hello swedish potatoes if you asked
yourself
does what i spend my time on daily
excite or fulfill me
how would you respond in a world that's
constantly telling us who to be
how to act and this is what success
looks like it's perfectly normal to
temporarily lose track of our north star
or not to even ask ourselves what our
north star is in the first place
so how can we do more of what we love
and less
of what we don't i'm not here to
encourage you to blindly drop everything
to follow your dreams and chase your
passion because as with most things in
life
i believe a degree of hard work
dedication and sacrifice is needed to
help us live meaningful and fulfilling
lives
but when the pendulum swings too far in
one direction and get
stuck how do we find our way back to
the middle after mulling this over i
thought first we have to figure out what
we love
so that second we can save time wherever
possible so that
third we can spend more time doing what
we love
and here we have the outline of today's
video there will be a little
announcement for a 30 days of creativity
challenge in our online community at the
end of this video
so stay tuned for that first up how to
figure out
what you love i know trying to figure
out what you love is a very personal
thing and no easy feat
but with time brutal honesty and
unwavering faith we can achieve
almost anything and everything we set
our hearts to
care bear ted talk over and now grab a
journal or open a note on your phone
here are a few questions you can ask
yourself how am i currently spending my
time
does what i spend my time on daily
excite or fulfill me
and last if i can spend more time on
things that excite and fulfill me
what would they be i'd love to spend
more time getting creative making things
with my hands
learning reading being outdoors in
nature and quality timing with people
i love all to come once we have a better
understanding of what we love we can
start thinking
of practical and creative ways to help
us save
time here are all the ways we can save
time throughout our day the one i'd like
to focus the most time on is finding
ways to help speed up our workflow
through apps and productivity tools as
you guys know there's no shortage of
productivity content on my channel so
i'll link a few videos on how i plan and
organize my life down below
today i'd like to expand on something
i've talked about in passing over a year
and a half ago and i've continued to use
sense which is
super human email reimagine for speed
functionality
and aesthetics thank you so much to
superhuman for sponsoring today's video
they basically rebuilt the inbox from
the ground up to create the fastest
email experience ever no joke it helps
me hit inbox zero every single week
to start their shortcuts to help speed
things up i know this isn't new but it
was through superhuman that i learned
the art of shortcuts and how much time
it can actually save you
there's also split inboxes where you can
split out messages from your team or
your most used tools like google docs
i've created a split inbox for
sponsorships your guys's emails i see
you
and brain juice aka newsletters from
these amazing people including the
founder of superhuman there's also
snippets or
saved replies it's a template that can
be phrases paragraphs or even entire
emails lastly you can also set reminders
when you send emails and you will be
reminded if you don't hear back
you can also snooze a conversation or
enter a specific time to be reminded of
this email i absolutely
love love love love this feature for
someone like me whose inbox is crucial
to my work spending thirty dollars a
month is well worth it as it's made my
workflow significantly faster and more
enjoyable
if you're interested in giving
superhuman a try you can use the link in
my description box to skip
their wait list now how to start doing
more
of what you love cue the vlog
yeah hello friends we have a very
exciting day slash weekend
plan team beauty within is going upstate
it's like our first
team trip together so i'm very excited
about that but before that
at approximately 4 30 p.m this afternoon
it's like
almost nine right now we're gonna kidnap
foul
and make her pick one skincare routine
she can use for the rest of her life if
she were stranded on a deserted island
all right
it's gonna work
what else do i need to do
to me do more of what i love means being
more creative because i think creativity
plays a huge role in giving us
ideas and inspiration to reconnect with
ourselves in ways
we wouldn't normally think of so this is
this is the kidnapping
this is our team being creative
sit back
oh my god
i'm rejecting it my body's rejecting it
i don't trust you
you can't make me walk this fast it's
very scary to walk this
far hey bro give me one second true
darling let go don't leave
for a second just for a second
don't leave me fine
that's what we resorted to
right now
i like to believe that a big part of
doing more of what we love
entails giving ourselves full permission
to explore and encourage
any and all ideas with positivity as
research has shown
positive environment can amplify our
ability to think
creatively switching up your environment
also helps like kidnapping your bff and
inviting yourself over in her apartment
to force her to film
with you
[Music]
good morning i am overexposed
but
i miss nature all right so let's go to
eat
and let's get this party started
gas station to your right
sherbet popsicle to the left and then
like the camera would do this like
vibration thing it's like a ginger juice
and then there'll be like a face
and then there's like some like artsy
shot that's like
you can literally do family style and
pass things around
oh then let's do like do we want
blueberry
blueberry blueberry
blueberry
quoting a newsletter from the founder of
superhuman yes he actually has a pretty
lit newsletter on productivity
motivational intensity is how strongly
we want or do not want something
high motivational intensity narrows our
thinking whereas low motivational
intensity broadens our thinking this is
why we often solve problems shortly
after we stop thinking about them
so don't put too much pressure on
yourself enjoy yourself just
be pick up a little diy project or get
busy with your hands i can tell you
that both fella and i where we're
usually in front of our computers being
able to decorate a beautiful spread
and make this beautiful balloon garland
thing
it was honestly a dream it was an
absolute dream to see something to just
create something with their hands and
just do something different
you know what we should do for the one
in the sky it should just be an upward
shot and throw it over it it's like
across the screen because like
stationary stationary
[Laughter]
transition that's it
oh we should do cartwheels we should
are you gonna flash everyone
[Music]
another tip from the newsletter is that
simply walking
increases creative output by 60 i know
i'm sitting right now but you know get
some fresh air this is why pacing around
my apartment
is a part of my creative process let's
go back in
more wheels
[Music]
we'll be here all night
[Music]
cheers cheers to you
and cheers to you and cheers
[Music]
oh it's wet it's very wet
is it going on here it's not that way
here
what a beautiful couple of days
in upstate being
this close to greenery and the woods
[Applause]
is truly the simple choice in life
times a bit slower up here
the weather's a bit cooler
the air is a bit crisper
all about making time for things that
you love
and less of would you don't
