Reward systems don't work for me because if I say "get this done and you can have a cookie" my brain is like "or you could just eat the cookie right now" and I just can't argue with that logic
Same 🤦♀️😂😂
Discipline is the answer here
same, my brain just be like u can get that thing right now and not have to work
Give the cookie to a friend and tell him or her to give you the cookie when you can prove you did the task.
That’s mindset. If you want to do something enough, you will.

As I was reading this the dude was saying it
I believe that without organizing, without objectives and doing what you have always done, you cannot improve work productivity. It is a matter of attitude, planning and goals. I have summarized it like this in this video: czcams.com/video/vt9p57p04s8/video.html
@@cutimations1510 ha me too
"Treat yourself like a worker you've hired"
So only work and yell at myself when I take any sort of break 🤔😂
i would fire me straight away
I wouldn't hire myself In the first place
When I take breaks I get sucked into a rabit hole of distractions. Then i start telling myself that if i dont do tasks it will not be the end of my life. Or "Ill just skip out on this one, its just one task" and i end up feeling drowsy and unmotivated. I am really trying to get rid of this habit because I used to be the most productive person i know. And now even my health is changing.
I feel you I have been through the same thing times and times again. It's important to remember that mental health goes first! Just know that you don't have to go through this alone. Would love to offer you my help! :)
Been there too! It feels very unmotivating especially when I end my day not being productive. What worked for me was to break my tasks into smaller ones so that I won't get overwhelmed by the work it requires and gives me much clarity around easier ways to accomplish it. Hoping that all is doing well with you.
Do you know that lofi music helps your brain to focus while studying or working and can actually improve productivity? Give it a try!
I really enjoy the idea of the Pomodoro Technique, but whenever I apply it and then begin doing those distracting tasks like getting on my phone or watching a video I tend to then get sucked into the rabbit hole and it's difficult for me to continue working. I found that whenever I still take the break but do something a little bit more productive and less distracting like stretching or going for a walk that I am much more likely to return to the work and not get distracted.
Identify it, and try better the next day. Just don't give up or start skipping all together
If you have the temptation during a session to be distracted, write it down on a piece of paper, and come back to it later. Alternatively, use apps such as Freedom or Cold Turkey Blockers to block distracting apps and websites for a set period of time so that you stay on task. These are apps are not entirely free, but are worth the investment.
I heard that you shouldn't use your phone during the breaks. Go for a walk, stretch, meditate, drink water, tidy up or draw instead.
I’m sure you speak for a lot of people, including myself, I’ve been working on this, because a walk or yoga, for me, isn’t the same as a good book on the kindle, or a quick video on CZcams.
In order to still feel that passionate reward that my phone or other electronics offers, I’ve started practicing my phone use habits outside of these “allotted” breaks. My thought is, if I don’t allow myself to get sucked in too deep when Im using my phone outside of these break times, then I won’t be sucked in when I need to get back to work during a break time. So far, it seems to be working really well, I’d highly recommend it.
same here lmao, probably set a timer
Tip I've learned from experience: never go on social media at all on your break lol
Once you start being productive you kinda enjoy it. Then lose the motivation completely the next day and question why you even wasted your time doing something productive

I can relate to this! That's where the importance of habit-building comes in. Majority of our actions on a given day are based on our habits. If creating a productive habit isn't really what we used to do, it's very easy to lose motivation the day after because our minds are not programmed to do such things. What I do is use the 2 minute rule and start with a productive activity that's VERY easy to do that I can't say no. works everytime! :)
@@philipenoc8188 Habits take so long to create that simply making it to the habit creation before burn out is near impossible
Actually the brain is watching how to rewire itself and writing this comment too.
👍🏾Surrounding ourselves with positive people helps re-wire our brain 🧠 for success! 🔥
Agreed... Misery loves company, I stay away from negative people.
UNLEASHING POTENTIAL - PSYCHOLOGY VIDEOS Agreed! It seems that you like educational videos.
how you can surround yourself with positive people when you should stay in quarantine
me who can't trust even her own family: Nah..
