I watch videos like these knowing I can't focus, only to keep rewinding because I stop focusing and look elsewhere.

[@Bobersupremo]

This video hits hard af, the thing about "taking the day off" or "taking a day for yourself" really is true. Something like that happened to me recently where i just couldn't focus on school/grades and it really put my brain to the test, come to find out i just needed that time off. I actually got sick and had to be home for a couple of weeks and even though i lost a lot of classes and had to take a lot of tests i actually enjoyed the time home even being sick, and it really helped me kind of "reset" my brain. To anyone who can't focus i actually believe that taking time off if you can is extremely beneficial. I really enjoy these types of video cuz even tho most people put them in the background while doing something if you actually stop and listen it's really interesting, top tier content fr.

[@octavigoose]

Thanks for another great & relatable one Niko. I have always struggled with focus unless I have a deadline, but it has been especially bad recently. I just got back from spring break of my final year of college and since I've been back I just cannot make myself go to class or do work. This video makes me feel a lot more comfortable and okay with myself... it's very motivating... I think I'll go to my next class in an hour :)

[@matipont]

This is an issue I struggle with on the daily, so this video really felt reassuring and that I'm not the only person on earth going through this hahaha. On another note, I would love livestreams or longer-format videos (could watch your gameplay for hours).

[@Sarcastican_]

I agree completely with the needing a day to reset. Even during vacations, I sometimes felt like I wasn't actually taking a break from things. Sometimes we need breaks from things we thought we were using as a getaway, like gaming (as a whole, or an particular game). Burnout applies to everything.

NIKO, gotta tell you something i thought you might find interesting. i wake up at 4:40 am for work everyday and have a hour drive, i accompany that with your videos playing while i drive , it’s very relaxing, but i was wondering if you could do a video on failure. maybe something on how to overcome Ls

[@yurkleee846]

at 7:20 I'm so happy you didn't just go into some kind of rant about ADHD. ADHD is a real thing that people face and can struggle with, but so many people these days will just write off their inability to focus under a label like that without perhaps trying to really explore the true cause of it which might just make their life even shittier

[@derick6267]

I 100% agree that focus is a huge issue now that technology has advanced to such a degree that no one can avoid it for even 30 minutes i bet. This affects me too bc as soon as i arrive home from school, I procrasinate until literally 6-8 pm. And then when im at school, when it could be something educational, i would instead be pondering over something completely random. Although that class could just be boring or terrible to begin with, it provides a clear representation of the lack of focus within me and also within others.

[@Siege_R]

this is so funny, today i could NOT focus for the life of me and then at the end of the day i see this. amazing video, keep this up

[@HollowPhntm]

Nice little unfocused-focused introspective talk Niko. 🙌🏼😂 I feel like for me, in order to better focus on things(especially if it’s work/study related), it comes down to a mild sense of internal discipline. Although mine’s still a work-in-progress, the progress so far has been pretty good I’d like to believe. Every little step to bettering oneself is always a good thing, so keep at you guys. b 'u')b Also, it’s good to take a breather or time off just to reorient things. I can’t say or recommend what works for anyone else(I personally like to cook up a nice little meal, get some cleaning around the apartment done, or take a refreshing walk somewhere new(do be cautious about the last one though 😅)), but doing something simple to start with is a good right step if you’re having trouble figuring out what to do(hopefully that’s helps).

[@HunterThomasonGames]

You posted this at such a good time. I’ve been trying to get myself into a schedule the past few days since I’m not only editing videos for another KZbinr, but I’m also trying to be consistent with my own channel. Yesterday, I finished a video for my channel that I put a lot of time into and it turned out great. However I couldn’t get much done today. I was unable to focus on getting stuff done around the house and I was also trying to edit a video for the client I’m working for and couldn’t sit still long enough to get anything done. I’m bad about not taking breaks when I need to and I realize that’s something else I need to work on. I have seen a couple of your other videos such as the one about the mindset and it’s opened my eyes a little bit. Keep doing what you do cause I will be back :)

I have to start following your channel. As I have said in previous comments, I'm much older than you and probably (no offense) could not benefit from any direct advice. But you have a calming tone that makes me want to listen even though this is all stuff I've heard several times before. You are a credit to your generation. You certainly are way ahead in knowledge and maturity than I was at a similar age. I don't know if I'll Patreon yet (I have so many channels I want to do that) but the livestream sounds like a good idea.

[@nikoyaps]

I appreciate the feedback! I am sure that most people that are older than myself are wiser and have a larger wealth of knowledge, I can only hope that my words if not informative, bring a sort of comfort/reminder that you are not alone in your life struggles. I'd love to hear any further advice you may have on this topic. Whether or not you chose to answer, best of luck to you!

last week ive been sucked into making ai generated music with my own lyric in an attempterd to repair or improve my song writing skils , atm i've made 5 songs into paper , and thats 5 more then i done in years , i do get 100's if not 1000's of song ideas every 10 min or so but most of them are so garbbled its hard to get a marker to tag it and say "there i got you" and place it firm in my mind to make something of it. with these ai tools that has made it ez, yes its feel's alot like cheating if im honest but 1 of them ideas has made it soo faar im begun actualy trying to draw concept art for thus song . in hopes of some day (soon) i can make an "music video" from it with that music on it . long winded commentary for a video about focus but as an creative soul my mind wanders way to much way way to much and without a steady 9-5 work or any work atm it dift in uncontrollable waves and if im honest i dont like it. so in hopes to crash start my day with a tiny fraction of focus, i write my ideas as of late. yay life :D hope ya having a good 1

I like using my smartphone as little as possible unless I have a good reason for using it. For a long time, ive used it more as a microphone/video camera than something to make calls with.

Another great video from niko! Sometimes, when you're not focused, it's best just to do something simple and easy that you enjoy doing, or take a nap. About the idea of doing livestreams, I probably couldn't watch most of them bc of timezones n stuff but I think that it would be a good idea for those who could watch them. Just keep in mind that if you do more livestreams than regular videos, those of us who can't watch the livestreams might miss out on a lot, both in terms of Minecraft gameplay and in terms of whatever topic you were discussing in the livestream. Good idea tho :)

[@pointlessvideos2321]

Can u please make some videos about dedication and how to truly stop caring about what other people think. I’m constantly worried about what other people think and say about me at school. I also wanna start going to the gym, but I can never find the dedication for it and I always end up going like once and telling myself to go more, only to not go again for a long time. It would just be nice to hear someone talk calmly and in a real manner about something I really need most right now, because I’m very antisocial and I have no one to truly talk to about these things. In fact idk if I even have any real friends, I’ve always just been by myself. Sorry for ranting I have just been really down lately

[@XeroEcho2000]

I agree with him making a video about dedication, however I think you should stop being so hard on yourself. Putting all this pressure on yourself to do those things won’t necessarily bring them into your life, it’ll just end up making you more miserable. I’ve been in your position before and I understand how it feels, sometimes its made worse by those around us. However the way that I started to get ahead of those feelings was acknowledging my situation and slowly working on changing little things that would improve the situation. I honestly now feel a lot happier and less stressed as I’m not putting all this pressure on myself. I want you to know that you’re not alone and your feelings are valid being in your situation. You still have time to reach the things you want.
