I am always weary of self improvement content but yours actually helps me. There's no overpriced courses, no "depression isn't real, just clean your room" bs, no toxic positivity bs, no "everything in your life is 100% your fault" bs. You take self improvement seriously and the wisdom you share is real. This goal setting system sounds great and I'll definitely try it for my current goals. Thanks a lot for doing what you're doing and good luck with your second book!!
How are you getting on, Aurel? :) I think the "Why haven't you done it yet" can be a bit of an overwhelming question which tend s to trip up many people (myself included, initially). Would love to hear more about your journey if you're willing ;)
Man, you have no idea how much of an impact these videos have on people. I just dropped out of architecture and I feel like it's a much needed opportunity for a fresh start. Videos like this usually give me some sense of direction at least. Thank you!
Hey… my husband has a MA in architecture and I swear it almost killed him. The second he graduated…. He quit his architecture career. Proud of you for quitting!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've been academically excluded from my Biokinetics post graduate program and haven't told my parents or anyone actually. But I'm hopeful and deeply optimistic that this year is going to be a banger ! God speed :)
Hi Struthless I doubt you will see this but I just wanted to say thank you for the videos you make. disingenuous Self improvement RU-vidrs have plagued the platform and it's hard to come by helpful, genuine creators like yourself. 100's of thousands - millions of people appreciate your work even if like me, they don't always leave comments, appreciate it. Thanks man.
I think your use of AI is exactly how artists, real artists, need to use it. It’s a sounding board, something to inspire and jump off of, and not an actual full solution to creative problems. This is cool. I might give it a shot, as some of my goals this year are very nebulous lol
I was looking for that kind of comment, since I myself just commented on how I appreciate Struthless incorporating the use of AI here so casually, that it takes a bit away from my anxiety of getting acquainted with that stuff ;)
God must have a sense of humor because I was legit crying myself to sleep last night, feeling so overwhelmed, defeated, and purposeless. Feeling too far down the hole to climb out of it. And then this video pops up? I almost didn't click on it because most self-help youtubers feel out of touch. But this video was exactly what I needed today
The AI prompt really floored me, man. It was wild how good it was at giving goal-specific advice. It's clear you poured a lot of your wisdom into it because a lot of it made sense, and even had a healthy dose of your personality in there! I've been a huge fan of your methods for as long as I've known about you... they really resonate with me. Can't wait to take this with me as I tackle 2024!
I've been wanting to meditate and exercise more and I've adopted a strange strategy to help with that: Floor time. No matter how I feel, every single day I will lay on the floor. That's it, that's the goal. I will not get back up until I feel like I've accomplished Floor Time properly. On a good day I immediately go into yoga and meditation and might follow up with one of my more intensive exercise options like weight lifting. On a bad day, I will lay on the floor and stare at the ceiling, notice how shitty my body feels, and think, "Well, I'm here, I may as well stretch out my joints. I can do some deep breathing too, that doesn't take much extra energy." Sometimes, it wakes me up a bit and I'm able to properly get into whatever I'm doing. Sometimes I am just genuinely, truly not feeling it because I have absolutely no energy, might be sick, whatever. On those days, I let myself do the bare minimum. I know that if I Push Through like all the motivational speakers say to do, I'll burn myself out and start to associate Floor Time with Pain Time and I'll want to stop doing it. The key is that even when I feel like absolute garbage and am realistically not doing anything that actively drives me towards my goals, I am still maintaining the routine that will get me there. I don't have the shame or anxiety of 'falling off'. I laid on the floor, I listened to my body, my body said no, but I still laid on the floor. It keeps up the habit of putting myself where I physically and mentally need to be every day to make it happen on my better days.
🤝 reading it on the floor, mate at first I was trying to do exercises everyday, but of course I started to slack off, and now when I have a shitty day I know that at least I can relax my spine and slow down the world a bit while lying down floor is a nice place
I love how people like yourself, genuinely acknowledge the 'I lay on the floor and stared at the ceiling' moments, you can't celebrate the pluses if they don't include the ceiling staring.... 👍🏼🤭
Five years ago today, I woke up in a hospital bed, paralysed from the waist down. The journey since then has been beyond my wildest expectations. Cam, your videos are a constant source of inspiration on my journey. If you're interested, I've shared some of my experiences in a recent video. I know you’re probably super busy, but maybe you’ll take a peek. Either way, thank you for all the awesome videos you make ❤
I’m 27 without my license & in my 9th year of college. I have been digging the hole of learned helplessness & this really makes me feel like I can shift the mindset into achieving those two goals. I have been stagnant out of fear but these years will pass by whether I’ll accomplish those goals or not. Thank you again as always
You can do this!! it took me 11 years to get my undergrad degree!! I started to feel hopeless and that I'd never graduate! But I really did do it, I walked, and now i'm studying for my MFA! If I can do it, with my issues and problems, you can too!
