1. Introduction: Why is it so hard to make
a change in your life? Why is it so hard to build a habit that is a good one
and break a bad habit. Why does it feel impossible to stick to things that you
always wanted to stick to? Why do you seem to fail every time we actually will
transform your life. It's because you haven't been taught the right
way of building, the skill of discipline
when you practice the right way of building
or discipline when you try to push
yourself to new limits, new plates, every single day, your whole life is going
to absolutely transform. In this Skillshare class,
I'm going to teach you exactly how we can
build a step-by-step, the skill of discipline
so that you can completely eliminate
procrastination from your life. But this is only going to work if you are going
to print the work, my exam at Khan, I'm gonna be your
class teacher in this culture glass and
buckle your seat belt. And let's dive into the
valuable content. Let's go.
2. Being Disciplined will Change Your Life: Alright, listen number one, my story of how being visible
and completely transformed my life so that I can exactly explain you how it's going
to do the same ears as well. As you can see, I
have my computer here because I'm going
to look at my Sometimes my notes so that I can deliver the best content
hopefully possible. So I started on a self-improvement
basically 23 years ago. And even before that, I always, always want to
make a change in my life. I would tell myself this Monday, I'm starting this and this is my workout when this might,
this is what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna change my life,
were starting in 2020, like it was probably
like December. And I told him I
told myself, yeah, we're gonna do this
in 20 twenty one, twenty two, twenty two. Maybe 21212 is in myself
improvement cycle. So it's like now it's close
to Melbourne. Years ago. I would always tell myself, I'm going to do this at the
beginning of this month. I'm gonna do this on Monday. So we're starting this, this is exact plan, but I'm gonna do, I'm gonna do all these habits, Reading, journaling, meditation, like gratitude, building my discipline,
building my focus, getting better grades,
building my body, building my channel, building
all these different things. I always told myself
that I'm going to make this big change. And I might have tried
this maybe more than a 100 times over to two years. Probably. I didn't succeed
at all because I was going at the wrong way
of building discipline. And then I learned
the right approach, which is progressive overload when I talk about all
of this in the class, but I learned the
right approach. So let me explain you
kinda like what happened. No matter how much
waited I was and it didn't matter how bad that
I wanted that change. I just couldn't make
it happen because I was using the wrong strategies. I would start an
exercise program. I will start a new
training program and quit like after a month. In a month with an
exercise program, you're not going to see a lot
of results, to be honest, I would start meditating
and I use this app meditate or I use it that like miniature PI, guess,
like those apps. And I was like my street
was like three days. I would do like three days
of meditation and just stop because I just
couldn't make them stick. I would sort of new journal. I would buy myself a new
journal and tell myself like, this is what I used
to do like a lot. I would buy my son Joel and say, okay, sorting this journal, I'm going to be more
productive and I do all these things and I
couldn't do them at all. And the reason why
was because it was just using the wrong strategies. I have like now, it doesn't literally a dozen journals
that are like half written. Even some journals I've used, like five-page
them and I'm done. And now I have my journal,
for example, with me. I always have trouble
with me. And it's like I'm in burlesque
a couple of pages. It's gonna be one of my first, one of my first fully, completely journals
because now I know how consistency and
discipline works. The moment you build yourself, the skill of discipline, the moment you get to that point where you can push yourself, even when you don't
feel like it, the moment you get to that point where you can do the work, even when we don't feel like it. That's the point where your life is going to
completely skyrockets. You can build a
habit. The habit. If you can build the
skill of discipline, you can literally get better
in every area of your life. You can make more money. You can have better
relationships, better health, literally
everything getting a better. Because there are some
different skills like focus, like a discipline,
like confidence. Like these are things that
if you can improve these, your life is going to
completely transform. I think I made a video of like skills that you need
to essentially develop. And one of them is discipline. And now we're going
to talk about how we can build this mental toughness, this discipline. So
let's get started. This lesson was more like, kinda like a small story. Let's get started
and let me teach you exactly how you build
this discipline.
