I am always weary of self improvement content but yours actually helps me. There's no overpriced courses, no "depression isn't real, just clean your room" bs, no toxic positivity bs, no "everything in your life is 100% your fault" bs. You take self improvement seriously and the wisdom you share is real. This goal setting system sounds great and I'll definitely try it for my current goals. Thanks a lot for doing what you're doing and good luck with your second book!!

Man, you have no idea how much of an impact these videos have on people. I just dropped out of architecture and I feel like it's a much needed opportunity for a fresh start. Videos like this usually give me some sense of direction at least. Thank you!

Hi Struthless I doubt you will see this but I just wanted to say thank you for the videos you make. disingenuous Self improvement KZfaqrs have plagued the platform and it's hard to come by helpful, genuine creators like yourself. 100's of thousands - millions of people appreciate your work even if like me, they don't always leave comments, appreciate it. Thanks man.

God must have a sense of humor because I was legit crying myself to sleep last night, feeling so overwhelmed, defeated, and purposeless. Feeling too far down the hole to climb out of it. And then this video pops up? I almost didn't click on it because most self-help youtubers feel out of touch. But this video was exactly what I needed today

I think your use of AI is exactly how artists, real artists, need to use it. It’s a sounding board, something to inspire and jump off of, and not an actual full solution to creative problems. This is cool. I might give it a shot, as some of my goals this year are very nebulous lol

The AI prompt really floored me, man. It was wild how good it was at giving goal-specific advice. It's clear you poured a lot of your wisdom into it because a lot of it made sense, and even had a healthy dose of your personality in there! I've been a huge fan of your methods for as long as I've known about you... they really resonate with me. Can't wait to take this with me as I tackle 2024!

Five years ago today, I woke up in a hospital bed, paralysed from the waist down. The journey since then has been beyond my wildest expectations. Cam, your videos are a constant source of inspiration on my journey. If you're interested, I've shared some of my experiences in a recent video. I know you’re probably super busy, but maybe you’ll take a peek. Either way, thank you for all the awesome videos you make ❤

I’m 27 without my license & in my 9th year of college. I have been digging the hole of learned helplessness & this really makes me feel like I can shift the mindset into achieving those two goals. I have been stagnant out of fear but these years will pass by whether I’ll accomplish those goals or not. Thank you again as always

This is the one of the very few channels that I will watch productivity/goal-setting tips on because you’re just so matter-of-fact. The honesty is so necessary. I don’t even like goal-setting for the new year but this video makes me want to try.

I've been wanting to meditate and exercise more and I've adopted a strange strategy to help with that: Floor time. No matter how I feel, every single day I will lay on the floor. That's it, that's the goal. I will not get back up until I feel like I've accomplished Floor Time properly. On a good day I immediately go into yoga and meditation and might follow up with one of my more intensive exercise options like weight lifting. On a bad day, I will lay on the floor and stare at the ceiling, notice how shitty my body feels, and think, "Well, I'm here, I may as well stretch out my joints. I can do some deep breathing too, that doesn't take much extra energy." Sometimes, it wakes me up a bit and I'm able to properly get into whatever I'm doing. Sometimes I am just genuinely, truly not feeling it because I have absolutely no energy, might be sick, whatever. On those days, I let myself do the bare minimum. I know that if I Push Through like all the motivational speakers say to do, I'll burn myself out and start to associate Floor Time with Pain Time and I'll want to stop doing it. The key is that even when I feel like absolute garbage and am realistically not doing anything that actively drives me towards my goals, I am still maintaining the routine that will get me there. I don't have the shame or anxiety of 'falling off'. I laid on the floor, I listened to my body, my body said no, but I still laid on the floor. It keeps up the habit of putting myself where I physically and mentally need to be every day to make it happen on my better days.

