The single biggest impact daily habit in my life has been to do something nice for Future Me. It can be something big (ticking another to do list item off a day or two early), it can be something small (setting out the supplies I need for the next day's work), it can be tailored to however much energy I have at the time and I always find it easy to do because I want Future Me to have a nice tomorrow. Framing it as a favour to "someone else" seems to be the magic ingredient. You start looking for ways to be nice to yourself, which is v wholesome 10/10 do recommend

Recently my rule has been: don’t go to bed with dishes in the sink. It’s small. Typically takes 5 minutes to do. And the joy of waking up in the morning with an empty sink is just so wonderful. 10/10

Love these, a habit I started after noticing I usually looked at myself in mirrors with a straight, neutral or even judgmental face, was to smile at myself when I saw me, as I would naturally do to a friend or someone I love, especially in the morning. It reinforced the idea that I was, in fact, someone I love! Such a small shift, but made a big difference

THIS video is EXACTLY why I love your content so much. The way you bring a candid and unconventional approach to trite, cliche topics is so refreshing in this oversaturated self-help space, forever a fan of what you do :)

My go to weird habit that I've always done is to do at least one bizarre thing a day physically. Could be making some weird noises, could be getting into a character, could just be contorting my body and walking around like a gremlin. It's been the cornerstone of my happiness, It keeps me in touch with my inner child, It helps me not take myself to seriously, and its like a micro-drum circle for my spirit once a day. The biggest bonus is that once you get good at It, you can use It to make other people laugh and smile. It helps other people let their guard down and grow closer to you because they're never worried about whether you think you are too cool for them or that they have to act carefully so that you won't judge them. It's only grown more important to me as the pressures of adult hood threaten to eliminate my sense of humor and awareness that I'm just a goofy hairless bi-pedal creature.

Before doing habits that generally aren't 'fun' while you're doing them (think exercise, doing the dishes, leaving for work, etc.), I use to focus on and visualize the discomfort or pain associated with that task - "this workout is going to be so tiring", "my hands are gonna get gross when I touch the food on my dishes", "work is going to be so boring today". Instead, I've started to focus on the positives associated with those tasks, and visualize the soon to be harvested fruits of my labour - "I'm gonna be so strong if I continue my workout routine", "I love it when my kitchen is clean", "Can't wait to see Harold at work today, that dudes a gem". By focusing on the positives around the tasks I generally viewed as difficult or uncomfortable, I started to change my mindset about starting those tasks. All of a sudden, I was getting dopamine hits from the anticipation of these tasks as I visualized the beneficial and desired outcomes of my efforts! No longer was I thinking, "I HAVE to do this task", but rather, "I GET to do this task". Sometimes all it takes is a shift in perspective to make things more enjoyable :)

I just wanted to pop in and say thank you. I lost my husband two months ago, after a two and a half year battle with cancer. It wasn't something we were prepared for, we had thought he had more time but his cancer had other plans. Now I am taking care of our two special needs boys, the oldest of whom is disabled, all on my own. I've been sinking into a pit of despair and depression under the pressure/ chaos and finding it increasingly difficult to hold true to promises I made my husband. Promises to stop procrastinating my dreams and to start creating art again. To stop being afraid to fail and to live. Then I found the video you made about finishing projects. And every day, sometimes a few times a day, I would find another video in your list and lights started coming on in my heart and mind. In the last week, through your tricks and content, I've been adapting ways to combat and quiet my anxiety and claw my way out of this pit. I've had breakthroughs that I have been struggling to made for years and it's due to the perspective you offer on your channel and the unique delivery method. So, thank you! I appreciate your content and look forward to seeing more. As for this video, I will be starting the gratitude showers, the two to do lists, the photographing sentimental items and the how is this the best thing to happen to me habits. My house is usually filled with music of one form or the other, as well as candles. I love cedar wick candles. They are wonderful. I've been doing the better plate to the guest for quite a while and love it. And live off the two minute rule, sometimes it's the only way I get anything done. Again, thank you so much for your content! You're awesome!