3. Go One Step Further Every Day: Lesson number two, which is go one step further
every single day. So the approach we're going to be using when it
comes to building discipline is not
like all in one day. Like it's not like we're
going to completely transform our lives in one day. It is basically
progressive overload. Now, you might be familiar with the progressive overload term, which is mainly used in the gym, which means that you basically
overloaded the muscle. You're trying to grow
like every single day, that everything,
every single train their basic training day. Which means that when it comes to our discipline,
muscle discipline, the skill of
discipline, we're gonna be training it harder
every single time. Now, there are some things
that you can do physically, mentally, there is going to push your discipline to a next level. But the one thing that I want
you to choose is basically a physical activity that
is kinda like hearts. You, that's more like
a cardio based thing. So you don't you don't get like push-ups because
there is a level, there's like a high
level you can do, you can't do more than ten, and then you're able to do that. So we're going to
choose something like running or skipping
from incipient. Maybe it's for you like running. Maybe you don't like to skip
rope and stuff like that. So choose one activity. Now the things that are
in my mind like running, escaping Visa, two good ones, choose an activity that basically makes you
a little tired, that makes it gets outside
of your comfort zone. And then find the exact
place and exact lake level. They get really tired and
maybe you get really tired at like running for five
minutes with XML speed. What you're gonna do
is they number one, it's gonna be your
30-day challenge. They number one,
you're going to run for five minutes with
x amount of speed, which feel like it
depends where everyone's, I'm not going to
use the numbers, which means that you're gonna
get tired on the first day. And then the next day, the very next day we're
going to come back and do five minutes and 15 seconds. So we can do the calculation for yourself up to like,
what, 30 days, you're going to probably
like triple the amount of time we can probably
want, maybe not trivial. I don't have enough
amount to be honest, but you're going to push
yourself to a new level. You're going to push yourself to places you've never been before. The thing is, every
time you do that, every time it's just gonna get a little higher, a little luck. Florida is just thinking
a little more difficult, which is exactly what
you want because you cannot go from being able
to run for a 4-byte, five-minutes, and
then the next age being able to do
like ten minutes. And you can not do
that consistently. But we're slowly going
to progressively overload the muscles, which means that the muscle, it could be disciplined
when you are pushing yourself to a point
where you are not, you feel like you
can't do anymore. That's exactly what
we're going to go to. Because the discipline, the skill discipline
basically gets incredibly well-trained when
you can make the decision. Do I keep going or
do I just stop? And the moment you can make the decision of yeah, I'm
just gonna keep going. I'm not gonna I'm not gonna think about how I
feel right now. I know my legs are sore. I know I can't really
running running anymore. I'm just going to
keep going until the point I cannot go anymore. So we want to get to that
point as much as possible. And the thing is like when you push herself physically
to these levels, just lying down on your bed and having your phone in your hand and arm them with only thing. I was gonna do a
demonstrate that but having your phone in your hand and just scrolling through Instagram, It's like you can easily
get out of this situation. We can easily pull yourself out, literally pull yourself
out on procrastination. If you can build this
mental toughness because you're going
to tell herself, bro, like I am literally doing this hard thing when
it comes to like, physically, I'm doing
this really hard thing. Oh, please Second, get
up, get out and get myself out of that that
procrastination state. So push herself every single day and go one step
further each day. And that's not literally
one step further. For example, of running 15
minutes, 15 seconds more, skipping 15 seconds for
each day is gonna be a new challenge
each day before you essentially start that
thing that you have to do, that activity that
you have to do, you're going to feel your heart pumping out like
boom, boom, boom. It's like you don't know exactly
if you can achieve that. And that's what we
want to get to. You don't know exactly
if you can achieve that. Technically, you're physically, you're completely capable. But on a mindset
level, who not true, but if you can do that, but you still do that. But you still say, yeah,
I'm just going to do this. I don't care. I'm
just gonna do this. That's the exact way that we want to we want you to get to. And that's the point that I get myself to do
every single day. But after every single
gym session that I have, I'm there skipping my rope. And every time, like
I'm doing that, it's like it's tiring. And every time I'm at
that level it's like every day just harder
and harder and harder. And that's progressive overload. So let's jump into the
lesson number three, which is called
estoppel progress AT. Let's go.
4. How to Actually Stop Procrastinating: Lesson number three, which is how to stop procrastinating. So now, when I think
about it like I can probably talk for hours when it comes to being
procrastination because there is so many different levels when it comes to
your mental game. It's like there
are so many things that we have to
understand in order to completely understand how
procrastination works. But I'm not going
to be dense glass because it's like it's not even just an own Skillshare class when it comes
to procrastination is basically ten different glasses to
understand everything. Because I made a big research when it comes
to procrastination. That's like the only things
that we have to understand that in this part
of this lesson, I'm going to talk about a system that completely
changed the game. For me, I've been a big procrastinator and this system basically completely change for me because it's, it worked like one, like it worked
wonders, to be honest. So let's get into it. Well, I don't want you to
do before you go to sleep every single day is to sit down and plan
the next day out. But in a specific way, use one of those journals
that's like five amps. Exam 78 was like every it's like every hour end is small increments
and you basically plan your day when it
comes to the time. You don't just do
it to dualists. Like dualists are not a
good wage playing days. It's like a really good which completely plan your day out. So you sit down and
you plan your day with a small like one
hour, two hour increments. You tell yourself
looking between these between 56 AM, I'm
gonna do this? Maybe you don't wake
up at that time, I do, but you might you
might look at it like 8900 AM after you plan
your days like that. And then after that, the
next day after you blend it, you try to basically execute
your gaming perfectly. You try to do your
best one comes to seem just sticking
to that blend. And in the evening, after you've accomplished
some of the things, you probably are
not gonna be able to do this perfectly
every single day. Because if you did,
if you would give a few years and you'll be
like a really successful, a really loose as a person. I'm unable to do this like every single day
from vaguely even I'm not able to do this
perfectly any day to be honest. It's like it's
sometimes it's 78 and listen to what the numbers
