Why You Never Have Enough Time

- As I explore the feelings of inadequacy that I have for myself, I feel like I'm peeling away the layers and finding all of kinds of things I wasn't expecting.
Maybe even my focus on structure and productivity is a distraction from something even deeper, something even more valuable that I should be paying closer attention to: the present moment.

"There's no getting there. We're already there." The shot seems to move forward towards the island while maintaining a stationary perspective, representing the illusion of progress in life. The island represents a future goal for him and his work is to just enjoy admiring it from the shore. Reminds me of To the Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf. We're all drawn in to our desires inexplicably and often they don't hold the fulfillment we seek. It's about appreciating what we have in the present moment. Nathaniel, you are a genius and your cinematography is poetry.
wow, just wow
I can’t even compare or try to type a comment like this boy!
But I can agree with you, this video has an incredible production, meaning and representation of the message from Nathaniel. Good for you Nathan, great for us! Thanks!
Watch The Lighthouse by Robert Eggers
How funny. I just finished reading To the Lighthouse a few days ago. It's a brilliant novel, and I definitely agree with you.
I think you really look like Daniel Radcliffe. Am I the only one feeling 👀👀
I never have enough time because I’m always watching videos explaining why I never have enough time.
I never have enough time because I'm always reading people's comment about why they never have enough time under the movie about why you never have enough time..
@@outsider1st i never have enough time because i'm always reading people's comment about responding people's comments about why they never have enough time under a video about why you never have enough time
@UCcMGo0JM1fpHN3xAE1jAOQQ please stop it and get life
I wanna say that
Find myself chilling on TH-cam with like minded people, fills my time better than network TV which I rarely watch. I an conscious we have limited time so I exercise control over who and what I watch.
your videos are always so beautiful and profound, but light at the same time. They give me a sense of balance and peace, which is rare to find on social media, so thank you for that.
I am so grateful for your videos and so lucky to have stubbled upon them ❣️
This video just gave me 8 minutes 42 seconds of an inner peace, idk why...
No tienes idea de cuán inspirador ha sido este vídeo para mí, muchísimas gracias por hacerlo.
Keep it up!
Thank you very much Nathaniel. Those are the exact same questions I ask myself, but I still can’t bring myself to really live that way. I feel like, no matter what I do, it’s not enough. I really enjoyed this wonderful video, and it really helped me🤗✨
I have just discovered your channel, and as a 25 year old, your perspective resonates with me on a spiritual level. I feel less scared to see that there are people lke myself, who are questioning life, the rat race and other lifestyles. Thank you.
You've been reading my mind again o.o
More people need to watch this. Twas beautiful
The feeling when I watch this video(and your others vids):
Just amazing.
Me : watching this video
Also me : has his exams scheduled in exactly 1 week from now
Continue working hard! In one week from now, you'll see it pays off ⭐️💪💪💪
I love this video! important topic
I was going to watch this whole video but just didn't have enough time...
Increible... amazing.
estos videos son tan maravillosos amigo.. sabes tantos lenguajes.. y eso me motiva a lograr lo mismo brother, me parece increible.. también poder practicar mi ingles con tus videos.. que pongas los subtitulos.. y wow... gracias por el video, la motivación.. y ayudarme en mi ingles.
I can just tell you that I wish I had enjoyed my hairs when I still had them ... Anyway great video and great thoughts, you seem to be a very nice human been man. Saluti e buona fortuna

"There's no getting there. We are already there."
That hit me hard.
I had to listen to that part a couple times. It's so good.
Dude dude dude.
I love that one
I was about to write the same thing
"there's no getting there, we're already there" that's it right there man! great video
Blanks! I didn't expect you here, nice!
Me waking up every Sunday morning: ok, now let's get a cup of coffee and watch Nathan's video.
Victor Hausen wait is it actually every Sunday morning I just realized lmao ty for a new ritual idea

That seems peaceful :)
"Productivity is a distraction to an even bigger question" Wow...

The camera work: absolutely beautiful
The commentary: absolutely insightful
Only a Sith deals in absolutes
Life isn’t short, it’s long.
Only when we zone out, check out from reality , we feel that the time flies by. Because we don’t have any memorable moments.
That's true! That's why for kids time goes MUCH SLOWER. Because they learn a lot more throughout the day, than elder people do)
It is humane to slip up from time to time.
Just make sure to not be consumed by chase.

