Retailers are exploding right now with their Black Friday sales I've been keeping you up to date a little bit over on my Instagram and my community tab It is so hard for me to keep on top of it But today we're gonna do Amazon because I know that you all love Amazon I love Amazon too, and it's so affordable so convenient So let's get into the products that I found that I think would make fantastic gifts for all kinds of people in your life Let's do it Hello, my friends and welcome in please keep in mind that we do have a numbering system when I'm talking about The different products that we're going to be talking about today one through however many we're gonna get to when I hold up A product there'll be a little number that comes right here in the corner You don't have to worry about what the name or or color or anything like that is of the product Just go down into the description box find your number there will be your product with the link you can shop that way I just find that it's a lot easier for people. Okay, we're gonna start out with number one We're gonna talk about what I have on this is such a pretty sweater. Okay. It's a medium weight sweater But it has this beautiful design on it, and I am in love with this sweater It's loose enough down around my tummy that I don't feel self-conscious about, you know My rolls and everything that are down there. Also. I like the sleeve on it. It's not, you know a cuff sleeve It's just loose. This one said it was light gray and to me It's a light purple, but it was the color that was on the screen, so I'm not sure why they called it light gray I also feel like this necklace that I have on would make a fantastic gift for anybody now This is an am my initial it has a little heart right here I'm gonna link another one that has a rose on it that I think is just as pretty But these are just their personal gifts and whoever you give them to is going to appreciate it because it's theirs And it's personalized to them, and I think it's just really cute and then also the earrings that I have on I always tell you about those and these are just fun. They hook over They don't have any sort of a fish hook on them, but they just spiral and they're silver and I just love these I think these would make a great gift too. I want to show you this little chain with the square cubic Zirconium on it right there. I got this very recently I was watching mel and mel makes me so happy She just had the most sweet disposition about her and she showed a bunch of like Personal favorites not just makeup and one of them was a little square cubic zirconium necklace It was just beautiful But I got on amazon and I found this one and I think this would make a great gift as well the little earrings I'm going to show you are these puff hearts. These are so cute I'm a heart person and I think they're so adorable Now this would go so cute with this necklace because it has the little gold heart in it But these are the puff ones and they show up so nice The last one I have to show you is the fish hook earring And it's a daisy with some little foliage on it and it's silver and it comes down probably about I would say Maybe an inch to have two inches. I think these are so cute I just fell in love with them when I found them and I just think they're just beautiful I did pick up these right here. These are from shanny and these are lip glosses Now I have this one on right here at the end as a topper It's a very comfortable lip gloss. It's not super thick So you're not going to feel like it's sticky or anything like that But look how many colors you get and the price is not that much So if you have somebody that you need to get a gift for but you don't want to spend a ton of money This might be perfect because there are a range of colors And a lot of them are sheer but a few of them are opaque And I just thought that this was such a great gift now in keeping with what I told you about watching mail on that same video She had shown the um some glasses like these and as soon as I saw them I was just absolutely enamored with them and I went looking for myself a pair like them These are a polarized pair and of course, I'm going to get purple. She had pink But of course, I'm going to get purple because it's my color But these are so fashionable And when I brought these home and I started wearing them my husband goes I need a pair of those he ordered a pair purple ones It's his favorite color too when I found that out when I first met him I was like, okay, maybe you're the one because she liked purple as much as I do And I just thought they were dang cute cutest aviators. I've seen in a long time Now the next product is from flawless It is a pedicure tool and this is to remove calluses. It's rechargeable My mother is 86 and she cannot do her own pedicure or her own feet and her heels crack so bad And it's so hard for her, but I got this for her after I got one and she loves it It is got so much power behind it and hopefully you can hear that But it really takes down your calluses really fast The one that I'm going to recommend to you comes with a couple of replacements or one replacement Of the actual file part. This is a great gift for anybody. I think but especially somebody That doesn't take care of their feet or has a harder time taking care of their feet I think this makes a really great gift Also, something that I got for my husband was this knife. It has his name on it And then it had had different emblems that you could put on it. My husband loves fishing So this is a bass fish right here His name is engraved in there and then our anniversary is engraved in there And so I got that for him and he just loved this and he uses it all the time I said you have to leave it home