I recently started labeling my daily to do list "sidequests" and it has somehow helped me be more productive
This makes me very happy
I procrastinate on side quests in games ain't no way I'm doing side quests irl
Nice.
Good! Now keep doing it for ~3 months and see if it's not just a phase. Good luck, I would salute you if you succeed.

So good
This is probably the best thing i've ever heard. im serious
@@user-ok1xq5qm9t seriously
Totally agree. Thats such a statement
If I grinded in real life as hard as I did in borderlands 2 to get legendaries, I’d be a millionaire by now
I really need to play Borderlands 2 again. Hands down one of the best games I ever played!
You see. Most people play gta doing glitches for money. If only they put that much effort irl. They’d actually own a penthouse by now.
@@Lightningspiner damn ma man you really didn't get the idea of the video, drop the games 😂😂😂
@@MrMDanny games are awesome, but you should treat them as a reward, they're not all there is
Edit: very important: you likely will never get to shoot in real life (maybe at the range), which is good I guess, but you won't
And you definitely won't shoot at aliens on a different planet, on an epic quest

Thank you!
Thanks man, you saved me 20 minutes. This could have been really squeezed into a max 10 minute video by just giving less examples...

I don't know what's different about this channel compared to other self help channels, but he's always able to come up with ideas I can actually relate to and advice I can actually execute in real life
Bcuz common self help stuff tend to be unrealistically demanding of unmotivated people. Using formal research data may be good in logic, but we're not robots who can be expected to do things that CEOs or prodigies like to do that makes them successful according to research, and we may feel like a failure when we can't fulfill those cold, data-based methods.
This channel's approach I think is more like sharing the insights & ideas that an ordinary man gets in his own journey & experience, so it becomes more relatable to us common people who can relate that life isn't that easy. He shows understanding & empathy of those ordinary feelings.
We're only human, and I think his approach is human, that's why it's more intimate & relatable like a heart-to-heart.
@@jjQlLlLq Yeah, that makes sense, I completely agree
He has better ideas:)))

@@wowwhyisthistaken why play dark souls when you can play... REAL LIFE ☠

The only thing I don't like about the "real life" game I'm playing, is that if I'm not continuously using my skills, I forget them.
Can I still relate to this video even if I play different video games or progress in different ones? I gave up on SKyrim because I had trouble utilizing the map and did not make much progress
stat decay is a pain
There's a hilarious irony to the fact I've added mods to Skyrim which mean if I don't use skills or get enough sleep in game then my in game character will actually atrophy skills and muscle... Even games aren't an escape for me anymore haha!
@@Seasonal-Shadow_4674 absolutely, I think the basis of every video game is to progress somehow even if it's not an RPG.

I've always found looking at life as a videogame with missions and side quests helped me keep a good amount of levelheadedness. Sometimes I just wish there was a HUD we could see through our own eyes telling us what to do to progress with the story.
Follow your heart, and trust your gut
Its helped me forgive myself for wasting a day hitting chickens. I've left shitloads of side quests undone in games.
Fuck ikr, a Quest log reminder, maybe even a timer
A few ideas: write your quests or status on your bathroom mirror; take a photo of your goal and use it as your phone/computer wallpaper; ask a friend to chase you until you get your stuff done, and reward them for the work; count your steps; use triggers to remind you to save money, read books, etc; the elevator is lava... and so on
The HUD would be beneficial. Living with no HUD is weird.
Not gonna lie...I needed this. I really, really did. I am currently on my third year of college, studying something I personally believe I do not really wish to pursue that much, but am also on an academical situation which got me away from keeping the opportunity to essentially seek opportunities in a way that was viable. From thinking "I finally made it...I'm finally here, after all the work.." I ended at feeling as if I was at the verge of losing it all. My family's faith in me, my "happy" and extroverted behavior, my academic "ranking"...essentially everything I had been working for ever since youth. And for the very first time in my life, in this specific situation, I felt...essentially...powerless. Alone. Regretful. I felt an indescribable amount of pain that would never leave. That emotion is still there, however, recently I've come to realize I cannot give up, nor stop moving forward, seeking that sentiment of tranquility and stillness (in a good sense, of course). This video...oddly enough, sort of helped to the point where I'm tearing up XD. I don't know how to say this, I...guess I just really needed to hear this. I do not know this channel, nor you as a person, but...I thank you for this. I just subscribed simply because this was great advice. And most certainly something I needed to hear. I wish you well, and I now leave you be. Of course, at this point I bet you already went camping XDXD but I still hope things went well and that they are still going well. Have a good day, or night..or...afternoon...and thank you.
Glad the video you needed came and reach you. Good luck onto your studies, and other life situations. Good luck, and make sure to level up yourself.
This is exactly where I’m at. Burnt out with school, just broke up with a gf that didn’t respect me, and I’ve been struggling so hard to move forward. Good luck brother
Just think wasting your time on social media is like watching in-game ads.

