      Van, I have some advice for you.... at 3:59, you said "the nap tweak knocks him out for the day". The secret to a successful nap is to limit it to 20-30 minutes... and NO more! Set a timer for 30 minutes and get up right after that. Been doing that for decades. Any btw, the nap is necessary for us early birds. I noted you wake up at 4am. I am a 5:30am kind of guy and routine is essential to keep that sleep/wake structure going.

    Hi Van/viewers,
    As much as I agree that "the routine" is the way to optimize work. I do sometimes think that it may be more efficient in the long run to be less-efficient day to day, but use novel experiences to maintain interests and spirit. Our brain is tuned in and present during a novel experience. The brain uses novel experiences to punctuate and catalog time. That is why when we get older time moves faster, the brain throws out blocks of time which is repetitive or routine data. Why can we remember every second of that hour long first date with our first lover so clearly, and yet we cant remember any of the hour long commute from last week. Novelty in life begets more lived "time" and feeds the curious spirit. It is by no accident you refresh a little by fixing things (always novel) and spending time with your boy(his entire life is novel so far). I don't mind if you pump the brakes on filming honestly, give me a short simple video of fixing something around your house any day.

      True, and a good rule-of-thumb to try to keep life fresh. Someone recently said in a CZcams video, "when presented with two options, always choose the option that results in the better story", which has really played on my mind.
      But a life pursuing 'novelty' can also become a rod for your back. Am I experiencing enough new things? Am I wasting my life doing the same things again? Why should I do this housework, it's so banal?
      For me creating a spiritual 'centre' in my life perpetuated by daily cycles (routines of maintenance) has been key to my feeling contented and putting an end to my ever-present sense of being on-edge and stressed out.

  • @thejohnfish

    I’m sorry you’re feeling this way. I, too, have felt this burnout. Given your decades of experience on me, you might not need my advice but I’ll give it anyways for other commenters or in case it strikes a nerve. I think that there are two components to getting out of burnout. The first component is to recognize what it is that put you in a deficit and to put an end to it. It might be physical (sleep, exercise, vitamin/hormone deficiencies) or behavioral (monotonous projects, uninspiring and grueling work) but take the time to explore these things and do your best to remedy them using research-backed solutions. Don’t listen to bullshit on diets and sleep from the internet. Get blood work done, listen to your doctor, listen to professors, and experiment with what gives you the ideal results. Experimentation is key: don’t let your attachment to a routine hold you back from iterating into a better behavioral pattern. The second component is to extend patience towards yourself. Just as burnout is not an overnight process, neither is recovery from burnout. Best of luck, spirited man!

    You're completely spot on about how this is a condition of the soul. I figured this out the past couple of years when I knew I wasn't living what I was destined to do. When you realize this, the "fatigue" will hit you like a Mack Truck and start to crush your soul the second you sit down to do what you're not supposed to be doing. Once you start doing what you're supposed to do, a fire will ignite in your belly and you will have so much energy and desire to work, you will only stop to eat when loved ones remind you to. You will work long after the sun goes down and the only reason you go to bed is so that you can get up earlier and start working on the desires of your heart & soul at the earliest possible time. Great video Van, great reminder for us all.

    Hey Van,
    It’s not exactly fatigue that you were facing, it’s low energy.
    Try eating a big breakfast soon after you wake up. Make it high protein, low carbs. Doesn’t matter if you’re not hungry, or you dont do breakfast, just eat it. Do it for energy, not for pleasure.
    Cause I’m sure you already know this, it’s not how much time you have, it’s how much energy you have. Energy follows motivation, follows focus, follows productivity.

    I literally just spend the past month researching burnout for a video and I totally understand!
    I don't know how far you are along your process or if you're getting help, but I can at least share what I learned here for others if that might help :)
    Red flags of burnout:
    - The fatigue you're describing here
    - Forgetfulness & difficulty concentrating
    - Diminished pride in your work, you care less about your creations
    - Losing sight of yourself and your goals
    - Difficulty maintaining relationships and being present with loved ones
    - Frustration and irritability
    - Unexplained muscle tension, pain, fatigue, and insomnia
    - The weighing guilt of feeling like you’re letting down your audience and yourself when taking a break
    - You feel trapped by the work you set out for yourself
    The 3 phases to get out of burnout:
    1. Take a hard break from your work environment. Your body has an excess of stress, build up from the marathon of creating content and everything that entails mentally & physically. You need to stop being introduced to stressors. Things that trigger you and make you feel anxious, and all the other redflags I mentioned before. -> Get away from the stressors
    2. You need to learn to end the stress cycle. This goes as followed:
    - Stressor (trigger) induces the response
    - Your body responds by regulating levels of stresshormones to make sure you have energy available for responding to the stressor.
    - Your body is safe from the stressor, it signals the brain to stabilise the stresshormones levels again.
    As long as you don't complete that 3rd step, you will add more stress to your body. The key here in phase 2 is to learn to deal with stress. Finding coping mechanisms. Phase 1 was to get rid of the stressors, now you need to deal with the stress still inside your body.
    3. Find professional help, people who will be able to zoom out and identify the triggers that make you feel stressed. People who will be able to find you your way of releasing stress, which is different for everyone.
    Hope this helps someone, and for legit advice, remember it's always best to seek out professional care.

