I’ve got 1476 videos on my watch later list… that’s RIDICULOUS. Let’s talk about digital hoarding - it’s a niche topic, and I’ve got three questions I want you to answer:
1. Look at your list… does it follow a pattern? 2. Why did you never watch the videos later? 3. Most importantly, what are the shadow psychology implications of your digital hoarding and digital stockpiling tendencies?
Homework:
Confront your shadow, retrace your digital footprint - scroll to the bottom of your watch list, pay attention to the patterns and how your passions change with the seasons, and give yourself the gift of self reflection.
Your unwatched digital history is a virtual tapestry of your psychological evolution, here’s a peek at mine:
2019: “How to stay sober” / “sobriety psychology” (Early days, but now I’m six years sober.)
2020: “barefoot walks” / “best grounding exercises” (Global pandemic, good time to abandon shoes)
2021: “How to start a YouTube channel” (Dozens of videos on this theme, hundreds of hours of research, and now YouTube feels easy and natural)
My watch later list goes back to 2019, or at least it did until earlier today when I felt inspired to clean up my digital home.
Digital detox: 44 unwatched videos now.
Cleaning out the cobwebs, and I’m glad to have found some gold that slipped through the cracks.
Check your watch later list after checking the comments - you’ll learn something about yourself. Take a scroll through your shadow steps, and enjoy the special feeling of reflecting on how much your psychology has changed over the last few years.

P.S. I know whats happening with my sudden surge of digital hygiene. I recently placed myself on book ban until September 21st 2025 - “no books exist beyond this library” - this is my mantra: no new books, zero novelty.
It’s been 66 months of 3+ psychology books per week - at least 1000 pages per week, non-stop learning since the end of 2019 - and I think I’ve got what I need to have an honest attempt at creating the most definitive trauma and self actualisation curriculum on the internet.

There is nothing to watch later.
