WHO AM I?
Hey there, I’m Cinzia DuBois. I’m a part-time, self-funded PhD student and KZbinr, Podcaster and writer. I’ve been creating videos for over thirteen years. I discuss productivity, personal development, PhD, academia and mental well-being on this channel. On my main channel, I talk about all things dark and ancient history, literature and folklore.

[@chewiecheshire7973]

I'm starting to think Cinzia is a witch because she always seems to release these videos when I need them the most. Either that, or my life is a complete mess, and her videos just happen to be very applicable to it.

[@samparkerSAM]

Perhaps.... She Certainly knows her Craft.... Her stories are certainly great tapestries, Cinzia weaves a lovely world of knowledge that surrounds all of us. The advice she gives is gospel for strivers, May her channel thrive and prosper.

[@BELLADONNANAJWA]

NO BUT SERIOUSLY ..MY TEACHER JUST CHANGED THE WHOLE SEMESTER WITH ONE EMAIL! How did she know i needed this? She is a wittle witch🤎

[@mch12311969]

AS someone who is forever say that I am terrible at time management, I found this to be a thought-provoking perspective, thank you for making this video.

[@NatalieAuroraS]

My goal is to focus on my writing, reading and my crochet. My struggles are: Negative thought patterns, focus and stress management. I unfortunately have been wasting my time with scrolling on instagram and watching videos that don't add to my goals. Watching your video just made me understand that I use these time wasting habits as a coping mechanism to deal my stress and negative thoughts. Thank you so much Cinzia. P.S.: I just created a playlist of your videos so I can access them when I need some words of advice.

[@lesliemoiseauthor]

I love your blend of mythological videos, and the more how-to topics. All are informational, useful, and fun! "Time isn't manageable." Profound.

[@e.m.6536]

I love how you always turn to such vital topics for us, young academics. People (myself included) sometimes don't realize that all of these are quite common things and not just highly specific individual struggles (the burnouts, the inability to find the right partner at an early age, time "management" problems).

[@raventhoman9483]

I have ADHD and undiagnosed autism, I have bad executive dysfunction and half the time I feel like I'm just waiting that way I can do something, I spend so much time mentally screaming at myself because I can't even force myself to do things I need to do to live like eat and drink on a regular basis, I can't do things I want when I want and it's so infuriating to just not have control about what I can and can't do on any given day.

[@CristianAdv]

Keep up the good work, i am so glad i found both your two channels.

[@samparkerSAM]

Same Here, She is wonderful. A Great example for all of us.

[@peckishpagan]

I’m getting ready to start a WFH job, so this is very well timed. Thank you!!

[@SelfHelpShelf]

You got this!

[@MJ-tc3qz]

Hey Cinzia, I really enjoy your videos - keep 'em coming!

[@ShikiPirs]

I like the way you talk, you videos are really calming) and encouraging

[@sohailaelnahrawy6227]

Hi Cinzia!! I don’t usually comment on KZbin videos but I just found your channel and I’ve been binge watching all your videos and I have to say they’re helping me immensely. I’m in med school and it’s been the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do. I’m struggling with it in a lot of ways but im glad I found your videos when I needed them most. Thank you.

[@ClearBlueSky1]

Thank you so much for your video !! Was expecting something different from the popular mainstream hustle culture-y videos and wasn't disappointed at all !! These are issues you can actually work on , rather than vaguely trying to manage time

[@peabubble368]

thank you for this video and sharing your thoughts and perspective on this matter, I really feel some kind of relief after watching it! Its really hard to not beat yourself over "wasting" time, since it is such a limited resource, but I want to make an effort in reminding myself that its okay because I feel like this is something that's making me miserable for quite some time and I really want to change something.

[@hulkmahmut]

At the first part of the video I was like "I already know I cant control 'time' what is she talking about? I already know my problem is the other stuff." but then at the second part of the video you discussed about the real problem and it was helpful thanks.

[@keiththorpe9571]

They say there are never enough hours in the day... But how about minutes...? There sure are a helluva lot of minutes? No, don't get up...I'll show myself out. 🤪 In all seriousness, passivity is the most insidious time-suck that routinely makes a mockery of our schedule. Do something active, no matter how small it may seem.

