Roger that! I love how he delivers truths and makes them seem possible. So many have delivered the exact same message and I was left feeling like hiding under a rock. Struthless you rock!
The acknowledgment of the chronically ill and disabled in the beginning made me feel seen in a world that often forgets us. Especially after the past year. Thank you for this. As always, wonderful work.
1. You are a marvelous human man 2. I’m not hitting on you, I’m a 72 year old artist/successful musician who has had enough time to check out how the world works and you, dear one, have a LIFE ahead of you! Notice I didn’t say perfect or great or any superlative because any Life truly lived has its Ups and Downs, but YOU, you already have a Compass (at least 80% of the battle!) Congratulations 3. I’m so glad that I found your channel. You’re an inspiration! Keep up the good work!
Just a couple of minutes into the video and I realised how much I genuinely missed you man. I can definitely confirm that your videos make the world a better place. You're the funny, caring and concerningly wise friend everybody should have
I really liked that he took in consideration disabled people, mothers and others in this video because a lot of the time we forget that depending on who we are the time management can be completely different or take longer for something smaller. Thanks for the reflection lol
"If you do happen to over commit you have to deliver". yep! been there done that and it was worth it. I think the one thing I would add to this video is make sure what you are committing to do are your priorities and not somebody else's. it's amazing how much of our time goes to other peoples asks when we haven't even gotten our priorities done yet.
The fact that you toss kids AND chronic illness is amazing because spoon theory with chronic illness is a thing and having it acknowledged is pretty powerful. Good on you sir
I mean, it seems obvious, but breaking things down into "first shitty page" levels -- that's SUPER helpful!! it's not going to be amazing from the start, but it won't be ANYTHING unless you start! thanks for another great video :D
There's been more times than I'd like to admit where I was completely overwhelmed with something and, in the end, handed in my shitty draft. I'm not lying, it worked 100% of the time.
“Third disclaimer…I don’t have a chronic illness.” Yes, thank you! I have fibromyalgia along with a few other physical and mental issues. Some days I am an absolute fiend checking things off my to-do list and other days I can barely get anything done because it’s a high pain day or a high symptom day. I try to tell myself that’s alright. Thank you for acknowledging us 😊
I dont usually think productivity youtubers are genuine. But you hit different man. In my opinion you actually make a world a better place. Iam very pleased that you fougth your addictions. Cheers
Have chronic fatigue after getting covid in March 2020. Clicked onto this video because I'm struggling to manage all the work I used to now lockdown is easing and my work is picking up. Reversed my car into a tree on Wednesday. Because I was fatigued from doing a fraction of my old work load. Your intro mentioning chronic illness just stopped me in my tracks. I have a chronic illness. Normal rules don't apply. I can only do what I can do. I need to reassess my schedule. I'm going to watch the rest of the video now. Thank you for getting what I'm dealing with, even when I didn't!
I like the rule of doubling the time you think a task might take to make a more realistic plan but it also makes me wonder how Parkinson’s Law comes into play then too. How do you decipher when you’ve given yourself enough realistic time or simply filled an overcorrection?
Depends on your goals but having more time lets you decide when something is "done". Having more time might let you refine something and make it better than it wouold have been. Also, adjust your estimate for similar tasks over time if you're always out.
I wouldn't worry about the law, it was meant as satire after all, its holding you back from taking the first step. If you finish early make a note so if you face a similar issue in the future you can compare and decide if the outcome will be the same. Id you think you spent too much time, you can make a note of that too. Also, if you finish early, you can move on to the next task.
Everyday I think I'm falling apart you bring this videos to me easy to digest on real information and suddenly things looks doable so thank you and please don't stop making videos
Topic idea 💡: how to get over things that havent happened and probably wont happen to you? I like the quote worrying makes you live the pain twice - however if you're just worrying then that's not helpful and hurts you
I'm so happy you exist. I still don't have my life together yet but your videos really help me understand myself and eventually I think I'll get there.