My personal trainer had told me "Resolve yourself to already be at your target weight." He gave me all of the tools, a quest log and an end goal. It's been pretty easy with those processes.
So yesterday I was eating with my family when all of a sudden a “crew mate” broke in through the front door. He had a ski mask on and a gun which was sus, but he a good skin. My father told us all to hide so we don’t get killed by the obvious imposter. I could see him from my hiding spot under the table and he looked sus. So I told my dad “DAD YOU THINK HE IS THE IMPOSTER? HE IS SUS!” I yelled as loud as I could. The imposter found us hiding and shot my father five times. The imposter was so dumb, who kills someone in front of crew mates? I ran to call the emergency meeting by grabbing my phone off the table when I heard my mother get shot and scream for me. Lol she was so bad at among us. My teammates sucked and were dying to the worst Imposter. So I called the emergency meeting and for some reason a S.W.A.T team rammed down the door and killed the imposter. Lol that’s not how the game goes, I think they were hacking.

This is a really good video for me. I have several autoimmune diseases and it’s always been so hard to leave my comfort zone. Video games are much easier and less painful for me than doing more physical things (walking, exercise etc), but thinking of them like power-ups like you mentioned is very cool and motivational. I’m going to rewatch this when I hit another wall in life, but this really motivated me to challenge my comfort zone. Thank you for making it!

@@Latronibus That's the brutal part about "organic" or "living with the land" tropes that some people never mention. You're not the only one that want to eat your food (bugs want it, coyotes want it, groundhogs want it, larvae want it). I guarantee that 100k or millions of paleolithic farmers died due to pests, droughts or otherwise.
Growing food to feed yourself, let alone a family is Fing HARD, and you are likely at the whims of nature every step of the way.
I helped a local farmer troubleshoot his hydraulic tiller, as an example, but even being able to weed his farm, it was decimated by cut worms - no yeild (he went organic; no pesticide).

"When you overcome resistance, you absorb its power. And the greater the resistance, the greater the power."
Not only is your content really great and helpful, I also love your humor. I chuckled a few times :) Keep doing what you are doing, you`re creating something truly valuable.
If life allowed for 3rd person perspective, I swear I'd be much more inclined to treat life like a game. The ability to disassociate yourself from the games we play allow us to make decisions that purely benefit us in that moment or down the line. The always first person perspective makes things so personal and forces us to "be the player" at all times trapping us in the emotional and mental struggles that ultimately prevent us from making the best decisions to succeed.
Actively thinking of yourself as the player and not the player character does help though.
Try psychedelics
youre in VR
That’s called detachment from ones ego. Separating yourself from your emotions and gaining the ability to be able to think more logically. Through many meditation sessions, one can achieve it. But like the guy said in the video, everything takes time and dedication lol
@Prisoner of the Internet Honestly, just simply breathe and focus on the act of inhaling and exhaling. It will help with disconnecting yourself from your thoughts. You can always listen to natural sounds, (many different videos on CZcams) search up guided meditations to help with that. Deepak Chopra explains it well in his book ‘the seven spiritual laws of success.’ But I always go back to the simple act of breathing, and focusing on the inhalation, and exhalation. Feeling the air flow through your body. And listen to any natural sounds. Wind through the trees. The crash of waves. The chirps of birds. The roar of an engine as it goes on by. It’s all natural sounds. I hope this helps! I know it’s a long process, but stick with it and it should eventually help. Build a routine by doing just 2-5 minutes of meditation daily It’ll increase overtime.
seeing Better Ideas run like a videogame character at the beggining made me laugh so hard
the resistance powerup bit was eyeopening! great video

Super cool, a lot of inspiration, its simple, clear, and fun, looks like I'll be defining some quests. Thanks for the reminder 🙋♂️
Most people in the self help world hate on video games, I found this video refreshing! The difficult part of life cannot be understated. However, I totally agree on the part with rewards. Even something as simple as losing weight can be unbelievably rewarding. Great video Joey!
Probably because for many, losing weight isn't simple
@@durpasaur3052 correction: isn't easy.
It is actually pretty simple.
@@GabrielSouza-ie1tt is it simple for people that have mental disoreders to create or follow workout routines? Is it simple for them to get over their negative thought patterns? It gets very complicated for people with eating disorders. At least that's what I believe.
This is not my struggle, but I have known others with these problems
@@durpasaur3052 I do that. It's like what I know I need and what my moment-to-moment thoughts lead me to are in opposite directions. Whenever I feel I've changed in a core way for the better I end up going back to my anxiety patterns. I do feel like I keep a portion of the good stuff and it feels easier to be successful each time though.
EX: I lost an absurd amount of weight (~100lbs) but regained most of it. Felt impossible to do it the 1st time but now I know I can. Trying to figure out atm if weightloss+muscle gain is worth trying at once or just muscle gain. Need to increase energy/focus and it seems like working out does that

