We're all lazy to some extent. And there's nothing wrong with that.
However, most of the time, it's those exact moments of laziness that make us overindulge on our bad habits.
We all have certain behaviours that we default to, and we tend to perform them almost on auto-pilot.
Those behaviours could be positive, or they could be negative.
However, instead of accepting all of our default behaviours, we should re-examine the ones that are not serving us and adjust them.
And we can use our lazy nature to our advantage here.
All we need to do is utilise The 20 Second Rule.

Yayy thank you!
please make a video how to lose fear completely
The problem described in this video is caused by wrong life’s target selection by each individuals who faced it. Many persons affected by social culture and influenced by the society itself. They just want things they actually don’t want, so the path to final result is very hard to complete and almost impossible.
great video dude
totally relatable !
"Let's be honest: we're all lazy to some extent, and there's nothing wrong with that. It's natural."
Thank God.

Another strategy I've heard and that has helped me before, is to tell yourself you're going to do less than you really want to do. So like, if you want to go to the gym, instead of telling yourself you're going to go to the gym, which requires a lot of activation energy, you tell yourself you're just going to put your shoes on. And then once you put your shoes on, you tell yourself you're just going to grab your keys. And so on and so forth, until, next thing you know, you're working out at the gym.
This actually works extremely well for me. Essentially breaking down a harder task into multiple easier tasks. This should be upvoted way more than it is. Thanks for the reminder Syberyah
Lol I didn't know this was an actual method that people use. I thought I was just goofy doing this. Thanks for sharing
Its a strategy that a lot of ADHD people use. Breaking task into chunks so small that its hard to fail.
I say I'm going to do less pushups then i do more like "i only have to do a minimum of 10 pushups but I'll try to do more"
This is brilliant as well, thanks for sharing!!
There’s only one way to do things: DO NOT THINK.
You wanna do something? Get up and start doing it, do not consider doing it later or how much time would it take. Just start doing it. If you try thinking about details, if you end up thinking about the amount of effort it’s gonna take, you’re not gonna do it. The moment you start to worry and in your head “ifs” and “buts” appear, you’re done.
Guru !
true
So true! Sometimes I want to go for a walk and I do IF I just get up and go but not if I wait even like 2 seconds, because in that 2 seconds my brain starts thing things like “but then ill have to stop watching youtubbeeee”
This is such great advice! I have been trying to tell myself "don't think just do it" I love this advice so much it's so true!!❤️

At some point in my life my normal laziness evolved into advanced laziness like a freaking pokemon. It's when you are so good at procrastinating and sabotaging yourself, that you dont even care if somebody else might be dissappointed in you.
Well, I should already be Slaking at this point
@@happytotter2133 we are loafing around!
Hm, seems to be where I've been at for awhile. I'm not quite to the point where I don't care whether others are disappointed in me, but nor do I make effort to change that
oh my god this!!!
ive stopped puttin any effort into anything and willingly procrastinate. ik not studying is gonna disappoint my parents and ruin my life and even then i still dont even tho everybody scolds me constantly to study. Even when i do sit to study, i always have my phone with me and deliberately dont put i away from me so that i can use it secretly in-between. The fact that im not studyin and it stresses me out and even then i dont study.
I suggest you getting it checked. Apathy, specially if you had always been someone who cares about others, is a symptom of depression. Not doing stuff isn't always just laziness

I have another 20s rule that works against laziness : counting 20 secondes to let yourself fully enjoy the unproductive but comfortable activity you're doing knowing that at 20, you must stop, get up and start doing the thing you need to do. That way you don't feel like you really stopped doing the comfortable thing because your brain knew that it was gonna end in exactly 20 seconds so it enjoyed it even more, but you're also able to move on to the productive activity.
How r u enjoying the activity if ur spending the entire 20 seconds focused on counting and acknowledging the imminent and quickly approaching end to said activity??
@@bnunya8540 It's usually before getting up, so I enjoy still laying down and resting knowing I'll have to get up in a moment while counting keeps me from falling back to sleep for example

