Thorin's Side - Doing it Every Day in the War of Art (Book/Philosophy)

[@jdeuk499]

I have watched this video at least 40 times in these past 4 years, it is so important to me

[@Tricollore]

I listen to it also at least once a week, mostly on my way to work, just as a reminder. One of the most important videos I’ve ever watched

[@abraham1331]

Thank you so much for the video, Thorin. I really miss these types of videos, they were my favorites. The video helped me structure my day better, get things done quicker and enjoy my free time more.

[@JackSpicer-mi2jj]

Essential video. I remember watching this back in the day. Big respect for Thorin on this and also for not rushing out a PR statement once he broke the streak. IIRC, he ‘came out’ a little later with some vid or gossip on BTN about why the habit broke down. Also good to change things up and share the knowledge downstream, even when the changes are ostensibly downgrades for your paycheck or your audience-base.

[@viggy2k66]

Thank you so much Thorin, i read this book, and its honestly helped me so much with studies and distractions. I cannot use words to communicate my gratitude for your recommendation.

[@itanocircus2077]

An excellent read I would not have otherwise discovered. Thank you for making this video.

[@HackFo]

"If you want something done you break it down into smaller parts" I've been saying that to my friends and family for years! It's a weird feeling when you see your ideas expressed by other people. You kind of go around wishing for it to happen. Because if it is a good idea, then why has no one else already thought about it? Thank you for this video, Duncan

[@TheCreatureoftheday]

It nice one of the most intellectual guys I know is discussing about more than just video games.

[@as23d-q3i]

I'm loving the philosophical content. Keep it up. One of my biggest regrets is that I never taught myself how to enjoy leisurely reading. I'm going to give this book a shot. Thanks!

[@kishorraika6411]

Hope youve read the thing, improved and are on your way to good future! xD

[@Thooorin]

Buy Ender's game and start on page one. If you don't like it then close it and pick something else that sounds interesting. Repeat until you have read a book because you enjoyed it, not thinking you had to.

[@birkharju1270]

I get to back to this video from time to time. I guess it is something that most people can recognize in themselves. Hopefully more content like this in the future.

[@Viriyascybin]

I come back to this video a couple of times every year. Thanks thorin!

[@atonix-p8i]

Using this video to procrastinate studying :)

[@Persian_Rug_Merchant]

Hey it's me your brother. How are you man?

[@CyniuThunder]

I'm not sure if I watched this video in 2017 when you uploaded it but I think it's even better that I found it right now, I really needed it. I have to rebuilt my habbits to avoid procrastination as much as possible to enchance my everyday life. You have brought up a great topic and you have good points that makes you think, good job, thanks for this.

[@anvilarium90]

First time i think i comment on one of your videos. Really speaks to me when i'm trying to study for an exam. Big thanks for this video motivated me a lot!

[@ross.wilson]

can tell this is going to be a good one already

[@gironni3158]

Thank you Thorin! I've always had you as my favourite csgo analyst because i know you're authentic. That means, you show your thoughs withour fearing being wrong as I presented few times. I've always been aware of my procrastination, haven't related it to my fears though. And more importantly, i never expected to hear this from you. It's 5:20AM here in brazil now, and i'm charting my wishes, making plans and steps. Tomorrow is another day and it's never too late to start. I know this can sound silly, but you might have just changed a 21 years old man's life. Thanks !

[@Leo-wd5wc]

How life is going, mate?

[@ewweg]

such thing as perfect art does not exsist, there is always improvements to be made. good vid!

[@jackochoko5469]

Hey Thoorin! Thanks for making awesome vidoes!

[@midorikia]

I can totally relate to this and say it works wonderfully for writing processes. It's also a decent philosphy for life in a broader sense. You can break almost anything imaginable down into these smaller brick parts that you have to tackle one at a time. Great video :)

[@Bulldawzer]

Definitely really good content, mate. I am in the middle of changing the direction of my career and have been committed for the last couple weeks to learn as much as I need to have a decent foundation. While I did part of it right, I first found out what it is that I need to know and sort of built the structure around it, I didn't really break it down to little pieces which has had the effect on me and some days simply seem overwhelming and I end up being unproductive. I had recommended this book to my girlfriend (without having read it myself) since she's more on the artistic side and it had a notable effect on her too. I still haven't found my way to reading it because there are so many great books that I want to read. Cheers, keep pushing it.

[@Mugway]

My favorite video on this channel so far. You're doing great work m8.

[@botesz20]

Probably the best video that you did Thorin, keep up the good work! I'm gonna show this to my friends and talk about it for a while. Also, your accent is sooo great to listen to! ;)

[@SightsandSages]

Appreciate the content and guidance Thorin.

[@misteralfredo]

I do something similar to starting early. I start early as well, but the big thing I do is called "pomodoro". I break work into 20 minutes of work with 5 minute breaks. Just 20 minutes, then 5 minutes to do whatever. Then right back to it. Over. And over. And over. I've got so much done since starting it and as a software developer writing code all day, it makes huge features with thousands of lines of code really simple and tacklable.

[@kallewarn]

Great episode. It really inspired me to change my habits.I will go read Steven pressfields book.Thanks for the good work, Duncan.

[@timotheepiron1051]

Man we need more of this kind of content this is just amazing. Even if I had already figured out some parts of it, its great to hear it from someone else. And its even better to know that there's a book dedicated to this !

[@coteret3688]

So cool to see you post about this book, I absolutely love this book, changed my perspective for the better.

[@egomanfreeman1]

thanks for helping me with so many things in my life thorin!

[@janilehto8862]

thank you. read it and it had positive impact for my mindset.

