    @@nevereverstopsinging I guess I understand your question and this is my answer. And it can be different for someone else. It's not about, not able to fathom your own limits but for example, I would try to be a perfectionist in most of the projects (according to my idea for the result I wanna achieve) and that could affect other things in life. Most of the time it is as simple as getting too excited about something and spending all the time and energy for it (which is not a good thing mostly). Even if the 'conversations/outside perspective' isn't there, I will figure it out by myself whether something is a "good choice" (let's change the term "unrealistic" here as it could cause confusion) or not but it would take more time. A trustworthy healthy outside perspective is always useful to keep things in track. And in my case, my friends don't make judgment about my plans but they would ask me questions which will in turn make me wanna recheck my to-do list. It had saved me from beating me up/ letting myself down. After all, healthy conversations always bring some good ideas on the table. Hope you understood my perspective. :)

    @@roosb.967 I have it the same way, and it truly makes me fail at things I know how to do. I have read a lot of discussion revolving around this, and some I understand and relate to, especially when it has to do with coming to sit down and start, and after doing a minute and a half of something you feel tired and you get up and try to do something else even though nothing was done. Some part of it has to do with sitting and once we start, we start thinking of the other things we should do and so we stop doing what we are supposed to do and then the whole cycle breaks and the effort to get back into it is tremendous and tiring. And obviously much more things but that’s one of them.

    @@roosb.967 I can relate so much its painful. Here is what I did that has helped me more than any single thing. Start by just writing things down. Get a standard spiral bound notebook (I like the quad ruled) and on the first page make a calendar for the month you are in. The only thing you have to do to be successful in this expiriment is write one line about each day. it could be what you did, how you felt. The idea is to stick with it. If you only open the notebook for 10 seconds to write your sentence fine, you showed up. And even if you miss several days go back and fill in the days you missed you can usually remember about a week. Whatever you do keep that calendar filled in. Then do whatever you want on the other pages write down lists even if you don't have an organized way to keep track of them. Write long form journal entries even if you only do it once a month. Draw stick figures if it floats your boat. As you do this for months on end, patterns will begin to emerge that are completely unique to you. When this happens you can slowly start to systematize that practice. Like Nathaniel said you just have to externalize it before you have any concept of how to utilize it. I've done this for almost a year now and my notebook is my lifeline and I feel totally lost without it.

    Nathaniel, Your videos are so captivating, I don't think I've ever just wanted to focus on a video more than yours, so thank you for that. You really have brought a bit more clarity to my life, and I only started watching your videos a couple of weeks ago. I just want to say that this video hit different. I'm currently in re-evaluating my habits, priorities, and organization. It's something I do every year, but every 4 years or so, it feels different. Right now is one of those inflection points for me, and your videos have been powering some changes that I am implementing. So, thank you... like..... a lot.... your perspective and eloquence has really elevated my mind and makes me more determined to push myself to where I need to be. :)

They r repetitive in wat dey put out to a point where u lose interest in it! But the content on this channel is well thought off n is practical! Dats wat I love! He is so genuine n raw ! It feels gud to follow his journey n get better along d way with him! His ideas n beliefs changes wid time n that is a thing I can relate to d most ,obviously which d other channels lack( they act like they know everything already)! His topic maybe d same but with a different or better approach each time( because he learns stuffs everyday)..man I luv him! N not mention his videos r on a whole different level of aesthetic n production! Gosh Im happy I'm on d better side of youtube..not to be cheesy or anything but he is my fav. youtuber! Sorry I'm not dat gud in English( learning😄) Im still studying but once I start earning Im gon support u by donations( I think dat didn't come out as I expected😁 but I really wanna support u) Lots of luv Nathan!
