My 2 actions: •journal about what identity I want to adopt •start asking “What would make this task 5% more enjoyable?” everytime I need to do something that causes me resistance Great video, Izzy 🥰 keep it up!
This video really resonates with me! I love the idea of embracing productivity while maintaining a softer, more balanced approach to life. These tips are practical and inspiring-thanks for sharing!
As a natural workaholic with a history of ME/CFS, I personally find that there are no other words that make me feel more stressed and angry than "productivity," "opportunities" and "accountability buddies" - due to all of these pushing me toward feeling that I am being pressured to accomplish more than I am reasonably able and that therefore trigger danger warnings in my brain. The idea of purposefully making it a goal to try to enjoy the process more, with the possibility (though not the expectation) that this may actually result in increased quality/quantity of work accomplished, does feel positive to me, on the other hand. The reminder that productivity does not necessarily mean doing more things, and that instead it may be better accomplished in a lot of cases by doing fewer things, also resonated with me. ❤
Ah, the idea of an "energy log" is really new to me, I will give that a try (and make it an "action point" do start right now)! Heard the focus on identity alignment rather than discipline before and embrace it wholeheartedly. Love the overall positivity of this video!
I have to say, I did like this video. A lot of the attitudes discussed can be extremely beneficial for the overall well-being of oneself as well as the ability for one to be more supportive of their surroundings in general.
Izzy helped me get throughout senior high, ima definitely breeze through college, i managed to break my bad habits and build progressive habits which is helping me a lot. Thanks a ton Izzy!! A literal godsend 🙏🤞✨
Hi Izzy love your videos.Your British accent.Listening to our interoception, Health is wealth absolutely,I am going to the gym 2-3times a week walking daily and eating healthy diets❤
Thats definitely the approach I'm going for this year after alightly burning out in march last year 😂 As a person with a 30 day cycle (a woman with periods) i find it difficult to motivate myself and be in the "go go go" mode 2 weeks!!! Per month. So watching this video makes me feel better about not being mega productive at the expense of my well being ❤
Hi Izzy, I've watched your videos about study techniques, studying without burning out and they helped me a lot! Thank you! I wanted to know if you are interested in making a tutorial how you read scientic papers properly or what techniques you use. Because I often find myself too overwhelmed which information I need and the perfectionist in me kicks in, and I read all 20 pages of a paper instead the most important ones. It doesn't feel right if I don't read all xD Maybe you struggle(d) with perfectionism, too, and could relate. XO, Noelle
It’s interesting… I am 53 and when I look back at my life I have been a high achiever but I can’t for the life of me make myself do anything! I do what I love and I love what I do. I can’t drag my ass to the gym but I have run 8 marathons. I don’t know why or how.
Please make a video on the vision board and a 10-year sketch and also a 3Y sketch I will be waiting for you when you give a lecture in live cohort with your life patner
economically i don't think many people understand that zero states can be a thing of flux throughout one's career. guild systems is a practice that gives compensation in zero states. #isolatedsocialism

I spent some time cleaning my desk Friday which enabled me, Monday, to get through five hours of doing my elderly mothers caregivers payroll taxes.

Excellent suggestion from my selfish point of view ;) I would definitely watch such a video!!
