Here’s a fun little fact. Each year that passes reduces the relative fraction that a “year” represents. When you’re four years old, one year is 25% of your lifetime. When you’re 10 that percentage is reduced by 15% in that one year is 10% of your lifetime. When you’re 40 you’ve gone way in the other direction, with one year representing a measly 0.025% of your lifetime. Enjoy it while it lasts!
How to watch a struthless video: Step 1: Watch the whole video Step 2: decide to watch it again but now with a journal ready. Step 3 : follow steps and pause every few seconds Step 4: wow, look at you:✨you gained some motivation & mental clarity✨
🤣🤣its a bit ironic cause i had planned to note down later after my first watch...then durring the weekend i wanted to carefully customize what he said to the stuff i want to finish up before the year end...but kudos to you for making that observation😍😘😶🌫
Yeah when the video has a 15minute run time but a 4hour process to actually implement 😂 it’s the same for the end of year reflection one I do every year 😅
Hahaha, right? I'm always overwhelmed (in a good way) by the info in his videos - and have to take a second pass to make sure I'm fully digesting all of the goodness contained within.
^^I second this 1000%. This video was amazing. And few videos have had as strong of an affect on me as your piece on Masculinity. Thanks. Please keep them coming struthless.
I Second that, f*ck your perfectionism, man! About what are you obsessing, anyway? How come that there are 6 Points ?!!!!? missing? Consistency?? There are only a few UA-camrs that make u feel like u found that needle in the hay FINALLY, you are ONE of them, at least for me. Be proud! Seeing one of your videos is out feels like it used to feel in high school when you saw your crush passing by in between lessons… happyhappyjoyjoy! Thank you for your wit, the details, the humour and the vulnerability. It is gold! LOVE to you and your Family! Take care!
Sometimes this is actually helpful: I had a friend say "have you thought about becoming a welder" and it gave me a goal, and I did it. I didn't make a career out of it but I've worked as one, I have welding certs in the US and Canada and I've helped build giant metal sculpture that's on display in the middle of a major (sorta) US city.
I use a hate list - I write down everything I dislike about my life and then take some time away and write out a plan in a way I would advise a friend. I've found that I make more progress that way bc I'm addressing what’s affecting me now rather than what I want in some abstract future. I get closer to what I want from noticing what I don't and looking at it from a third person perspective
I decided not to use ANY screens for half a day a week lately. It's quite amazing how much more you get done. I hope to expand that to more moments during the week!
You're really gonna drop this and say your youtube is 4/10? Man's not even operating at full power The way you share ideas is so unique and concise! I always find myself wanting to get up and draw afterwards. Thanks for being an inspiration, man
god i love love LOVE your videos!!! there are so unique and creative, its a pleasure watching them everytime. i‘m a german med student studying for my big final exam. and your videos on mental clarity, organisation and so on just keep me sane during this time xD best regards dude from germany :))
The 11-th hour thought experiment is great! Once I thought about my long term projects like "What if I had to finish them tomorrow?" Boom! Got a bunch of ideas to progress
@@struthless your book + videos have changed how I look at so much but more than that changed how I look at youtube as a “job”, making my own “wall” and implementing what you talk about into my own life, it’s all been great. You make more of an impact on people than you think man
I beg the time to go faster. I'm doing my forced two year long mandatory military service which is a stupid and cruel law in my country. and the time is not going fast enough. when i saw there is only 100 days left of this year it made me happy. the first year is almost over i only have one more to go. i will be free in jan 2026. its very sad because im being happy that my youth is passing by just because i want this torment to end. i just want to be free again. i know nobody asked for this comment and nobody cares i just wanted to vent a little. I wish i could get away from this hell and have some energy left to rebuild a part of my life again
That must be frustrating. Do you get enough free time to maybe take up a new hobby? I think I agree with Struthless in that feeling progress is motivating and enjoyable.. maybe you can do something like learn to juggle or draw in that free time. Drawing might help you to look at the things around you during your work time differently, too, as you work out what it might be like to draw them. 🙂
The being happy about youth just bypassing by because you need out the torment is very real. You are super strong man, sending you a little more of what I can. And I hope you get to chase after all that catches your heart, or simply rest and let yourself be, soon. “I can’t go on, I will go on” Samuel Beckett. None of the motivational contribution can truly ever change or make better something that you shouldn’t have to go through, but it’s how we can care is all
It’s sad your UA-cam isn’t working out as you’d like it run but god am I happy you are making these videos. They help so many people, including me and I am immensely grateful for this one too. It’s like having a big brother talk me through things and imparting knowledge that I don’t even know I need.
Damn, dude. I brought my journal out and started watching this for the second time while answering all of the prompts. I believe today's entry is my longest journal entry-- it had 4 pages! It also made me realize that even if there's less than 100 days left, I can still change, and (maybe!) reach my remaining goals for this year. Thank you for this, Cam. I hope you know that you're genuinely helping people out to change for the better.
I’ve been reading the discworld series by terry pratchett for a year or so now. I had the most profound response when reading “hogfather”. I realized my depression, and the learned helplessness I gained while imprisoned at a Mormon boarding school, was so deep I had forgotten simple truths. You speak about it in this video briefly and I’d heard the same wisdom and understood it at multiple times throughout my lif, but had lost it. For some reason I needed that book. You have to BELIEVE your life can change, you have to believe even if you have thought it impossible for your whole life. You have to believe in something that doesn’t even seem real, otherwise it can never become. Man the speech death at that point in the book is just incredible, if it’s easy to find I’m gonna post it below in case any nut job actually reads all this.