are a little off to you basically do this and
then you're gonna sit down The next evening
and you're going to give yourself a rating. You'd like, just
like footballers are getting ratings after a game. You literally get
an, a rating ten. And that reading is going
to be probably like, today was a bad day, was like a four out of ten. And the next thing, maybe
it's like a really good day. You give yourself an
eight out of ten. But one thing that you should
be considering, curious, for example, you had one
big task you need to do. And you had like
other small tasks that you introduce that day. You didn't touch the
main task because it's like it's a
little intimidating, like you don't really
want to do that, but it's like the thing being
observed that day. And you get all the small tasks that day is not going to be
higher than like a six out of ten because you didn't do
the main thing that is going to be able to get lucky
eight-hour time reading. So you get the main
point of this. If you did the main thing, for example, today for me, it's 11:30 PM Eastern Turkey and I'm shooting
discussion of glass. The moment I get this done, my, I can say that almost invocation with my
friend right now. Actually, the moment
I can say that, yes, I shot the Skillshare
class and it was pretty good. I'm going to say, yeah, this day was like a
seven out of ten. Because I will be
able to say you easily, this was the main thing. The main thing. Every single day you give
yourself that rating. And after one week, for example, you start doing
this on Monday and after one week on
Sunday, for example, the 70s later, at the
end of that week, you sit down and you basically calculate the average
of that week. So one day you were looking for one day you had
depression row yet later we're like to you
didn't even get up from your bed and the next day you were like
you hadn't worn, which way did you
did look at H you basically get like a cow, an average of that week. And often you have that average, just like the lesson number
two we talked about, which was, as you know, go one step further each
day you get a gold is due. Next week essentially
surpassed that. Harding had surpassed that. Maybe your average was 5.6 week. And that's not a bad
average to be honest. That's like starting
self-improvement sorting to be productive
this out then to be honest. Then the next week, Metronic
hit, for example, six. You're trying to
say, I'm going to do a six out of ten week hopefully. So which means that your
days are like six out of ten on average, which
is pretty nice guys. But the thing that you
have to reconsider here is you've got to
be objective then. Like you cannot let yourself the moment you
so blanks yourself. Like what are you
gonna be successful? You're eating light yourself. You're seeing that, well, today was looking
five out of ten, but I want to get
surpassed last week. So listen if it doesn't
relate to my brand because, you know what's
happening, you know how, what you're doing in
your life every week, try to meet your last week. And if you don't want
to really do this, It's like a little more
intimidating because this basically pushes you outside
of your comfort zone. This basically pushes you to do things they don't
want to normally do. Like, if I wasn't
using the system, I probably wouldn't shut this shoot disclosure
class this evening. I probably wouldn't because
I'm trying to be honest. I just wanted to sleep. And I'm shooting this right now because this is
what I have to do. To be honest, I wasn't
using the system. I probably wouldn't be
doing this right now. So it's working, it's
working really well. And if you don't
want to do this, well you can do is if you
don't want to use a system, we're going to do is
another thing which is identify every single week, just sit down and set goals
for the next week and then find those goals for
like walking on Monday, I'm going to do this
and this and this, the Tuesday, this
and this and this. You don't have to
rate yourself and get like an average leaving. But it's like this is
another way for you to plan. Your next thing is the moment
you start using the system, I know for a fact that the
minimum that's going to happen is you're going to
basically improve your productivity
by a good amount. And that's basically
it. Let's jump into the lesson number four.
5. How to Finally Build Your Self Control: Alright, so lesson number four, which is how to build
your self-control. Self-control is basically
all about your environment. It's all about your environment. So in lockdown, in currency
like 23 years ago, I exercised pretty
much every single day and I was 16 I was 16 years old and I had
like dumbbells next to my bed and I would exercise every single
day ever loved to 0. And the reason why I did that is because I get
nothing else to do. And the dumbbells,
we're just right there. And I could just get them do like some Charles suppresses, some push-ups, squats, and
it's just right there. It's all about your environment. And if I had to go to a gym which was like 30
minutes from my house, I probably would like
exercise once a week, maybe even like top
stuck two times a week. But the fact that I had those
symbols and next to my bed, I could do whatever I wanted. I could do exercise
whenever I wanted. It just happen like that. And when it comes
to environment, your environment is a
literally the biggest thing. Uncontrolled diets. So I have my videos
for my good friend. And he was complaining to
me about that he'd bang fact that he gained so much
weight and also comes in. I didn't do I didn't
know much about die, but was just explained to him. Okay. Where are you eating? Like what's the thing that gives you like most
calories they said like eating like a lot of chocolate and a
lot of junk food. And we kinda like
understood that his father was white allele like
chocolate to tell him because they thought that's like
he he wanted chunk. There's a lot and
he bunch of women. I told him just tell her
father not to buy junk food to house your house salad that you're not going to have
any junk but at your home, which means that you're
not going to go out and go to grocery store just
for a bar of chocolate. And they kinda like
make this happen. And it was like he lost a
good amount of weight in the last few months just
because of one small change. He told his father that I don't like chocolate
in more than once. Let's just do it then he said that early,
okay, no problem. It's not like that to smooth
things will completely, only reminder will completely
transform your discipline. So I'm going to explain
this once three, which I don't really want
to, but let's just do it. When it comes to habit change, the key is basically, if doing the good habits is easier than doing
the bad habits, your complete heavy chain system is going to change
because the reason why we are on our bones so much is that because your
phone is in your pocket. It's like it takes 2.5th to pull it out and
start scrolling. That's why we're on our
phones all day long. The reason why people watch a lot of TVs that I don't
want you to tell me. It's like the
motors right there. You take the multiple opposite, you're just sitting down
because it's easy to do. But when it comes
to going for a run, you're gonna do so many steps,
you're going to get ready. You're going to probably put
on some clothes for running. You gotta get a running shoes
and just go off to run. So many steps. That's why people choose generally watching
TV over running. It is all about
your environment. And that's, again, it's
the same when it comes to, for example, diet as well. It is easy to order
food from outside. You order food, you get it. It's more, a little
more unhealthy probably because it's
like, boom, boom, boom. It's ten minutes.