This might not be related to the topic. I am not a productive person, however success is what I would want in the future. I am a car enthusiast, however hearing about all the news about self driving/electric cars makes me sad. I don't want electric cars and self driving technology. I want cars to stay like they are right now. So I am thinking why would I want to become successful if I can't enjoy it. So in my mind I think that what is the point of success if I won't be able to enjoy it. And that is what keeps me away from becoming productive. Knowing that something that I dream about is going to be gone in the future (which is driving a proper car) I keep thinking to myself why do I need success when I won't be able to enjoy it. So yeah, I am not a productive person and I hope that this won't happen, then maybe my motivation is going to change. I am not saying that you guys should stay on the negative side. Always stay positive and think positive. That can make you more motivated and help you become more productive to achieve your success!!!
Conscientiousness is a great trait to have!
But even if you don't have it you should always keep in mind that the secret to getting ahead is GETTING STARTED!
Start by using different language and different body posture. This changes productivitiy drastically.
I'm already using English but still...
@@Daesma999 I think he meant your vocabulary in said language
I use the hour-by- hour method where I track exactly what needs to get done. It seems a bit rigid but it does make huge changes! Thanks for sharing.
The Pomodoro technique is effective when you do the breaks correctly. When you decide to take a break, don't go on your phone or device for the break. At least for me, it always used to make me less productive as 5 minutes breaks or more turned even longer until I wasn't working anymore. Stretch, drink water, and take a walk or something that can distract you.
Hey Theodore… Just finshed watching the video… Great content as ever. I remember I was watching one of your earlier videos and you recommeded to us to write out the three goals for the day to increase productivity. I’ve done it ever seince and I gotta tell you man, it’s apart of my life now, so thank you. I really resonated with 5. Postive Validation. I recently just put in A LOT of hours on my personal project and I actually went to restaraunt to treat myself. Appreciate all that you do man, looking forward to the next video
Starting your day off right will help make you productive
Started watching your channel since 5k, I’m impressed as to how much you’ve grown in the last few years🙏💯
He doesn't care about the OGs
The problem with telling yourself you're productive is that you might keep telling that yourself even when you're not. It's like telling yourself you're smart even when you're making unwise decisions or actions.
Accountability is key!! Fantastic video Theodore
Excellent tips! Thank you!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Loved this. And thank you! ❤️
LOVE! Great ideas - thank you!!
Had to take notes on this one, amazing video, I might just check out the course you offer
Lately I’ve grown the habit of switching through apps on my phone for HOURS a day. I feel like I could find better ways to spend my day, like try to improve on something or work on something I’ve been meaning to work on.
I feel you! Been there too! Well, I found a research saying these app creators are hiring scientists just to get our attention and literally get addicted to these apps. Just grateful I was able to get out of the trap after how many attempts. How are things working for you now?
thank you for the amazing advices of how to be a more productive people
Appeared on my recommendations and I'm a suscriber. Glad it did..great video
Thank you for such valuable information
Great video! I stumbled on this after uploading to my channel a productivity video as well. All the best!
This was very helpful, thank you
*Scheduling is really helpful for sure man! And pomodoro technique is really helpful!*
Thank you for sharing this with us man!
Winny out... _for now_ 😉
you're a good man. you're good.
Thank you so much for this! You gave me some good tips that I’m gonna start using. Simple that’ll produce results 👏🏽
Heyy Sabrina , have you produced any results ?
I’m hella lazy now days due to corona :(
don't blame corona
@@rafalvarezsevilla I second that. Blaming other things for your own negative personal traits is just a way to give yourself an excuse for the fact that you are not as productive as you could be. I don't even have to question that the virus impacted many people in a bad way, but you have to realise that you are unproductive because of the way you look at the situation and not because of the situation itself. The situation is out of our hands, but our perception of it is not. We can change that. If you try your best to adapt your previous livestyle to the situation, it is likely that you will realise that the virus is just keeping you down, instead of making it impossible to be productive.
