Oh my gosh LOL, your description of the perfect workday or work week was exactly how I’ve been thinking. You are so right, it’s like meditation if you have to have an absolutely quiet with no distractions no noises it just isn’t gonna happen. Love the video!
Yea, you gotta work with what you got rather than wait for the perfect circumstances. thanks for the insightful comment.
You could start meditating, that helps me a lot just 10 min of your day. Its crazy how much work you put in your videos
You might be on to something there.. Never tried meditation, sounds excruciatingly boring! You're right, I do but a ton of work in the videos. But only because it's fun for me and I want to convey the message in the best way.
@@comicsforbeginners i mean meditating is of course boring, but if you sit down for 5-10min every day and only consentrate on your breathing, you recognise when you are getting distracted and do something against it. It helpes me a lot and not just with drawing
@@zambiasi6017 Gotcha. I hear it from others too, just never tried it myself. Wouldn't know how :-)
You are completely right. An example: I spent almost 5 weeks alone inside my house during the very beginning of the pandemic. And of course I couldn't do anything but get a mental breakdown! It was awful. You write when you feel like writing. That's the truth. You can always find time. And humans (most of them) are social beings. We need interaction with friends and family.
Perhaps the timing for this video is a bit off, considering the alone time a lot of people have been forced to endure during the pandemic.. My situation Is different. And luckily life is pretty much back to normal here in Denmark.
@@comicsforbeginners We're getting there, here in Ecuador. But at the very beginning it was pretty rough.
@@jdsantibanez I can only imagine. Our government locked us down early and we're over 75% vaccinated at this point. Go, science!
Hard pills to swallow but overall great video! This speaks to me on so many levels considering I'm always hoping for the ideal creative alone time when in reality I need to just embrace the never stillness that life seems to dish out towards me each week. Also, the part about forgetting what you were about to write down is so relatable! I have the same thing happen to me often when I get drawing ideas or finally figure out a scene for my comic, it drives me nuts but I learned my lesson after losing so many ideas to the brain void that I started writing them down or drawing them in a pocket sketchbook
Thanks for your insightful comment, glad this resonated. Having a system for catching ideas is crucial, you are right about that. And "never stillness" is a great way of looking at this issue.

Ha. At least I have that going for me!
Thanks a lot this was very helpful. Most of the issues Sounds familiar.
Appreciate the comment! Glad you found it helpful.
Superficial self-help book advice in video format. Sorry mister, but with all due respect, I think you should stick to the technical. What is true for you is absolutely not true for many, many others watching this video. What about personality? Life history? families that have been dysfunctional for generations? major trauma? subzero social status? bad health, physical and mental? poverty? injustice? war? BAD LUCK? I'm sure you must strive hard to balance all the things in your life, and I congratulate you for it, but many people who would like nothing more than to be creative and productive in artistic endeavors have immeasurably bigger and tougher problems, worries, and pains than those common in your apparently comfortable and privileged upper middle class Danish life.
Hey Taka, you're absolutely right. I'm super privileged and everybody's situation is different. It would be impossible to make a video about productivity or anything else if you had to take in account the struggles of everyone everywhere. What about people with no arms, or no computer or phone to watch videos on? The point I'm trying to make in this particular video is that we all have an idea of what optimal looks like and we rarely get it. So we have to work with what we have. Sorry this struck a wrong chord with you. All the best, Palle
