Was thinking the same thing. Then when you do them you feel great ha ha

Excellent. Thanks.

Exactly! I wake n think what’s my intentions today? And I get the most pain (in butt) task handled asap.

Don't follow this advice if you have ADHD. Do the easy things first to build momentum

Him and mark Manson are much less extreme than a lot of the other gurus

"Failure is a part of success, not the opposite of it." - this sort of sentiment is prominent in the early education concept of "growth mindset". Don't know if that could be how you've come across it in the past, but it's immediately what I thought of.

Not to feel exasperated or defeated or despondent because your days aren’t packed with wise and moral actions, but to get back up when you fail, to celebrate behaving like a human - however imperfectly - and fully embrace the pursuit that you’ve embarked on. -Marcus Aurelius

Simply getting dressed is so helpful for me

Excellent stuff, I could rearrange my routine to look more like this. Otherwise I can get sucked into things (like news videos) for an hour or so. 😬

Ahh maybe I need to get a pet dog .It will instill got to get out 2 walks a day for the pet I know I ll love to care for.

Same! Morning routine is essential

Except when they aren't. One of the greatest boxers of our generation, Floyd Mayweather would notoriously wake up in the afternoon to go train at his gym around 3pm. In reality it doesn't matter when you get the work done, as long as you get it done. That being said there are specific times when it's more conducive for an individual to do their work, but that should never be based on prescription. If anyone lives with enough awareness they will see which times are less conducive and more conducive to do particular tasks.

@@ElizarTringov sounds like 3pm was Floyd’s morning. He woke up and got it. That’s the message. If you’re up at 3pm and down at 3am it’s a full day.

​@@clydenolet736 No, it would be better if people started to acknowledge that expecting everyone to work during the same hours is illogical and unscientific. Cause 100,000 years ago, someone had to keep a look out while the tribe slept.

@@robrick9361 that’s what chickens do. We used dogs for thousands of years for that as well. If you are self employed you can make your own hours, or if your what’s known as a “hibernation type” you can work evenings - people don’t work the same hours - have you ever noticed someone working on your day off?

@@clydenolet736 I was talking specifically about how culture treats non-standard working hours. I never said it didn't exist. And humans didn't always have dogs so I don't understand why that's relevant. What about the millions of years before that, through the evolutionary tree. At some point in our past, someone had to stay up while others slept.

I'm a morning (ish) bird but my husband is an extreme night owl. This is so true and much of society has no compassion for night owls and because they "sleep in" they are seen as lazy. Not true!

I was a night owl. I trained myself to be a morning person. Like doing the cold plunge- so difficult at first, near always, but the effects are worth it. When the circadian rhythms finally move back where they need to be your life aligns in ways you cant imagine.

@@rooshe8957If you did this, you probably at one point had to keep a “normal” schedule and had no problem doing so. I was like that, all the way through college and after. Then my career turned me into a night owl because my schedule was usually 1 or 2 PM - 9 or 10 PM. Then I had to go on disability and while I thought I’d get back to a more “normal” schedule (though maybe not getting up at 6 or 7 AM as I had to do for my childhood years & part of my 20s), it didn’t happen. I’m still trying to be less of a night owl, and I think eventually I can because I wasn’t always a night owl. But it’s been a struggle and I am hard on myself for not achieving this. What I’m pondering now is, should I be doing this? Is it wasted energy fighting my current circadian rhythms? For people who are inherently night owls, they should allow themselves to live according to their own nature, without apology.

I used to be a night owl until my herbalist told me that night owls are just morning people with a 'liver hangover'. Don't know if that's true for everyone but it was for me. I went on a liver cleanse, started eating, healthier, and now I get up at four every day. No problem. However, one thing you said is correct. I'm zonked by 9 PM.

Good one!

As a 20 year old i practice many of these. I pray and am grateful to be able to. Although I am stepping into more deep work now and It’s hard. Although if I truly want to leave something behind that’s aids a better way of living I must put my mind to it. No more useless days, it’s time to construct the future

so top 10 thing to do repost eveyr week xD joke yea "put shoes on and go win life" x 10

The TOP comment

Thank you

@@AndrywMarques Olaaa! Tudo bem? Eu adoro!

Personally the most important aspects of these routine type videos is the morning and evening routine. A lot of us don’t have time to be creative for 3 hours in the middle of the day but most of us can bookend our days with routine and intention. We can wake up early, stretch, go for a 10-20 min walk, read a passage from a daily book and set the day with intention. We can also end the day strong. Go to bed at a good time, stop consuming technology an hour before bed and read a chapter from a fiction book that interests us. At least that’s what I try to do. When I’m successful doing so it works wonders for my mental health and productivity.

This comment strikes me oddly because I work a 9-5 and I feel like these life-optimizing advices hit home for me. You have time in the morning and evening. You just need to set the time frame and choose what you do with it. You can’t really say “I’ll do this in the morning” or “I’ll do this tonight”. Block off a specific time frame and commit to just that. It doesn’t have to be reading, it can be drawing, watching a show, going for a walk, meditation, listening to music. You choose what you do with the time. If you catch yourself spending time on something randomly or passively then you can use that time to focus on something you specifically want to work on. More often than not, sacrifices must be made in some areas in order to accomplish other things. I find myself doom-scrolling in the evenings a lot but then remind myself that I can be using this time to do ANYTHING else more productive or educational or meditative or artistic. If you feel tired, self-analyze and see if you are genuinely exhausted and can’t keep your eyes open or are just “tired” and can still do something for a bit of time before you sleep. If it’s the former then just go to sleep and don’t force yourself awake (if there is nothing life-threatening you need to stay awake for). You just have to be willing to set apart the time and do the thing. Writing it down and booking off a time slot for whatever activity helps me a ton because it lets me realize the real amount of time I have left in the day and that as long as I commit to the time slot, I can accomplish what I wanted to in that time. Good luck.