I thought i was procrastinating for a long time, but it turns out healing takes a lot of energy. That's my Identify ❤ Realising that is healing in itself

I had an awesome 2023, thanks to you, Cam. Doing the Alphabet Superset projects has kept me creative and boosted my confidence as I'm getting a good response from my friends and family. The consistency you inspired in me allowed me to do Inktober for the first time ever (I did it with a theme of David Bowie lyrics and drew 31 Bowies!) ... I couldn't have done it without your guidance and inspiration, so thank you. I look back on the past year with a sense of achievement. Keep your fantastic words and works coming! ❤

Dude, this video is so dense!!! I just finished listening to a 7 hour productivity book, and no joke, there are more take-aways in your video!!! Thanks a thousand Cam!

Thank you for this post. Timing is perfect. This has been an EXTREMELY challenging year. Prior to this, you helped the start of my self reflection in a productive direction. You started my journaling. And your brother's story really moved me. And here you are again. Thank you for your work. And thank you for being you

So sorry to hear of the loss of your friend, especially at such a young age. Navigating grief is difficult. I lose my grandad last year, and grief definitely makes you panic about time and what to do with it amongst other things. Just want to say a massive thank you, for these videos. Your videos give so many, the tools to help change our mind sets. Dig deeper, but with a mindful that helps. As an over thinker, who finds it hard to focus they are great for making it more digestible. These videos are such a great resource. Hope this is a better year for us all. 🙏

Man, you don't know how much you help us out there. I'm failing my studies, and your videos always boost me to reach my goals. Sometimes, I tell myself what advice you'd give in a situation. Thanks a lot.

Seriously, you are the only channel I know that gives life advice that makes a lasting impact. The way you present it is so out of the box and unique that it’s engaging, yet realistic in a way that makes me excited to try it :) Also, your ability to talk about screw ups and failures and recoveries and mistakes really resonates with me too. A lot of channels only cover “top ten tricks”, and don’t talk about the hurdles that come up. Thank you thank you!

cam, i too am someone who feels weird about ai and thinks it should be more regulated and studied before it's used to EVERYTHING and i must say that your tool is the dealmaker for me in this list of steps. im a perfectionist and procastinator and in this moment it's way easier to identify what i don't want or can't do (im in a depressive episode) and editing what the ai puts out will be way easier to do than coming up with everything myself. as always, thank you so much for your creations, you really make a difference in my life and in my artistic journey. catch ya

I miss the "holding the mic" vibe ngl

The banjo transitions are perfection

2024 is already my comeback year. I allowed fear, procrastination and other mental barriers to stop me from pursuing my life’s goals for many years. But finally, last October I finally broke through the wall and I’ve been working feverishly on my music ever since. I plan to keep going until I’m successful. I have great songs and the world is going to hear them!

I really appreciate the video even though I'm still likely to struggle with figuring out an actual clear goal for a while. My 2023 was both amazing and absolutely horrible. I met the love of my life, went traveling on my own for the first time, met some amazing people and made great memories. Then maybe about a month after I got back from my vacation I lost my father to depression. Our relationship was incredibly strained for the past year as well because of childhood trauma and my parents finally going through with the divorce that they needed. I never got to say goodbye though or received the apology I felt like I was deserved. That was back in October and I still don't think I'm fully over it, definitely not enough to properly interact with the outside world yet. My heart goes out to you, losing someone suddenly fucking sucks. It's nice though to feel like I'm not completely alone, the piles of trauma I have feel like they just keep getting more and more tangled the more I try to undo them. I've been to an amazing therapist but she just costs too much for me now at this point. I know you're not licensed but I really appreciate you doing these videos. You make me feel like it's not as hopeless as it seems sometimes. Even though I struggle to genuinely implement anything helpful in my life I still have the comfort in not feeling crazy or lazy even for not getting anywhere. That easy path in my brain is so smooth it's practically a waterslide. Things like this help me sit back for a moment and just breathe, try and help get my thoughts in order so I can try again. Thank you for all that you do, best wishes to you and your family

I don't know how you do it, but you always manage to put such a novel and actually insightful spin on the usual self help topics. So much content is basically the same stuff regurgitated that I feel like I know it all, but you genuinely make me think about things in ways I never have before. Thank you!