random but good habits: 1) you're not finished an activity until you've tidied up 2) stand up your sponge and hang your dishcloth up 3) having 'mini rituals' for everyday tasks reduces cognitive load. do things in the same order each time (eg. night routine, shower routine, cooking routine, work routine, etc.) 4) have a list of people to keep in touch with so you don't forget anyone. specify an appropriate frequency to contact each person. 5) keep splitting a task into smaller tasks until the first one feels manageable, even if it wouldn't conventionally be seen as a task, eg. check calendar, or get vacuum cleaner. 6) make good use of your freezer 7)if you don't want to do something, journal about it to figure out what is stopping you 8) when making a financial decision, always run the numbers for your individual situation. no general guide will ever be perfect for your situation. eg. should I buy or rent a tool? 9)... but don't automatically feel bad for buying stuff. it might save you money overall, or it might save you time and time is money

THE FIRST TIP IS SOMETHING IVE DONE FOREVER. I feel so happy giving someone that secret unconscious happiness of having the bigger, yummier and more quality plate of food.

When I was going through a rough patch I'd start my day either journaling or thinking of the answer to "What am I afraid of today?" Then I'd find myself debunking all my irrational fears and start my day a bit more centred and in control. When the fears would show up again through the day, I had already figured out their cause and their solution in the morning so it reduced stress. Hope this may help anyone!

My biggest habit (that is more of a motto that i continue to remind myself) is: Doing some of it is better than doing none of it. It helped through the biggest bouts of my depression, and when I don't feel like doing anything-even in regards to the 2 minute rule (which i try to live by) it motivates me enough

My favorite habit is Art Before Dishes. What it means is that I put art first in my day (after breakfast). Art is big, endless and scary, but I have to work on it in some way for some amount of time, before any other task list thing that is easy to accomplish, easy to tick off as complete and requires no fighting resistance. I can do the dishes with my 3pm brain, but my bright 9am brain is sacred and must face the art. Though I'm not sure if this is compatible with the 2 min rule and the minimum requirement, it helps me feel like I'm always working on the big dream. No one gets a prize for a tidy home.

i definetly started doing the "how is the best thing that has ever happened to me" one. last year i had to drop out of my master's degree because of my mental health and i ended up volunteering in poland, i gained experience and now im back to my master's and today i finished my internship, something that a year ago seemed impossible to do

I do the 2 minute rule. It really does help with clutter and anxiety. Also, as you walk around your house, add the habit of looking for things that need to go to the same room in which you are headed, like a cup or blanket.

I divide my to do list in three parts: "Appointments" (for everything that needs to happen at a fixed time, whether it is a video conference, a medical appointment or meeting a friend), "to do" and "want to do". I started the "want to do" list because I realized that I focus too much on what I have to do and too little on what I actually want to spend my time with. "want to do" is for everything from doing a small step towards a longterm goal, spending time on a hobby project, scheduling an hour to read a book I enjoy or going for a walk, or doing one of those tasks that otherwise get pushed to the bottom of the to do list because they are not urgent. When depression hits really hard, I put a few ridiculoulsy little tasks on my to do list that even the most depressed version of me can accomplish, like "go outside for 10 minutes", "take a shower" or "cut fingernails". It feels really good and gives me a sense of having accomplished something when I tick off an item of my to do list - even if it's just cutting my fingernails or taking a shower. Plus, it keeps me from procrastinating on these things, which I often do when I'm really deep down in depression.

Honestly refreshing to see someone get straight to the point no clickbait

Thanks everyone for watching and for your lovely comments!! Genuinely love reading them. (Edited to remove the vote link: thanks everyone who voted for my book!!)

Some of the habits that have helped me: 1. Picking out my clothes the night before and setting out my gym clothes. 2. Listening to audiobooks in the car. 3. Journaling during my lunch break. 4. Doing air squats whenever I'm waiting for something in the microwave or pushups during TV commercials. 5. Only snacking on fruit or nuts. 6. No caffeine or high carbs after lunch. 7. Celebrating/acknowledging little victories (after a workout, when I say no to sweets, etc.) 8. Reading or writing for 30 minutes before bedtime. (No electronics) 9. Feeding the nurturing voice in my head and starving my inner critic. (Counseling myself, outsmarting my inner critic)

A habit that helps me a lot is that I write everything I want to do in a day on my to-do list, not just the work-related or tedious tasks. By also writing fun things on it, the to-do list isn’t this awful, hard thing weighing me down anymore but just a neutral list of stuff I wanna do

Over 2020 and 2021 this channel became one of my favorites. So proud and stoked that your book and animation studio are popping off.