This is the one of the very few channels that I will watch productivity/goal-setting tips on because you’re just so matter-of-fact. The honesty is so necessary. I don’t even like goal-setting for the new year but this video makes me want to try.
I had an awesome 2023, thanks to you, Cam. Doing the Alphabet Superset projects has kept me creative and boosted my confidence as I'm getting a good response from my friends and family. The consistency you inspired in me allowed me to do Inktober for the first time ever (I did it with a theme of David Bowie lyrics and drew 31 Bowies!) ... I couldn't have done it without your guidance and inspiration, so thank you. I look back on the past year with a sense of achievement. Keep your fantastic words and works coming! ❤
Man, you don't know how much you help us out there. I'm failing my studies, and your videos always boost me to reach my goals. Sometimes, I tell myself what advice you'd give in a situation. Thanks a lot.
Seriously, you are the only channel I know that gives life advice that makes a lasting impact. The way you present it is so out of the box and unique that it’s engaging, yet realistic in a way that makes me excited to try it :) Also, your ability to talk about screw ups and failures and recoveries and mistakes really resonates with me too. A lot of channels only cover “top ten tricks”, and don’t talk about the hurdles that come up. Thank you thank you!
So sorry to hear of the loss of your friend, especially at such a young age. Navigating grief is difficult. I lose my grandad last year, and grief definitely makes you panic about time and what to do with it amongst other things. Just want to say a massive thank you, for these videos. Your videos give so many, the tools to help change our mind sets. Dig deeper, but with a mindful that helps. As an over thinker, who finds it hard to focus they are great for making it more digestible. These videos are such a great resource. Hope this is a better year for us all. 🙏
cam, i too am someone who feels weird about ai and thinks it should be more regulated and studied before it's used to EVERYTHING and i must say that your tool is the dealmaker for me in this list of steps. im a perfectionist and procastinator and in this moment it's way easier to identify what i don't want or can't do (im in a depressive episode) and editing what the ai puts out will be way easier to do than coming up with everything myself. as always, thank you so much for your creations, you really make a difference in my life and in my artistic journey. catch ya
Thank you for this post. Timing is perfect. This has been an EXTREMELY challenging year. Prior to this, you helped the start of my self reflection in a productive direction. You started my journaling. And your brother's story really moved me. And here you are again. Thank you for your work. And thank you for being you
Dude, this video is so dense!!! I just finished listening to a 7 hour productivity book, and no joke, there are more take-aways in your video!!! Thanks a thousand Cam!
I thought i was procrastinating for a long time, but it turns out healing takes a lot of energy. That's my Identify ❤ Realising that is healing in itself
I don't know how you do it, but you always manage to put such a novel and actually insightful spin on the usual self help topics. So much content is basically the same stuff regurgitated that I feel like I know it all, but you genuinely make me think about things in ways I never have before. Thank you!
I really appreciate the video even though I'm still likely to struggle with figuring out an actual clear goal for a while. My 2023 was both amazing and absolutely horrible. I met the love of my life, went traveling on my own for the first time, met some amazing people and made great memories. Then maybe about a month after I got back from my vacation I lost my father to depression. Our relationship was incredibly strained for the past year as well because of childhood trauma and my parents finally going through with the divorce that they needed. I never got to say goodbye though or received the apology I felt like I was deserved. That was back in October and I still don't think I'm fully over it, definitely not enough to properly interact with the outside world yet. My heart goes out to you, losing someone suddenly fucking sucks. It's nice though to feel like I'm not completely alone, the piles of trauma I have feel like they just keep getting more and more tangled the more I try to undo them. I've been to an amazing therapist but she just costs too much for me now at this point. I know you're not licensed but I really appreciate you doing these videos. You make me feel like it's not as hopeless as it seems sometimes. Even though I struggle to genuinely implement anything helpful in my life I still have the comfort in not feeling crazy or lazy even for not getting anywhere. That easy path in my brain is so smooth it's practically a waterslide. Things like this help me sit back for a moment and just breathe, try and help get my thoughts in order so I can try again. Thank you for all that you do, best wishes to you and your family
Just want to say thanks dude for everything you do. I know it’s rough taking care of children and still work towards your goals and dreams but I think you’re doing great. I hope this year is awesome for you and your family. Thanks again for being a dude with a you tube channel.
