Let's goooo
You raise an interesting point regarding giving yourself less time to do something. I'm still trying to figure out the method that works for me. It's hard finding the balance between quality and quantity. Personally I'm taking my time with videos now because when I uploaded videos once every three days, although my views went up my watch time didn't. So I figured unless your videos improve with every upload then uploading more isn't better. This is really a really interesting idea to dive into though.
Sneak0, Matt Davella and Better ideas take their time with uploads. Like they're in no rush. And it works for them. While you and Cole are able to produce maybe two high quality videos in just one week.
Makes me think about Slow twitch vs fast twitch muscles fibers. Khabib vs Mcgregor.
I totally understand your situation. I believe that you just must give yourself more goals . When you do minor maintenance task your brain is actually working as your body and they become stronger . They make you sharper . More then you relaxing .
@@thebibleisinfallible2336 I feel you. It's kinda like exercise. You don't don't want to do too much or too little.
I think i got too used to you holding me at night. Ever since then, I can't get a full nights sleep without watching one of your videos right before bed
I relate. I've been using tranquilizers.
@@CaptainSinbad Hey Nick Hill. Just checking Are you self employed now?? Didn't quite get the message yet 😂😂😂
@@markwalkingmachine4298 it's Nikhil man, Nikhil
@@tsv555 I know that..it's a name he said he kept getting called or how people would say his.name for years. If he reads this he will get the joke.
Did you guys spoon

Fancy seeing you here, just saw you over on the Cialdini interview
Also seen on Mark Tilbury’s video
Idk man
Is this from “Meditations”?
@@johnachomuma4434 yup!
The fact that he mentioned Cole Hastings and didn't steal from him blatantly is why I love Sinbad
To stop hating myself, I had to forgive myself for past mistakes. This is an ongoing process and one that proves to be one of the most difficult things a person can do.
Yes, self love and forgiviness are very important for mental peace and growth ✌️
That's very true
"Someone telling us what to do" is such a under rated item
Many of us might hate when someone is telling what to do.
But when we are trying to do something by ourselves is such a huge roadblock to kickstart WORK
...
Now that Nikhil is a full-time self-employed TH-camr, he deserves a promotion from Captain Sinbad to Commodore Sinbad (to use the rank system of the Indian Navy).
It's funny when we work on something we are passionate about, we will hold ourselves to much higher standards than any boss ever could.
I found this within myself recently. When I found hobby I was truly passionate about it motivated me to be productive in my work. Because I could finish my work well and be able to move onto my hobby :D)
One of the issues working with yourself is that you're searching for the "most high-leverage activity" and sometimes you fall into just not doing anything.
Still haven't figured it out completely. But I hired a coach to help me with it. So now I have a "boss" but I have to pay them thousands of dollars per month instead of getting a paycheck.
Still though, it's been helpful having someone who's done what I'm trying to do who can say "these are the important tasks for the week"
this is so true!!!!
OMG! Happens so MUCH! I think it's because I am a newbie at applying this concept (you know, when you learn a new concept and immediately want to apply it, but you don't yet understand the extent to which you could be applying it).
The maintenance day part hit the hardest for me, for where I'm currently at in life. When you're in the middle of doing all these scheduled creative works (or would be wanting to do them), they can feel like a chore and an absolute pain, but not doing them can result in just feeling awful and, should I say, unclean.
I remember Peter McKinnon talking about it a couple of years ago, he mentioned in a podcast that - "He was the worst boss."
Meaning: More often than not, we are actually the person who treat ourselves in the worst way possible. And we think external reasons are the ones that are responsible for it. But our poor brain fails to realise that it is we ourselves who are actually responsible for it.
Was this his interview on Sara Dietschy’s podcast from 2018? I just listened to it recently for the first time and it was such a great episode!
