Today i want to talk about why YouTube is such a beautiful way of not tackling your goals
First let’s just talk about how great Youtube is…
All generations before us would probably give a lot for having that kinda pool of knowledge and entertainment
We are very fortunate to have Youtube – and on top of all – we’re not even paying for it
So don’t get me wrong
I am probably one of youtube biggest fans and I have watched thousands of videos myself
so let me say this – i wouldn’t want to miss it
now that i made that clear let me get to what i wanted to talk about
I actually want to talk about myself and my relationship to youtube
When I have something really important to do
something i really should do …
but i really don’t want to do
there are 3 things that will pop into my mind
number 1 – ah i really need some food, suddenly im super hungry
classic
number 2 – oh damn, it’s time for the bathroom
and then number 3
one that doesnt require for me to even leave my PC
open up youtube and check the recommendations
usually one thought goes along with it
“Oh i really need a break, just one quick video”
45 Minutes later and halfway through some world war 1 explainer video i wake up and realize how i havent done anything useful – AGAIN
now – let’s get back to it
and the cycle continues
but why is that?
i realized one thing
it’s just much much easier
it’s lighter
it doesnt bring about any problems
you just sit and consume
there are no things you don’t know about or that could harm you
Imagine the task you should do is your taxes
thats one of those for me at least
there are soo many things i dont know
and many areas of taxes i really really dont want to know about
because its complicated and boring
but youtube isnt
doesnt matter how random the video is
it’s still very comfortable
And thats my 2 cents for today
based on observing myself countless times the last few years
thank you for listening