Just want to say thanks dude for everything you do. I know it’s rough taking care of children and still work towards your goals and dreams but I think you’re doing great. I hope this year is awesome for you and your family. Thanks again for being a dude with a you tube channel.

I am currently working on my application portfolio for university and I wanted to thank you so much for your videos! I love watching them whilst I draw and it keeps me motivated and inspires me a lot! Hope you see this and if you do I wish you and all your loved ones a wonderful day!

I've been eagerly awaiting a video like this for two weeks and I'm so glad you took the time to make one! I have a lot of plans for this year and am looking forward to getting tips on how to tackle it all. Thank you so much Cam, it really feels like a second Christmas to me! 🥰

Mate, I'm 21, been watching your videos for like a week, and it is having a PROFOUND effect on the way I see my life. All I've wanted for the last few months is to move myself closer to the life I want. Financially, creatively, all that stuff. I'm sick of reading books and watching videos that tell me "You do have the time, you're just not doing anything with it" and sitting there with rings around my eyes at the end of a day feeling like I JUST haven't ticked enough boxes, or eaten enough frogs, or feeling enough fear or changing enough about anything. My life is feeling like a sliding puzzle recently. In order to get to what I want to do/finish/work on, I have to put out five other fires, move loads of shit out of the way, and then when I finally get round to it I have no energy to get started. It's fundamentally draining. Seeing people like you putting out videos all the time and at such high quality whilst I take months and months and months to put out one 8-minute highlight video is a real kick in the teeth, especially when I compare where I am to where you came from and tell myself I've got it easy. it's not about the amount of water you're drowning compared to that of other people. It's about the fact that you're drowning. Thanks for that tidbit Cameron :) Off the back of your content, I'm going to try and set myself up better for progress, and try to make it easier for me to get started on things. Thanks for existing boss.

Thanks for this, Cam. I’m literally halfway through “Your Head is a Houseboat” and you’ve helped me a great deal. Glad I stumbled across your videos last year; have a great 2024! ❤

Cam, thank you so much for what you do! I have been watching your videos since 2020 and every single one of them was on repeat. You strike with your authenticity and make people feel a bit better about themselves every single day. It’s fantastic to see you grow that much! Hope you feel better 🫂

Cam, I've been following you for a few years now, and every practical guide you've posted had at least 1 thing that has already changed my daily routine, my projects, my life - all for the better. I hope you know how important your work is. Thank you for being so real and candid. And hilarious, most of all. Happy new year. I hope you're having a wonderful 2024 so far.

Been watching on and off for four years; sometimes I come back to absorb some knowledge - applying or just enjoying your perspective. Others, because seeing you is the familiarity of an old friend. Always a pleasure + totally gonna try your tool!

Thanks for your amazing content & sorry for your loss man, I lost my mom to cancer couple of months ago and needless to say it derailed everything I had in mind but I continue to start again over and over because I know there is always something worth learning from it. Again, thank you and thanks to everyone sharing their experiences :)

I rarely comment on videos, but this goal setting tool is brilliant, Cam! Thank you for the work you do and the positive impact you make in this world. The delivery of the responses to my prompts made me feel like I was getting a personalised Struthless pep talk 🙌

Thanks for being you

I work on a creative team at a marketing company with designers across the world and we regularly share your videos with each other to motivate and discuss ❤❤❤

I love your videos - I love your blunt honesty yet you frame everything so kindly. Love from Canada.

Another fantastic video that is clearly already helping many from the comments. I do feel this one kind of cleanly sums up many of the approaches you've introduced over the years (case in point you were already doing most of the things in one category). Sorry to hear about your friend, it's always hard to know what to say and can only wish the best for all in a time of difficulty. Your channel has helped me over the last few years keep on top of things and not give up my potential, I'm hoping that this year is the one I can finally start putting a lot of this into practice. So, thankyou for keeping it real, and holding a direction to aim for.

Finally Cam. I was literally waiting for your video for 2024 new year since the 1st of January. Thank you for creating the content you create. It makes a huge difference in my life. ❤️❤️

You're by far the most realistic youtuber that makes content on self-improvement and productivity. Some channels i watch seem to be putting out the same content as everyone else, but your videos are always something new!

