#VanNeistat #TheSpiritedMan #Burnout

Oh. I might have to okay come on hey x. Is your water bottle red. Red.

Yeah. Yeah and take it inside. The current iteration of this routine has been and refined over the course of the past three years. One of the master class writers or maybe.

Several of them have hammered home that the routine is the job routine over everything so many bathroom breaks doctor. Says. It's fine lack of energy. Is the problem energy.

Vanishes brain. Shuts down used to happen at 5. Pm then. 3 then months later 1pm.

Now it's 11 am brain shuts down at 11. Am. Body follows used to use anger and rage to summon the last emergency bits of energy. But we can't do that anymore hard out at 2 30 to pick up the boy okay.

The blessing. The greatest blessing is time spent with the boy some energy creeps back with the boy by friday. Though it's gone the nap. Tweak doesn't seem to work the nap tweak knocks him out for the day it seems.

But he naps anyway he used to be able to work until 5. Pm then 3 pm. Then one now 11 am brain shuts down at 11am. This is burnout slow burnout one cylinder.

At a time starving man thinks. Only of bread this spirited man thinks. Only of sleep. He suspects that this fatigue is not physical.

Wow you're skelly whoa look at you i got faith. He suspects. This fatigue begins in the spirit. He who has a why to live can bear almost any how so say it.

The philosopher who lost his mind is it laziness. The fatigue comes from a form of laziness or cowardice disguised as laziness maybe laziness disguised as cowardice the routine is there to optimize energy productivity and sanity. But the routine itself is exhausted this burnout feels fake cunning baffling gonna fight through it i'm gonna switch the run from 6 20 am to 9 00 am to keep the writing sessions uninterrupted got a trip planned that might help got a big break planned that must help until then it's white knuckles. This is the part of the marathon where you gotta swallow your pride and walk slow down.

But don't stop this week on the patreon a live stream. Answering your questions. The link is right there.

    These "peak behind the curtain" videos are my favorite. How you organize your stuff. How you organize your brain. How you organize your life. How to's. Little trips into your past. Excellent content. Don't over think it, you are the most organic and interesting subject matter of your channel.
    It seems the writing and the voice overs are the hardest, most time consuming part of your work. And though they are very well done, I'd still be happy to watch your content with less of that structure.

    This is one of the best videos I have seen on Youtube. I was nodding in agreement throughout. It's like someone went inside my mind and verbalized the confusing thoughts inside. Great stuff !

    Time for a major change in the routine? 😎👍🏻

    All too familiar. Found out the best thing you can do is stop and give yourself a true break. Hope you can find the rest your spirit needs, Van.

  10. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars A Day In The Life says:

    Sure. When you started, you were excited about your new adventure, now you're flipping video-burgers. Same as any other job. You were probably extra productive in the begining, and shouldn't compare to those moments.
