In my opinion there is no work/life balance. It's just a thing sold to the people by society, so they keep on being a busy bee. Thank you for the clip! Keep being you and doing what works for you!

I think balance is for later when you have things off the ground and you're cruising along. When you're trying to get going that requires the most effort... hence the least balance!

I really love your channel Dorian, you show us more than just code, you teach us about life in general and this is beautiful, I hope that you reach all your goals for you and for your family

Thanks for the helpful advice man.. God bless you and your family ❤❤

My problem is that I don't do well with multiple things. I am really good at going hard at one thing, then neglecting other things. For instance, I spent too much time trying to up my skills in tech, that I didn't spend any time trying to get my resume up to snuff, so I had to stop coding completely and focus on the resume. One that's done, I'll either go back to coding or something else tech related.

People really don't get the concept of balance. The philosophy comes from Buddhism where Buddha was trying to search and attain enlightenment. The story was he found a guru who believed that fasting and not eating at all would end all suffering, so you have to be hungry through your whole life and tell yourself you are not suffering. The result was Buddha ended up dying from starvation. When a woman maiden came by seeing him all bones and dried up, she quickly offered him a rice bowl. Buddha didn't give a crap anymore and just eat it so happily like his life was safe. That momentary happiness was when he was enlightened unintentionally. And that is the keyword, intentions. The fact that people intend to purposely seek balance is not balance. The fact that people forcing enlightenment won't find enlightenment. It's all just knowing and aware of what you seek, and conscious of what you do. One can be balanced and not balanced throughout their lives and it is ok. Life is not constant and not consistent.

Lmao I'm so glad it's not just me, I constantly forget to eat, drink go to the bathroom if I get "hyper-focused" Glad to see you back on the regular video grind man, I hope your own mental is in a better place as of late

love your stuff dude! More pomodoro streams please, or just more chat streams, they're great :)

Thanks for this Dorian, just starting my own freelance webdevelopment business next to my full-time job so this was helpfull.

Great video, great advice!! Keeping it real.

the key is resilience, if somebody can be resilient pushing themselves while remaining trully unbothered, that is true power. otherwise it is self destruction.

Great video, I wrestle with going to hard on my goals nice to know I'm not crazy lol

You are amazing❤🎉

Happy and unhealthy - I understand this process but health should be #1 when possible and if needed adjust your goals, I think knowing how to rest and heal just like with exercise is also a key to progression and staying healthy.

First....eyy it has gotta mean something🔥

there never was balance, there is only corporate slavery, we are born to slog only in corporates till we die or till our retirement, whichever comes first especially if we work minimum wage !!!! upskilling everyday and job hopping every 18 months is the only way to increase personal professional value regaining balance while silently shifting from employee to entrepreneur !!!!

I think that this is mindset of capitalism. And that is sad but it's true in a same moment. Depending what we want, but living slower, with more awareness of every day, is absolute true

Are you Johnny sins brother

your mindset is Little bit the opposite of David Goggin's. I want Goggin's mentality I am comfortable being very, very uncomfortable.

fuck succsess i just want to live a live worth living and stop slaving away for some scraps