It's in your house. Instead of getting up,
even cooking rice, it's like 30 minutes broke
and it's much difficult. I mean, it's more healthy, but it's like you don't do that because of your environment. So there was this via game gold, stronger, a stronghold,
a stronghold crusader, which was like this
was a game that was popular back seven years ago, maybe, maybe when I say popular, it might not be looking
at popular as well. Why was like 12 to 13? I played this game
with my cousins and it will look don't hedge. I download this game, Becky. Yeah, like two years ago
at the same bank again, I was like I'm just
gonna play it a little bit like
every single day, like guess, I wasn't doing
anything like usual. I wasn't doing any
businesses. I'll just do like a normal student,
successful students. And I just wanted
to add like this, because in fact it
was locked down. I just want to do like
play a little caves. And I started playing this game a little too
much to be honest, because even between lessons, online lessons,
or just get on to this game is played myself and
I wouldn't play it online. But my addiction was
started building up. I thought to myself,
The reason why I'm bringing this gate is
because between lessons I have a 15-minute break
and I'm already on the computer because
it's like an online lesson relates
that Zoom lessons. I just can't log
into gaming display. So what can I do?
What am I gonna do? I'm just, am I just going
to do like dumbbells, like cleans up presses? Know probably because
the game is right there. I literally delete it the game and then I
deleted the steam. Steam basically two which
we use to download games. And what happened is that I literally downloaded them back again to calculate the time
it took me to download them. And it was like 1516 minutes. So when I downloaded all the mic back downward and
back them again, It's like I'm not gonna
download them for 1516 minutes just to play and then download them,
just bleed them again. It's not going to happen. So what I did instead of that, it was deleted them and I started like getting
my dumbbells, Michelin motivational videos. And it's just exercising
me feel lessons. I would like 50 pushups
between lessons in 15 minutes. Now I can do 50
person wants that. But back then it just do that. The reason why I was
playing that game was because it's
easy to do that the moment you can change
your environment to a point where doing the right habits
during the right-hand is easier than doing
the bad habits. You could you go, for example, do not charge your phone
and next to your bed, which means that I'm
going to be on your phone all my level lamp on what? You're going to scroll
through social media for 30 minutes before you go to
sleep, which is not good. Georgia from, for example, maybe on the other side of the room. And if you can, if you don't
use your phone as an alarm, is chargeable in another room and put a book next to your bed. And when you're in your bed, you're like, I want
asleep really? Does this. Let us wait for it a little. So now, doing the good habit is much easier than doing it. And you're going
to read much more. You're going to probably get five times more than you would normally read it because
it's like it's right there. You will read what comes to
be a better self-control. If you want to control yourself, you gotta make the habits
that you want to quit harder. And you want to make the
habits that you want to stick too much easier to do. And this is exactly
exactly how we can navigate your habit change,
design, your environment. For you to win. Do not desire to remind me. And for failure, design your
environment for success. Exactly what's number for, how to build your self-control. Let's jump into
lesson number five.
6. Delayed Gratification vs Instant Gratification: Alright, listen number five, which is lead gratification
versus instant gratification. So when it comes to
self-improvement, self-improvement is basically all about delayed gratification so that we can enjoy the fruits of your
labor in the future. It is basically all about
a war that is going on between instant gratification against the electrification. The modern rule is
basically promoting isn't replication everywhere. And delayed
gratification is exactly what we need to
become successful. I mean, it's not
enjoyable to wake up at five AM to do some
actually like deep work and stuff like that because
it's just difficult than I think there's a quote that's like it's
harder to wake up. It's hard to wake up and go for a run when
you're in sub sheets. I think someone said that. It's like, Yeah, that's true. So Southern Vermont is basically delaying
gratification so that you can enjoy the
fruits of your labor. And building discipline is
that it is exactly like that. So when it comes to
building discipline, it's going to take a
good amount of work. It's got to dig around works until we can get to a
point where you can say, Yes, I can, regardless
of my emotions, regardless of how I feel that regardless of what
happened that day, regardless of if my girlfriend
broke up with me or not, I can now I'm at a point now where I can sit
down and do my work. I don't care where
emotions I'm just going to I can just use my logic, sit down usually
when discipline and work until we get to that point, it's going to be a little hard. But what we're gonna
do is we're going to delay the gratification. Because at the moment, in a few months you can
build that discipline. The level that's going to
completely change your life. And something that's going
to completely change your life is going to be hard
to achieve, to be honest. So this is exactly what we need. If we sum up someone
from it in one sentence, it is absolutely unique
to delay gratification so that you're going to enjoy the fruits of your
labor in the future. When it comes to
building discipline, it's just painful,
It's just difficult. But I know for a fact that the moment you learn
how to do this, delayed gratification
is the way to go if you can stop partying, drinking, doing all
those things that are gonna make you less
productive person. Just give yourself a
viewers of hard work as a young person and then you will have the rest of your life. And much, I don't want
to say an easier life, but to be honest,
obviously a better life. And this is not like a promise
I'm going to give you. Do this. Obviously we're
all going to be this note. If you put in the work,
you'll get the results. And that is basically this was looking more
like a short lesson, just a reminder view with that. Exactly. Yeah. Lake or vacation is what we're
going to be focusing on. The reason why you're
watching this class. Instead of, you could
be watching TikToks, you could be watching Instagram, you'll see could be on YouTube, just scrolling through debates. And you're just not
doing that here on this class right now because you want to
delay gratification. You want to become a more
successful person in future. And you're not a class about
something like we're doing, like you're watching your
classmates building discipline. I respect you for it
that to be honest and absolutely I
respect for them. So let's jump into
bolus and number six, finish what you start.
