"hitting the snooze button is admitting defeat as your first action of the day"... that really hit me hard
I think everyone can relate to that in some way
That fr made me sad and disappointed in myself
Snooze button, in fact the alarm itself is a disease!
Me too!!!
I think it's more like a pause button
1. Checking social media
2. Eating unhealthy breakfast
3. Hitting the snooze button
4. Complaining
5. Cleaning up your space
6. Planning your day
7. Starting your day with bad news
8. Waking up at inconsistent times
Desk DD You've earned Heaven. Thanks.
cleaning?? why not??
asuka07 He said it's better to do it the night before so that it's ready to use the next day.
ok this was me 2 hours ago
Jeez dude watch the damn video.
I watched this video as soon as it was released and now, by watching it again, I can see that I have incorporated every single one of these tips and I can say without a doubt that my lifestyle has improved dramatically.
Thank you!
which was most effective for you?
Wow
The future, reaching out. Have these habits been fully integrated and are still in practice? Thanks ahead of time for any response!
Just a tip.. add teaspoon if salt to water while boiling egg. They peel perfectly every time!☺ Now, great tips & information! TFS!💕💗💕
Team Four Star?
I loved eggsss! Thanks I'll try that
Peel eggs while warm or cold?
Almost perfectly.
I've grown up doing this and it generally works for between 96%-100% of the egg. And that usually means part of the egg comes off with the shell.
Supremely annoying when that happens.
@@pjb9617 Generally cool the eggs down a little with cold water. You should still do it while they're warm.
Crack the egg and then be gentle taking off the shell. Do it slowly and in the pieces that you see crack and you should be good to go.
Also remember that going too fast can mean some of the egg will come off with the shell. So slow and steady wins the race....
Most of the time.
"You intend to only check you feeds for about 5 minutes but you end up looking at them for 20 minutes sometimes" ... Yeah sure, 20 minutes let's go with that lol
😭😭😭😭
More like 3 hours on a good day
Hourssss
*birds start chirping outside*
😂😂
1. Check social media 0:27
2. Eating unhealthy breakfast 1:55
3. Hitting the snooze button 3:18
4. Complaining 4:32
5. Cleaning up your living space or work area 5:05
6. Planning your day 5:52
7. Starting your day with negative news 6:28
8. Waking up at different times 7:28
oh thnks man
These kind of 'wake up early' tips always completely miss me because I'm on the graveyard shift. Waking up early isn't going to be doable if I dont get off work until 7am and my shift started at 10pm.
I get the advise, I'm just not sure how to put it into practice.
Thank you so much
To Aleksandr. Thank You for enumerating and including the time. 👍
спасибо :)
Me: checks CZcams first thing in my day
CZcams: here's a video about why you shouldn't be doing exactly what you are currently doing!
Couldn't be more correct
when he said "me and my girlfriend" … I broke down a little
I understand, but don't you have a boyfriend?
Adam C Oh I thought it was the grammar of it all lol
@@fabledhorse356 LOOOL I found the person who's actually here for productivity
Girl me too....me too
Why do you think he only wants one?
I wake up and my body just gravitates to email, I don’t even enjoy it, just a bad habit.
When I wake up, my body gravitates back to bed.
I gave control of (most) of mine to my business partner, so now he just yells at me when I check it before he does. It somewhat helps :P
That's a great idea! I schedule a specific time in the morning to check emails. Before,I just check any time of the day especially right after I wake up. Then I realized it's not helping me be productive.
Love your videos!
PolyMatter omg saaaaaaame and i'm 18 i don't even get emails lol
Tl;dr
1. Don’t go on social media first thing in the morning, do other activities first.
2. Don’t eat an unhealthy breakfast, a healthy one gives you more energy and reduces anxiety and health issues.
3. Don’t hit snooze (self explanatory)
4. Don’t complain (about how early it is, how tired you are, etc. )
5. Don’t clean up. Do that the night before.
6. Don’t plan your day. Do that the night before to reduce stress and have a clearer plan.
7. Don’t start your day with negative news.
8. Don’t wake up at inconsistent times.
It's tl;dw for this one.
lmao tru
FieldOfBlue thanks !
U saved my time.. Thanks!
Watching this video before going to bed, thanks for saving my time
I love how you admit your own short comings. It makes me relate to you more and makes improving my morning routine seem much more accessible.
Title - Things you should stop doing in the morning.