Thanks for the insight
This is the first video I’ve ever reduced the speed to enjoy.
The way you just marketed for Sleep Cycle is insane😂🍾🙌🏽
This is really a real similar style to do a Chanel as a guy I know , I love it . The drawings and all
I live where it progressively becomes darker later in the morning and earlier evening. I'll take all of your advice, but have any to replace following the sun rising as it's not feasible during winter months? It can still be dark at 8 to 9am during bitter cold months.
Thank you!
Thus was very good. Thank you
Lol wake up when its good for my body. How about a video about how to be productive with babies children college and work while maintaining the house.
However i do love u videos lol.
for Maintaining the house um You and other family members can share work and responsibility right??
I got distracted by my thoughts about 10 times while watching this video... i need this
After a whole day full of work i smoke some Pot and watch movies or meet up with friends, best way to relax a little 👌
You're killing your lungs

Segmented schedule. Planear hora por hora add breaks to this
Productive awareness. Where you are and what are you doing?
Know whats work for you, fine your passe. Take time to notice in the day what distract you, when you feel tired, what help you focus.
Positive validation. Congratulate yourself
Manifest ypur productivity. Today you are a productive person. Throw out any doubts of lazy days
"Im a productive person who gets loads of meaningful work done"
This video is very helpful
Thank you :)
This is pure genius. I read a book with similar content, and it was pure genius. "The Art of Saying No: Mastering Boundaries for a Fulfilling Life" by Samuel Dawn
Can u recommend some good books on productivity
Great video!
ya i gave noticed when i am away from daily task i get many innovative ideas
Thank you this will help me out.
Has it helped you ?
Please make a video on the thoughts of greatest philosophers on earth, I recently made a video on the quotes, would love to see video of their psychology
Solid video
Where can I buy what your selling?
This video comes at the exact right time for me🙂 I´ve been unproductive as F!!!! lately. Thanks bro🙂
What about now are feeling productive after practicing this for a year?
Are you feeling productive now ?
watching this while procrastinating
Today I'm trying the pomodoro technique, lets see how it works for me!
i zoned out through four of the points
Stop me
This actually really helped!
How has it helped you ?
Great to improvement of English!!!
I really want to try this pomodoro technique! For those who use it, how do you do it?
Do you have a 10 min break ever 2hr working period for example? Is it like that??
25 Minute work, 5 Minute break for 3 times. 4th time is a 15 min break. Then repeat. My favorite app for it is "Resultivity"
Useful..
Good Ankur ji
Have you read Psycho Cybernetics? The materials you are talking about with the Psychology of Productivity sounds a lot like it. Maybe it was an inspiration? Just curious.
Never clicked on a vid so fast
so you have a 2 hour course on fake it til you make it?
i literally zoned out for the last half of the video its so hard to stay focus and to stop my mind from wondering
clicked off half way though went to Netflix but had to sign in so i'm back
Where is the link?
Would be awesome if you're animations were more like your thumbnails. Would really set you apart from the rest of this genre!
Do the things or not...and get the results. Your Responsability.
He sounds like tom holland's english accent.
YES
currently procrastinating watching a video on how to be productive
How do CZcamsrs make videos like this (the hand drawing vector graphics and text)
Practical psychology is hallucinating a bad thing because it hallucinating or daydreaming give me many solutions like I don't know what other but when I daydream I dream about a hypothetical situation and how shall I solve it so it is like book of problems which I create and I solve it but in this video you are mentioning about taking some steps to stop hallucinating or daydreaming
Daydreaming gives good ideas, but everything has a right time. I say this as a person who loves daydreaming but is prone to procrastinating. You definitely can't take time out to daydream when you are bound to a deadline and have too much to do, like having studied next to nothing and having your finals in 3 days. Which is exactly my situation right now.
Oh. I just remembered that I've got my exam. Aaaaaaaah!!!!! Can't daydream, gotta study Maths, can't get yourself lost in CZcams Myst!!!!!
