Health is the most important thing and absolutely the right decision to focus on it. Good luck with your training, it will be hard initially but you’ll be very glad of the work you invest in it when you look back, I have no doubt you will smash it. Thanks for everything you have done with the channel too, it is really great content.

Thank you for your excellent content, in whatever quantity best works for you. I especially appreciate your book reviews and recommendations. Best wishes to you as you focus on your health. Hopefully you can find some health-supporting activities that are so fun that they don’t feel like (just) work.

Health is Wealth Utsav. Without good health one is nothing. I am telling you based on my experience. Was obese and would always face body pains, subluxation. Decided to change this for healthy lifestyle. Feel so fit and energetic now. I am sure you will get there too with the break that you are taking. All the be$t!!!

Let alone start ups, but I've been wondering how you juggle a full time job and a successful youtube channel that is keen on providing quality content. Indeed health is a priority and you taken it seriously before it is too late. I fully agree with your decision. I have been binge watching your videos to get advice and insights in an engineering career. I am looking forward to your monthly videos and hope to see you back fully sometime later. Till then peace ✌️

Take care man, our health is the number one priority. First health, then anything else. Some recommendations from my side, make sure you do a blood test to check electrolytes, hormones so to fix any imbalance. Diet and exercise should be your new lifestyle

Engineering with Utsav
I AM TAKING A BREAK
The eventual goal of efficiency, productivity and high-functioning time management is to create a balanced system, where the things you want to do and the time you have to do those things stay in an equilibrium. The problem I have is that I have a high drive to get *everything* done — excel at my day job, run a successful YouTube channel, build startups, be there for my family, remain a good friend, and much more. And naturally, the more stress points you add to that equilibrium, the more it becomes imbalanced, until something eventually gives, and it snaps.
For me, that snap has sadly occurred with my health. Nothing seriously wrong, but I just have not been able to spend time on it for a long while now. Since 2020, I’ve failed miserably to focus on my health, and as a result, I’ve gained over 35 pounds (16 kg) during this time. I read somewhere, “When you don’t have time to do something, it’s not that you don’t have the time, because everyone has the same 24 hours, but what you are trying to do is just not important enough to fit within that 24 hours.” And I think this is very true. So, before this turns into an actual health issue, I’ve decided to prioritize getting into shape for the rest of 2022.
To make time for that, I will be taking somewhat of a break from YouTube for the rest of the year. This does NOT mean that there will be no videos. I already have a few great videos in the pipeline, and I have some amazing ideas that I’d like to execute this year as well. This just means that you will not be seeing a video every week after September. It will most likely be one every month.
I am also not going to disappear from social media. I will be hosting AMAs on Instagram as usual @engineeringwithutsav, perhaps even more frequently, and you can always DM me if you have any questions!
Finally, I want to thank every single one of you legends for your support these past years. I am beyond humbled by all of this, and I hope that my channel provides enough of a value that you will stick around through this short break as well.
Thank you! 🙏🏼