right,” said Susan. “I’m not stupid. You’re saying humans need…fantasies to make life bearable.” REALLY? AS IF IT WAS SOME KIND OF PINK PILL? NO. HUMANS NEED FANTASY TO BE HUMAN. TO BE THE PLACE WHERE THE FALLING ANGEL MEETS THE RISING APE. “Tooth fairies? Hogfathers? Little-” YES. AS PRACTICE. YOU HAVE TO START OUT LEARNING TO BELIEVE THE LITTLE LIES. “So we can believe the big ones?” YES. JUSTICE. MERCY. DUTY. THAT SORT OF THING. “They’re not the same at all!” YOU THINK SO? THEN TAKE THE UNIVERSE AND GRIND IT DOWN TO THE FINEST POWDER AND SIEVE IT THROUGH THE FINEST SIEVE AND THEN SHOW ME ONE ATOM OF JUSTICE, ONE MOLECULE OF MERCY. AND YET-Death waved a hand. AND YET YOU ACT AS IF THERE IS SOME IDEAL ORDER IN THE WORLD, AS IF THERE IS SOME…SOME RIGHTNESS IN THE UNIVERSE BY WHICH IT MAY BE JUDGED. “Yes, but people have got to believe that, or what’s the point-” MY POINT EXACTLY. She tried to assemble her thoughts. THERE IS A PLACE WHERE TWO GALAXIES HAVE BEEN COLLIDING FOR A MILLION YEARS, said Death, apropos of nothing. DON’T TRY TO TELL ME THAT’S RIGHT. “Yes, but people don’t think about that,” said Susan. “Somewhere there was a bed…” CORRECT. STARS EXPLODE, WORLDS COLLIDE, THERE’S HARDLY ANYWHERE IN THE UNIVERSE WHERE HUMANS CAN LIVE WITHOUT BEING FROZEN OR FRIED, AND YET YOU BELIEVE THAT A…A BED IS A NORMAL THING. IT IS THE MOST AMAZING TALENT. “Talent?” OH, YES. A VERY SPECIAL KIND OF STUPIDITY. YOU THINK THE WHOLE UNIVERSE IS INSIDE YOUR HEADS. “You make us sound mad,” said Susan. A nice warm bed… NO. YOU NEED TO BELIEVE IN THINGS THAT AREN’T TRUE. HOW ELSE CAN THEY BECOME? said Death
You are a gem of a human being. I love how much effort you put in making your videos connect in a really meaningful way. Thank you for always making me feel a little better after watching your content.
I think this video has given me the kick I needed. I’ve already made a change today which is to finally get the ball rolling for the next level of my accounting qualification, I’ve put it off all year. Time to get that qualification! I’ve submitted the invoice for my employer to pay, then I can get started once approved and paid, I won’t procrastinate this one big thing anymore.
I LOVE YOU AND I’M SO RPOUD OF YOU EVERY FREAKING TIME I SEE A VIDEO POSTED! You inspire me to kick perfectionism in the butt and actually do things. I have a business- I really don’t think that would have happened if I didn’t find your channel. Always rooting for you 💛💛!
This QUEST approach blew my mind! Procrastination as quicksand is so accurate. I’ve definitely been sinking for too long. The next 100 days are about to be different! Who else is ready to make some real changes
Totally agree! That ‘siren song’ of distractions gets me every time. I love the idea of setting up a ‘Ulysses pact’ to stay focused. Have you started mapping out your goals for the next 100 days yet
I’m in the same boat with distractions! I’m trying to break the habit of constantly switching between apps when I’m supposed to be focused. Small changes over time seem to be the key, but it’s tough.
@@ritabita2550 I’m trying to set clear time blocks and avoid the temptation to check my phone every five minutes. Honestly, apps that help limit distractions have been a game-changer.

Thank you for this. I will try my best to follow along to this. At 31st December I will tell you what I got done since. If you don't find this comment edited on 31st December then please do remind me. Cheers to Everyone who is reading this.
I just bought like 12 guided journals and “Your Head Is A Houseboat “. You are a light in my little world. Working at a gas station and trying to be creative is a difficult balance. You make my life easier. Thank you man, you rock.
Love the way you visualize things and make them come alive by using funny descriptions and a sense of humor. Thanks for another reminder that I can do much better than I am doing right now. So I'll be starting your challenge tomorrow... euh... today 😜
Hey campbell, i must say this is maybe the most impressively worked out video ive seen from you. the sound effects, the cuts, the choice of mini clips, and the clarity. really awesome. I realized something today. Id been questioning myself for watching your videos, cos i was like.......... is he just selling me a shovel......am i just consuming but not going anywhere. But i realise over the last year and half of watching your stuff, ive applied so much of the stuff, i completed the alphabet superset, and feel generally better about my ability to navigate my life. I realized, even if every week im not taking it all in or applying it. Its definitley had a great impact on my life and wellbeing. Thanks so much :)
It’s gotten to a point where just seeing his face in my feed makes me feel better and motivated already…I don’t even have to wait to watch the whole video (which is always so good)✨✨
Really can’t tell you how much I appreciate this content. It’s really relatable, might also help that I’m a 30 something Australian male with ADHD, kids, and trying to get my head around sobriety.
The ending of this video is so good. I have been working on UA-cam for 9 years now and I always felt like I was chasing a success. The "How would you go about your life if you knew you would fail at everything" is such a freeing thought process. You can do your best and work towards a goal of course, but there is no pressure. I have been thinking about this ever since watching and it has really changed my thought process on how I am going to come at youtube in the next 100 days. Rock on Campbell. Your videos are such a positive influence!
Thanq so much for reminding only 100 days remaining this year. I have already wasted so much time with my ADHD, and I'm just gonna turn it around from now on. U deserve flowers...take it.💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐
i’ve been watching your videos for about a year and a half now. and in that time, i have watched myself go from someone who couldn’t think up a single achievable goal or anything i was passionate about the first time i watched a struthless video, to someone who can’t wait to give the system you outlined in this video a go! i now have so much to live for and work towards, and i have benefitted from your attitude and wisdom at every stage of that journey. thank you, man! you’re a treasure.