with me so that I can show it to my ladies I think this is a great gift for a grandson. You could put their birthday on there This is a great gift for just about anybody as well Also, if you have a girlfriend or a mom daughter, whatever somebody that really likes to have girly girl things This might be the perfect gift for them. This is the cutest little tiny perfume bottle And I fell in love with this. First of all, I love butterflies. I just think that is so pretty I love blue and it does have on the base down here It looks very cobalt blue and enameled butterfly at the top and then you unscrew it Which I thought was really good because lots of times you'll get ones that just are the stoppers The etching of the glass I thought was such a nice touch, but you can still see through it to see how much you have in there I just think this is so so pretty and what a beautiful gift this would give for any girly girl in your life I wanted to show you this razor. This razor is so cool. First of all, it has seven different razor heads I use these on my legs too. Be quiet. Don't tell him But it's really cool because it does conform to the curves of your leg He uses it for his head because he's bald But it completely twists and turns and conforms to it and I love that about it. It's very strong I like that about it too. It really takes down that hair It's great and he tells me that this is probably the best shaver that he's ever had We've had this for over a year and it's nothing's ever happened to it. It recharges This is just an absolutely great razor and I steal it all the time for my legs So, you know that it's really a good one something else that I want to recommend as a gift that I've shown quite recently Is this natural light lamp anybody that has seasonal depression will really appreciate this because it is a lamp That does mimics natural light the nice thing about it. You can dim it and you can brighten it That's really cool too. So I just really think that this is one of those products that if you get seasonal depression You need one in your life. I have this next to my bed I can tell those days when they hit and I just turn it on and it stays on all day long And I do notice the difference with this So this is something that just about anybody can use But if you know somebody that gets the blues during the winter time when the weather gets bad This could possibly be the best gift that they've ever gotten This is probably the coolest invention that I've ever seen in my whole life When we go on trips my husband and I well, okay back up when I am home I have to have a fan going for white noise because I have ringing in my ears. I've had it since I was a very little girl I've been tested for everything But they've never been able to figure it out and I have to have a fan So normally I'm packing a fan around everywhere I go. Well, once I discovered this I don't pack a fan anywhere And what it is is I also every night Even when I'm home and I have my fan I wear a sleeping mask because somebody's always up and the light gets me every time Plus it will wake me up and then I can't get back to sleep. And yeah, you don't want to see me the next day But what's great about this one is you can see that it does have a controller right here And I wish it was charged up. I can't believe I brought it over here without it being charged up But it has an on off Also has a volume control for guess what inside of these little pockets right here. It has little Speakers for your ears. And what's great about it is it has enough padding right here that when you sleep on your side It's not going to be a big deal And you could tell that that came out completely Well, so does the little pack right here that by the way recharges. It's not battery operated But so I can get on youtube and put this on when we're on the go get on youtube And put on a fan noise. They have tons of them They have 10 hours of just straight fan noise or whatever So I get my mask on where it's really dark and I get to not have to worry about the ringing in my ears And packing that fan around everywhere I go This is genius. My husband has one and I have one.  That's what I do anyway Put it in your washer and it comes out nice and clean and like new so This is so much fun And I love this and if you know anybody that travels Are on airplanes all the time or you know somebody that's very sensitive to light or sound This is a great great gift. Okay. I know you all know how much I love purses But how could you make a purse a more personalized gift?  This is canvas on the bottom It's a huge tote bag. I just threw some stuff in there to give it some weight And it really feels very sturdy I can tell by the stitching that it's nice and sturdy and I just love it It's kind of it's plain on the back, which is fine But it's got some cute little fun details to it Not very much money if you have a somebody your granddaughter anybody that likes to go to the beach Or they just need something to tote around different things You could even do this for groceries if you are going to the store I just think that this is such a cute bag and I couldn't wait to show that to you You know, I got a slip of purse in every single video no matter what and this would make a great gift the next one I brought home to my husband And he was having so much neck pain that he was absolutely miserable But I brought this home to him and he was enthralled what this is is a personal Neck and shoulder massager you put your arms in like this And you just rest your arms. It's very comfortable.  