I Threw Out My AirPods: My Best Decision of 2026

For years, I struggled with constant stimulation from YouTube, podcasts, music, and other media. My AirPods kept me connected to every device I owned, making it way too easy to give in to distraction, brain rot, and endless content consumption. In 2026, I made the decision to stop always having audio in my ears. Getting rid of my AirPods has helped me think more clearly, feel less stressed, process information better, and take back control of my attention. In this video, I talk about why I quit AirPods, how constant audio stimulation affected my life, and why this small digital detox became one of the best decisions I’ve made.