I love brass taxes! Miss-pronunciation is fun all by itself, also the Stoics tell us waking up early is the tax you pay to get a start on the day so brass taxes still works! Further proof the universe is working for ya! Love you guys!

Dude, what ever happened to you in your life (and that sure was some hard shit), it made you an exceptional person. I love your videos, I love your mindset. It’s not only your content that is great and inspiring, it is also watching you grow over the years. I am really proud of you. You definitely have a spot in my top 3 all-time favorite youtubers.

you are so incredible. it's fascinating to see someone dissect themselves and use those findings to set their potential at full. struthless, this channel and all of your creations are so YOU and that's what makes them so special. keep creating, always.

I’ve watched many of your videos and I’ve loved them all. But this one, wow! Brilliant, timely and just downright awesome! (And all the little mini Easter eggs were on point this video…Anarchist’s Cookbook made me LOL) Thanks so much for this. I’m glad I have a path now to make my 2024 better than my 2023, which was the worst year of my life.

7:33 I felt like I needed to hear that

I am happy that your page came to my recommendations one day. I was feeling confused and unsure that the enthusiasm and excitement of my goals for the year was starting to fade. Your tool helped me a lot to find new bearings and to outline my plans more clearly. Thank you so much!

another stunning video! just spent two hours mapping out my goals for this year with your advice, let’s goooooo

Loved that app you made. I put 3 separate goals that i have and the first one got the funniest and right on the gut text, much like your videos and i loved it. Thanks for making that and for keep making videos about real issues.

Thank you for creating that goal setting thing. I found it really helpful as it had some things I hadn't thought of, and I like things laid out neatly before me. Awesome work!💕

I just can't express how much you help through this 3 years to precisely make my inertia grow. I found your channel at 2021 and many of your videos made me question myself and have hunger to actually change and go for my goals. Last year was a blast because of that and all I want for this one is to keep on with the snowball.

Hi Struthless! I cannot tell you how much your video and tool came at the perfect time. I was just job hunting a while ago after being afraid to do it for a year and I could feel my anxiety creeping up again. Feelings inadequacy came up as they usually do but your tool really helped me put myself back together again. You are an amazing human being and I hope to help others like you do someday.

thank you for your videos, they really help me. a lot of people are writing how much you help them and i wanted to join in. often, i don't give enough appreciation to people or things i love but i just wanted to tell you that you are great, your videos made my life much better and i'm still struggling with goals and structure and all that stuff but i'm gonna work on some stuff right now because you gave me motivation. i wanted to go to sleep because for me it's really late but idk, it's always a balance between having a good time to sleep versus working more.

I gotta thank you a lot. I always watched and loved your videos, I bought your book, it's great! Now I used your little tool and omg, I'm blown away. This was the thing I needed. Thank you so much

Thank you for this super helpful video, it came at the most opportune time. I also want to say that I’m so sorry you lost your friend, my heart goes out to you Cam. ❤

Just tried out the app and it was amazingly accurate, articulate, and helpful! Thank you for making it ♥

I appreciate your energy, time, and thoughtfulness. Much respect and love from Japan, my man.

Perfect. The answer made me cry tears of encouragement that I really needed after a recent burnout.

Please never stop doing videos! You are literally doing the most beneficial, high quality and interesting content. Thank you thank you thank you!

Struthless, I have been watching your content for such a long time and this was one of the most helpful. I put my dreams and goals and struggles into the AI you created and just reading everything that came out of it has made me start crying. I have this dream of being a VTuber and inspiring people, like you, and had so many doubts in my mind. But reading all of this makes it seem so much more real. Like I can actually do it. And the positivity you've implemented into this AI is just reassuring me. Thank you so much for this because it's really something I needed

Thanks so much for this one in particular! I was a little skeptical of ai, especially as an artist but this one really did help me break down steps for a big cross country move I'm planning to make in May. It also helped me realize I was already well on the way!

Watching this a second time and using the tool in tandem. this is pretty incredible. I’ve only explored the inversion at the moment, but man … well done.

