"do the thing" is unironically such good advice. often we get so caught up in how we feel at the moment, what we want to do, what wed rather do, why do anything at all, all of these roundabout thoughts that excuse us from starting. all you really need to have an enjoyable life is to expose yourself, every day, to uncomfortable things for a purpose greater than your own desires. why exercise every day? isnt that just to look hot? well, no, imagine if everyone exercised every day, how good we would all feel, how much clarity and peace of mind would permeate culture, even at a small scale. you doing an activity like that contributes to a collective greater good, even if you dont know what that means yet. its all a means of creating a distance from the part of you that says "i want something... what do i want?" and connecting yourself with the part that says "what do i need, what allows me to provide value to the world around me, how do i become better than i was yesterday?"
"Do the thing everyday" strictness was my downfall when I first started working out :( I got way too sad/guilty/disappointed etc. when I missed days due to overwhelming school + work loads or when I was too depressed. I felt so bad about not doing the thing consistently or perfectly enough that I just stopped doing it at all to avoid that feeling. (Especially when rise & grind-ers are all for "always making time to work out no matter what, stop making excuses") Point is!!! Be as consistent as your own circumstances allow - you're still building up healthy habits even if its not for everyday. Missing a day or two is OK... as long as you keep trying :)
For sure, stumbling happens when you're trying to improve yourself or accomplish something important to you. Perfect is the enemy of good. No need to be perfect, just do the best you can and keep doing it!
Love this advice. Much healthier and easier to follow a diet or exercise routine when you don't beat yourself up for failing it once or twice. Every day is a new chance to keep improving
Love to hear Noah describe the small things so many of us experience too. That little spike of fear and anticipation when you about to turn on the light is so real
hey bestie, fruit flies and gnats often breed in the build up of your drain. to combat the population, i suggest dumping about 1/4 cup of coarse salt and boiling water down all of your drains to clear out any eggs and breeding grounds. hope this helps
A few things: make your fried rice grannies have been doing so for generations, and nobody died from those tasty recipes. For a quicker cleaning result with soaking you could used boiled water, and when your ready to wash just add cool from the tap. Also the method of baking soda down the drain followed with vinegar, then rinse with boiled water may help your drain fly problem and keeps the pipes unclogged is done monthly/bi-monthly. They also have glass fly traps where you put vinegar in them and it will attract the flies, also kills them. So a more eco friendly solution to that problem. Anyway great content, and it's motivating me to do a little more movement (calling it exercise seems semi-dishonest)! 👍🏽
i was a "mean girl" in middle school bc of the ppl i surrounded myself with. not afraid to admit it ig (also not a nurse) but then i became really reserved and shy throughout high school, but at least i was nice to everyone
03:40 'What wastes more water, a shower or bath?" The answer is real simple: It's all relative. 🚿Do you run the shower for one minute to get yourself soaked first? (approx. 225 fl oz or 6,5 liters per minute). To then turn off the shower, wash the body from head to toe thoroughly? To turn on the tab at *full force* for 3 minutes to rinse. That is about 775 fl.oz (approx. 23 liters) for 1 person. Or do you keep running the shower all the way until you have finished showering? 🛀 The average bathtub uses approximately 5072 fl oz (US), or 150 liters to fill. Once all the dirt has come off, a shower often follows. If you take a shower after the bath for 2 minutes straight on full force to rinse, you will use a total average of 5800 fl oz (US) or 165 liters for 1 person. Not so Fun Fact from my hometown: Decades after WW2, a lot of families still used one filled bathtub to bath a whole family in the same bath water to save on water. The most filthy person was the last one to use the bathtub. So, yeah. It's all 👨👩👧👧, pun intended😉
When he said “I’m afraid of the dark” I thought “damn so am I, except when I enter a dark room I feel like there’s gonna be a monster or some jump scare but no one else on earth experiences that besides me”. And then he said that shit…
Love the paralleling. Thank you, Noah. Also, the mean girl to nurse trope is not really true lol (im in my 9th year as a RN). I would argue that my colleagues are some of the most intelligent and compassionate people I know. I too know of personal highschool bullies who went into it, but most of my peers in uni were school weirdos and nerds (self identifying). Of course, people will want to anecdote their individual experiences with a "bad" or "mean" nurse, but it's just numbers. There are lots of nurses, and we are on display a lot more than the average job. I reckon people just notice it when someone perceived as "mean" gets into a caring profession because it feels ironic. Why am I saying this? Idk we already have a culture problem in the profession with the perception of "eating" our "young" or that nurses are callous and stupid. This job is weird and difficult (usually for different reasons than the public think) but my colleagues are what hold it together. My fellow nurses make it worth it. They make the difference when the load is heavy and chaotic. They are some of the most valued relationships in my life. It takes one to know one. Sorry for this paragraph on a single passing comment. No shade at all, Noah, just something I read and hear a lot online about. Not usually from nurses however. Being a patient sucks. You're uncomfortable, in pain often, crowded and in a place where rest is impossible due to noise and light. It's no wonder people associate nursing staff with some of that. But we are there to provide treatment, not pacification. Our jobs range from absolutely menial to medically critical. And we are doing this weird task list where we go from medical emergency to cup of tea and can you pass me a tissue in seconds. ADHD and nursing clashes in me a lot. I can change tasks one thousand times a shift. I can spent a minute too long on one and put my time management off for the rest of the shift. Who is there for me in these moments where I want to hide and stress cry are my fellow nurses. Who will take on some of my list or do a med round for one of my patients and make all the difference. Help me catch up when I'm drowning in tasks. Get my head right when everyone's request feels like the most important to them. I often get asked for a cuppa on my way to do something truly gruesome or attend an emergency (medsurg), and I still add that cuppa to my list. Aspiring nurses: don't be discouraged. You don't need to be in love with caring or be a bottomless empathetic pit to be a good nurse. A good nurse is good to nurses. Wow who cares lol. Well past bedtime, clearly.