[@alauniyahh]

definitely gonna be coming back to this video 😭

[@brimarie4196]

I think this way of thinking can be very beneficial, but to imply that everyone is simply not managing priorities ect well enough is short sided. I know many peers who are full time students, full time workers, and parents and there simply aren't any priorities that can budge and there aren't anymore resources that can be pulled to alleviate the burden. For myself my disability means that even though I'd love to do things like hobbies, I physically need to lay down with my eyes closed for much of my day and even though that rest doesn't align with my ideal scenario I don't have the choice to forgo it. Without extreme amounts of rest there is no participation in other things. Even without a disability rest is important for human health. Waking up early and going to bed late and not taking breaks from productive task isn't a healthy way to live. For some people it absolutely is down to a choice/prioritization. But I think a lot of people who desperately try to find time management solutions are looking for control in situations where there isn't much to be had and to not acknowledge that sometimes there isn't enough time to do everything is doing them a disservice by perpetuating their guilt.

[@pestana6073]

I really agree with you, specially in the last paragraph.

[@Shirumoon]

Really liked your comment. I have only watched a few videos on this channel but many ideas of this creator are quite guilt led and only work under the premise of everyone being able to 100% control every aspect of their lives. I have ptsd and have spent more than half my life in therapy trying to learn how to „manage stress“, „manage anxieties“, etc. Adding in health issues into the mix of chronic life force depleters has not been helpful either. In my humble opinion most of the topics discussed on such productivity and personal developement channels come down to lack of social support networks, inadequate or inaccessible health services and a world which forces us to choose between money and prioritizing mental health. It is not our shortcomings. Of course everyone can try to improve things within their personal limitations but I‘d say those limitations make up 60-90% of the entire problem.

[@richardblackmore9351]

I like Stephen King's idea of sitting down and writing for an hour every morning. This applies to me as an aspiring writer, but it is something that everyone can apply. If you're single, married, a dad or Mum. It doesn't matter. We all have one hour a day we could devote to that one thing that matters to US. Remember, Toni Morrison is one of the most prolific writers in history, and she did it all the same way king did. How did a single mom manage to be so successful as a writer? By doing all her writing before her kids woke up in the morning. She did her day job when they went off to school. Eventually she became famous as a writer and didn't need a day job anymore.

[@marialuciasolartrigoso227]

I'm here because i trying to managing time.... i mean, mi lack of Focus, energy, priorities, bad habits and negative thoughts.

[@robcreel4257]

I like to map out my day. From the time I wake up to the time I go to bed, I think about what I want to accomplish throughout the day. Mostly as a guideline and adjust as necessary. Most of the time it works.

[@wandguardnoodle]

Yup, you totally hit the nail on the head with this one. I theoretically have time to do stuff after work, for example, but my problem is that after work I usually have no mental/physical energy to do stuff or have too much decision fatigue from the day to be creative. So I have been trying to get up earlier in the day so I can do yoga and read before work, sometimes I succeed, sometimes I don't. Sometimes I do only 10 minutes of yoga but it is still better than nothing. And of course, I sometimes spend hours watching vlogs on youtube to cope with anxiety/stress xD

[@anthonygallegos4342]

I’m here because you fascinate me and your intelligence stimulates my thoughts

[@ElizaEtoile]

This video just changed my life. You are so smart, Cinzia! ❤️ Thank you.

[@Dmadly321]

You just red and well explained my mind and my life, that vicious circle! GRAZIE

[@theclarabella7399]

Ah is your little woofer a poodle mix! I have a maltipoo (Maltese and poodle) and he always has to be near me too. But I don’t mind that at all 😊

[@carolinpurayidom4570]

ADHD is why I struggle

[@WeLiveByTheSea]

Agreed! For years I bemoaned the fact I never had time to do the things I wanted to do before realising the only person stopping me was ME

[@robertmkorte]

Thanks! This going to be my daily mantra video 🥄🥄🥄

[@Casiopea_azul]

This perspective is really usefull, i've never thought about it like this... and yet i can already see how it could help. Thank you for the great vid.

