The man asks: -Will it be like this all my life? A succession of laundry to wash and dry. A string of food to cook and dishes to wash. Week after week, non-stop. Day after day, year after year. No respite. No rest. And the mountain responds: -The cycles are sacred. The rituals are repetitive because God expresses himself geometrically in the circles. God is a circle. The routines you perform are not an exponential line to nowhere. Routines are your circles. Every time you put the folded clean clothes in the closet you close a circle. That's the point of the seeming meaninglessness of repetition. We imitate the seasons. We imitate God.
The man needs to downsize his collection of possessions if he feels like maintaining it has become a chore. You do not need a metaphor for God to come to that conclusion. I respect the poetic nature of this, but I think the grandiose is wasted on topics like this. If your clothes feel like a mountain to be scaled again and again, your dishes feel like a never-ending line, and you're finding self-hygeine to be exhausting, you are probably depressed or simply stretched way too thin. Downsize a bit, reevaluate where you're spending your energy, and know when to take a step back if possible.
Don't change the channel name! I love seeing a new video and saying "IT'S NOAH TIME!" and then I giggle and feel less bad about how I struggle to do all my chores with my extremely full schedule - I get the important ones done! Just the chill talk through, no hype music, no hype pacing, just calm cleaning time. It's extremely good.
K.c. Davis's book "how to keep house while drowning" was a huge help for me refraining those seemingly endless tasks. She suggests viewing them as a cycle instead of a single task. So instead of "I have to do this again???" it becomes "oh I'm in this part of the cycle right now."
Hard agree! That book totally changed my mindset about why we do tasks too. Instead of thinking about cleaning as a “ugh I have to do it” thing, it’s now something I do because I deserve to have a clean environment I’m comfortable in. Game changer for sure, and an easy read for those of us with short attention spans :)
I hate ants so much but also?? I love their little clothesline highway?? They're just lil dudes on a mission!! It's a busy day in the Ant Metropolis!! 👜👜
Hi noah, i've just come across your channel recently, and since then, every morning watched your videos while eating breakfast. My mom, who doesn't speak english, joins me just because she is amazed that a guy is doing chores for his family. You're the highlight of our days 🫶
massive ocd flare up this past year due to other mental health issues, the gentle, kind distraction and reminder to take care of myself and my space really is welcome. Sending lots of love to you
If taking care of yourself is forever (it is if you’re alive), then chores kinda are forever… Reframe. You don’t do chores for yourself in the moment, you do them for your future self to be able to look back and go “omg, I’m so cool doing this ahead of time for me so that I can just chill rn.”
Maintaining your space is also protecting your energy. Helps keep depressive people from spiraling to see that they have tangible impacts on their environment and ARE capable of taking care of themselves.
Chores aren't forever, but tasks are. Weeding my garden is a chore, but it doesn't feel like one. Meanwhile every minute spent in the restaurant I work in feels like a Sisyphusian chore. Labor is the issue, not effort.
At the pizza place where I used to work I once used office supplies and receipt paper to put up a colorful little drawing of Sisyphus pushing up his boulder with the Camus quote, "One must imagine Sisyphus happy." I don't work there anymore, but as far as I know the drawing is still up there by the register.
Interesting. I'd say it the other way. Because, to me, chores are the things we do that's basically for out life's upkeep but tasks are the actual things we do. Chores are series of tasks that one does indefinitely (which forever as far as we know) but not all tasks are chores. It's interesting how differently terms like chore and task can be defined. I know chores are often framed as the things that just kinda suck to do, but that's everything to me 🤦🏻♀️😂 Personal perspective's a helluva dr-g ig
I like your main channel content, but I also like when you aren’t melting your brain by taking constant waves of psychic damage from doing main channel videos. It’s cool that you’re making content you enjoy making, that’s good vibes 💪😎
I love the doing chores arch this channel is going through. I don’t watch Noah’s main channel but I watched the shower cleaning video and subscribed and I’m pleasantly surprised to see more chore and ramble content.
