and special guest
Chris Sanders is here to talk about
structure, and how important structure is
in our life and in our recovery.
intro music
So like I said,
I have Chris Sanders here with me.
Chris tell us who you are and
how they can find you.
Chris: Hi everyone!
My name is Chris.... Sanders,
yes I have a last name,
Chris Sanders
search me on youtube you'll find me
right away... umm
I'm here to help you guys
not only enhance your nerdiness
but also to help you
feel better about yourself
and grow every single day.
Kati: And what was the spark that ignited
your need to improve and your desire
to find structure in your life?
Chris: So, what ignited me to
improve myself was that,
I just saw things that I wasn't happy with
I was like lookin' at it like,
my situation in life; I was looking at
my YouTube channel; I was looking at my
dating life and I was like
'What can I do to be better?'
And that started this entire process.
Kati: And if you remember, what made you
realize that having structure in your life
actually made you a better, you?
Chris: So, structure is something I just
didn't have in my lie previously.
I used to always just run around from
A to B jumping around like,
'Aye this thing is cool, this thing's cool
this thing's cool. Ahaha this is awesome!'
But I would never really worry about-
like- what that meant or how to get to a
bigger place or plateau in life,
until I realized, that the one thing I
was missing was structure.
I never laid anything out
I didn't bullet point my life,
I started doing that
things go SO much better!
My projects got more efficient I had more
time in my day; I was happier.
I was able to actually work out now
like I was like I was getting kinda chubby
for a little bit there, nothing wrong with
that at all, but it was just something
I didn't like, so I was like
let me work on this, but I was also like
how am I gonna do that and also work
on YouTube? Youtube is so much of my time.
I also had a full time job, I also had
people I was gonna date.
Figuring things out around here and there.
I have a family like not a family like
I don't have kids, but like my mom, my
dad, my sister, whatever. I want
to see those too see those people too.
So, wait, how do I do this? Fact was
I had to lay down rules for myself.
I had to make basic points and say
'alright If I want to get this done how
much time would it actually take,
how much time can I actually allow for
this and how much time am I wasting when
I'm just running around all the time.
When I figured that out I was able to
really get my life in order and truely
figure out efficiency, work-life balance,
and again this structure allowed me
to be a better, stronger, smarter,
dare I say more handsome, me.
Kati: And what's the hardest part that you
or hardest thing, I guess,
that you've run into when
placing structure in your life,
or the hardest thing you've had to
overcome?
Chris: The hardest part of creating
structure in my life really has just been
figuring it out, because I feel like there
aren't everyday steps in general life
things going, okay, A, B, C, D, E.
Sometimes it's all over here sometimes
it's all over the place. So, it takes
a while of trial and error, so
it's been really hard to figure out like
what or really where I start, and
the thing is it takes a lot of
experimentation it takes a lot of practice
but once you get it down the results are
incredible.
The resources.. there are all kinds of
resources everywhere you have Google
when you have Google in your life,
which we all do,
there is no excuse for any kind failure.
At least that's all we got at least.
I think that if you have information
at your finger tips and you don't
use it you are doing yourself a disservice
Kati: And lastly how do you feel that
structure has really helped you improve
yourself are there things that you have
noticed about yourself get better already?
Chris: It's made my life, in general,
much better- umm- I started a new
series on my channel called- umm-
anime debates where I debate
anime all the time and at first
it just kinda at it at a haul. just threw
stuff at like the wall now it's structured
now every week we have something
different I'm gonna talk about and
I lay it out and I make sure that it's
not only nerdy but also educational and
also entertaining before that I just
turned on the camera and just said stuff
and it wasn't as efficient it wasn't as
good it wasn't structured. Now that I
have structure in my life everything is
better including my YouTube channel.
Now I do videos three times a week on
Monday on Wednesday and Thursday.
I allow myself a certain amount of time
to get things done I allow myself certain
amount of time to get certain videos
done and once it's done it's over and
it's great. I get do much more done and I
think my videos are better because of it.
So over all 'How has structure improved my
life?' It has made me amazing at doing the
things I was already doing just okay so if
you want to learn from anything I've told
you today just realize that if you don't
have structure you're just a pile of goo.
If your don't have structure you don't
have anywhere to start. Structure is the
beginning. Find that, and you have found
the source to all your problems, but
also all your success. Thank you guys
so much for having me on.