It has heat. It has air It has different settings where it can do different things You can go down your back on it if you want to so you can go down as far as you need to This is such a neat gift and you're in control of it because your arms go in here And it's very easy to pick up and move around. It also came with when you can plug into the car So if you're somebody that is on the road and you're you know needing some sort of relief A lot of my husband's a truck driver. He needs that relief He can plug it into his truck and get that massage or that heat or whatever he needs to oh my goodness This feels so good or whatever he needs to you know, just get that relief for a few minutes I think this would make a great gift for anybody and So easy to operate. I think that's one of the great things about it that I love Now if you're here on my channel, you're more than likely a beauty lover And I had to share this travel case with you because I think that any beauty lover would love having this But I think that this is almost the size of an overnight bag And I think that this is perfect If you're somebody that likes to carry on your makeup your skincare Those kinds of things if you're going on a trip on a plane If you open it up, you can see all of the space that's in there It has so many compartments. You can customize this. This is all velcro in here So you can customize it and put it any way you want to Right here are two pockets that you can put liquid stuff into if you need to And in all kinds of pockets in the back to keep things secure There's also compartments on the side that have the mesh And the holders so that you can hold things in place and be really secure with it You have this big compartment on the front That could be completely for all of your makeup And then the rest of it could be for toiletries and your overnight stuff Whatever you need So again, if you have somebody that travels or if you're going to do a lot of traveling this season Or say you have a granddaughter or a grandson that never has anything nice to put their stuff in This is a perfect thing comes in a bunch of different colors. And yeah, this is a really nice sturdy Very well made bag and i'm really glad that I got it And I think it just makes the perfect gift for anybody in keeping with the travel theme I just wanted to show you this kit that I got Four different toiletries when you fly, you know, you can only take so many ounces But this one not only does it have the bottles that are silicone and refillable on this side You have a couple of spray bottles You have a couple of little tubs, but it even gives you a funnel which I thought was great because that's me I'm spilling all over the place all the time and you also get the pipe cleaner So you can get in there and get everything clean when you're done and want to change it over to another product I know this wasn't very expensive and yeah tsa can see through that and you know, no big deal And you're ready to go So I thought I would mention that while we're talking about possibly doing some travel Another gift that I think if you have anybody in your life that loves to take selfies or loves instagram They're posting stuff all the time This is the coolest thing. I have my phone over there somewhere So I can't show you it on the phone But right here on the clip thing that goes over the top of the phone It has the circle so it's not going to interfere with the camera And then on the top are all the controls for it and it has the light and it is bright and you can You know, you put it on your face and it gives you such better pictures Especially, you know, if you're taking pictures at night or whatever it has different settings. It can be dimmed It's rechargeable. I thought that this would make a great gift for a daughter or a granddaughter That loves tick tock or instagram or whatever and trust me. They're going to love this It's one of those things They didn't know they needed until they got it and then they use it all the time rechargeable, which I think is fantastic Great gift. All right, a couple of really pretty fashion items that I can't wait to show you And share with you and then we'll head into the kitchen This is a pair of pajamas that I thought was so cute This is so comfy comes with the top and the bottoms and it's stretchy soft material And comes in a bunch of different colors and I am loving living in this It's such nice lounge wear and we can't possibly do a gift video without showing a pair of pajamas because who doesn't love a pair of pajamas And then next I want to show you this cardigan. This is such a pretty cardigan I love red this year for some reason wine red that deep and cranberry red is my color This is an open front cardigan that I just think is so pretty and so cute I love this cardigan. It is very soft and very cozy It kind of has a waffle knit to it But it has the cable on the front that is just the open cardigan And it comes all the way down over your butt And it's warm and it also comes in a ton of colors I think this is one of those ones that just about anybody would love to get as a gift because it does look very expensive And it's really truly not and then the last thing I have is my coat that I absolutely love This is such a warm sweater coat. I didn't know that I would love a sweater coat as much as I do I love a regular coat. I wear them all the time But this sweater coat when I'm having a day when I'm freezing This is so nice. It has a zipper on the inside. It's three colors that you can see right here again It's the red. I'm into red I love that it has a zipper and then it has the buttons as well It just looks so nice and so classy. This is a beautiful soft sweater It's completely lined and I just think that anybody is going to absolutely love this from you Such a pretty pretty sweater. Okay. Now on to my kitchen items This is a little stool that sits next to my sink and I keep my