Since you like Auri, maybe check out Midwest Magic Cleaning if you haven't yet. He does the cleaning for free videos, but also sometimes like painting and repairs in a way that's a lot more attainable than typical home renovation content.
You have shown so much nuance about chores, exercise, diet, and work cultures, I am grateful. I tend to lean more in compulsions (legit OCD) and you are helping me build a healthier relationship to these things. Ultimately that is more sustainable. I hope exploring your ideas about areas of self-improvement gets you where you want to be.
I'm going to save this one because it's like a personal pep talk. I literally have a leaning tower of Pisa in dish form and HAVE to do laundry today. I have to do it coin-op too.
it sucks but you gotta. loundry, dishes, cooking, eating, sleeping, pooping, sweeping, mopping, polka-dotting, country rocking, dusting, hanging out with friends, going on walks (if you can), heck even just staying alive. all these things have two things in common: they suck and one day they're not gonna suck as bad anymore
I was served this channel having never heard of your main channel and I'm obsessed with your videos here. I like your approach to cleaning and talking about your own problems and view of things in a kind of light way. Cleaning can be a chore, but it doesnt have to be. Having a clean living space helps a lot with achieving other goals. I'm apt to procrastinate other tasks with cleaning so the better I am at keeping things clean in the first place, the less mental strain I suffer from having constant clutter and mess everywhere in my house.
hi noah, this channel started getting recommended to me earlier this week and i wanted to let you know how much i appreciate it. i had a rough break up at the start of this month & it triggered a depressive episode i haven’t fully crawled out of. my apartment’s gotten really messy but i started watching your videos and ordered some cleaning supplies a few days ago. i’m getting a little bit done every day, not much but it’s something. whatever direction you choose to go, you’ve made some cool stuff man. thank you
About the question “are chores forever?” The answer to that is of course yes. But i think framing the question that way makes it have an undercurrent of hopelessness and exhaustion, which makes it the wrong question to ask if you want things to improve. Thinking of doing chores like you are Sisyphus pushing a boulder up a mountain is only going to make you feel like chores are torture. Personally i’d rather think of chores like washing your hair for example. Is it a never ending task? Yes in that your hair will always get dirty and need to be washed again in the future. But also no, you finished the task, right now your hair is clean, you can go do something else now. I’m not sure if can word this very clearly in english but what i’m trying to say is, if chores make you feel like you’re doing something pointless and never ending you should examine those feelings and determine if you might be looking at 1 big pile of laundry but feel like you are seeing an infinite pile of laundry and exhaustion. Staying in that feeling of “nothing changes no matter how hard i work, i’m tired, i will always be tired”will make every chore too big to comprehend and make it too overwhelming. Essentially a pebble starts to weigh the same as a boulder. So what helped me was making tasks smaller! Make them casual and low stakes! Do little things in the now so it’ll be easier in the future. Empty the top part of the dishwasher while you wait for your cup noodles to heat up, empty the reservoir of the dryer after brushing your teeth, clean the floor of your room for 8 minutes and then go play a video game~ just little things to help chip away at the metaphorical boulder. There’s lots of other things that helped me but i already rambled a lot so i’ll spare us both this time lol. I hope i didn’t sound super preachy because i also really struggle with taking care of myself and my home. I have Adhd, Ocd and a bunch of other thingies that makes things unbearably difficult, but because i struggle so much i have found out what i do that made things worse and what i can do that lowers the difficulty of my struggles. I want to remind folks that there are options that might make things easier. Don’t give up! Chores are forever but so are the things that can make you happy and fulfilled! There’s always something to do and that can be terrifying and hopeful in equal measure! And sometimes all you really need to do is be nice to yourself and rest.❤
Eventually i will look into your main channel (and most likely subscribe) but for the moment im enjoying the “man talking to a fly on the wall” pov. Jokes aside, you seem very genuine and it makes me feel less awkward and weird for being the way i am, so thanks
I'm so happy that there is someone else I can relate to when it comes to laundry. I live in an apartment complex with a single coin washer and dryer for 8 units. That isn't so bad, but it's tough washing a load when someone is already using the washer and it's tough drying a load when the dryer doesn't work. So I end up taking my clothes to the laundromat. But I hate taking my clothes to the laundromat, even though it's just down the street from me. The act of pulling out cash, hauling my laundry, getting quarters out of said cash, loading, waiting, and turning over into the dryer, waiting, and either folding/stuffing clothes into the basket to be immediately folded at home to prevent wrinkles; it's the bane of my existence. I've even contemplated getting a mini portable washer for light loads (I work in healthcare, so the thought of dirty scrubs hanging out in a basket until laundry day makes me feel like a scrub) but with being in a small-ish apartment, it's not feasible. So to the laundromat twice a month it is.... I'm just happy someone shares the same sentiments about laundry as me 😂
Towards the end of your video today I was overwhelmed with a strong feeling. It was very nice but also in a way made me sad. I've been depressed for a long time and have been isolating recently. I think I had an overwhelming feeling of longing. It felt like I was hanging out with a friend as they tidy up a bit around their home, and it felt so nice. It felt really good to be in the company of a safe friend. That's what this channel has been for me now that I am thinking about it. Thanks Noah.