I am 53 with chronic illness, adolescent kids to whom i owe it to get my shot together and an ambition for two community Projects i want to set up, one multi million dollar and the other at least 50k and i don’t have any income or experience in this sort of thing, but your videos are helping me lean towards going for it, what i have i got to lose after all, my self respect and reputation went many years ago, and it is ok, i am quite prepared to fail.
i appreciate that you mention illnesses and other things in the beginning. I have really bad depression and ADHD just tops it off. It's so hard to even do normal people things, imagine trying to do anything that will reap fruit in the future when you don't even give a f about future, cuz well, you wanna be gone. Everything feels so empty and meaningless and I never have energy, brainfog is also a (redactred). People brush that off as a laziness but only I know how many times I just sat with my tabled and felt numb then cried out of frustration.
Struthless always coming with the bars! Such a balanced view on being a creative. We're not robots, we're all human beings who have ups and downs. 24 hours in a day isn't built for us to always be grinding, let's be easy on ourselves and be human!
Just started the video but I'm so appreciative for the note about chronic illnesses making this might not work. It means a lot to have that pointed out!
I seriously have to watch these videos over and over to grasp and learn everything there is in here. I started drawing a house everyday 347 days to go!
sometimes i feel like you're very similar to me but you're 11 years older so it's genuinely so nice to see you figuring it all out. makes me feel like i can too!
These videos are saving me from absolutely losing it as a self taught artist figuring out deadlines and commissions. Excited for UA-cam to get higher on the priority list!
hi, i'm from brazil. i've never found someone who gaves to me so practicals things. changes have being since i put in practice your guide. so, genually thanks for all!
As a former addict myself, I love what you're doing, and even though I've been clean for 5 years, got married, and had kids; I feel like I've been in a rut for the last year or so and not moving forward. I just recently discovered your channel and it seems to really be helping me get a grip on my aspirations and where I want to go in life. This video in particular seems very helpful given that 90% of my day is spent either working, picking up after my 2 year old, and of course spending time with the wife. I see this as the time management equivalent to a Dave Ramsey budget, that dude helped me get my finances together and when I put it all on paper I realized that I had about $300 of surplus money each month that I could be investing or saving instead of getting take out or buying new toys (tools, car mods, ect.). I hope that I can use the tips in this video to do something similar and be able to carve out a good hour or two after work to have time to do the things I want that could help me move forward in life
I like many have said down below really REALLY appreciate you acknowledging the disabled/chronic illness community and acknowledging that time management can be harder when you have unpredictability in your life. Real life scenarios: Dr: ' now you have a chronic illness why don't you spend all that time you now have learning the guitar.' A doctor over 2 years later, 'why don't you walk along the beach and pick up rubbish in your spare time to help your mental health.' Answer to both, crippling pain and fatigue makes being alive hard enough thanks. XD But also makes your understanding that it doesn't give you more usable time even more appreciated, as I don't often get it in my everyday life.
YES FINALLY SOMEONE THAT GETS IT - everyone knows the productivity advice, but confidently setting a structure is different to sitting down in the quiet space that structure assigns you with hard work ahead of you. I always feel so seen when I watch your videos. Thank you!
The part about doing it for your kid really resonated. I have a tattoo on my wrist with 2 symbols representing both of my daughters. It is turned inwards, towards me, and whenever I'm struggling I can look at it and remember I'm doing it for them. Thanks for the great content as always and good luck on hitting those goals!
For me, living with a chronic illness and being a procrastinator, your advice on productivity definitely works for me too. I can't work for 16 hours a day but I can work within my own limits, I just need to have my priorities right and factor in rest, how much I can do on a good day, and how much on a bad. I also need to factor in more flexibility and learn to know my limits. Never promise things that are unrealistic in my situation and learn to say no. Some I do better at nowadays but being a procrastinator I liked the false deadline advice.
One of the most underrated youtuber. Your desclaimer about health and family members were pretty amazing. The fact that you were even considerate about those situations shows that you are an overall nice person and not one of those you-can-do-it gurus.
You are such a lovely person. Your children are going to have a cool, compassionate dad with a life story they can't wait to share with their friends. ☺ Good luck on all of your projects, and thank you for sharing your process here!
