      If I understand correctly, it’s don’t let more than one day pass without doing the desired habit. So “two day” refers to the minimum number of days in a row you do the thing.

      I SAY AGAIN, DO NOT USE ON YOUR GROIN AND BACKSIDE. If used on end, i.e. trimming by dragging it along skin with the points facing toward your skin, it will serrate one’s skin like death by a thousand cuts with a samurai sword. Of course this is virtually the only position it can go in when attempting self trim to the nether regions. Now my perineum and bunghole area are gently healing.
      Should your intended use include only trimming with the flat, cold, platen steel gliding smoothly along skin, never fear this is a good choice for trimming hair to whatever desired length you choose with the assorted guide and tools fashioned for trimmer’s delight. Trim away, trim away…

  • @Knowledge_Nuggies
    @Knowledge_Nuggies Před 4 lety +167

    My summary of the Two Day Rule (2DR): (rule starts @04:00)
    • Why important? Life expectancy extends on avg. by 3,4 yrs, if you do sports regularly
    • The 2DR: "I don't allow myself to skip my fitness habit for more than 1 day in a row."
    • Alternative: "I can allow myself multiple days off per week, if necessary, but never 2+ in a row."
    • The clou: That way you don't let 1 day become 2, 20 etc. and start neglecting your health
    • It doesn't need to be a full workout at the gym, but at least 10 (better: 30) min. of activity (home workout, hiking, jogging etc.)
    • It's inevitable that you will fail occasionally
    • Forgive yourself and move on, that is try to stick to the rule the best you can (80-90% commitment rate is good)
    • Valid exceptions: being sick, incidents out of your control etc.
    • Regular workouts = keystone habit that positively affects your mindset and decision-making in other life areas
    • 2DR is also appliable to other habits, e. g. sticking to one's productivity system etc.

And as a production nerd myself, your videos are done beautifully. Thank you so much for putting out content.

    I'm a fan of the 2 day rule! I deliberately also never let myself go two days without working out. Another rule that has changed my life is the *5 seconds* rule. Whenever you want to do something, countdown from 5 and do it. This psychology helps you from contemplating and postponing the action.

    Hey, so a quick thank you from me for giving me a direction in life that I couldn't find. I'm 18, Live in Poland and almost every day until the last month, every free hour I spend them in my room doing nothing but be in front of my computer. This was my routine, almost all my life cause of the bullying in begging school, Alcohol problems in my own house, and abusive father who abused physically and mentally my mother which was a lot more painful cause I didn't know how to deal with it. So I spend it in my room doing nothing, but I always wanted to change and I think if I didn't use those damn countless excuses in the past maybe I would improve earlier and this bad habit wouldn't worsen. Welp what happened can't be reverted but when I stumbled upon your channel the past month I found a motivation to try. I didn't want to achieve anything or something I just wanted to try living a more fulfilling life. I decided to try some of the challenges you committed like cold showers and journaling and others I wanted to like running every day and so on. I never felt so good in my whole life, and I decided to try to finish my high school with the best score I can master and go to college. I don't know which one yet but I have few ideas and I'll work em out in time.
    I wanted this to be quick, but instead, look at this hahaha. Anyway, I should thank the luck by finding your channel, And I hope that whatever challenges you stumble on you'll work it out quick and efficient.

      then you decide to do it first thing next morning but in the mornings it's either forgotten or it's not as exciting as it was in night. I feel you T.T

      I always remember something super important that I've been forgetting as I'm falling asleep. And then I have to decide whether I'm going to wrench myself out of sleep to write it down or sleep and risk forgetting it forever
