Me: Excuse me do you know where the nearest bus stop is?
Josh: You're going to want to proceed with a linear alignment, actioning your lower limbic system in a stride pattern for approximately 80 breath cycles.
This guy comes up with stupendous answers for everything except the question.
Anything with Sir Waitzkin in it I'll watch a good 7 or 8 times throughout the year. These bite sized chunks are great -- Thanks! Praying for episode 4.3 with Josh! Thanks, Tim!
Greats pieces of advice! I also teach my people to ask the most important questions in their life and release it, and revisit it systematically to brainstorm the answers .. and you’d find it amazing that once you start trusting your unconscious mind for solutions, it’s brilliant at it - and the flow of life becomes so much smoother.
Journaling before sleep and morning page as soon as we wake up! Gotcha~ thank you Tim!🙏😄👍💪👏🇺🇸
sounds so easy but its sooooooooooooooooooooooooo hard
who here remembers Josh's course in the Chessmaster series. Man, this guy's voice is so evergreen.
30 second recap:
Tim: How do you structure a performers day?
Josh: Well there is no "one size fits all", people do best at different times during the day.
Tim: How can we know what time is best for us?
Josh: We usually can know if we are a little more observant. I will say that one thing I have noticed that works for everyone is brainstorming immediately before bed and immediately after waking up.
🙏👍
Thx
Planning some “thinking time” is a great way to trigger creativity!
I needed this!
This is really good. I've never heard anyone before who seems to understand what I've notice over many years. If I start out the morning fixing my plumbing - the rest of the day I'm a plumber, if I start out as a photographer - well then I'm a photographer the rest of the day. The problem is when I have a photo shoot scheduled for the afternoon, but I have to fix a leak in my darkroom or bathroom in the morning, that can kind of screw me up when I switch to photography later. I can still do it, but there's no 'flow' instead I find myself forgetting simple things that are usually automatic.
Hail Ferriss. 👑🙌
The thing he said about brainstorming on the Most Important Question right after waking. Would one meditate after that? Or before? is it good to start thinking about things first thing in the morning? I am teaching my mind to think less...
Thx
Josh is such a great thinker.. His book "The Art of Learning" (Mind Map on my Channel) changed the way I think about everything!
Adorei o filme sobre ele.
Personally, I eat 4 peri peri chicken thighs and a block of cheese cooked in butter with s glass of Sam Pellegrino at night. The morning follows with a 20 minute warm shower and a milkshake
I believe in taking care of myself, in a balanced diet and rigorous exercise routine. In the morning, if my face is a little puffy, I'll put on an ice pack while doing stomach crunches. I can do a thousand now. After I remove the ice pack, I use a deep-pour cleanser lotion. In the shower, I use a water-activated gel cleanser. Then a honey-almond body scrub; and on the face, an exfoliating gel scrub. Then I apply an herb-mint facial mask, which I leave on for 10 minutes. I always use an aftershave lotion with little or no alcohol, then a moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion.

This obviously sounds "woo-woo" to some people but I actually think if you look past that and take his advice as practical it makes allot of sense.
People struggle with long term goals because the present moment is full of distractions and the goals they have are vague and distant. However, if you take this guy's advice he would have you specify your most important goal and focus some thought towards it every day helping you keep it in your mind focused on it over the long term
The reason why it's "woo-woo" is because he is overly verbose and disorganized about delivering an extremely simple message: Take time to figure out and focus on what's important, schedule time for it, and minimize distractions. Wow. Someone fucking pay me for being a guru now.
@@brotendo Wow, great job...next question; "how do I do those things?". I'm pretty sure, after this point, you have nothing. This isn't about "gurus"; this is about radical self-actualization. Waitzkin has written books, successfully won multiple competitions in different fields, he's getting paid 6 figures in consultations... what the fuck have you done? Stop complaining
I love how mentions needing to know someone in-depth before making a suggestion. Armies can’t fight effectively without excellent intelligence information. You can’t tweak someone without having to them extremely well.
I bought an audiobook of this guy’s book The Art of Learning in 2014 and listened to it during my summer break overnight stocking job at Target. At the time, I thought that his words must have went over my head. More than 5 years later, I’m still waiting for him to say something useful or actionable.
I don't get it? You're saying he talks to much?
Yes he’s saying he’s long winded. These guys are selling books, not poems.
Having the right mindset is the key to structuring the day to peak performance. Daily guided meditations and goal visualizations work together to set the right unstoppable minds. I have many vids about them on my channel that work well with me and my clients.
Damn he’s smarter than I even expected not that my expectations matter haha
Thanks i agree wow this really did change my life
right now i suck so much at time management that i would love to be "mediocre"
Fuck! The dude's right.