You know it's annoying when someone mentions stuff which are kind of obvious for eg I can 2+2=4 and not 5 until one of the twos will be replaced by 3.
🤯 This just blew my mind.
Every thing I need to do before doing another thing... makes that second thing EXPONENTIALLY harder to start! ♡
This is a really helpful video. I used something similar to this strategy to introduce new things to my birds, but never used it for myself. It is very true that almost every single time, it's the 1-3 small, short things I have to do before an activity that deter me.
When I want my birds to do something new (ex. go inside a new carrier), I make it as easy as humanly possible for them to do it. I use boxes to line the opening up directly with the cage top. All they have to do is take one step and they're in. I place treats right on the cusp of the opening, with a few more right inside, so all they have to do is take one step to get the treat. I use familiar items in and around the carrier so they see things they recognize. Even asking them to jump over a short gap to the opening is a barrier against use. Asking them to step down into the carrier is a barrier. Placing treats too far in is a barrier. Placing the carrier anywhere but their favourite spot to hang out is a barrier. Looks like I should be using some of my bird training methods on myself!

As a former dental hygienist, I must say that teeth-brushing is nothing automatic at all and a high percentage of people never do it.
I do it almost automatically two times a day. I have developed this habit over the years because there were cavities in my teeth. Mostly people don't brush at night but it's a habit for me to do brushing after eating my dinner. But as I said I have developed this habit over many years and I effortlessly find myself doing it everyday. My other family members don't brush at night:))
@@Just2old4thisshit not brushing your teeth at night seems pretty disgusting to me
@@Just2old4thisshit but flossing between?
@@fernandofernandez8723 yeh who wouldnt? I see my mum just do it regularly like idk maybe 4 times even and my grandmas even worse
I got bullied alot and became self conscious of my teeth but now they are near perfect and I have amazing oral hygiene habits. Thanks trauma! 👋
last year i had to write a huge paper and i made this nice plan to write one page every week, but then i quickly fell off and got lazy. one thing that really helped was just committing to write one word per day. that way i at least built a habit of opening my computer and pulling up the document every single day, so it didn’t seem like it took much energy. once i had that habit in place, I was already over the largest burden, and i began to write more
Hey my man, I normally don't listen to this sort of thing because so much of this self help stuff violates biblical principles but I have watched quite a few of your videos and you have gave absolutely no advice that violates my conscience, I'm deeply appreciative of your content , I feel like your a good friend , you have become one of my favorite channels and that's hard to do...God bless you my friend

Not true if ur watching this your looking for advice
*Video about being less lazy and more productive*
Me: Great, this is just what I need!
*Almost 15 min video*
Me: Oh that's too long, I'll save it to watch it later
You got the same thing on my mind!😂 I was about to comment and saw exactly what I felt rn.
Play it at x1,25
I just watched it on 1.5 speed 😆
And never watches again
Me who takes a mental note of video’s title because I am too lazy to save the video to watch later.
I love this because it just takes a little bit of thought and a small moment of conscious change, rather than huge daily habit changes. Helpful for those who thrive off of environment and external influences (e.g. me). Excited to put it into practice.
I spoke to my roommate about this and she said, oh, i kind of did that but with my phone! She hid all the apps on her phone except for like 4 important non-time-draining apps so that if she wants to use any other apps she has to search for them. I thought it was a good example of the 20 second rule for bad habits (±15 seconds lol) and a great way to adapt the concept to electronics and mental space/time, not just physical space.
We are so prone to taking the path of least resistance. Thank you for the practical advice for establishing successful habits by removing barriers to getting started.
When feeling lazy go for a walk or meditate. Much better then procrastinating or scrolling

