Clock ticking, then ringing. Casey's every day. Wake up early and do nothing the first hour of the day, mostly stuf on his iPad. Shaving before he runs. Morning run. Back home he wakes the girls, then shower. He shows his daugther "shower to do list": singing, eating water, spitting, making potions, getting the potions in her eyes, having a disco, arguing with herself, making bubbles. Casey does it. Tiny pancackes, grapes, watermellon, breakfast, kids to school then work. The productivity matrix. 4 quadrants. Productive/not and the other axis: what he wants to do and the opposite what he should do. Lots of things he wants to do but should not do, like playing videogame, spending countless hours on social media, watch youtube... on the other side there are things he likes to do but tends to avoid to do, like make and edit youtube videos. There are things he doesn't want to do but need to do, organising stuff, work calls, emails... and The apex of procrastination: things he doesn't want to do but that he will do to avoid doing the things he should do: check mail box, cleaning the studio. Candice in her car explains that she catches herself doing things she was not supposed to do but doesn't have the adrenaline rush that some people have when they do and finish what they have to do. She just do it because she fears to fail. Casey doesn't feel that way. He shows his day. Just a little piece is really what he likes to do and has to do. He asks his friend Max. His advice: wake-up late and he likes to start to work when other starts to end their work day. So he mostly works until 2am. Casey understands, way back when he was doing his HBO show with his brother Van, they had a rule: after work hours, no one was allowed to come visit them because that was when they were very productive. No phone calls. But it doesn't work anymore because he has kids. Sam doesn't have better advice, he works very little between social media and video breaks. For Casey, every day is a negotiation with the matrix. But he does a lot of things but feels like not a lot is being done. Casey goes out to buy candy. Booster board ride, then back to the studio with M&M's. He uses candy and glasses to show that everything is is doing doesn't accumulate. It disappears as soon you finish a task but doesn't leave anything tangible. As a creator, videos are tangible. But the other things are important too, and a necessity in order to make the videos. You have to navigate the storm before the ship can be brought in. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pdp3p23P-TI