This probably goes without saying but I love the hand drawn, paper-taped-to-paper little graphics and examples. Very simple, but somehow more fun and engaging than fancy computer graphics. Love it! :D
Thanks for taking the time to put this together. My life has slowly become a quagmire of quicksand over these past few years and I think you might be right... it's time to declare a quest and set some nebulous long-term goals and start my journey toward the near-term accomplishments. Thanks for making the graphics available, too. I wanna put that up on the wall with a calendar so I can be reminded of the big picture each time I decide on what I'm doing with my week.
Update #1: It has now been printed and framed overtop a calendar. Time to get to work. Update #2: Thought of something that's been making me unhappy about my life of late (I'm overweight) and went through the framework.. procrastinating.. what would happen in a year or two if I didn't make any changes.. Why am I not making headway today... what do I need to do to make progress... remember that progress in itself is the reward.. This is a fantastic framework. I never before would have concluded that one of the changes that I need to make is "invest in making my kitchen a fun and inviting space". Between that, exercising at least twice a week, and no video games until after dinner... life's about to change. Pretty dramatically. Tbh, kinda scared of it. I've gotten so used to living with distraction that this is gonna be really hard.. but yeah, future me on current trajectory is not a me that I want anyone to know. The time is now. Ugh, soo not excited for this. Change is scarey.
I've been really enjoying the pacing and depth of your videos personally. They're like perfectly timed synchronistic surprises, I always carve time out of my night to watch, think, learn, and grow! I'd say you're killing it in the UA-cam department, not to diminish your personal goals, definitely to diminish your inner shame voice!
Dude. Wait. The concept of 3/10 money.... and asking why it isn't 4/10. Literally genius! I can't stand my perfectionism and how much it makes me procrastinate, this method may actually work! Thanks for the new Quest, I'll be searching for self-respect (which is the real treasure, DAMN, does it feel good to make progress.)
Ahhh Cam, you’ve done it again! Another belter that makes this type of stuff so easy to understand. As a fellow perfectionist, that treasure idea is so bloody helpful!! 👏🏼
This is a video I can watch many times. Thank you for reminding me there's only 100 days left to do all my goals while constantly needed by 2 toddlers😂 Goal #1 lower my expectations and simplify so I'm not burning out 🤔
I love love love when you post, you are by far one of my fav UA-camrs. Just Real and funny. This was a great and well animated/crafted video, I can feel the hard work and thought put in. Very motivational as always!!!! Thank you!
I've been screwing up astronomically lately. Thank you for articulating some complex unconscious behaviors, and doing so in such an innovative and intriguing way. This might do me some real good in the most meaningful way.
Everytime i feel down, your videos come to me at the exact moment i need them (thanks algorithm too haha). You're such an inspiration man, I hope you're doing great! I send you some good vibes from Colombia. I know, It's crazy how far your videos have reached.
Can I never skip a video of yours. I just want to find my own people with the same energy as you. You are amazing. Do not stop! Can’t wait for the book. I got your life is a houseboat and I was so influenced. Just don’t stop! People need you❤
Your videos are actual lessons Campbell... I mean the type of lessons I listen to a several times so that I don't miss a single point and take everything in. Thank you so much!❤
4/10 for UA-cam is bananas! You may post less, but holy moly - when you do it is so valuable. You bring so much to us watchers: joy, humour and practical ways out of the soup! I’ve just been doing the Half Year Reset again as I do each year since you posted it and it is SUCH a useful tool! I know it’s not half way through the year but Sept always feels like new term, new year! 😍
i honestly can say that Struthless has improved my life and how i view life. From little things like 2 min rule (honestly life became so much less stressful) to bigger ones, like viewing my failures in a positive way. Your book is amazing as well, i really hope to get my copy signed at some point. I tend to read it every now and again, helps me settle my own thoughts. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
I've been fighting a several year long depressive episode, and this year was when I've finally started to push things that have kept me there away from me, along with starting medication and therapy. Only gathered a bit more trauma from others abuse during it but hey, I'm still alive ig? Counsellor told me most people don't have nearly as many experiences that I have at my age (21) and that medication and therapy is all the more important. Kinda always in 'survival' mode where I worry about today as if I were to die tomorrow, everyday. This is bad for goals, but good for keeping me alive for now. Anyways, your videos kinda help a bit, thanks n cheers.
I can not believe how punctual this video was for me. I'm literally sitting in my school library thinking "Wow, there's no way I'm finishing this degree"/ generally down on myself and then I see a certain author on my recommended. Lovely timing.
The UA-cam is 10/10 - I've received so many insightful philosophies and strategies from you this year in particular. You keep strategising the exact things I'm struggling with as an AuDHD craftsperson ✨
OMG you're a genius! I have gone through some 'moments' in life and never worked out the 'path'! I have just written down a "treasure map' as I relistened to this! I feel I have a blue print of something very powerful - and fricken doable, in my world! I've love the beautiful way you build a story through all the 'tools' you use. Thank you for this - I'm grateful for your passion! Clare
a small project a day. I'm working through a fabric swatch hoard. just got through a get rid of 250 items I don't need project, so I feel this year has been very productive so far. tomorrows small sewing project with swatches will be a stuffed kissing gourami. because, why not.
Another excellent video! These help me out so much. And the part about feeling progress is so real. I have a spreadsheet of all the classes I need to complete for my Engineering degree, and man, when I change the status of a course from 'in progress' to 'complete' and that little box turns green, what a feeling!! Like when cartoon characters euphorically float up into the air. Thanks for the great vids!
I feel like you're the only motivational speaker on earth who is a real person who really understands what most people struggle with, without saying "just do it! just do better!" but you meet us at our level. I'd never wish those past struggles of yours on you (or anyone else) but you really turned it around and used that hardship to be such an incredible blessing to others, so many you dont even know. God bless you and your family :)
Discovered struthless channel last week. The production on the videos is too good but only surpassed by your magnetic personality and valuable information!
