Not sure you're getting credit for the referrals. Don't see any referral string in the url upon reaching the store through your link.
Did you never play Persona 4 or 5 ? Shocked there were no Persona references in this video hahah
If life is a game, having sinbads vids are like having a walkthrough guide
like that old man with the long beard who you meet at various points along the quest.. and wonder.. hey.. how did you get to this new spot
Boom! What a comment
And thats a fact
He’s the Slayermusiq of life
Couldn’t have said this better!
The last part really got to me. "If your life were a video game, you'd never let your character just sit and stare at a screen." Really vibing with the nerdy productivity theme here haha
Yeah that's exactly on point if you have played the Sims, whenever my sims tried to waste their time playing some snowboard game instead of leveling up some logic or fitness skills, I'd just be like "what the hell are you doing with your life?"... All while playing the Sims
@@nikolaisedov2295 lol love the irony
Yeah its not that simple tho
I DO NOT STILL PLAY RUNESCAPE
Hahaha of course you don’t
This guy totally doesn't still play RuneScape.
I-i mean I don't either..
@@thisisntsergio1352 none of us still play.. ri- right?....
You never quit rune. You only ever take breaks.
I love how Sinbad's channel is just a combination of everything that he's into, but it all works cohesively.
"i can hear the thunder!".
Literally ay
I always thought why am I stacking money and buying mansions in GTA, when I could be doing this in real life 🤷🏾♂️
way easier in gta tho lol
You are never going to achieve that. Mansions in LA starts from $5M and it's only poor mansions. JUSTIN BIEBER's mansion costs around $20M. Now. Try to achieve this with your $40K/year nation average salary
just start doing heists for Lester bro
Why am I doing perfect dodges and having near death experiences in real life when I can be doing that in video games
4:36 Step 1 - Clarify your objective.
8:18 Step 2 - Decide what grinding looks like (how are you going to reach your objective).
11:15 Step 3 - Track grind activities and measure level ups.
14:39 Step 4 - Look at yourself from a bird's eye perspective

Clicked so fast because I wanna be the Main Character of my video game, I mean life 😮💨
Everytime I play Pokemon, I easily put in 20 to 30 hours just playing to beat the league. Usually ten of those are just spent grinding and I have no problem doing it and actually enjoy it.
You're like that guy at the beginning of every pokémon gym, who encourages us to do the best and offer our all then congratulates us when we've completed the challenge. 🔥
There's only one way to level up in life th-cam.com/video/nyGLzC9vwfY/w-d-xo.html
Love the OSRS references, this was such a big part of my childhood*
*and at 28 years old too
Runescapes golden generation lol
I found this video by searching “how to make life like RuneScape” lol. As I have 10mil in RS and am bankrupt irl 😂😭
Remember all cool guys from Lumbridge?
I was Jealous
You are like Navi from Zelda ..guiding us through life's challenges. Legend.
PS. Free armour trimming! You can trust me with your Full Rune!
Wave: sell lobs 100gp each
Man i really need life navigator right now. Wheres my compass
Whats your total level on Old School Runescape m8?
It was like 2000
At this point y’all better collab soon 💯😂
@@CaptainSinbad Ironman progress series when??
@@erenjeager5290 they did a podcast together
@@CaptainSinbad ayyy 2k world unlocked. 2.2k BTW
Created a Google Sheets spreadsheet to track my time spent in certain categories (3 currently). 1 Second = 1 Experience point. I'll write down each minute spent in whatever category I work on then the cell next to it represents total minutes times 60 and that equals your experience earned. Example of system: you read for 30 minutes, multiply that times 60 to get your experience earned, 1800 exp. Next step is to set up an exp/level threshold so I can keep track of my level lol. Going to gamify this hard ngl. I was always proud of my Runescape levels, now time to build pride in my IRL skill levels.
If you make this you should make it a notion database and then we all can use it too
I think Oblivion system is better here, no thousands of exp but levels of a skill, and then when you level multiple skills a bit, your stats naturally grow and you level up, also in TES games (Skyrim and such) you level up skills by grinding them, so like in real life!
i swear anything that this guy puts out I can watch, doesn't matter what it is
much love from aus
RuneScape taught me so much about life. My thing was cutting wood and selling it on the market in world 1 or 2 (before the bs exchange). Then I started merchanting wood for a quick turn around in profit. My favorite thing was to cut wood though. I used to watch naruto on the side and just watch my money pile up. I’d just have to avoid the pesky tree when I pissed it off. I’ve played many games since then but none of them have been as good as RuneScape. Now I’m in my early 30s, finishing up med school and very thankful for the lessons I learned back then. Patience, hard work, perseverance. Cheers and thanks for a trip down memory lane.
