I wanted to acknowledge that I have an extreme privilege to quit my job, and I don't mean to be insensitive to anyone struggling right now. I've worked hard for the last 15 years- diligently saving, diversifying income, and keeping expenses to a minimum. This has afforded me the opportunity to pause and take a short break while I figure things out. A privilege I am extremely grateful for. Thanks, everyone for the outpouring of support! 🙏 I appreciate you all. Don't forget to check out the description, I'll be updating it with links and resources based on the questions you've asked me here in the comments. ☕️
This was an awesome video. Very well done. I’m sad to see you leave the Futur, but so stoked for you on your next steps forward. Oh and if you are ever looking for another guardian for your fireteam let me know. 👍
Hey Matthew, you're such an inspiration. Last year I did exactly the same thing - quit my job when I realised I wasn't growing anymore. I decided to give myself the time I needed to figure out what I wanted to do. This changed when the pandemic hit. I started working again as many people were losing their jobs and I became fearful that it was not the right time to take a break not knowing where the world was going and if jobs would be available during this unknown amount of time. Those 2 months were the happiest I had been in years, I was able to do similar things (DIY, woodworking, self improvement and doing things I had been putting off due to working all the time) and I thoroughly enjoyed it. If it could be done again, I would allow myself more time before jumping back into work. That time was invaluable.
Melissa... this sentence "doing things I had been putting off due to working all the time" hits deep. I have done the same on my last two jobs; left when I didn't feel fully comfortable or I wanted another challenge. I have always ALWAYS taken time in-between to breath, do things I couldn't do, travel and it is very odd to realize... work often gets in front of other important or valuable things. Whether we enjoy our work or not, it always feels like we work too much to also breath on the side. Those time spent jobless, but fulfilled are a blessing and a privilege depending on your job market (as you mentioned with the pandemic). Wishing you to have this time at some point again and if not, to manage to carve out important OFF/YOU time during work "season".
@@mickaelsflow6774 Hey Mickaël that's a very good point and something I am striving for now. Thank you for the words of affirmation, I will definitely take a leaf out your book and think of this going forward. You're absolutely right, work does get in the way - if we allow it to. The long hours were definitely not worth it in the long run. While we all need to earn our living we also need to stop and smell the roses and realise that sometimes it's okay to take a step back and simply exist and enjoy life.
You just proved this statement "Quitting a job doesn't mean sitting jobless". You're still productive.... and always a source of motivation and inspiration for me. You are one of my role model....
@@MatthewEncina Building A Brand is far and away my favorite thing that I've worked on, and you were the best person to lead that project. I'm still very proud of it.
I am writing this before watching the video. I am so happy for you Matthew! I think you have SOOOO much to share, offer and grow now that you are on your own! Wish you lots of success!
@@MatthewEncina I am not saying anything bad about The Futur. (I still watch them) I think that for the past year-or-two it was not the best environment for you personally to grow and show what you are capable of. You have this amazing ability to tell a story in a cinematic way with few words. You have this calm yet authoritative presence. I usually watch youtube videos on 1.5x speed because I want to cut through a lot of the bs out there but your videos I enjoy the way they are meant to be and they manage to lower my heart rate and make me relax and wind down a bit. I was surprised that the video was only 5:53 long, I thought it was 30 minutes (in a good way) I am currently dealing with so many things I need to learn and start and progress in a creative way that sometimes I feel so overwhelmed and at the same time frustrated that I am not making any progress... If you ever feel like making content and using people like me as an example or as a test subject, please tell me how I can be useful to you :) Thanks for your videos and for the free SkillShare membership! :)
Congrats on your promotion to freedom! Love the way you start your day - I find when I start my days in a similar fashion to you (either journaling or meditating) it definitely helps set the right tone for the rest of the day. Love the peace and calm you have in your home!