These videos have really been motivating me man. Just vacuumed + dusted. ADHD and autism makes the routine of cleaning pretty hard to manage for me but watching you makes them feel more doable. And the exercise vids help me feel better about how I work out, it doesn't have to be perfect so long as I'm doing something.
I'm currently dealing with the three laundry baskets of clothes but we don't have a dryer that works since the fuse-box sucks and the landlord wont get a modern one and it blows every time we use it. Just a lot of effort to hang all the clothes to dry then fold them after school and work sucks. But also doing better and getting it done now and just doing it cuz I deserve a clean home and don't need to waste away.
hey lol I do the hanger pull move everytime too. i keep thinkin, one of these days the metal hanger is gunna fly off and take out my eyeball when i do that
Damn, I’ve never commented on a YT video before, but felt compelled to let you know that yer vids are refreshing, and fills my space with company when things get too quiet or lonely. Thank ya!!!
A rly easy healthy good for ur tummy thing to make to perhaps branch out yet keep it simple and cheap is kichari! Rice & lentils & spices & whatever veggies you got, takes maybe 30 min. U just gotta soak the lentils the night before but I find when I have em soaking in the fridge the next day I have to make it and it’s always satisfying. I’ve rly enjoyed cooking for myself more, p much every meal these days!
I've been a subscriber of your "main" channel for awhile but recently have found myself growing tired of commentary videos I'm so glad you made this channel so much I love listening to your take on small everyday stuff while cleaning the change I've been looking for but from a familiar friendly face!
You were in my dream last night! I ran into you at a drag show in Vernon of all places and we talked about ADHD and chores for a while. If I didn't say so in Dreamland, my partner and I are loving this second channel. It's motivational and normalizing a whole bunch of healthy attitudes. So thanks!
I’m in nursing school right now and I have really bad adhd and I always feel very alone in my experience, because all of my peers seem to have it together, while I’m struggling to even brush my teeth everyday, and if I tell people that, they think I’m gross or I’m over exaggerating, I wish people understood that I don’t want to be like this. My brain works against my body’s best interests. Anyways thank you for making me feel less alone and giving me motivation to snap out of my adhd paralysis lol.
These videos helped me get my room clean after 4 months and gave me something to think about that felt like a conversation I didn’t have to commit to. Fantastic
Just found this channel a few days ago and have watched all of the videos multiple times while doing various things. You have a fantastic voice-- super easy to listen to-- I feel like I'm just listening to an ol' pal when watching your videos. I look forward to more of these videos :-)
I loved being taken to look at the walkin ants and the soup rice sink and the sweeping sweeping, it is so very 'This is my first day on the earth and i am learning' sort of good old feeling. Thanks noah Also adhd tip: 'mentally categorising' your trash as you get up to clean helps, like "how many bottles are in here of this shape, how many bowls that are this size etc." Little brain hacks to create games and rhythms 🎉
I recently purchased a countertop dishwasher and it's helped so much! I still have to wash my larger dishes but I'm grateful that some of my energy has been saved for other things. The cycle on the dishwasher often takes longer than if I had washed the dishes by hand but I'm saving water and saving my own energy. Highly recommend for folks who rent and can't install a dishwasher
I love the pace of these, they help me time my chores and exercising well recently. I agree with the zippy content - it looks nice but it stresses me out!
