1) things will always take longer than you expect, even you expect them to take longer 2) 90/90 rule. The first 90% makes up 90% of the completion, the last 10% also makes up 90% of the completion 3) can’t control time, but you can control how you spend your time. 4) first step is always the hardest 5) might be hard, easier if you’re mentally prepared. 6) you can anything, but limit it and not everything is beneficial/good. - Jocko
That 90/90 is so true when it comes to weight loss, I have dropped close to 70 pounds and did it super fast. Working on the last bit is where I'm at, but not stopping, I constantly have a tiny David Goggins in the back of my head shit talking me through exercise.
I call it ‘AAAA!’ Assess, act, assess, adjust. Assess the situation. Act upon that assessment. Assess your actions then adjust that to maximise your success. My old man taught me this and it’s helped me so much in life
I love this but the four As and the repeat of “assess” makes this difficult for me to remember. So I’m gonna do a slight rewrite for myself and anyone else in my predicament. AARC: Assess, Act, Reassess, Correct [Course]. Thank you for sharing the original, it really is a nice tool that I am going to take with me
@@Notimp0rtant523 that’s fair enough and it’s funny you say that because originally the acronym wasn’t AAAA and I changed it so that I could remember it more effectively with it just being basically a scream sound 😂. But I’m happy to hear you think it could help and I hope it can
Working construction most my life and yes, Every job we apply the rule of the last 10% of the job takes 90% of the time to complete....final touch up, clean up, re-doing trim that isn't perfect, etc....
Every Friday when I go to the pizza shop to have my vegetarian calzone, i order a slice of cake. And it sounds crazy, but knowing I’m gonna have a slice of cake on Friday is enough to keep me from having any other junk food for the rest of the week. Including candies, fast food, etc. I’m halfway done losing the twenty pounds I picked up last year and I feel better than ever even with permanent nerve damage from an accident
@@Tyrogrs1994 I do a lot of PT and stay active, activity and keeping things loose in general helps out. I do also use medical cannabis, I don’t use any pain pills. Usually I’m completely pain free by the afternoon of a busy day. Today I’m lazy and it’s near 6 pm and my pain is a 1.5/10. I’m cool with it.
@@Notimp0rtant523 thanks! Yeah I got pain in my wrist, so I do what I can, surprisingly running helps, but probably cause of the effect from working out in general! Yeah I wish I could use medical cannabis, maybe one day lol thank you
@@Maria-sq4jl developers want to mark their work as done, but maybe it hasn't gone through quality assurance testing, or user acceptance testing. Well, inevitably there are bugs or things that come back or don't work, so after they fix that and pass those tests, then it is "done done."
@@AlexanderMoen Yes, our manager would ask: "Is it a 1, or a zero?" And the answers would come in ... "It's basically a 1 ... but we just need to fix this one tiny thing." The manager works answer, "So it's a zero." We'd say "No, it's really a 1 ... we are so very, very close ...". It was like a running joke. You're either completely done ... or you're not!
This is exactly what people get wrong about motivation. Most people think motivation as the 1st step...it's not. Motivation is the continuance of something once the 1st step has been taken.
I've been a programmer for over a decade. Every single project I've witnessed or participated in, took longer than we all had hoped. Every. Single. Project. Took too long.

You can not beg the Terminator. Judgment Day is inevitable, there is no other choice than to work only on the important things, that are within your control, and brace for impact. There's an entire cottage industry built around this phenomena.

Yup. What I didn’t realize is there are two different types of these quotation marks… one set are angled “ and another set are straight (but I don’t have access to the straight ones on this phone). Took me foreeeever to figure out why one line of code worked and the other didn’t. Ugh.
I remember once I was doing depth-first-search algorithm or something. It was hilarious what a complete mess was created when I (incompetently) added one extra bracket to the code (creating that algorithm with Java is a complete bracket jungle btw). The compiler would return with like 200 errors. But after I removed the extra bracket - it worked flawlessly.
jocko is right. my mother owned a business for hair styling, etc. She always said "you need a haircut". With her scissors in her pocket. She also - when i was an adult, would tip her head and say "get in the chair"....then cut my hair and trim my beard, and then after the Bay Rum or Clubman, would kiss my cheek and say "thre's my son!"
Let me do the work on the house for you guys, no problem.... My way of paying you all back for your service. Consider it done... no joke .. anytime brothers God bless 💚🙏
All I can say, from personal experience, is ... any home plumbing work (yes even a faucet washer) inevitably takes a full day to complete. You have a box of washers from previous projects that inexplicable does not happen to have the EXACT washer you need, A trip (or two or three) to get the correct washer will be needed. But, then, after replacing the leaking faucet washer (and you pat yourself on the back) you find that the shut-off you needed to turn off to fix the original leak now leaks ... and from theres, no saying when you'll be truly finished.
That last piece of cake effect is why I have made it a habit to offer the last piece(s) to the people around me. This does not however apply to the crumbles of chips that remain in the bag.
😂 Too funny I retired a year ago. And it's taking me more than a year to finish all the projects I've started and thought I would finish on time, LOL. And I built a lean to shed that literally leans to the east. Hahaha 😆
The kingdom of heaven is at hand. The kingdom of heaven can be compared to a grain of mustard seed. It is the smallest of all seed, but when it grows it becomes the greatest of shrubs and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and make nests in its branches. And he said he who has ears to hear let him hear
I played this game growing up and the hidden lesson was level 1-92 was the halfway point of 1-99… maybe they were making this point. Also you there was no level 100 even when you went from 13m experience to 200m so there was an implication that there was no such thing as perfection 😮
In a lot of games the xp needed to level up is double the last level's xp. So once you get up there in levels, it starts to get really hard to level up.
Personally, I think as long as everything else is in check. Like you exercise multiple times a week, stay hydrated, and most days you maintain a healthy diet. I think it’s totally fine to throw down an entire pizza once a week. For me, my goal is gradually increased fitness as an athlete. I personally know that I can have a cheat day where I eat 3 huge burgers or an entire pizza once a week and yet still be a healthy fit athlete. However, I understand that some people have different goals that require a stricter diet.

It’s the same with music often the initial idea of the song is formed quite quickly but the final nips and tucks take yonks. So much so I tend to avoid it and just make something new which is Something i need to address 🤦🏻
At that last bite the two year old in you, starts to manifest. It's that last bit of cocaine, and homie comes, in sniffing (not from experience, but allegedly). That was the last they were seen, the apartment was dryer than the skies of nuclear aftermath.
I really enjoy Jocko's podcast, however, due to the crispiness of his mic, I have to remember to turn down my noise-canceling headphones or else it feels like he's resting his chin on my shoulder and telling me what I need to know to excel in life.
I need your help. I need to have the strength to transform my brain the neurotransmitters that are so damaged, I need help staying strong, I'm living through hell with multiple compounded mental disorders. I hope you write positive messages to me thank you

Very original. What other chuck norris jokes do you have
As a developer, it’s true. Testing reveals a lot of issues and you have to add lots of complexity to deal with all the extra situations.

As a software engineer, the running joke is “done” vs. “done, done”
there is also done3, done4, done5 and if it is really bad, done6
not a software engineer, but I'm curious what does that mean??
