@SanjaySkar
@SanjaySkar 3 жыл бұрын
@@nevereverstopsinging I guess I understand your question and this is my answer. And it can be different for someone else. It's not about, not able to fathom your own limits but for example, I would try to be a perfectionist in most of the projects (according to my idea for the result I wanna achieve) and that could affect other things in life. Most of the time it is as simple as getting too excited about something and spending all the time and energy for it (which is not a good thing mostly). Even if the 'conversations/outside perspective' isn't there, I will figure it out by myself whether something is a "good choice" (let's change the term "unrealistic" here as it could cause confusion) or not but it would take more time. A trustworthy healthy outside perspective is always useful to keep things in track. And in my case, my friends don't make judgment about my plans but they would ask me questions which will in turn make me wanna recheck my to-do list. It had saved me from beating me up/ letting myself down. After all, healthy conversations always bring some good ideas on the table. Hope you understood my perspective. :)

@@roosb.967 I have it the same way, and it truly makes me fail at things I know how to do. I have read a lot of discussion revolving around this, and some I understand and relate to, especially when it has to do with coming to sit down and start, and after doing a minute and a half of something you feel tired and you get up and try to do something else even though nothing was done. Some part of it has to do with sitting and once we start, we start thinking of the other things we should do and so we stop doing what we are supposed to do and then the whole cycle breaks and the effort to get back into it is tremendous and tiring. And obviously much more things but that’s one of them.

@@roosb.967 I can relate so much its painful. Here is what I did that has helped me more than any single thing. Start by just writing things down. Get a standard spiral bound notebook (I like the quad ruled) and on the first page make a calendar for the month you are in. The only thing you have to do to be successful in this expiriment is write one line about each day. it could be what you did, how you felt. The idea is to stick with it. If you only open the notebook for 10 seconds to write your sentence fine, you showed up. And even if you miss several days go back and fill in the days you missed you can usually remember about a week. Whatever you do keep that calendar filled in. Then do whatever you want on the other pages write down lists even if you don't have an organized way to keep track of them. Write long form journal entries even if you only do it once a month. Draw stick figures if it floats your boat. As you do this for months on end, patterns will begin to emerge that are completely unique to you. When this happens you can slowly start to systematize that practice. Like Nathaniel said you just have to externalize it before you have any concept of how to utilize it. I've done this for almost a year now and my notebook is my lifeline and I feel totally lost without it.

The point where it feels overwhelming is exactly what you mentioned about being able to share some of the time with someone that you respect. Its scary how one person can reroute another’s existence and it’s a reminder that we can do that positively for someone else also. Take care of yourself so we can take care of eachother!

Hi Nathaniel! This is the first time ever I'm commenting on something on KZbin, but I couldn't resist due to two issues: 1) Your content on your channel is too good not to be given a huge hug and thank you so much for - I've been looking for this for ages, and you just rock whatever you you do - so kudos and I take my hat off for you ❤️ And 2) I recently purchased a remarkable 2, it's designed in Norway where I come from, and it's like a digital note pad without the distraction of internet, you can write with different types of pens, draw, download e-books, have your personal writing converted to text, it's just so amazing and have converted my life to a better place in so many ways!

Le fait que tu accordes une importance particulière au papier, au son du papier, au fait de l’avoir dans tes mains... ça a quelque chose de tellement français pour moi haha. Mais je connais pas trop d’autres cultures donc peut-être que c’est juste l’idée que j’en ai 🤷🏻‍♀️

I have bought a whiteboard. Best buy ever. It's always on the wall so I can see what I want to do and change it every day. Long term projects that I have no time for at the moment do I write in airtable so when I have time for a new project I can take it out from there and put it on the board. I feel very productive with this method. Before I also wrote on paper but than I put it away or lose it. Also I had a lot of paper that got wasted that way.