Hey Noah, thank you for proving to me that dudes named Noah can be nice and normal- I was a woman scorned. Honestly you give me hope that I will find a dude who cares as much as I do about being conscientious in general. I’ve always dated boys who seem to need a babysitter. I also need lots of motivation as a woman with ADHD and these videos have gotten me back to exercising and stretching for atleast 10 minutes while I watch.
I recently found noah time and I love the channel name and content!! I didn’t realize you had a main channel haha I like these lowkey videos and like many others are saying it’s great for body doubling
noah you inspire me a lot!! i never engage with youtube comment sections, feel very disillusioned with online community sometimes, but this is good stuff for my ears, so i will b listening, i heart this goblin cave
@@bonghitsandheavyriffs the clothesline is unfortunately inside (inside the room where the furnace and hot water heater are) so there probably isn't much danger of ants. Not much danger of the clothes smelling deliciously of wind and sunshine, either.
If the powder is diatomaceous earth or borax, bugs won't develop a resistance to it because it kills in other ways. Also, I like to empty all the wet soggy stuff in my sink drain into my worm composting bin because the worms really love how soft and soggy the texture is.
addressing the question on the title: i think you only stress about never ending chores when you don’t have anything else to do, dealing with self detrimental stuff, or you aren’t fulfilled with anything that is going on on your life… contrary to the current feelings towards chores, they free-up a lot of time and space (mentally and otherwise) so many people without a fulfilling life might lead them to “now what?”. maybe a lot of people feeling discouraged by their current situations of their life gives their “endless chores” and complaining about them a sense of purpose -one day i might do everything i have to do- but really it’s not about finishing all the chores for one day. maybe when you have something to strive for, no matter how small or big may be, chores are just an afterthought that you just do to have time for the other things happening in your life that gives you greater meaning… but anyways, good luck with the ants tho, xo… A.
i remember when i first ran into your videos and i was like who is this guy using maplestory ost. turns out we had the same childhood of playing Audition too
starting to think I have ADHD, or have been thinking this for like a couple years, and these videos have been helping me when I get into that paralyzed state where I can't do anything for days or weeks. Like no bullshit, here's how to "establish healthy habits" nonsense doesn't work on me. I can't do habits. Habits suck. But I can sometimes talk myself into doing a chore if I realize it's gonna make me feel better to have gotten something done. Today I cleaned the bathroom. And it sucked. But I played some tunes and got it done and now I do feel better. shocking.
In Texas, we used to feed them malt-o-meal or cream of wheat because apparently they'll eat it and it expands in their bellies and then they basically explode. No clue if it works. Diatomaceous earth, though, I think that does.
I honestly can't wait to live in the car again for a bit. Wipe my debt and no chores! When I was forced to live in the car in worse circumstances before, that was probably the most productive time of my life. Because once I get my laundry done at the mat, and organized my car space, that was it.
Hi! I don`t know your main channel, I`m here because you inspire me to make chores, because I hate it so much. And accidently I matches with your mindset and really relate to the thing that you like to talk while doing stuff as me and boom you`re ADHD as I am, so I hope it somehow help to your statistic
Omg I never thought I'd hear someone reference that Nexon dancing game in 2024! Memories~ It was called Audition Online if anyone else wants to look it up. It was a trip.
The man asks:
-Will it be like this all my life? A succession of laundry to wash and dry. A string of food to cook and dishes to wash. Week after week, non-stop. Day after day, year after year. No respite. No rest.
And the mountain responds:
-The cycles are sacred. The rituals are repetitive because God expresses himself geometrically in the circles. God is a circle. The routines you perform are not an exponential line to nowhere. Routines are your circles. Every time you put the folded clean clothes in the closet you close a circle. That's the point of the seeming meaninglessness of repetition. We imitate the seasons. We imitate God.

