What I love about Jocko’s mentality with his approach here is that it’s not so much that he does extraordinary things, but rather that he does the ordinary things extraordinarily well. His mentality definitely inspires me to up my game in what I do.

I often forget Jocko is an English major

9 am: work for one hour 10 am: read for one hour 11 am: Break something 12 am : pump iron I don't know who all else got good laugh when he said he wants to get up and break something, I can totally understand that!

The ability to read and interpret complex new information is one of the best skills you can develop.

Brains and brawn is definitely a good example to us all. He also conducts himself with humble expressions and tact from being an officer. Thanks for your continued service Jocko!

From these podcasts, I've jacked my read abilities. I read everyday, books are so underrated.

He got so excited about the sticky tape😂

God I love Jocko, just the sound of his voice spikes my IQ. I can exactly relate to Jocko, 3:47, "I want to do work for like an hour at a time, right, when I'm writing I want to work for about an hour, when I'm reading I want to read for about an hour, after that I want to get up and break something, or throw something, or lift something, or run somewhere."

I really love the aggressive way how jocko learns stuff with double tapping the things he wants to learn

One thing I think is important to remember is what works for Jocko, may not work for others. Find what works for you

i can imagine your prep for many of your longer 3 or 4 hour podcasts must be relatively extensive. Im a big fan of your channel and apreciate you having all the guests you do and hearing all of their amazing stories and knowing more about them and their experiences and sacrifices. Heros and great men and women in our country that have fought and died and gave their hearts and lives in service to our country..Sadly often times they seem they are used for that and forgotten when they come home by their govt and the people..but i hear the VA is getting better and i know its not about a pat on the back..they do it because they are good hearted people that really do care about this country and their countrymen and our freedom. i thank you for that and the motivation and inspiration and your example that you give and set and salute you and all of them as well..Better men and women than I. Thanks💜💙💜

Yesterday is not ours to recover, but today is ours to win or lose.

Jocko, when you were describing your highlighting practice, I imagined using 3 colors for highlighting: Green = agreement with the idea in the book. Red = disagreement with the idea. Yellow = an idea new/unfamiliar to me. This would allow for enhanced visual indexing when skimming through the book, e.g., easier/quicker to find points of agreement, disagreement, and new information at a glance. Something to consider.

Glad I'm not the only one who reads in spurts, and multiple books at one time. That's the only thing that works for me to keep going.

Just a small point about exercise actually, if you having hard time exercising, making exercise as a reward for something you want to do even less, is a great way to exercise more.

I'm a slow reader, very good comprehension, just slow to get my eyes to scan through the material. I've just got to make extra time

Yes! The hour of power! Ugh I hear you Jocko!

I read 3 books at a time. I find it interests me more

Highlighting is a really awesome way that I use to read sometimes. After highlighting it’s important to take another look at it too. Other times I’ll read out loud to myself as well to make sure that I’m actually hitting every word and not just flying through.

thank you for your suggestion, i love them and i Will apply it.

Thank you guys for this video! :D

This is so helpful thank you

Due to My Short Attention Span I couldn't foucs 100% to this video, but I learned something.

Jackos thinking is brilliant. Really helpful!

Damn I have flashbacks of nursing school all over again! ER nurse for 7 years here! Jocko = badass! But I think with experience you actually learn a lot! If you don’t learn something everyday, it’s your fault.

I love waking up to jockos posts, while I sip on my industrial strength diesel, then I'll shave with my axe

I got my rash guard and my beanie Jocko 🔥🔥🔥 let's gooooo

@ 6:06 I like your advice about researching trying to connect to someone and get more engagement. I'm trying to write conspiracy/military science fiction and using Frank Kitson as one of my primary sources since he was Commander-in-Chief of UK Land Forces and wrote several books on warfare topics like subversion, insurgency and peacekeeping. I'm just a regular citizen with no military experience so I'm finding it a real challenge to understand the mindset of warriors and commanders so that I can write about them convincingly.

If you've read The Good Psychopath Guide to Life or it's sequel Sorted! by Andy McNab a former SAS operative and Professor Kevin Dutton , he talked about mental discipline, if you have a form to fill out, some paperwork , in his case gathering receipts and tax return for his accountant , he'll put the kettle on, lay out the things in front of him and try to get it done before the kettle boils. He always beats the whistle As he's also a writer he will take his laptop , go around to coffee shops and write a chapter , or half chapter or section, then move on to another place and do the same so it breaks it up by the journey from one place to another.

