@@GrahamStephan The reason your views didn't dip when you posted less is that people can only watch so much of one topic/personality over time. A subscriber/regular viewer won't watch all of your videos, at some point they'll need to take a *break* from the topic or just expand their horizons, but they will keep coming back if the content is good. So good content is better than quantity long term for channel longevity. Quality also does not necessarily have to mean more investment in each video. Anyways, good on you for realizing there's more to life than money, optimizing your time for your self instead of optimizing yourself for the "world algorithm".

Graham, it's all about balance my friend. You are at great place financially. Find your peace and start doing things that you love, you have earned it. Focusing on art and aquariums is not silly, we all have different hobbies. You should be happy that you have not just one, but two. Don't stress too much about the money, because you are great with that, and even if you stop "working" right now, you are probably good for the rest of your life. You are a smart person and you will always find a way to provide for your family, no doubt about that, so don't stress so much, you have done so much financially at your age. Keep the work that you enjoy and have a balance between that work and everything else. I believe your health should be with highest priority, and also spend some quality time with your fiance, family and friends, that's what really matters. Keep it up. Greetings from a like-minded fellow from Bulgaria! :)

I also put a pause on making videos as I felt like burning out even before I really started. I plan to return once I find a relaxed format that I enjoy and can better connect with the people that follow me. Until then, I'm working on my businesses and collecting better stories to tell. Enjoy the day people, take it easy!

Obviously, you just need to hire a personal executive secretary. You tell them how many hours a week you want to apply to each set of tasks, and they figure out where and when you need to be in a place. Make sure you schedule plenty of pure relaxation time. You know your executive secretary will keep you on track.

It will never be enough - what a scary cycle to be stuck it. It’s good you are recalibrating your work and expectations.

Curious if therapy had any role in this. I was hoping that would be mentioned in this video. Your honest discussion really sounds like someone with a firm grasp on their own inner workings.

This helps me. I've watched a lot of self-development videos, mostly good, but change is incredibly hard, especially at 62. I don't know why this was different than those, except perhaps, I knew you from your videos as someone who seemed a real grinder, almost toxically. I mean, you were laidback and humorous enough, but you seemed to have a "Never slow down, never give up!" undercurrent. I certainly learned some from you about being fiscally wiser, but this video gave me more than all the others. The art and garden, were specifically interesting. I'm striving to do more of what's really important- to me- and while it all requires money, money is the means, not the end. Thanks.

I am betting this video will be one of your most viewed because of your authenticity. It's easy to get caught up in life and work, and forget about our wellbeing and happiness. We have one life, it goes by so fast. I love your insight, 'to optimize your life to be happy', what a wonderful, simple thing we should all be doing. ♥

Really enjoyed this. I have watched you for years and it has been interesting for me as I started my KZfaq channel at the same time and have the exact same thoughts. I too have recently discovered that less is more in terms of my health and happiness. Authenticity is key to everything and this was brilliant and honest.

I think you were in the camp of optimizing for optimizations sake. In the beginning you wanted money for security and enjoyment and then forgot to do the enjoyment part. So good for you on stacking the scales with the other sides of life.

This was so honest and different! And I think it's relatable for everyone to hear about the thought process behind your channel and personal experiences. We all want to be successful in our own way. Loved hearing how you valued your time.

Relatable. I’m in a similar place. I became a millionaire watching you and my business is in its 9th year. I’m turning it into a franchise this year and I’ve had to shift my mindset away from prioritizing work to valuing happiness. It’s harder than it sounds.

I’m a short form creator and I can definitely relate to every single stage that you mentioned. I went into overdrive for a few years and couldn’t make anything for months. So I decided to slow down my content. I personally enjoy my headspace these days much more.