🙄... what are you gonna do with the memories...?
@@zurima2012 you lived them, that's enough. It's not about doing something with it afterwards, it's about living them in the present.
That's what "making memories" is about, living them for the sake of living, not for keeping them somewhere else for later use.

That’s what I said, just live for now!
Meditate! Live for the moment
When you say memories that implies dwelling on the past 🙄. .

can you recommend some books about seneca?
@@ilhamburger8288 first read something on the internet about him, just to gain general knowledge on his philosophy. Then, find a simplified version of his "Moral Letters to Lucilius"

"There's no getting there. We're already there."
wow....
*thats like the most important question of my life:*
*"what is all this productivity even for?"*
Bjorn Callewaert Like self growth?
Its about social acceptance and fitting in because if you sit around and do nothing in a rich country everyone will hate you and you have no friends. So you have to deal with either constant stress or social isolation and loneliness. Yet most people feel a lot of both.
Kiss two Gays what are you even saying ? I’m sorry I didn’t get it. You’re saying fitting in is wasting your time?

Water Under yes
This is such high quality content, in every way imaginable.
couldn’t agree more
Right? So glad I stumbled upon his channel recently. Everything about it is gold
I think so, too. Beautiful work.
I couldn't agree more bro
"It's amazing how we fill our lives almost to the brim with every possible distraction, every possible way of forgetting, ignoring and running from the present moment, I'm doing my best to remind myself not to sprint all the time because what's the rush this is life that is happening right now, there's no getting there, we're already there. " The narration is gold, thank you Nathaniel for this, it feels like for me your videos is part of my mental health being, thanks man! Kudos to you! 你很棒！
Isn’t it funny, every decision we’ve ever made has led us to this moment. I want you to think about that.

whoa, this is wild. Thinking back, I was telling myself how much I want to be where i am now and now i am thinking where i want to be. crazy.
Louis Tanada u don’t make sense
Real Truths thank you
The main point that I get from this video:
" There's no getting there, we're already there"
Yessss!!! It is here NOW
this shows how important a good ending is
A book I read recently had a neat little quote that was along the lines of, "If I am to live twenty more years, I will try to live enjoying each moment, instead of killing myself for more."
"There's no getting there; we're already there"
My brain: *stops functioning*
"This is life that is happening right now. There's no getting there... we're already there." That's deep.
Fantastic message Nathaniel. Your videos are getting more inspirational with each piece you put out! I feel like I am watching a mini documentary everytime I see a video from you. Keep up the great work and keep on the right path! ❤️
Being both an INFJ and Highly sensitive person, I really can feel those behind the scene thoughts of yours. I'm in my final year of undsrgrad, and for last 1 year, my intuitions are screaming to tell me, I'm in a wrong movie, I'm heading towards wrong direction. But the family and society expectations are so much and everything is so fast speed, that now pausing for a moment to check whether I'm on right path or not, or which direction I should go, this pausing is felte like I'm less capable. Slow living, or experiencing, learning from the mistakes these don't exist anymore. Careers and paths are more fixed than pre destiny. I'm getting physically and mentally sick out of it.
“Death is the great equalizer... did I at least enjoy any of those books?”
hot take: productivity is important, but there are times where you do not need to be productive
We love a creator who stays humble & admits they don’t have answers
We are so lucky to have this kind of quality content for free
these are the days
I started decluttering stuff in my home and my appointments a couple of years ago. Then I realized that the hardest part is facing that free time and myself without distractions or occupations. I'm on that stage now. I think this is the real start of the real self-improvement.
Don't say you don't have enough time you have the same hours as hellen keller albert Einstein mother Teresa etc....
Time wasters, Cause: mobile, day dreaming, screen time, arguing with people, commuting, waiting , excess work, planning future, dwelling in past
did you just describe my adhd? :o
“Time wasters” is purely subjective, unless you define what your goal is. Planning for the future makes sense if it helps attain your goals, commuting can be positive if you get work done on a train or listen to podcasts and only commute because it saves you thousands of dollars due to a cheaper home, arguing with people can, if done correctly, allow you to gain information about a subject you wouldn’t normally be exposed to.
It really depends what you want.
I live in Italy, I studied latin and ancient greek for about five years in my highschool and I always hear people saying that studying those subjects is useless. I really appreciated the fact that you have actually understood them and you put what they said in your life: in facts it’s not that common! I see some of my schoolmates leaving Seneca’s ideas on their literature books, instead of reacting to his statements like you did. So I really appreciated your reaction: you have just given them back their worth.
Every upload comes at just the right time... makes you realise how we’re all in this together. Loved the way you approached this artistically, I can tell you’ve been putting effort into improving quality!
Adopting the NOW mentality is the key to making time. “I’ll do it tomorrow” is one of the worst things you could say.
Watch this 😁