I am currently working on my application portfolio for university and I wanted to thank you so much for your videos! I love watching them whilst I draw and it keeps me motivated and inspires me a lot! Hope you see this and if you do I wish you and all your loved ones a wonderful day!
2024 is already my comeback year. I allowed fear, procrastination and other mental barriers to stop me from pursuing my life’s goals for many years. But finally, last October I finally broke through the wall and I’ve been working feverishly on my music ever since. I plan to keep going until I’m successful. I have great songs and the world is going to hear them!
I'm having the hardest time lately discovering that I am neurodivergent & it sinking truly in over the past couple of months, feeling like everything is doomed & feeling hopeless. Watching this video to get me out of a panic attack after failing to socialize. Now, with that sad intro. I'm glad your videos popped up for me again. They inspire, make me feel less lonely but most importantly the honesty & dark humor accompanying them make me grin/smile/laugh in this grim situation. And I'm grateful for the (sometimes silly) actionable steps & tools you provide. I will get your book that is out. And for what it's worth, I will also get the next book. So there will be at least one sale. 😉 I appreciate your energy!
Mate, I'm 21, been watching your videos for like a week, and it is having a PROFOUND effect on the way I see my life. All I've wanted for the last few months is to move myself closer to the life I want. Financially, creatively, all that stuff. I'm sick of reading books and watching videos that tell me "You do have the time, you're just not doing anything with it" and sitting there with rings around my eyes at the end of a day feeling like I JUST haven't ticked enough boxes, or eaten enough frogs, or feeling enough fear or changing enough about anything. My life is feeling like a sliding puzzle recently. In order to get to what I want to do/finish/work on, I have to put out five other fires, move loads of shit out of the way, and then when I finally get round to it I have no energy to get started. It's fundamentally draining. Seeing people like you putting out videos all the time and at such high quality whilst I take months and months and months to put out one 8-minute highlight video is a real kick in the teeth, especially when I compare where I am to where you came from and tell myself I've got it easy. it's not about the amount of water you're drowning compared to that of other people. It's about the fact that you're drowning. Thanks for that tidbit Cameron :) Off the back of your content, I'm going to try and set myself up better for progress, and try to make it easier for me to get started on things. Thanks for existing boss.
You're by far the most realistic youtuber that makes content on self-improvement and productivity. Some channels i watch seem to be putting out the same content as everyone else, but your videos are always something new!
Thanks for your amazing content & sorry for your loss man, I lost my mom to cancer couple of months ago and needless to say it derailed everything I had in mind but I continue to start again over and over because I know there is always something worth learning from it. Again, thank you and thanks to everyone sharing their experiences :)
I’ve watched many of your videos and I’ve loved them all. But this one, wow! Brilliant, timely and just downright awesome! (And all the little mini Easter eggs were on point this video…Anarchist’s Cookbook made me LOL) Thanks so much for this. I’m glad I have a path now to make my 2024 better than my 2023, which was the worst year of my life.

Thank you for creating that goal setting thing. I found it really helpful as it had some things I hadn't thought of, and I like things laid out neatly before me. Awesome work!💕
I rarely comment on videos, but this goal setting tool is brilliant, Cam! Thank you for the work you do and the positive impact you make in this world. The delivery of the responses to my prompts made me feel like I was getting a personalised Struthless pep talk 🙌
Another fantastic video that is clearly already helping many from the comments. I do feel this one kind of cleanly sums up many of the approaches you've introduced over the years (case in point you were already doing most of the things in one category). Sorry to hear about your friend, it's always hard to know what to say and can only wish the best for all in a time of difficulty. Your channel has helped me over the last few years keep on top of things and not give up my potential, I'm hoping that this year is the one I can finally start putting a lot of this into practice. So, thankyou for keeping it real, and holding a direction to aim for.
I love brass taxes! Miss-pronunciation is fun all by itself, also the Stoics tell us waking up early is the tax you pay to get a start on the day so brass taxes still works! Further proof the universe is working for ya! Love you guys!
