0:01:23 > 0:01:25My name's Yogscast Kim and I am a YouTuber.

0:01:25 > 0:01:29You do sometimes forget to take a break to even go for lunch,

0:01:30 > 0:01:34You do sometimes forget to take a break to even go for lunch,

0:01:34 > 0:01:37even eat or go to the toilet or something like that and,

0:01:37 > 0:01:40before you realise, it's like four hours later and it's actually

0:01:40 > 0:01:43midnight and your family and loved ones have gone to bed,

0:01:43 > 0:01:48so there's definitely lots of times where I spend way too much time

0:01:48 > 0:01:50looking at a screen.

0:01:50 > 0:01:56My concentration is a lot poorer than it used to be.

0:01:56 > 0:01:59My sleeping habits, I find it difficult to sleep.

0:01:59 > 0:02:01Also I feel like I'm wasting time.

0:02:01 > 0:02:05I see a screen as soon as I wake up and I immediately almost reflexively

0:02:05 > 0:02:08check e-mails to see what's come in overnight because and that's

0:02:08 > 0:02:11awful because then I spend about 10, 15, 20 minutes in bed before I get

0:02:11 > 0:02:17up and I could just get up and do stuff and see the world but no,

0:02:17 > 0:02:20I'm just checking to see one more stupid cat video.

0:02:20 > 0:02:23And I call it the refresh cycle where you just open one thing,

0:02:23 > 0:02:26refresh it, catch up, open the next thing,

0:02:26 > 0:02:29refresh, check it, catch up and you just go in this endless

0:02:29 > 0:02:31cycle that goes for five minutes, 10 minutes, 20 minutes,

0:02:31 > 0:02:3440 minutes and then you realise you've just spent 50 minutes

0:02:34 > 0:02:37literally just going from one app to another app to another app

0:02:37 > 0:02:40to another app.

0:02:43 > 0:02:46Since joining team sports and doing Cross Fit at the gym,

0:02:49 > 0:02:52I don't feel unfit any more.

0:02:52 > 0:02:58I don't feel out of breath and I do feel a lot healthier than I used to.

0:03:01 > 0:03:05Tech can be such a great platform for teaching you,

0:03:05 > 0:03:10for kind of opening your eyes and learning new things and adding

0:03:10 > 0:03:11to your skill set.

0:03:24 > 0:03:27is it really that important for me to check in on what the latest

0:03:27 > 0:03:28cat video is?

0:03:28 > 0:03:31Probably not.

0:03:31 > 0:03:34It was the annual Oxford vs Cambridge University Boat Race

0:03:34 > 0:03:37yesterday, the 162nd time the race has been held,

0:03:37 > 0:03:40and it didn't quite go to plan for Cambridge.

0:03:40 > 0:03:47The Cambridge women's boat almost sank and their ivals Oxford

0:03:47 > 0:03:50The Cambridge women's boat almost sank and their rivals Oxford

0:03:50 > 0:03:52were able to pull away and win the race.

0:03:52 > 0:03:55In the men's race, Cambridge had better luck and rowed to victory.

0:03:57 > 0:03:58Hanging out with your family?

0:03:58 > 0:03:59An easter egg hunt perhaps?

0:03:59 > 0:04:03How about a visit from a sky-diving Easter bunny?

0:04:03 > 0:04:06Well, children in Pennsylvania, in the USA, were surprised

0:04:06 > 0:04:09by a dramatic Easter Bunny entrance yesterday.

0:04:21 > 0:04:23of the city in a tradition that stretches back to the 1870s.

0:04:23 > 0:04:30And in Germany, instead of eating eggs they've been throwing them!

0:04:30 > 0:04:33The aim was to throw the brightly painted eggs the furthest distance

0:04:33 > 0:04:37without smashing them.