So true indeed 😅😅

"there is no getting there, we are already there"
I am amazed by this sentence, thank you Nathaniel
It’s so interesting how his constant struggle to slow down and be imperfect is inspiring his perfect videos.
I'm wondering if you ever tried to write an "inverted life plan"? That is to start with the last years of your life and writing the plan from there. The reason to do so is that if you start with the present or just plan for the next 5 years or less it'll oftentimes be contradictory to long term goals. Starting with the broad strokes of your retirement, forces you to stay logically consistent. If you write something like "I want to have above average pension with 3 children, a significant other, a house to live in a certain type of plesant location, and a reputation I can live with" this has implications for what you need to be doing in the working years to be able to realistically afford that.
Then you write those parts. They will have other implications for the even younger years.
Until you reach this year.
Wether you follow such a plan or not it stimulates the mind to write it.
Pretty good idea, something I will have my wife and I do in the coming weeks.
"Il dolce far niente", as they say in Italian, is becoming a lost art. I encourage you to visit small Italian villages and spend time with the locals, I'm sure you can find someone who still enjoys and cherishes taking things slow and the small pleasures in life here somewhere. I am very grateful to have been born and brought up in such a place, sometimes it is the most banal and simple things that we tend to overlook and forget as we strive for success in the madly accelerated way of living of our times. Greetings from a small village near Florence!
Ciao! I've always been fascinated with rural and countryside Italy since I can remember! It's one of the most beautiful villages and sceneries on Earth! Where are you from, bella? (Pardon my poor Italian)
Studying in Piacenza right now. Sometimes I say there’s nothing to do here. Then I realize that spending time with friends at restaurants, bars, etc. IS the thing to do because it’s so important.
Damn dude, your filmmaking is on point. Every single video you seem to improve. You inspire me to step outside of my comfort zone and become more productive. I have even started experimenting with TH-cam videos about personal finance as a way to educate myself. Keep doing what you are doing, thank you!
Another skilfully made video. Thank you
“There’s no getting there. We’re already there”.
This is something I’ve also discovered a lot lately. I keep thinking that there’s some “point” I’ll get to and then I’ll be successful. A certain award. Acclaim from a certain person. A certain number of people who look up to me. But just thinking about how I’ve already achieved what I didn’t think possible a year ago in my personal and professional goals and growth and yet still I think I’m not “there yet” has made me reflect a lot and realize that I never will be there because there is no point to get to. Just the present moment, with the person inside of me who more or less will never change and I need to learn how to be satisfied with and love.
This guy sounds like the Ted-ed narrator : O
Man, you really inspire me. Every single time I waste my time doing things that honestly ruin my life I see one of your videos and then I get back to realization about genuine things in life. Thank you for this, dude. Even if you never notice this comment I wanna thank for all of it.
Just wanted to say, at this point, i look forward to your videos...which i cannot say for very many creators. As a creator myself, I appreciate the amount of time and work and thought that goes into each one of these. Keep thinking and creating, Nathan.
Btw, glad you switched to the XT3...i love the look of it.
And now that I've finished this video, brilliant. I'd love to hang out and create something one day.
"There's no getting there, we're already there." is a succinct and poignant line!
I like all the references to Stoic philosophers.
This is one of the best videos I've seen you do so far... well for me anyway. I am constantly thinking ahead and struggle with being present. When I stop to be present I think about the past and all the people I miss spending time with that are either dead or no longer in my life by choice. It's a painful part about life, that is letting go of the past, remembering the good, and being present and enjoying what is around you. Thank you again for sharing this video. It really moved me.
"There is no getting there. We are already there." Eloquently put, my friend.
I loved this. Usually I get stressed out thinking I’m not doing enough and it’s nice to hear that taking a moment for myself is ok.
Just watched the whole video twice and still feel like I missed out on something. It was so beautifully shot and written , so thoughtful of you. Great message. Love from India🇮🇳
I usually never comment, but you brought a lot of value to me at the right moment. Thank you very much, from the bottom of my heart 🙏🏾
I told my mom the other day, "I cant' wait to graduate college so I can finally start my life," and she turned around, looked at me and said, "you're already living it. Enjoy it now." I was like damn... she's right. It is so hard living in the present and that's something that I have to remind myself to do every day.
