It's encouraging to know I'm not alone in sleep deprivation. It is critically important that we get it straightened out. I've got nearly my whole life without a complete 8ish hours of sleep and it's really taken its toll. A toll that's created unnecessary anxiety. Let's get this fixed! 💪

@leonardo3265 4 года назад

I wonder something Thomas, don't you feel overwhelmed with all this productivity/disciplined life? Because every time I do this, after a while, I feel stressed with the amount of stuff that I'm doing. is there something that keeps you motivated?

@Goursome Год назад

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 🙃

@felixdragoi 4 года назад

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 😂

0:31 This fits with my biggest difficulty: i struggle to switch tasks cause i want to keep doing infinitely, if i could i would finish a 6 month project in a day. I delay the start -many times because of this - but once i do i don't want to stop. 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.

@KaylaNoelle1 4 года назад

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.
