    Ok so it turns out the "Eisenhower Complex" is way more commonly known as the "Eisenhower Matrix" so if you want to find a template for that, Google the latter, not the former.
    ALSO, THANK YOU FOR 1 MILLION SUBSCRIBERS. SEE YOU IN THE NEW YEAR!

    1: Do the worst-first strategy. Don't start with fun, start with the most boring or dreaded thing to do.
    2: Braindumping. Got 6 things on your mind? ... Write things down to stop thinking about it. Optionally use Eisenhowers matrix to sort things in 4 categories and execute upon that.
    3: Mindfullness. Meditate, or Enter the present, rather than the default brain setting of "looking at it".

    This whole year has been a massive journey toward operating at my full mental potential, both with external and internal roadblocks taken into account. I have clinical depression and "brain fog", including cognitive issues, are a major symptom of depressive episodes for me. Being able to name and identify external factors that exacerbate this in addition to proper medication has made this year- for all the dumpster fireyness it encompasses- one of the best mental health years I've had in my adult life. Better Ideas has been a TREMENDOUS part of that- so thanks, yo!

      I understand you. Brain fog sucks. I’ve been living with it for over 3 years. It never goes away. I practice the techniques, described in the video it makes me feel a little better. however, the feeling of “everything is unreal and foggy” never goes away.
      What are the things that you find most helpful for you to cope with the challenge?

    • @audreyrush6667
      @audreyrush6667 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@МаріяБіноя The answer is honesty- with myself and others about the reality of what’s happening. There’s a funny tweet about a guy being called on to answer in class, and after a tense pause he says “give me a minute- I’m not dumb I’m just panicking”.
      I’ve gotten SO MUCH out of admitting my given circumstances to my family and, fortunately, my employer. I have a demanding job that involves a lot of strategy pivoting and personal interaction. I’m fortunate enough to report to someone who understands that supporting your staff means better results across the board (groundbreaking...). So anyway after a meeting in which I was particularly fogged I let them know privately: 1. I have clinical depression 2. A symptom, for me, is a range of cognitive issues 3. I can do just about anything you ask of me and pull reports to back it, I just might need a minute to step back and think things through.
      Same with the family, except replacing the product-driven goal with “I’m going through X, I’d like space/time for a bit and I’ll be right back with you”.
      Am I crazy privileged to have an understanding boss and supportive family? You bet. But you never get what you don’t ask for, and it’s always worth asking for space to take care of yourself.

    Dude, your videos are so well-written, high quality, and nuanced. As a PhD student in need of some mental clarity, I really loved this episode. Especially the fact that you mention 'get the basics right first' in the beginning of the video, and your reflection on self-help in general and how you don't want to be the next guy claiming to have all the answers, I really love that honesty and humbleness. Big contrast with 99% of all other youtubers that create stuff on these kinds of topics.

To make matters even stranger, I am also a guy in my mid twenties, with a shaved head due to male-pattern baldness that struck sooner than we had all hoped. Short beard, in decent shape, the works.
    I'm trying to make this comment sound as not-creepy as possible. Mentally and physically I relate so much to Joey. Watching these videos makes me feel good, having the confirmation that there are people out there in similar environments, having similar experiences, and dealing with first-world problems in similar ways that I do.

      Because it‘s hard to start, let‘s be honest. Most of us have their attention span and ability to focus fucked by smartphones, social media etc and are constantly overstimulated. Something as „boring“ as literally just sitting and breathing doesn‘t give us the quick instant gratification that we are used to. I think meditation should be implemented in schools and at workplaces more, it could literally change the world.

    During the lockdown i had started procrastinating things again and it was getting worse till i decided im not letting myself fall back into those patterns. During this battle against my slacker self i had started writing things down on a notepad so i dont forget things and instantly my anxiety started getting better and boy its so satisfying crossing things off that list.

    Wow writing down makes so much sense. It is true that when I remember to do something and mentally decide to do it later, that thing pops out of my mind constantly and disturbs whatever I'm doing at the moment.

    At the start when he talks about everything ' clicking ' I think this feeling is the ability to be focused on one thing , e.g focusing on improving your life and nothing else taking you away from this goal. Plus I think it's good of you always have a reason for your actions it gives clarity because you always know why your doing something and it's harder to lose yourself

    I’m trying your tips from the video about being tired. Can’t say I’m doing everything you pointed out as I read before bed from my phone and other stuff that might contradict my fight for rest. I am only 3 days in and I never thought it could get any better.
    My mental health fucked up my sleep and then no matter how much I slept, I would always feel tired, and that even made it harder to be mentally stable, like a cycle.
    I decided it was time to change as restlessness was taking over my life, I couldn’t even walk inside my house and I would get sleepy right after breakfast.
    I’m trying the coffee technique you explained in your video, also the sleep window, the room ambience, etc. And it’s going pretty well so far.
    Might try what you present in this video, but what I really wanna say is thank you for making these. ❣️

    Totally agree of the mindfullness tip! I use to when i was in a social situation with a new person for a longer period then im use to, after leaving the interaction I'd go over it in my head for 10 minutes after but now i use mindfulness and look at the thing and objectively look at it and then chuck it into " That was the past" make mes move on easier then in the past,
