Great video. I’m really struggling at the moment with how to reconcile working a full time job with all of the things I want to do. Making music, writing, reading, improving my Japanese, drawing… it feels impossible to fit everything in and I end up doing nothing most of the time. Paralysis of analysis.

Great thoughts & advice! As a father of 2 little ones, I have very little personal time. This requires constant priority evaluation. My top priorities are family, work, spiritual fitness & physical fitness. After watching this video it’s clear I need to make more time for writing & reading. I often wish I spent more time drawing but it has been & continues to be not important enough to make the cut. But unlike many other abandoned hobbies, I will get back to it one day. Thanks for helping me consider things more clearly.

Each time I see you have uploaded a new video and I start watching it I can't help but to feel a little guilty. I mean, since I'm "losing" time watching KZfaq videos, I'm not making progress in my own learning/writing. Is that something that happens to you too? Not with your own videos, obviously 😂

I get that completely, if it gets out of hand, it becomes it's own form of procrastination or fake productivity. Still, learning and consuming content that helps is good for you so long as you balance it with action. I try and do both every day.

My mind salivates at the glimpses of all those interesting books. Thanks for the insights. Would you be so kind as to make a video on the importance of reading the classics?

"Not an excuse to suck at all of them." You can't do everything, and so focusing on what is essential will prevent you from over committing yourself. The most valuable skill you can develop is something I call "Idea Sourcing". Basically every idea was born from someone or something and you need to recognize who or to where these ideas belong. Learn to say NO to bad ideas. Before you start an endevour that will use a large chunk of your time or resources, identify the source of the idea. Most ideas are not good nor worthy of your time. Everyone has a friend that is well meaning, but is full of bad ideas (if you cannot recognize that person in your group you may need to look at yourself). Once you see that this friend is feeding you bad ideas, you can categorically scrap these ideas. Instead of accepting every idea, we must filter them. Tracing each ideas origin give clues as to weather there are perverse incentives built into them. Things like advertisements (hidden or not) that seek profits through consumerism. There is no avoiding Ads, it is the way of Capitalism. Recognizing them as Advertisements helps combat the FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out). Media Influencers are idea kryptonite that will waste your time on a epic level. Evaluate, curate, collate, terminate subscriptions from these people on a regular basis ...or they will steal your time because you like them. Every creator has something valuable to say, but after they have contributed that you may find that they are stuck in the mode of making content for views and not really adding anything to the conversation. They have literally peaked, and when their content no longer serves you...that is the time to cut them loose. Set goals (at least these are your ideas that don't have perverse incentives baked in and if they don't work you won't feel bad about pursuing them). Dig deeper: The reality is that even things that you think are your thoughts have an origin that is not you and come from your environment. This is not to say don't do anything, but rather be deliberate in the things you do... so that you don't go to college chasing a degree that you are not interested in because someone else made that plan for you. Journaling is the best way to discover who you are and build an internal conversation on what you want. In this way you will record your thoughts so that you can compare who you are tomorrow with who you were yesterday. Write about your successes and failures, and include things that may have improved your outcome. So many people are shunned by failure and view it as a label that applies to them forever, when it is actually a stepping stone on the path to success. Notice the people that only post their success on the interweb (perfection is an impossible standard and usually a facade), you will learn more from the people that post their failures. Write about your failure, it is something people won't try to take away from you and something you can own. Do your research: Once you know what to do, researching how to do it will improve your success. Chances are that someone else had a similar idea, learn from their failures. When you reexamine your goals apply the 3 Socratic questions 1. Is it True 2. Is it Good 3. Is it Useful. Is it True? Does what you wrote qualify as a goal? In order to be a goal it must be achievable (No pipe dreams). It has be be something that you really want to be truly your goal. Is it Good? It cannot involve theft, lies, or murder and be good. When it's beautiful it's probably good. Is it Useful? Does your goal make the world a better place? We should all endevour so high and summit monument tasks, but even small things like picking up trash qualify as useful. Once you apply this skill to your life you will be more satisfied with the time that you have spent, knowing that you left things better than you found them.

I used to have 1,000 different hobbies until I started working for a bank. 😂 they made me do every task, every job, every role because I was great at multitasking. With perfection, no failures, Until I got burnt out and quit. When I want to jump from hobby to hobby, I just remind myself of the corporate days… it’ll pull me right back to reality. 😂 great video!

Slowing down while reading is a good point, unless the author is linking chapters together like a list I always put the book down and walk around talking to myself about the chapter, otherwise the next chapter essentially overwrites the previous.

Everything seems like it's slapped together and the people who make it don't care that it looks slapped together. "Perfectionist" is word made up by a lazy guy to excuse his laziness. Put in the effort and do it right.

How is it 'slapped together?' You say 'do it right,' and yet it works for me and gets the writing done. I know it's not perfect, but its a better route than jerking off with 20 different plugins and workflow steps.

It’s fascinating how we both developed the exact same system without ever meeting each other. I call this system Daybits. Every day, I do six of them. Train, Ride (Skateboarding), Perform (Guitar and Piano) and later in the day Read, Write, Compose. My output is Tricks, Books and Songs. It has proved to be a very effective system and it greatly improves the quality of my life.

I think most of us watching this video have all been there. We’re living in an age of the second reinassance, where accessible technology enables anyone learn anything. My take on this is simple: love and work over fame and fortune. Do what makes you happy and have a good time. Do not worry about getting rich and famous along the way. That is not the measure of a good life.