Me waking up at noon proudly saying I don't do any of these.
It's alright. This shall pass.
I'm not sure if it's the lighting, the lens or both but the video looks *S H A R P*
KhanStopMe noticed that too
It looks colorful.
Glad people are noticing :)
The a-roll is using the same lens, but I positioned my lights better and added the cinestyle color profile to my camera. I also finally found a color grading preset that looks good.
Thomas Frank Never stop improving ;)
That's something I noticed immediately. It's fantastic.
Totally got out of rhythm this morning, had a rough time trying to get stuff done for a while. Funny you posted this the same day, super helpful!
1:19 20 minutes?! Try 3 hours :')
Hey Thomas! You helped me be more productive and organized! I feel better now because of you!
I can’t be productive if I’m listening to music, podcasts, or using my phone. For that I take off social media during semesters, set pomodoro timers and I charge my phone away from bed. Good luck to you all that have finals in a few weeks!!
Entire semesters away from social media? Now that's the way to do it :P
Thomas Frank It was when I was starting my Junior year of Chemical Engineering. Ep100 of your podcast convinced me it more worth for me to be away from it. I’ll come back to it during the breaks! It’s freed up a lot of time and I don’t regret it!
: (
Dude I know from the pod casts you're always trying to improve the videos in some way and this one just looks awesome! 👏🏻
I love your videos.thanks
really cool video! you are making exactly the kind of content i like (and make myself), and i think i still can learn a lot from you! congrats on 1 million subscribers, definitely well-deserved. now it is time to tackle the 2 million 😃
Great video! Love audible too, such a time saver 👍
New lens rocks..
viraj naliapara
I like to let my eyes wonder around the room, but I can't do it anymore.

Ruok u hi111
Thanks Tom! You’re videos have inspired me and I’ve woken up between 5 & 6am every day for 30 days now. I’ve been much more productive with school using your study pomodoro videos too! My life is so much less stressful. Your awesome man!
Sweet video! You're editing just keeps getting better as with everything else you're doing and it's inspiring to see what ppl can build
Thank you! So much for recommending the audio book app. And sharing your knowledge.
Lol watching this in bed oops
Ditto
Nice there on the color grading
watching your videos has just changed my perspective to life. obviously in a productive way and u have my huge thanks for that
Thank you so much for this very detailed advice. 🙏🏾🙌🏾
Just woke up and saw the video! wait a second....
Ditti😁
so u just woke up, n checked social media, loll
For ppl who work shifts during the week, the consistent times may be difficult
This is hands down my biggest challenge to setting routines & consistencies. I have a 3yr old & my job isn't a set schedule with either shift nor days. Smh
Might be easier in that case to ensure that you're getting a consistent amount of sleep.
The tried and true 7-9 hours should help you out. Fingers crossed!
@@IndiaC29 Wish I could help. I've heard from parents everywhere that, the first (I believe) 3 or 4 years are the worst because you literally do have impossible sleep patterns.
If i'm right. From 5 years old on it should be fine.. for the most part. Good luck finding a routine until then. And that's just me being genuine!
@@OnlySpiritualAwakening true but according to them it's best to go to bed and wake the same time everyday. It's not possible with some jobs.
Thank you Thomas!! I love this selection of tips, all of which I knew were essential for focus and success! I truly enjoy your informative, intelligent videos! Thank you for sharing! I look forward to watching more of your inspiring videos!
Just wanted to say thanks Thomas, I always enjoy watching your videos and they always help me🙌🏻 and the tip about listening to audio Bible and doing a workout just reminded me, I'm going go listen to a book whilst I go for a long drive today 👍 thanks!x
Last task on "planning the day" was "Crying"! Haha so relatable! 😂
I personally find it more beneficial to plan my day in the morning. As something with chronic health conditions, my energy and productivity can change dramatically. So I spend about half an hour checking in with how I'm feeling pain-wise and work out what I can handle that day. This is not to disprove anything Thomas is saying!! It's just interesting to see our difference in logic and experience. Also shows how productivity/planning/organisation are very personal.
Thanks brotha. Great material!
Fantastic. Thank u so much . I do half of these . Will start tomorrow
Great video, would like to add a few tips that’s helped me a lot.
1) I place my phone in the bathroom with no snooze - forces me to get up and far enough from the bed that I don’t go back.