I literally forced myself to get my a** up and fill up my water bottle while watching this. Drank a litre of water while I watched the video. I'm always dehydrated AF.😅 Thanks for keeping me hydrated Noah.❤️
I’ve really been struggling with getting my adhd diagnosis in my 30s and feeling like I simultaneously have all of the answers but none of the motivation to fix anything. These videos have honestly saved my sanity, and I mean that sincerely. It’s really nice to hear someone else verbalize things you are thinking and struggling with too. I’ve started doing a little bit of physical activity every single day even if it’s only 15 minutes, even if it’s only walking my dog. And honestly it made me try to do other small things every day, like make myself eat breakfast. I’m rambling, but honestly, thank you. I know I’m not the only person you helped with your honesty and perspective. I appreciate you.
It's been the meds that have me moving in the right direction. They're not a magic solution, but they somehow help me to get actually moving. And when I start moving, I keep moving. Not only physically, but mentally as well. Getting diagnosed in my mid-20's and re-engaging with therapy and meds in my late 30's helps me to deal with the negative emotions and countering the feelings of inferiority and unwillingness to engage with life. It's all a matter of perception in the end. Letting go of the self-judgement is hard, though. Some things get ingrained from our younger years and we carry that ballast around for a long long time. Acknowledging that it's ballast and should be treated as such has helped me to put those feelings into a proper perspective. We'll be dealing with this stuff for the rest of our lives. But we'll be fine in the end. Just like Noah. Edit: seems like I ramble too. But if we call it talking, it's all fine. 😂
I was kinda lonely in high school, although I had a couple of friends. I later learned that my classmates joked I was autistic, but I was never diagnosed one way or another. I've just been weird all my life. I dunno. Then I made a bunch of friends through D&d and that was one of the times when I was most social in my life and I made many good memories there. Until they all started getting interested in parties and drinking instead, and there was some drama involving a girl which split the group and I ended up alone again. Even with all the bills, the responsibility of adulthood and the fact I'm slowly getting older and my body is slowly failing me, every day is better for me, simply because it is one day further from my high school period. I do not miss it.
Balancing on the line of being earnest and being ironic/cynical is the only way to survive the human experience under current conditions. Putting it in your content is more honest than choosing one or the other.
thank u for posting you doing everyday activities I am only recently REALIZING just HOW severely disabled I am (i have sleep seizures) & am struggling in confusion until my neurologist overnight stay at the end of this month. Often feeling overwhelmed by doing the dishes or doing yoga which does help me on days when i am physically able to get out of bed. Love to seeeee this type of video tho. Inspiring me to start my own youtube channel with realistic visuals of what life existing as a disabled human entails on good & bad days. ❤
Okay. Take this or leave it, but this is part of how I do dishes. 1) Wetten all dishes. Water is a solvent, so getting some water on tough stuff and leaving it even only for a minute or two will soften most crusts. 2) Soap all dishes. Put a squirt of soap on your sponge, lather it good and use it to spread some soap on all dirty surfaces. Start on the crustiest dishes so they have the longest time to have soap on them. 3) Rinse. Start with the cleanest/easiest stuff and work your way back to the crusty stuff. You may still need to scrub a bit, but it should be less. I've done a lot of dishes for a lot of years, including a fair number without running water, and the only 'better' way to do them is to make a soap/vinegar mix in a spray bottle and use that for the wettening stage. ♥
These vids have been such an unexpected boon, thanks Noah! I stumbled across this channel three days ago when I was in the middle of moving, and the body-doubling has really helped to speed up my unpacking, furniture arranging and whatnot. My new apartment is almost completely set up now! RE: doing dishes, I also hate Food Chunk Water™so what I do is soak each dish individually. Plates I just scrub, but for cups and bowls I put a tiny amount of soap in each one then fill them with water so they get sudsy, and I can set cutlery in them too. This way everything can soak AND I don't have to stick my hands in a basin full of nasty water. It also encourages me to keep up with the dishes because I run out of room in the sink a lot faster. I've been using that method for about 5 years now and it really works for me; I almost never have big pileups of dishes anymore!
About the stickers, I have had a table for 23 years and the paint faded so now it’s covered with stickers that my adhd made me keep since childhood(i’m 33 now) and vacations and gifts and one day I said heck with it and put them all over and overlapped them and now friends mail stickers to me from where they live. It has so many fun and cool things on it. I got a plastic cover to protect them too off amazon. Just something fun to do and it’s been so healing for the decision fatigue I used to suffer with by having all these stickers my whole life in a bag haha💚
I got mercilessly bullied all through middle school but people started to leave me alone when I filled out in highschool bc I got taken off my ADHD meds for a while and they stopped stunting my growth. I was an all A's teacher's pet in high school, I got to be the AP chemistry teacher's student aid, and I was in marching band and quiz bowl. I was the kid you only see at school that buzzes annoyingly from group to group but never really had a clique. Sometimes I'd find myself sitting with the outcasts, then I'd sit with the future engineers and business majors, sometimes I sat with a group of girls who I think could tell I was lbgt and quitely accepted me bc they never had a problem and included me, but I also sat with the hateful chud bros at times, or I'd go out and hang with the emos smoking behind the cafeteria. The only two groups off limits to me were the jocks and the cheerleaders, and even then there was a guy on the Basketball team who I think was secretly gay and had a crush on me (bc he was always super nice to me and was the only person to use a silly shorthand for my name and he was the only person I would ever let use it without correcting him) who would let me sit there if it looked like I wanted to. Although, I found out well after high school that a large part of the student body was legitimately concerned that I was going to end up pulling a columbine or something. I had been bullied to that end several times in freshman year but I hadn't filled out yet. Apparently when people stopped feeling like they could pick on me for my size they started to see me as a threat and recognized how angry I could be over being bullied. So while talking about that one guy I realized "hey maybe he thought it was a good idea to stay friends with me in case I told him not to come to school or something" But no, I think he was gay and I was attracted to him as a woman. The way he looked at me always made me feel some kind of way.
