  • Sooo I am having a hard time taking any time off from the LEGO Studio... even a fun weekend is hard to say yes to! There is so much work to do... and I want to get it done... but sometimes you need to live life as well. In this video, I walk through the studio while discussing what we've accomplished, what will happen next, and more.

    Hi Bricksie.
    I am so glad you are going to have a break. You absolutely deserve it after all the hard work of the past three months. You never take time off and you need to consider your heath and mental ability to cope with so many things.
    Hope Jose has a good break too!
    Enjoy your time away and we'll all welcome you back in a refreshed and relaxed state.

    At this point I am convinced that building Lego and building Ikea furniture are just different sides of the same coin - yes I will be building ikea tomorrow to store some lego, why do you ask? :) I hope you will enjoy your time with your brother and cousin!

    I'm self employed too over 10 years, I know how hard it is to take any kind of holiday because you're constantly thinking you should be working, that you're losing money, that you're being lazy, etc. But you MUST take these breaks and get away for a while from time to time.
    Especially after a huge project like this, you've done so well. You and your family should take a week's break at least and likely don't take Lego with you or film any videos either. You and your family deserve a break after this mammoth project, you deserve some time to rest to enjoy it all.

    One of the hardest part of owning your own business is that there is always something to do and no boss to tell you to take the weekend off. But take it from someone who worked 7 days a week for the last year and a half, take this break, don't stress about the work that needs to happen, enjoy the moment, and be present with your loved ones. Your body and mind will thank you. You'll come back refreshed and recharged for the next season of this project.

    Getting addicted to work is a real thing you have to be careful. You seem to do a good job splitting up work and family time but it’s definitely good to be conscious of!

    Passion is great. Working your passion is an awesome thing. But...Josse is working just as hard taking care of your kids! And taking care of helping out with your business. You should really treat her to a weekend away to some massage spa by herself for a relaxing weekend by herself.

    You deserve a break like many have said. You enjoy what you do for a living so it doesn't seem like a job. Hard to step away from what you love. Almost consider it a Lego addiction. Thanks so much for the entertainment you supply all is viewers.

    @Angrist17 Před 29 dny +1

    Having a job that you're passionate about doing and you *want* to do is a great thing. Yes, it can burn you out, but it's much better than working long hours at a job you hate because you *need* to do it or you'll run out of money. That being said you HAVE to take some time off for your sanity. I have a hard time leaving too, but once I'm out of the office for a day or two it feels awesome to reset.
    Sounds like you need your brother to come down for a day or two to help building tables after the trip🤣

  • @ThecrackedBrick93
    @ThecrackedBrick93 Před 28 dny

  • @kendricklamote
    @kendricklamote Před měsícem +2

    I don't feel like you got away from Lego. It's just a different side of it the probably most of us had to deal with. You are on a mission to create the best space to build, display and store your Lego. That's something thats directly related to the hobby.
    Like, how many of us are always trying to think of ways to expand our Lego display and storage space every time we build a new set or moc? It's exactly the same, wether if you have just a couple of billy shelves like me or you are building a studio out of a warehouse.
    It's part of the hobby. I can't say that you ever got away from it. Maybe the new basement content, but I also found it really cool. And.. hey.. that's where all your lego was, so I guess it counts!!!

  • @kevinDG7
    @kevinDG7 Před měsícem +1

    Everybody needs some time off. Especially after all the work you did, it is good to go out just relax. And when you come back, you have a fresh view and maybe even better ideas.

  • @xxcnd83xx
    @xxcnd83xx Před 29 dny

    I'd help you if I could, I like building Ikea furnitures, it's like building Lego only heavier, and cheaper 😂I don't blame you not being too excited to go, especially with the studio not being done, and leaving your wife and toddlers at home, the timing isn't really right, that would make the trip more stressful than enjoyable to me. Anyway, you're probably almost home now so that's over, I hope you're well rested and ready to tackle the tables. You'll be building Lego again in no time! 😊

  • @mikegreen9177

  • @AbsoluteCoins
    @AbsoluteCoins Před 29 dny

    My word!
    Yes, as much as you don’t want to go… you’ll probably end up switching off and having a blast in the moment 👍🏻
    This is exactly what you need, you probably don’t even realise how close you probably are to burning out.
    Your mind/mental health will thank you!
    Have a great time!

    Work without rest and a recharge leads to burnout, good you decided to be fair to yourself and taking a vacation

  • @airtobin2
    @airtobin2 Před 29 dny

    Here’s an idea, use what you’ve built and just get it up off the floor. Build the other two tables and when there finish moved the legos over to those tables and then finish the first two tables. Problem solved.

  • @peterbradley2216
    @peterbradley2216 Před 29 dny

    Defo agree break is required. You've been so busy. Well survive somehow without a few days of uploads! Have a great time away. Last thing any of us would want is you to fall out of love with lego due to over working.

    Life is short, make sure you enjoy time with your family and friends. I have just lost a friend who had a young family like you and it puts everything into perspective and what is truly important. Whilst you re lucky you are doing something you love, remember it’s just a job!

  • @kthanna08
    @kthanna08 Před 28 dny

    Three months? Wow. Seems like yesterday we got the first look at the studio. But it makes sense when we think about all the changes.

  • @gmdaskham
    @gmdaskham Před 29 dny +2

    I've been a Bricksie subscriber for a while now but lately it's just been a bit...well.. exhausting. Daily uploads is way too much, unless you watch CZcams all day. It also means, as someone who watches it on and off, that I'll skip videos and just watch the most recent. Maybe after a break a 3-videos a week schedule might be better? You might even find that the number of views per video increases and there's no need to make one-per-day.

  • @AmmaBuilds
    @AmmaBuilds Před měsícem

    Bricksie, as a mental health survivor, it is hard to slow down and even have a break. It sounds mean, but the studio and everything will be there when you get back as you left it. Don't risk burnout brother. I believe all of your viewers will understand, I definately will.

  • @Fantomas137
    @Fantomas137 Před 27 dny

    I think you're making two mistakes, one, humidity - windows will collect a lot of water/mold, so you need to be able to access them during the seasons. Second mistake, store boxes for a long time, you need an average humidity of 40 percent! Third mistake, you have no barriers for spectators and no concept - in other words, theft! The difference in ground level is probably 4 centimeters on the surface, get supports that you can adjust. I wish you all the best from Germany, you can do it!

    @EMR-DESIGN Před měsícem

    I know you love your work now and we also love to see everything you do. Either if it is building the studio of building lego is both fun. But you must also take time for your family or other family members. I am sure we will survive a few days without an update. Or maybe you want to make record two updates in one day but still post them here on different days. Or just simple make a short video where you mention you will be away for a few days and you will be back at this date. Then people who come here know you will be away for a few days and then people will know and they will accept it. It would be bad if you don't communicate and people will not know when there is an update for a few days. So you can take a few free/family days off. Remember that time is also important in life. 😃👍

    Man you got to hire a PT employee to take some of the burden off yourself. Shocking you haven’t experienced some level of burn out yet, maybe you have. Obviously, there’s a cost that comes with that but might be worth it to help keep things moving and have better work/life balance.