I’ve always been about leveling up. I just switched from gaming to real life.
I need this main character energy in my life
10:05 the best transition I have ever seen in my life
Hmm what’s the name of this transition? Is is available in Adobe Premier?
@@Wolf_runner12 well i don't know man
Haha when I read your comment I was like "is that the one from the parking garage?" and then it was. I was really impressed as I watched too
i mean it was decent but it wasn’t “best” nor smooth, idk why ppl feel like they need to over exaggerate and pump up youtuber sm im sure he knows it wasn’t the best
@@c6tlvr it's best for me atleast
THE KING HAS RETURNED!
The problem with gamification is the MIND I think.
In real life you've a mind connected to your character.
But in the games MIND is not a problem ,you already have a bird eye perspective.
(Surprise from BIHAR 🤗 Captain 🤗)
Well, who's ready to win the *game of life*
Another element (related to what you mentioned) that makes it way easier in games:
You immediately see the progress in the form of gaining XP, in contrast to a task like studying.
When you're studying you're not seeing a target value of the knowledge required for that subject, and not seeing the current amount increasing in such a fast rate. And then there's also the question is if you will remember it for the test.
Gamefying life to stay motivated is an ingenious idea.
BRB, gonna hop on Skyrim and then Borderlands for the next 6 hours
Haha the accuracy. It used to turn my stomach seeing how many hours I had put in. 🤣
You can see your time played in OSRS in one of the menus, but there’s a warning before like “are you sure you want to see this” but in a more official sounding way before it displays it 😂
Definitely saw this sponsorship coming in the Heros Journal FB group! So excited for this Collab!
Living life with purpose and concrete goals is like living with cheats on.
Awesome video Sinbad!
Happiness is when you finally evolve your charmander to a charizard and then finally making it a lv.100 super chad. Killing 10000's of pidgeys and caterpies takes a lot of *grinding*.
Nikhil, I have been here since 30k subscribers and it is so good seeing you level up video by video. Watching your videos have made me better, they are so relatable, the fact that you give a no bullshit guide to life's quest and the same time produce funny and entertaining content is why you're one of my favourite TH-camr. I discovered so many other great people like David Goggins, Jordan Peterson just because of your skits, and just when I was feeling badly motivated about how I was ever going to loose my weight I saw your video on 'a lot can be changed in 3 months' and after that I have been running 6 kilometres every single day, practising No F, and I really feel at my best ever, these small incremental changes really do have compounding effect, and the proof is right in front of my eyes as I have seen your videos improve with every upload.
Cheers
You have the perfect channel. RuneScape will always have a place in my heart that brings back wonderful memories. I struggle with grinding in life, but gamifying the grind can help substantially. I was considering starting a TH-cam channel similar to yours but there’s no way I could do it as productively as you lol.
Dude THANKS a bunch for hooking up with The Hero's Journal team! IDK how I never heard of these guys but I love the product. Big fan of theirs now and got you to thank for putting us on!
One of my new favorite videos. Thank you man, I’m gonna be coming back to this a lot
This is honestly one of my favorite Sinbad videos, I saw a similar video from Better Ideas and I love your different approach to the same topic.
I loved your original title first (and already forgot the exact name 😆) but hot damn, man - such en excellent video! I’ve got thinking how I spent an entire year grinding in Guild Wars (old mmorpg) and never getting tired or bored, and in life - I sometimes feel like the laziest person. I have a different perspective now. Gonna rewatch it again - it’s a true gem! And birds view perspective - wow. Thank you! And Stick RPG!! Man I spent some time playing this game back then - had tons of fun. Never thought I would hear about that game again.
And omg, that Hero journal looks amazing! 😬 Thank you so much, love you Cap! 🙌🏽❤️
Bro, this dude mirrors a lot of my thoughts. Very inspiring and synchronistic, thank you.
This is the best life advice/grind channel
I swear if people treated their life like Skyrim and put dedication into each of their skill set mannnnn people would be richer then Jeff Bezos
Not every game's goal is to be rich though
If people treated life like Skyrim, we would have a bunch of racist people waging civil war and an assassination cult lol. Well, to be fair, it is not Morrowind where I can legally get someone killed.
Dumbest fucking comment I've seen in a while. You're not going to become as rich as Bezos or Musk or whoever just by being "dedicated." You need luck and connections.
@@what1356 I don't think he means it literally. I think he said that in the spirit that people would be generally richer. No need to be hateful.
@@what1356 definitely the dumbest reply I’ve seen 🥰
Yess! Finally!