That's an interesting description of capitalism

Spent several years schlepping my clothes to the laundromat. Absolutely hated it lol. I'm always so grateful for in-home washer dryers
I'm so happy that there is someone else I can relate to when it comes to laundry. I live in an apartment complex with a single coin washer and dryer for 8 units.

I've been a subscriber of your "main" channel for awhile but recently have found myself growing tired of commentary videos I'm so glad you made this channel so much I love listening to your take on small everyday stuff while cleaning the change I've been looking for but from a familiar friendly face!
respect for the maplestory and audition call out
You were in my dream last night! I ran into you at a drag show in Vernon of all places and we talked about ADHD and chores for a while.
If I didn't say so in Dreamland, my partner and I are loving this second channel. It's motivational and normalizing a whole bunch of healthy attitudes. So thanks!
I’m in nursing school right now and I have really bad adhd and I always feel very alone in my experience, because all of my peers seem to have it together, while I’m struggling to even brush my teeth everyday, and if I tell people that, they think I’m gross or I’m over exaggerating, I wish people understood that I don’t want to be like this. My brain works against my body’s best interests. Anyways thank you for making me feel less alone and giving me motivation to snap out of my adhd paralysis lol.
These videos helped me get my room clean after 4 months and gave me something to think about that felt like a conversation I didn’t have to commit to. Fantastic
Just found this channel a few days ago and have watched all of the videos multiple times while doing various things. You have a fantastic voice-- super easy to listen to-- I feel like I'm just listening to an ol' pal when watching your videos. I look forward to more of these videos :-)
youtube suggested ur videos to me while i was watching other people do chores bc it helps me also do chores and yours are my fav by far i think 🙏🏻
no joke though, ur videos have been motivating me to do my chores. its like having a buddy doing laundry together and its sick, i appreciate you
I loved being taken to look at the walkin ants and the soup rice sink and the sweeping sweeping, it is so very 'This is my first day on the earth and i am learning' sort of good old feeling. Thanks noah
Also adhd tip: 'mentally categorising' your trash as you get up to clean helps, like "how many bottles are in here of this shape, how many bowls that are this size etc." Little brain hacks to create games and rhythms 🎉
I recently purchased a countertop dishwasher and it's helped so much! I still have to wash my larger dishes but I'm grateful that some of my energy has been saved for other things. The cycle on the dishwasher often takes longer than if I had washed the dishes by hand but I'm saving water and saving my own energy. Highly recommend for folks who rent and can't install a dishwasher
one of the things i have to tell myself all the time is that the never ending to do list is how i know im still alive
I love the pace of these, they help me time my chores and exercising well recently. I agree with the zippy content - it looks nice but it stresses me out!
Hey Noah, thank you for proving to me that dudes named Noah can be nice and normal- I was a woman scorned. Honestly you give me hope that I will find a dude who cares as much as I do about being conscientious in general. I’ve always dated boys who seem to need a babysitter. I also need lots of motivation as a woman with ADHD and these videos have gotten me back to exercising and stretching for atleast 10 minutes while I watch.
This content is so much fun, been enjoying it every day!
I recently found noah time and I love the channel name and content!! I didn’t realize you had a main channel haha I like these lowkey videos and like many others are saying it’s great for body doubling
i was having a little trouble getting up and getting my day started today, but this helped. thanks noah!
ur videos are like a nice pat on the back, i just feel validated
Thank you for the skip info for the bogs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rly appreciate!
