Trying to be more productive is making you less productive

We are so completely disconnected from the type of work we are supposed to be doing that we think we don't want to work anymore. Nah, you're just misaligned and burnt out.
Break away from binge watching self-improvement videos, and start building your ideal life in my paid community: cole-hastings....

Hard to let go of the screens when you’re working on screens and trying to not be lonely on screens.

[@CoalHastings]

Hard? Yes. But limits can be set, and changes can be made no matter what you do.

[@Sariimura]

I feel like such a groupie each time you put out a video, *clicks inmediately*. Quality self-improvement content, Cole!

[@CoalHastings]

hahaha thank you. You help boost the CTR

[@MayaHendsenmayajs19442]

Rejecting hustle culture and embracing slow living is the answer for me.

[@CoalHastings]

Slowing down the past couple years is the biggest reason I am the most fulfilled and healthy I've ever been

[@MayaHendsenmayajs19442]

@@CoalHastings Same with me! :) By the way, what happened to your old channel?

[@CoalHastings]

@@MayaHendsenmayajs19442 old channel? Which one

[@MayaHendsenmayajs19442]

​ Huh? The channel that had almost 1M subscribers 🤔

[@baileycollins4271]

I was literally thinking about 20 minutes ago, “jeez no wonder I’m having trouble with focus and memory, I’m trying to learn/progress in 6+ areas at the same time… Maybe I should reign it in and focus on 1 or 2 of those things for now” and then your video popped up. This really helped articulate a lot of thoughts I’ve been having lately, cheers from Australia man 🍻

[@CoalHastings]

Glad to have helped man

[@wilfredpadilla6685]

Oh, I'm confused at first then I realized this is a different channel. Subscribed to Coal!

[@CoalHastings]

Thanks Wilfred!

[@ymmijchen9310]

Thought it's just anther "stop scrolling bro" video. Turns out to be a lot more than that. Cole you best believe we're getting you that house in no time.

[@Bedlaminhavana]

I have been feeling like i need to slow down lately, too. I was obsessed with having a "productive day" until this thought hit me, Can i keep this up forever? I don't wanna be burdened by unreal standards. It's so hard to want to change and regard change and growth as a good thing. I'm trying to live and not simply exist which is kinda what i tend to do when im trying to get everything out of 24 hours. I used to sleep 4 hours a day and i kept this up for 2 years. I'll try to be better. ❤

[@CoalHastings]

Your health is more important than anything. 4 hours a day is a big no. I hope you’ve improved since then

[@thedavidboland]

Yeehaw congrats on 1k 🥳

[@CoalHastings]

Thanks brodie

[@PeterD4268]

Im not trying to be productive at all. I must be extremely productive.

[@CoalHastings]

Work 24/7. No bathroom breaks. Wear a diaper. Good.

[@ConnorEaton-xx5zh]

Love honest KZbinrs

[@gabrielottaviano]

This was great, Cole! I’ve been struggling lately after getting sick twice in a row and losing momentum and focus. Needed do hear this.

[@CoalHastings]

Rest up and come back even stronger, Gabriel

[@Tommyant999]

I started using focus modes on my phone it definitely helps

[@bobbyhild3907]

Ive heard this also called holistic improvement from another youtuber, and this definitely falls in the category I want to be in self improvement wise to get my brain back on track when its lost!

[@CoalHastings]

Not a bad definition of it

[@renepaniagua4882]

Honestly I like to take things nice and slow and pride myself in good quality work over lightening fast stuff that works for a while but can really overwhelming sometimes. I definitely want to take time to think and imagine stuff

[@CoalHastings]

Sounds very aligned with what humans are meant to do

[@Tommyant999]

Gym and making music is what I align with

[@prdx6441]

Haven’t watched your content in a while, got recommended this video. I was like “Wow Cole has really changed up his style of making videos, interesting!”. Then in the end when you hinted that this is a different channel I realized 😂🤦🏽

[@CoalHastings]

Haha yeah, it’s Coal vs Cole

[@retromindset1345]

I always wanted to be a Marine to fight against what I thought to be evil forces against America when I was a little kid and I joined and made it into Artillery, and there were good moments as well as bad. It wasn’t what I thought so I got out after 4 years with a disappointment even though I did what I wanted and just have felt lost ever since then

[@CoalHastings]

There’s something out there for you to commit to, just gotta create that direction

[@Unsensitive]

​@@CoalHastings This for sure. I had a similar experience in my career. I thought I wasted a ton of time and effort, which is never get back. This is the wrong way to think about it, *_knowledge is never wasted._* 10 years later I was applying what I learned to my job in other ways giving a unique perspective. Having the skills I acquired has opened other doors to me. I'm not where I thought I would be 30 years ago, but enjoy my work. The path of life is winding, rarely going where you expect, but sometimes comes back around in interesting ways.

[@NeonRazer42]

Honestly it seems like this channel is the same as your first. Except you come across as more rambling than your main channel.

[@CoalHastings]

That is…exactly what it is supposed to be

[@cratonic_]

Ngl cole, ill say, its best to hustle in the internet to make a portfolio so that i can freelance twice a week to have more time.😊

[@CoalHastings]

Going harder at the start helps. I know it helped me. Listen to your brain and body when it tells you to slow down. There’s a time and season for everything

[@cratonic_]

@@CoalHastings that's the best way to put it. Calm down when actually your body says to calm down.

Cole, I really like yyour videos especially the research you do. How do you do all the research? I want to do it as well. Can you make a step by step video on it? Or please just explain the process in the comments please.

[@CoalHastings]

Mostly just through googling about the topic, picking reliable sources/studies, then watching similar videos on it that already have studies linked in the description

[@jonnypaspula]

What’s the saying again? Slow down to go fast?

[@CoalHastings]

Yeah, something like that. You have to go slow to go fast

[@cartersalna4335]

great video man i appreciate it, do you have any advice for getting started on youtube? like not necessarily how to get subs etc. but just kinda how to feel like you’re qualified enough to make a video on something?

[@CoalHastings]

Don’t wait to become qualified to create. You have to start creating to become more qualified.

[@cartersalna4335]

@@CoalHastings hell of a point. i appreciate the response man

[@divyv20]

Hey Coal Hastings ! I loved this video . I work with entrepreneurs like you who have under 1k subscribers to help them to grow to 50k subscribers in under 12 months with proper systems . I actually helped Chirag to achieve 92k subscribers in under 11 months . Could I do a free audit to see if I can help you do the same ? I just think it's really important that more people see your content and want to help you on that mission .