[@eiatos]

I was wondering if you had read War of Art, it's amazing how much you can apply the "resistance" concept in daily life. Always made my choices much clearer

[@SUPERTEROO]

Relevant to my life. Cheers.

[@Rupi57]

Great Video, thank you.

[@XKazeem]

Is there a chance that we could see you on the Joe Rogan Podcast?

[@mdudley229]

Thoorin is the JoeRogan of Esports It would be interesting

[@CatnamedMittens]

Ismail Celer It's by invitation. So Joe would have to invite him.

[@XKazeem]

Yeah, maybe recommending Thorin on JRE Reddit or something like that would help.

[@VadimPakhutkin]

It's definitely likely. Joe Rogan already embrased esports in a way by having n0thing on, quite a while ago.

[@CatnamedMittens]

Vadim Pakhutkin I wouldn't really say he embraced it.

[@undergroundman6602]

Great video Thorin.

[@KevinSanscartier]

Great content as always thooorin! I really enjoyed this video and would love if you did more! I'm a musician in university and agree that this is quite accurate to making a living income!

[@TheElectriczil]

Great video more like this please

[@TheSushiDesu]

Life changing content

[@Ryan-9000]

Wise words man :) Thanks.

[@hungerxhunger2548]

Great video and keep providing us quality content as always.

[@Bottles7]

You are an extremely interesting man Thorin.

[@zardi9083]

Great video !

[@wesleyboucher2322]

very inspirational video, thanks qt

[@oosbando]

Thanks for this.

[@pessoafixe1]

i needed this, thank you

[@Ph4nt4sm4ge]

This is your best video by far

[@AbdulrahmanMajash]

Couldn't help not liking this video. Spoke to me so much that I said unconsciously and out loud "mmmhm! Oh yeaaa! That's so true" as if he was in front of me hahaha.

[@MrRevsRs]

These videos are great

[@tgamagedon]

Ok, now I know I'm even bad at being depressed, thanks Thooorin. Anyway though, great video.

[@Daantjer]

21:20 Flashback to an other video Great vid as always.

[@santashelpa]

love u dude, ill show u my music when im done, DO IT EVERYDAY, yep there is no other way

[@jojow158]

When I first started, I just wrote about how imperative it was for Blizzard to make Overwatch a success going forward. I wanted to get into esports so I kept writing because it was the best way to build a network and meet people from different orgs. You need to find something you are passionate about, keep going with it and never look back. That's how I met Thorin at Gfinity and other people in the industry at other events etc. If you focus on something and you are consistent and disciplined, things begin to fall into place.

[@Krideezy]

Watching this again since the second channel is starting up again. It’s aged well.

[@legendofsource]

@thooorin, have you considered the possibility that insecurity is not what is causing people resistance, but is instead what is causing people to seek out things that they end up resisting?

[@theWexlord]

At first I read this as The Art of War, thought for a second Thorin was going all the way back in literature :D

[@wesleyboucher2322]

*watches this instead of doing what i should be doing*

[@villainsinker9282]

Wesley Boucher iî

[@rory9983]

Wesley Boucher maybe this should be what you are doing

[@dharmaqueen1549]

Was the time worth it when you look back now?

[@matressking]

Joe Rogan just spoke of this book with Rhonda Patrick. Im looking to pick this book up.

[@Daklos]

I'm watching this while i should be studying for exams.

[@TheWP120]

I miss read the title, thought it said The Art of War the one by Sun Tzu, my favorite!

[@VoodoomanSean]

I felt anxiety listening to much of what he talked about from the book. I will take much of the latter part to heart and improve as I agree that doing your obligations early is one the best ways to feel content about your day.

[@NGEternal]

20:52 "Most people live in a delusion of bullshit where their fears are set in place because they're so egotistical they imagine they should be fantastic at something." Sounds awkward on paper but the idea is so true.

[@Venserql]

Ask for Amazon partnership, put a book link in the description and whenever someone uses it to buy something you get skrilla.

[@55555666660]

16:00 The book The Power of Habit talks about this.

#BasedThoorin

[@Bynming]

I'm 27, everything about my life sucks but I have a decent, soul-wrecking job that pays very well. I have been getting interested in poker but I can't learn to be good at it without spending money to learn and end up possibly sucking at it anyway. How do I git gud?

[@prawtism]

Spend the money now, the worst that can happen is that you will still suck, but at least you will know that and can start thinking about what to do next way earlier than if you hesitate for months.

[@iFParasit]

id say play it? read about it? even if its just online just do it and if u cant get better at all eventhough u invest time into it then just keep it as a hobby and have fun with it

[@Bynming]

Sven N. If I lose money in the long run it becomes a failure and that's not fun :P

[@tempname4039]

set aside an amount you can afford to lose and only use that money? What you said sounds very similar to my situation. Good luck :)

[@Bynming]

I suppose, but if I have to limit how much I can put into it, that does put a dent in the notion of "practice every day". If I get busted after 2 days playing, what do I do then? Put in another $500? If I continue to suck and I can't afford to learn then it becomes gambling and I'm no better than the poor sob pulling on the slot machine handle while crying.

[@vienguo]

genius Thorin

[@csCherry]

Don't start a cult because I just might join. Even though most of this can always be simplified to "just do it", I think it is good to actually look at the things you do and see why you do them. I love The War of Art and for me the most comforting and helpful thing is to tell myself to do just a little bit. I don't have to finish this whole essay but I will get the introduction done. After having done that it feels good to do some bonus stuff. So set your goals low and you'll trick yourself to do them and even more.