CONGRATS FOR THE MILLION SUBSCRIBERS!!!! If someone deserves them in this platform that's YOU! love u so much struthless, you'll always be amazing.

Happy New Year bro, always anticipating your videos ❤

Love this video! It really put into words what I need to consider when implementing goals. Life is inevitable, but considering the "inverse" of the goal is honestly something I never really thought about deeply. Definitely writing these I's down in my journal to reference on a rainy day (figuratively speaking).

This is such an eye opening video. I've put off many of my goals for silly reasons and this video helped me to get back on track. Thank you so much! (and I -finally- posted my first KZfaq- video after facing my strong fear of posting the first one. Woo!)

I've found a lot of self-help channels and I'm glad I've found yours as you give a lot of great advice and you have a lot of great energy that makes your videos fun and satisfying. Personally, for me last year went it okay but my resolutions didn't go as well as such as reading more books and staying off social media but I feel I did well with socializing more and hanging out with friends and it's one that I've been trying to apply more and more as the years have gone on and I hope I can continue with that.

Thank you. You always make my days better when I see your videos, and bring me hope. And help guide me further, and inspire me. Enough to get myself a new book for christmas featuring a houseboat!

i really enjoyed this video. wish you and your loved ones the best🐸💕

bro you have no idea how much your videos have helped me achieve things and build trust in myself, thank you

You're amazing. You've helped me through many hurdles and this video has yet again helped me tackle somthing. I not an advocate for AI but your use for it in this scenario has been awesome and so helpful. I can't thank you enough. Looking forward to your next book!

I literally grabbed my notebook and started writing down..your videos help me a lot, because they are very clear and fun to watch, thank you!

I cannot tell you how much this has already helped!!! I'm releasing a song soon and I find the social media and marketing side of things really tricky and vulnerable. The bot just gave me such great steps and motivation, and I love the way you programmed it to write omg. Thank you!!!!!

You’re just great! Loved your first book and look forward to your next! ❤

Just spent an hour-and-a-half committing to watch the video, write things down for myself as I watched it, did all the things with your AI program, and wrote down some essentials from that as well. I've been struggling with my studies for years, and this really helped! Watching your content never fails to motivate me. Thank you so much for the amazing stories, content, and insight you give me. Keep up the good work! Love from the Netherlands

I love your channel so much! Please, keep posting and thanks for everything

Happy New year! I can’t wait to try your ai tool for a proper kick in the pants. Sending you hugs about your friend. Grief is weird and sometimes you just gotta ride the waves and be kind to yourself through the process.

I cannot tell you how much I appreciate your practical advice. Thank you!

Love youuuu , you have an amazing train of thoughts and sense of humor !!

Amazing. I’m normally a HUGE goal setter / new year lover, but this year my goals feel buried so deep in the mire of life sludge, I just don’t have the energy to go through the work it would take to create an action plan. Then here you come with your wonderfully real videos AND with a free tool to do ALL the work?? Amazing.

The motivation and inspiration is so high for my goal to finish and release an album now. Thank you for the app! It did help so so much.

Dude, no words. Just thanks and congratz on everything. Keep this camera rolling.

I have been waiting for a new year's video from you!! Can't wait to watch it!! Thank you in advance!

Finally received your book, loving it!! :) thank you for your work!!

I love this, and as someone who also has the “start something with a tonne of excitement, lose interest fast and start something new” tendencies, I suspect this is going to be very useful! And I’m so sorry about your friend. You’re right, some things that derail life just don’t have an easy answer. Hope you’re holding up okay ❤️