@winnie ok Go out anyway just take a coat or something else warm. Also go with other people if you can

thank you for reminding me that there will always a way to change your mindset. and be more active although i cant apply it to my self but im always trying my best to do new things and don't pressure my self
This works for me.
I actually wanted to read 30 mins per day. But then, I was already tired of reading and the time hadn't finished. It was no fun anymore. So, I changed my duration of reading to become 20 mins. And I finish my reading before I get tired and it becomes rewarding. In addition, if I feel like to continue, I will add a good ten mins. So I get 30 mins reading each day. To limit restriction or 5o make it easy, I apply it to my workout. I don't want to exercise outside as I have to put more clothes (I am a Moslem where I have to be fully covered if seen in public). And I hate the idea of having more laundry after that. So, I choose working at my own room and wear my comfortable workout clothes. I have a set of CZcams vids for my workout. When I am lazy doing exercise, I will get up and do just determine to get done only the warm up part. But then, I always find myself doing at least 2-3 vids on my hard unmotivated days 😂😂😂
Me: adds this video to “Watch Later”

I use a similar idea for snacks, I always put 2 barriers between me and them (1 must block visually), like putting cookies in a container in the back of the bottom of fridge or bottom cabinet. Also, even if I have decaf coffee, it's enough to get me started on any project while not destroying my sleep cycle if it's in after noon.
This content is truly helpful, People like me do need some instruction to working on our ideal life easier.
And I also think the way this video sponsoring has the most successful advertising I have ever seen, it just completely match the point of 20s Rule.

Totally true! I paint sooo much more minis, when my paints and utensils are on the table, ready to painting session. There is a mess on the table, but I paint 500% more often!
Wow! This gave me so much perspective! Thank you for this!
Summary:
- Starting any activity requires an initial effort to start doing it.
- Increase the effort (for 20 seconds) to start that activity you want to avoid, for example put the control of the TV in another room to avoid watching it.
- Decrease the effort to start that activities that benefit you, like going to gym, you could sleep with the gym clothes on, then when you get up in the morning you are ready to go.

This behavior of us is also known as habit
I'm reading a book about it atm and it's rly interesting since it shows how our brain functions. This video basically described a tip for improvement in the third law of the "4 laws of behaviour". The accessibility and simplicity or complexity of an action. "The habit must be easy to do/get access to" or (for removing a bad habit) "The habit must be difficult to carry out"
This video is a lifechanger! Before watching it a week ago i ate junk food instead of fruits and vegetables. After watching i threw it all away and now every time i want some, i go to the market that is 15 minutes away from my house to get some and i still do this every day!
I think all of us naturally struggle with laziness and procrastination. What works best for me is to force myself to get up and do something. It could be as simple as brushing my teeth or taking out the trash. Whenever I complete a bunch of small tasks, I find that building up positive momentum can make a huge difference with overcoming laziness.
Indeed. Never underestimate the power of momentum!
Yes! Momentum is how I get things done. For example, if I clean my room, I take the initiative to also clean the bathroom, then the kitchen, and next thing you know the whole house is clean. Taking small steps will still get you to your destination. Now cleaning my house is something I consider a small step to ending my laziness, even though before it used to take lots of willpower and motivation.
Psychologically it's been shown that making your bed in the morning helps fight depression and increases productivity because you began your day with an accomplishment. So yeah you're absolutely right
I'm going to try this. Thank you, for some reason this made me feel better. These simple tasks feel doable.
True...I also do that 🙌🙌
I often struggle with standing up from bed at the morning
I just say
"I count to 10
Then i stand up and do what i have to do"
Than i just count to 10 and when im done
I just jump out like i got bitten by a snake or something
It really helps

One thing I like to do is pretend I'm a video game character. I thought of this the first time when I wanted to swim but the water was too cold. Rather than thinking "I'm going to go forward into the water now" I thought "I'm going to hold W and make this dude I'm controlling go into the water." You get the same feeling of frustration as when a video game character won't do as you say, and it's really helpful.