7. Finish What You Start.: Alright, listen number six,
finish what you start. And I'm going to begin
this lesson with a story. And it's a weird sort
of like let me explain. So if few months ago, a few months ago came
before this summer, I went to a concert
with my friends and that's through at
the time I was like trying to be realistic when
I was trying to be like, you're really focused in
my dialed in my routine. And I went to this
concert with my friends and I was supposed to
leave like it like 910. So that's like I would be
able to go to at least like beta-globin to get my sleep and wake up early the next day. And the constant
was pretty good. So I wanted to say
there for a long time. What happened was I
stayed I told myself, yes, you can stay here
as long as possible. As long as you want. You can see here and
enjoy this content with their friends with
one condition. And the condition
is that tomorrow you're going to wake
up at 06:00 AM. I I think I will
go to flex exam. I'm my plan was to
wake up at 06:00 AM. You can see you can still
wake up at 06:00 AM. You're still going
to go to Virginia. It's still going to do everything they were
supposed to do. But if you are going to do that, you can steam that concept floor until the end of the concert. And I told myself, okay, Yeah, I'm going to see here, I'm gonna enjoy this moment
with my friends. I'm going to be present.
I'm just gonna enjoy this and shout out loud who are
friends like this concert. And then I'm gonna go back
and go back to my home. And the next day we're gonna do our workouts are
like deep works, our morning routines,
100% focused. Again, I'm not gonna,
I'm not gonna give a, so the thing is I'm not going to compromise on my morning routine because that is key
to our productivity. So that's what happened
the next morning. I woke up at 06:00 AM, but
as you can probably guess, I wasn't feeling the best when I woke up at 06:00
AM and I was feeling a little rusty from the last day and night and I was
like, It doesn't matter. I'm still going to
pull up my work. I do my morning routine, I did my journaling, I
didn't my meditation, and then I sit down to
my work and I did my like Deep Work which is
what I like two hours every single morning and
works like I didn't feel it. It was not one of the
really productive it works, but I kinda like kinda dumb. And then after that I
didn't like some brown, had some breakfast
and then I went to the gym and that was
my leg pull day, which means that I
was like training back in bicycle,
stuff like that. I just went whole workout routine and after
like ten minutes, I realized that, yes, I do not have the power, I do not have the energy
that I normally happen. Just gotta understand
that because, I mean, I didn't sleep that really well. I didn't really do
much in the morning. Say I don't know,
I'm not feeling it and it didn't work out. I was supposed to do
one more exercise. And I was like, No,
I'm not doing that, bro, I'm really tired. So I went down to
the changing room. I was getting I was
gonna get changed I0 and I will look at
myself in the mirror. And when I told myself is no, you got to finish
what you started. I don't care if you cannot lift as much as you normally would. I don't care if you feel
tired and I'm guilty of that, like not feeling it, you are going to finish your workout because
that's where you are. You're disciplined person. You've been working on
this for some time. You're just going to
do that. And I land. There was this guy next
to me when I was there. And I was like looking at
when something like this. I was just speaking
to myself and I had like my headphones
or something like that. And the guy would probably
thought that it was a weirdo. So I started like just the tab was running because I like to think when the tab is running and then I just
turn off the taps, went upstairs and my exercise
and finished your workout? Yes. It wasn't the best workout ever, but I again, got it done. The thing is when it comes
to building discipline, you've got to finish
what you started. Like, I'm going to
talk about like some small things right now. What happened is a lot at my house is that I, for example, go to bed at like 939
trophic July at 10:00 PM. And it's like for my family,
it's like that's early. They go to sleep, for
example, at 12th midnight. But for me it's like
I like when I'm in my routine like ten
PM is a good time. And it's like my mom tells me, you've gotta get
thrush out at 951. And I'm like, I'm supposed to meditate and then go to sleep. And I'm like, oh, I gotta
do dads on my garlic, I start complaining and voting. Instead of doing that, It's literally a two-minute
job. Two-minute tasks. Boom, get it out, go downstairs, just put the trash out, come back to list. You're done. Instead of mourning and completing
those small things, finish what you started. You simply complain
for two minutes as being like a
bigger move down. Just do it. Boom,
boom. You got it done. For example, when it
comes to washing dishes, let's say you ate a
meal and you have like a platelet plug
just for granted, like a spoon, which is
a boom, you're done. Why are you letting that
until the evening and you have like a pilot dishes that you have to do at the evening. And you don't want to do that. When it comes to
cleaning your room, like Jordan Peterson talks
about this all the time. When it comes to
cleaning your room. What you have to do at
the end of the day. It even if your
title like just take three to five minutes just to organize your
room a little more, disclaimed a little more,
and then just go to sleep. Boom, boom, boom. We have much more power. We gambled, it's speeding. That's exactly what we want. So small things like this are
gonna be easily determined. Your character. Are you a person
who was like, yeah, I I ate but I don't
want to do the dishes. That makes it feel
like a weak person. That makes it feel
like a weak person. When you're like, I don't
want to thrash out. It's like I got to do
that in the morning. Like I'm not gonna do that now. I mean, I did in the morning.