I never really had a specific role in high school (or ever, really). I was one of the top performers in every school I went to, but never really got along with anyone super closely besides my best friend. I dated around, had several personality shifts, and ultimately ended up quite combative (verbally) and anti-authority figures. This was all before my mental health diagnoses, but it definitely lines up. I'm glad I'm at least a little less combative than I once was, but that "strong sense of justice" part of my autism diagnosis really do be hittin sometimes lmao
Hi Noah, I wanted to offer some unsolicited advice on the flies that might help. There’s a chance they could be drain flies instead of fruit flies so I would try focusing on cleaning the drain in your sink for a few days and see if it helps!! I used to have the same problem but once I started treating the drains it helped more than anything else!!
Also your videos have officially inspired me to work on pull ups!! I can get one or two assisted so I started doing some different drills to work up to doing them unassisted!!!
When I was in Highschool I was the quiet shy kid who hid in the art room, Im Glad I can say that I'm much more assertive and have amazing friendships now.
high school me hung out with the marxists, the anarchists, the agitators, the looters, and people who in many instances have no clue what they were doing
Yo, with adhd and meds (I take Vyvanse), multiple doctors asked when I took it, and I said 7am, and they told me that taking it at 7am could AFFECT MY SLEEP! I couldn't imagine taking it at 2pm. You're taking one for the team, Noah 😂
If you use a narrower grip, it’ll be easier to get “chest to bar”, alternatively if you still struggle you may have to work on strength at the top of the range of motion - to do this you can do negative (eccentric) reps by standing on a chair and lowering yourself down from the top of the range of motion (You can totally RUclips negative/eccentric reps) You can also use resistance bands (basically large elastic bands) to help you get quality full range of motion reps (You can totally RUclips this too) Love you from a far dude Thanks for the content
about soaking dishes: i find that what soaking your dishes can do, scraping food off the plate plate right after eating does better about crunches/neck strain: imo try crunches FIRST, core is ass, so i try to get it out of the way first. also if you look to the ceiling while crunching, your neck womt strain as much. hope that helps!
i like it when people remind me to drink water bc otherwise i'll genuinely forget to. its actually a task i have to keep track otherwise ill just be a member of the dehydrated gang when i'm doing a thing i tend to forget to eat/hydrate/go to the bathroom. dont know if thats an adhd thing or just me being a lil creep and not taking care of myself
Just got in from the gym and I’ve been using your videos to get through some spring cleaning. Bc I am someone who body doubling actually works for, these kinda videos do help so thanks for giving me some motivation to keep it up!
in high school my expression was constantly changing, i was definitely a phase-haver. but all those phases brought me closer to who i am today, from cowboy yeehaw to hippie to punk kid
Let me ease your mind on the shower vs bath question, the answer is, like so many things in life, it depends. Feel better? Really though there are multiple variables to consider for something like this. Different shower heads have different flow rates, how much are you filling the tub, how long is your shower? If your shower head is only 1-1.5 gpm and you take a 10 minute shower then that’s not so bad at 10-15 gallons. On the other hand average tubs could be filled with about 70 gallons so even if you’re only filling halfway you’re still more than double the shower example.
I was senior class vp, president of student council, all AP, 2 varsity sports but bad at both of them choir girl in high school. I also worked 15-30 hours a week getting paid garbage. I was incredibly anxious which often made me standoffish and I cried a lot and hated myself for it. Turns out I have adhd and was constantly on the brink of a breakdown. Then I found weed and now I’m nice
First off Noah, Congratulations on your (now more than) 60,000 subs! I love how this channel/community is growing. Like a newborn baby that is almost two months old. With every new upload I see that the number of subs has increased.
Just like a baby that starts crawling and experimenting with it's taste buds, putting anything in it's mouth that seems edible to satisfy it's need for survival. Soon it can hold its own bottle. Afterwards, even tries to connect with his caretakers (community) by rambling and babbling some words and liking comments in the comment section. Not long after, it tries to take its first steps into the wide world of grown ups. Wishing that the now independant being could be a small cute baby again... thinking back at the times that it was in need of our help, support and love in the middle of what once was, a small tight knit community that was created to raise a newborn baby into it's independance.
I just wanted you to know that this noficication came right after one for a video called 'Shaping Tips for Soft or Fearful Dogs to Create Enthusiastic Learners' and now I feel as motivated as I do confused
Tip to fix the top part of your pull ups: after your normal sets are finished, jump up into and start from the position you want to finish in, then slowly let yourself down
These videos do inspire me to try and do a similar style of content focusing on getting the things you need to get done. The idea of talking about yourself and going with the flow of thought seems like a great way to hold yourself accountable as well as try and help others with your story. I also appreciate your talking about the comment about Berserk and going through your "arcs". You gotta hold yourself accountable for your past as well as well as your future and actually think on where you have come from and where you are going. Anyways, thanks for providing this type of content Noah, it's good to have something to listen to/watch to get motivated to take care of yourself.
Internet Shaquille says to fill one bowl with soapy water and just dip your sponge in that (from his video "How to Do Dishes Without Hating Every Moment of It")
Hey if you want a better ab exercise, try doing laying leg raises or hanging knee tucks. They're much easier to make consistent than situps and especially crunches. I also find them to be way more intense (especially the hanging knee tucks). Since you said you were not really feeling your abs, give them a try! :)
Jesus christ I feel so called out by this man. I'm sitting here curled up like a goblin in my own HM Mirra chair with dry mouth will a full bottle of water sitting next to me then he said take a drink I'm a hypocrit and I was like ok I took a drink. Then he went on about the chair and I became aware of how bad my posture was.