You have definitely earned a higher score for UA-cam. Thank you for the downloads too. They serve as great reminders and inspiration, as a supplement to your videos.
golllyyyy you did it again. I feel like our brains work so similarly and everytime I see your pictures and charts it is just so inspiring in a way that makes me want to live life more fully and creatively instead of chasing productivity and success in meaningless ways.
whenever I watch your videos I make myself watch them again because they are so inmensely informative and well made. I love opening my feed to find a new video of yours. You are amazing bro
A big thank you for this from here in Wales (UK) to you over there in Australia. You're a genius. This was so helpful and at just the right time. Well thought out. Winsomely presented. Very clear. And above all, realistic and do-able. I think some of your videos have been the most practical and helpful stuff I have come across. Still got my notes on VOMIT journaling!
Love your videos for so long now. The algorithm kept hiding them from me but I found a way to only see the channels I follow. Rediscovered you 😅 and just ordered your book. I’m very excited. Tons of good reviews, of course ❤️
This is such a timely video for me. I've had 2 countdowns on my phone since February- my baby, who's due 8th October, and the Japanese Language Proficiency Test on 1st Dec. I also lost my job this year and so have started to dip my toe back into making art. So many goals! And now I have some tools to help me deal with them. Thanks dude
I think i found myself saying out loud, i love this stuff. I love everything about it, it scratches that annoying itch and clears the fog in such a way that I feel i can trust this. Thank you for putting in the time to create this, I love you. I hope we can meet some day. ❤
This was fantastic, thank you!! I need to rewatch and make notes asap. I've had a tough health year, but it's getting better and I feel more able to achieve my goals. This video is so motivating for me! Also, total side note, but I remember commenting probably a few years ago saying that I wasn't sure if you were saying "gotcha" or "catch ya" at the end of your videos, and since then I can hear clearly that you're saying "catch ya" and I don't know whether it's because you saw my comment or not, but it makes me really happy every time 😆
This is BRILLIANT! It feels like it’s specifically tailored to my current situation, and I couldn’t be more grateful. You’ve just made a profound change in how I see life and myself. You are amazing and inspiring! :)
I've been thinking alot lately about how addicted I have become to my phone. This video and your last one really are hitting me at the right moment. 100 days of phone jail would probably do me a lot of good and help me get my motivation back. Thanks for your content, Cam. It always encourages and educates me. I look forward to each video.
Hearing you say "I've had enough of myself" is so wild to me, that exact thought is what triggered me to get some help. It put me on the path of learning how to be someone who doesn't make my life harder. I remember six months ago sitting in a psychologist's office saying to her "I'm just so damn sick of myself". You ever watch something and its like the person is speaking directly to you? That's what watching this was!
Thanks for another awesome video! I always look forward to your content, and was pleasantly surprised to see you in my notifications today! This was very clever and well done. Love your illustrations.
Hi, 56 year old mum from Chicago. Love your content. One of my kids (25 yrs old) showed up last summer in the coolest shorts and they looked so familiar, was admiring them all day till it clicked! They were yours! Well, not literally, ha. Your design. But I'm writing to ask you to please do a video on PRINT ON DEMAND for artists. Personally, I'm looking to do fine art prints and the array of possibilities is dizzying. Also maybe coffee mugs... One of your deep dives would be so helpful. I've read a million of reviews and they all contradict each other and I don't know if it's worth it anyway... So many people could use this. In any case, you're great and provide really lovely videos. Thank you. Kate
Thanks for this, you've reignited the sense of urgency I should be feeling towards my goals in a period of my life where I think time is abundant. You have changed where I'll be 99 days from now :)
mannn, that was the video I needed today. Thank you so much for this. Been following you for a couple of years now. I appreciated your humanity, humilty and heartfeltnedness of what you communicate.
This was fantastic and it is incredible how clearly you communicate a lot of dense information. Period. And then you somehow also do it concisely. Also, I love your asterisks earrings.
these kinds of videos are the best, the way you explain so clearly and so targeting to visual learners, everything makes sense and you leave us with the something to use, I can’t explain how well your videos work in my brain man
Entertaining and informative at the same time, great job! What I have realized about myself in the meantime: When I have a motivating goal, I don't need any strategies to work on it, it just happens (keyword “flow”, as also mentioned). There's no more "tiredness" to do something, I'm wide awake, so to speak... Oh I wish I can find another goal that fulfills and motivates me...
this year really felt like 2 minutes
DUDE, seriously. I spent 12 weeks prepping for a showcase and it went by so incredibly fast. And I can't remember the beginning of this year lol
Yeah, it's like I just had a baby and she's already taking steps!😅
I swear I've had 5 minutes in class take longer than this year so far 😂
It feels like the time setting on 2024 is Speed Warp. My brain is in denial and is still in 2023
Here’s a fun little fact. Each year that passes reduces the relative fraction that a “year” represents. When you’re four years old, one year is 25% of your lifetime. When you’re 10 that percentage is reduced by 15% in that one year is 10% of your lifetime. When you’re 40 you’ve gone way in the other direction, with one year representing a measly 0.025% of your lifetime. Enjoy it while it lasts!

Step 2: decide to watch it again but now with a journal ready.

back this any video that comes out is a good video

i think he just wants to post more often/more consistently. but still, a 4?? there’s that perfectionism !
"You've got 100 days. Can you learn Esperanto and get a six-pack?"
Finally, I've been waiting for someone to tell me what my goals are.
Sometimes this is actually helpful: I had a friend say "have you thought about becoming a welder" and it gave me a goal, and I did it. I didn't make a career out of it but I've worked as one, I have welding certs in the US and Canada and I've helped build giant metal sculpture that's on display in the middle of a major (sorta) US city.