2) Organized my apps so that the first page contains apps I want to check in sequence - weather, calendar, reminders, etc.
Also, just finished reading Elon’s book, and thought it was incredible. Recommend Linus Torvalds book called Just for Fun: The Story of an Accidental Revolutionary.
Amy Landino made a video like this just a few days ago and she also talked about not looking at your phone,(except for maybe the calendar app), not looking at the news, and not hitting the snooze button first thing in the morning. She also suggested not having coffee when you first wake up, but having water, preferably lemon water, instead, and having your first cup of coffee with breakfast.
Oh wow she did! And her last name is Landino now - and her channel's really blown up!
I actually used to follow her a few years ago when her channel was Savvy Sexy Social. Cool to see things have grown so much.
I'm curious about the coffee timing thing - I'll have to go research that.
Thomas Frank Her last name is Landino because she married Vincenzo Landino. When it comes to the coffee, I think the gist of it is that it's bad for you to drink it on an empty stomach.
Love her!
I just found your channel and now watch a video every morning while I eat my breakfast! I love how motivating and informing your content is :)
The lighthing and the color grading in this video is ON POINT.
Amazing video, Thomas!
"Consistent wake up time"... cries in healthcare worker with an inconsistent schedule....
I love your videos!! I wake up 5am everday... I've got an alarm clock so my phone is bearly near me while I sleep. I hardly go on social media.... i COULD keep going lmao but yea great video. I check my news everyday..it's a must! I hate it when I hear it from others.
Congratulations Thomas, you've done a lotta great videos that is helping me out. The other thing you've been contributing with is my English learning. I'm a Brazilian student and I've been learning english for 3 years, using a couple of videos of yours. I copy your speech flow and then I can develop my own flow in the language. Take care bro
Great quality!!! Thanks for sharing these tips!! Great video!

Fighting bad habits by sunlight! He is the one named Thomas Frank!
Can you do a video on The purpose of laziness. Why does it even exist, if we understand that maybe we can overcome it better.
Incendium is it lazy to relax?? The brain needs it
I hypothesise the feeling of laziness has evolved to ensure we save energy.
I need this:)
Since there may come a time when our life is in danger, it makes sense to conserve energy when we are safe and have enough food and water to survive. In modern society, that’s basically true all the time. That’s one reason for it I think.
Haxor Kid isn't there a difference between resting and laziness? Resting only happens when you done an activity, the word 'break' also means a break in activity... Laziness is not resting as nothing was been done in the first place.
Cool advices, i'm starting to build a new me since today and this video is a good start to desappair your bads habits. Thanks buddy!!!!
DUDE WOW YOU HIT A MILLION SUBSCRIBERS I'VE BEEN SLEEPING ON THIS FACT! Congrats, that's super awesome and I really enjoy your videos. Gosh I feel like it happened so fast because I started following you only a couple of years ago I think and I don't remember it being a million . But for real, so so happy for you!!
I'm going to think about this video every morning now.
Me too buddy!
I like how your Sailor Moon posters are placed right above your head.
Been watching a lot of your videos lately and I gotta say thank you so much for sharing!
Thomas! Your videos are great and helpful! Thank you! Keep it up!
I would add “don’t roll a joint” to this list
💯💯💯
Like ever
Congratulations for your 1M
Really liked this. Straight to the point. Great
I follow all these already and I am living a much happier life than before, it was a great video, thanks for the tips, this video made me subscribe.
I am disagree about making food in advance.
For sure, it takes some time to make smth,but on the other hand
it's a great pleasure to eat fresh food)
Yeh, how can you "medium-poach" an egg and toast a piece or organic, multi-grain, 50 calorie piece of bread in advance? Also, simple to just pour some oatmeal in a bowl, add some water, and have a hot breakfast.(I like hot food; never liked cold food much).
If it suits you and works for you then do it. Most people are better off with bulk made food. Making food can add motivation and improve mood though.
Well to be fair, his actual advice was to eat a healthy breakfast. The making food in advance thing was a tip for people who find it hard to wake up early enough to make a wholesome breakfast, but if you can do it the day of, more power to you!
Ain’t nobody got time for that !
Tip is great - what for people like me, who are combination of hate doing meals and hate eating cold meals? For me cooled off scrambled eggs stinks like dust mixed with mould. It wasn't like that until covid that caused problems with eating foods.
When you wake up in the morning...