Please keep the faith, Nurses and Caregivers are a gift and must have a gift. You will never be paid what you are truly worth, but please remember that Many people Need you. From a retired County Hospital Sonographer.❤

If at all possible cut back on lifestyle spending-and then cut back to 3 days a week - at least that’s something nurses usually can do. There’s nursing beyond the hospital that’s much less grueling- and/or become an NP and work in an office I’ve done both of these over the years and I’m 65 now and managed to stay sane 🙏 still happily working

@@tarolantern9729 That sounds like great advice. I am just finishing a year of specialist training in care of the elderly and am aiming toward teaching, coaching and mentoring. 😅 I'm even thinking of writing that book myself...

I work in education…there is no uninterrupted time (after students go home, there are emails to parents and curriculum prep for the next day). Add one new routine at a time. Get up early, but prep clothes, coffee, lunch the night before. Get Outside Everyday - walking outside after work will reset your whole body and mind. Read Everyday - start with Proverbs (they are short bits of everyday wisdom) and work your way through the Psalms and repeat (you can read & think about one on your way to &/or from work everyday rather than dwelling on things that are more stressful). Pick one thing and make it routine - we’re not aiming for ‘perfection’ but a better life everyday.

I was there. The problems you are facing cannot be solved at your level. Best wishes for a powerful inner life. Tarolantern's advice is terrific.

Isn't that what routine is?

@@allentubman8052 well... Not in my humble opinion. Since a routine is a fixed thing and life is anything but that. Life is ever changing. But I guess it depends on what your idea of routine is.

Also with having kids keeping you up at night. I always prioritize sleep. If I get uninterrupted sleep, I get up early. If I get awoken in the night, I have no problem sleeping in if possible. Whenever people talk about getting up early, I think the conversation needs to include the amount you need and to prioritize that over getting the morning golden time.

Post them.

I found out who I am and also had children. (grown men now) The two are not mutually exclusive.

And you will discover too late that the world is empty and purpose is in creating a family.

Good luck w that

Every human being should be able to chose his/her main path .. as far as it is possible . I have two adult children, i am a retired active psychiatrist and i totally get it . If you do not want children it is up to you. Do not listen to guilt speech… of course an adult choice goes with dealing the consequences.

That's true but the problem with working at night is that you have the whole day behind you. It is easier to get tired, easier to procrastinate and easier to say I did enough. When you wake up early that deep work is the first thing you do, it sets you up right for the day. Also with waking up early it is important to go to sleep early and it is the most stoic thing to do because you control when you go to sleep but it is harder to control when you wake up.

​@@bartomiejbrasse6973I am swedish - this seems to be an american "productive" comment. As they say swedes work to live and americans live for work.

@@pereinarolsson3928 Not really. I am Polish-born, leaving in UK. I work full-time job and in the mornings I work on creating comic books. But I've seen a huge improvement in my motivation when I started to do it in the morning than at night. I don't believe having the energy to work on your hobbies is a cultural thing :D

@@bartomiejbrasse6973 No of course not - nothing is static and everything can be changed. For me direction is important. I am coming from farming families since...and born 1957 I am raised in a community fed with the truth that you have to work and work hard. But there is no meaning to run if you run in the wrong direction. When I work with my paintings and my writing it is connected with strong bonds to the farming society where men do not do such things and maybe as a hobby but ABOSLUTELY not as your living. It goes very deep - but can be changed. Good luck with your morning habits - I will stay active in the evening because I am wired like that.

The ancient Greeks had no running water, no electricity, threat of being killed by invaders. I believe the stoic philosophy can help with your First World problems.

@@adjbob56 I didn't say it could not help, just that when alienation is on is creeping under your skin, it's not that easy. Furthermore, your comparaison is not fair. It eludes the biggest challenge of stoicism, wich is trying to reach ataraxia, by becoming One with the Kosmos. But the situation then and now have nothing in common but us, humans. Today - and this conversation proves partially my point - we no longer have boundaries between us and the world. We are always connected, always available, always submitted to ads, to emails, etc ; we seem challenged to be able to concieve any other point of view other than "work or die" ; but that also is no more personal than our online interactions. We define ourselves with jobs, but at the same time admit that we cannot think of an alternative. We alienate ourselves so deeply it seems ludacrus to believe there is an alternative. And i think, this society of comfort is one of the reasons for it. It suppresses our sens of purpose. We have the means to eat, and freedom on an individual level, but no drive to do anything with it anymore. So it can help with our* First World problems, but it's not as simplified as you want to suggest.

@@dagleonardsson Don't overthink it. Chill, and focus on what is in your control.

Instead of focusing on what you don't have, focus on what you do have. Namely, that your basic survival needs are being met; food, water, shelter. You have somewhere to sleep and somewhere to wash. At least you're not homeless on the streets. The main challenge you face, at present, is not having enough money to improve your lifestyle. What steps do you need to take to improve your income, that is within your control? Training, Job hunting skills, interview techniques, negotiation skills, communication skills. Effort involves us stepping outside our comfort zones. No one is going to give you what you want. You have to put in the effort to make your own opportunities. Good luck.

Dag, good comment. My son has been dealing with the same pressures over the last few years. I don’t have much to help with this but keep trying and using any tools you can to hang in there. Good luck moving forward.

Agreed. It’s about being intentional with what you do with your time, it shouldn’t matter what time you do it. Isn’t the whole video about being flexible with routine??

The thought of people actually being grateful for this absurdity of a sales pitch used to be funny. It has now become... disturbing.

Nobody needs a cold plunge. In fact it would be very unstoic to need a polluting machine to train your willpower in unnatural cold water. Just walk barefeet or something.