Don’t know about Esperanto but I got a six pack the other day 👍

Interesting take
That eye twitch I got from seeing perfectionism hyphenated while procrastination fit perfectly in the box... how dare you, you cheeky bugger 😂
I stand by this: Struthless is the best productivity/self improvement youtuber. Period
I decided not to use ANY screens for half a day a week lately.
It's quite amazing how much more you get done.
I hope to expand that to more moments during the week!
I wish I could do more things outside but it's way too hot
You communicate ideas so freaking well. I swear every video of yours that I've watched has blown my mind. Love it!
Agree!
You're really gonna drop this and say your youtube is 4/10? Man's not even operating at full power
The way you share ideas is so unique and concise! I always find myself wanting to get up and draw afterwards. Thanks for being an inspiration, man

I love that you're a siren song that actually helps me out of the quicksand! 🤩
lol so true- came to UA-cam to procrastinate, feel like I just got my life back
Damn, I just know that if I hear the words ‘state’, ‘strategy’ or ‘story’ this week, I’ll be singing them right back.
The 11-th hour thought experiment is great! Once I thought about my long term projects like "What if I had to finish them tomorrow?" Boom! Got a bunch of ideas to progress
god i love the editing in this one
Thank you!! I had so much fun putting this together!
@@struthless your book + videos have changed how I look at so much but more than that changed how I look at youtube as a “job”, making my own “wall” and implementing what you talk about into my own life, it’s all been great. You make more of an impact on people than you think man
I second all of this 💛🙏. Thank you!!!
I beg the time to go faster. I'm doing my forced two year long mandatory military service which is a stupid and cruel law in my country. and the time is not going fast enough. when i saw there is only 100 days left of this year it made me happy. the first year is almost over i only have one more to go. i will be free in jan 2026. its very sad because im being happy that my youth is passing by just because i want this torment to end. i just want to be free again. i know nobody asked for this comment and nobody cares i just wanted to vent a little. I wish i could get away from this hell and have some energy left to rebuild a part of my life again
What country are you from?
I wish you all the best, stay strong! You'll have your life back in no time 🙏
That must be frustrating. Do you get enough free time to maybe take up a new hobby? I think I agree with Struthless in that feeling progress is motivating and enjoyable.. maybe you can do something like learn to juggle or draw in that free time. Drawing might help you to look at the things around you during your work time differently, too, as you work out what it might be like to draw them. 🙂
I've seen a quote attributed to Winston Churchill - "If you're going through hell ... Keep going."
The being happy about youth just bypassing by because you need out the torment is very real. You are super strong man, sending you a little more of what I can. And I hope you get to chase after all that catches your heart, or simply rest and let yourself be, soon. “I can’t go on, I will go on” Samuel Beckett. None of the motivational contribution can truly ever change or make better something that you shouldn’t have to go through, but it’s how we can care is all
It’s sad your UA-cam isn’t working out as you’d like it run but god am I happy you are making these videos. They help so many people, including me and I am immensely grateful for this one too. It’s like having a big brother talk me through things and imparting knowledge that I don’t even know I need.
Damn, dude. I brought my journal out and started watching this for the second time while answering all of the prompts. I believe today's entry is my longest journal entry-- it had 4 pages! It also made me realize that even if there's less than 100 days left, I can still change, and (maybe!) reach my remaining goals for this year.
Thank you for this, Cam. I hope you know that you're genuinely helping people out to change for the better.
I’ve been reading the discworld series by terry pratchett for a year or so now. I had the most profound response when reading “hogfather”. I realized my depression, and the learned helplessness I gained while imprisoned at a Mormon boarding school, was so deep I had forgotten simple truths. You speak about it in this video briefly and I’d heard the same wisdom and understood it at multiple times throughout my lif, but had lost it. For some reason I needed that book.
You have to BELIEVE your life can change, you have to believe even if you have thought it impossible for your whole life. You have to believe in something that doesn’t even seem real, otherwise it can never become. Man the speech death at that point in the book is just incredible, if it’s easy to find I’m gonna post it below in case any nut job actually reads all this.
right,” said Susan. “I’m not stupid. You’re saying humans need…fantasies to make life bearable.”
REALLY? AS IF IT WAS SOME KIND OF PINK PILL? NO. HUMANS NEED FANTASY TO BE HUMAN. TO BE THE PLACE WHERE THE FALLING ANGEL MEETS THE RISING APE.
“Tooth fairies? Hogfathers? Little-”
YES. AS PRACTICE. YOU HAVE TO START OUT LEARNING TO BELIEVE THE LITTLE LIES.
“So we can believe the big ones?”
YES. JUSTICE. MERCY. DUTY. THAT SORT OF THING.
“They’re not the same at all!”
YOU THINK SO? THEN TAKE THE UNIVERSE AND GRIND IT DOWN TO THE FINEST POWDER AND SIEVE IT THROUGH THE FINEST SIEVE AND THEN SHOW ME ONE ATOM OF JUSTICE, ONE MOLECULE OF MERCY. AND YET-Death waved a hand. AND YET YOU ACT AS IF THERE IS SOME IDEAL ORDER IN THE WORLD, AS IF THERE IS SOME…SOME RIGHTNESS IN THE UNIVERSE BY WHICH IT MAY BE JUDGED.
“Yes, but people have got to believe that, or what’s the point-”
MY POINT EXACTLY.
She tried to assemble her thoughts.
THERE IS A PLACE WHERE TWO GALAXIES HAVE BEEN COLLIDING FOR A MILLION YEARS, said Death, apropos of nothing. DON’T TRY TO TELL ME THAT’S RIGHT.
“Yes, but people don’t think about that,” said Susan. “Somewhere there was a bed…”
CORRECT. STARS EXPLODE, WORLDS COLLIDE, THERE’S HARDLY ANYWHERE IN THE UNIVERSE WHERE HUMANS CAN LIVE WITHOUT BEING FROZEN OR FRIED, AND YET YOU BELIEVE THAT A…A BED IS A NORMAL THING. IT IS THE MOST AMAZING TALENT.