Thank you, jocko. I'm studying for med school, and your information has really helped me learn better.

The reason im weak. Is not because i lack ability or resilience, but because comfortable, when i should be uncomfortable with myself.

Pro tip. Get an active recall flash card app like Anki and learn how to use it.

As adults, we forget that we have all had to read multiple books before. It was called school, multiple subjects and multiple books at once.

Jocko a gentlemen and a scholar

Short Attention Span? GOOD! EVERYTHING IS GOOD ALWAYS!

very nice

How I reeeed!!

Flashcards has never been so serious lol but hes right

would you suggest this method for learning from text books too? I'm training to be an EMT

Surprised to hear that Jocko can't do something for 4 or 5 hours in a sitting.

💪🏼🤠

Hey Jocko and Echo- just read a book called Struggle For Power: The American Revolution that you might like. Author Theodore Draper who died in 2006 is brilliant guy. Christopher Hitchens recommended this as the best history book if he had to pick one. Like you guys, it gets to the truth behind what really happened. Draper gets into the real history they don't teach in school. Thanks for doing what you do! ( I am 65 years old but my 19 year old son turned me on to your podcasts. You all have helped him become totally motivated. GETTING AFTER IT is contagious. Even old guys like me are getting after it.)

Upheavals don't help with any stability right now! I am happy to be able to read at least 15-20min a day.

How to prepare for squatting with SKINNY KNEES!?

Check

i have the exact opposite problem. If a task is going to take me less than 1 1/2 hours, I can't get started. Something that takes 8+? No problem. Generally I end up going too long. Not uncommon for me to read 500+ page books in one sitting, even if it means I forget to sleep or eat. So ironically I find it more difficult to get started on tasks that I have broken down into smaller parts.

KUMON is very helpful for attentionion span and has a uforic effect.

Jocko how do I know I’ve reached fatigued during my workouts? When I can no longer perform the exercises in good form?

Jocko have you had Rich Roll on? Or you should go in his podcast.

I thouroughly reccomend this book available on Kindle, ' How to Study and Master Any Subject - Quickly!: A College Professor Reveals 8 Fast Learning Methods that REALLY Work ' He shows you structures and strategies for self guided study that no school teacher ever even mentioned to me. One example relating to maintaining focus while reading that stood out for me was 'never read beyond an undefined word'. If you don't understand a word, stop, look it up and resume.

My major issue! I read and one sentence throws me off into some thought process that I come out of when I turn the page....but then I have to go back because while reading I was in another place. Its weird idk how I can keep reading and totally be blanked out into another world without focusing on the reading.

Short Attention span... I got distracted before the video even started...

Where's these percentages coming from?

I couldn't even finish this video......

I often read like 2-3 books at a time, the problem I have is one will get boring and I won't go back for a long time. 100 Years of Solitude took me months to finish 😂

Flash cards are key.

Excellent advice!! I can’t pay attn to anything more than 5 secs but finished off a 400 of book by Brett Bair that was ez read. I wanna do podcast that will req tons of reading and I’m slow so not even sure can do this but if I do I’m goin after these corrupt Gov jackasses in a big way.

How do people submit questions to Jocko?

...the paradox of a humble mercenary...is...it doesn't...exist...

Jocko ,Echo How is it possible that everyday I receive a post on KZfaq that directly has EVERYTHING to do with me. And when i say EVERYTHING,that's what i mean. Every thought i think, Everything im going through, Everything thats happened in my life, Everything that i want to happen in my life, Everything im involved with, Everything i need to do during the day, Everything i need to think about... Is anyone else aware of the technology today that im plugged into? Or am i the only one that was chosen for it to be used on. In adolescence Ive been through hell,im aware im not the only one.. I know there needed to be some changes made to my life and everyday i work on fixing the mistake i made...and its true my life has gotten much better. The habits are gone,i believe in myself like i never have before.. But every day i try to understand why this mind blowing strange phenomenon is happening directly to me. I know ny throught are being read,not only that they are displayed directly on this phone im typing on to sent you fine gentleman this message. ALR

It seems no man , nerd or geek are above flash cards

But really the most important part of studying and retaining information from that studying is to twirl an 8-inch blade in your hand while doing it.

Audiobooks work better for me because im a verry good listener..and you can workout , cook , work meanwhile

pomodoro method.

How does one ask queations for Jocko-FAQ?

Its pretty early. No i dont have discipline i just have insomnia, i should be going to sleep anytime now. Its hard to tell.