@@joshmoxey. yes sir
@@DeerghKataria my guy 🤝🏻
Starting off with an easy version of the task is so important. Same reason why athletes warm up, for peak performance
Maintenance days are great when you just don't feel like being creative. Do some laundry, clean up a bit, hit the park for a run, see a friend and get a good night's sleep. Always helps me bounce back to work the next day. Being self employed is a freedom most people will never experience, so don't discount all the newfound freedom you have to explore things. YOU'RE THE BOSS OF YOU! If you wanna cuddle Mr. Hastings, I say go for it.
Great to hear you enjoy maintenance days as well. I legit didn’t have the time for them before, but love them now.
You’re an artist dude, you’ve got this!
thanks bro!
Some really great points in here! I have the same issues, where not meeting these super high expectations I put on myself just devolves in me not getting anything done.
Keeping my expectations measured, and trying to find a work flow of easy and less important tasks and more focused important tasks has helped. Still figuring it all out though!
Another great video man!
Damn man, I can't believe how good your timing is right now. For the past few weeks I have been having this existential dread that has now led to so much complicated emotions. Today, I didn't know that I had the capacity to think awful thoughts and ideas which says a lot considering its my BIRTHDAY. I feel so depressed right now and watching your video and these small tidbits of advice is really helpfyul and motivating.
Thanks Cap, your videos are alway so good and they always come when I need it the most ! Cheers and gudluck to your journey now that you're self-employed
This is all generally good advice for grad school as well. People tend to think you're still in school, but the reality is you're more like a freelance writer. Learning which parts of the day are best for writing are crucial.
*This is what I pay my internet bills for*
It's a little sad that it's pretty much the normal to have to do a bunch of things to not sink into hating yourself and be able to relax, I was stuck in it too but I did escape it eventually and I'm glad I was able to.
Escaped the doing of things to not hate yourself? Or escaped hating yourself by consistently doing the things?
@@mikeprice11 The first one.
It's just so rad to see your editing skills, the way you present your message and the confidence that you grew over the years. All the effort you've put in already shows and soon the 1 million subs will grace your account while we can be a part of your evolution. I'm so happy i found your channel early on and i'm keen to see where this journey will take all of us
Love the Rock Lee (Naruto for the nerds who don't know lol) reference!
It's funny how timely this video is. For someone who was in the military where you're told how to do almost everything. I noticed as a civilian how hard it is to keep yourself disciplined. The plight of choice is what gets me, I often want to achieve all things at once. But in the process of choosing that eventually leads to me not doing anything at all. Paralyzed by choice in a sense. There is a level of comfortability of working under someone, which isn't necessarily wrong. One just has to choose to be okay with the responsibility of choices, as you put it, sitting on their shoulders!
I heard a music producer say that creative people find art in the conflict (often with society). Great art comes from restriction. So it’s harder to create when you’re not restricted as much by time
How could you hate that good-looking face?
Interesting! I agree with you that it's nice to get a "quick win" in before you get stuck into the Frog for the day. I cannot just dive in and get straight into flow.
I call those tasks "maintenance" as well! I could probably batch some of them together on one day but I think for me it works better to spend a couple of hours on each day of the week doing those tasks. Thanks, Nikhil. You keep me on my toes. Hang in there, you'll get into the new rhythm of your days soon enough, although your comments are 100% valid about doing what people tell you. There's quite a lot of "busy work" when you work for someone else who directs you.
Thank you for this video man. You’ve inspired me to start my own channel. I’ve got my equipment ready and I’m working on my first script. I’m excited to share it with you. Love from Namibia. Big fan.
Love your content bro! Love the increased content
Just the man I needed to start the day 👏🏼
That feeling of comfort that comes from not having to dictate a task but also feeling the satisfaction that you completed it I 100% agree with.
Dude, your videos hit so close to home. I'm excited to watch and listen to more of what you have to say.
Truly greatful for the amount of videos recently, greatness is coming.
Imagine what it would be like, sitting across a table and talking to him or being his friend when he just elevates your focus and energy via a youtube vidoe!! wowww Nikhil!!!