Just do a two-minute. They've done this. Is that what you're
supposed to do? So two things that I've
talked about when you do these small things and when
you do these things well, when you finish, what you
start builds momentum. Momentum is exactly what you
need to be. More productive. Momentum is basically, this
becomes a snowball effect. You do like you wake up, you
don't want to do anything. You force yourself
to take a shower. Authentication where you
feel like you're doing, you can use like something's,
you organize your room. Now we have a more clean space. Now we can do more
now we can read it. After you read, you read more like motivational
stuff and you're now, you're ready to, for example,
do some deep breathing. Use basically progressively overload the things that you do, which means that exactly, That's where you need
to be more productive. You need a snowball effect. And this is a way
you can do if you finish weekend starts starch. And the second thing is whenever you let these small things
like you don't do them, you feel like a weak person. You feel like you feel like you feel like an
undisciplined person. If you look at weak man
and you don't want to do that like you want to feel
like you are really good. You want to feel like you
can achieve anything. And these small things
like small tasks, make you feel like
that we're enough. When you eat a
laggard like dishes, just sit there and you don't do them for
like two minutes. Maybe even thirty-seconds, men, you could just do
the thirty-seconds. It's like, yes, this is the change that
you need to go through. So finish what you started
Lesson number six, Let's jump into the
lesson number seven.
8. The 40% Rule: Lesson number four,
which is the 40% rule. My friends at 40% rule is
probably one of the things that you really need to
understand if you want to build the muscle at the build
of the skill discipline. So the rule is this, whenever you are physically
at a point where you say, I can't do this anymore at all, you are at 40% of your physical capabilities if
you have resembled running. And when we say, I can't
even take it another step, I'm like don't completely
you are at physically 40%. They're not 161790, like
you're not going to die. Row it is, you're literally
at 40% or capabilities. There's, this guy was
called David Garland's. You've probably heard
about it, called the toughest mental life. And he's this guy that runs these hundreds of miles like he doesn't he's a 100
miles thick ones, maybe 200 miles at ones in
like 40 hours for example. And he's little bit
toughest guy alive. And he I think has the world
record to the most pull-ups, most part fix that most pull-ups in a certain
amount of time. I don't remember exactly
what the time was. Now I'm going to play like
a really interesting story, which is, and which
happened in kick boxing. So I've been doing somebody
proxy for like 34 months and I'm slowly getting
to a good level, I guess like I'm slowly
getting more competent. I'm slowly being able to attack my bonus in the rain
and stuff like that. I'm going to jump point. And my working hours
generally look like this. It's like it started
with a warm-up, normal like 510
minutes and then I do whatever that listen
with my co-chairs. Like for example, I'm like practicing question mark is for example, I don't
know what that is. I know what that is. It's like, for example,
that wasn't as that. And then after the lesson we do like three to five
rounds of sparring. Sparring. It's basically we pull both
have gloves on and we're like just ******* for like three
minutes with three sets, three or five
rounds for example, it's like 15 minutes interval. Then what we do is we do
a kick boxing cardio. And she boxing cardio
is basically this you with a heavy punching bag. The code basically told
the court reasonably hugs the punching bag and
you punched back and it's not like you
don't use it 100% ours. Left, right, left,
right, left, right. Just go really fast. And those punches are
not like punches. They're going to
maximum one out. Who's punches? I'm just touching the back. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. It's just about cardio. So you did the spotting session, you're just doing Cardinal. And on average object a really good spotting
session of tree-like, really good like
really tough workout. I can do like 200 probably in a set and we do like
three sets in total. It's like maybe I
can do to honor the first one then one seventy
one hundred and seventy. Maybe 115115. Third 1 it's like I can do maybe not probably
not like 600 bunches. And then my coach told me
one day, a few weeks ago, he told me, in this
lesson we're going to hit at least 301 round. Wow, that's a lot. And told me I'm
going to give you a sign when you hit four or 300. I'm gonna leave it like
this. Well, you got it. Okay. The first one that
I didn't like 200 and it does the first round of n like 200 bunch of the leg
lying down on the canvas. I'm like, I'm really
tired actually. I thought it was
started to be honest. And then we waited
like 345 minutes just healing from those punches. And I got back and he said, The moment you eat 300, I'm gonna give you a sign,
but until you see the sun, you do not stop. He told me you're not going
to stop and it doesn't matter how freaking tired you feel,
you're gonna keep going. Because at the
moment you had 300. I'm gonna give you this. And then I started
in the first minute, the first 100 bunches,
easy like you didn't, but you do them. The next 100 probably
is a little more tough, but I bet tired, I got tired. I got to level up my
counterexample probably like, I'm just keeping going
but I'm like asking him, Are we there yet? Like how many punches on left? He doesn't tell me
how many bunch little bit or do you just keep going? They were a little
more with a little more in probably a minute. I asked him like five times, how many points are left, how much do I have
to keep going? And you told me like, it's a little more,
just a little more. I'll make undulate see design. I am not going to stop. So the moment like
I literally go, I have never pushed
myself that heartbroken. I have never watched
myself though. I'm like I'm like
punching the bag, but I'm not really
feeling my arms. My arms feel like
their weights that I have to hold up
to touch the bag. Get again back to your garden position and then
just touch again. It's like I'm really tired. And I truly believe
that I don't think I've ever put myself
that before at all. And he gives me, it
gives me a sign. I literally collapsed
to the ground. I clubs were not unlike this. Breathing really hard. And then he tells me
this, you did 452. So I was gonna do 300 and I thought that
I was gonna do 300. And he tells me you did 452. I will never forget the
number until the day I die. I was normally able to do like two hundred and two
hundred was like tough. I didn't want more than
twice in that to 452. And if he didn't stop me, if you said like skip one
yellow one, which skeletal War? I probably would've
gotten like 500. I probably, I probably wouldn't. Because you push
yourself really hard. It's all about mental. Like I mentally thought
that 200 was my limits. Until that day I felt that two hundred two hundred
twenty ish wasn't my limit. And then I basically broke
the limit completely. And I basically show that I am capable of much more than that. What if you're running,
you're skipping rope and you're like, I
can't do this anymore. There are so many heights
that you can reach. There are so many
more levels again, like you can really go
just so much further. I didn't do it 452. And the Nabeel, what? I tried to do that again, I just couldn't guess. I didn't have my gosh telling
me X is a little more, just a little more
unique than accountable. You need that partnership. So that's basically the story. When you think
that you are done, you are not done. That's why you can step go
one step further each time. That's why, for example,
we talked about this in the lesson number two, I guess you can push yourself
more every single day. And that's progressive overload. That's exactly what we're
gonna build discipline. So let's jump into the
lesson number eight.