dispensers for my soaps on there And those I can you can get on amazon and that little stand the chicken I can't remember where I got it from but that little stand is so cute And I think it just dresses up everything sitting there next to the sink with the soaps Next up is this red retro looking toaster that has wide slots for toast and I love this thing I completely redid my kitchen in reds and I love everything that I got Especially this toaster is so fun and fifties looking Next I have shown this little heater that is a wall heater on my channel before This is great for a bathroom that you have that might be cold I put it in my kitchen because my kitchen is just freezing all the time We have an older house that we rent and really doesn't have that great a heating So this is great for me because I can go ahead and just take it from room to room It's a pretty good job of heating up where you're at for being such a small eater I'm going to share these under the cabinet rechargeable strip lights I have never seen anything like this, but this is so cool They do go underneath the cabinet and they attach with a magnet And then you just have the light up there You can take it down to recharge and you actually don't have to take it down to recharge them They are so convenient and I love having light there now Next up is this awesome substitute for the neutral bullet that I found on amazon And this is how I make my protein smoothies every morning And if you're wondering that's just frozen strawberries half a banana some hemp parts Which are really great high in fatty acids and then my pure protein that I'm putting in there And this is so slick it takes about a minute or so you just hold down the cup And it takes about a minute or so, but it Really gets everything all mixed together It will even pulverize those hemp hearts that I put in there because they're normally a little bit chewy You can even do frozen ice out of just frozen fruit. I love this thing next. I have my mini It's about a four cup food processor.  So I'm just going to chop some walnuts here And it's so fast.  This will do nuts This will do vegetables that will do salads. It does a whole host of things It will even do a little bit of dough if you want to because it has another little blade that goes in there This is so convenient and I love using it instead of a big huge food processor And the last item today is my so so cute red teapot again I wanted something that looked a little bit vintage and yet went with the theme of my kitchen of the red And this just completely fit the bill I love the little brass accents on here Love this little addition to my kitchen.

So a couple of weeks ago we talked about how Chris Tyson from Mr. Beast's videos also a longtime friend of Mr. Beast recently came out as gender non-conforming and the response from Chris's friends all part of Mr. Beast's videos including Mr. Beast himself was incredibly wholesome They all showered Chris with love and adoration and said that they support them throughout this journey Unconditionally and it was just a very human thing to see Right wingers of course took issue with that and it has led to a bunch of videos being posted by transphobes where they sort of try to concern troll over Chris and About the impact that their trans identity is going to have on Mr. Beast let me give you one example of that so youtuber Rellin tweeted out about sunny v2 and a video that they posted Where they basically just weirdly concerned troll over Chris Tyson coming out as strands arguing Chris will soon be a nightmare for Mr. Beast Because the argument is that it'll cost Mr. Beast financially due to a lack of support because transphobes won't want to watch the video The video itself was dogshit. I didn't watch the whole thing, but it was bad Now in response to this Rellin writes this new sunny v2 video really feels invasive for all the wrong reasons Like why did you make this you delved into the man's marriage and shit? It just really is off-putting and unnecessary Now this actually prompted mr.  Beast and Chris and they're trying to make it seem as if Chris is making mr. Beast feel uncomfortable by sitting too closely to him It's just very weird like you can tell that these transphobes are trying to pit Chris against mr. Beast, but these two individuals are longtime friends and to try to Drive them apart really shows how deranged and obsessed transphobes are But notice something mr. Beast he hasn't suddenly changed his content and become some vocal trans activists with his youtube account like he's not using His massive youtube channel to say hey everyone you should support trans rights He's simply being a normal person by saying I support my trans friend But even that is too far for bigots because to remain pure in their eyes really what mr. Beast has to do is unequivocally reject his friend despite their years of friendship and Since mr. Beast is not doing that well right wingers are melting down Olly London for example claimed it was wrong to call youtubers concerned trolling about Chris Transphobic, but it's not wrong It's accurate and these youtubers and these content creators who are trying to profit off of this are Talking about really personal family issues with Chris that they're not privy to like they're not privy to the reason Why Chris got a divorce they don't know about these things, but they're speculating because they're trying to drive transphobia now Also, Elijah Schaefer a disingenuously claims that mr. Beast misgendered Chris But Chris has not designated new pronouns and currently they claim that they go by any and all pronouns But you can see how they're really trying to pit mr. Beast against his friend here now also right wing fuckface Stephen Crowder dedicated an entire live stream to mr. Beast's response accusing him of shoving the trans agenda on children and Chief transphobe himself Matt Walsh accused mr. Beast of selling out to the quote trans cult so you can see that they're not taken kindly to mr. Beast not denouncing his own friend But it's a little bit ironic that a Christian nationalist like Matt Walsh would accuse everyone else of being in a cult But I want to remind you again that all of this hysteria is based on him simply remaining friends with someone who came out as trans That's why they're so upset Now let's watch a little bit of Matt Walsh's video Just so you get a sense of how obsessed and deranged these fucking freaks are and now that he's gone down this road There's really no coming back you can expect much more pro-trans content from mr.  