I love this channel, it's obvious this is lived advice and not something everyone learns from reading a mass market self-help book

Great list. Similar to the two minute rule I have a "if you touch it now you have to put it away" e.g. the amount of times I was moving my jacket from one chair to the table then to the bench, then to another chair instead of just hanging it up. Or random pile of pens and paper clips around the house instead of just putting it in the stationary drawer. Helps with kids too! Once you touch it, you gotta move it to where it belongs! Takes less than 30 seconds 90% of the time !

My mom was a hoarder, and then when I ran away at 18 and became homeless for like 6 years, adjusting to NOT holding on to everything has been very hard. I never learned how to organize, and always wanted to hold onto things, especially essentials (or things I deem essential, anyways). It’s a journey, but I’m walking the path and slowly de cluttering corners of my house, and the progress, however small, is still active improvement. I may never have that sleek and modern look in my home, but i have goals that im getting closer to, so I can go to bed (with a small pile of clothes inevitably sitting at the foot of my bed) feeling good about myself.

Here's my habit: Every night when I get in bed with my husband and we're just lying there talking before we go to sleep, I think about how there is nothing else I'd rather be doing and nowhere else I'd rather be. That habit has triggered me to acknowledge that same feeling when it happens in other situations, and I'm surprised how often it crops up. Having a great laugh with a friend, eating something super delicious, even being there to comfort someone I love when they're hurting. It has made me appreciate the day-to-day magic of gratitude.

The 2-minute rule is like my 'just do 10 things' procrastination shifter: do the next thing that's to hand, like take a dirty plate to the kitchen, hang up a coat, take the rubbish out, etc... things that demand no problem-solving and can be accomplished fast. By the end of the 10 things, the wheels are starting to turn and some of the to-dos are done, making it easier to just continue. I've heard about another strategy for tackling a big chore, which involves just cleaning three metres around you. When that's done, you clean the next three metres and so it goes on until the house is clean. Congratulations on getting so far in the Booktopia competition! I bought your book the other day, actually, so it was nice to be able vote for it.

First of all, thank you ! Another habit I have, and have enforced in this video, is: The moment I learn something new, I try to explain it out loud as if I'm doing so for somebody who knows nothing about it, also, writing it down as well also helps. Doing that forces you to think about the information, and also often reveals what piece of the puzzle you lack, making you an expert and much smarter.

The idea of photographing something before you throw it out seems to be really powerful. I struggle to declutter things as I get emotionally attached to them, but I know that I don't use them anymore. Perhaps, this is what I need to finally take better control over this in my life.

"Self-development" videos are here to remind of us what we already know and guilt us into doing those things. This video... was genuinely helpful.

Definitely do habit #4, I've recently left my job and am home all the time with my partner and he constantly cracks "how do you not fall asleep", but he never suggests turning off the chill lofi and putting the scented candles out. I think he secretly appreciates the Zen chill space I'm building 😊

Yes! I totally practiced habit #2 today; I had a pile of old painting rags that were sentimental to me. They reminded me of the decade long journey I have been on with painting, but they have become unusable and stiff (and maybe a little stinky with old turp). I kept them around because they reminded me of how hard I’ve worked and how many paintings I’ve made to get here. I decided it was time to clear them out of my studio so I took some pictures of them and sent them to the bin. I can personally confirm this is great advice. 👏🏻

One of my weird habits as a non-traditional university student (I took 4 gap years and I'm in my second year at 25) is buy the cute/cool thing regardless of price. My best examples are drinking water and writing papers. For drinking more water, get the pretty water bottle, put stickers on it, etc. You are more likely to use it and actually stay hydrated if you like looking at it. For writing papers, I bought myself a fancy pink (in hindsight I should have gotten blue but I was way to excited when I found the pink) typewriter style key board that lights up. So now when I am slaving away on assignments and papers and my own personal creative writing I get the satisfying sound of a typewriter and its really pretty. Live your life for the aesthetic and to take if one step further romanticize your life.

There's an interesting point about that first habit, when you always give the guest the better plate, this can also come back to viewing yourself as having low self worth. It's a similar reason people take better care of their family and pets than they do themselves, because they believe they don't deserve to be taken care of. People often "forget" to take their own medication, but this is very rare for those same people's pets. I'm not saying this is a bad habit that will destroy your self image, because I totally see the benefits of it, but I can also see how it relates to the unhealthy habit of viewing yourself as not deserving as good a treatment as everyone else.