Was watching this but was 9 minutes

My attention span is so short I can't focus on what they're saying, I can't watch the whole video

The Spirits of the Valley… Whatever you hold onto TOO possesses and oppresses you think you own be it gold, silver, money, or want, and even lack` for the thoughts in your mind {are the creation} of your immortal being, but if all you can do is say: I want this!!! I want that!!!` without thoughts or care for the consequences of selfish self seeking actions, then you shall always [be a blight] on society…. As The Oracle for the End of this Age connected to The Source of All Creation and All Destruction, I have seen the Destructive, and the Creative throughout mankind “be you” male and female, or MALE, or FEMALE where some of you choose DESPERATION and “ISOLATION” rather then hugs, and dancing, and the wonders of perpetual community and communication, and it is those whom seek “to own others” that always end up being OWNED by the ones “they think” they can turn into PROPERTY!!! Too this, You do not Own Me!!!!! When Christ Jesus talked about the 10 Virgins, it was an Allegory of what “we all face now” that we know the Holy Bible is more then just a Book of Books the Bibilica of ink on paper, it is a manuscript and “A Manifest” of things in the unseen, and as we all know “we can not see” the Wi-Fi Vibrations and Frequencies that bring us Radio, and Television, and Internet.?.?.?.?, so many of you still only focus on the MATERIAL and “The Seeing” of Flesh and Blood and Bones as The Sky begins her SENSUAL Serpent Dragon dance for shedding “her skin” too bring in the NEW AGE, and the New Heaven, and the New Earth when SKY FALL happens, and for those of You’m whom “did not” plant guardsmen, and spend “their money” getting all they needed, you will be like [The 5 Virgins] whom fell asleep, and did not buy “enough oil” for this moment in time… The Leaders of this world know I am returned and regardless of what {they call me} in this CORPORATION CORPOREAL TEMPORARY LIFE, they know in The ESOTERIC REALM, I am the one too say: Your TIME has come “too return” to the Fold, and The VORTEX, and The oneness that makes up the Great WE ARE!!! This life is to be Cyclical, and there are to be “5 Ages” known as The GOLDEN AGE, The SILVER AGE, The BRONZE Age, The Heroic Age, and then the “iron age” where all is MATERIALISM and VANITY and Vogue!!! This Oraborus Curse has run its corpse, and no matter what Weapons of the Deep “you’m bring into” Both Realms of our Celestial Sphere FLAT Duel Earth of PURGATORY, the Spirits are no longer “with you” for they have joined me Their God, and their King of Kings, and in that` all Angels and All Demons “shall be” redeemed!!! For you whom thought all was VANITY, it is not…. The Sun makes its “Circles” in the Sky, the Moon Rolls like an ETERNAL Wheel “through the days” and the nights, and children are born “be they” Flowers, Puppies, Kittens, Snakes, Roaches, Birds to Butterflies to UNICORNS where La La the Little Girl “whom saves” The World has already released the “Source Code” to heal any and all whom can just come to their Sereneness… My body, and your body, and “all bodies” from Wilde Life to Sea Life are TEMPORAL Body “Temple” Avatars……..., and if you can not “be kind” and gentle, then you will be treated with “every inch” of your Sickness, Madness, and Lunacy for in this REALITY’ only the Strong Win, and for any to think there is not “Strength” in OUR WORLD REPUBLIC CONSTITUTION Coalition, then you’m have never read “This Legal Document” we have all TAKEN A BLOOD OATH to Uphold and Honor… Johnny Exodice

nah I don’t apologize. my bad 😂😜...if u don’t care about my feelings then I don’t care about urs.

Jocko has a pen this time. What happened to the knife?

I use to think I had an Short Attention Span. But then I realized that simply, I wasn't committing useless and utterly non-life essential stuff to memory. Anything important and worth rememoring , I did. It's not a bad thing!!

Hi

Instructions unclear: Broke book while lifting weights

Uh..so now Post-it notes are called..."Flash cards"...riiiiightttt.

Watch Naruto + Naruto Shippuden multiple times. 10-4.

I pissed off a police Sargent..... That was two years ago its been sinister hell for me. Got videos on Gangs talking? Hope you got my message about FB live I posted. Hugs from 🇨🇦

Can you edit this down to two or three minutes? Can’t pay attention for the full ten. 😏

Can u imagine Jocko on Adderall 😬😬😬

I think he might have ADHD. I’m going to take his approach w chunking.