Beast videos now is a very good time to stop allowing that We could probably assume that mr. Beast would prefer not to have to deal with this But Tyson has forced him to make a choice and and he chose and he chose wrong This is really the common thread Tyson is Forcing this on to people who are close to him transitioning is wrong always and every time First because it's impossible. You cannot transition from one sex to the other But even if we lived in the sort of science fiction universe where such a thing was possible It would still be wrong to do it when you're married and you have a child Like if I believed in the reality of transitioning I would still say that by the time you get married and conceive a child the transition ship has sailed It is your responsibility now It's your obligation to suppress that part of you and live as the man that your wife and child need you to be Oh, well how reasonable of him just suppress it and be miserable for the rest of your life Presumably like Matt Walsh whose obsession with trans people is merely a coincidence. I'm sure these people are genuinely unhinged and It's just it's shocking to me that a video like that can get half a million views with people Overwhelmingly agreeing that yeah, everything that he's saying here is perfectly reasonable Now notice how he is explicitly calling on parents to not let their kids watch mr. Beast Specifically because Chris is trans and a trans person being in a video. Well, that makes it inherently political and in your face But the simple inclusion of a trans person That doesn't make it political or even pro trans trans people exist So to have them in a video apparently according to Matt Walsh that just automatically taints it it taints mr. Beast's entire Channel see these right wingers aren't outraged by specific trans people or vocal trans activists It's trans existence that bothers them full stop and they're giving away the game here increasingly They're saying the quiet part loud more frequently now So think about how quickly things have escalated right wingers first argue that they're not necessarily Transphobic trans people should be free to live however. They want they simply just don't want Gender ideology to be pushed pushed on their children and that's where they take issue with trans people But now they're just admitting. Mmm. Actually, we don't like trans people We think that being trans is inherently wrong and we need to eradicate transgender people. Oops I mean eradicate transgenderism. We definitely don't mean genocide though See this is where we're at and people like Matt Walsh have huge audiences and they're setting the agenda so much So that Republican legislators and attorneys generals are listening vice reports Missouri is the first day to severely restrict gender-affirming care for transgender Adults amid a nationwide GOP lead push to legislate away trans rights the state's attorney general Andrew Bailey announced an emergency Regulation on Thursday that aims to limit access to gender-affirming care for Missourans by setting sweeping new rules for those seeking treatment Quote I will always fight to protect children because gender transition interventions are experimental Bailey said in a statement Science actually supports gender-affirming care and it's not experimental now. Let's just pause right there That is how these things should be reported on vice news is correct to just lay out the facts But understand that this attorney general as He is announcing a ban on gender-affirming care for adults He's still citing children as his motivator See this is why many of us said that the whole think of the children argument was disingenuous from the start They were hiding the ball, but as they literally now do the unthinkable.  We know that you don't want trans people to exist and this is you trying to Eliminate trans people from existence. I mean, I don't have to tell you all because my audience knows This is going to kill trans people in Missouri because we're talking about an effective total ban on gender-affirming care That is for again adults vice continues the emergency rule makes it impossible for transgender people of all ages to access gender-affirming care Unless they have exhibited a medically documented quote long-lasting persistent and intense Pattern of gender dysphoria for three years They also have to prove they've received a full psychological or psychiatric assessment and 15 separate hourly sessions of therapy at least 10 of which must be with the same therapist This follows several Anti-trans lobbyists and lawmakers who've attempted to falsely equate transness with severe mental illness people seeking such care Will have to be screened for autism and other pre-existing issues such as anxiety and depression and pre-existing conditions Must quote have been treated and resolved before a person can access gender-affirming care Health care providers also