I’m here since you have only 2 videos the starting of this channel, I appreciate your content its far away and keeps improving. I love your content I learn a lot, after of years in my career I found out it was happy to be balance than career only thanks to your video your a day in the life I was inspired how I organize my day, goodluck to your career there will be plenty of opportunity that waiting for you. 👊🏻
This video is amazing. From the production quality to the abundance of information given in a concise and humane way, there’s so much knowledge to gain in a short 5 minutes and 54 seconds. Also - the note about finding a form of creative expression that has nothing to do with your daily work is exactly what I discovered recently! Well done and well said!
Tim, I've been loving all of the Clubhouse rooms you've been in. I hope we can exchange more thoughts on there in the future, cause I really resonate with your position and stories.
Hey Matthew! Good for you for making that change, as hard as it is. It's really admirable when people know when to "not". Hope your days, no matter how mundane (sometimes those are the best of days), are fruitful and I look forward to watching what happens next.
Just wanted to let you know you have really inspired me to become more intentional with my time. The video that set it off talked about taking breaks between focused work sprints to recharge. Then your recommendation about notion has been a game changer for me. I run three businesses and am constantly forgetting things and not prioritizing the right things. By changing habits and using better tools I have been able to live a better quality of work life. Thanks so much!
As a creative, it’s definitely nice to see a cultivation of self-awareness and kind self-care. It’s very refreshing in contrast with the hustle culture present in many work environments. Also, the fact that I organize my day in a similar fashion to yours even months after quitting my job feels reassuring. High five on that!
Sometimes, the algorithm is just so perfect. I found you in a time where I needed to look on a different perspective. I am binging your videos now and will be following with your content. Thanks for this.
I love this. I hope this is the first of an exploration of the process of change for you. How valuable and fun it would be to learn how you decide on “what’s next”
I'm truly grateful on the lessons and values you shared with us while you were at The Futur. It was a long and beautiful ride, which we would definitely miss. Needless to say, I'm excited and curious to see where this growth journey will take you! Keep killin it man
Damnnnn, this is going to be interesting. Really looking forward to watching what you do next Matthew. You’ve been really integral to my journey as a creative and I really appreciate the advice, guidance and insights you’ve shared for absolutely free over the years! Keep being you!
Best of luck onto this next chapter! Been a follower since your days at The Futur and your content has honestly played a role in my creative lead career. Looking forward to seeing your future content ahead (maybe a tutorial on how to use those technics ha)
I have watched every video on your channel and will continue to watch them as they come out, I know quitting might be a scary thing but just know that a lot of people have your back.
You don't know me but you're welcome at the cookout anytime. You were always my favorite part of the futur content. Thanks for the years of consistency 💪🏽
Awesome to see you back Matthew, I look forward to seeing what you do next! P.s. Nathanial's class on intentional documentation is so good, it's really helped me and the wife reflect and have a bunch of memories to look back on!
So inspirational bro!!!⚡⚡ Even you are in consistent I always wait for your upload This was such a badass video with so many good visuals and an awesome story line I always love your work and I admire em!! Keep killing it bro!❤️ ⚡⚡🔥🔥
Bro, this is goals. I've been watching you for a while with the Futur, little emotional hearing you leave. But, I hope to be in a place someday that I can take a step back and be intentional about where next steps in life will go. Super proud of you!
Been following you from the futur and love your tips and tutorials. I recently got into design and really love your process! Wishing you the best of luck and hope you continue to share your awesome knowledge!
I'm so happy for you Matthew! It really seems like you're taking everything in and enjoying yourself. I came in expecting to hear you working on big new projects. Instead, hearing about how you're spending a lot of time on yourself and the things that make you happy. All of this makes for even better news than the "next big thing". I hope to see you soon post-pandemic to catch up over some food and drinks!
Thank you, Matthew, for producing a more positive "betterment" focused life perspective. Often, we get stuck in the need to maintain the status quo because of social norms. You have inspired me to take the leap into TH-cam, something I have thought about and put off for years. Cheers man, I appreciate your elegant and thorough content. Keep up the great work!
