Routines | Art

[@meh3083]

i love that you use this channel still and dont forget about it. i like that you dont totally lose the personal expression in youtube to fear of algorithms and viewer retention stuff. thanks for just making videos because you want to. i want to leave this comment just because im early, but yeah, i mean what im saying. thankyou

[@zoev128]

It's strange knowing other people have this exact same problem as me, because it still feels so lonely when I'm in it. I'm glad you made this, anway.

"I've got axioms. I don't follow 'em. We just keep going." Same, Greg.

[@babygorilla4233]

I am not you I am me, and I will follow you're advice, doing my thing daily. Today I used leftover refrigerant line, fishing line and old bottles to make a hanging moss garden. It's coming together nicely, flowed right through me as you said. Started cleaning the labels and now it's 11 at night. The frame is soldered and polished copper, the bottles are spaced apart in an appealing way.

[@KajaKay]

That sounds so cool! I love moss!

[@babygorilla4233]

@@KajaKay I looked like a madman gathering it tho. Going hiking with the family, stopping every time I see new moss to stick it in my pocket.

Myers briggs is mostly bunk but I'll concede there is are some shards of wisdom in there. The key is focusing on Jung (based) rather than 16personalities or mbti online communities (cringe)

Hi Greg! We here at International Viewers Incorporated would like to remind you that this upload "schedule" works perfectly for us, watching this in broad daylight and life is good. However we do second Viewers Incorporated's suggestion for you to get some sleep because we care about your wellbeing and want you to keep producing content for us to feed our insatiable needs. Goodnightt Gregory.

[@damagicveggi]

Hearing the scattered rambles is helpful, there are plenty of overproduced advice videos

[@xxp0siZlayr]

Hi Greg! We here at Viewers Incorporated would like to remind you that it is just before midnight on Sunday. Unfortunately, this means that we have to sleep. Please get a sleep schedule. Thanks!

[@Cunnysmythe]

Sounds like a routine to me

[@squarrot9355]

I disagree

[@loquens5060]

As a representative of European Department of Viewers Incorporated (EDVI), I would like to inform you that we do not support this suggestion. Thanks!

[@saara6414]

@@loquens5060 As a fellow representative of the European community I can state that its definitely the most optimal time as it's 8am but Gregory shall do it as he wishes since it's clearly something he's passionate about.

jreg you are inflicting too many emotions with all of these uploads

[@thechurchofgravity]

Loving these routine uploads!

[@cryptidghoul9778]

Thank you Greg

[@flossdeakin3756]

I definitely think theres a place for routine in creativity but I reckon it could actually be a bit detrimental to whatever it is you're making?? Like I've found if I sit down every day to write a bit of music (if I have a deadline or smthn), the days where I force myself to write I end up going back and deleting those bars a few days later. Because you can't force good ideas - and for me at least when I try to I end up just getting rid of that bit. Unsure if that's just me tho lol. HOWEVER you can still do a bit every day? Like just THROWING DOWN IDEAS on a proper creative day vs fixing things on a less-creative day. Not sure what the painting/writing etc equivalent would be but if I've written some music I'll go back and fix the way I've notated it and the way the score works, like all the maths stuff I hate doing. Vvv interesting topic again tho I'm SO here for this series!!

[@comrade_mikey6138]

omg he’s a jungian typology guy lol he should def check out socionics

[@cassiopeia8066]

AGREED that would be very epik. Betacide when?

[@Random-ti4lu]

genuinely looking forward to these every day. feels like i’m getting slapped in the face with all the self wisdom i’ve tried to give myself over the past few years and never acted upon

[@isnortshrooms]

Greg I am disappointed by the lack of secret messages to schizophrenics in the recent videos, I feel far too sane watching this, almost like I want to maintain a schedule instead of acting on whim at all times. Almost.

[@SecretSynth]

I'm really enjoying hearing your thoughts about the artistic process (even though I'm not an artist myself)!

thanks for the inspiration! gonna write now

[@carlspringer7024]

Hey, you're early tonight, Jreg!

[@tianyeG]

Routines really helps when the inspiration hasn't descend on you in weeks because they just won't and sometimes you(ME) need to do the shit like JUST DO THE SHIT TEHHTDSHSHIS DOITDOITDOIT and catch them.

[@charlie-kl9zr]

loving these videos, genuinely inspiring and feeling very relevant to life right now. thank you so much!!!

[@DaCavola]

good advice, love the final tension

[@neonmaelstrom1495]

genuinely good advice, dont think ive ever come across someone claiming to 'help motivation' that sounds so feasible. thanks dude :)

[@cryptidghoul9778]

I love you Greg

[@cassiopeia8066]

YO IM SO HYPED It's really cool that you know about cognitive functions. Idk if you read these comments but do you have other thoughts about MBTI/cognitive functions? Not all of them would fit into your content I think, like Ni/Se, but the conflict between Fe and Fi seems sort of relevant. Of course that's up to you, I'm just curious. As for routines; about 2 years ago I made a deal with myself that I would go for a walk everyday. It isn't exactly an artistic thing, but those additional 5 kilometres really helped me both with staying active, organising my inner world but also feeling closer to nature and the world around me (which can be difficult when you're always staring at a screen) and I honestly just started because of the first perk. And perhaps it is time to bring forth the old notebook and just write something. Learn how that music program works and make *something*. Just something. I'll do that today for 5 minutes, maybe less, but it's better than nothing at all. Maybe it too will have additional perks? It's great to see that you're being active on this channel. Thank you for giving so many people motivation to try again, Greg (-:

[@AcornBroadcast]