1. Biological Prime Time (keep night time for entertainment only as I find that I work better in the day)
2. Do More in Less Time (by creating urgency it allows me to get over the slump and get started on work)
3. Maintenance (haircut, shave, cleaning desk, bedroom or even sorting out computer files)
Being your own boss is nowhere near as easy as everyone thinks it will be
1) The typing test to reduce writer's block is such a good tip I need to try that, 2) Have you considered hiring a VA yet? I have mine read my tasks in the morning and evening. It's like having a boss!
Hey man! I just found your outstanding channel! Looking forward to accompanying you on your way to greatness 🤙
Great timing, appreciate this very much. Thank you.
Super relatable! No one talks about the discomfort of working for yourself. Life is so much easier when someone tells you what to do and you know that at the end of the day you at least got paid.
1. Use biological primetime (eat that frog)
2. Give yourself less time
3. Maintanance days
Freedom is a privilege and a burden. Interesting to see how your managing your newfound freedom and responsibilities and working smarter, not harder
Thank you, captain. This was a breathe of fresh air. You understand the subtle emotional effects, that makes a big difference. Please continue the good work.
Thanks for the pieces of advice.
Definitely agree with the idea of maintenance days! Love the video man!
Being self-critical is known to unleash the best out of us, so definitely you are on the right path. Thank you Nikhil for this video.
Great to watch you talk about how you tackle some menial tasks like maintenance/chores in your videos and I hope I can adopt that. Cheers!
When you are the student and the senpai, you become a sad Ouroboros.
Also you miss out on the "notice me senpai" relationship dynamic, really tragic stuff right there.
after a really tough week, it was great to watch this video. You're really inspiring to me, you have been for a long time. Thank you Nikhil, from the bottom of my heart.
Amazing video man much needed I've been inconsistent on my channel because of this issue hope I'll improve.✌️🥂
Good job working so long into your YT career bro! Proud of you
Captain the content has been sooo good lately. Also the Hoodie is a look!
12:56 Keep this as your background image of the youtube profile, looks very catchy and good! Because of my board exams, I am not able to watch you very much, your content is really impressive. Keep it up dude!
At this point, I now recognize almost all the old clips in your videos and when were they first uploaded. And the ones you shot for this video I'll remember it for when you use them in any new video. I don't know why I watch your videos with such concentration.
Your videos genuinely improve my quality of life. Thanks man love you🙏
Just saw your 12 week rule video and this is the perfect follow up. Ive been running in place, as it were, for a long time and honestly I have all these ideas on becoming a more actualized me that they're pulling me in 1,000 different directions at once. I'm still processing which ones I will choose to take and its not easy at all. I'm still trying to figure out what I'm going to do. Maybe I need to start writing this down?
Shit as a Podcaster and professional procrastinator I often deal with this shit. Thanks bro, really needed that
wow . you are so inspiring for my cinema journey and great productive person to motivate my life
Very applicable to all of our lives, well done Cap’n
you’re looking healthier man! stay on that fitness grind, im feeling that 2018 energy 🔥
I loved this video as I agree with all the points.
Being your own boss requires discipline, it's great to hear your retrospective views being shared with others! I often try to reflect in the same way, it's part of my continuous improvement goal, and it's something I think everyone can find beneficial. Great job!
What was your job btw before going full-time with TH-cam?
Dude you speak so much truth in this. It was so accurate.
This type of videos of you gives us motivation confidence and tips to fight with discomfort laziness and procrastination.
I find that if I feel like I am struggling to get motivated to be productive that the best way to break out of that is to do something small that's still productive but super easy to do. Like I will make the bed, wipe down the kitchen, or just spend a few minutes free writing in my journal. Once I have started moving it's becomes much easier to keep that momentum going until I check everything off my to-do list for the day.
As they say, freedom is like mountain air, not everyone can handle it.