Dang mate, I really needed this video. Thank you very much for opening my eyes and finally showing me another perception
As a (future :D) game designer what I can add is that games are also a lot better at giving you feedback, telling you immediately that you just did good or that you just made a mistake. I think maybe that's why having a todo list where you cross-off or tick-off small tasks can help you be more productive, because in a sense, it's replicating the instant feedback videogames give you.
Your comment has given me a thought that having smaller tasks could also give instant feedback. Thank you sire!!

Love this video.
I actually started thinking of life as a game some years ago and everything been better since, career, romance, mental and physical health, you name it!
What worked for me was eliminating the thought of failing and switched it with "Hey I'm just respawning", get back up and try again with a different approach because in the end the only thing we achieve by being passive is failing but we can actually win if we go for it, stay positive and confident in our moves while sticking to our goals.
This was a pretty good breakdown of this video
come to think of it, the truth actually is that we don't really know when we have won the game. For life goals cannot be summed up like a video game. There's always the hunger for the next thing after achieving something

Hey, thanks for this. The resistance powerups was what I needed to hear today ❤️
This also relates to watching TV. While watching Netflix the other day, I was getting frustrated with a character thinking that he just needed to say/do XYZ and the situation would resolve itself. The next day I found myself in almost that exact same scenario and felt silly for not seeing what was so obvious to me before. Since then I've tried to observe myself from a third-person's perspective as if someone is watching a movie of my life and it's really helped a lot
Wow.. that's actually a really interesting perspective!
same here! i think a lot of how annoyed i get at dumb decissions on tv and then embrace the discomfort hahah
You just need to open the devconsole and write "/force /view-3rd-person" and hit . Enjoy
I think so too but everytime i go to i dunno school i forget this idea ever existed😂
Same man, the 3rd person perspective of self goes super deep as well.
that really resonated with me. Thank you for sharing! internalized alot of things after finishing your video.
I've always been telling my friends that I'm in my own open-world-exploration game. There's so much to see and do.
About the "practice fifteen minutes" or "write 100 words," you'll probably end up doing more than that, because it's so little, and you'll get into the swing of doing something. But even if you only do the goal, you'll still be winning.
It's like the "bonus" in game. Like "do this level within 3 min".
Me who risks my mental health every match of LoL:
I'm somewhat of a risktaker myself
Don't play LoL if you want to stop being a looser.

"You need to be *bald* and courageous."
I treat every work project as a raid:
1. Get to know your teammates and test the waters to identify synergies
2. Adjust and fill in the gaps appropriately
3. Progress for objectives; document milestones
4. Receive and share the lewt
Video games are far more educational than school in my honest opinion.
It's funny that we always notice the specifically detailed goals in a game and how well organized in a sequence they are but never think about applying that same structure to our plans. Yet it is not a brand new idea it feels so important and useful when analizing it in the video 😄
Its lovely to watch your videos and they have an amazing vibe and your thoughts are making my life
The key in being a real life character is to start out as:
Level 1 thief, then branch out into level 1 hacker. Increasing your endurance stat every morning through walks/gym is highly recommended, too.
And then end up as lvl 50 Mafia Boss.
One thing I've learnt from video games is that if you don't encounter enemies, you're going in the wrong direction. :)