I have a tendency to over-think, so it's refreshing when I can quiet my mind and focus on what I want to do right now in this moment. "Do the thing" is really helpful for me I think, I can save all the additional considerations for after I do the thing. Your videos help me focus on what's right in front of me instead of getting distracted by a hundred what ifs. Also, fixing a fucked up sleep schedule sucks I'm so sorry, I hope you can get back on track with minimal sleep deprivation
i'm learning to draw and i really need to be active in some community, probably the one from my class, I know doing the thing is all I can do but on your own learning is kind of hard
If there's something that's crusted on and could use soaking, I put it in the sink and then when I wash my hands the soapy hand water goes in and that soaks it. In my brain that saves water. You still need to wash it properly after, but most of the crusts are soaked off by then
For your pull ups the progression you want is to pull your shoulders back once the bar has reached its initial limit. Retracting your shoulders at that point will effectively pull or push your chest further up into the bar depending where you're looking at it.
To improve your pull-up range you can do this: Stand on a small ladder or box of some kind so you can grab the bar and already have the bar at chest level. Step off the ladder and hang with the bar to your chest then slowly lower yourself down. This is called a negative pull up
What i do with soaking is stack them like a pyramid with the smaller bowls on top of the bigger so that it take up less volume of water, compared to loose in the sink
I can't do push ups or pull ups, still working on it. My trainer had me do something different on the push ups this week that maybe you can use on the pull ups? He had me start all the way down and push up only halfway. Maybe you can use a chair or something to get you all the way up where you want to finish on your pull ups and then just go up and down halfway. See if that helps?
Bro, had the same problem with fruit flies, you gotta boil a big pot of water and pour it down the sink. The flies chill out in the drain till the trashcan comes back
In highschool I am just kinda there, kinda a chameleon in a way. I just observe, see what's happening, and acclimate. I never get mean to people though I don't have time for it and I've received it too much to do it to others. I'm mostly just chilling
For those Bulgarian Split Squats, you don't need to go so deep unless you just need to make it harder. Tip my PT gave me, I have a lot of balance problems with that exercise though.
Fruit flies are attracted to vinegar that is in common cleaning, chemical kind of thing, so you may just have cleaned it and thus attract them to the smell of clean
definitely shower, I could fill my bath twice, it's easy to check, just run yourself a bath with the shower head and time how long it takes to fill, and then time yourself having a shower. for the sink one, same thing you could time how long it takes to fill the sink and then how long you have the tap on when you're rinsing, and then do the dishes the other way and time how long you run the tap. it'd be easy for you too because you're recording it you could time it after :P
18:27 *What type of person you were in High School?* I like that question, thanks for asking us. I was a very eager and serious student, contrary to what you may believe Noah #notmeanandnotbecominganurse but I have yet to see a two minute side plank on each side though -- still rooting for you buddy, you can do it! 💪🏻-- (Where was I, ... oh yeah) Almost always one of the first that raised my hand in class to answer a question. Sometimes the teachers made me wait on purpose that my arm eventually got sore that I had to support my underarm with my other hand. Systematically being skipped by the teachers. Being labeled as 'too quite', 'lives in her own world', 'independent', athletically gifted but sweet and attentive, in their words. *In short:* Polite, well-behaved, quiet, deep, shy yet innocently critical. Among my fellow silent peers I was the actress, the jokester, storyteller, speaking in different accents unprovoked, puzzle solver and loves replicating sounds of home appliances at random to ease my OCD brain. Always weeks ahead on my homework. Always prepared for unplanned tests. Had little to no connection to fake and popular peers, kissing 🍑🍑 for good grades. I was more connected to the fellow quiet and often marginalized classmates that had difficulties learning or understanding for whatever reason. They were and still are the most sweetest and kind souls. Till this day friends for life.
If you want to turbocharge chin ups and pull ups throw some heavy stuff in a backpack. Do you end up with friends who are or probably are ADHD too? I recently realized that most of my long term friends are probably ADHD. We are all a bit older, so only a few of us have been formally diagnosed but it's pretty obvious.
Bro I watched this, partway through I got up and cleaned my dumbbells I forgot about on the floor for 2 years, then I went & grabbed some shopping, then I came back and did some shoulder lifts with the cleaned dumbbells for the last 5 minutes. Apathetic leftist themed lifestyle content, who'da thunk that would be the thing that focuses me up so much.
In highschool I was doing online school (before it was cool) and was the edgey kid to my European gamer friends (shoutout oscar and mia). But I was never like super mean or toxic thank god
I know you don't like doing the pull ups on the bar because it hurts your hands, so one alternative to that (if you still want to do them but it's like a rainy day or something and you can't do pull ups on a tree) is to wrap a towel around the bar and pull yourself up from the two towel handles. Should be a lot easier on your hands

So real. Love watching these videos while I smoke, very nice vibe and usually leads to me doing something productive
exactly
"do the thing" is unironically such good advice. often we get so caught up in how we feel at the moment, what we want to do, what wed rather do, why do anything at all, all of these roundabout thoughts that excuse us from starting. all you really need to have an enjoyable life is to expose yourself, every day, to uncomfortable things for a purpose greater than your own desires. why exercise every day? isnt that just to look hot? well, no, imagine if everyone exercised every day, how good we would all feel, how much clarity and peace of mind would permeate culture, even at a small scale. you doing an activity like that contributes to a collective greater good, even if you dont know what that means yet. its all a means of creating a distance from the part of you that says "i want something... what do i want?" and connecting yourself with the part that says "what do i need, what allows me to provide value to the world around me, how do i become better than i was yesterday?"
