As a you-tuber beginner and someone who is addicted to productivity videos, I want to say your video is absolutely inspiring. Messages are clearly presented without being too dramatic nor boring. Keep it up!
The portion about books and video games.... Whoo boy. It's so interesting to hear another perspective on it. I used to be addicted to books like a lot of people are addicted to social media/video games. I would read 7-12 hours a day, even while eating, and often staying up late to finish a book. I found them so thoroughly engaging that in-between reading sessions I wouldn't feel like I was in the real world at all. I hated the feeling so I would grab another book and keep reading. I thought it was superior to all other media because of how thoroughly I could escape into it. I would be praised for that behavior too, since 'reading is good for you!'. I wasn't able to quit until I graduated college and had a full-time job- because I no longer had access to a library, but also because I realized that it was actually debilitating my ability to accomplish literally anything else. Of course, that was fiction, and maybe you mean just reading nonfiction. I do think the amount of escapism is different- especially for selfhelp/historical documents. Ironically, I ended up using videogames to help break up my addiction to books. I play for about half an hour a day before bed, and it helps me resist the urge to read 'just one more chapter' and reading past my bedtime lol
I'm in my first year of university and I haven't studied anything because it's very difficult for me to focus on studying. Now it's too late to make amends and I feel guilty about it. But I will still try to do my best
gawd damn killed it with the thumbnail mate
