In this lesson we'll be talking about your sleeping habits. First, let's discuss why it's important. You sleep dictates how much energy you have for the day. If you sleep enough, you will have more energy to work. If you don't sleep enough, you won't have energy to work. This can affect your productivity now, so you have bad sleeping habits. How do we fix it? Well, you can wake up at the same time every day and go to bed at the same time every night. At first, this will be difficult, but slowly this will become a routine and it'll be easy. Now, preferably want to aim for seven to 9 h of sleep.

Your purpose determined what you're going to do, and how you will do it. Please take some time and really think about what your purpose is. Then continue on to the next lesson. 6. Daily Goals: Hey guys, welcome to my fifth lesson. In this lesson we'll be talking about daily goals. First of all, our daily goals. Daily goals are many goals you accomplish every day that will help you achieve your major goal. Let's go over some examples. First, you want to create a checklist of goals you want to accomplish every day. On the checklist can be anything you want. It can be making your bed, sitting and working. Whether it'd be through school or your job, reading, running your errands or anything else. Now at the end of your goal, it's really important that you write complete. This shows that you've done everything you need for the day. After each activity has been completed, makes sure to write a check mark next to it. Now this is important because when your day is coming to an end, you won't need to ask yourself if you're productive. Instead, you can look at the checklist and see everything you've done. Now this is a great method to implement in your daily routine because they can show you how productive you are and how much work you've gotten done. 7. Instant and Delayed Gratification: Hey guys, welcome to my sixth lesson. In this lesson we'll be talking about instant gratification. First, let's discuss what is instant gratification. Instant gratification is the enjoyment of doing something that's easy. That can be scrolling through social media, playing video games, or watching shows. Our aim is to reduce instant gratification and commit to delayed gratification. And that has the enjoyment of doing something that requires hard work. Now, wildcards, hard work. That can be reading, exercising, or developing and learning a new skill. The more you challenge yourself to more you'll grow. Our aim is to distance ourselves from our comfort zones. Now, this will take time, be patient and try out for a month. In this short amount of time, you will see how much you've grown. Now, delaying gratification will lead you to better and healthier habits. This will ultimately lead you to be more productive and look forward to harder work. 8. Creating a Routine: Hey guys, welcome to my seventh lesson. In this lesson, we'll be talking about creating a routine. Now, creating a routine is important because it keeps it consistent and ensures you will be productive everyday. Your routines to be based on your responsibilities for the day. From the time you wake up to the time you go to sleep, you should know what you need to do. Now, if you have an event or appointment that comes up, you need to plan ahead to ensure that you'll be productive and you will accomplish everything on your routine. Planning ahead can be changing something from one time to another. Now all of this is important because in the next lesson, we'll be talking about our class project and how you will get a chance to build your own schedule. 9. Class Project: Hey guys, welcome to the class project. In this class project you will be building your own schedule. And your schedule you will include activities you do and the time you do them. I've attached a file of my own schedule so you can get an idea of where and how to start. I've also attached another file you can use to build your own schedule. If you're not comfortable using a file I attached, you can write your schedule on a piece of paper or anywhere else you feel comfortable. Now your schedule is not supposed to look like mine. These are your schedules and its purpose is to show you how much responsibility you have or how much extra time you have. And you can use the extra time to be more productive. Now, I can't wait to see all your schedules and make sure to look up further comments. I will post on them. 10. Working Environment: Hey guys, welcome to my eighth lesson. In this lesson we'll be talking about creating a good working environment. You're working environment should promote three things, concentration, focus, and productivity. Now your workspace should only be used for work. And the only mindset you need is I am going to be productive and accomplish all of my work. One thing that helps me is keeping my goals visible. I do this by writing my goals on a piece of paper and sticking it up on the wall or anywhere around me that's visible. I recommend this because anytime you feel tired or unmotivated, you can look at your goal and see why you are working so hard. Senior goes constantly will promote you to work harder and increase your determination to succeed. 11. Reducing Distractions: Hey guys, welcome to my ninth lesson. In this lesson, we'll be talking about distractions, specifically how to minimize distractions. Distractions can come in many different forms. It could be your phone, your family, or friends. Now personally, what strikes me is my phone. So our focus will be avoiding technology. Now when working, you can keep your phone on do not disturb in a different room or on airplane mode. I personally put my phone on airplane mode with it behind me and the screen facing down. Now, if you can't disabled notifications for personal reasons, I recommend you face your phone down and keep it out of sight. That way if there's a notification, you can hear it, but the screen lining up will not distracting. Now this method helped me and I know it will help you. Reducing your phone usage while working will significantly increase your productivity. 12. Work Duration: Hey guys, welcome to my tenth lesson. In this lesson we'll be talking about work duration. Now what is worth duration? Work duration is demo of time spent on work in a single day. Here are a couple of methods I use to increase my work duration. The first method is to work for 3 min. And after the 3rd minutes are over, take a five-minute break. Now, after the five-minute break is over with Pete, you're 30 min cycle. Do this for as long as you like or until you've completed all of your work. The second method is to work for 45 min and take a five to ten-minute break. You want a longer one that have a longer break this time because you are working for longer. Now repeat this every four to 5 min until you've completed your work or your feature set time. Now the third method is to work for 1 h. Now, if you can handle longer, longer amounts of work, this is the method I recommend. Now after you work for 1 h, take a ten-minute break, and then after your ten-minute break, repeat that 1 h works. Now the fourth and final method is to work for 90 min or an hour and 3 min and take a 15 to 20 minute break. Now, every time you break, you have a 15 to 20 minute break. Make sure you get a snack or strategy because 90 min is a long time and it repeat that 90 minute walk cycle after your break. Now you can choose any one of these and implement it into your schedule. Or you can slowly work your way up from the first method all the way to the fourth, whatever is most convenient for you and your schedule. 13.