Your journey never ends. Life has a way of changing things in incredible ways. - Alexander Volkov You are my most favourite member in the futur, i watched all the videos in building a brand series. Your works have been phenomenal (xbox, musical video...). I am happy that you are taking break, unlearning and relearning and i am excited to see what you become.
Do y'all remember when matthew break dance for the fans when it was the 100k subscribers celebration?!! Man that was epic! You'll definitely be missed on the futur. Thank you for everything matthew🙏
Congratulations Matthew wish you all the very best for your journey ahead. This is very inspirational. Love the way you put so much hardwork in every thing you do!!
aye when crossplay rolls around i'd love to play some d2 with you! followed the futur a lot back when i worked as a designer, and it was very influential on how i approached things. been really loving this new content from you!
☕️☕️☕️ Good luck Matthew! Job market is still really tough from the pandemic but I hope you are taking time to relax and recharge for whatever is next for you. ☕️☕️☕️
Wow! What a brave and personal thing to do! I applaud you for having the courage and the discipline to write, direct, and produce your own life on your own terms! 🙌
Every video you put out is quality. I can genuinely say your channel has inspired me to add structure and organize my life. I hope this means you'll have time to make more videos for us 🙏🏽
Matthew thanks for sharing your days post Futur with us. I’ve been where you are and there is no feeling like returning to yourself the time you need to adjust to a whole new world of possibilities. I see too that like me you are a fan of Blackwing pencils! I’m excited to see what you do next.
Man, it's gonna be weird not seeing you in Futur and Futur Academy Videos. Just wanted to say that you inspired me to walk towards the creative career i always dreamed of and when i learned you were filipino too, you made it a more real and reachable. I'm still pretty early in my pursuit of being a graphic designer but i'm grateful with all the content and materials you and the futur team have shared with the world. It's been pretty scary to learn outside of college, but your vids and the futur's vid has been a great help. Looking forward to see what you'll share in this channel :). Keep up the good work sir!
As a young creative professional I am inspired with this bold step you have taken career wise, I love the courage and curiosity you have to learn and explore new avenues. Can’t wait for your next video, keep up the amazing and inspirational content you put out!🙏🏻
I am selfishly really excited to see more of your own content on here as you have more time freeing up! Keep it up, the mindset and the creative output Matthew!
When I first watched your video about belinda's DIY Art studio makeover, I got really inspired. I'm an inspiring artist from the Philippines. I'm really working hard right now to afford my own art materials to pursue my passion in arts. Your videos are really inspirational. More power to you and this channel, looking forward for new contents here in your channel!
Congrats on this new chapter in your life! 🎉 I know you worked hard to get to this place & I think it’s wonderful that you’re able to design the life that works best for you. Hope to see what’s up next soon! Enjoy!! 🙂
good luck on whatever life brings your way. Always love your videos as a sort of creative page refresh: a chance for me to sit back, watch someone work and gather my own thoughts and ideas. This one will be especially useful as I've been feeling unmotivated in the periods I'm not working at home. Your work is incredible and I know it'll continue to open fantastic paths in life for you
This video is the answer to a question I had for you, thanks for making it. I remember when I visited The Futur you told me "I still work here because I'm learning and growing, if this ever stops then it's time to make a change." that quote stayed with me ever since and it's great to see that you live by the advice you give. Have you thought about starting a gaming channel? Since you enjoy games it would be a good way to make your hobby something productive. (Not that you have to, everything doesn't need to turn into a job or monetization.)
Nathan, I'm glad that stuck with you, and that I am able to stick to my own words! Never thought of a gaming channel. Oddly enough, I like to focus when I game. (I like to win there too).
This is so relaxing to watch and inspiring at the same time, Kuya! I also found out that you also do breakin'! That's so cool! I'm also a graphics designer from PH and also a bboy before I got into the design career! Looking forward to watching more inspiring videos from you!
It's been an honour to learn so much about design from you on the futur! Hope you'll find a path that will help you grow and make you happy! All the best from an 18-year-old brand identity designer 😀
Welcome back! So excited to see you starting the next chapter of your life. Can’t wait to see the content it brings. It’s off to a great start already!