“Talent?”
OH, YES. A VERY SPECIAL KIND OF STUPIDITY. YOU THINK THE WHOLE UNIVERSE IS INSIDE YOUR HEADS.
“You make us sound mad,” said Susan. A nice warm bed…
NO. YOU NEED TO BELIEVE IN THINGS THAT AREN’T TRUE. HOW ELSE CAN THEY BECOME? said Death
You are a gem of a human being. I love how much effort you put in making your videos connect in a really meaningful way. Thank you for always making me feel a little better after watching your content.
The QUEST acronym is too clever!
I think this video has given me the kick I needed. I’ve already made a change today which is to finally get the ball rolling for the next level of my accounting qualification, I’ve put it off all year. Time to get that qualification! I’ve submitted the invoice for my employer to pay, then I can get started once approved and paid, I won’t procrastinate this one big thing anymore.
I LOVE YOU AND I’M SO RPOUD OF YOU EVERY FREAKING TIME I SEE A VIDEO POSTED! You inspire me to kick perfectionism in the butt and actually do things. I have a business- I really don’t think that would have happened if I didn’t find your channel. Always rooting for you 💛💛!
This QUEST approach blew my mind! Procrastination as quicksand is so accurate. I’ve definitely been sinking for too long. The next 100 days are about to be different! Who else is ready to make some real changes
Totally agree! That ‘siren song’ of distractions gets me every time. I love the idea of setting up a ‘Ulysses pact’ to stay focused. Have you started mapping out your goals for the next 100 days yet
I’m in the same boat with distractions! I’m trying to break the habit of constantly switching between apps when I’m supposed to be focused. Small changes over time seem to be the key, but it’s tough.
@@ritabita2550 I’m trying to set clear time blocks and avoid the temptation to check my phone every five minutes. Honestly, apps that help limit distractions have been a game-changer.

Thank you for this. I will try my best to follow along to this. At 31st December I will tell you what I got done since. If you don't find this comment edited on 31st December then please do remind me. Cheers to Everyone who is reading this.
The most optimal way to watch your vids is with a pen and a notebook out. Intentionality is everything.
I just bought like 12 guided journals and “Your Head Is A Houseboat “. You are a light in my little world. Working at a gas station and trying to be creative is a difficult balance. You make my life easier. Thank you man, you rock.
Love the way you visualize things and make them come alive by using funny descriptions and a sense of humor. Thanks for another reminder that I can do much better than I am doing right now. So I'll be starting your challenge tomorrow... euh... today 😜
Hey campbell, i must say this is maybe the most impressively worked out video ive seen from you.
the sound effects, the cuts, the choice of mini clips, and the clarity.
really awesome.
I realized something today. Id been questioning myself for watching your videos, cos i was like.......... is he just selling me a shovel......am i just consuming but not going anywhere.
But i realise over the last year and half of watching your stuff, ive applied so much of the stuff, i completed the alphabet superset, and feel generally better about my ability to navigate my life.
I realized, even if every week im not taking it all in or applying it. Its definitley had a great impact on my life and wellbeing.
Thanks so much :)
When I saw your 3/10 for money, I thought "wha? this guy is brilliant!" so I decided to join your membership. And I've only seen 4 of your videos. 😍
Damn! Thank you - that is actually so sweet of ya - really means a lot ❤
It’s gotten to a point where just seeing his face in my feed makes me feel better and motivated already…I don’t even have to wait to watch the whole video (which is always so good)✨✨
Really can’t tell you how much I appreciate this content. It’s really relatable, might also help that I’m a 30 something Australian male with ADHD, kids, and trying to get my head around sobriety.
The ending of this video is so good. I have been working on UA-cam for 9 years now and I always felt like I was chasing a success. The "How would you go about your life if you knew you would fail at everything" is such a freeing thought process. You can do your best and work towards a goal of course, but there is no pressure. I have been thinking about this ever since watching and it has really changed my thought process on how I am going to come at youtube in the next 100 days. Rock on Campbell. Your videos are such a positive influence!
Thank you, Cam for everything you've done. You're a beautiful human and I'm so grateful you exist. Love you, Papá. 🖤
Never comment on things but this is maybe the best video I’ve ever seen! Keep up the great work, wishing you all the best 🐐
Thanq so much for reminding only 100 days remaining this year. I have already wasted so much time with my ADHD, and I'm just gonna turn it around from now on.
U deserve flowers...take it.💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐
i’ve been watching your videos for about a year and a half now. and in that time, i have watched myself go from someone who couldn’t think up a single achievable goal or anything i was passionate about the first time i watched a struthless video, to someone who can’t wait to give the system you outlined in this video a go! i now have so much to live for and work towards, and i have benefitted from your attitude and wisdom at every stage of that journey. thank you, man! you’re a treasure.
This probably goes without saying but I love the hand drawn, paper-taped-to-paper little graphics and examples. Very simple, but somehow more fun and engaging than fancy computer graphics. Love it! :D
Thanks for taking the time to put this together. My life has slowly become a quagmire of quicksand over these past few years and I think you might be right... it's time to declare a quest and set some nebulous long-term goals and start my journey toward the near-term accomplishments.
Thanks for making the graphics available, too. I wanna put that up on the wall with a calendar so I can be reminded of the big picture each time I decide on what I'm doing with my week.
Update #1: It has now been printed and framed overtop a calendar. Time to get to work.
