my man just made an 11 minute tutorial on how not to be depressed
@злой. arson in space
cheaper than therapy thats for sure
Look at you... understanding not only the content, but the length as well. You so smart!
@J D goddamn internet genius coming in to save the day
@J D I know!
It’s Jan 2021, I am failing, so I came back to this video to help me start moving the core again.
I’m doing the same thing now
It's hard.
you got this
Guys i jammed the core pls help
Just go outside
"You’re probably watching this from your default station: couch"
Me: watching this in my sleeping station instead of sleeping
im in a chair and desk
I’m in my sleeping station because I’m sick 🤒
My “couch” station is my sleep station, because it’s more comfy than the couch
@mat same
No don’t do that
You’re probably watching this from your default station: couch
Jokes on you Grey, I’m watching this from the maintenance station: toilet
@Cat Guy that’s illegal, did you even watch the video?
Me : bed ;)
I'm watching this from my Station: my bed (¦ꒉ[▓▓]
Table
I’m watching this on sit station: chair
I'm in shock... Parents, friends, therapists, teachers all tried to teach me how to do this... And this made 1000% more sense
And even if the pandemic has almost ended and things are reopening, the advise is still very useful.
He probably spent weeks, possibly months on research, writing and filtering to get here.
Few teachers, friends or parents can spend this long on planning 11min worth of advice.
@Dane Jaggernauth wa
Agreed
@Dane Jaggernauth he is wisdom incarnate
I'm 14 yo and this is exactly what has kept me going for more than a year, I have been taken my studies a lot more seriously and I'm preparing to do an exam and enter the school that I want
I completely remade my room with an space for entertainment, studying and sleeping.
I'm developing my physique a lot and I'm losing fat
I started reading books and I'm learning every skill that I can, for example cooking, to be able to develop my physique more
It's very nice to finally see a video about this
Very impressive this inspires me.
The music choice is genius here. At the beginning, he has some of his normal music until spaceship you lifts off, changing to a melancholy piano piece as he talks about the changes ahead before fading into a positive space-like theme as he explains the stations on spaceship you.
I didn't realize that! Cool :)
We may take it for granted, but CGP Grey's videos are literal works of art
The fact that this was 8 months ago is soul crushing
At least its getting a bit better
@PhantomPh1re Go back to raiding Capitol because your president lost
@I don't boogie to these deals its not a loss when you know that the opposition cheated. :)
Hah! How do you think I feel!
@I don't boogie to these deals nice to derail... wanna try to stay on topic?
If you're like me watching this while (still) in quarantine, beating yourself up over not seeing this sooner: Relax! Just like Grey said, it's never too late to keep your core spinning. So what if you missed out on a few months, the best time to start getting your stuff together is NOW!
I actually wasted more than a year
@Fallen Down saaaaame
@Net Lag i opned my book after a year and a half. I feel weird after actually studying but must do it! THIS VIDEO GIVES ME DETERMINATION. Ok i am bored i can study a hour later
@Fallen Down I've wasted more years than anyone it's not even funny. It feels like the pandemic happened just to ease my soul from being a complete waste. But outside I look normal to people. They probably think I'm working from home.
i was never in quarantine i live in America the land of the free where i was free to take the chance to get sick and never did... my life didnt stop because i wasnt afraid....
Grey: “You’ll then just have stuff just on... ...not really paying attention... ...maybe playing video games...”
Me: Listens to this in the background playing video games
This actually made me fix our apartment in order to have dedicated spaces for each task, small as our place may be. And it legit helped. Early on this quarantine period there were times I broke down, with fear in general. With the virus, with the current politics, with everything. But yeah, this helped. A lot. Thank you so much, man.
I love how he blocked two whole hours for exercise and ten whole hours for sleep, nice touch to have exactly eight hours for work like a normal workday
"unlike excercise, it's not simple to just lie down and 1, 2, 3, sleep"
My dad: you underestimate my power
my mom falls asleep like that
@ArrasLad Ok
My dad sleeps when he is awake
@Pixelmace he is too old to stay awake
My Boy Scout troop leader just, bam, shuts off. He could sleep through a squirrel on coffee.
This was posted a year ago (exactly), when the pandemic was just starting. Back then, the videos that became "viral" were about handwashing. This video is far more important, and could have been beneficial to a lot more people. This deserves at least 10 times as many views.
This isn't only applicable to people in the current situation we are in now, this video will still be relevant in years to come. People who have no job, depression, social anxiety and other problems may benefit from watching this video and changing the way they live in their home.
This absolutely needs to be a VR game. Someone please do this.
It already exists. It’s called “life”
Yeah. Agree
Imma do it :)
4:00 One year and several watches later I just noticed the “coffee supply” is twice as large as the “water supply”. Gotta keep priorities
it is a pretty small detail, but pretty funny
I’m surprised it’s not tea.
@gracious511 Did you assume Grey is British or that the British had rubbed onto him? He's very explicitly a coffee person, too.
On a different note, I am glad I’m not the only one who keeps messing up their spaceship even though we’re getting closer to the landing
@Lycaeon I had assumed he was British when I watched this.
Coming back after 8 months I still think this should be mandatory to watch for everybody.
I keep coming back to this every few months to help bring me back to baseline. Thank you for this video.
Please teach me how to do it
This. Honest, concise, direct. I hope everyone else is doing well on their spaceships & I look forward to hanging out on earth with you again soon.
Remember: respecting the boundaries between these different zones is critical. Godspeed.
Remember: using the ship's self-destruct system is highly not advisable.
What I love about this video is that even after the pandemic, it's still useful information. Just because you are allowed back on earth that does not make the core spin itself.
all i took away from this video was that every mundane thing i do sounds way more important if i imagine its on a spaceship.
log: 28377364273774 its been weeks since i had food.. help..