      48. Decades ago, I learned the secret to afternoon naps.
      1) Anticipate the fatigue to set in between 2pm and 4pm and give yourself permission to have a nap
      2) Length of nap (this is a game changer!) Never sleep past 20-30 minutes! I set a timer for 30 and take 3-10 minutes to fall asleep, so I have about 20 minutes of pure nap.
      If you sleep past 30 minutes, your body gets confused and submits into a lengthy sleep range similar to your overnight. Then it screws up your regular bedtime rhythm.
      check out Circadian rhythms and Ultradian rhythms for more on this.

    Love it man. Was just talking with my therapist about how my max for writing time is like an hour before brain drain sets in. He helped me reveal to myself that maybe I’m suppressing my emotions and needing to accept them. It kind of opened me up a bit. I had kind of been modeling myself after a writer that only wrote a page a day after researching long enough to have that dump feeling come on where you just go, it’s time. It’s time to write. And then he writes a page and stops mid sentence everyday until it’s done.
    I think I’m finally ready to abandon that and use the strong negative emotions to steer the narratives to build radical acceptance into the work. Might have already relieved anxiety.

    1) wake up later! 2) ditch the coffee 3) start the wim hof method 4) eat more food, more veggies, more fruit! And MOST importantly: MORE OMEGA 3! In supplement or from fatty fish(this helpef me tremendously! And lion´s mane extract supplement! 5) DONT EXERCISE EVERY DAY! You're not an athlete! 3 times per week is SUFFICIENT! ESPECIALLY if you go running AND some light weight training! Or combine cardio with the weights: kettlebell HIIT for example.
    Come on man, you should know better! Take it slower.. A real burnout and you're OUT for MONTHS! How you gonna earn some money then??!

    "We have met the enemy, and he is us". "Making art" is really only a fraction of the battle of "making art". It's a lonely journey with too many highs that the nearly 90% of lows seem almost like it's a 50/50 split. Routine really is what saves us. It keeps the feet going one foot in front of the other because, like an artist's process, it helps us know what comes next when we don't know what "next" even looks like. The beauty and wonder of living in our imagination are that we can create the most wonderful work when our lives feel the most terrible and the most terrible work when our lives are wonderful. Reading this back, it all sounds so terrible, but actually, I am in love with the work and the journey. Yet, any way you cut it though, it's a hard journey. Thank you for this video, Van.

    I put this down here because I didn't want this to be self-promotional. Instead, I wanted to share the same side of the coin from one artist to another ( czcams.com/video/dgmv0FFKm_c/video.html ). Also, you have probably read, Art & Fear: Observations on the Perils (and Rewards) of Artmaking by David Bayles, but if not...

    Wonderful video. I experienced a massive burnout in 2018 and my takeaway was that burnout was a message from my soul telling me that my current routines/habits/beliefs were no longer serving me. Burnout is an inner-alarm that demands to be listened to.

    Very relatable. When following the routine yields routine results, that is when I start to feel the burnout. I'm getting it now as well. Time to change up the routine and see if I can change up the results. Thanks for the video Van!

    I love this hack that I found that Im just going to preach it. You mention getting fatigued at 5 (and then consequently due to age at a sooner time) I found, in my current 10 hour work days (mixed between studying and physical tasks) that im doing, that by increasing my sleep from 8 hours to 9 I stopped getting tired at 5 and started getting tired at 11. This includes 1.5 hour workout everyday. Enough sleep means you can stay up 14 hours a day without getting tired and work almost every hour of the day doing physical and mental activities. rinse and repeat 6.5 days a week.

    My morning, 3 shot bulletproof latte (better than coffee), drop kids, workout, shower, 2nd breakfast, no elevensies! Started taking Nootropics at 11am to be fully functional till dinner. Rinse & repeat!