New favorite chores influencer just dropped
noah you inspire me a lot!! i never engage with youtube comment sections, feel very disillusioned with online community sometimes, but this is good stuff for my ears, so i will b listening, i heart this goblin cave
first time i watched ur videos u were doing chores and now it's my second time and youre still doing chores but on a nicer (greener) setting
Thank you Noah. I needed this today. ❤️
youre so cool im glad this channel exists
The child/teen addicted to Maplestory to adult addicted to LoL pipeline remains undefeated
Noah, it’s such a comforting watch and the thumbnail is awesome 😂
I don't have anything helpful or interesting to say, I just like these videos they're calming. Hope you're having a good day
Noah, my dryer died this week and this was the content I needed to see! Going to go wash my clothes and hang them on the clothesline.
just check for ants
@@bonghitsandheavyriffs the clothesline is unfortunately inside (inside the room where the furnace and hot water heater are) so there probably isn't much danger of ants. Not much danger of the clothes smelling deliciously of wind and sunshine, either.
i enjoy the trajectory this channel is taking
i love this content so much
If the powder is diatomaceous earth or borax, bugs won't develop a resistance to it because it kills in other ways.
Also, I like to empty all the wet soggy stuff in my sink drain into my worm composting bin because the worms really love how soft and soggy the texture is.
addressing the question on the title: i think you only stress about never ending chores when you don’t have anything else to do, dealing with self detrimental stuff, or you aren’t fulfilled with anything that is going on on your life… contrary to the current feelings towards chores, they free-up a lot of time and space (mentally and otherwise) so many people without a fulfilling life might lead them to “now what?”. maybe a lot of people feeling discouraged by their current situations of their life gives their “endless chores” and complaining about them a sense of purpose -one day i might do everything i have to do- but really it’s not about finishing all the chores for one day. maybe when you have something to strive for, no matter how small or big may be, chores are just an afterthought that you just do to have time for the other things happening in your life that gives you greater meaning… but anyways, good luck with the ants tho, xo… A.
i'm enjoying the series a lot
just wanted to say i watch these while doing work/chores and I’ve realized it’s kinda become parasocial body doubling 😭 thank you noah
I am LOVING your videos.
Really happy I found your page
Loving this second channel content so much 👏
I am one of the people that didn't know you had a main channel, hello!
I honestly not vibe much with your main channel. But this? Absolutely ASMR.
4:00 finally someone talking about the real issues
Thank you for the perfect background noise to me doing the dishes
your home looks super awesome
I don't know your Main Channel and I kinda like it that way too, thank you for the chores 🤙🏻
Love the videos mr. Time!
"tasks, you just gotta do them" like in amongus, it's just like amongus.
I love your hair & mustache sir. I'm a new subbie!
Yeah... your channel is awesome 🙏
Auri Katariina mentioned 🖤
i remember when i first ran into your videos and i was like who is this guy using maplestory ost. turns out we had the same childhood of playing Audition too
I have no idea what your main channel is. And I'm definitely a goblin that just wandered up to the cave
starting to think I have ADHD, or have been thinking this for like a couple years, and these videos have been helping me when I get into that paralyzed state where I can't do anything for days or weeks. Like no bullshit, here's how to "establish healthy habits" nonsense doesn't work on me. I can't do habits. Habits suck. But I can sometimes talk myself into doing a chore if I realize it's gonna make me feel better to have gotten something done. Today I cleaned the bathroom. And it sucked. But I played some tunes and got it done and now I do feel better. shocking.
In Texas, we used to feed them malt-o-meal or cream of wheat because apparently they'll eat it and it expands in their bellies and then they basically explode. No clue if it works. Diatomaceous earth, though, I think that does.
Just found your channel and you’re funny asf. Subbed
I do the hanger thing too, 😅
I honestly can't wait to live in the car again for a bit. Wipe my debt and no chores! When I was forced to live in the car in worse circumstances before, that was probably the most productive time of my life. Because once I get my laundry done at the mat, and organized my car space, that was it.
Hi! I don`t know your main channel, I`m here because you inspire me to make chores, because I hate it so much. And accidently I matches with your mindset and really relate to the thing that you like to talk while doing stuff as me and boom you`re ADHD as I am, so I hope it somehow help to your statistic
Omg I never thought I'd hear someone reference that Nexon dancing game in 2024! Memories~
It was called Audition Online if anyone else wants to look it up. It was a trip.
you need to season that wok!
RIP Grandpa. ❤
i love noah time : )
one must imagine sisyphus happy

Ants may be edible, yes. But I would not recommend eating the death-by-poison ants on your counter lol