One of my biggest ones has been watching your “questions that changed my life” video on a regular basis and journaling on them on a regular basis. Really puts stuff into perspective and helps cover bases with the responsibility bit.

you're awesome. i do a lot of your things. one weird one for me is that when i experience physical pain from an accident, i yell out yes and go accepting and deep into the minor pain. has resonated through different areas of my life. also dancing to music that i hate has done wonders.

Awesome video. Love the 2 to-do lists idea! My similar hack: in photography, it’s common to dump you entire memory card on the computer, but you typically only end up using a small % of the photos while all the blurry/bad/test shots clutter your hard drive. I go through each photo one by one ON IMPORT, so I know each shot that makes it onto my computer is halfway decent. This uses less computer resources and keeps my photos more organized. In everyday life you can ask yourself, “where am I dealing with waste?” And then, “what would it look like if it were easy?” to come up with a solution. For example, when you check your mailbox, probably only a small % of letters are important; most are junk. Instead of bringing the whole stack in and letting it sit on your kitchen table for a few days, perhaps you have a recycling bin near your mailbox and only bring any important mail into the house. Separately, I recently started folding clothes like Marie Kondo and it’s amazing how much space you get back!

Habit 1 is my mother's natural mode of functioning and she's the nicest person ever. About time I do it too. Thank you for these unique takes on self improvement. Your videos are incredibly cool

Great list! Making my home cozy and “sanctuary “ has been a big game changer. My cat also helps me stay on track because she has a schedule and of course taking naps with a purring cat is so healing. Love the pups! Animals really make life awesome!

I also have a "stupid" but efficient unconventional habit, it's become a kind of quick meditation fix for my anxious, rumaging self : I learned that trick from a video on youtube and it's just nuts. I think it was about treating PTSD in unconventional ways without re-living the trauma. I'll try to paraphrase it accurately: What helps humans put things past them is most often a walk, a very long walk. But it has almost nothing to do with the fact that you are walking! It works because when you walk outside, you look left and right to gaze at your environment because you need to be in the present moment, in case anything happens in your surroundings. Our basic human programming, in short. Researchers have proven that, while being still, if you move only your eyes sideways, you can trick your brain into believing you are walking. So when you're hit with unpleasant thoughts, anxiety attacks, or PTSD flashbacks, you can just do that : sit still, but move only your eyes around. A few minutes do the trick! It's personaly been a game changer :) and I hope it helps out more people!

always a real pleasure when there's a new struthless video. "How is this the best thing that has ever happened to me?" really just changed the whole story of my last two weeks

I love the decluttering idea with pictures! It never crossed my mind to do that but now I'm super motivated for the attic cleanup what I've been procrastinated for sooo long ☺ Thank you!

I love the way you say, when creating the to-do lists, what is the bare minimum I need to get done "in order to not create stress for future me"? I've heard so many people talk about creating a bare minimum to-do list but I always felt like even if I'd complete them I still hadn't accomplished anything. In pondering the way you frame this list, it makes me think, ok, if I want to ensure I'm not creating stress for future me, first I need to identify what stresses future me out the most. Turns out that is financial and health issues, not whether or not I've dusted the counters or scrubbed the sink. So if I only have an hour today to do something to make life less stressful for future me, I should use it to pick up an extra hour at work or go for a walk and get some exercise. Excellent video, as always!

this is maybe the third video of yours I have watched and I just wanted to let you know how grateful I am for your content. I'm currently trying to change my habits and get sober from multiple crutches and your content is really helping me find some clarity. Thanks!

I find myself saving your videos to watch later, but it is quickly becoming your entire library. Thanks so much for creating this channel. You are a true life saver!

This video is gold for so many reasons. I laughed, I learned and I was called out. I’ve never been called out on the fact that I give my husband the less appealing plate of dinner every damn day. My god I’m a horrible person. I’ll change that one starting tonight. Lol Loved the video! Thank you!

I just finished your book last night! I love that I found your channel - it’s been very inspiring ❤️ you’ve really put things in perspective and I’m starting to journal with intention so thank you for that (and maybe more books in the future???🤞🏼)

Honestly the two minute rule resonates with me so much.. I first came across it from your channel and since then have been using it daily, and can truly say it is changing how I get things done and cope with life. On my "best me" days, it becomes the five minute rule, and on my "worst me" days it becomes the one minute rule - but still leads to getting s**t done... game changer my dude.