You always pop up just when I need to know that things are possible! I love your content and it actually helps me in my work. (Mental health Respite work) Cannot wait for the book that is so awesome. You and Felicity seem like exactly the people I would want raising members of the next generation. *Baby dust*
This type A person actually decided to take a break from my artwork to watch your vid, thanks the encouraging words! Now...back to work and managing my time:)
I’m an artist. I love your videos. You combine being creative and mental health, nicely. I have 2 kids. Don’t wait till your ready, You never will be. They are a wonderful addition to your life. Gives you even more purpose.
I unironically got a pen and paper to write out my priorities list and make a hierarchy. Been stuck in a rut lately of feeling worn out from work so having no energy for any hobby things in the evening, but maybe it's just in my head that the hobbies aren't my priority (so I'm making them!)
When a friend is asking you out don‘t say „We can meet after I‘m finished studying“ instead say „We can meet after I worked through chapter x in book so and so“. Makes a huge difference.
Watching this video now knowing that you’ve got a lovely new born is such a heart warming feeling. I’m doing the tripling my time plan thinking “I don’t know what I’m doing so I will just have to accept this takes longer and I will eventually start to do things better”, when you said “just triple your time” it’s such a comfort and encouragement. Thanks heaps ❤️
Thank you once again for making an awesome, relatable, and sincere video you are the only channel I can come for advice that doesn't feel like a Pinterest hashtag!
2:43 this is such a thing though, i have boxes on my to do list every day and i know exactly when i need to get up in order to be able to tick all of them off but. guess who wakes up 3 hours late because they don't wanna start doing things lol this just really resonated with me
Honestly, I come back to your channel whenever I feel down or overwhelmed and you lift my mood immediately! Thanks for being there doing this. Lots of love from Turkey ❤️
That is going to be one lucky kid! It really hits home about do it for your future children. I used to think that it's crazy that I'm thinking about kids! I'm still in college! But it really motivates me to be a better person and do better.
You are so sincere, and I am so thankful for every word. As an artist from Hawaii living in the mainland I am re learning what it means to live and make art. So when I found your channel, your stoke...inspiration and amazing way of breaking things down soo helps! \!!!/ Cheers & Alohas and your videos always seem to say the right things at the right time for me. But my FAVE part of the video is at the end (when I pause your video to like/ or write a comment) because no matter when I seem to pause it, you are always smiling and eyes are so clear and kind, truly makes me happy! Thank you, Mahalo for always sharing your talent and wisdom, jokes too :)
Thank you for your honesty & all the tips. I am proud of where you are! I really wish to be there as well. There's a lot I wish to do but lately I've lost my "why". Sitting with the thought: "If you want to do anything that's good, you have to do something that sucks" 🙏🏻
He’s going to be an amazing dad, first vid I’ve watched of him and my mind is already blown, their son or daughter is going to be set for life with this kind of advice
You are such a kind sweetheart! 💚💙 You really do make this world a better place and I'm (and many others) are so thankful for your work! Don't worry to much! YOU ARE AMAZING! 🌺🙏
You are a year older than me. This is comforting in that, i know what I want. I have designed my life, layed out what I want to achieve. I framed myself successfully into the fixed set of things I want to focus on. I have realistic goals. My vision is thicker than all the fat people in your neighbourhood. I'm getting quite used to not having moral support. My brain feels broken. I'm obviously depressed. Have been for years. This is comforting. Thank you very much. ❤️
Love your videos and wise, practical commentary, all in a non judgmental, easy going, entertaining way. Youare gold. Keep on doing what yu are doing. You are providing a much needed service to humanity. You certainly lift my spirits.
As a 53f with a 21yo son, I can confidently say.... there is NO perfect time to have a family. Life always gets in the way. Not that you have to make it a priority, but you may really may want to consider just ending any sort of contraception you're trying and... see what happens. Nowdays I hear about sooooo many couples that try 2, 3, ... 10 years before getting pregnant. WITH fertility treatments. So from an old woman I'll say... let your contraception methods expire, and let nature take its course. You're gonna have a hell of a lot of fun! And if your miracle happens, celebrate!!!! Best of luck, and may your angels watch over you both :)
You're back! 😊 Two things I've learned from you literally changed my life. 1. 70% rule 2. Something you said (relating to addiction) about how the high you get from not getting high is better than the high of actually getting high... The second one's a bit harder at times because because well, weed is awesome. But nevertheless this advice has stuck with me. So thanks for these little gems of wisdom 💙
This is so me... It's getting better, I'll get there soon. Especially that part about actually having time but it's just not my priority is something that I thought about today, it really fits. I definitely agree with you, we are professional procrastinators.
