    Thanks for the tips, Olly. In a world where gear can make or break a video, this advice really resonates with me. While having top-notch equipment is a plus, I believe that starting simple with what you already have is the best approach to filmmaking. Personally, I can't afford expensive gear, but I'll make the most of what I have to bring my vision to life.

People should note that at 4:05 it says white noise has been shown to have cognitive benefits for *neurotypical people* - that is, people without ADHD or Autism, etc. I’m not saying brown noise would cause us harm (I have autism). They either didn’t include neurodivergent people in their study or they did and it provided them no benefit.

      Like you say, it really is important to regularly check in with the direction of your life and ensure that you are actually enjoying what you are doing. If you don't do this and don't take breaks, it can lead to burn out. It is interesting to hear you comment about contacts, if you check out my new video this Monday, this should offer more of an insight on the type of relationships you need in your life and how to build better ones. Excited to see you there :)

    I begun a "did do" journal. This journal I fill with things that I did do, not stuff to do. I know what I have to do, so to do lists bore me. But when I sit down to list all the stuff I DID DO, my brain feels pretty happy. To make my brain even more happy, I created a score system in which I highlight my healthy choices, brushing teeth, putting sunscreen on, reading, working out, so on. And I have scores for them. At the end of the day, I highlight my healthy choices and add up my score for the day! Sometimes I get a new high score. And sometimes in the evening I feel pressure to raise my score so I'll quickly go take my supplements or I'll brush my teeth just to get a few more points.

      Yeah I've tried (physical) journaling, and mixing it with to-do lists, but my biggest success with that have been digital apps. On the other hand, journaling on those digital apps just doesn't really feel meaningful to me. I was watching this video because I'm thinking of continuing to use digital apps to manage and schedule tasks and even projects, and use a physical journal to log the things that I did that actually made my life better. I have a lot of tasks that I kind of have to do for work and stuff, but there will be some that I actually enjoyed doing or I felt were actually important, and I can just log these highlights in the journal. I feel like I may be able to leverage the best of both worlds like this, but I will only be sure after I have implemented this for a while

      That sounds like such a cool idea! Would you mind elaborating a little more? How do you decide what task gets which score? How many points are the max?

      I realize I’ve been doing the same thing! Instead of putting my to do list in my journal, I place it on a whiteboard as 3 lists of need to do/should do/would do. Then at night I write in my journal an “accomplishment list” ❤️

    • @ric6611
      @ric6611 Před měsícem

      Just an update, I'm enjoying the system I talked about so far (which is similar to the original comment, but no scores -- I didn't want to start with something complex, maybe with time I add to my system). I still schedule and keep track of my tasks in digital apps, but in my journal I log the things that I liked about the day, whatever I found particularly interesting, or what I could've done better in case something didn't go as planned. I had a real problem with going to bed at the end of the day before. I laid in bed feeling like I didn't accomplish much, and it made it harder for me to fall asleep. I may have felt busy the whole day but couldn't really think of anything to show for it. This journaling system actually makes me sleep better and feel satisfied with the day because I can know for sure if I actually accomplished something. There was even a day where journaling made me realize I didn't do anything particularly fulfilling, but being aware of it still made it not feel as bad about it. As I said earlier, when I point out something negative I try to think of a way to improve it next time, so I made some plans for the day after to make up for it. Logging the positives feels good, and if you think of a way to improve the negatives, they sting a lot less or don't even sting at all because at least you turned the negative into a small tip for improvement. Little disclaimer, this is just less than a week of trying this, but I see myself continuing it in the near future. I genuinely enjoy writing about my day before going to bed (but it's not the only time I do it).

    One thing that would really help me is in the description when giving the chapter of you could name them according to the habit instead of "habit 1" that would really help

    • @ollystaniland

      Ah thanks for the suggestion. The reason why I put habit 1 instead of the actual name was because I thought it would make people more curious about what each of the chapters are about :)