Been watching on and off for four years; sometimes I come back to absorb some knowledge - applying or just enjoying your perspective. Others, because seeing you is the familiarity of an old friend. Always a pleasure + totally gonna try your tool!
Omg, I so rarely comment on videos, but I have to say I was blown away back that AI tool. That was so helpful, especially the action plan. Makes me hopeful about the future and the wonderful things we will make with this technology. Thank you for sharing it, and for all the really practical tips you have shared in your videos.
So sorry for your loss man. In 2022 I lost a dear friend in February, followed by a second even dearer friend in July, followed by a third in September, 5 days before I was due to have a surgery that was meant to be an overnight stay in hospital but went wrong and had me there two weeks, finally topped off by witnessing my brother in law die graphically in a freak accident in our front garden a week after I got out of hospital. It’s been a whole year since all these tragedies unfolded in such a short space of time and I’m still not doing too well. Spent years in therapy from 13 years old to almost being discharged as I was finally on top of all my past traumas and then 2022 happened and since then I’ve been in a whole new form of hell I never could have imagined and it’s so hard to know how I could ever get back to where I was before all that tragedy. But anyway that’s a whole lotta dark stuff, despite all that pain I’m still here and still trying my hardest and sure it’s fucking agony at times but I am lucky to have a beautiful 3 year old son who I have to be strong for and that is a blessing I couldn’t begin articulate the importance of. I’ve always found so much comfort in your content because I feel we have eerily similar lives, views and interests as well as troubles so I feel I relate to you heaps and I’m so sorry that now we can relate on loss. You’re a huge inspiration to me and clearly so many other people and you give such a huge breath of fresh air from the day to day hell that life can be so thank you so much for all that you do. Even if you don’t meet your own standards sometimes, you’re absolutely killing it compared to many and most, and you have so much to be proud of. Thanks so much for all you do you man of many talents 🙏 much love and may 2024 be better to us all because we could all do with a f*cking break lol
Dude, what ever happened to you in your life (and that sure was some hard shit), it made you an exceptional person. I love your videos, I love your mindset. It’s not only your content that is great and inspiring, it is also watching you grow over the years. I am really proud of you. You definitely have a spot in my top 3 all-time favorite youtubers.
Just spent an hour-and-a-half committing to watch the video, write things down for myself as I watched it, did all the things with your AI program, and wrote down some essentials from that as well. I've been struggling with my studies for years, and this really helped! Watching your content never fails to motivate me. Thank you so much for the amazing stories, content, and insight you give me. Keep up the good work! Love from the Netherlands
@@quickgirl80someone did a whole video essay on it that was very interesting. It’s part of the “internet ugly” style that separates ‘big corporations’ from ‘individuals’.
Sorry about your friend Cam, that's a pretty tough thing to have to handle :/💙 Tbh doing anything after something like that is impressive, so definitely take it easy. Life isn't always consistent enough to plan for, so there's no shame in slowing down for a bit. If it's a struggle to keep goals, perhaps prioritize them differently and let some things slide for a bit, at least until you start feeling well enough that it doesn't feel too "heavy" to handle anymore. If you can't be "productive", aim for grace instead. Maybe it will be a hard time, but showing yourself grace does more for healing then beating yourself up does. Perhaps it could become a lesson in how to be kinder to yourself, or delve into why productivity is so important that you would feel shame for not being that way all the time, even when circumstances do not allow for it (what your values are + where you originally got them from, and if it is valuable to keep them or not, or in what situations). I hope you can hold the space and time to grieve + heal well, and I'm sorry for your loss. I'm sure you made their life better and they were happy to have known you while they were around, just like you were happy to have known them~
I love this, and as someone who also has the “start something with a tonne of excitement, lose interest fast and start something new” tendencies, I suspect this is going to be very useful! And I’m so sorry about your friend. You’re right, some things that derail life just don’t have an easy answer. Hope you’re holding up okay ❤️
You inspired me to go see Jeffrey Lewis when he was in my small city. I really didn’t want to leave the house because I am quite introverted, but I saw Jeffrey Lewis was playing and Iremembered you and how much you like him. I have always enjoyed his music as well, and thought to myself that I would probably regret not going. The show turned out amazing and he sang some new work that really resonated with me. I even got to talk with him briefly! Anyways, thank you for inspiring someone across the globe, even if it seems small.
