to me, rule number one is never act on motivation, its too fluctuating and unstable to count on it. Also what helps is not to announce you gonna do something, just do it and then maybe show it off. My tablet however was a great purchase, bought for drawing but used it for many things over the years.

I had the same dinky 100 dollar tablet for about five years and it took me through the entirety of highschool. At the beginning of college, i got a much fancier screen tablet and had a brief honeymoon phase with it, however since then don't use it nearly as much other than for assignments. A fun new gadget can get you far, but passion gets you farther.

I, too, am and have been a "victim" of my own inspiration since I was young, and I've found motivation through limitation. What can I accomplish with 3 colors of oil paint, this linseed oil, paint thinner, and these 3 brushes. Limitation seems to be an excellent motivational framework for me, in this age of accessibility and excess.

I totally get ya, when deciding to purchase something i always ask the question "does this solve a problem that im having NOW while im doing work/a hobby?" or am i like "buying this device will motivate me to start said work/hobby!" and if its the latter then i know that i really do not need it one example im guilty of is buying nice felt tip pens and fancy notebooks, lots of times i get the pen and notebook from the store, thinking i'll start doodling into them, but never get around to doing that, i eventually learnt that im just more comfortable with digital art, and i need to buy things to solve problems now, not buy stuff in search of problems to solve

Sometimes i feel like you're inside my head 👀 Thanks for this video, i struggled with this throught all my life, and yeah, i did the same as you, i finally stopped buying things until i did it without the tool during some time, i finally noticed this pattern on me after feeling bad because i had too much gadgets and i was not using them because i didn't feel like it after i fiddled with them

The idea of trying out a cheaper thing so that you deserve the more expensive one is 1000% true. I had this with yoyoing and there was no way I was gonna spend like $100+ on a yoyo if I didn't get half decent with it. And that became my goal to get better at it, which helped a looooot

@NihongoGamer 2 ай бұрын

Which yoyo did u buy?

@Rhythm162. 2 ай бұрын

@NihongoGamer at first I got some cheap yoyo from Amazon, but then I saved up to get an outlier 3 from offset last year!

@NihongoGamer 2 ай бұрын

Outlier 3 eh? Looked it up. Looks nice! Super wide!!

@Rhythm162. 2 ай бұрын

@NihongoGamer it's actually pretty small imo! The outlier + tho is insanely big! Although it affects my speed a lot cuz of its weight, so I prefer the 3 over the + personally

I want to learn stenography, but keyboards meant to do the tasks cost at least 100 dollars, and I feel like that's too big of a commitment, but I find myself reading a lot so I'm saving up for a nice ereader to enhance my experience instead of reading on my tiny phone so I think it's a more worthwhile hobby purchase