You seem to have a very definite talent to inspire people. You will find your destiny if you keep up the constant questioning. Very inspiring to see a young guy not following the crowd or chasing useless people or wasting himself. Keep up the good work.
Two years ago, while my friend visited me in college, she said to me, "You know, you're really busy, but what are you really doing with your time?" I remember feeling defensive at first because I knew what she said was true. I had to take a step back and ask myself, "Why are you so busy?" I realized the busier I seemed, the more likely I will be viewed as successful or involved. The reality was that I was busy, but not productive. I was doing something for the sake of doing it. Since then, I do my best to hone in on my intentions.
Nathaniel, since you have experience traveling, how does this need to be busy present itself in different cultures (or maybe it doesn't). Would love to hear about it!
Story of most of my friends, we were in same school school scoring almost same grades still they were always busy n I always had time for everyone
So agree with you ! Thanks for the amazing contents, please share a bit about your experience as a traveler :)
In my eyes there's really only two types of lost people ... The one's who never find their grind/passion and the ones who get lost in it.
"I'm doing my best to remind myself not to sprint all the time, because what's the rush."
Tim, I know right 👍.
Aka “Enjoy the Journey!” ☺️🌏❤️
What a thought provoking video. Thank you for inspiring me to improve my own videos. I want to help people become the person they want to be by controling their habits.
When he said “the anxiety bubbling up in my chest” I really felt _myself_ getting anxious! Thank you for this video, I think we all really needed to hear this message.
"Everyone aims to work harder, do more, achieve more. *what is all this productivity even for?* " That is one question I was pondering for quite a while. You tackled it beautifully. This video is a masterpiece.
For less pay then what we are worth
I didn’t realize I wasn’t living in the moment until this video opened my eyes.
Recently, I've been trying to remember that even upto now, we are evolving as humans and we hear this all the time but we forget. The way we live, treat each other, our environments, everything. So instead of trying to control, we just really have to flow with it but with mindfulness of where things might go. Everytime I get lost at work or a task, I do my best to ask myself "What am I trying to accomplish here again?". It helps.
I read "an article" on Quora where the question was "What is the one thing Americans are worried about? " and the "answer" was "Not being productive enough." How we're all so obsessed with scheduling, and doing the most amount of things as possible, as quickly as possible, instead of valuing each task at a time or focusing on one thing at a time to the point of mastery. We want to "do it all."
I think that was the most amount of quotation marks I've ever used in a comment.
"This is life - happening right now. There is no getting there, we're already there"
Beautiful💛
Such an insane video, but in my opinion a little bit slow. Maybe I just haven’t watched it at the right time. Still an insane video
This video has some of the most beautiful cinematography I've ever seen. Amazing Nathaniel. Also, I was surprised to see Bernardo, I've watched some of his videos (I'm in the same University as he was, from India).
That addiction to productivity is sooo relateable for me. ..and I'm feeling a little anxious now overthinking the sense of all of this.. anyway great video! :)
Dude I feel like we're going through such a similar journey right now. Really appreciating your insights
Major Call Me By Your Name vibes in that Italian village
"This is life that is happening right now, there is no getting there, we are already there.".
That one got me. I realize that my happiest moments aren't based on holidays, time off, material, they come when I just appreciate what I already am, what I already have, people in my life, giving my self some time to really think and enjoy the process of life. Whether I am at work helping costumers with their shoes, at my other job tutoring and helping children out, If I'm studying for my classes or just working out. Of course, we all want to be "somewhere" we aren't, it doesn't mean we can't appreciate where we are now. Just makes the process that much easier... that much more enjoyable.
"There's not getting there. We are already there." That hit me in a way I was not expecting. Such a powerful statement.
"I wish I could be on that island"
Yes theory : "We snuck aboard the abandoned Island"
That's what I love about Nathan's videos, it's always right on time. Your content never ceases to amaze me, keep it up.
hope this doesnt sound too weird Nathaniel! But I've seen you put your laptop on your lap in a few videos, just be careful as its pretty bad for you radiation wise. google it for a bit more info
This video was absolutely beautiful to watch! The cinematography was so captivating, especially at 1:52 I was just like "woahh" haha
The time and effort you out into your content does not go unnoticed! This is amazing.
