Fat and Lazy

Her: “hey babe, I’m bored 😉” Casey: “free time is the enemy of progress, you should be working harder”

"Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it."

Casey: "Free time is the enemy of progress"-- meanwhile Im here watching Casey's videos and procrastinating on my English homework XD

It's amazing seeing a video like this in 2021 after watching Casey's current interviews on how this level of hustle both built him the best life he could imagine, and also almost ruined his marriage, prevented him from being present with his daughters, and completely killed his social life. Seeing him retire in his mid 30s worth millions to focus on the fam I'd say the end justified the means, but this was a sprint pace, not a marathon.

How do you operate on only 4 hours of sleep

Casey always says in his vlogs to work harder and be productive. But we can't cause we are addicted to his vlogs and I've been watching them the whole day

We're not all the same, Casey. What you think of as a "waste" of time, to other people, keeps them sane. It's like when you run. If someone told you that you running was a complete, utter waste of time that you should spend working or sleeping (4hrs a night is rough), you would tell them to f*ck off. Productivity is great and a necessary part of life and mental health. But for me, solitude is as well. I HAVE to have free time to myself or with someone I love almost every day to stay sane. When I'm on my death bed, I highly doubt I'm going to wish that I was more productive. I will probably wish that I had more time to spend on myself and the people I love.

I wish you would do a follow up video. How has your perspective changed in the last five years. Are you the same? I noticed a shift on my attitude towards life as I get older.

This is a very 'New York attitude'. Here in Spain; fun, family and sleep are considered central to a good life. Work isn't. Even a work of passion must be balanced. After all, we die at the end.

I feel honored that Casey decided to do a video based on me: (sorta) fat and lazy.

I'm watching these vlogs in a completely random order but it would be interesting to see an updated version of this one. The shift in prioritises as you get older.

It’s been almost 5 years since you uploaded this video (and that I watched it) and without me knowing, it totally changed me. I stumbled upon this video today and remembered 15 year old me watching this without knowing it would change me so much. I’m so grateful for the videos you’ve shared and the good influence you’ve been on so many of us

So what I've gathered from this video is that Casey never eats and never showers..

Instant like for talking about people who say they are bored.

Full of energy “I usually sleep 4 hours” Uhhh

I know this is an old Vlog but to anybody stumbling across this video and trying out this schedule remember that you should never cut down your sleep. Free time might be the enemy of progress but sleep deprevation is the enemy of health. You need a minimum of 7 hours per night, not to be awake mentally but to minimize your risks of causing serious damage to your physical and mental health. Some of the risks of regular sleep deprevation include, heart failure, strokes, depression and high blood pressure. Also, even if you feel awake it s a fact that the quality of the work you do in a sleep deprived state suffers as well. You want to have a long life, not just to get a lot of work done but also to be able to enjoy the fruits of your labor and for that you need to be healthy. Stayin healthy is not difficult, all you need is 7 hours of sleep, some exercise (it doesn't have to be 3 hours but it s ofc not bad XD) and a balanced diet. If you deprive yourself of sleep you are actively working towards an early death and you can t work when you are dead. So yeah, ironically if you say to yourself "I can sleep when I'm dead" you aren t actually gaining time by sleeping less. You are losing time.

I feel like there's an exponential growth in quality and engagement in every vlog now. It just keeps getting better and better.

I respect what you're doing and saying but I don't think this is good universal advice. Sleeping 4 hours consistently will ultimately net you less time on earth. I know you won't have this schedule perpetually. Also free time is very necessary for most. It allows you to step back, think, experience, and enjoy life among other benefits. Work and accomplishment isn't everything for everyone, but I'm glad it is for you.

I love the quote, “only boring people get bored”

Haha is anyone else watching this while they’re bored in quarantine