9. Routine, Routine, Routine...: Alright, let's number eight, which is titled
routine, routine. Routine. My friends. The way to become productive is basically going
through a routine. Routines are the
most powerful weapon you have when it comes to
become more productive. So let me explain. It's like loyalties with
me. Let me explain. I think when I look at
my life last 23 years, the moment that I was
the most productive was probably the three-month
periods where I had a really, really strict morning routine as well as a really strict
evening routine. So when I'm, when people ask me like how do you become so productive like
alright comes up, how do I build this discipline? Little tell them first
we'll create yourself a 10-minute morning routine and attempted to
evening routine. First, b will become someone who is able to do that consistently
for seven days. And then you make those
routines a little longer, a little longer,
a little longer. And I literally got to a point where I would start
my morning routine is like 5600 AM and my mortgage
and ended like one PM. I have six our morning routine. And that morning Tim was like waking up,
journaling, reading, meditating, and then doing my 32 hours of deep
work for my business. And they go into the
gym, having breakfast, go to gym, shelby, keep oxygen. It's like I had a Ruto morning G and I would never
break that routine. And it's like 01:00 PM. I will be able to
easily tell myself, yeah, If I literally
did nothing. This today are to 01:00 PM. Monday was actually
a pretty good day because my mortgage
was crucially, it was really,
really productive. And my evening, which it
will literally started like five PM and my evening Jordan, like nine PM, me go to sleep. So I would just have
them one-to-five VM, just a break where I wouldn't be as much productive because
I didn't have my routine. If I didn't go to school to do this sort of probably just
make moment-to-moment longer. My old he would
become a routine. Because routines are
literally the key, the key to productivity. And the reason why building, we are building this discipline. We want to get to
that point where you can do these routines
that effortlessly. So the thing that the reason why I needed
discipline to do my whole team was I would
wake up at 06:00 AM and I would not have them which wish to wake
up at 06:00 AM. And I use discipline
to wake up. It's exam. I would literally get up
like that was disciplined. And after that flow state, I'm in routine, boom, boom, boom, the same thing
every single day and I really started enjoying
that drumbeat. I'm in cornea with my
friend, reunification. And it's like I want to
go back to my routine. I wanna go back to my home. And I do want to say
it the position, but as long as long as
we're on this, yeah, when I want to go back into my old team and I like my gene, the moment you can start
enjoying things that you do, that you cold work is like who you are there
man, right there. So the weight for each
become more practice to become a discipline is not
to fight the uphill battle, like the uphill battle of trying to be disciplined
every single day, trying to be disciplined
with everything that you do. It's like if you can
build a routine, they can follow religiously, followed with no hesitation. You there, but you don't have to completely uphill battle. This is the problem
with most people. Most people tried to
fight the uphill battle. They wake up late. They what they do
is they wake up in one PM when I'm
completely done with a six-hour morning
routine and they tried to become productive or
to one PM entered say, yeah, i'm, I'm going to plan
my day after I wake up. I'm gonna play, maybe
I'll pray we go. It doesn't work like
that. My friend. When you wake up with no plan, you're going to scroll for
on Instagram for 30 minutes. Boom, it will get lost. The first petal is
going to be much harder for you to
win the Cold War, which is your day if
you lost first battle. So routine, routine, routine. If you can build
yourself a consistent to our morning routine
after you wake up, before you go to sleep,
before we go to school name, before we go to work, before you do anything else,
before others wake up. Wow, that's incredibly fun. You can just stick
to that religiously. You are literally, they're the most productive
time that I had was, as I said before, six
our morning routine. I mean, that included
Jim as well as two hours of deep work
breakfast as well, but I still like to call
that like a six-hour. Sounds cool. So build that with Gene. And I literally
cannot wait to get to go back to my routine because
I just enjoyed so much. That's top-level productivity. That's what you need to do this, but there's a lot of gene
and just do that like that. So lesson number h
gluteal Jimmy's name, exactly how we build discipline, exactly how we got
more productive. Let's jump into
the lesson Number nine, using external systems.
