Struggling with creative motivation at home ?

A visual Journal entry of how I've survived the last couple of weeks without travel.

Camera Gear -

About Me; My Name is Karl, I like to travel, I love tacos. I'm not a fan of tomatoes. I'm a very simple man.

Comment 'Carole Baskin killed her husband' if you read all the way through to this.
Stay Adventurous Dear Friends!!

Glad you’ve posted once again man, we’re gonna get through all this together. Don’t worry too much about the banana bread

I'm with you bro! This is hard, strange, weird, frustrating, scary, pointless, special, non-creative, and FAST times for sure... I started filming a sit-down video like this too, but I was afraid I would come across too sulky, too down, too hopeless, too much in regret of some sort, so I stopped recording halfway through. BUT now, after watching you in this authentic and precious mode, I actually feel better, so I might just finish that vid! I know everything happens for a reason, but WTF...man, I was supposed to be leading a photography workshop in Iceland right now, and instead, I'm isolated here in Bali, an island you would NOT recognize right now, watching this video and it strangely comforts me and inspires me. Thanks for this video, bro, and I hope to see you out there on adventures again soon!

thanks for this video bro!! much appreciated! love your content and honesty! God-willing all this hardship will pass and we come out stronger & united and more creative!!

We're all in this together! At the moment I'm stuck in Melbourne, Australia and my entire family lives in Italy. My mother just recently resulted positive to C19 as she works as a nurse and it was just matter of time. She also lives with 3 immune-compromised people who are extremely at risk right now because of her. To be honest, I still feel like I shouldn't complain about my situation as many other people are in a far worse place right now.
Thanks for the video Karl, every once in a while we just need to hear that we're not alone in this! Stay safe everybody but most importantly, stay positive! ❤️❤️❤️

Dude, I feel this. Went through a month where days would just disappear and I wasn't getting anything done. It's hard when you're inside and see the same things every day. That little spark gets lost in the uber mundane. But I wasn't even catching up on the shows or movies I wanted to instead. Days would just disappear. But I've been trying some similar things to what you're talking about and the past 2 weeks have got me moving back into my stride. It's just always good to know that it happens to others, because it often feels like it's only you going through it.

Literally so stoked for whats coming after all of this! Its been a tough few weeks!

[BrendanvanSon]

Hey man, believe me we're all at the struggle right now. I used to daily vlog. Now I'm having the hardest time getting 1 video a week that isn't the biggest pile of poo ever dropped online.
Oh, and I know all about the hat. I've been wearing it for 10 years. haha

[ManuelGussmann]

I really really feel you here! I did some things and didn’t do others, I constantly struggle(d) asked myself if I did enough or not, did finally the exercise or not.. at the end, now I try to remember every day what I created or enjoyed not doing. So embracing the Netflix Binging as a positive thing whilst looking out for framing, colors and storylines as positive as I do the 12h editing session next day or a week later being actually productive.

Btw: I‘m so glad you have that unique way of creator youtubeing! It feels honest and real! Please stay like that on here and don’t start putting out just another mavic air 2, whatever new action cam, crazy new mirrorless camera sponsored promo bs video.

Love your style!

10 months later this is more relevant than ever. Thanks Karl!!!

This is the most honest and genuine YouTube video I’ve watched. I feel you so bad, social media can be a bad place for us creatives sometimes

[ProjectSploosh]

First off bro I’m thankful for the camera angles, shits are clean as hell. But also bro thank you for the video, during these times it’s hard as hell and we all see you bro. Don’t feel the need to push yourself too much... we understand and we are here for you g! As always love the videos and love that you’ve become more genuine with your audience and love seeing the support for you in these comments. We will be out of this in no time but keep that head up bro!

[Kononiukjacob]

Absolutely loved this video man. It’s motivating to see one of your favourite artists go through similar phases as yourself. It goes to show that people behind screens aren’t just super humans with seemingly infinite motivation and ambition, but instead have lazy and unmotivated days too. I love what you do and for the first time in a long time, I’ve been able to watch something on my phone and actually feel connected. I’d love to see more of you on YouTube and I reckon you deserve a lot more credit! And your photos on Instagram are the bomb brother 👊💣

[francescadiana]

Thanks for being so open about how you're feeling right now! You're helping others. Also with the absolute show off outro 😂 It's appreciated! Literally, my to do list yesterday was taking care of my mail and putting a nail into my wall to hang a hat. Clearly I panicked and put off decided where to place it

[ChristianBeauxYeux]

Thanks for posting this video, been kinda feeling the same lately and I guess I just learned how to be more empathetic to myself. Not beating yourself up and be kind to yourself has been my mantra these days !

[ceez]

Poor baby. Him didn't know how to slow down. So used to goin goin going, which is great, but also gotta rest and maybe face what ur running from. It's tough, but a GREAT life teacher!!! Great moment to have here n there w urself

[ByDanielJames]

Not to preach and all but Gods got me through all this, just been getting closer to Him. Starting my days praying sets them up to be super productive🙏🏾🙌🏾

[KTWilliams]

I feel you 100%. I took the year off to build my photography business and stepped away from YouTube. Now that I feel I'm ready to start making videos again all this happens and I feel like I'm in a slump that I can't get out of.

[heretocreatefilms]

Dude I relate to this video in so many ways. It's currently what I'm struggling with at the moment but I try to stay positive. I fully believe that you will come out of this better than before going into it. Also, don't ever feel ashamed to admit when your going through a hard time or that you're not allow to show other emotions than happiness. I see this far too many times where if an influencer were to state what they are going through, they would sometimes receive backlash and comments stating that people less fortunate have it worse. Which can be true, but at the same time those exact people making the comparison don't understand influencers are human as well and no amount of money, social status, etc will negate a person from going through the ups and downs of life. Stay positive man. Your work inspires me everyday and it's my goal to hopefully cross paths with you one day while out on the road.

[rausses]

I just was scrolling for watching something fun and really I've been so many videos about How to be more productive?, but I stopped in your video and was so awesome that talk 80% about your video and how usual people feel, and at the end I saw your three advice a real achievement advices. Thanks guy I hope can watch more like this videos

[LikeTheGoodStyle]

I love the realness Karl! You're one of my fav people online I've come across. Always keeping it real and your overall attitude is something to learn from, even in a state like this.