I was thinking about this phenomena for about a month, and here's your clear explanation of it, Thank You :)
Maybe think about it and do a video about gamifying relationships! Definetly worth a part 2 imo!
Love your vids bro keep them coming!
Almost done with my current journal so I'm def interested in this Hero's Journal thing!
Another video from Captain Sinbad to learn from! Thank you as always man! 😄
Yo I mean it, you are legit the most unique content producer in the productivity sphere
Love the new camera setup. Also, a relevant sponser lol
been researching gamification recently, so many videos... this one is one of the best vids i've seen on the subject, esp w/ the birds eye view and grind activities
I like these long well planned videos, it really let's you express yourself both with your words and your clips.
Greatness is Coming ❤️
Watched your channel for a couple of years now, but this is my favorite video to date :)
One of the biggest lessons i've taken from video games in general, there is so much to learn through loosing and failure. I'm a massive fan of Soulsian games, despite the taglie of 'ohhhh its hard prepare to dieeee!', they are not hard games once you realise that your loss is 100% on your actions (ignoring glitches).
You healed and Ludex Gundyr side-kicks your hollow ass into the next age of light? Should have dodged. Took one to many swings at a boss and you died? You got greedy. Patience is one of the biggest virtues those games have taught me (or tried to!), within the game you're just some hollow or ashen one or nameless hunter, but you can kill gods if you keep on coming back again and again and again....
6:18 That's hilarous, I also wanted a Tyranitar amazingly bad. I still remember when my dull looking Pupitar finally became this bad ass pokemon. I had the same experiece with getting a Salamance in Ruby as well becuse of how awesome it looked. Nostaligia is a hell of a drug kids.
On another note, Yakuka 7 is just this trope writ large and it's a pretty great game, with plenty of Dragon Quest style gridning, great story and a hilarous main character. I'd reccommed you check it out when you have the time though Captain!
Awesome work as usual man, keep on being great.
Dude I’ve been thinking this forever. Thank you for reading my mind and making this vid.
Thank you for this one dude, loved videogames growing up, this makes sooo much sense but I never thought about it like this!!
Thank you!
best reallife rpg so far.
Im creating a mindmap skilltree on an app.
Body, Mind, Emotions are the 3 base roots.
This is an idea I have liked for a while, but you definitely came up with some good ideas. Great video mate.
This video spoke volumes to me. From Old School Runescape to grinding for shiny Pokémon in Gen 2-6 Pokémon games, I have spent 27 years of my life on these activities and not enough grinding on my life goals. Thank you for this video I appreciate you greatly
Honestly fired up, great video!
This is so true, just need make goals and put a clear plan in place!!
Great insights, Captain ;) thanks for sharing!
Insightful vid, and something that I've been practicing and having success with for a few weeks now. Here's a few things you'll want to keep in mind if you want to successfully gamify your life:
1. In addition to life being like an mmorpg, it's also like another very popular game many people have played - The Sims. Specifically, you'll want to regularly take stock of your 'Needs' bars - Energy, Hunger, Fun, etc and make sure they'll full enough, otherwise you'll rebel against your mind and refuse to do any work, just like the avatars in the Sims would plead with you and refuse to do anything if they were starving, for example. You have to take care of those baseline things to do good work.
2. It's one thing to watch your character take a sword to the face in a video game. It's quite another thing when YOU have to take a sword to the face. It's far more uncomfortable to bench press 225 than it is to watch your character do it on screen. It takes way more effort when YOU have to go up to the girl and risk rejection rather sitting in a chair and clicking a few buttons. You have to mentally prepare yourself for this reality or you'll simply scurry back to the comfort zone to watch screens the second things get uncomfortable.
3. There are no rules to this game. If lower level people are content to stay lower level and just have fun, that's their prerogative. Just because you want to play the game differently and you have higher skills doesn't mean you're playing the game "better" than them.
Other than that, we're all just players in the game. We're all at different levels, some rising, some falling, some decked out in the sickest gear and phats while others beg for free stuff in Lumby. Good luck.
Thanks for this -- it's useful thinking for some stuff I've been working on. Also -- the Hero's Journal is awesome.
Idk if this is all old footage but the range of characters...👏🏻
I actually still think it's really important you derived so much fun and enjoyment from games in your youth and I'm not sure you should think about them as 'fake goals' because ultimately it gave you pleasure and purpose at a certain period in your life, that probably should be about having fun anyway.
Man the nostalgia this video gives haha. That game was the shit back then and can directly relate to everything in this video. Great concept
Thanks man I really needed this point of view, 💯
YESSSS!!
I couldn't agree more! Life really is the ultimate RPG, your stats represent what you spend your time doing. It really is that simple! Remember to play the META!
