"having loads to do" is so true! Im finishing my masters degree and in my first year i didn't have a part time job and i was often lazy and leaving stuff to the last minute, but in my second year i got a job and am working anywhere up to 5 days a week and i haven't been more productive in a long time! Having something else you know you need to do forces you to be more productive on all tasks i think.

The idea of 'having loads to do' resonated with me so much. Often think there's something up with me when I'm flip-flopping between hobbies/projects, so it's nice to know it's not just me. 'Keeping sleep simple' is great as well. I don't know when people became obsessed with everything being data that has to be linked to your phone, instead of "I'm tired - better go sleep".
@JoelSnape15 ай бұрын
I'm glad this made sense! Something I find in particular is that if I have a writing project and an editing project on, I'll get bored of one but be in the mood for another. And I agree on sleep! There's a lot of financial incentive for people to make stuff complicated (and I'm lucky that I've never REALLY struggled with sleep), but I really don't think it needs to be too in the weeds.

@@JoelSnape1 The playful practice. I've often found that practice is unsustainable particularly with an instrument like violin if done in a regimented way. It's better to approach sections as if you are simply trying to extract the most resonant sound out of every note by toying with the contour rather note for note. I also find practicing in micro-bursts more fun.

I've also never really had problems falling asleep due to exposure to screens just before bed (and god knows I still do that a lot lol). I don't know how much this affects my sleep on the biological level, but as far as feeling like you've got a restful sleep and feeling good the next day, I've noticed it mostly comes down to all my other habits throughout the day (as well as my mental state) rather than the sleep itself. In other words, as long as I get 7-8 hours of sleep I'll be good to go as long as I've kept up some healthy routines the day before. And the same goes for falling asleep - my mental state has probably been the biggest factor in how easily I fall asleep (which, if this is indeed the case, this could be an alternative potential explanation as to why people have trouble falling asleep after doom scrolling in bed... 😉👀)

what are the most important daytime habits for you that affect your sleep? :)
@Gigusx5 ай бұрын
@@timon844 Hard to say since I don't really optimize my sleep (if anything, I'm probably disturbing it), instead I just try to optimize my day and a good sleep follows. I don't know if it's because I feel more accomplished and less like I've wasted my day, but I can't remember a time when I've just had a decent day but slept badly afterwards, and I can definitely remember the opposite when I've spent a day distracting myself. And in terms of optimizing a day - just doing something healthy for yourself (movement, exercise - I don't always like going out for a walk, but I ALWAYS feel much better when I do). Having some productivity system in place to get stuff done, learning things, having hobbies, learning languages, etc. Less/no social media. I don't go super deep into productivity but I like learning new things however I can and always feel pretty good after that. Mindfulness is also a big one, regular meditation and taking things more slowly and being aware as much as you can. All that helps with alleviating stress and giving a purpose to what you do which are all good for you 👍

Great video lots of good food for thought. I was wondering if you could clarify something, you said you write everything down - what exactly do you mean? Like a list or an entry of some kind and do you mean everything you do or just a general list. Sorry if I am overthinking what you meant.
@JoelSnape16 ай бұрын
Sorry, yeah - I didn't clarify this very well. What I mean is that on my work projects and hobbies, I keep track of where I'm at and what my day to day plan is, so that I don't have to waste any brain-time on going 'Oh what was I supposed to be doing here' and it's easy to just jump in. So eg for work I have a spreadsheet of the newsletters and videos I have planned, and what the next steps are for each (eg finish the script, film the video, research one thing etc) and for hobbies I have the things I'm trying to improve at (each at BJJ it's leglocks right now, so the next thing is to watch a bit of leglock instructional and take notes every night)
