And how can he balance this with writing books, finding interesting articles on the internet, and maintain a life with chores, eating, and sleeping?</p>https://blog.isakkvam.com/post/perfectionism-is-an-act-of-cowardice/Thu, 22 Feb 2024 00:00:00 +0000https://blog.isakkvam.com/post/perfectionism-is-an-act-of-cowardice/<p>I’ve been following Van Neistat’s videos since his fifth video was published, which the YouTube algorithm suggested while I was vanning through Walla Walla, Washington. I was killing time hanging out by the river and, having watched most of his brother Casey’s daily vlogs (rip daily vlogs), quickly watched all his videos beginning to end.</p> <p>He can get ranty. He can be cranky. He has plenty of opinions I don’t agree with. But his videos about the creative process are fascinating.</p>
