love this style that feels like youre showing us as around, its v cosy. I also used to do the productivity/creativity mood set up,, but somehow i found that i tend to obsess about the whole mise-en-scene process,, e.g. "do I want to light candles?, do I sit at my desk or the sofa??, making the tea, do I need snacks???" etc etc. 🙈 absolutely feel the same stress about numbered countdown, so the hourglass is a wonderful idea. i also now that limiting the "mood" options actually forces me to get to work, so in a way, being in an office or a cafe, where I can't spend too much money, is a good set up (although I also do speak my ideas out loud, which is not an ideal thing to do in a library or coffee haha)

[@AhsanteB]

THANKS! Yeah I tried a new camera set up/ filming style for this one and I'm really liking it. That's interesting about getting lost in the mise-en-scene process, makes sense to keep your options limited. And yeah, creation in private is my preference so I don't feel judged for talking through my ideas to myself, lol

@@AhsanteB Personally, I don’t trust people who DON’T talk to themselves aloud lol 😉

Asante, this is seriously one of your best videos! You are really talented:)

[@SOULarLioness]

Wow. I really like how you’re always droppin’ a book recommendation throughout your videos!

[@AhsanteB]

😁 😁 😁 Love a good book rec! Glad you appreciate :)

[@SOULarLioness]

I love lists too! I’m the List Queen!! Lmao. And actually…I recently realized that planners give me anxiety! And what’s crazy is I always found planners to be satisfying, fulfilling, and making me feel all organized and on top of things…IN THEORY. But actually USING them? I haven’t properly used a planner since I was in college! I’m a whole different person now! I just realized this and I’m glad I did…because that way, I can just accept this and move on instead of constantly wasting money on all these beautiful planners! Lol

Love the style here, and your great insights.

[@OrbyStormy420]

I absolutely adore your process and how relatably mindful your ways of finding creativity through busy / productive times are. Big appreciation for the sand timer method too that had me in audible realization /positive!!! I am interested in the literature you've shared as well and am excited to hopefully read, as well as consume more of your cool content :} ‼️💌🦐 ALSO I NEED TO KNOW WHAT THE PURPLE STRETCHY FIDGET TOY AT 9:31 IS 💜🥹 ‼️‼️