I can relate sooo much to the "talking about my to-do list to a friend" part! It motivates me even more, but everytime I'm like "dam*ed , REALLY? So impressing people? we're that far? " but as you said at the end of the day, it works, so...
You are by far one of my favorite self improvement UA-camrs. Honest, open and down to Earth. Helpful in a way that isn't intimidating. And very relatable. Thanks for your work.
This was great, I missed your happy face so much! And I’m glad that you have some time for YT now. I like the segment about priorities because some of my priorities compete with each other (same for everyone I’m sure) and I don’t know how to reconcile it. Managing my energy is one priority, but I have some other priorities that demand more resources than I feel like I have. I do have enough time for the other things I want so it’s not actually a time management problem; I feel like I’m constantly running out of gas so the down time to recover feels (to me) like it takes away from my other goals. Making downtime a priority is crucial for anyone, but the experience of needing more rest than I used to is uncomfortable. Not sure if that’s a topic you want to dive into but I’d love it if anyone else cares to comment.
You are honestly my biggest inspiration! Your videos motivate me constantly and I love your advice! In one of your videos you mentioned how motivation doesn’t just come to you (most times) you just have to DO IT and then the motivation comes! And I’ve been DOING IT! And it’s been working and I’ve been getting better and feeling more productive every day. Thank you for your videos I love listening to you speak and I love your art
Congrats to you and your partner on fulfilling one of your goals! You’ll make a great father. You’re incredibly insightful and you have tons of wisdom to pass down!
I'm really happy you showed steps in the planning part at the beginning because I am one of the few people who really didn't know how to plan well.Thank you!
My notes on the video if they're useful to anyone! Cam just makes such good points in all these video's that I felt the need to write them down! **Why you feel like you never have enough time** - spin things in good way - break a project up into parts / steps - give deadlines to parts - getting it done is hard part - Mindset - Rules: just pick a deadline, - people overestimate what you can do in a day, underestimate what you can do in a year - double amount of time you think is going to take - keep free time for unexpected opportunities / flexibility - you have to deliver if you over-commit - Scheduling free time is important - Make yourself accountable to someone - If you say you don’t have time for something, it’s just not your priority - Make hierarchy of importance of things you want to do -> good for chaotic ambition - Why do you do the things you do? - peaks and valleys - need a reason to keep going - make the world a bit nicer - always compromise doing fun and less fun stuff
You create things with the sole purpose of making a true difference in people's lives, and always uplift others. Never underestimate the difference you've made in people's lives. You've been a guiding light in my life for years. Thank you. Your content is amazing, and so are you.
Okay, I’m a 40 year old married Texas lady (go ahead and judge) why in the world do I find your videos so inspiring? 1. I really appreciate your editing and the way you present your information; that is a two fold compliment, because the editing makes it all clear and concise, and your time in front of the camera/personality makes it very fun and relatable. 2. You always have solid ideas and advise 3. Everything is simply more fun when the graphics are fun. -This isn’t a joke, I really believe that graphics/font presentation have a huge role to play in our captivation, ever watch Mad Men? 4. Sincerity is genuine and felt through this crazy platform of UA-cam.
THANKS for being a superbly real human! Something that you probably already talked about in your future videos is the relationship between time & energy: Chaotic energy happens with procrastination and the ensuing panic to get it done; contrasted with Calm-Confident energy of prioritising and planning. It's a constant tug o' war in my world, so yeah, I resonate ;0, Be strong and courageous, and do the work
That was really insightful. Ive heard a few of those messages in different places but you brought it all together and it makes more sense in a system of accountability and action as opposed to random, feel-good anecdotes. Thanks for this video.
