Hear! Hear! I love your video 🎉. I was viewing another channel when your video popped up on my I'm always interested in ways where I can "quit" something and was keen to hear your perspectives. I've been on this journey for a few years now, and am reassured that I made the best decisions for myself based upon your list. I quit staying up late many years ago now as I am a Librarian working at a K-12 International School in The Middle East and usually rise at 3:00 am (or before) to get my day started with my prayers and meditations. This is non-negotiable for me. This early morning ritual sets the tone for my day. I also make my bed and prepare my home for my return. I like knowing that everything at my home is neat and tidy before I leave for work. I also like what you said about accepting accountability. I couldn't agree more. I don't like being late for work or having to rush once I do arrive, so have clocked in to work at 5:45 am for the past 3 years now. It's not as crazy as it might sound because my "official" start time as a school employee is 6:45 am, so I give myself the gift of 1 hour every morning. I'm able to open my Library, turn on all the computers and copiers, organize my lessons for the day, and enjoy a quiet cup of coffee before the busyness of students and teachers begin. I prepare everything that I need for these early morning arrivals by maintaining a stocked supply in my filing cabinet at work. I, too, have "quit" associating with Drama Kings and Toxic Queens. I found out a few years ago that their negative energy was weighing me down. So, while I do remain cordial, I no longer spend any of my "free time" around them. My free time is limited and I prefer surrounding myself with high frequency people where we pour into each other. I don't have time or the energy for fake people, so I believe it's a WIN-WIN for me. I, too, quit amassing additional things. While I am by no means a minimalist, I have acknowledged, Praise Be To God, that I do not need anything else. Unlike yourself, I shopped (and at times still do) in bulk and have cupboards and closets overflowing with clothings, decor, and provisions. I am learning to use what I have. I am definitely less stressed out and have squirreled away a few extra dollars by keeping my money in my pocket. I only have my KZbin and Facebook Accounts which I use for my personal growth and keeping in touch with my family members who live back in The States. I've never wanted a Tic-Tok or Instagram Account because years ago I realized that all these accounts require maintenance. Since I don't upload videos or haven't been interested in starting a public channel, it was an easy decision for me.

Hi there! Thanks for sharing and wow it’s a ready made script for a video. You should start sharing it with people as a creator as well 👍👍

[@crystallevin]

I love love love your videos Artem. You have such great practical advice. New subscriber here! Just one request. Please increase the volume of your videos when you post them. That way I can work across the room from my computer and still catch every word you say! Love you! Have a great day!

[@ArtemShusterNomad]

Hi Crystal, thanks for extremely warm words. I truly appreciate it! As for the volume - well noted. Can’t promise that I will do straight away, but hope to increase at least frequency of videos soon

[@bizarre495]

Liked the thesis about a boss and being late!

[@ArtemShusterNomad]

I knew you’d appreciate

[@faithyoung-l3i]

New subscriber here. I realised when I get rid of things I don't use around the house I feel peace.

[@ArtemShusterNomad]

Awesome feeling, right?

[@Jothehermit]

If you find a good math app to learn from won't you tell me? I adore math but everything is so expensive that I get worried to try them! You're cool though, I like you!

[@ArtemShusterNomad]

Sure thing but haven’t looked into it yet 🙏🙏

[@kunwarsingh926]
