You watching cus you want to be better for him
The worst part of my failure is that I could've studied but instead I procastinated the whole semester
Like if you are watching this before a final test 🤓
going through a self assessed depressive episode after years of denying I had something wrong with me and the constant stress I was at from school. I haven't been fully relaxed and taken a "deserved" rest since like 13 and im turning 17 next week. I got exams and im close to failing every single one of them. it is not just because of me being on my phone all the time but it does take a huge toll on my mental health as well. everything I do feels like some sort of an escapism to me and i only seem to relax when I partake in taking drugs with my peers. I am a coward for not wanting to go to therapy. it is funny how I denied depression and did not believe someone could be depressed at a young age, but looking on that behavior now, it seems like projecting to me. all I want in my life is to wake up one day and just be the way that I want myself to be but I know that will never happen. the occasional bombings and sirens that are happening in my city dont even seem to affect me that much, cause im numb to that. i sometimes imagine that if I did went to therapy and got diagnosed with depression legitimately, would it make me feel better, but i answer this question to myself with "I dont know" as it will bring a sense of relief, that it is not my fault and I was not making it all up, but at the same time, It would make things harder because my relatives would find out and things would get ugly. my mom thinks im just a lazy teen, and I may be exactly that, but I personally think that my potential is far greater than what I am accomplishing as of now. I am afraid of a realization that if I dont get my life sorted out, I will turn from a kid that has great potential, to a regular dude that had potential once but he let himself go.
33:15 hey Thomas, I feel that my channel used to be like the first one, but now I stuck on the second type of channel: stagnant. Do you know how could I fix that? I would really like to get my channel out of stagnation. I know there is probably no 1 single solution, but I don't know where to start. I'm trying topics that should be interesting, with decent thumbanils and good editing. Yet I'm not seeing growth as I used to. I started the channel inspired by you, so I'm really thankful for that.
This is gold. Thank you!
I'M WATCHING AND GOING INTO ACTION AT 3AM. GETTING POWER IDEAS FOR PRODUCTIVITY. ✌️

Me 7 years ago 👁️👄👁️
I have a test tomorrow to
If I’m coming from basically 0 computer knowledge into trying to learn Java script, will I be able to start away on freecodecamp? Or will I need to learn other things first? Appreciate any replies thank you.
"Everything makes you tired, you don't care about anything and everything sucks" I already had some built-up stress and misery today, and feeling so seen by a statement made so directly literally made me cry
If you have ever quit any other addiction such as smoking or drinking, you can use the same courage and dedication to quit your phone addiction.
Listen to jazz music.
Ya, but there are lots of poor self published books out there.
I literally started walking and got back to study after watching this video
Not me watching this at 12 am
My interests are board games, people watching while drinking cafe, playing starcraft and overwatch, going to saunas. I dont know one person who does this stuff and its hard to find people in real life that do these. Online no problem, I bet half reddit has my interests but yi dont want to meet redditor in real life
Biggest issue is finding $ while teaching yourself coding. The more you code, the less time you have for other things. I taught myself full stack engineer and it’s possible!

I've been following Thomas' channel since I was in high school, right now I'm already in my last year of university. Love this channel! Missed your videos and found that this one hit hard. Thank you Thomas!
@5:00 id rather double check when im done because of timing
you have beautiful eyes tho
Thank you Thomas, this was great. I am inspired! Gave me the boost to buy "How big Things get done". I have to say, that i didn't follow your work the last years, but back in the days 2014ish. Thanks for beeing there along the ride. <3
Because of Ai my productivity double now days... So efficiently i m doing my task..😄 It reduces manual effort..
Extension of everything : "everything search" which is really amazing
Subscribed your channel since 2012, and I listened all your podcast. 👍
I think this comment section is focusing on the exceptions to the rule. Leonardo da Vinci, Richard Feynman, some of y'all etc ... are the exceptions. But generally speaking, advising easily distractible people like me to pursue our variety of interests at once is so terrible!
1:59 Android lets you set app timers through the Digital Wellbeing app in settings, and on Samsung phones you can even set a mode to only let you use certain apps.
lol 😂
Sounds like you got conservative !
Please make more videos on how you use ChatGPT for coding, productivity, business, or for any other purpose.
I put this video in my watch later and forgot about it till now
At 6:17, wish you had said "woman" instead of "girl". e.g."That girl in the pinstripe suit." doesn't give the impression of someone in management.
I CAN,I KNOW,I CAN UNDERSTAND MATHS,😭
it's pretty informative video but i don't understand why would someone be learning Javascript for backend development. Javascript is mainly used for Frontend development. I think Java could be a better choice in terms of a backend development.
this video is a bit old but still one of the best I've tried .. your channel is legend
Awesome info!
I'm finally freeeeeeee
I was hoping you’d give advice for how to stop watching movies late. That’s my problem. I commit to watching movies late at night. 😢
thank you
I try to help but never get an answer for what I can help
This is by far, some of the best tips I've ever gotten from anyone teaching you how to write a resume. Thank you very much, sir.
Thank you for posting this video. I really needed to hear it today.
Ok but his eyelashes are amazing
❤
I can’t afford to take a break right now
The best advice about this topic ❤