We all need a Varrick to remind us to "do the thing, Zhu Li" sometimes.
Very beautifully said
Mean girls DO become nurses! That's so funny.
"Do the thing everyday" strictness was my downfall when I first started working out :(
I got way too sad/guilty/disappointed etc. when I missed days due to overwhelming school + work loads or when I was too depressed. I felt so bad about not doing the thing consistently or perfectly enough that I just stopped doing it at all to avoid that feeling. (Especially when rise & grind-ers are all for "always making time to work out no matter what, stop making excuses")
Point is!!! Be as consistent as your own circumstances allow - you're still building up healthy habits even if its not for everyday. Missing a day or two is OK... as long as you keep trying :)
For sure, stumbling happens when you're trying to improve yourself or accomplish something important to you. Perfect is the enemy of good. No need to be perfect, just do the best you can and keep doing it!
Love this advice. Much healthier and easier to follow a diet or exercise routine when you don't beat yourself up for failing it once or twice. Every day is a new chance to keep improving

03:40 'What wastes more water, a shower or bath?"
The answer is real simple: It's all relative.
🚿Do you run the shower for one minute to get yourself soaked first? (approx. 225 fl oz or 6,5 liters per minute). To then turn off the shower, wash the body from head to toe thoroughly? To turn on the tab at *full force* for 3 minutes to rinse. That is about 775 fl.oz (approx. 23 liters) for 1 person. Or do you keep running the shower all the way until you have finished showering?

Once all the dirt has come off, a shower often follows. If you take a shower after the bath for 2 minutes straight on full force to rinse, you will use a total average of 5800 fl oz (US) or 165 liters for 1 person.
Not so Fun Fact from my hometown: Decades after WW2, a lot of families still used one filled bathtub to bath a whole family in the same bath water to save on water. The most filthy person was the last one to use the bathtub. So, yeah. It's all 👨👩👧👧, pun intended😉
When he said “I’m afraid of the dark” I thought “damn so am I, except when I enter a dark room I feel like there’s gonna be a monster or some jump scare but no one else on earth experiences that besides me”.

They make the difference when the load is heavy and chaotic. They are some of the most valued relationships in my life. It takes one to know one.
Sorry for this paragraph on a single passing comment. No shade at all, Noah, just something I read and hear a lot online about. Not usually from nurses however.
Being a patient sucks. You're uncomfortable, in pain often, crowded and in a place where rest is impossible due to noise and light. It's no wonder people associate nursing staff with some of that. But we are there to provide treatment, not pacification. Our jobs range from absolutely menial to medically critical. And we are doing this weird task list where we go from medical emergency to cup of tea and can you pass me a tissue in seconds.
ADHD and nursing clashes in me a lot. I can change tasks one thousand times a shift. I can spent a minute too long on one and put my time management off for the rest of the shift.
Who is there for me in these moments where I want to hide and stress cry are my fellow nurses. Who will take on some of my list or do a med round for one of my patients and make all the difference. Help me catch up when I'm drowning in tasks. Get my head right when everyone's request feels like the most important to them. I often get asked for a cuppa on my way to do something truly gruesome or attend an emergency (medsurg), and I still add that cuppa to my list.
Aspiring nurses: don't be discouraged. You don't need to be in love with caring or be a bottomless empathetic pit to be a good nurse. A good nurse is good to nurses.
Wow who cares lol. Well past bedtime, clearly.
Yo boys noah time just dropped time to be productive now
I literally forced myself to get my a** up and fill up my water bottle while watching this. Drank a litre of water while I watched the video. I'm always dehydrated AF.😅 Thanks for keeping me hydrated Noah.❤️
When I was in High school I was the funny friend who was less smart than the actual smart kids but smarter than the dumb kids.
noah this made me impulslively get up and clean my entire wardrobe at 11pm so thank you for that:))
I’ve really been struggling with getting my adhd diagnosis in my 30s and feeling like I simultaneously have all of the answers but none of the motivation to fix anything. These videos have honestly saved my sanity, and I mean that sincerely. It’s really nice to hear someone else verbalize things you are thinking and struggling with too. I’ve started doing a little bit of physical activity every single day even if it’s only 15 minutes, even if it’s only walking my dog. And honestly it made me try to do other small things every day, like make myself eat breakfast. I’m rambling, but honestly, thank you. I know I’m not the only person you helped with your honesty and perspective. I appreciate you.
It's been the meds that have me moving in the right direction. They're not a magic solution, but they somehow help me to get actually moving. And when I start moving, I keep moving. Not only physically, but mentally as well.
Getting diagnosed in my mid-20's and re-engaging with therapy and meds in my late 30's helps me to deal with the negative emotions and countering the feelings of inferiority and unwillingness to engage with life. It's all a matter of perception in the end. Letting go of the self-judgement is hard, though. Some things get ingrained from our younger years and we carry that ballast around for a long long time. Acknowledging that it's ballast and should be treated as such has helped me to put those feelings into a proper perspective.
We'll be dealing with this stuff for the rest of our lives. But we'll be fine in the end. Just like Noah.
Edit: seems like I ramble too. But if we call it talking, it's all fine. 😂
I was kinda lonely in high school, although I had a couple of friends. I later learned that my classmates joked I was autistic, but I was never diagnosed one way or another. I've just been weird all my life. I dunno. Then I made a bunch of friends through D&d and that was one of the times when I was most social in my life and I made many good memories there.
Until they all started getting interested in parties and drinking instead, and there was some drama involving a girl which split the group and I ended up alone again.
