    • @Goursome
      @Goursome Год назад +21

      Actually i may be able to help you. If you're trying to start multiple habits or have multiple mindsets etc you're essencially going to fail. The reason some people have productive lifes and don't get really stressed, is that they start one habit at a time and by the time it becomes effortless they start a new one. So they only have to worry about one thing and not many, because the rest are effortless.
      I hope i helped you 🙃

    Really great idea. I know the focus recently has been on upping the production quality but having so much b-roll, twists and turns at times seems to be more on the entertaining side rather than on the practical one.
    That's fine and also challenging, so having this types of videos is actually refreshing. I guess you might need more conferences to attend so Parkinson's Law gives you these opportunities 😂

    So work-life balance? Yeah, we don't do that here. I need to improve my ability of doing stuff only for a set amount of time, letting go and not feeling guilty about it. It's pretty hard not to work until you pass out when you have time and are desperate for results.

    I love the forest app but I had no clue they had a sleep one! The main issue is that when I first started university I would go to bed at 10-10:30 every night ... then my boyfriend started working as a pizza delivery driver so sometimes he gets home at 3am. So now I'm nearly gradutating but my usual bed time is 2am. It's really adding to my depression and lack of productivity but then I feel bad if I go to bed and don't see him for days because we are so busy. Poverty life sucks, it's going to be a slow process to claw my way to a better life with a sane sleep schedule.

    Everything is a pattern, we are a pattern that we have the capacity to change through our thoughts, habits, and environment. That pattern determines our life success.

    We keep our phones in the living room with charger units. I find that if I stay away from checking my phone/computer feeds at night before bed I have a better sleep. Also, I found that if I stay away from my phone first thing in the morning while getting ready for the day, I get a lot more accomplished quickly & my day isn't "chewed up" before it gets started. However, there are time when I do "break" my own "rules" & regret it later.