have to check that a minor who is trans has received a comprehensive screening Annually and isn't suffering from social media addiction care is also prohibited if health care workers don't check yearly Whether a patient is experiencing social contagion with respect to the patient's gender identity This is likely based on yet another GOP spread myth that transness is a trend or a craze So this is an effective ban on gender-affirming care for everyone in the state of Missouri and sure They're gonna cite the exceptions to make it sound as if they are reasonable But there's a plethora of caveats and stipulations that give Them the ability to deny gender-affirming care to anyone even if they theoretically qualify including adults who Should be able to make this decision for themselves now this goes into effect on April 27th and will remain in effect until 2024 so like I feel like I shouldn't have to say this but This is obviously them trying to eliminate trans people from existence We're not just talking about a mere inconvenience for trans people here We're talking about a policy that is literally going to kill trans people But this was always the goal It's not like that's going to deter them once they find out that denying gender-affirming care to trans people Increases suicidal ideation That's their goal so understand that mr. Beast doesn't have to change anything about his content to become their enemy The fact that he didn't reject his friend for being trans makes him inherently evil according to these deranged right-wingers because their goal is the complete and total elimination of trans people by any means necessary and Simply having a trans friend is Antithetical to that genocidal goal, which is why they're targeting mr. Beast and going against him so vociferously and What they're gonna do I'm assuming is they're gonna continue to try to bully mr. Beast until he gives into the mob and Not only removes Chris from his videos, but repudiates Transgenderism that he tried to push but mr.  Beast has a far larger platform than any of these ghouls and so if they really want to provoke mr. Beast into becoming a real trans ally Well, they're going to end up inadvertently goading him into doing that because if you continue to poke the beast Well, then he might actually just come out and say yeah Trans rights are human rights and here's my video about that as well to my millions and millions of fans


we are living in the age of information overload. The paradox of choice is everywhere from deciding what show you should watch next, what book you should pick up, or what type of milk you should drink with your cocoa buffs. And if more information was the answer, then we'd all be billionaires with perfect abs. And if you find yourself constantly distracted and not being able to focus, slowing down and focusing on one thing at a time might be the best thing to do. And the question I want you to ask yourself is what if you could learn to build an organized mind and use the modern day devices and your surroundings to your advantage. Hello everyone and thank you for joining this initiative. I want to sort of revive on the channel because I used to have this in the past as well where I'm going to provide key ideas and insights from books I enjoyed and would recommend. And today we are talking about a book called the organized mind, thinking straight in the age of information overload. The author of the book is Daniel Leviton, I'm not sure if I'm pronouncing this correctly, but this is one of the books I really wanted to keep on my bookshelves. And the book starts with the idea that our human brain is very good at storing information but not so very good at retrieving that information and using it at the right time and place. Some neuroscientists believe that nearly every conscious experience is stored somewhere in our brain and oftentimes a lot of information comes out distorted or incomplete or even misleading. And this is why we need to create systems that can do the job for us instead, thus removing the friction and allowing us to spend our time doing creative work instead. And this is what Daniel calls shifting the burden of organizing from our brains to the external role. Now the key idea number one is that in today's role we have too much information at our fingertips and thus we are more and more primed to make fast decisions. And let's face it, I mean on a regular day our mind is essentially flooded right from the moment we wake up. We pick our phone up and we probably have to decide which message we should reply first, which comment we should engage in, as always which app we should open next. Every status update you read on Facebook, every tweet or text message you get from a friend is competing for resources in your brain.  And again all of these small decisions you need to take sort of compete for brain resources and your attention. And these are just seductive distractions that will slow you down if you cannot find a way on how to organize them. As Daniel put it, your brain has a daily processing limit, why waste it on cat photos. And our brain has actually evolved and it is trying to focus on a few inputs at a time, as we were not able to hide from predators and also think about why the sky is blue, as that would make the difference between catching and being caught. And our brain is now bombarded by more and more information than ever.  