I really can't put into words how much I love your videos! You are incredibly insightful, wise, and articulate! I'm so happy to hear that you will continue to make more videos! Thank you for all you do to make the world a better place!
I'm so glad I found your channel, so relatable and filled with great advice. Also, through your honesty and great respect for people and their differences it just adds a bit of extra magic. Thank you for being you! 🙂
i know this video is older and this’ll never be seen but your videos have given me clarity that I can make a change and not just sit here wanting to. buying the book this week, i hope i can take the steps because i know my potential is surmountable but i cannot put it to use.
The reason I love your videos is because I feel like we have so much in common! It's so encouraging to me to see someone who has a similar work/procrastination style and can still be successful with their goals! Also: I feel so much pressure to make online content, and it's just not as important as doing work in the physical realm. I mean, it's great to share what you're doing, but I find that creating online content prevents me from reaching my goals. So it's always good to see someone who has their priorities straight when it comes to creating for an audience!
Thank you so much for this! I pride myself a lot in being a "go with the flow" person but in recent years / months I've wanted something different. I love your videos because they are so perfect for creative folks who don't struggle with new ideas or being excited or being inspired, but DO struggle with feeling like discipline isn't crushing or "for other people." This is discipline for artists. Thank you!!!
came on youtube frequently just to see if you had posted any new videos and my friends ! today is a good day. Thank you for the inspiration, laughs, and realness always. You make a difference
Instead of a hierarchy (which is just another to-do list) I made a mindmap with me in the center and all the things I want to get done / change / deal with surrounding me in a circle. I gave things colors to indicate what I want changed, what I want to achieve and what is more of a long-term general goal. My idea was that I can look at this map and see all the things at a glance, then "turn" a certain way and deal with whatever I feel most capable of or motivated to do. That way, if I feel like I wasted my day, I can look at the map and see which of the things I did do and think about how important they were to me on this day.
"People massively overestimate what they can do in a day and underestimate what they can do in a year."
I'm people.

Such a good question! This often holds me back from assigning more time to tasks
Depends on your goals but having more time lets you decide when something is "done". Having more time might let you refine something and make it better than it wouold have been. Also, adjust your estimate for similar tasks over time if you're always out.
Ah I'm just here to say that I love your videos, Mykie! ❤

Seeing struthless has a new video = day made
As a former addict myself, I love what you're doing, and even though I've been clean for 5 years, got married, and had kids; I feel like I've been in a rut for the last year or so and not moving forward. I just recently discovered your channel and it seems to really be helping me get a grip on my aspirations and where I want to go in life. This video in particular seems very helpful given that 90% of my day is spent either working, picking up after my 2 year old, and of course spending time with the wife. I see this as the time management equivalent to a Dave Ramsey budget, that dude helped me get my finances together and when I put it all on paper I realized that I had about $300 of surplus money each month that I could be investing or saving instead of getting take out or buying new toys (tools, car mods, ect.). I hope that I can use the tips in this video to do something similar and be able to carve out a good hour or two after work to have time to do the things I want that could help me move forward in life
I like many have said down below really REALLY appreciate you acknowledging the disabled/chronic illness community and acknowledging that time management can be harder when you have unpredictability in your life.
Real life scenarios: Dr: ' now you have a chronic illness why don't you spend all that time you now have learning the guitar.'
A doctor over 2 years later, 'why don't you walk along the beach and pick up rubbish in your spare time to help your mental health.'
Answer to both, crippling pain and fatigue makes being alive hard enough thanks. XD
But also makes your understanding that it doesn't give you more usable time even more appreciated, as I don't often get it in my everyday life.
YES FINALLY SOMEONE THAT GETS IT - everyone knows the productivity advice, but confidently setting a structure is different to sitting down in the quiet space that structure assigns you with hard work ahead of you. I always feel so seen when I watch your videos. Thank you!
The part about doing it for your kid really resonated. I have a tattoo on my wrist with 2 symbols representing both of my daughters. It is turned inwards, towards me, and whenever I'm struggling I can look at it and remember I'm doing it for them. Thanks for the great content as always and good luck on hitting those goals!