Great video man. Really resonate with it
Thank you Nikhil, your videos really motivate me!
The Skyrim soundtrack at the end gave me chills, and I recently discovered that videogame soundtracks really motivate me to do my grind activities because it makes my life feel like a game.
I sometimes take a quick cold shower with the Skyrim theme music on
@@nikolaisedov2295 Fo Krah Diin!!!!
One of your best vids imo 👏
I needed this man
This morning was contemplating buying a moleskin for journaling... then this came up;
Simply put, revisiting the amount of joy as a kid/teen playing RS got me SO excited seeing this loop back to the journal;
Great work sharing this.
This is truly motivation and eye opening.
The Bird's Eye View is a great idea.
I have done that before but I was doing it subconsciously and wasn't aware I was doing it to motivate myself.
I was waiting for a video like this from you, Nikhil. It's here 😃
Also side note - you're literally back to your lean 2019 self, it's so inspiring. Great job man
Sindbad is that one guy whose been playing for a while and is teaching you as much as he knows lol. That one guy who tells you advice you just don’t forget 💯
Really resonated with this, awesome vid
Even though I really don't have the time to put into a game like Runescape and probably never will, the nostalgia of that soundtrack is like nothing else. I do miss it, just can't justify leveling up my strength if I can level up my strength in real life. Great video as always
This man adds value to my life even through the things the whole universe would call a waste of time. Greatness is a step closer. Cheers!🍻
yooo this video was so funny and interesting! this is something i havent ever considered but it seems so practical and obvious
love the RuneScape analogy. that was a great part of my childhood and actually it gave me skills to "grind" in my adulthood.
Yo i can't lie this is my favorite video of yours so far,, I'm biased because it's about games but still pure gold
This video was so detailed and the last part was so relatable i got the answer i needed to change my life thank you sinbad 🙏
Amazing video. Def going to check out the hero's journal.
stick rpg was one of the best rpg's from good o' days! brings back memories!
How to gamify your life
Best point for me is the birds eye view, or I prefer to call it the Global Perspective, or Cosmic Perspective 14:30
This helps to remove yourself from the emotions you feel at that moment
I think this idea is very powerful
I can never forget mark rober's Ted talk. He discussed this same concept and I was also thinking about it a lot lately and then captain made this video. It's all in how you frame things
Wow the final philosophy was amazing🔥🔥
hey, hey captain, I just wanna say,....... love you, your voice pushes me up whenever I'm down.
What a nostalgic throwback. But in all honestly, I feel like no one ever quits runescape for good.
Yeeee, it's super easy to be motivated in-game because You have a clear path, and You are guaranteed to get a reward if You stick to it, aaaaand it doesn't regress back... In life, it works, but You have way more chaos that distracts and sometimes everything seems meaningless because we can't stop. The regression and the eventual death - it's pretty hardcore when You putting things into perspective and can be demotivating for many (or very motivating). While in-game on the other hand You immerse into a different reality where You trick Yourself to be immortal and all the progress is always there.
Though then again, through spirituality You kinda achieve the same feeling, as Soul or Consciousness collecting experiences learning lessons of this reality and the progress is always there - somewhere.
Anyway, great video as always, many nostalgic little clips! :)))
He has arrived yess!! The Captain !!
You are leveling up with every video you upload. Lets grind 🔥
Greatness is coming ❤️
OG runescape players know the grind 😂
Stick RPG is amazing and I totally forgot about it. Thanks man haha
I have to say I'm loving the new colorful lighting
Love the OSRS parallel... so happy to see that you loved this
The grinding required in that game taught me a lot about work ethic and trained me for life's shallow tedious tasks, I feel like I'm very strong at them and I credit it to Runescape 100%
Edit: AHHH THE OSRS MUSIC
Lowkey RS made me a super fast Typer too. Shit was a hack for school. My dating skills could definitely still use some work though 😅
It was very nice. I'll try the gamifying part. I've tried viewing myself as a 3rd person when I work out, I feel out of my body while doing squats and keep counting until it is done like I'm pressing a button in a game, it hurts a lot at the same time, it is equally rewarding.
We are all wizards (the mind over matter) and warriors (the physical aspect throughout our trails and progressions)
Perspective is important and makes our journey through live exciting and fulfilling.
I relate to this so heavily it's like you stole the thoughts from my head.
It's satisfying in games and easier to motivate yourself because you don't feel any physical discomfort. Where as you do a plank ..
I love this was so creative lol. Anybody born in the 90s can 100% relate to this, so many great rpgs out there! Shout out to Pokémon ‘blue and red!
Your content is marvelous 🥰🥰🥰
