    Hey Nate, just wanted to say that your recommendation from one of your other videos - to switch your phone to B&W mode - really helped me in minimizing screen time and feeling less stressed. So thank you! I love to see content about living more in the present and minimalism, keep it up.

    Absolutely loved this video! I’m always curious to see what people have on their phones and how they organize their apps, especially if you’re more of a minimalist. Over the past several months I’ve become a lot more selective about what’s apps I allow notifications from and also what apps I keep on my phone period. Intentionality is key.

    This video helped me bc I never thought to make certain apps bigger. I made my notes and calendar apps big bc I need to see my upcoming events bc I have bad memory and I always use my notes.
    A video about your thoughts on 9-5s and maybe people who are successful with their 9-5 jobs. I have an 8-5, and I don’t mind it. Although I wish I didn’t have to work that many hours. I just started the job but I hope that eventually I’m able to ask for fewer hours or get fridays off.
    Or maybe a video about different insurance types and how to find the best ones out there. Or a video about your current investments and how you’re handling the current state of things with inflation and stuff.

    I was most surprised by your black background, it feels extreme, like some sort of subconscious self-punishment being rationalized. Those live 3D moving backgrounds really do drain the battery but a simple image, come on! why not have an image that is inspiring or motivating or simply pleasant to look at? Self-punishment can become so ingrained that you actually convince yourself it's a self-improvement strategy. What do you think?