Even with all the bills, the responsibility of adulthood and the fact I'm slowly getting older and my body is slowly failing me, every day is better for me, simply because it is one day further from my high school period. I do not miss it.
watching this on the train today good sir. choo choo, thank you for the Inspirational Content
Choo choo 🚄 !!!
Balancing on the line of being earnest and being ironic/cynical is the only way to survive the human experience under current conditions.
Putting it in your content is more honest than choosing one or the other.
thank u for posting you doing everyday activities I am only recently REALIZING just HOW severely disabled I am (i have sleep seizures) & am struggling in confusion until my neurologist overnight stay at the end of this month. Often feeling overwhelmed by doing the dishes or doing yoga which does help me on days when i am physically able to get out of bed. Love to seeeee this type of video tho. Inspiring me to start my own youtube channel with realistic visuals of what life existing as a disabled human entails on good & bad days. ❤
Okay. Take this or leave it, but this is part of how I do dishes.
1) Wetten all dishes. Water is a solvent, so getting some water on tough stuff and leaving it even only for a minute or two will soften most crusts.
2) Soap all dishes. Put a squirt of soap on your sponge, lather it good and use it to spread some soap on all dirty surfaces. Start on the crustiest dishes so they have the longest time to have soap on them.
3) Rinse. Start with the cleanest/easiest stuff and work your way back to the crusty stuff. You may still need to scrub a bit, but it should be less.
I've done a lot of dishes for a lot of years, including a fair number without running water, and the only 'better' way to do them is to make a soap/vinegar mix in a spray bottle and use that for the wettening stage.

never felt more like a proud father than seeing you complete a pull up
These vids have been such an unexpected boon, thanks Noah! I stumbled across this channel three days ago when I was in the middle of moving, and the body-doubling has really helped to speed up my unpacking, furniture arranging and whatnot. My new apartment is almost completely set up now!
RE: doing dishes, I also hate Food Chunk Water™so what I do is soak each dish individually. Plates I just scrub, but for cups and bowls I put a tiny amount of soap in each one then fill them with water so they get sudsy, and I can set cutlery in them too. This way everything can soak AND I don't have to stick my hands in a basin full of nasty water. It also encourages me to keep up with the dishes because I run out of room in the sink a lot faster. I've been using that method for about 5 years now and it really works for me; I almost never have big pileups of dishes anymore!
Episode 16 of Noah’s journey to dish washing mastery. Here for it…I go half full basin for wash, half full basin for rinse.
About the stickers, I have had a table for 23 years and the paint faded so now it’s covered with stickers that my adhd made me keep since childhood(i’m 33 now) and vacations and gifts and one day I said heck with it and put them all over and overlapped them and now friends mail stickers to me from where they live. It has so many fun and cool things on it. I got a plastic cover to protect them too off amazon. Just something fun to do and it’s been so healing for the decision fatigue I used to suffer with by having all these stickers my whole life in a bag haha💚
You know, you could keep track of your sponges with permanent marker marks in the corner. No marks: brand new, dishes. 1 mark: sink. etc etc.
Or you could clip the corners with a pair of scissors so the mark doesn’t wear off
I got mercilessly bullied all through middle school but people started to leave me alone when I filled out in highschool bc I got taken off my ADHD meds for a while and they stopped stunting my growth.
I was an all A's teacher's pet in high school, I got to be the AP chemistry teacher's student aid, and I was in marching band and quiz bowl. I was the kid you only see at school that buzzes annoyingly from group to group but never really had a clique. Sometimes I'd find myself sitting with the outcasts, then I'd sit with the future engineers and business majors, sometimes I sat with a group of girls who I think could tell I was lbgt and quitely accepted me bc they never had a problem and included me, but I also sat with the hateful chud bros at times, or I'd go out and hang with the emos smoking behind the cafeteria. The only two groups off limits to me were the jocks and the cheerleaders, and even then there was a guy on the Basketball team who I think was secretly gay and had a crush on me (bc he was always super nice to me and was the only person to use a silly shorthand for my name and he was the only person I would ever let use it without correcting him) who would let me sit there if it looked like I wanted to.
Although, I found out well after high school that a large part of the student body was legitimately concerned that I was going to end up pulling a columbine or something. I had been bullied to that end several times in freshman year but I hadn't filled out yet. Apparently when people stopped feeling like they could pick on me for my size they started to see me as a threat and recognized how angry I could be over being bullied. So while talking about that one guy I realized "hey maybe he thought it was a good idea to stay friends with me in case I told him not to come to school or something"
But no, I think he was gay and I was attracted to him as a woman. The way he looked at me always made me feel some kind of way.
I never really had a specific role in high school (or ever, really). I was one of the top performers in every school I went to, but never really got along with anyone super closely besides my best friend. I dated around, had several personality shifts, and ultimately ended up quite combative (verbally) and anti-authority figures. This was all before my mental health diagnoses, but it definitely lines up. I'm glad I'm at least a little less combative than I once was, but that "strong sense of justice" part of my autism diagnosis really do be hittin sometimes lmao
Hi Noah, I wanted to offer some unsolicited advice on the flies that might help. There’s a chance they could be drain flies instead of fruit flies so I would try focusing on cleaning the drain in your sink for a few days and see if it helps!! I used to have the same problem but once I started treating the drains it helped more than anything else!!
Also your videos have officially inspired me to work on pull ups!! I can get one or two assisted so I started doing some different drills to work up to doing them unassisted!!!
When I was in Highschool I was the quiet shy kid who hid in the art room, Im Glad I can say that I'm much more assertive and have amazing friendships now.
high school me hung out with the marxists, the anarchists, the agitators, the looters, and people who in many instances have no clue what they were doing
Yo, with adhd and meds (I take Vyvanse), multiple doctors asked when I took it, and I said 7am, and they told me that taking it at 7am could AFFECT MY SLEEP! I couldn't imagine taking it at 2pm. You're taking one for the team, Noah 😂
i hurt my leg so i cant workout rn so im living thru u
I hope you recover soon!