For me, living with a chronic illness and being a procrastinator, your advice on productivity definitely works for me too. I can't work for 16 hours a day but I can work within my own limits, I just need to have my priorities right and factor in rest, how much I can do on a good day, and how much on a bad. I also need to factor in more flexibility and learn to know my limits. Never promise things that are unrealistic in my situation and learn to say no. Some I do better at nowadays but being a procrastinator I liked the false deadline advice.
You're genuinely improving my life, through your tips and vids! Love ya.
One of the most underrated youtuber. Your desclaimer about health and family members were pretty amazing. The fact that you were even considerate about those situations shows that you are an overall nice person and not one of those you-can-do-it gurus.
You are such a lovely person. Your children are going to have a cool, compassionate dad with a life story they can't wait to share with their friends. ☺ Good luck on all of your projects, and thank you for sharing your process here!
You always pop up just when I need to know that things are possible! I love your content and it actually helps me in my work. (Mental health Respite work) Cannot wait for the book that is so awesome. You and Felicity seem like exactly the people I would want raising members of the next generation. *Baby dust*
This type A person actually decided to take a break from my artwork to watch your vid, thanks the encouraging words! Now...back to work and managing my time:)
I’m an artist. I love your videos. You combine being creative and mental health, nicely. I have 2 kids. Don’t wait till your ready, You never will be. They are a wonderful addition to your life. Gives you even more purpose.
I unironically got a pen and paper to write out my priorities list and make a hierarchy. Been stuck in a rut lately of feeling worn out from work so having no energy for any hobby things in the evening, but maybe it's just in my head that the hobbies aren't my priority (so I'm making them!)
^^ 👌
When a friend is asking you out don‘t say „We can meet after I‘m finished studying“ instead say „We can meet after I worked through chapter x in book so and so“. Makes a huge difference.
Watching this video now knowing that you’ve got a lovely new born is such a heart warming feeling. I’m doing the tripling my time plan thinking “I don’t know what I’m doing so I will just have to accept this takes longer and I will eventually start to do things better”, when you said “just triple your time” it’s such a comfort and encouragement. Thanks heaps ❤️
Thank you once again for making an awesome, relatable, and sincere video
you are the only channel I can come for advice that doesn't feel like a Pinterest hashtag!
2:43 this is such a thing though, i have boxes on my to do list every day and i know exactly when i need to get up in order to be able to tick all of them off but. guess who wakes up 3 hours late because they don't wanna start doing things lol this just really resonated with me
Thank you for putting the time in to these self help videos so we can have a stable life.
“To make the world a better place”. Yes, man! Thank you for sharing your videos. 👍🏻
Honestly, I come back to your channel whenever I feel down or overwhelmed and you lift my mood immediately! Thanks for being there doing this. Lots of love from Turkey ❤️
That is going to be one lucky kid!
It really hits home about do it for your future children. I used to think that it's crazy that I'm thinking about kids! I'm still in college! But it really motivates me to be a better person and do better.
i like what you said at the end, the bit about the compromise of work: if you want to do anything that is good, you have to do something that sucks
You are so sincere, and I am so thankful for every word.
As an artist from Hawaii living in the mainland I am re learning what it means to live and make art.
So when I found your channel, your stoke...inspiration and amazing way of breaking things down soo helps!
\!!!/ Cheers & Alohas and your videos always seem to say the right things at the right time for me.
But my FAVE part of the video is at the end (when I pause your video to like/ or write a comment) because no matter when I seem to pause it, you are always smiling and eyes are so clear and kind, truly makes me happy!
Thank you, Mahalo for always sharing your talent and wisdom, jokes too :)
Thank you for your honesty & all the tips. I am proud of where you are! I really wish to be there as well. There's a lot I wish to do but lately I've lost my "why".
Sitting with the thought: "If you want to do anything that's good, you have to do something that sucks" 🙏🏻
He’s going to be an amazing dad, first vid I’ve watched of him and my mind is already blown, their son or daughter is going to be set for life with this kind of advice
You are such a kind sweetheart! 💚💙 You really do make this world a better place and I'm (and many others) are so thankful for your work! Don't worry to much! YOU ARE AMAZING! 🌺🙏
You are a year older than me.
