Leader are on the other side of the fence.

I totally agree with you. More people should watch it to realize what really matters in life. Great video!

Indeed.

I really enjoyed this video! I also really like your style of delivery here and you really suit it. I totally get where you're coming from, and it's something I see a lot too; especially with younger generations (and I'm only 34), I hear people talk about their struggles with attention and a genuine love/hate relationship with their black glass rectangle. I think there can be a lot to unpack here - but I would always start with kindness to yourself, because struggles with attention can also create a lot of self-shaming (e.g. "I'm too lazy to read a book!" or "I've wasted hours of my life watching instagram!") and small acts of self-shaming can be done over and over very rapidly without us realising it, which just makes the whole thing feel more stressful to think about. I think everything is a muscle, and you build that muscle up. That's true with attention as well - aiming for a page a day of a book is absolutely fine at first, and then two, and suddenly you're reading a whole chapter in one sitting. Same with creativity, or making something. I'd always encourage people not to sit down and expect their behaviour to suddenly snap into a different mode - it usually won't, but everything is a muscle which can be built up. I also think you can 'weaponise' the tools of KZfaq and Instagram so they become more productive. For example, I have accounts I log into where every channel I follow is related to particular crafts I enjoy doing, so they're actively teaching me new methods or giving me ideas. Or channels related to specific interest or professional interest areas (I run workshops on AI so I give myself permission to watch AI reviewers and things as I'm relaxing in bed - because it genuinely entertains me but it also keeps me informed about developments). In this way, although it's still pure entertainment, I've at least flavoured it to become helpful. I hope you keep making videos, I've just subscribed to your channel :) And I hope you aren't too hard on yourself when you aren't productive. Any movement is improvement!

A few years ago I've stopped using social media entirely. Except for youtube and very rarely pinterest, I don't really scroll through my phone, and let me tell you it has done wonders for my ability to focus. I read everyday without issues, I study, I draw and I'm far mentally healthier than I was when I kept getting lost in social media. Highly recommend it to everyone. Another thing that has allowed me to read more is TheStoryGraph, they have daily streaks for reading and it's done wonders to keep me excited to read more and read widely.

45yrs and I remember no social media or the internet or mobile phones. I miss those days. I used to read novels, take a book everywhere and read when spare moments. Even at home between home jobs. Now, internet takes my time up. I dislike the self help vlogs or book's now, becoming a fad. My aim to pick up DIY books, learn to mend things at home and to feel good about this. In the end, you take it all with you, no one will care, someone will take our place. Small forward steps brother.

I stopped the video before you revealed the number of pages you read, and because of the title of the video I’d go with 0… 😅

"What an amazing challenge! Consistency breeds greatness. Can't wait to see the growth and creativity unfold over 30 days! 🎥🌟 #CreativeJourney #Inspiration"

Congrats Tomi, and I'm commenting to check if you really reply to all comments. (joking 🤣) It was great doing this challenge with you, it wouldn't have been the same otherwise. Thanks again Tomi. :)

Both sound and image are getting better! It's funny to see how we both evolve with our videos! BTW, did you start the 1st of the month or a bit later? (you must be close to the end of the challenge!!)

I don’t have that blues anymore, except when I’m spending that day with people who have it. 😅

100%!! It's showing up everyday even if nothing goes right 😅 I still think it's amazing to learn skills, some days we might not have time for improving a specific aspect of the video, but during these days we still record, edit and upload the video, so skills are solicited every single day! Btw, I like your new setup, the bookcases look nice!

The sound is getting better!! And you as well!! Congrats Tomi!

I loved the trip 😊 tks!!

Such a good video

Hahaha .. the subtitles were auto generated and it says limiting police instead of beliefs 😅

You’re right, negating them will not help, but asking « Why? » can spark reflection!

thanks for the book recommendation! nice video as well :)

This is interesting challenge!!! I really unterstand it too~ consistency is the hardest lesson

I completely feel it, very happy to be on the boat with you though! Challenging, but full of learnings!

Nice one again! I really like the editing!

I like it! It’s interesting in terms of editing as well!

I like the message from the initial text, there’s value in it! Happy that you still decided to go on to post the video!

I don’t know why I overthink, but yes I definitely do!

So that’s another « done » for you! 💪🏼

Great job on dealing with the sound issues! I’m sure this will happen to me too. 😅

I also catch myself scrolling sometimes, whether on LinkedIn or KZfaq! It’s a constant thing to work on…

These are great questions. I haven’t recorded many moments of my life so far, and now I want to capture more of them!

Interesting

What did you use to record