So sorry for your loss man. In 2022 I lost a dear friend in February, followed by a second even dearer friend in July, followed by a third in September, 5 days before I was due to have a surgery that was meant to be an overnight stay in hospital but went wrong and had me there two weeks, finally topped off by witnessing my brother in law die graphically in a freak accident in our front garden a week after I got out of hospital. It’s been a whole year since all these tragedies unfolded in such a short space of time and I’m still not doing too well. Spent years in therapy from 13 years old to almost being discharged as I was finally on top of all my past traumas and then 2022 happened and since then I’ve been in a whole new form of hell I never could have imagined and it’s so hard to know how I could ever get back to where I was before all that tragedy. But anyway that’s a whole lotta dark stuff, despite all that pain I’m still here and still trying my hardest and sure it’s fucking agony at times but I am lucky to have a beautiful 3 year old son who I have to be strong for and that is a blessing I couldn’t begin articulate the importance of. I’ve always found so much comfort in your content because I feel we have eerily similar lives, views and interests as well as troubles so I feel I relate to you heaps and I’m so sorry that now we can relate on loss. You’re a huge inspiration to me and clearly so many other people and you give such a huge breath of fresh air from the day to day hell that life can be so thank you so much for all that you do. Even if you don’t meet your own standards sometimes, you’re absolutely killing it compared to many and most, and you have so much to be proud of. Thanks so much for all you do you man of many talents 🙏 much love and may 2024 be better to us all because we could all do with a f*cking break lol

Thank you so much not only for the videos (they always five me a burst of energy and make me want to improve myself) but for the AI. It really just did wonders for me!! I've been struggling for a few weeks now and I actually found myself laughing while reading the text the AI gave me and that just made everything so much easier! I was literally freaking out when I started the video, now I can go to sleep in peace and have my bak-up plan: reading the text over and over again!! Really, thank you. You're amazing!

Dude. This is absolutely BRILLIANT. The way your mind works, I'm just blown away - you make things so straightforward! Ingenious, infectious, inspiring. 🎉

I was just waiting for a video like this from you!❤

Omg, I so rarely comment on videos, but I have to say I was blown away back that AI tool. That was so helpful, especially the action plan. Makes me hopeful about the future and the wonderful things we will make with this technology. Thank you for sharing it, and for all the really practical tips you have shared in your videos.

Thank you for the tool, I've used it and got a good laugh, and especially a good reflexion. You may be 'just a guy with a KZfaq channel' but I needed someone to bring things in the format you give. Thank you again and a great new year

This is definitely one of your best videos, keep it up lad. Love your videos ! 😊

Loved this video. Put my goals into the tool and it gave me a great layout. Thank you for this! ❤

Such a good video. Every time I watch the channel I come away with loads of actionable little steps and do better for it. And the silly goofy style is always a pleasure to watch.

what a great tool! A lot of times I have issues with getting steps down and it all stays kinda foggy in the back of my mind, but having the tool spell a lot of it out for me gave be a good kickstart

This is an incredible video Campbell. Great work with that app too. Sorry for your loss too, and I hope the healing process is coming along. Thanks for the great work man!

Love this tool! You've done so well!

Omg, I just used the ai for two of my goals and I feel like I just got a sight of my blind spots. It’s so thorough and detailed, it seems like it’ll be very helpful, thank you so much for making this.

I tried your AI tool right away and it gave me a good chuckle AND some awesome tips that I will add to my goal strategy. Absolutely brilliant. Love your videos. Happy 2024!

Sorry about your friend Cam, that's a pretty tough thing to have to handle :/💙 Tbh doing anything after something like that is impressive, so definitely take it easy. Life isn't always consistent enough to plan for, so there's no shame in slowing down for a bit. If it's a struggle to keep goals, perhaps prioritize them differently and let some things slide for a bit, at least until you start feeling well enough that it doesn't feel too "heavy" to handle anymore. If you can't be "productive", aim for grace instead. Maybe it will be a hard time, but showing yourself grace does more for healing then beating yourself up does. Perhaps it could become a lesson in how to be kinder to yourself, or delve into why productivity is so important that you would feel shame for not being that way all the time, even when circumstances do not allow for it (what your values are + where you originally got them from, and if it is valuable to keep them or not, or in what situations). I hope you can hold the space and time to grieve + heal well, and I'm sorry for your loss. I'm sure you made their life better and they were happy to have known you while they were around, just like you were happy to have known them~

I have watched so many of these of video in the past week lor two, looking for some inspiration, and this is without doubt the best, most thorough and realistic.