I, too, quit my day job not a short time ago. Still trying to figure out what's what. Not giving up tho :))
Keep up the good work, you're helping a lot of people, including me ♥️
Greatness is coming ^^
@@thekiwiigrower5932 you do realise you're straling his identity and that is a crime, right? ;)
Thanks for being such a huge source of inspiration for me. Means a lot; this video helped a lot.
this is a great video, I 100% agree limiting your time has been of a huge benefit.
Amazing video. Very well edited and looks professional.
Your content is awesome Captain..
Keep it up !! 👏 👏 👏 👏
Love the consistency man
Oh wow i got a heart
This type of content helps me allow myself to study more effectively. Thanks :)
ur insights are very helpful thank u. keep it up
This was very insightful and I feel it will really help me with my problems with productivity
I like how to not hate yourself you almost gotta be a perfect person
I see you are on the grind to be coming 'Major Sinbad' good video man
I needed to hear this today
Im loving the uptick in videosss
Always a good video from you Captain Sinbad
love the maintenance day! i've been doing this for a long time but i've always done mine daily each morning after breakfast for 15-30 minutes
Great video dude. It’s amazing how much your videos have improved over the past couple of years - all of the work, decisions and investments are really paying off! Technical creative question: how do you store and organize your b-roll? And how much do you shoot exclusively for a video vs. reuse from past videos? Thanks in advance brother :)
I put them on an external harddrive and save by video name. 3 hours of new b-roll per person
@@CaptainSinbad Respect. That's impressive. It now makes so much sense how you've been able to build up to the crazy amounts of high-quality footage you have in your videos now! Thanks so much Nikhil
, I'll get started on building my own personal directory 👍🏻
sinbad taking his videos to the NEXT LEVEL with these past few drops
Great video like always! Just a heads up, I think you might've forgotten to put the website you mentioned at 5:00 in the description. Other than that, some great advice in this video, thank you.
Thanks for the tip-off!
Taking some time right now only doing TH-cam, big ups for this video :) !
Its been month since I came across your channel and the way you relate and resonate with your audience with the way you present your videos inspires me to make videos like that on my channel which is 0 now but I have a plan to grow it in the next 5-10 years. As always awesome video Nikhil.
Another Rock Lee fan, Respect.
Great stuff Nikhill
That Rock Lee cutaway was premium!
One thing I have to do is not add a sleuth of videos to my "watch later" playlist and just watch them!
Having that said, this is a great video that was well worth the watch! Greatness will come after you choose to carry that weight, space cowboy...
You're so good that I watch complete ads on your channel 🤣♥️♥️
"Obstacles in my way" in the calendar - I see the Captain is living the Stoic Emperor life 🌍
starting the morning with this video>>
This year's gonna be your year, lad.
don't ever stop making videos bro,I love you a lot
@@thekiwiigrower5932 nice try,real captain Sinbad are you seeing this?there are scammers with your name
I love number 1. Recently I’ve been noticing my frequency patterns when I’m up and down it’s true everyone study yourself it’s important
I like the editing style. Music really gives a different vibe that really says - this is captain sinbad's video
You’re training like Michael B. Jordan? Omg can’t wait!
Man…. Feeling the same way as you, Capt! Being your own boss is weird 🥲😂😅 wonderfully weird.
Create something like this..i love it❤
Oh sinbad great video btw.
I noticed you use a macbook 16 inch, would you recommend it?
It’s great
I just binged eat my worst yet. Just skipped work and mindlessly ate food. Like drove to multiple fast foods and feel like shit. I was doing so good and messed up my diet and schedule. I really needed this, thank you.
Gotta get on top of it
With those boxing clips, how come it feels like Sinbad is training for the next TH-camr Boxing event
Sinbad vs D'avella??? ... money is on Sinbad 💰💰💰
thank you
Two minutes into this video and I told my self that I have to subscribe;only to realize that I had already subscribed - wow!
