#18 John Fish: New Takes on Productivity, Taking Care of Yourself, and (Not) Setting Goals
Description
Today, I sit down with John Fish who you might know from his YouTube channel, with nearly a million subscribers, that chronicles his growth throughout college. And that's what we talk about in this episode.
The channel started growing with his vlogs as a computer science and psychology student at Harvard but has transitioned into much more. John reflects deeply on his experiences, documents what he's thinking about, and then shares his insights. His videos cover everything: books, productivity tips, programming projects, and importantly general wellbeing and mental health.
And this conversation really revolves around the theme of growth. John has obviously put a lot of content out there that doesn't change once it's published... but the guy behind the videos has. Today, John shares the ways he's updated and changed the way he thinks. How does he set goals? (not what you think). How does he plan his days? (it's not down to the minute). How does he take care of his mental health? (he keeps it simple).
And that's just scratching the surface of what we talk about...along the way we discuss internal pressure, unrealistic expectations, and of course, books.
Since John thinks about his mental frameworks and tactics more than most, I think this conversation is especially insightful with actionable takeaways for all.