“day architecture” come on
You probably wouldn't want to say that expression with your circle of friends or with casual friends, they will definitely plot to toss you from what they see as your "high horse" or they'll just ban you from the group by limiting spending time with you, because they believe you to be pretentious.
But personally, I thought "day architecture" was a good new way of valuing your time and the new day that you realize you've been granted when you open your eyes in the morning.
@@ClearOutSamskaras I agree. It seems like a more intentional way of approaching the day instead of Simply ''a schedule"
Thank you so much for your inspiration! Just know that thanks to your videos and sharing I got encouraged to start my own Spirituality CZcams channel! 🎥🔴 It’s just an incredible journey 😍 check it out 🙌
god i hate that bombastic intro
The glorifying of work. The new false god.
Work is just work. Just live your life.
Death will come, prepare for it. Death is the destroyer of lust, the nudge to light and guidance. Oh mankind we will all die, what have you prepared for it? Oh mankind worship the one true god and be free of all false idols. Ask him for guidance in a humbling and sincere manner.
You don't have to prepare for death. In fact it's one of the few things you can do just fine unprepared, heck, you can even do it in your sleep!
How’s it feel to be Debbie Downers Mom ?
@@foljs5858 We will meet when we did and you will regret what you have said here. Your regret will be of no use for you then. Remember this.
@@SuntzuMocro Yeah, not holding my breath...
@@foljs5858 Soon, we will meet again, soon. Till then keep mocking, I'll be mocking you then. Don't you think that he has created you is capable of bringing you back to life another time?
Keep avoiding thinking about your mortality. Keep yourself busy with the fleeing pleasures of life and it's futile and temporary enjoyments. Keep distracting yourself with future dreams and useless goals. Yes everything not calculating in the seriousness of death and what comes after it, is useless.
When we die, we will know the truth about our lifes. We are here for one goal. Be humble towards the one true living god and ask him for
guidance in a sincere and humble manner. He will guide you towards his light.
nothing like peope who create their own language to market everyday thought.... yawn.
Maybe that's the key: To have your own language for the world you live in :)
Exactly.
The only thing that made this video worth anyone’s time is the comments in which we all agree this video has nothing unique, interesting or valuable and is just some guy making up words to make himself feel important and *wise*. BigSnoozeFest.
Those were a lot of words to say nothing useful
I believe the title of the video is just missleading. The part at the and is quiet interesting and actionable in my opinion. Think about a problem before you go to bed. Just stop thinking about it then sleep. First thing in the morning start thinking about the problem again so maybe your subconsious came up with something original since you 'slept on the problem'. Hope you get value out of it.
Honest question, what would have been useful for you? Just confused because it was very useful for me.
He used academic words in the entire podcast but rarely got specific. I think he didn`t want to be there in the first place. He got specific in the Audio Podcasts. He also moved to
some secret ocean paradise. I think he is going to hermitsville for good. If he is not willing to give any specifics, he should stay there.
@@Anmeldn lol.
I disagree. I think it was tremendously practical
Nothing new and super vague
Why would it [his recommended techniques] need to be new? As for your complaint about vagueness, you're simply wrong. He went into specific techniques and specific tactics.
@@ClearOutSamskaras Ok
@@arturo7392 Why is it relevant that his suggested techniques are not new?
@@ClearOutSamskaras It's a misconception that everything now has to be new, I didn't mean new new, I just didn't feel that it gave me the value I expected from the title. I'm taking 6 classes now (it's more than full time job), having a new relationship, working part time and trying to get back to the gym and I was looking for some valuable opinion here. I like his videos, just this one was a little "not peak performance" 😄
@@arturo7392 Thank you for clarifying what you meant by "new". I can't stand shallow obsessions like wanting things to be "new".
I hear you with all those demands (for lack of a better word) that you're engaged with. I've been shit at managing my own demands (a lot of one step forward and 2 steps back, it's bullshit, I have to change).
Here's what I heard Josh say:
1.) You have to know the details and nuances of your own self.
2.) Position your meaningful activity (the stuff you want to do, not the stuff you have to do) as something you do on purpose, and do it separate from your obligations, meaning do it NOT as a reaction to your obligations but do your meaningful work ON PURPOSE with it's own devoted time, and it's own devoted energy.
3.) Go to sleep with the most important unanswered question of the day on your mind. Not in a neurotic way, just in a mulling seek to solve way. Sleep well, don't let your obligations "come at you"; maintain focus on the primary things that matter to you.
4.) When you wake up the channel between the conscious and unconscious mind is open, but not for long! Stay with the open channel and go through what the mind may have come up with for solutions and direction on the focus that you gave it the night before.
Did you hear that as well?
This guy would have more credibility fr me, as a role model, if he seemed less wound up,,,.would talk slower.
Sorry a quitter doesn’t know how to win. Nor how to teach winning.
