Hi everyone, my name is Gaël. I am currently studying in Social Sciences at Ahuntsic College. The Social Science program focuses on understanding human behavior, society, and culture through disciplines like psychology, sociology, history, and economics. It prepares students for university studies in fields like law, education, or social work by developing critical thinking and research skills.
Managing screen time and staying ahead of your work is not an easy thing to do.
In the past, I had problems with my internet use, and it had a negative effect on my school work.
But with the help of a couple of strategies, I was able to overcome my screen addiction and finish my last year with excellent grades.
This video is meant to show you one of the tricks that helped me not be distracted by social media while I was doing school work.
Listen for five minutes, and I really think this could better your productivity while using certain websites that can be distracting.
I doubt you ever saw this trick.
In Social Sciences in particular, we need to listen to a lot of documentaries on Youtube. These documentaries really help the overall understanding of the complex social problems we study but Youtube is a website that is made intentionally to distract you more precisely with their short content. "Shorts" are the equivalent of "Tiktoks" but on Youtube, and they can be really distracting.
It can sometimes lead to a lot of time wasted by scrolling these "shorts" and not doing your work. It is frustrating because you wanted to do your work but these videos are placed on the website to make you click, and it takes a lot of mental strength to ignore them.
For example, homework that is due for the next day might not be as good as it could have been because of the time wasted on Youtube and not listening to your documentary.
This video will not only fix that particular situation but will also help you to listen to your normal videos without constantly getting tempted by these brain rotting short videos.
First of all, you need to install Ublock origin. It's a great tool that can block a lot of stuff on your browser. Type this URL into the address bar (ublockorigin.com), and hit enter. Then, click the install button on the top right of the screen. Once that is done, it will bring you to another webpage where you'll click on install on google chrome in the top right as well. Finnaly, you are going to type christitus.com/remove-youtube-shorts/ in the address bar and hit enter.
You will see at the top the title of the article and if you scroll down, you'll see the code necessary to remove the Youtube Shorts.
Once ublockorigin is installed and on your browser and that the webpage with the code is opened, you are going to open ublockorigin on your browser by clicking on the puzzle button in the top right of your screen, right besides the search bar. Choose ublockorigin and go to parameter in the bottom right of the page and click on the filter button. You are then going to copy the code on the christitus webpage and paste it in the filters of ublockorigin. Click apply changes and it is done.
This is how you can remove Youtube shorts from your computer to keep being productive while you work on the website. It will also give you the chance to listen to your good old videos without the shorts trying to have your attention. I hope this trick helped you and made you save time.