As someone with ADD, I know how ppl with ADD/ADHD always have to work harder on this. We get addicted to things easier because we have a lower amount of dopamine, and it’s a lot harder to force yourself to not be lazy or to break bad habits.
I don’t have ADHD but I do the exact same thing lol! Organize my desk a little so I don’t get randomly frustrated, close all tabs on my computer except for homework, neatly line up homework and a pencil/eraser. Great minds think alike! 👍
I dont have adhd and i do this every day so that i can easily get my day started just thinking about how easy it will be for future me is whats helping me too

Thank you very much for this motivation!!! It is so easy, when you know how it works!
At 20 years old I started putting my phone in a drawer on silent the moment I got home. Like you said these things sound simple, but a young age it made a last impression as I experienced changes for the first time…. What can make 20s habits difficult later in life is that it’s so simple we think we know what’s on the other side of our discipline.
Im 31 now, it seems mentally difficult to initially implement focus habits or remove distractions but once the momentum is there and you have just a tiny bit of consistency, you notice less resistance.
I feel like the bigger problem is that we are sucked in by social media and tv, even if the guitar was next to us the majority still wouldn't practice.
Of course. This is why you gotta make sure it's harder to get sucked in 😉
Just unplug your tv and hide your phone somewere it would be hard to get.
If you really like playing the guitar and it's infront of you all day. Of course you will play it. The same applies to all hobbies. For example if all it takes for me to play soccer is to write my name in a whatsapp group, it is more likely for me to play than if I had to manually find 11 players
Well you also could learn about how most everything on social media is a lie, than you wouldn't want to be lied to. Unless you're in to that sort of thing. Logic and reason should keep you off of Facebook and all the other nonsense
@@joshyingling I totally agree, unless you are experiencing major depression or a crisis. Often people that are stuck in depression or a crisis situation aren't able to think logically and will do anything to distract from the pain until they make the 1st step whatever that may be.
I have personally found that when you don't have motivation to do something, and you think about how much effort it takes to do that simple thing that it is easier to just not think about it, and just get up and do it. You stop thinking ab how much you dont wanna do something, you just get up and do it. This has helped me stop hating certain tasks that i found tedious before. And actually somewhat enjoy them. Or be content, at least.
"Do I really feel like doing dishes? Well, while I'm thinking about that, I'll just get started."
dude I wish my executive dysfunction would let me lol
once I get started I'm good! I usually have to do the first step and I'll be ok but man..... if only "just do the thing" worked at night(after meds wear off)
I like cleaning but I don't like the effort that goes with it. Whenever I have to do some cleaning I just get up and do it instead of procrastinating because if I think of how much effort it will take, it never gets done.
think of the beginning of it
The thing is I have intrusive thoughts that I try to ignore and can’t. Either that or I’m a mindless zombie not knowing what tf I’m doing. There’s a middle ground that I’ve been searching to find for years
this helps SO MUCH OMG
thank you so much!!!

In his book "The Happiness Advantage", Shawn Achor ... decided to call this behavioral approach: The 20 Second Rule. Essentially what he did was, he made playing the guitar 20 seconds easier, while making watching TV 20 seconds harder. And this strategy can be applied to pretty much any behavior you want to change. ... And it's the same with pretty much any other activity. When it comes down to it, most of the activities aren't that difficult to do, they just require a little more effort for you to get started. But once you do start and get settled in, it's always very easy to continue, even if you don't necessarily find the activity as fun.

Related to the phone, I found that charging my phone next to my bed is a convenient distraction. I moved it across the room away from my bed or you can charge it in another room. You're less likely to stay in bed on your phone, which was a bad habit of mine. If you need it next to you some reason, make sure to move it at times you don't. It's an extra step that pays off. I also moved my playstore app to a place less convenient to access. I found that even after deleting the apps I still would just redownload it when checking my social media. I only do this once week now thanks to moving it off my home screen.
I also find it motivates me to not go back to sleep, as I have to get out of bed and walk across the room to turn my alarm off.
Wait, so Loki has a phone ?
I bought a long USB phone charging cable just so it could reach my bed. I should probably go back to the short one.
i noticed this too but i forgot thx bro
If I move it across the room I just end up getting up to go get it bc the reward is better than the cost

