You're not lazy - deconstructing a YouTube video that resonated with us
from Stationery Freaks · host Rob Lambert & Helen Lisowski
In this episode we were super inspired by a wonderful YouTube video we watched, called "You're Not Lazy : How to live a chaotically organised life" by YouTuber Elizabeth Filips. So, given it summed up how we work, or at least how Rob works (that was why Helen sent him the link to the video), we thought we'd deconstruct the video and share stories about how we operate. And of course, although light on stationery talk, how we use stationery to control our own chaos.In the episode we talk about:Stationery Stories:Helen has bought some single use ink pensRob's been boring and bought some coloured paper Helen's daughter is mapping out the entire history of the Roman Empire on a giant sheet of paper. We chat about white boardsHelen is retreating to a libraryAnd of course, we deconstruct the messages in Elizabeth's videos and how they resonated so much with us.Fall behind, catch up, move aheadSeven year itch - become 1000% better quicklyOptimise for passionAdult brat - talk to yourself properlyElizabeths video is here : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A2sS00egAzg&t=639sHer channel is here : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUFFHXvzAMRSD8Bq4bJppxQWe mention Van Neistat : https://creatorhub.patreon.com/articles/digital-spaghetti-van-neistatWe mention Mark Forster : http://markforster.squarespace.com/Check out the newsletter and website at stationeryfreaks.comThanks