And now the solution to this problem is actually pretty simple, you need to gradually start removing the things you consider distractions out of your daily input. And for some it might be the clothes they wear, thus choosing to wear a uniform to simply remove that what am I going to wear today decision. Others you enjoy eating slightly the same meal every day while the metahumans went even further and started eliminating technology out of your life. Now the second key idea is related to how we can organize our home, the way we work, our environment, our social world, and ultimately our time. And now one of the key ideas here is that if you don't want to attempt to just control your environment your environment will end up controlling you. And the author argues that if you want to simplify your life you should start by tweaking your home or your room first. And assigning a specific place for the objects in your home might be a good place to start. So the same way as you probably have a spot for your shoes you can also create something similar for other objects so that you won't have to worry about where you put them. So you can simply start with small things such as creating a place for your keys and wallet as these are the objects of daily importance.  And the author outlines that our brains hippocampus is very good at storing locations and really enjoys a good categorization system. And he also gives this example of the junk drawer. I suppose we all have this type of drawer in our homes, essentially the place where we store all sorts of random things such as matches, lighters, batteries, and much more. And in terms of organizing the way we work we should strive not to keep useful objects on our desks. Essentially trying to just maintain the desk as clutter-free as possible as the small objects on the desk are sort of like competing for brain resources on a just like subconscious level.  Then you can look at your digital life as well swiftly moving to your computer and cleaning up your desktop files, tidying up your folder structure and system as well. And also the author argues that in a situation where you are trying to concentrate on a task the knowledge of an email sitting unread in your inbox can reduce your effective IQ by 10 points. Also one should aim to make use of a technique called resetting default. Which means that after you're done working you should try to place everything back in its proper place and not keep anything that you don't need and use. If you're using a daily notebook or journal make sure you place it in the proper place when you are done with it. This also applies to your pencils and duct tapes and other various knickknacks you might have lying around. And in terms of removing friction from your social interactions one can start thinking about removing toxic people out of their life or at least stop engaging with them as this type of relationship can be energy draining as your brain will have to process it in the background. So it might be a good tactic to slow down that particular pattern. Now the author argues that the processing capacity of the conscious mind has been estimated at something like 120 bits per second which means you can barely understand two people talking to you at the same time. And the way to ease up the resources and the processing power is to use external devices to regain your focus. Now I believe that we've all stumbled upon a cool quote on the internet which says that your mind is for having ideas not holding them. And this is about shifting the burden of organizing from our brains to the external world. And maybe some of us don't want to remember some specific things such as I don't know the area code for the state where your cousin is living in or by when are you supposed to pay that specific bill. And this is why you can work on creating a system and storing this information in various locations by using your computer your phone or evil a simple notebook. You have the device you have the software you have the app you have the processing power you have all these resources out there and you can use all these resources to simply store the information from your brain to an external device an external place an external capsule. And if we can take some processes out of our brains and put them into the physical world we are less likely to make mistakes. So you can feel free to jot down ideas as much as you can use software to plan and schedule your tasks and leverage the abundance of the internet. And you can check it whenever you are not sure of that particular information and you do not have to worry about storing it inside your brain thus allowing you more space to be creative. Now the third key idea is related to how we can organize and clear our mind from information overload so that we can improve our rest our sleep our work and overall performance. And again the author starts by stating that when people think they are multitasking they are actually switching from one task to another very rapidly. Now I believe that this is actually to some extent very much true we are all guilty of a little multitasking from time to time and again it's not multitasking it's just like rapid fire task switching and I personally believe that from time to time there's nothing wrong with doing fast task switching with fast actions per minute. Some quick speed running through the content you want to consume or the things you want to do online and if you grew up on the internet I believe you kind of understand me. As alt-tabbing is very much your friend here but the main point is that if you want to produce deep work like say writing a novel task switching comes up with a cost as it will be mentally taxing every time you make the switch. Maybe there are some individuals out there who mastered the art of task switching thinking about rockets on one side and then trolling people on twitter on the other side but a stable simple way to organize your mind is simply to disconnect and stop using all of your devices and all of the external stimuli and also create a routine for your brain and body and as always you have simple things going on such as going to bed at the same time waking up at the same time trying to sleep in a cool dark room and covering your windows to keep out the light and essentially I believe that you should experiment with different things and find a way to build your own system as you are the one owning your energy your time and your life