[@andy2950]

I'm here because you're gorgeous 😊

[@XTamiXx]

I really needed this video now ❤ thank you so much, Cinzia! You‘re a huge Inspiration!

[@rosamundraven]

This was a nice video! Quite honestly, one of the biggest 'breakthroughs' I had recently regarding "time management" and pretty much everything else in life is to correctly organize the hierarchy of my life. To not look at my life as "equal plain field", full of "democracy" slogans. But to "build" a Kingdom in my life. Understand what matters. ❤ ‭‭Luke‬ ‭12:26‬ ‭NASB2020‬‬ [26] Therefore if you cannot do even a very little thing, why do you worry about the other things? [31] But seek His kingdom, and these things will be provided to you.

[@novamckenna701]

Thanks for this. I really needed to hear this today.

[@holyfreak8]

I recently saw a video about in a channel that talks about the trends in modern Economy and how is fashion to say that you have to squeeze every minute of your day ir order to be successful. and how this is not jus unhealthy but it does not guarantee the rewards we are/were conditioned to look for. I hope is no to late to reverse the general burnt out that many people suffers in our society.

[@bloom7722]

I absolutely needed this! Thank you so so much!

[@batman93oo]

One of the hardest things in graduate school while working full-time. Often feels like I live in a self imposed totalitarian regime.

[@oohlookatthatdoggo]

Omg what a phrase! Honestly when I have become a dictator of my own life (also due to grad school) the non-dictator part of me is like "I do whatever I want! I am going to eat a candy bar and you cant stop me!"

[@cate5744]

Great video! Tbh it feels like your videos have come to my attention at the exact point I need them in my life. Dunno if it’s the algorithm or just luck, regardless, I’ve found your videos helpful. Reassuring, supportive and several other versions of the same 😅 Thanks for the ‘frank talk’ videos! ☺️👍

[@JanalynVoigt]

Thanks so much for your perspective. It's helpful.

[@winterburden]

Thanks for this neat time management video Cinzia!

[@sambailie4773]

Cinzia is so classically beautiful. Great content. I have the same glasses. X

[@PolyanneCoelho]

What a powerfull video! Thank you!

[@javieralcon]

I relate to you a lot and feel seen and understood, thank you! 🧡

[@e.tezani3877]

The senior caregivers love to talk about, "time management" But this isnt mcdonalds or walmart.. this is peoples care. There are an infinite number of variables.. therefore, we take our time.

[@xavierharrison7104]

Thanks for posting this. I found your discussion helpful with my own organisation.

[@SelfHelpShelf]

Glad it was helpful!

[@pianoboy3225]

I love your channel! I recently discovered you! Keep at it! You are awesome!

[@mariahsmom9457]

ADHD is time blindness!

[@carolinpurayidom4570]

Thank you girl

[@durandus676]

Exhaustion. You take a shockingly longer amount of time to do anything. I warmed up rice and curry for dinner. 1 hour to eat. I’m so tired I can’t even eat.

[@TheSilveryew]

Thank you, I was coming here to say this! I have to remind myself that, no, you are not lazy, you are tired because you are still processing something huge and awful happening to you. That's tiring to do. 🌹

[@anthis4297]

Thank you for this video

[@AdonisGaming93]

Ideally i would spend my time like you and have my own channel again and create films, but I'm currently working 45-50 hours a week running a retail store and having no time really for anything....but... gotta pay rent and food so... i can't really leave it.

[@Meredith36]

Thank you 💚

[@siobhanirish1307]

Thank you.

I'm here just to learn English. I don't have problems with time. But anyway, thanks.

[@rawlegoshortvideos4919]

Here because of the accent, got to the point it did not matter that much what was said, but how it was said. Then it got a little more interesting. Hope it helped people with time issues.

[@simonliu-uw7tl]

if you fight tartaria free mason and illuminati at the same time,just like me,you will never have enough time😂😂😂

I couldn't subscribe you. For some reason KZbin keeps denying me in that matter.