It's been pretty scary to learn outside of college, but your vids and the futur's vid has been a great help. Looking forward to see what you'll share in this channel :). Keep up the good work sir!
Thank you for the kind words. Enjoy your journey.
hell yeah dude! Best of luck in whatever your new adventure may be! Stoked to see what this brings to the channel!
Excited to discover myself.
You are quickly becoming my favorite content creator!
Thanks
these videos are so relaxing
i'mm currently going through a patch of uncertainty in my life but i find your videos to be really inspiring :)
As a young creative professional I am inspired with this bold step you have taken career wise, I love the courage and curiosity you have to learn and explore new avenues. Can’t wait for your next video, keep up the amazing and inspirational content you put out!🙏🏻
Thanks Damian
huge fan of the five minute journal!
So good
Keep it up Matthew. Stefan Sagmeister used to take a one year sabbatical every 7 years to recharge.
🙏
Thanks Matt! You have been an inspiration... especially from a person living on a small island from the Caribbean.
Really inspiring video. I strive to be this productive and structured.
✌🏽
Matthew good luck with all your next projects!
We are with you in everything’s that you want!.
Regards!
Thanks
I am selfishly really excited to see more of your own content on here as you have more time freeing up! Keep it up, the mindset and the creative output Matthew!
🍻
congratulations on making that big step! keep up the good work.

This like the most honest a day in the life video I've seen.
Your free soul gave me peace 😄 keep enjoying your free time that’s when great ideas hit 🤘🏽

When I first watched your video about belinda's DIY Art studio makeover, I got really inspired. I'm an inspiring artist from the Philippines. I'm really working hard right now to afford my own art materials to pursue my passion in arts. Your videos are really inspirational. More power to you and this channel, looking forward for new contents here in your channel!
🙏
Congrats on this new chapter in your life! 🎉 I know you worked hard to get to this place & I think it’s wonderful that you’re able to design the life that works best for you. Hope to see what’s up next soon! Enjoy!! 🙂
Thank you
Growth over anything. I think you made the right decision Matthew🙏💪
💪🏽
good luck on whatever life brings your way. Always love your videos as a sort of creative page refresh: a chance for me to sit back, watch someone work and gather my own thoughts and ideas. This one will be especially useful as I've been feeling unmotivated in the periods I'm not working at home.
Your work is incredible and I know it'll continue to open fantastic paths in life for you
This video is the answer to a question I had for you, thanks for making it. I remember when I visited The Futur you told me "I still work here because I'm learning and growing, if this ever stops then it's time to make a change." that quote stayed with me ever since and it's great to see that you live by the advice you give.
Have you thought about starting a gaming channel? Since you enjoy games it would be a good way to make your hobby something productive. (Not that you have to, everything doesn't need to turn into a job or monetization.)
Nathan, I'm glad that stuck with you, and that I am able to stick to my own words! Never thought of a gaming channel. Oddly enough, I like to focus when I game. (I like to win there too).
I really like the fact that you spend your evenings doing hobbies that have nothing to do with your job. That’s so important! Love your videos! 😄
It's pure joy! We don't always have to be "productive"
Finally the wait is over.. You inspire me a lot.. Really grateful for the work you share!!
Cheers
Just saw 2 videos and instantly i have a new favorite channel!
Thank you!
This is so relaxing to watch and inspiring at the same time, Kuya!
I also found out that you also do breakin'! That's so cool!
I'm also a graphics designer from PH and also a bboy before I got into the design career!
Looking forward to watching more inspiring videos from you!
Cheers
I always make time to watch all your vids in a calm environment. I find a lot of inspiration and decoration ideas from you. Great content always!
🙏
It's been an honour to learn so much about design from you on the futur! Hope you'll find a path that will help you grow and make you happy! All the best from an 18-year-old brand identity designer 😀
Cheers
Welcome back! So excited to see you starting the next chapter of your life. Can’t wait to see the content it brings. It’s off to a great start already!
Thanks!
