Over the past several months I’ve become a lot more selective about what’s apps I allow notifications from and also what apps I keep on my phone period. Intentionality is key.

    A video about your thoughts on 9-5s and maybe people who are successful with their 9-5 jobs. I have an 8-5, and I don’t mind it. Although I wish I didn’t have to work that many hours. I just started the job but I hope that eventually I’m able to ask for fewer hours or get fridays off.
    Or maybe a video about different insurance types and how to find the best ones out there. Or a video about your current investments and how you’re handling the current state of things with inflation and stuff.

    I was most surprised by your black background, it feels extreme, like some sort of subconscious self-punishment being rationalized. Those live 3D moving backgrounds really do drain the battery but a simple image, come on! why not have an image that is inspiring or motivating or simply pleasant to look at? Self-punishment can become so ingrained that you actually convince yourself it's a self-improvement strategy. What do you think?