Thats so true
thank you - this was so incredibly cringe-y that I couldn't even finish it. CGP has really fallen off in quality
@mikeyeldey you do realize this was over a year ago right? Or are you talking about before then
@Faisal Hamadeh Yeah. I think his ridiculously wrong "Simple Solution to Traffic" video really soured a lot of his content for me ever since
Me: brutally failing this whole,"leaving better then you were before"
oh yeah, its all coming together
To whoever needs to hear this
Nothings gonna happen if you submit the project or assignment late or if it’s not your best work. your health is of utmost importance. Don’t get stressed, take a few deep breaths, drink water and take care of yourself.
watching this almost a year later hits different
Man I wish I'd found this a year ago when it was posted.... This would have been great for past me, but present me also needs the reminder of these important tasks and seperations. Ever forward Captain!
The pandemic in Brazil seems to never end, so it's never too late to see this video. Thank you, Captain
'Prime with the physical - it has sturdier grips'. That one sentence has struck such a chord with me. Thank you.
The smooth, soft voice of CGP Grey and Kurzgesagt is why i listen to this while sleeping. Even if it is against the rule of station hygiene.
"couch where you couch"
"couch comes pre installed"
"take action from couch"
wake up call lmao
This has to be the best representation I've ever seen for one's health
And even though it uses super timely and effective for the situation right now, it is ALWAYS applicable!
@CountKoski this is the actual video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LO1mTELoj6o
oh fuck I just realized that like the 1st point is the complete opposite of this video, oh well, it was a good video anyways.
@PanP3rnicek I'm the in the same boat. Well, another ship, but you get the idea. It's finally brought me to a point where I can no longer ignore that I need help. There's no shame in admitting it. We're not alone in this. Reach out and ask for it.
@Principleship Coleoid That sucks. Don't worry if you're in school you'll be back soon.
"Spaceship You" was really helpful for me during the start of lockdown, I was always tired and achy and not wanting to do anything but Spaceship You was what got me out of it, I started running for my exercise which while I don't do anymore I still try to keep myself active, and it was even the thing to help me start streaming which is what is helping me stay positive. Thankyou grey, this video couldn't have come out at a better time for me, it helped me so much that it is still my phones background. Thankyou
The YouTube video entitled "Age of Quarenteen: Chelsea Wolfe", is similarly on point.
This has got to be the best analogy there ever was.
With every new lockdown I find myself coming back to this, and with each new lockdown I find myself following the advice more closely and being more motivated to follow the mission.
When the pandemic is long enough so that even CGP Grey can upload a 10 minute video related to the current events.
Heh
@Killer97 this aged well
Your naivete was beautiful @Jerry Yuan - I hope you have been able to hold onto some of it.
It’s been a while, hope your core is still spinning
This comment is so naive of the future
I'm upset, momentarily that I only found out about you today. If only past me had seen this video, I may not have failed. But I'll work on giving myself a Theme and turn things around. To resurface a ship long sank.
I like how I watched this when the pandemic is over. And I just lived inside like I do normally this really wasn't a change for me
"Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be." -Abraham Lincoln
You know, he was right!
"Do what you can, with what you have, where you are." -Theodore Roosevelt
He had a point too.
This is not just for pandemic season or something to throw away one pandemic season is over. This is truly self help and lessons on productivity. Great video!
its cool how instead of drawing out the phrase "wash your hands, wear masks, and stay away from other" for 10 minutes. he tells us how to stay a normal and healthy person and not drift off into our spaceship and stay in the void
@EnRichment17 or an o2 filter and a janitor
@Cade Norris For once you extraverts feel what it is to be an intravert in your world :)
Ya know, it would have been better to see this before my mental meter completely went down and I crashed to to earth
@black hood 24*
@Strazdas it’s pretty different than that. Because most people (introverts) choose to say home normally. But now everyone has to stay home. Even if they don’t want to.
This really helped me out with finding some motivation to "keep the core going", I've really been struggling with that lately especially with school but this made me feel like I have a chance and I can make it, thank you
I needed that bit about maintaining the creation station! That's exactly why I've been having trouble with it! Thank you!
I love the detail of burn marks on top of the spaceship, probably because atmospheric drag during launch.
"you will burn through the list of things you truly enjoy surprisingly fast..."
me watching this for the 7th time
My 666 time
WHY DID I NOT WATCH THIS MASTERPEICE AT THE BEINGING OF THE PANDEMIC
This is me right now. I wish I could have seen it earlier.
YEAH DUDE MY LIFE IS RUINED
Agreed
i am only watching it at the post climax! the vacine has been made! i doubt that EVERYONE other than me has not been able to go back to earth and leave spaceship you! also i dont really know if i completed the mision of coming back better than before... i wish i found ANYTIME before the vacine at least! even if it wasnt at the videos release!
Beinging
YouTube has started recommending me videos I've already watched multiple times, even though I can see by the red bar thing that it knows I've watched them. Yikes.
“Isolated”
“Brain is either apathetic or over agitated”
“Require great effort in dividing limited physical space”
“Random sleep schedule”
“Struggle and fail to keep the core running”
This is me even before the pandemic...lol
This video was literally my" ok time to get my act together" motivation a year ago. From heart to heart. Thanks Grey

for everyone who's watching it now: it's never too late to improve your station. You got this, Captain.

@Jay Dougan Your comment helped me. I thought it was too late to start the ship. But I fixed it and labeled it. I thought the video could not help me. But your comment made me realize the video can still help me
ContextLoser - 2021-08-26
thanks for the honorable mention
