“I Reached Impossible Levels Of Screen Time”

I tried managing my phone usage and somehow ended up with an average of 15 minutes of screen time per day.

Breaking down small, practical changes: habits, routines, mindset shifts, + realizations + positivity + jokes!

hahaha you're good! FRESH GOES BETTER!

"I’m 36. I Don’t Know What I’m Doing With My Life."

A reflection on not knowing what you're doing with life, how you got there, frustrations of not having a purpose in life, and the virtues of continuous effort.

Also plenty of Zatz-lore. (youtu.be/E7nJ0nXTJYE)

“Is Living At Home Really That Bad?”

Millennials and Gen Z living at home? In this economy?? You don't say???! There's a large stigma associated with young adults in their 20s who live at home with their parents. I did. It wasn't so bad. (youtu.be/rgOPYWS_xpo)

(I think I'm getting better at this)

Ironic.

The problem with overthinking and being overly analytical is that your most valuable tool becomes your biggest enemy.

It's like cooking your food for too long. Your brain is cooked. And you're trying to fix it by cooking it more.

Hahaha. Some things never change ...

Glad you liked the video :)

"You're Out Of Touch"

It's about the existential weirdness that comes with feeling out of touch (with culture, the internet, and yourself), and the process of finding your way back to a genuine place of good vibes.

(Also, there are jokes and stuff!)

(youtu.be/uOjdr7W_Htw)

It turns out that working towards meaningful goals, engaging in real-life activities, and not scrolling social media or the internet all day are beneficial for your mental health.

WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT???????

I’m realizing that I want to get to a place where I can engage with other people’s content/art/lives, without feeling this shame-anxiety. And whats benefited me in this regard is focusing on creating, rather than consuming.

As someone who likes to create art, seeing other people accomplish achievements or simply *create*, when I’m not doing that, fills me with anxiety. I feel like I should be doing more, and that feeling feeds the negative feedback loop furthering the spiral - taking me away from what I want to do.

Not following anybody on any social media has been useful at limiting distractions. There’s less incentive to scroll and get sucked down.

However what I’ve been coming to terms with is that this stems mainly from FOMO and insecurity.

Haha nice! Appreciate you and all your deleted comments! Thanks!

Patreon now exists!

Thanks y'all who dropped by the stream.

Feels good to get this done and out of the way. Been procrastinating on doing this FOR YEARS (and it only took an hour ...)

The lesson is: don't let perfect be the enemy of the good.

Streaming later today at 7:30 Pm Eastern (or whenever I finish eating tilapia!)

Making the patreon and chilling. Fun!

I am filled with anxiety but I’m gonna do it because if you don’t do it now you will never do it ever ever because of perfectionism!

“Life Gets In The Way: And That’s OK”

Sometimes life gets in the way of your goals and ambitions - this is normal. Sometimes it's regular stuff, for me: an autoimmune disease!

Life lessons in dealing with adversity and overcoming it (to get good vibes!)

(youtu.be/QPvNipAmQD4)

This is the best I’ve felt in a long time. It does get better.

Reading more, writing more, mental clairvoyance- getting aware of how my mind operates. I’m letting go of perfectionism (which is why I’m posting more online). Doesn’t feel like it’s coming from neediness or trying to please. Not being on apps means not giving a hoot about metrics/immediate feedback

This social media protocol I’ve been using for the past month has been great.

Limiting the apps using screen zen (and hiding them) + cold turkey on the computer.

Haven’t felt the pull to use any of them - though it’s mainly due to the mindset of “post, don’t scroll”/“create, don’t consume”

The best feeling is when you’re almost done a video. And then you’re excited for the next one.

Glad you enjoyed it!

I've been doing that Kendrick walk around the apartment all week

“The Endless Hell of YouTube Tutorials”

An AI told me to make this YouTube video about YouTube videos that explain how to make YouTube videos.

How many YouTube gurus does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

(It’s about AI, art, existential stuff - with jokes!!)

Literally everytime I log on to Bluesky: "I wonder what the horny communist app has in store today"
