    Even though I'm not actively developing a game, this video is motivating me to get started on the projects I keep putting off

    Hey. Great video man! Listen, this is a very common thing.. And very well spotted that the environment around us changes all the time, and it's frustrating if you don't notice it, and for some reason have less time than usual.. A lot of it can be solved by scheduling. plan out what day in the week you will work on the game, that will also leave you time for netflix and things like that, and you won't feel bad about spending your time elsewhere, if it is planned out.
    Listen, Today, around 6 hours from now, I will release a video on why indie devs are losing motivation, and how they can deal with it.. At least some of it. Please drop by 🙂
    Anyways. Thanks for sharing this. Many people feel the same, so it's nice knowing they are not alone.

      Also.. About monetisation... I've had my channel now for around 4 years, I just hit my video number 100, and I first last week got approved for monetisation. Been working my ass off on my channel.. And just like you. I see developers putting out 4 videos, and then they get a shit-ton of views, and it's not even good videos or an interesting game.. so yeah.. what's going on? I don't know...
      but forget about the other developers, you will reach your goals eventually.. Just takes a lot of work and dedication

      Hey, friend. I appreciate the comment. I will go watch your video. I have been reading Atomic Habits, and I agree that I need some kind of schedule rather than just randomly going about my day and not "realizing" what I am doing. I hope things are well with you and your game. Cheers.

      Thank your for the reminder to just focus on me and my own progress. I know good things will happen in time. I just need to be patient.

    Im not very good at putting my thoughts into words - sorry for the ramble
    I know its cliche but just take it one day at a time. Its all any of us can do. Reality can be brutal and people are awful. Shit is fucked. I think thats why so many of us prefer fantasy worlds. Luckily, we exist in a time where we can create and explore those worlds
    Anyway, I really just wanted to say - Take care of yourself and those you love! You're doing great! Keep going! Seriously