Update #2: Thought of something that's been making me unhappy about my life of late (I'm overweight) and went through the framework.. procrastinating.. what would happen in a year or two if I didn't make any changes.. Why am I not making headway today... what do I need to do to make progress... remember that progress in itself is the reward.. This is a fantastic framework. I never before would have concluded that one of the changes that I need to make is "invest in making my kitchen a fun and inviting space". Between that, exercising at least twice a week, and no video games until after dinner... life's about to change. Pretty dramatically. Tbh, kinda scared of it. I've gotten so used to living with distraction that this is gonna be really hard.. but yeah, future me on current trajectory is not a me that I want anyone to know. The time is now.
Ugh, soo not excited for this. Change is scarey.
I've been really enjoying the pacing and depth of your videos personally. They're like perfectly timed synchronistic surprises, I always carve time out of my night to watch, think, learn, and grow! I'd say you're killing it in the UA-cam department, not to diminish your personal goals, definitely to diminish your inner shame voice!
I’m all in on these whiteboard style videos
Dude. Wait. The concept of 3/10 money.... and asking why it isn't 4/10. Literally genius! I can't stand my perfectionism and how much it makes me procrastinate, this method may actually work! Thanks for the new Quest, I'll be searching for self-respect (which is the real treasure, DAMN, does it feel good to make progress.)
Ahhh Cam, you’ve done it again!
Another belter that makes this type of stuff so easy to understand. As a fellow perfectionist, that treasure idea is so bloody helpful!! 👏🏼
The only significant thing I completed this year (weaving a Kākahu feather cloak) was directly an outcome of your AI shaming tool! Go you!
What AI shaming tool?/
This is a video I can watch many times. Thank you for reminding me there's only 100 days left to do all my goals while constantly needed by 2 toddlers😂
Goal #1 lower my expectations and simplify so I'm not burning out 🤔
I love love love when you post, you are by far one of my fav UA-camrs. Just Real and funny. This was a great and well animated/crafted video, I can feel the hard work and thought put in.
Very motivational as always!!!! Thank you!
I've been screwing up astronomically lately. Thank you for articulating some complex unconscious behaviors, and doing so in such an innovative and intriguing way. This might do me some real good in the most meaningful way.
Every video is gold. Thank you!
just got your book and now this video pops up! Definitely going to spend some time thinking about my quests for the next 100 days
4:26 "you failed AND its your fault!" Inspirational as always Strooth. Thats what im here for
Everytime i feel down, your videos come to me at the exact moment i need them (thanks algorithm too haha). You're such an inspiration man, I hope you're doing great! I send you some good vibes from Colombia. I know, It's crazy how far your videos have reached.
Can I never skip a video of yours. I just want to find my own people with the same energy as you. You are amazing. Do not stop! Can’t wait for the book. I got your life is a houseboat and I was so influenced. Just don’t stop! People need you❤
Your videos are actual lessons Campbell... I mean the type of lessons I listen to a several times so that I don't miss a single point and take everything in. Thank you so much!❤
4/10 for UA-cam is bananas! You may post less, but holy moly - when you do it is so valuable. You bring so much to us watchers: joy, humour and practical ways out of the soup! I’ve just been doing the Half Year Reset again as I do each year since you posted it and it is SUCH a useful tool! I know it’s not half way through the year but Sept always feels like new term, new year! 😍
i honestly can say that Struthless has improved my life and how i view life. From little things like 2 min rule (honestly life became so much less stressful) to bigger ones, like viewing my failures in a positive way. Your book is amazing as well, i really hope to get my copy signed at some point. I tend to read it every now and again, helps me settle my own thoughts.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
I've been fighting a several year long depressive episode, and this year was when I've finally started to push things that have kept me there away from me, along with starting medication and therapy. Only gathered a bit more trauma from others abuse during it but hey, I'm still alive ig?
Counsellor told me most people don't have nearly as many experiences that I have at my age (21) and that medication and therapy is all the more important.
Kinda always in 'survival' mode where I worry about today as if I were to die tomorrow, everyday. This is bad for goals, but good for keeping me alive for now.
Anyways, your videos kinda help a bit, thanks n cheers.
I can not believe how punctual this video was for me. I'm literally sitting in my school library thinking "Wow, there's no way I'm finishing this degree"/ generally down on myself and then I see a certain author on my recommended. Lovely timing.
The UA-cam is 10/10 - I've received so many insightful philosophies and strategies from you this year in particular. You keep strategising the exact things I'm struggling with as an AuDHD craftsperson ✨
I am 10 pages away from the end of Your Head is a Houseboat and now this video pops up! My day keeps getting better and better!
So you don't enjoy the book?
@@caddieohm7059 I enjoy it very much
OMG you're a genius! I have gone through some 'moments' in life and never worked out the 'path'! I have just written down a "treasure map' as I relistened to this! I feel I have a blue print of something very powerful - and fricken doable, in my world! I've love the beautiful way you build a story through all the 'tools' you use. Thank you for this - I'm grateful for your passion! Clare
Saw it in the bath tub. Immediately took action. Wrote my first article on Medium on Starting to Create something (+posting it) for 100 Days! 🎉
Yes! So original, cheeky, and relatable. Loved the "Quest" reveal! 🙌🥰
a small project a day. I'm working through a fabric swatch hoard. just got through a get rid of 250 items I don't need project, so I feel this year has been very productive so far. tomorrows small sewing project with swatches will be a stuffed kissing gourami. because, why not.
Another excellent video! These help me out so much. And the part about feeling progress is so real. I have a spreadsheet of all the classes I need to complete for my Engineering degree, and man, when I change the status of a course from 'in progress' to 'complete' and that little box turns green, what a feeling!! Like when cartoon characters euphorically float up into the air. Thanks for the great vids!
Love the metaphor, self improvement video could become repetitive but you put some twist make em new again n more engaging
I feel like you're the only motivational speaker on earth who is a real person who really understands what most people struggle with, without saying "just do it! just do better!" but you meet us at our level. I'd never wish those past struggles of yours on you (or anyone else) but you really turned it around and used that hardship to be such an incredible blessing to others, so many you dont even know. God bless you and your family :)
Discovered struthless channel last week. The production on the videos is too good but only surpassed by your magnetic personality and valuable information!