Does the narcissist recognize your worth after you've moved on? From the moment the narcissist first met you They knew that you were something of value They knew that you had something to offer They knew that you had something That would benefit or favor them in some way if they didn't believe that you had any value They never would have engaged with you in the first place They don't target people who have nothing valuable to offer them. That would be a waste of their time and energy As they would just be love bombing someone and getting nothing in return So they have to pick people who they believe to hold something of value or Something that can benefit or favor them in some way They want you to think that they don't see anything valuable within you But that's just to target your self-esteem and make you think that you can't do any better Or you're not worthy or deserving of anything more They knew what value you held when they were chasing you That is what made them target you in the first place That's why they are usually the ones who initiate the first engagement or interaction They initiated it because they expected to receive something in return They knew that you had something valuable to offer They knew that you had things that would benefit or favor them in some way they recognized your worth They knew everything that you were about and everything that you had to offer It's not really a question of your worth It's more about the narcissist being unworthy They were not worthy or deserving of your time and attention But they liked what they saw And they liked everything that you had to offer You were like a shiny new toy And like a child They were not thinking about whether or not they were worthy or deserving of having that toy They just knew that they wanted it It was never about how they're going to look after the toy It was all about what the toy was going to do for them It was about extracting these nutrients from you To help sustain and support them But they were not worthy or deserving of anything that you had to offer They manipulated you Making you believe that they wanted to establish something significant or meaningful When really they were only interested in extracting these nutrients from you They were not interested in love or developing a connection When they initiated the first engagement or interaction They were never thinking about anything significant or meaningful They were only there to steal or rob Whatever it is that you have Which they believed was going to benefit them This is why they have to use deception, lying and manipulation They have to do this to steal or rob from you They have to make you believe that they are worthy or deserving of everything that you have to offer They were never worthy or deserving of anything that you are to offer But because they have such an exaggerated sense of their own importance or abilities And their sense of entitlement They don't see any reason why they shouldn't take these things from you They believe that they are entitled to whatever they want So they pretend and play their part Acting as though they have something significant or meaningful to offer you With no other intention than to steal or rob Everything that you have to offer Which they are not worthy or deserving of From the first engagement or interaction They already knew that they were not worthy or deserving That's why they had to use deception, lying and manipulation They had to trick you into engaging or interacting with them This is something that they had already planned out Before they even met you Because they already knew that they were not worthy or deserving Of anything that you had to offer Now that you have moved on from the narcissist You may be wondering if the narcissist ever recognized your worth Or if they ever really appreciated you Yes, they did recognize your worth They knew that you held something of value That was what attracted them to you in the first place But it was never about love or developing a connection It was never about anything significant or meaningful They just used that because they knew it was what you wanted To trick you into sharing everything that you had to offer with them They might see it as though they had a good time Or they benefited or gained something from it But it never had anything to do with you as a person It was all about them extracting your goods and services To sustain and support them It was never about anything significant or meaningful They were never thinking about how their behavior would affect you Or how you would feel if you ever discovered that the entire relationship was a lie They were just thinking about what you had to offer And how it was going to benefit or favor them What they were going to get out of it That's exactly how they think from the first engagement or interaction While they may have shown you some admiration and respect in the beginning It was only because they knew it was what you wanted to see And they knew that was going to attract you And just like the scenario with the child and the toy The child soon gets bored of the toy and begins to devalue it Maybe even destroy it and then finds another toy to play with Thank you for watching I hope this video resonated with you Please like, comment, share and subscribe Click the bell icon to receive notifications for my future
