Right now I am reading book for a bookclub by reading a chapter a day. I should be done by the time of the meeting. With age, one figures this things out (or not), but for the young age it is important to hear how to do such "life" things.
Yes Keegan! Nothing wrong with grinding the sidequests, but it's good if they help you out on the main quest (new video on this dropping soon). Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for the Inspiration. For sure I will try it out. I just ask myself how to handle the approach regarding Hobby time. For example, I love playing Board games, but I hand I hardly have time for my big collection getting played. I am never really happy, because I feel I should play way more often to justify owning that many games. I have seen people Making play Lists, saying they habe to play a particular Game x Times per year, otherwise it gets Sold. But I feel attaching goals to my Hobby time, kills the Joy of it for me. Also you cannot ever "finish" playing most Board Games. Often Times playing some Thing Leaves me wanting for more. How would you approach it!? I feel this is just as much a minimalist question as it is a being able to finish question.
Cheers, helpful, I hadn't heard of that way of looking at things as experiments and commitments and that feels like it will be useful. Also, years ago I went out with someone who aspired to become a published author, and she was a good writer who I watched get better and better, but... she never finished anything. It was like watching trailers and never seeing the real thing.
I got given it as a gift in Norway, when I was out watching wingsuit flyers in some extremely cold weather. It's the warmest thing I own! I'll check if it's got a tag.

As a reply to my own comment 😂 one thing young advocates is putting time in diary when you'll do something. You won't hit it all the time, but if you don't put it in, you may not hit it at all. My approach to BJJ at 50 is 3 times a week, I get to about 120-ish a year, 10 weeks of vacation, kids, work and illness but I average about that over 3 years. The most fascinating thing for me is neither the starting or finishing but the spaced repition and interleaving impact on learning and I don't think my experience of bjj instruction is that its optimised, in fact I think there's a good evidence base that its not effective or optimum but people succeed in spite of not because of the way instructor's think people learn
@@andrewmc2445 Yep I like Ultralearning! Which bits of BJJ specifically do you think aren't that optimised? I think a sort of natural interleaving happens at BJJ, but it's very difficult to organise it for other people in the context of a class: even if you have a curriculum for white/blue belts, and teach the same techniques semi-regularly to give people a refresher, they're all learning at different rates and they don't always show up. But then there's the other aspect of BJJ practice which is that I sincerely think there's an optimal approach somewhere between the ecological dynamics, all-games-no-techniques approach and the really technique-heavy instructional vibe in most classes. It's something I'm pretty much constantly working on, be great to hear your thoughts.
@@JoelSnape1 I think most schools run a "beginner" white / blue class and then once in the "next level up" they try to cover whatever the balance of their curriculum is. So you take Gracie Barra who publish their curriculum and its I think interleaving happens but it's either (absurdly) to much too often (Gracie Barra curriculum roles over 16 weeks, each week has 2 halves, each half focuses on 3 techniques) so as a beginner you know nothing, won't see the same thing for 16 weeks in which time 196 "techniques are taught - 3 per half week *2 halves per week *16 weeks * 2 (left and right handed) - it's absurd. At FZ checkmat it was better, focused on the development of movements from standing to ground game, a progression of a theme over weeks but almost all BJJ classes I've attended at different schools in UK, Europe and KSA think ultimately it's years on the Matt as opposed to an educators approach to improving learning. We all know it's time that counts but I'm not sure "it" as a way of progressing is designed to progress people in the aggregate efficiently. If you (royal you) spent white to blue working through a structure - as danaher talks about of working from off your back up, and through escapes, and you continued for the first year to come back to the same thing on a weekly basis I suspect you would progress faster as opposed to the mass practice which provides very short term improvements but lacks stickiness.

Great distinctions; thank you for sharing!

Joel this was great! I wrote out my experiments and goals. I have way too many side quests 😂

Thanks for the video, I like the distinction between commitments and experiments. Also, I really like the jumper, where does it come from?

@@JoelSnape1 wow thanks that is top youtubing, I live in Scotland now so this is valuable data!
Thanks
Incredibly kind - this has made my morning. Thanks very much!
I was just today mentally listing all these things I've started and not finished. Needed this video!
Super helpful. Time to commit to a reassessment of my hobbies and see what’s actually an experiment.
Brilliant, thanks for the comment!

What can I do if I can't finish watching your video?
Watch it on 2X speed?
