How I made my life a video game

[marsmcfly]

I recently started labeling my daily to do list "sidequests" and it has somehow helped me be more productive

I usually hit quicksave before going to job interviews. Works every time!

"When you overcome resistance, you absorb it's power" I think I found my meditation mantra.

If I grinded in real life as hard as I did in borderlands 2 to get legendaries, I’d be a millionaire by now

1.Get clearer objectives (and write them down)
2. Reduce difficulty (set smaller goals to accomplish the big goals)
3.Gameify resistance/ discomfort
4. Embrace risk
5. Reflect on the awards that life has to offer

Damn this video is incredible, just got round to watching it from my watch later haha

[SuperPixel]

"Rewards in life are hidden behind discomfort pay-walls", such an insightful and oddly-true concept!

The only thing I don't like about the "real life" game I'm playing, is that if I'm not continuously using my skills, I forget them.

I don't know what's different about this channel compared to other self help channels, but he's always able to come up with ideas I can actually relate to and advice I can actually execute in real life

I wasted 3 years of my school life slacking off. But ever since i found your channel i have changed a lot. Thanks to your words they always have a huge impact on me. I cant thank you enough!

I've been using this mindset on and off for probably almost 10 years and your video is the best description of the problems and useful solutions to lifestyle gamification I've ever seen!

Bro "by overcoming the resistance, you gain the resistance's power" IS THE MOST MOTIVATING THING IVE EVER HEARD IN MY LIFE LIKE WOW NOTHING LIKE A OL' PROVERB SOUNDIN' THING TO GET YOU GOIN'

I like how candid this guy is. He takes his natural tendencies to make common mistakes and just kind of writes it into the script in a way that feels genuine and is even a little entertaining.

My personal trainer had told me "Resolve yourself to already be at your target weight." He gave me all of the tools, a quest log and an end goal. It's been pretty easy with those processes.

I thought this video would be a guy walking around with virtual reality glasses collecting power ups on the sidewalk… but instead I was told I’m in a state of decay. This went south real quick

Not gonna lie...I needed this. I really, really did. I am currently on my third year of college, studying something I personally believe I do not really wish to pursue that much, but am also on an academical situation which got me away from keeping the opportunity to essentially seek opportunities in a way that was viable. From thinking "I finally made it...I'm finally here, after all the work.." I ended at feeling as if I was at the verge of losing it all. My family's faith in me, my "happy" and extroverted behavior, my academic "ranking"...essentially everything I had been working for ever since youth. And for the very first time in my life, in this specific situation, I Alone. Regretful. I felt an indescribable amount of pain that would never leave. That emotion is still there, however, recently I've come to realize I cannot give up, nor stop moving forward, seeking that sentiment of tranquility and stillness (in a good sense, of course). This video...oddly enough, sort of helped to the point where I'm tearing up XD. I don't know how to say this, I...guess I just really needed to hear this. I do not know this channel, nor you as a person, but...I thank you for this. I just subscribed simply because this was great advice. And most certainly something I needed to hear. I wish you well, and I now leave you be. Of course, at this point I bet you already went camping XDXD but I still hope things went well and that they are still going well. Have a good day, or night..or...afternoon...and thank you.

My life is like a video game, trying hard to beat the stage...