I've been eagerly awaiting a video like this for two weeks and I'm so glad you took the time to make one! I have a lot of plans for this year and am looking forward to getting tips on how to tackle it all. Thank you so much Cam, it really feels like a second Christmas to me! 🥰
Hey just want to say your AI just woke me the fuck up. I dropped out of college almost a year ago because I wanted to pursue my dream of doing youtube. But I haven't made any progress since then and that makes me feel like a failure. When I used your ai and gave me the vision I didn't want to happened to me. I cried like a bitch. I can't be procrastinating and being a perfectionist all the time, or else I won't go anywhere in life. Thank you so much. I've been watching your stuff for awhile now, keep up the good work. The world need more people like you.
I find another thing that is important is to look at your flaws with detachment. What I mean by this is that it can be easy to look at what you don't like about yourself as a bad thing. It very well might be. It could be a pattern of behavior that is ruining your life, destroying relationships, and keeping you stuck. I find that if you judge those behaviors too harshly however, you can get into a guilt/shame loop. You want to stop these behaviors, you feel ashamed for doing them, you turn towards unhealthy coping mechanisms, you notice the bad behavior, and the cycle repeats. Another way I see it is that if you associate the "fixing" of the behavior with the negative feelings of having that behavior, your mind likes to be efficient and cut out the middle man, so it may end up looking like: 1 feel shame about behavior, 2 try to fix shameful behavior, 3 feel more ashamed when you don't see immediate results. Then your brain condenses it to: 1 feel ashamed when you notice the behavior at all, even when you are working on it. I find that the best way around this is to work at the source of the shame, and to try to find where it's really coming from. Often times it comes from other people's judgements from the past becoming internalized as our own. Friends, family, parents, and past lovers all fall into this. Once people let them go, and accept where they are with no emotional judgements, changing the behavior becomes easier.
omfg this tool is genius!!! Struthless is the ONLY person who takes this self help shit real and ACTUALLY helps people and leaves a life changing impact. so good!
Thank you for this super helpful video, it came at the most opportune time. I also want to say that I’m so sorry you lost your friend, my heart goes out to you Cam. ❤
Thanks for this post. I noticed also that when thinking about who you'd have to be to achieve a certain goal, you also get to decide if becoming that person is worth it. Like say I want to lose 50 pounds. Who do I have to become to achieve that goal? Someone who wakes up early to exercise every morning, counts calories, watches everything they eat, and can't really enjoy meals anymore they way they used to. Now if my reason for wanting to lose 50 lbs is because my health and my life are on the line, then becoming that person might be worth it to me. But if it's just vanity, like I want to lose 50 lbs so everyone at work will compliment how great I look, then becoming that person might not be worth it. Maybe becoming someone who makes better food choices and slows down and enjoys their food and incorporates more healthy movement into their day is the person I'd like to become instead. If I lose a few pounds that way, great. But if not, I've made the choice of who I want to be and accepted the end result of that choice. I think that's why our goals fail so often. We think that having or doing this thing is going to make us happy, but we're thinking of it in the context of who we are right now. Like if I as I am right now had this thing, it would be great. But when we start working towards a goal and realize the person we have to become to achieve this goal is not in line with our values, we give up. Then we punish ourselves for being a failure, when in all honesty we are not. We just realized subconsciously that the person we had to become to achieve that goal wasn't someone we really wanted to be.
Holy shit, the hypothetical of regret was a MASSIVE thing for me my whole life and its so so so cool hearing someone talk about it so concisely, this is SUPER rad
Cam, I've been following you for a few years now, and every practical guide you've posted had at least 1 thing that has already changed my daily routine, my projects, my life - all for the better. I hope you know how important your work is. Thank you for being so real and candid. And hilarious, most of all. Happy new year. I hope you're having a wonderful 2024 so far.
As someone who uses Ai... I do agree that it gives insights that I've never thought. It's not that totally bad as long as you don't use it in a "i can't live without it" basis The AI tool you made is DOPE!
Never expected an AI tool to make me weep, but something about that first Inversion paragraph really moved me. I cannot thank you enough for creating and sharing this tool with us (FOR FREE!), I’m amazed at how valuable I find the results. I’m printing it off and hanging it above my workspace now. It’s also very motivating being able to check off some of the Ingredients, telling me I’m already on the right path. THANK YOU ❤️🙏🏼😭
Why haven’t I done it yet? That is the best question I have heard in a long time. Absolute gold. So much resistance. Lucky I am my own best friend these days, so it’s a great exploration rather than a recrimination.