This is comforting in that, i know what I want. I have designed my life, layed out what I want to achieve. I framed myself successfully into the fixed set of things I want to focus on. I have realistic goals.
My vision is thicker than all the fat people in your neighbourhood. I'm getting quite used to not having moral support.
My brain feels broken. I'm obviously depressed. Have been for years.
This is comforting.
Thank you very much. ❤️
Love your videos and wise, practical commentary, all in a non judgmental, easy going, entertaining way. Youare gold. Keep on doing what yu are doing. You are providing a much needed service to humanity. You certainly lift my spirits.
As a 53f with a 21yo son, I can confidently say.... there is NO perfect time to have a family. Life always gets in the way. Not that you have to make it a priority, but you may really may want to consider just ending any sort of contraception you're trying and... see what happens. Nowdays I hear about sooooo many couples that try 2, 3, ... 10 years before getting pregnant. WITH fertility treatments. So from an old woman I'll say... let your contraception methods expire, and let nature take its course. You're gonna have a hell of a lot of fun! And if your miracle happens, celebrate!!!! Best of luck, and may your angels watch over you both :)
you are like the kindest, most genuine and helpful creator I've ever come across! LOVE YA CONTENT
You're back! 😊
Two things I've learned from you literally changed my life.
1. 70% rule
2. Something you said (relating to addiction) about how the high you get from not getting high is better than the high of actually getting high...
The second one's a bit harder at times because because well, weed is awesome.
But nevertheless this advice has stuck with me.
So thanks for these little gems of wisdom 💙
This is so me... It's getting better, I'll get there soon. Especially that part about actually having time but it's just not my priority is something that I thought about today, it really fits.
I definitely agree with you, we are professional procrastinators.
I can relate sooo much to the "talking about my to-do list to a friend" part! It motivates me even more, but everytime I'm like "dam*ed , REALLY? So impressing people? we're that far? " but as you said at the end of the day, it works, so...
Makes the world a lot nicer. So much help is a pretty good reason to do it.
Pls don’t worry about infrequent uploads. The videos you have uploaded this year have been SO HELPFUL. I’m excited to make my list of priorities ^_^
I love how real and relatable this guy is
I just wanted to let you know that your videos have helped me over the last the last few days and I appreciate you
you have the most down-to-earth "self-help" videos I've seen on here, thanks!
You are by far one of my favorite self improvement UA-camrs. Honest, open and down to Earth. Helpful in a way that isn't intimidating. And very relatable. Thanks for your work.
This was great, I missed your happy face so much! And I’m glad that you have some time for YT now. I like the segment about priorities because some of my priorities compete with each other (same for everyone I’m sure) and I don’t know how to reconcile it. Managing my energy is one priority, but I have some other priorities that demand more resources than I feel like I have. I do have enough time for the other things I want so it’s not actually a time management problem; I feel like I’m constantly running out of gas so the down time to recover feels (to me) like it takes away from my other goals. Making downtime a priority is crucial for anyone, but the experience of needing more rest than I used to is uncomfortable. Not sure if that’s a topic you want to dive into but I’d love it if anyone else cares to comment.
It’s seems simple words but it sums up many great development guru talks. But straight on the point with no marketing bs. Thanks for sharing your work
Omg.. just when I needed it
You are honestly my biggest inspiration! Your videos motivate me constantly and I love your advice! In one of your videos you mentioned how motivation doesn’t just come to you (most times) you just have to DO IT and then the motivation comes! And I’ve been DOING IT! And it’s been working and I’ve been getting better and feeling more productive every day. Thank you for your videos I love listening to you speak and I love your art
Congrats to you and your partner on fulfilling one of your goals! You’ll make a great father. You’re incredibly insightful and you have tons of wisdom to pass down!
I'm really happy you showed steps in the planning part at the beginning because I am one of the few people who really didn't know how to plan well.Thank you!
My notes on the video if they're useful to anyone! Cam just makes such good points in all these video's that I felt the need to write them down!