Hi Mr Guevara! I think this was a great video in context of how my routine has been. I have never really been able to follow one long as you said yourself, but I have found myself the past few days purposefully waking up earlier (5am to 6am) and going to bed earlier to watch this videos. So if you ever needed a motivator to keep going with this series your helping out some random uni student’s sleep schedule. Thank you for the horrific tension as well. It’s good for me to try and form my own understanding with information given, and I do think that it’s useful that with some advice you should attempt to work out on your own :)

[@SoVidushi]

Living for these daily uploadss

[@monnicamii]

I have a hard time following routines too, the only one i can do is working for more than 3 hours on making music everyday. "Inspiration exists, but it has to find you working" -ernesto che guevara, donald treagan, paris hilton, antonin artaud, dn

I feel you Greg. This video was most helpful

[@fiona8081]

the people who would benefit from a solid routine most are the ones who are absolute shit at establishing any routine or semblance of regularity whatsoever

[@godzillaeyes]

Hi that's me

[@TrizzyB47]

First notification I got of you doing these. At least I got one of them now, I can watch the other 2!

[@Sam-mx4ux]

Thank you for this, and of course, I struggle with this as well. Somehow with a desk full of a planners, a phone full of reminders and 3 different calendars around the house I just canNOT stick to a routine, it's driving me nuts- It's frustrating but sometimes I do just have to essentially spam reminders at myself to just sit down and do stuff, or plan stuff to do, or organise my stuff where I plan the stuff I wanna do- all so I can make that damn *something* that's been haunting my creative brain for the last month

[@pingas469]

routines are good, as far as mechanical skill is concerned, imo. Ties into the whole innovation vs iteration thing

i have adhd, this sound relateable

nice one greg, you sure showed those disorganised people who's how to succeed

[@zaietsimon]

I really can't express how much I appreciate someone who got this problem that talks about it, while still struggling with it, really helped me with the past two videos, keep em coming

[@MrSomeDonkus]

I have a set of routines that i switch off of once every month or so because doing the same thing for to long messes with my head. Although i guess i do have the routine of drawing everyday, but only because its the only thing that makes me happy. I must admit that even for as long as i have spent drawing in my life I don’t have very much technical drawing skills. It’s all random self indulgent nonsense that could never be useful or marketable to anyone except for myself. But hey, until i realized how much i love drawing all i ever thought about was low much i hated everything and hoped that i didnt wake up the next day. So id say i’m doing a whole lot better than where i was all those years ago. Anyway, routines are good as long as you don’t over do it to the point you get yourself stuck in a rut, is where i was originally going with this comment until i remembered the drawing thing. Also what i think i will take away from this video is to spend more time learning technical stuff about drawing everyday so that maybe one day i could make a few extra dollars on the side because i’ve been putting off actually learning how to draw for like 7 years at this point.

[@KajaKay]

I also really need a routine but just can't stick to it.. I tried drawing daily but I did it for three days and haven't done it the last two, but I'm still gonna continue it, it's somewhat easy and fun. But also my new semester starts today.. And I am crap at doing anything for that, my last semester and all the ones before that were horrible, and I like to blame the switch to online teaching on it, at least my first semester I had to wake up and physically go somewhere to listen to them, but now it's online or I just get Videos and.. Nope, watching multiple hour-long videos a week really doesn't fit into my non-existent routine.. And I can't do that just five minutes.. But yeah, art is better for this, or doing push ups or some sport or even learning a language on some app.. That's a thing I actually did everyday for five minutes a day for the last 3 weeks! Until yesterday, but I mostly did it 10 minutes before midnight anyway and I forgot. So, having a routine in sorta 'useless' things is somewhat easier for me but not for things I actually need for my future but have no motivation for anyway.. Sorry, for pretty much just rambling about my life.

[@TheRealIanRojo]

I'm making my weekly meal preps after work tonight so I can start eating them on a Monday. Going on 3 weeks without stopping between. I love having more time to procrastinate on artistic pursuits.

[@yovaniidotcom]

Hi it's me "you figure it out!" Thanks for handing over the reins Greg. I've found that when you shit out your work as soon as the inspiration comes. You feel sort of distant from your work, it doesn't feel like you made it and you always feel like it could have been better if you spent more time on it. Though conversely you may scrap your idea all together if you don't do something with that inspiration once you get it. You might, and I'm talking about me, decide everything you do is stupid and give up for a couple months! :>

[@LuckyOtter_WorldBuilding]

This is advice I needed for running my channel

[@ilikebeans6776]

[@KlemensasKozlovas]

Bro these videos have been making me feel weird. I was routineless for quite some time and honestly now when I have a sort of soft routine it's so much better because it's less stressful and it gives me time to improvise but at the same time I know that I'll work at least somewhat during the week on my ideas and not just sit around doing nothing

@@carlspringer7024 facts, the reason I got that far with the ai was because me and a friend were tossing the keyboard back and forth, writing increasingly depraved shit, and you'd be surprised how fast it went to soft smut.

[@m0nkeywrench]

Hey just wanted to say thank you for making this series, managed to get me on a good motivation roll to continue working on my book, I'd halted progress on it for years due to wavering interest in what I'd written, overcomplicating worldbuilding & other fluff that isn't important. Plus you've got some really interesting things to say too, keep it up my man, you show those procrastinating artists (me) who's boss! :P

[@Staggedtree]

I like the part where you begin to your sentence and then just decide to not finish it, it was some nice subversion. I have an idea, how about you do the same thing with your whole career

ok ok think buddy think what can you do for 5 minutes

ok i will start with the most basic and not even related to art: im going to finish building my millennium falcon half an hour a day because i like doing it but still video games is more appealing but yeah ill start from there