You have definitely earned a higher score for UA-cam. Thank you for the downloads too. They serve as great reminders and inspiration, as a supplement to your videos.
golllyyyy you did it again. I feel like our brains work so similarly and everytime I see your pictures and charts it is just so inspiring in a way that makes me want to live life more fully and creatively instead of chasing productivity and success in meaningless ways.
whenever I watch your videos I make myself watch them again because they are so inmensely informative and well made. I love opening my feed to find a new video of yours. You are amazing bro
A big thank you for this from here in Wales (UK) to you over there in Australia. You're a genius. This was so helpful and at just the right time. Well thought out. Winsomely presented. Very clear. And above all, realistic and do-able. I think some of your videos have been the most practical and helpful stuff I have come across. Still got my notes on VOMIT journaling!
Thank you - I needed this today. Also "gotcha! your life is better now!" made me chuckle twice.
Love your videos for so long now. The algorithm kept hiding them from me but I found a way to only see the channels I follow. Rediscovered you 😅 and just ordered your book. I’m very excited. Tons of good reviews, of course ❤️
I just shared this with like 30 of my contacts, people with ambition, people I haven't spoken to in YEARS. This video is gold. Thanks for that
Love the QUEST framework ❤ I think you really know your audience
This is such a timely video for me. I've had 2 countdowns on my phone since February- my baby, who's due 8th October, and the Japanese Language Proficiency Test on 1st Dec. I also lost my job this year and so have started to dip my toe back into making art. So many goals! And now I have some tools to help me deal with them. Thanks dude
I think i found myself saying out loud, i love this stuff. I love everything about it, it scratches that annoying itch and clears the fog in such a way that I feel i can trust this. Thank you for putting in the time to create this, I love you. I hope we can meet some day. ❤
I love your illustrated notes !!! They feel like the perfect balance of messy/spontaneous/fun and organized
Dude SO glad i clicked on this, you put so much thought into the audience chosen topic. Fr this was sick
This was fantastic, thank you!! I need to rewatch and make notes asap. I've had a tough health year, but it's getting better and I feel more able to achieve my goals. This video is so motivating for me!
Also, total side note, but I remember commenting probably a few years ago saying that I wasn't sure if you were saying "gotcha" or "catch ya" at the end of your videos, and since then I can hear clearly that you're saying "catch ya" and I don't know whether it's because you saw my comment or not, but it makes me really happy every time 😆
The QUEST acronym is quite creative and a bolt of brilliance. Thanks for the awesome visual guide and it's free! Cheers to 100 days and counting down
This is BRILLIANT! It feels like it’s specifically tailored to my current situation, and I couldn’t be more grateful. You’ve just made a profound change in how I see life and myself. You are amazing and inspiring! :)
That was fantastic. Thank you so much❣️
I've been thinking alot lately about how addicted I have become to my phone. This video and your last one really are hitting me at the right moment. 100 days of phone jail would probably do me a lot of good and help me get my motivation back. Thanks for your content, Cam. It always encourages and educates me. I look forward to each video.
Hearing you say "I've had enough of myself" is so wild to me, that exact thought is what triggered me to get some help. It put me on the path of learning how to be someone who doesn't make my life harder. I remember six months ago sitting in a psychologist's office saying to her "I'm just so damn sick of myself". You ever watch something and its like the person is speaking directly to you? That's what watching this was!
Thanks for another awesome video! I always look forward to your content, and was pleasantly surprised to see you in my notifications today! This was very clever and well done. Love your illustrations.
Guidance in a style that is right up my alley. Thanks for helping us make sense of the practical side of having the best life we can.
Great video!! I like the way you present information!! I'm glad you love being a dad.
Hi, 56 year old mum from Chicago. Love your content. One of my kids (25 yrs old) showed up last summer in the coolest shorts and they looked so familiar, was admiring them all day till it clicked! They were yours! Well, not literally, ha. Your design. But I'm writing to ask you to please do a video on PRINT ON DEMAND for artists. Personally, I'm looking to do fine art prints and the array of possibilities is dizzying. Also maybe coffee mugs... One of your deep dives would be so helpful. I've read a million of reviews and they all contradict each other and I don't know if it's worth it anyway... So many people could use this. In any case, you're great and provide really lovely videos. Thank you. Kate
Thanks for this, you've reignited the sense of urgency I should be feeling towards my goals in a period of my life where I think time is abundant. You have changed where I'll be 99 days from now :)
I actually needed this so much right now
Cam, I BLOODY love you.. Feel like I have already started this QUEST, but its great to have a visual guide.. 100 dayzzzzz baby!
mannn, that was the video I needed today.
Thank you so much for this.
Been following you for a couple of years now. I appreciated your humanity, humilty and heartfeltnedness of what you communicate.
This was fantastic and it is incredible how clearly you communicate a lot of dense information. Period. And then you somehow also do it concisely. Also, I love your asterisks earrings.
This really gave me the clarity that I needed, thank you so much!! Have an amazing 100 days of QUEST to everyone, you've got this
Man I love your hand drawn charts. Makes progress feel so exciting!
these kinds of videos are the best, the way you explain so clearly and so targeting to visual learners, everything makes sense and you leave us with the something to use, I can’t explain how well your videos work in my brain man
can u please never retire dude, you have no idea how you are helping me live my life. Thank you Cammmmm!!!!!! Forever!
Congratulations! One million subscribers!
Entertaining and informative at the same time, great job! What I have realized about myself in the meantime: When I have a motivating goal, I don't need any strategies to work on it, it just happens (keyword “flow”, as also mentioned). There's no more "tiredness" to do something, I'm wide awake, so to speak... Oh I wish I can find another goal that fulfills and motivates me...
