      Me too. That's why I cooked something up (kinda). Another guy pulled me up on it, having mapped it on Google earth. It is 5m under a mile, but with my driveway to the barn being 12 m, I reckon I did an extra few meters every lap...

    I tried the half version of this. The block around my house is also 1 mile. Yesterday I got up at 7am and did two laps(2 miles). Then at the top of each hour, I did a loop. In between loops, same as your example, I completed as many projects on my to do list as I could. The plan was to see how many things I could accomplish while covering the distance of a half marathon. 13.1 miles. It took me 11 hours with 2 laps on the front and back end. By the end of the day, I took care of yard work, cleaned the garage, vacuumed, swept, and mopped the floors, cleaned the bathrooms, finished all the laundry, etc. I even prepped dinner so it would be ready in time. The last few miles was a bit of a grind. It was 102 degrees outside (July in Texas) so the heat made it interesting. Beau, I like your style. Thank you for the inspiration.

    Beau! I saw this video seven or eight months ago shortly after reading a Malcom Gladwell book that discussed the idea of marginal difference/accomplishing goals in increments. I decided that I would try your 'marathon' the following weekend since I had let a lot of little projects build up (and naturally put them off far too long). Since then, I've run one of your 'marathons' (or sometimes just a half marathon during the daylight) at least once a month! It's always the most productive time of my life. Thanks for the idea! I also saw your video on a junk paddle and decided to try that too--it only needs one more coat of polyurethane and it'll be done! You're an inspiration to many!

Turns out, nope, that was it. course complete. If it's something i'm interested in, i'll get stuck in and do it the second i'm aware of it, then move onto the next thing. The downside is, unless i'm working with someone equally driven/focused, I usually piss coworkers off. As I don't stop until it's complete. So it comes with pros and cons... IMHO, this personality type (of 100% focus 100% of the time) usually ends up being solo work, there's just no room for other people.

    When you fixed and hung that picture and said, “I’ve been meaning to do that for a year; and it was a 10 minute job” (or something to that effect) that really struck a chord with me. I’ve been depressed and anxiety riddled since my husband and several pets died these past two years. I use to love to do crafts and make a variety of different wood projects; but strayed away from them since my depression took hold. This past week I’ve done several small projects (looking for ideas on TH-cam) and it’s probably the reason this was in my recommended feed. Getting done even a small project has already helped my depression.
    I have a lot of physical medical problems, so I can’t run as far as you did; however, you’ve inspired me to do my own version of this.

    This video is somehow the most inspirational things I've ever seen. My perspective on life was changed more in these 17 minutes than at any other point in my almost 17 years of life. This video has encouraged me to want to live my life so much more productively and to appreciate the small milestones in life. to anyone reading this, good luck on your marathon of life and I hope you run it well.

    I've watched one documentary of Beau's everyday for the past 4 days and he seems to be such a pure human. Not a superhuman, but a raw, human, human. He builds things, maintains things, connects easily and wholesomely with others, creates grand dreams and makes them a reality; not only through his execution but the filming and sharing of them with the world, for free. One thing about his endurance feats, that is truly inspiring, his how he finds a way to endure, seemingly, intense suffering and discomfort with grace and often gratitude. He seems to have an unshakable determination and an indomitable mind and will that makes his adventures so compelling. It echos the core of the human spirit: chasing horizons, pushing personal limits, returning home with an epic story to tell and a perspective transformed, and most importantly not taking oneself so seriously that you can't enjoy a beer on the side of the road, (edit) and second most importantly whether your on an African beach or sleeping in your gum tree, there's never a reason to not brush your teeth.
    Cheers Beau, thanks for sharing all this with us

      BananaBoy Banana Well this was an experiment so of course this isn’t a real situation. My point is that we usually use the excuse “I’m too busy” when we have maybe one thing that’s asked of us. Instead of making an excuse we could try to maximize the time in our day to make it actually happen. If this guy can build furniture, sew clothes, plant 24 trees, spend time with his wife, make bread and soup from scratch, and fix things around the house, I don’t think I can take 15 spare minutes to clean my bathroom.

      Yeah. They should get a big costly petroleum burning truck and then take it just out of town and dump it on the ground like civilized people.

      Seriously? Y'all have never heard of the thrill of transgression? Never done one of the following? Shoplifting, littering, jaywalking, smoking, cheating on partners or taxes? Violating social mores can trigger exhilaration.

      @@shhlie nope, never. I've never shoplifted, I only jaywalk if I have to and I find no enjoyment in it, never smoked anything and never cheated on anything or anyone. Only idiots do this kind of stuff and clearly you are one. Just do something actually exhilarating like Bungie jumping, skydiving or ride rollercoasters like normal people. Fukin idiots I swear

      Johnny Löfman 😆bring it down a notch with the assumptions and insults please. I personally have a hard time trusting or connecting to people who claim to not have any vices. But that's probably just me. Have a good life man!

      Mohamed Amine Koubaa I mean, it was half a joke. I don’t have a job, I know, kinda sad. But I forced myself, like a little over a month ago, to wake up early and surf 3x a week, so I have a lot more energy now. Thanks!

      Exactly. Why not have an 'episode' and run the cameras, then go back to a dark room and chop it up into a story. Boom.

      I love getting in that headspace. The controlled "What else could I get done?" It usually hits at 3 AM and consists of me cleaning out my drawers to Fleetwood Mac. Love it.

    This guy's level of willpower and resilience is something I look up to, and I hope that by the time I'm his age I'll also be able to willingly push myself to the very limit without giving up. Thank you for being a role model man.