I have severe anxiety issues coupled with depression and I've slowly gathered some tools (over the years) to make it easier on myself when the anxiety takes hold and panic attacks are a thing. Seriously, not being in control of your body's reaction but fully aware mentally that it's not a big deal this thing you're hyperventilating about? Not fun! The "how is this the best thing that happened to me" I watched in one of your other videos (one of which helped me to start journaling) and it has literally changed my life. It's like learning a new tool to hack your own brain and it's like magic. And writing it down helps me to go back to it later! I never thought of it before, so thank you so much for sharing!! Your channel is crazy inspirational for me!

The two to-do lists is a game changer! So self compassionate and practical 💕

Your videos have been a big blessing for me and one of my friends. You're realistic and know that people have limits and help us to be better and feel better. Thank you so much for help me change my life. I'm just a 18 (almost 19) yo who wants to get her life back on track and you've been a huge inspiration for that. Keep doing these videos cause they are amazing!

Great list! One habit that changed my life was learning to give everything a home as close to it's point of use as possible (there is a reason coat closets are near the front door) and putting things back as soon as I was done with them.

My new habit for the year is to draw a bird a day, to improve my wildlife drawing skills. That is how I found this channel! It was the video called "the drawing advice that changed my life" Classic video!! 😊

I definitely want to start making the 2 to-do lists and I’m gonna start today. I remember watching a video where you introduced the method but I didn’t think I needed it. Now I do 🙈 thank you for the videos you put out, I always look forward to watching them. Your content makes me feel like I can tackle this massive thing called life. Lots of love!

Love love love your perspective on life and how you go beyond what we hear dozens of times about self care and how to practice it. Thanks for all your hard work!

Finally ordered the book,cannot wait to lay my hands on it!Super excited and happy to support you back!

The one about writing two to-do lists is awesome! It is the exact solution to the problem I have everyday. I am definitely going to start incorporating a few of these into my life. Thank you so much for sharing :D

I've been slowly moving into the two to-do lists---I found it extremely helpful to write down every single things I needed to do, but then when I actually looked at the list to get things done it would constantly overwhelm me to the point where I did nothing. I'm chronically ill so most of my days aren't filled with enough energy to get things done, so if I only have that one giant list I end up doing nothing. having two lists, one small do-or-die and one large everything-for-the-forseeable-future, has been working a lot better.

My weird "habit": I set my digital time 2 hours later than the actual time. this had helped me fix my sleep schedule tremendously! Also made me more aware of time. :P I absolutely love the two to-do lists habit! I'm gonna give it a try as well since I procrastinate a lot yet I act like I don't whenever I make to-do lists, which ends up in me not completing the list and feeling guilty. 😅 Love your creativity and humor in your videos, please do make more coz it feels nice and cool to watch your vid while drawing :))

The habit of photographing sentimental items is something I’ve done for years and I tell people about it all the time. Also the two second rule. Love your channel, your good energy and the doggies, of course. Hugs to Felicity; my heart goes out to you.

I use the 'if you can get it done in 2mins, do it now' every day thanks to you! And I love the idea of making two lists, as well as giving the nicest plate to the guest. It made me think about how I swing from always doing stuff to satisfy others to being selfish and not thinking in a balanced way :)

Hey, loved this video, mixing some conventional and unconventional habits. I am with you on the serving the best 🥘 meal to the other person habit, helps me to remember to put others first. The 2 minutes rule for me has been a game changer for me too. To Do list wise I stick with one idea list and just highlight the one most critical thing that needs to happen in that day, I had too much still on my minimum to do list 😞. The don’t missed things twice in a row habit has been good for me, especially with exercise 🏃‍♂️related habits. Thanks again for making this, I too have been focusing on habits in my videos recently, it is a game changing topic for many.

One small hack I... uh... know of, but followed for a short time is this: when you have something bigger to do, and just aren't feeling of doing it, ask yourself what's the smallest thing you can do for it. And then do the smallest thing - it's like one small step up the staircase. And then you might feel more like doing it. If not, ask what's another small step to take.

the second point really hits home!! i am totally in the “self development youtube phase” trying to de clutter. taking pictures of items is an excellent idea. thank you!