10. Build Yourself External Systems: Alright, listen to
moraine, which is, you're utilizing external
systems or friends. Discipline is cool like this. That's what we're trying
to essentially build up. But the thing is, you got to have external systems that are gonna keep you
in checking them easily. If you don't have
installed systems, maybe a coach, maybe an accountability partner media
system that you're using. If you don't have these things, just relying on your discipline is not gonna be good enough. Even if you're at a
point where you can say Yes, I can do
work whenever I want. It's still, your environment
is might be able to trash over like people you hang out with,
might be trashed. It's like there
are so many things you can control it using an external system is
going to be 100% of thing that you need to do
when it comes to this. Number one, my
friend, number one, every single day doesn't
matter, like no hesitation. If I plan the next day
for just a minute. If I sit down and
say, yeah, this is what we're gonna
do after we go. And then I have this and this and then ordered
days per month over. Even by doing that, the next thing is
going to be five times more productive
than if I didn't plan anything at all and put
told myself I'm gonna wake up and then get my journal
and then just blend that. I say. I know for a fact
that that's not going to happen to having a calibrated partners
always have a friend who's gonna call you
out on your weaknesses, who's going to call
the album releases? I might've mentioned
this on this glass, like it's been a little
glass texture, to be honest. I probably wouldn't
have shot this glass. If it wasn't for the
guy behind the camera, I would probably sit down and
just like write some stuff. They write the scripts. But I probably wouldn't
get myself to shoot the glass because it's like I was starting today and
I didn't want to do this, but I'd still didn't
because I have a I have someone I
have a friend who had a guy who can I call up brother who just made
me made me clear. Glass. Sounds like now
unbelievably had it gets worse. They come pretty much
at the end of it. I'm really grateful
that I got to do this. So to have an accountable
partner that you can pull out the lateness
problem whenever you are not doing the things
that you're supposed to do, just that person's
going to call you out. I'm paper guy. Like I will
have my journal with me on a vacation on whenever I
go to wherever I go to, I will have a journal with me. My journal is probably
in the next room. And maybe you are a
guy who looks like, maybe you're a person who
likes and productivity apps. Maybe you like like
habit trackers. If you have a truck is
just download them and just track your habits.
Don't go and tell us. Yeah, I'm just just
lumps can ever wake up every single day early. Just track your
habits, your progress. Because the moment you
can start doing that, it's like the game is just gonna be complete different
because you want to do that in order for you
to don't break the chain, like the drawbridge
chains system, you're going to make the
chain as long as possible. The time you're waking up,
like a five-year Lizzy, you're trying to build them
up, picking at least 70, trying to build ended
up like meditation. You do that an outside system. Because if you can utilize
external systems there, when it comes to like, there are some schools
that have electronic level right now and trying
to build more. And when I went, like in some of them are health coaches that are helping me, for
example, keep Boston. I have a coach. I have a coach when it comes
to productivity. And this is exactly
how I made progress. Because there's a person who sees what I'm doing and
gives me elaborate, like really good feedback because I'm using
external systems. If I told myself I'm gonna learn which boxing with just
myself going to a gym. I'm probably not going
to just do that. If I drove myself, I'm going to completely be more productive with just my abilities without new
accountability with that, no coaches, I probably
wouldn't be able to do that. And these are the things that I know basically
about discipline. Let's jump into the conclusion.
11. Conclusion / Class Project: Right now the conclusion as
well as your class projects. Now, you know a good amount of the things that I've learned
over the last 23 years of trying to build
discipline and you know exactly what to do now. So the thing is, if you are not going to take
action from this glass, if you're not gonna do
anything else, if you're not going to change
anything of this glass. Thing is you could have watched
two episodes of friends, two episodes of high-dimensional
mother chip sets of Big Bang Theory
pushes that I like. And you would have gotten
much more entertainment this. And if you're watching
this class as someone who could have used
this time on social media. Just cooling single
instant gratification. It's like you didn't do that. So now it is time
to take action. What I want you to do
as the class project is basically you're gonna
get a pen and paper out doing this right now after
you've watched this last because it's the one more minute and then sit down to do this. You're gonna write
down four things. First one is write down why
you want to build discipline. Why you are so passionate
about building this discipline and changing and completely transforming
your life. And to create yourself a plan of how you are exactly
going to do national. Choose the thing
that you wanna do, choose maybe running
like skipping rope, whatever it is that
you want to choose. And push yourself every single
day like that's the plan. You write down, write
down your plan. I'm gonna do this
every single day. I'm going to progressively overload this through
this level and I'm going to use for 60 days my sixth day challenge,
regular blood. Someone a number three. Number three that you're
going to write down is find someone to keep you accountable
and find that person. You can write this
down. We get true if Epperson and that's gonna be working with the partner
through this journey. And number four,
start right now. Don't tell myself that
I do this tomorrow. We're going to do this
beginning of next year, we're gonna do this
and beginning of next month in September
now for example, my school source
like a few days. I'm not going to tell myself
when I started in one school starts because that's
like any clean start. No, start today
doesn't matter if it's one AM before we
go to sleep today. And thanks so much for being here with me on
this culture glass. I'll see you guys. Hopefully the next one.