EVERYONE IS LAZY.
Last week i deleted tiktok of my phone, i can still watch it on my computer but that means getting up, going to the site and looking it up. That really worked
This is so obvious its almost stupid and yet I've never thought of using my own laziness this way. Killer video!
This reminds me of Newton's first law and static friction - how an object takes more force to _start_ moving across a surface than it would to just _keep_ moving across that surface had it already been moving. Weirdly relatable..
NERD!
It's a metaphor that I can relate to with my clinical depression. Like the hardest part of rolling a gigantic metal ball is finding the strength to 'start' moving the ball, once it's rolling it takes much less energy to 'keep' it moving.
i think ive read this in other motivational books too, like the mark mansons the subtle art of not giving a f*ck. just get started and once youre at it it's usually a lot easier to keep going. not always true though, but you can practice it in increments of minutes becoming bigger each time. allegedly lol

I'm just gonna say that this video has been sitting 2-3 years on my watch later list, talk about freaking procrastinating.
Thanks for the explained content, I can relate to this way, way too much, gotta love spending 5 hours doing nothing because I'm too lazy to do 10 minutes of preparation so I can do something.
I did something similar to this and it helped amazingly. usually when I'm studying I like to listen to music, so my device stays right next to my book playing music as I study. The problem is, with the device being right next to my book, I'm more tempted to pick it up and scroll through it rather than studying, which has really messed up my studying.
What I decided to do, is to keep the book in its place, but put my device in a table more far away from me and let it play music there. By this, I'd be too lazy to walk up to it and use it, and I'd be more focused on studying from the book that's right in front of me, while still listening to music.

Thank you. I really need to hear this 😀😀

Thanks for this video. I really hope this would make me change my habits more easy
Extremely useful video! Saving several tips from it.
As a person with adult-diagnosed ADHD, this is the perfect description of something I've learned over the years.
My coffee in the morning is one thing that will make or break my day. If I have too many things in my way that I need to overcome in order to drink my coffee right when I get up, it's very difficult to come back from that bad start. But when I put everything necessary to make the coffee in the same spot next to the coffee pot, it naturally improves my success rate and my day starts much better.
Check out the Phillips all in one machine. It will grind and brew you a fresh cup of coffee with 1 button.
Your ADHD was diagnosed by an adult? Damn, mine was diagnosed by our puppy 😔
@@spoopyd.8910 lol 😂 but the funny thing is that none of the adults in my life picked up on my ADHD until I had to fend for myself in college and everything kinda broke down... Luckily I had somewhere to go and start over, and after a year of seeing a therapist she got the diagnosis right and everything kinda made sense.
@@seventyfive1 that actually sounds amazing...
very recognisable. Some days i keep thinking: Just one more good coffee and then i will get started :)

It is such an awesome idea!! I do suffer from this inconvinience every time when I want to paint. It takes a huge time to get prepared my working place and afterwards it takes even more time to clean everything up, because oil is not very easy to clean. I've always thought that I am too lazy or not inspired enough, but thanks to this video now I clearly see that all I need to do is to lower the activation energy. Btw, if anyone here is also keen on oil painting, please give me some tips (hacks) on how to make preparations quicker and especially how to simplify the cleaning process afterwards.
"20 second rule"
*Makes video 14 minutes*
Last day, I saw a video on how to lucid dream in 3mins but the vid was actually 10 minutes.
Thank you!
They need it to be over 10 minutes to make some revenue $$$
I hate these shitty gorus that do exactly this, like bruh do a 4 mins video. I would gladly subscribe and click the bell
A sit up takes 4 seconds. You need more than 1 to make a difference. So we get 43 repetitions of 20 seconds. There now you have a workout. Haha
I’ve been unwell a while & got to the “what’s the point” stage. This has really motivated me. Thank you so much. 🙏🏻
Proud of you!
Hope things have improved xx
I use laziness and stinginess to cut myself off from time- and money-consuming activities, both “good” and “bad”. I don’t send Christmas card (or even electronic ones), though will send emails around the holidays - and, in fact, expanded the number of people I send such greetings to. I’ve stopped putting Christmas ornaments outside of the house. I do not wrap gifts, preferring gift bags. Unfortunately, Dad’s been using Amazon to send gifts to his friends, and that’s been a headache that reminds me that I don’t want gifts from others and don’t want my friends doing the same for me. Thanks for the video!