I broke my finger and can't do pushups.
@@EricChoiniere tysm :3
@@andrewanastasovski1609 have a speedy recovery :3
If you use a narrower grip, it’ll be easier to get “chest to bar”, alternatively if you still struggle you may have to work on strength at the top of the range of motion - to do this you can do negative (eccentric) reps by standing on a chair and lowering yourself down from the top of the range of motion
(You can totally RUclips negative/eccentric reps)
You can also use resistance bands (basically large elastic bands) to help you get quality full range of motion reps
(You can totally RUclips this too)
Love you from a far dude
Thanks for the content
about soaking dishes:
i find that what soaking your dishes can do, scraping food off the plate plate right after eating does better
about crunches/neck strain:
imo try crunches FIRST, core is ass, so i try to get it out of the way first. also if you look to the ceiling while crunching, your neck womt strain as much.
hope that helps!
Bro I love the workouts being added in to more videos
i like it when people remind me to drink water bc otherwise i'll genuinely forget to.
its actually a task i have to keep track otherwise ill just be a member of the dehydrated gang
when i'm doing a thing i tend to forget to eat/hydrate/go to the bathroom. dont know if thats an adhd thing or just me being a lil creep and not taking care of myself
these vids are the only reason I've improved my life genuinely thank you so much for making these I feel so much better
Laughed out LOUD about big water and big toilet colluding
Just got in from the gym and I’ve been using your videos to get through some spring cleaning. Bc I am someone who body doubling actually works for, these kinda videos do help so thanks for giving me some motivation to keep it up!
I just wanted to say that I appreciate you, and your videos. Thank you.
in high school my expression was constantly changing, i was definitely a phase-haver. but all those phases brought me closer to who i am today, from cowboy yeehaw to hippie to punk kid
Let me ease your mind on the shower vs bath question, the answer is, like so many things in life, it depends. Feel better? Really though there are multiple variables to consider for something like this. Different shower heads have different flow rates, how much are you filling the tub, how long is your shower? If your shower head is only 1-1.5 gpm and you take a 10 minute shower then that’s not so bad at 10-15 gallons. On the other hand average tubs could be filled with about 70 gallons so even if you’re only filling halfway you’re still more than double the shower example.
I was senior class vp, president of student council, all AP, 2 varsity sports but bad at both of them choir girl in high school. I also worked 15-30 hours a week getting paid garbage. I was incredibly anxious which often made me standoffish and I cried a lot and hated myself for it. Turns out I have adhd and was constantly on the brink of a breakdown. Then I found weed and now I’m nice
Thank you for the video
First off Noah, Congratulations on your (now more than) 60,000 subs!
I love how this channel/community is growing. Like a newborn baby that is almost two months old.
With every new upload I see that the number of subs has increased.
Just like a baby that starts crawling and experimenting with it's taste buds, putting anything in it's mouth that seems edible to satisfy it's need for survival.
Soon it can hold its own bottle. Afterwards, even tries to connect with his caretakers (community) by rambling and babbling some words and liking comments in the comment section.
Not long after, it tries to take its first steps into the wide world of grown ups. Wishing that the now independant being could be a small cute baby again... thinking back at the times that it was in need of our help, support and love in the middle of what once was, a small tight knit community that was created to raise a newborn baby into it's independance.
I just wanted you to know that this noficication came right after one for a video called 'Shaping Tips for Soft or Fearful Dogs to Create Enthusiastic Learners'
and now I feel as motivated as I do confused
Tip to fix the top part of your pull ups: after your normal sets are finished, jump up into and start from the position you want to finish in, then slowly let yourself down
i found (similar tropical climate) that placing something absorbant like napkins or paper towel under the bag keeps those kind flies down
These videos do inspire me to try and do a similar style of content focusing on getting the things you need to get done. The idea of talking about yourself and going with the flow of thought seems like a great way to hold yourself accountable as well as try and help others with your story.
I also appreciate your talking about the comment about Berserk and going through your "arcs". You gotta hold yourself accountable for your past as well as well as your future and actually think on where you have come from and where you are going. Anyways, thanks for providing this type of content Noah, it's good to have something to listen to/watch to get motivated to take care of yourself.
I like the music in the vo and the crickets when your out of breath and just talkin
Love this new content. 👏
Thank you for this art. Youre beautiful ❤
Internet Shaquille says to fill one bowl with soapy water and just dip your sponge in that (from his video "How to Do Dishes Without Hating Every Moment of It")
Its noah time!
Hey if you want a better ab exercise, try doing laying leg raises or hanging knee tucks. They're much easier to make consistent than situps and especially crunches. I also find them to be way more intense (especially the hanging knee tucks). Since you said you were not really feeling your abs, give them a try! :)

Jesus christ I feel so called out by this man. I'm sitting here curled up like a goblin in my own HM Mirra chair with dry mouth will a full bottle of water sitting next to me then he said take a drink I'm a hypocrit and I was like ok I took a drink. Then he went on about the chair and I became aware of how bad my posture was.
If you plug the drain while you shower you could compare the amount of water in the tub to where you would fill it if you took a bath
leg days are my favourite days
When its leg day and ure done working out and u remember u gotta use ur legs to walk
u help me a lot
in high school i was just depressed
I really like the businees bro inspirational stuff. Especially when they're into "spiritual" stuff. Feels like some warhammer stuf or something.
ngl this made me do my dishes 🫡
In high school i was a naughty gifted child
I have a tendency to over-think, so it's refreshing when I can quiet my mind and focus on what I want to do right now in this moment. "Do the thing" is really helpful for me I think, I can save all the additional considerations for after I do the thing. Your videos help me focus on what's right in front of me instead of getting distracted by a hundred what ifs.