Thx
Idk I think it’ll help if my parents lemme hang with friends, that Transfers over to my confidence, social skills, regular skills and look and styles, idk that’s for me
Understand your brain. Start from this starting point, you will find your learning curve is less steep.
I feel strange when I don't accomplish within a day, I hate the feeling when I watch all day, the feeling that I feel disgusted to myself, and I hate myself if I don't have something special, in a day, but the problem is my overthinking, 1 problem for me tooks a whole day to forget, it's not literally a problem, just something that bothers me, but as I said, it distracts me, and ended up with a lousy day. Oberthinking is the worst, right now my only way for me not to worry is to analyze unimportant things that bothers me and think what's wrong. So please give me an advice.
What's the reason behind the overthinking? Is there any fear around it?
Link doesn’t work :(
I am struggling with getting my school work done. And i always feel exhausted. I have no motivation at all and i nees help seriously before i start failing
Do you try to take any rest before getting the work done ?
It's important to include the issues that women as mothers have. They struggle with young children for the majority of each and everyday and have difficulties with interruption, sleep deprivation, and inability to self-meditate effectively. Others have similar issues with other aspects of their lives that impact their ability to attain personal time.
“I might raise the price since it’s becoming so popular” I see what ya did there 😉😂
We work night shift, great if u can help in that matter..
Idk if I’m lacking in some vitamins but omg i feel like Im so lazy especially working night shifts 😩
Me watching this, trying to get productive. Also me, looking out the window while watching this.
But how to combat the horrible fatigue and lethargicness/brain fog maybe? I know that I have businesses that I want to build but I'm not doing them
I think that a MAJOR change is what's gonna break this cycle. It's simple, you need to do something radical. The best way to reach your objectives is to have an accountability partner who's going to make sure you're on track. I would love to offer you my help!
Rainy days make me lethargic asf
5. Rewards. Cost lots of money and can make you fat and depressed.
Important to find rewards like fun friend/family time.
Maybe I can convince my firends to do the same, and when one of us achieves their goals, the other ones 'reward' their achievements; maybe it would lead to seeking validation all the time though....... :(
My rewards for the moment will be a nap or a coffee break.
I feel like Tom Holland Spider Man is talking to me about productivity...
The thing is I don’t have anything to do💀
Only my room has air conditioner so whole day and night my parents and my brother stay in my small room either they are sleeping or eating i cant change my room cause u know cant study in heat
Thats why i cant concentrate 😭
"Daydream" ughhhh...My WEAKNESS
I don't understand this channel. Nothing he says is anything more but common sense, which is apparent that he puts more work into the art than the content.
@My InfoI transcribe audio files for the deaf and hearing impaired. What about you?

What’s the app though-
I just woke up awhile ago from sleep paralysis... it's not fun
Not if you don't know what lucid dreaming is. I sleep with the intention of having sleep paralysis, so that I could induce a lucid dream from it
@@divyansharse38 yes I've heard of Lucid dreaming lol hopefully I can get to that one day I haven't really tried it. Are you able to remember most of your dream after you wake up?
@@misaelortega653 if you keep a dream journal and make a mental note to yourself that you will remember your dreams then you will start seeing results within a week. Now then comes lucid dreaming, I have got most of my lucid dreams through getting triggered by something which tells me that I am in a dream sometimes even my dream character asks me if I am in a dream and voila! Another lucid dream
@@divyansharse38 damn. I like to paint so if I ever get to lucid dream I'll try to paint on a canvas or something of that nature lol
This comment is quite random
All these positivity tip videos always push waking up early and stuff, its always the first tip, but what do i do if i cant do that? I sleep from about 9am to 5pm so idk what to do.
The good news is you don't have to follow everything that you hear from people. I suggest make a schedule that fits your "prime time" or the hours that you're really focused and productive. It doesn't have to be early in the morning. Feel free to experiment! :)
Dang son. Your voice had gotten deeper.