Great tips! Thanks! Photographing sentimental items before discarding, giving them away, etc is awesome. I've been doing that for a little while. I love Marie Kondo's approach of thanking items for the joy they brought you before letting them go and also approaching everything in your life from that same sense of gratitude.

I recently starting doing one of the habits, so far it's working. I deleted Instagram from my phone. It's only been a week, but I've been focusing more on painting and loving my art instead of stressing over likes and followers. Instagram and social media are scarily addicting. I'm gonna try some of the other tips you mentioned, great videos as always! ❤❤❤

I've been doing the cold shower and gratitude combo and I love it. best way to wake up and start the day and the gratitude takes your mind off the cold and makes it even easier. I also like to give boring tasks a little of my own flavour by creating my own methods or patterns and pairing it with something I enjoy eg washing the dishes with listening to music/audiobook or vacuuming in sections, hanging out washing while listening to a podcast, creating a game like how fast can I complete this. I find this makes boring tasks easier and more enjoyable to do!

Love your video. Everytime you listed one I was sceptical, like it is not for me, but after you explain.... Makes so much sense

I'm really loving the journaling thing instead of the social media. I thought I could never get off that thing. Thank you so much for that video.

I'm with you on the relaxing music and incense vibes. I do it every day while I'm working... Helps me stay calm and more focused. Its like a little hug! 😊👍🏼✌🏽

There's still a lot of things I need to do on the conventional list to improve myself but I was pleasantly surprised to see I already do the first one on this unconventional list. I'm the cook in my household. I like doing it and I'm the more picky eater, but I always offer my sister either first scoops out of the pot or best plate. Because cooking and feeding my love ones good food does give me joy.

" give the nicer plate to your guest" - got shivers from that wow. Immediately liked and subscribed. thank you very much sir.

Loved this video! My two favorites were giving the guest the best plate and the two to-do lists. I've also noticed some tendencies toward selfishness that I hate (a combo of growing up as an only child and being afraid of scarcity). I always feel better when serving others. Thanks for reminding me of this, and how helpful it is to incorporate it into the little gestures of daily life. I've changed my to-do listing recently to writing the top priorities with stars next to them, and consciously letting go and/or forgiving myself for what I can't get to. They'll be there tomorrow! So cool to hear that you have a similar approach and that it also works for you.

Another great video, Mr. Struthless ;0) My version of the Gratitude Shower isn't cold water--it's that we have any water at all! Seriously, we open a tap and water comes out AND we can control the temperature AND the dirty water disappears down the drain. HOW AMAZING IS THAT?!! The habit of noticing really changed my life. Cheers to you and all your courageous viewers

new habit I'm trying to implement is to not have my phone right next to my bed before I go to sleep and having my phone away from my bed so I have to get up to turn off the alarm in the morning. It's really been helping with my sleep and I'm starting to build a routine around waking at the same time every morning

dude, I'm so happy you found yourself and found your way because that lead to you to making these videos, and holy shiet, I freaking love them!! So helpful and relatable and you're a great speaker too! I love watching your stuff.

I didn't know you had a book! I ordered a paperback copy today from amazon. The reviews are AWESOME! Thank you for all the real, out of the ordinary thoughts and ideas that you keep sharing on your channel. It helps so much!

To the *incredible person* that's seeing this, I wish you all the best in life❤ don't over blame yourself, accept things and go forward. Don't let others define what “success” is for you. Get up, learn the skills needed and get after it, all the keys to a happy life is in your hands. Keep pushing.

Thanks so much for this, Cam. It has reinforced some ideas and brought new ones to work on. A year ago my wife passed away, and a month ago our dog too. My life has changed completely and I struggle to find purpose while distracting myself with work and materialism. I know I’m in a very dark place, but at least I’m aware and slowly dragging out of it. Your words have helped me on this. Thank you 🙏.

Love your videos so much! I started doing the two minute rule about 6 months ago. Great life hack for overthinkers 👍🏽 I listen to spa music right before bed when I “need to relax”, but why didn’t I think of playing it all day! Thank you 🙌🏽

just wanted to say that your videos are genuinely super helpful!! I've been doing the two minute rule for a quite a while now and it has lessened my anxiety a whole LOT :D thanks!

I don't think this is weird, but no one ever talks about it. I got a physical alarm clock to keep myself from going on my phone first thing in the morning.

