I would be entirely glad if he halved his overall output if need be, and had more time for himself and his family. I understand reviewing is now his day job of sorts, but it's obvious to me that he should still put his health, well-being and his family first. The world will not end if he doesn't stick to a strict schedule (that seems remedied now, with the announcement of "Chaos Mode") or doesn't keep up his, as others have said, thoroughly impressive reviewing tempo. Something's gotta give, as the saying goes. Either Chuck's health, or the frequency of the videos. I'd prefer if the latter gave, not the former. For the sake of SF Debris himself, and his wife and children.unknownsample wrote: ↑Sat Mar 14, 2020 7:25 pm Yes there's that as well. I do wonder if Chuck is overextending himself and should slim down to focus on a few shows.
Recently, in January, a good female friend of mine nearly suffered genuine burnout. Even her doctor warned her. This was a result of all the work load she took on herself last year, and add to that her going back to college to finally study again. She's only 24 and a more sensitive person, so it was maybe even 10x easier for her to get a burnout than the average person. As me and her other friends told her repeatedly, she needs to relax more, spread out her duties and delegate them among others if need be. She's done so in the last two months and things have really improved. I think it's dangerous if a more sensitive/anxiety-prone person like her gets lost in workoholism (she's had this issue before, in her high school days), and even those less easily threatened by this should take their health more seriously.
Not handling an ever greater work load doesn't mean you're less skillful or less hardworking a person. Not at all. If anything, one should learn to love what they're doing and appreciate what they've achieved, without having to flagelate themselves over and over with the notion of "I am not doing enough yet !". I think my friend, and Chuck, and plenty of other men and women, are already doing more than enough. They need to go more easy on themselves.
That's genuinely sad. Vimeo was probably the most comfortable video player SF Debris has used to date.
Oh well, the financial side of things is important. Pity he'll have to move so much stuff again.
I wish him good luck once he gets to it.