Your AI app is powerful! I put in three different goals. At first, it's humorous with the trajectory of inaction. Then it's full of useful tips, with a timeline. The third one, well it must have hit a nerve, I was in tears. I like how the plan is downloadable and have saved all three. Thank you, seriously, you have already helped one person. Really decent of you to make a tool that can benefit us. Thank you
I work on a creative team at a marketing company with designers across the world and we regularly share your videos with each other to motivate and discuss ❤❤❤
I just can't express how much you help through this 3 years to precisely make my inertia grow. I found your channel at 2021 and many of your videos made me question myself and have hunger to actually change and go for my goals. Last year was a blast because of that and all I want for this one is to keep on with the snowball.
Just wanted to pop in and say this goal setting AI tool has been a GAME CHANGER! Especially because I am more motivated by "dark why" and FOMO type of anxiety. I mean, if I am going to be anxious may as well use it productively, which in turns means I am getting more done, and so then I am overall less anxious and overwhelmed. This and "Does it make the boat go faster?" thinking have been massive for reframing things and my executive dysfunction.
I am happy that your page came to my recommendations one day. I was feeling confused and unsure that the enthusiasm and excitement of my goals for the year was starting to fade. Your tool helped me a lot to find new bearings and to outline my plans more clearly. Thank you so much!
Struth, Struth! Discovered you yesterday and ..... well....... Thank the multitude of deities that may have lead me here (yeah I know it was an algorithm but that thawt is such not as fun) I am 59 and have been procrastinating (kind of. lol) for at least 56 of them. 5 years ago I went to uni, got a degree in visual art and communicion with a major sequence in animation. And...... still on the longest most meandering road to doing. I have many reasons for the longevity of this path. Some extremely legitimate and some completely self entrenched road blocks. Many of these are still (yes at my age) flamed by self doubt that was instilled by a certain role model of my childhood and then habitualised by myself. My environment has been progressively been changing for the better and so too my ability to see the fork in the road. I truly believe that your approach to content, execution and delivery has hit a chord within me that will help me move past aforementioned self imposed road blocks and begin making! So today I am setting a goal to watch your content on a regular basis and implement action on at least one step gained from this each week. wicked shit mate. Every mark made is a step forward.
I'm older than you, quite a bit, so I don't really take a lot home from these videos, you know, I've already struggled and learned my way most of these things, BUT you are the nicest person on the internet (isn't this the best compliment ever?, I believe it is), so I still watch these, because you're nice. :)
Thank you so much not only for the videos (they always five me a burst of energy and make me want to improve myself) but for the AI. It really just did wonders for me!! I've been struggling for a few weeks now and I actually found myself laughing while reading the text the AI gave me and that just made everything so much easier! I was literally freaking out when I started the video, now I can go to sleep in peace and have my bak-up plan: reading the text over and over again!! Really, thank you. You're amazing!
Watching this a second time and using the tool in tandem. this is pretty incredible. I’ve only explored the inversion at the moment, but man … well done.
So I've just put a weight loss goal in the AI thing and I kid you not the first line is 'To ensure the scale defiantly holds onto that extra 51.5 pounds with the tenacity of a sumo wrestler clinging to the last rice ball, you'll need to follow these steps carefully' I spat out my coffee laughing, thank you Struthy this is and EXCELLENT tool I'm gonna laugh right into achieving my goal lol. Loved your first book waiting on the second, take your time brother.
Damn your AI thing works a little too well. Im tearing up over here about the first goal I have put in. It makes me so excited to continue and it gives such amazing advice I had never thought about. Thank you SO much for putting it together! And amazing video as always. You always find a way to inspire and motivate me to be the best version of me and actually do self reflection! Thank you!
man i remember when you were doing "10 different art style" videos, you've come so far dude, i came for the art, started for the help, your white ibis story has always stuck with me the most, keep makin great stuff, much love.
Loved that app you made. I put 3 separate goals that i have and the first one got the funniest and right on the gut text, much like your videos and i loved it. Thanks for making that and for keep making videos about real issues.