I've been using Habitica where you can actually create a character and level up as you complete habits and other tasks that you set for yourself. Their slogan is literally "Gamify your life." Chat with other people, join "guilds" of different types of ways to make your real-life better, and battle monsters (with others in the party you join or create) as you complete your tasks. It's almost like D&D without rolling dice. Your attacks depend on how many of your tasks were completed that day. Another way to add video games to real life 😁
I joined it about 4 months ago and asked about how one of the features worked in the chat channel, later that evening one dude messaged me to join his party and that he was new too and saw my comment in the chat. I agreed we both formed a party and complete quests and everything and I don't even talk to the dude much we just simply do our tasks knowing theres one more guy beside me doing it.
idk man, habitica is great but, the rewards arent motivating, i think it would be better if you got recources and had to craft stuff, or maybe i just set it up wrong
@@user-ze8fd4th8mI somehow have made myself lots of weird skill trees on habitica (it took a while lol) and i feel like that makes it a lot more fun.
3:40 Better Ideas: The Game looks pretty good. Guess i'm buying the new PS6 now.
Or a gaming pc with a rtx 10 000, ryzen apu @ 100Ghz, 1000 core with 2000 threads
Hey fancy seeing you here man, I like your Queens of The Stone Age videos
@@curtisarnold9245 Hey thanks ;) I guess we're both into personal growth and qotsa then.
The main character's head looks kinda big though
jk, I like this guy
As someone who has been a hardcore gamer my whole life, this really hit home for me. I've asked myself so many times why do games appeal to me so much. Trying to back off in favor of real life leveling up has been a real struggle. Often trading one distraction for another. Thanks for this.
Ask yourself “what am I searching for?” when wondering why you like it
So well explained. Such a great analogy!
Thanks!

So the essence of the video is spend more time in real life than in virtual/ non real worlds and brake down your life/career into small steps. And just do the things you find discomforting.
Better to feel the success/failure/mehness rather than the regret of not doing it at all.
One more thing: Don't see uncomfortable obstacles just as an inconvenience blocking you from your rewards, rather enjoy them by observing them as a way to gain more experience, gain more power and level up, no matter if you fail or succeed.
The is nothing more discomforting than living life. It sucks. Every fucking day.
@@barath4545 I can relate, maybe. At the same time, the pain of dying sucks. Especially when it feels like I'm gonna die with regrets, as that'll just make the dying process even more painful mentally.
Friends seem to keep me sane, even imaginary ones. Humans are social animals, as expected
@@barath4545 sending u some good vibes bro. Hope your outlook on life gets better. Ik sh*t can be rough sometimes, especially atm.
really puts everything in perspective.. thank you
So much effort, so much value!
This guy has changed my mindset and life completely
one of my most memorable times playing The Sims 3 was my wife and I had retired, so I started an affair with our nanny and send my wife on the balcony and removed the door with the editor. simple times
Lol
If your Sims wife caught you cheating would’ve she divorced?

I find myself smiling ear to ear at your vids. So fucking creative constantly, and such great knowledge. Always great.
Fantastic video. Such a refreshing take on things. Thank you for sharing.
Skyrim do be very inspirational. Start lifting so you can carry all that looot.
More carry weight FTW.
I still play it but with mods
bruh yeah my carry weight always felt too low for christ's sake
When he said you absorb the power of resistance, I immediately pictured absorbing a dragon soul in Skyrim
@@supportcarry145 lol it's so so cool :D

real life permadeath: am I joke to you? well your turn.
Compared to real life though even DS is easy!
Most video games target our evolutionary programming "better" than the modern context... they do many of the small things totally right. Slow change? Yup. Direct feedback? Yup. Multimodal? Yup. And so many more... They are often designed to match what our ancestors craved
Can I still relate to this video even if I play different video games or progress in different ones? I gave up on SKyrim because I had trouble utilizing the map and did not make much progress
@@Seasonal-Shadow_4674yeah kinda. The video is not about games actually.
Wow. That’s eye opening
@@Seasonal-Shadow_4674 how did you fail to understand skyrim's map? it's very simple. morrowind has no quest markers, instead making you have to read directions on the quest's journal. it's more vague, but it forces you to look around the world as if you're really travelling
Best video I’ve seen of yours yet. Thank you I will keep watching
Really well thought out and relatable video, keep it up!
Not even in my wildest dreams would I've imagined a brunette Johnny Sins would be the funniest and most uplifting CZcamsr I've ever seen, but here we are.
Bruh 💀
Well Johny sins has a lot of jobs and constantly has more, so i guess he had to become a wholesome CZcamsr at some point
Not too clever though showing your face on dirty videos with nothing to learn.
As someone whos been neglecting my life for the past few months by playing an unhealthy amount of video games, I needed this video today.
One of the best videos I have seen in a while...and I watch a lot of CZcams!
Congrats!
wow your videos are truly incredible and filled with so much knowledge. Been bench watching for the past few days (:
Fml this was probably one of the most eye-opening videos I’ve ever watched. Thanks for this, Joey.
I mean, as a hardcore gamer for over 15 years, I’ve definitely heard of the concept of gameifying life to make it tolerable or easier. But the way you explained the concepts makes it so easy to even just execute. This is on the level of Mark Manson, James Clear-esque insight. 👏🏽 Turning my Reminders app (which I recently started incorporating into my life) into a video game quest log as I write this!!
the problem is that some of us have shitty genetics / personality which make some of this impossible.