Love this, thanks! Although if there's anyone with an ADHD brain around, you know the 2 minute rule isn't for us 😅 If I did this I would continuously change from one unfinished task to another because my capacity of sticking with what I'm doing without getting attacked by 4 or 5 visual reminders of other tasks is the reason I'm watching this kind of content

It’s the fusion between science & life realness here. Appreciate your channel. I adopted the 2 min rule from you a while back and it’s a change changer.

I'm so happy that you are sticking with posting more on your KZfaq channel ❤️

- dividing my day into 4 periods: morning (me time) -> pre work (admin small work jobs, or study) -> work (I’m a music producer, so this is my studio time) -> night / come down (basically unwinding the day with healthy personal activities or jobs like groceries etc). This has helped massively cos now when it’s the morning / me time, I’m way more present, cos I know that It’s not the time to think or do work stuff, so my stress levels have been way chiller. And I feel super fresh and have way more energy during those serious work hours when that window comes around. Great video as always king x

Love the cold showers concept. Also, as obvious as this might seem to some, the idea of separating home life from busy work life is the perfect way to find your sanctuary. WFH types like myself are itching to find that balance...harder than you think.

I just found you out today by your journalling video. And I'm mind blown. I love your content so much! Super chill, refreshing, positive and helpful! Keep it up, dude!

I don't usually comment on videos, but wanted to just pop in and say that I think your content is some of the best and most relatable out there. Thanks for doing this!

you are the ONLY productivity channel that has EVER resonated with me and i’ve been consuming this type of content for nearly a decade. you are an utter inspiration. thank you for existing.

Taking a shower every day has changed my life too :D

This dudes KZfaq Chanel is ACTUALLY GIVING like go bestie I love ur videos they’re actually helpful thank you!

I love your videos, so many of these "self-improvement" type videos just give me anxiety and make me feel overwhelmed and yours are like calming and inspiring in a way that's not overwhelming. so thank you!

Dude. Thank you. I used to have some of these same habits before I went down a slippery sloping spiral of despair, drug abuse, dependency and self degradation, (wow, look at that alliteration, whew!) and your videos are helping to reframe my inner dialogue and get back to a bit more self love and self discipline! Oh and, it made me feel good because even at my worst, I still served others the prettier dish! Silly but a kind reminder of my better qualities. Keep the videos coming, I feel that you are helping soooo many people through the struggle right now, because, holy shit man, the struggle is SO REAL! Also overcomable! I don't care if thats not a word, using it anyway. Thanks man. Stay motivated. Its motivating!!!

Dude! Literally all of these things resonate with me, I thought I was the only one who saw them in their life… I was just explaining to a friend about what love meant to me, and I said it’s being totally happy with eating the soggy fries so your loved ones could have the crispy ones; and I cook for my friends all the time! My apartment feels like you’re at the spa, and if the weather is nice, I’m outside as much as possible. Great stuff, thanks!

listened to a few of your videos while having a bad anxiety attack as a distraction just now and to calm down and wanted to thank you man, new sub from a kiwi in perth

Your videos changed my life. Ive been stuck feeling like i cant make myself accountable in a loving way. And Ive tried to do so before, but watching your videos has made me FEEL it. Thank you so much, you channel is AMAZING

I just found your channel today after struggling with one homework question for a long time. I have never been able to build good routines or habits, but after watching just 3 of your videos you have given me so many tips and links to other helpful information. Thank you for being so helpful and organized. Crying over python code was the best thing that happened to me.

I LOVE the idea of writing two lists. I will definitely start doing that. Already try to implement the two minute rule. It really does make a difference.

Hi Struthless! I am literally crying rn because I am so happy I stumbled upon your channel. I was just searching the word "journal" in the KZfaq search bar and I saw your "How to Actually Journal" vlog and I am really hooked! I am learning a lot and since I am currently in one of my unmotivated days, I am having shift of moods and thought because of your wisdom. I love you and your channel so much ♥♥♥

Funny you said "how can I make this the best thing that's ever happened to me?" Quite a few years ago I got sent to prison, for the 2nd time.... and I was thinking about my potential future. And I eventually asked myself this exact question. While I was locked up I took as many classes and courses as possible, volunteered for things, became a TA....and now my life is way better and I'm building my dreams instead of trying to steal them.