I just wanted to say, this last year I doubted my goals. I was struggling so much just to complete *something*. While I was able to do some things I'm very proud of, the question that sat in the back of my head was "Is this really what you want to do? Surely if it was you'd have done it by now!" Despite knowing that last year was an unusually hard year due to circumstances out of my control, I still doubted myself. For shits and giggles I typed that goal into the prompt. And the first two answers had me sobbing. If nothing else, having this reflect to me what would happen if I didn't pursue this has solidified that *yes, this is what I want to do, damnit!* Thanks for the video and the tool and for 2023.
Hi Cam, I know this probably won't reach you but could you give some examples of how you reward yourself for when you've reached a goal or made steps towards it? I tend to struggle a lot with that part, and it can dampen my morale a fair bit. Thanks so much for your videos, they've helped me so much in dark times!☺️
I really like your channel. You laugh, smile, and also offer pathways to recovery and creative abundance. Your channel is colourful and engaging. Your past as an addict makes you relatable. To me, you are real. Thanks so much. Hannah
Amazing. I’m normally a HUGE goal setter / new year lover, but this year my goals feel buried so deep in the mire of life sludge, I just don’t have the energy to go through the work it would take to create an action plan. Then here you come with your wonderfully real videos AND with a free tool to do ALL the work?? Amazing.
fyi, you helped so many people with your first book, all because of what you had to say and your journey in life. I’m sure that you’ll help and inspire people with the book your writing. I read your book when I had a massive burnout, and reading your book and journal exercises where the first steps I took in recovery. 2 years later and im weirdly enough grateful I even had a burnout, because I’ve grown so much over the past 2 years and feel more fulfilled and happier. Consider this some motivation hehee :)
This is an incredible video Campbell. Great work with that app too. Sorry for your loss too, and I hope the healing process is coming along. Thanks for the great work man!
I JUST started the video but the 4th question is so important: Why haven’t I done it yet? This question helps you also realize other things that HAVE to be priority that you may not have made a connection to. For me, it’s health. I haven’t done it yet because I live in chronic pain, which is a fairly new circumstance for me. I’ve been trying to just suck it up and deal with it on my own, but doing that means I am too fatigued and in pain to actually work on my goals. So my goal for 2024 is to figure out treatment, and thus have the energy and ability to work towards other goals.
So funny I'm watching this on 19th Genuary... I'm so deeply commited with my goals this year that I'm not rushing towards them but I'm defining and organising them propperly. Wish me luck, focus and many eyes!
Sending love from South Africa🥰 Just wanted to say that I loveee watching your videos, you truly inspire me and push me to become a better artist and person in general. Stay rad
You’re such an inspiration bro. I had a mate die suddenly at the start of 2021 a week before his 30th. Im still fairly fucked up about it. I soon after relapsed and escalated my previous drug addiction. I’m currently sobering up and hating life and feeling lost and directionless. I’ve been out of work for 5 years due to injury and surgery which led into covid and a whole bunch of traumatic life shit and then in active addiction for the last 2. I’ll definitely be coming back to this video and perhaps having a look at some of Allen Iverson’s ideas for me and my goals. Thanks for making such open, honest and vulnerable content, it’s the realness the world needs and I appreciate the wisdom you share.
One thing I saw which has really helped me, especially as a parent is when something goes wrong We have the tendency to go The day is ruined we Will try again tomorrow but why wait till tomorrow we have the ability to restart our day whenever. This could look like well I’ve already eaten five chocolate croissants for breakfast I may as well have an unhealthy day when after breakfast you could say we didn’t get after the best start, but let’s think about what healthy lunch I can make. My toddler through a huge tantrum and I didn’t handle it The best will try again tomorrow instead apologise for how you handled the situation and think of something positive you can do to help them through the same situation next time. Being able to reset your day whenever really help stop procrastination
you are so incredible. it's fascinating to see someone dissect themselves and use those findings to set their potential at full. struthless, this channel and all of your creations are so YOU and that's what makes them so special. keep creating, always.
Such a good video. Every time I watch the channel I come away with loads of actionable little steps and do better for it. And the silly goofy style is always a pleasure to watch.
Thanks so much for this one in particular! I was a little skeptical of ai, especially as an artist but this one really did help me break down steps for a big cross country move I'm planning to make in May. It also helped me realize I was already well on the way!
Finally Cam. I was literally waiting for your video for 2024 new year since the 1st of January. Thank you for creating the content you create. It makes a huge difference in my life. ❤️❤️