Also, fixing a fucked up sleep schedule sucks I'm so sorry, I hope you can get back on track with minimal sleep deprivation
i'm learning to draw and i really need to be active in some community, probably the one from my class, I know doing the thing is all I can do but on your own learning is kind of hard
If there's something that's crusted on and could use soaking, I put it in the sink and then when I wash my hands the soapy hand water goes in and that soaks it. In my brain that saves water. You still need to wash it properly after, but most of the crusts are soaked off by then
man my very kind nurse mom out here catching strays 😢😂
i was a mute jock in high school
Honestly using like day old rice for fried rice is the absolute tits and it’s super common and not even a problem
For your pull ups the progression you want is to pull your shoulders back once the bar has reached its initial limit. Retracting your shoulders at that point will effectively pull or push your chest further up into the bar depending where you're looking at it.
Apparently refrigerated rice reduces the GI level (you can warm it up again) so go ahead and cool that rice! ;)
i get all my exercise tips from Jeremy Ethier’s videos
To improve your pull-up range you can do this:
Stand on a small ladder or box of some kind so you can grab the bar and already have the bar at chest level. Step off the ladder and hang with the bar to your chest then slowly lower yourself down. This is called a negative pull up
What i do with soaking is stack them like a pyramid with the smaller bowls on top of the bigger so that it take up less volume of water, compared to loose in the sink
Just wanted you to know I took your advice and drank some water. Felt good.
I can't do push ups or pull ups, still working on it. My trainer had me do something different on the push ups this week that maybe you can use on the pull ups? He had me start all the way down and push up only halfway. Maybe you can use a chair or something to get you all the way up where you want to finish on your pull ups and then just go up and down halfway. See if that helps?
Bro, had the same problem with fruit flies, you gotta boil a big pot of water and pour it down the sink. The flies chill out in the drain till the trashcan comes back
i have NEVER seen someone crack their neck forward like that
In highschool I am just kinda there, kinda a chameleon in a way. I just observe, see what's happening, and acclimate. I never get mean to people though I don't have time for it and I've received it too much to do it to others. I'm mostly just chilling
For those Bulgarian Split Squats, you don't need to go so deep unless you just need to make it harder. Tip my PT gave me, I have a lot of balance problems with that exercise though.
Noah you’re like Joe Pera for people with adhd
Fruit flies are attracted to vinegar that is in common cleaning, chemical kind of thing, so you may just have cleaned it and thus attract them to the smell of clean
definitely shower, I could fill my bath twice, it's easy to check, just run yourself a bath with the shower head and time how long it takes to fill, and then time yourself having a shower. for the sink one, same thing you could time how long it takes to fill the sink and then how long you have the tap on when you're rinsing, and then do the dishes the other way and time how long you run the tap. it'd be easy for you too because you're recording it you could time it after :P
try to stay up from 5 am and sleep early the next night at 5 or 6 will help u reset ur sleep schedule
Just rinse the dishes after you use them then little scrubbing is required:)
Gooood morning everyone
PLUH 🗣️
do you have hypermobility by any chance? it seems like you’re super flexible and sometimes that adds an extra strain on your body during workouts!
I was a massive nerd in high school but I was also mean which was a weird combo 💀
I got nicer after I ditched some toxic friends tho
18:27 *What type of person you were in High School?*
I like that question, thanks for asking us.
I was a very eager and serious student, contrary to what you may believe Noah #notmeanandnotbecominganurse but I have yet to see a two minute side plank on each side though -- still rooting for you buddy, you can do it! 💪🏻--
(Where was I, ... oh yeah) Almost always one of the first that raised my hand in class to answer a question. Sometimes the teachers made me wait on purpose that my arm eventually got sore that I had to support my underarm with my other hand.
Systematically being skipped by the teachers. Being labeled as 'too quite', 'lives in her own world', 'independent', athletically gifted but sweet and attentive, in their words.
*In short:* Polite, well-behaved, quiet, deep, shy yet innocently critical. Among my fellow silent peers I was the actress, the jokester, storyteller, speaking in different accents unprovoked, puzzle solver and loves replicating sounds of home appliances at random to ease my OCD brain.
Always weeks ahead on my homework. Always prepared for unplanned tests. Had little to no connection to fake and popular peers, kissing 🍑🍑 for good grades. I was more connected to the fellow quiet and often marginalized classmates that had difficulties learning or understanding for whatever reason. They were and still are the most sweetest and kind souls. Till this day friends for life.
If you want to turbocharge chin ups and pull ups throw some heavy stuff in a backpack.
Do you end up with friends who are or probably are ADHD too? I recently realized that most of my long term friends are probably ADHD. We are all a bit older, so only a few of us have been formally diagnosed but it's pretty obvious.
Yes. It's the same with autistic people. We find each other.
Bro I watched this, partway through I got up and cleaned my dumbbells I forgot about on the floor for 2 years, then I went & grabbed some shopping, then I came back and did some shoulder lifts with the cleaned dumbbells for the last 5 minutes. Apathetic leftist themed lifestyle content, who'da thunk that would be the thing that focuses me up so much.
How did you know about my morning "Noah and burrito" routine
In highschool I was doing online school (before it was cool) and was the edgey kid to my European gamer friends (shoutout oscar and mia). But I was never like super mean or toxic thank god
I'd love to hear about your work flow
I know you don't like doing the pull ups on the bar because it hurts your hands, so one alternative to that (if you still want to do them but it's like a rainy day or something and you can't do pull ups on a tree) is to wrap a towel around the bar and pull yourself up from the two towel handles. Should be a lot easier on your hands
