This video is about why I quit social media for a year (also known as a digital sabbatical or a social media detox) and what I learned when I left social media.
__
Some of the benefits of quitting social media include:
– increased productivity
– increased creativity
– less distraction, more ability to think deeply
– happier (forces you to stop comparing your “behind the scenes” to everyones highlight reels)
The outline of this video:
1. Why I Quit
2. “Why Don’t You Just Control Your Usage”
3. What I Learned
4. How I Manage Social Media Now

This might be one of the most important videos I’ve edited in 2018. After everything that has been going on with the privacy crisis and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg going to Washington to speak with members of Congress, I felt that this video was timely. I think social media can be good but we must be careful with how we use it.

Music composed and arranged by my brother, the Absolute Motivation composer:
I made this video with the intention to help others in a motivational/inspirational form. The clips and music I have used I do not own in most cases. My understanding is that it is in correlation to Fair Right Use, however, given that it is open to interpretation if any owners of the content clips would like me to remove the video I have no problem and will do as fast as possible. please Email – Navidbakhsayesh@gmail.com – if you have any concerns at.
These videos are transformative in a positive sense, I take clips from various sources to help create an atmospheric feeling that will help people in different situations in their life. Be it overcoming hard challenges, giving them more fuel in various sporting scenes or act as hope for those who need to hear encouraging words.
I also do not wish to use the heart of any piece of the work that would perhaps decrease the market value of the original content, if anything I hope to promote the content so that people can reach out and subsequently increase the market value. These videos are to educate people in an entertaining fashion. Given these are very short videos the short parts I use them to act as a catalyst to further reading.
One of the most important videos I’ve made. After everything that happened to me in the past 2 years, I wanted to touch on an important subject. Social media isn’t evil by itself, but it’s fake and we need to open our eyes and realize that. The lives people share on social media, don’t reflect the reality they live in. After the privacy crisis in the past year, Mark Zuckerberg had to speak in front of congress.
Social media effects on your mental health are scary and we need to do something about it.