**Why you feel like you never have enough time**
- spin things in good way
- break a project up into parts / steps
- give deadlines to parts
- getting it done is hard part
- Mindset
- Rules: just pick a deadline,
- people overestimate what you can do in a day, underestimate what you can do in a year
- double amount of time you think is going to take
- keep free time for unexpected opportunities / flexibility
- you have to deliver if you over-commit
- Scheduling free time is important
- Make yourself accountable to someone
- If you say you don’t have time for something, it’s just not your priority
- Make hierarchy of importance of things you want to do -> good for chaotic ambition
- Why do you do the things you do?
- peaks and valleys
- need a reason to keep going
- make the world a bit nicer
- always compromise doing fun and less fun stuff
You create things with the sole purpose of making a true difference in people's lives, and always uplift others. Never underestimate the difference you've made in people's lives. You've been a guiding light in my life for years. Thank you. Your content is amazing, and so are you.
Okay, I’m a 40 year old married Texas lady (go ahead and judge) why in the world do I find your videos so inspiring? 1. I really appreciate your editing and the way you present your information; that is a two fold compliment, because the editing makes it all clear and concise, and your time in front of the camera/personality makes it very fun and relatable. 2. You always have solid ideas and advise 3. Everything is simply more fun when the graphics are fun. -This isn’t a joke, I really believe that graphics/font presentation have a huge role to play in our captivation, ever watch Mad Men? 4. Sincerity is genuine and felt through this crazy platform of UA-cam.
THANKS for being a superbly real human! Something that you probably already talked about in your future videos is the relationship between time & energy: Chaotic energy happens with procrastination and the ensuing panic to get it done; contrasted with Calm-Confident energy of prioritising and planning. It's a constant tug o' war in my world, so yeah, I resonate ;0, Be strong and courageous, and do the work
You're accomplishing your goal of making the world a nicer place, at least for me, congrats, glad I found your channel! Hugs from argentina
That was really insightful. Ive heard a few of those messages in different places but you brought it all together and it makes more sense in a system of accountability and action as opposed to random, feel-good anecdotes. Thanks for this video.
I really can't put into words how much I love your videos! You are incredibly insightful, wise, and articulate! I'm so happy to hear that you will continue to make more videos! Thank you for all you do to make the world a better place!
Dude I feel like our lives are so synced with the way we approach things! Also you'll be a great dad one day.
I'm so glad I found your channel, so relatable and filled with great advice. Also, through your honesty and great respect for people and their differences it just adds a bit of extra magic. Thank you for being you! 🙂
Dziękujemy.
i know this video is older and this’ll never be seen but your videos have given me clarity that I can make a change and not just sit here wanting to. buying the book this week, i hope i can take the steps because i know my potential is surmountable but i cannot put it to use.
The reason I love your videos is because I feel like we have so much in common! It's so encouraging to me to see someone who has a similar work/procrastination style and can still be successful with their goals! Also: I feel so much pressure to make online content, and it's just not as important as doing work in the physical realm. I mean, it's great to share what you're doing, but I find that creating online content prevents me from reaching my goals. So it's always good to see someone who has their priorities straight when it comes to creating for an audience!
Thank you so much for this! I pride myself a lot in being a "go with the flow" person but in recent years / months I've wanted something different. I love your videos because they are so perfect for creative folks who don't struggle with new ideas or being excited or being inspired, but DO struggle with feeling like discipline isn't crushing or "for other people." This is discipline for artists. Thank you!!!
This video was uploaded at the perfect time as I'm currently struggling a lot with time management, thank you!
came on youtube frequently just to see if you had posted any new videos and my friends ! today is a good day. Thank you for the inspiration, laughs, and realness always. You make a difference
Is always nice for me to re-review the videos that helped me out. Thank you once again.
Instead of a hierarchy (which is just another to-do list) I made a mindmap with me in the center and all the things I want to get done / change / deal with surrounding me in a circle. I gave things colors to indicate what I want changed, what I want to achieve and what is more of a long-term general goal.
My idea was that I can look at this map and see all the things at a glance, then "turn" a certain way and deal with whatever I feel most capable of or motivated to do. That way, if I feel like I wasted my day, I can look at the map and see which of the things I did do and think about how important they were to me on this day.