Dude I can't even wake up. I just turn off the alarm and go back to sleep.
This is disastrous. My finals are one week away and because I can't wake up I waste the whole day.
I love your videos they’re so helpful! I’m trying to be more productive and make my life more routine oriented and it would really help if you make a video about nightly routines and how to make one!
your channel is the best thomas. it really changed my life
Lol I don’t Even hit the snooze button just go back to sleep without knowing what happened haha
shaylajacquelyn
Same, it fucking sucks
shaylajacquelyn I don't even hear my alarm. xp
I used to do that! I've got out the habit now but I used to move my alarm clock to the other side of the room, so I had to get out of bed and move around to get to it.
Shut up Shayla...... shut up.
Same my gf says she sees me snooze it but i dont do it consciously
I haven't moved up to bulk cooking, but I do make zesty omelets every morning! Love it! I dice my veggies the weekend before, so I got my mix ready to go each morning. The only extra thing with cooking is the pan and spatula themselves. You still need plates and silverware. Whole show for me takes 10min+, but if you wake no less than an hour before heading out, that's plenty of time to do the wake up routine activities. But then I don't like "grab" meals, not for breakfast anyway. Old fashioned that way, I guess, but I like cooking breakfast. :)
Oh yeah, in addition to the sub-nutritional (and anti-nutritional) value of coffee shop breakfast, you end up paying 3-4 times what it would cost to make that zestier home made breakfast. I have my slow mornings, too, but more often than not, I'm going for omelet. Coffee shop is good for coffee, and that's good enough!
Nethanel773
I cook breakfast and put on Jordan Peterson videos on headphones or soeakers
I love your channel! Just discovered it.
My hero. This video help me more and I am going to get up early and read a book instead of checking my social media.
Thanks for sharing these fanatic video.
Totally love this guy♥♥♥
The fact that I watched this in the morning, right after I woke up. Hehe......
Oops 😂😂💔
That's me righ now
Stop:
1. Checking Social Media right after you wake up
2. Eating unhealthy
3. Hitting the snooze button
4. Complaining
5. Cleaning up your living space and work space
6. Planning your day
7. Starting the day with negative news
8. Getting up at different times
I've watched 4 of your videos so far and I really enjoy them. I also enjoy more motivational type speakers (Jocko Willink!!) but I love that these videos come from a realistic standpoint. Not super preach-y but direct as to what's best and how to meet your goals without having to break down everything you know in one day. I appreciate it man!
Great video bucko!
99% of the time my excuse for hitting snooze is that I went to bed 8.5 hours ago but it took me over 3 hrs to fall asleep and then I felt deprived of the sleep I should have gotten. I should probably just get up and accept the 5 hours and hope for better tomorrow but I kinda see that as sacrificing 1/3 of my potential for the day (sleep 8 hours, miss 1/3 of it, lose 1/3 of your energy. I know this isn't strictly how it works but arguments with your own brain don't make sense!). This philosophy bites me in the ass when I snooze for 2 hours and don't get any sleep cause I can't fall back asleep so now I've just spent 10.5 hours getting 5 hours of sleep instead of just calling it off when I woke up the first time. AND I feel completely horrible that I just wasted 2 hours instead of just getting going with my day, which kills my motivation.
I was reading my phone when I wake up in the morning. Was almost late for work a few times, not good!
hey ,!really helpful! applied it and it works. thanks!
Great stuff thanks 🔥
Anyone watching this video because you take your phone first thing in the morning?
I do
Do you read minds? 😂 Always uploading relatable videos
Thanks Thomas, very helpful and motivational.
Omg Thomas this is so helpful. Thanks for helping us to shape our lives and to have more discipline.
Wait a minute, 12 rules for life has already been out for more than two years??? Wow, time really flies.
Who doesn't check social media in the morning?
I need to stop this.
HHAHAAHA SAME
Me. An actual living human in 2018 that doesn’t check their phone in the morning. Well I check it for the first time when I’m already in the car on the way to uni, but it’s not involved in my morning routine so I guess that counts?
Malak M I think you should also not check your phone while driving.
speed of link Oh I'm not the one driving, I'm a passenger. Thank you for the advice though that's so kind of you.
Screechez I don't even use social media. It's takes times away from my studies
All of these are great tips. I used to wake up, lounge in bed, check FB, check the news. Got to work, ate a terrible breakfast, then sat at a messy desk. Now I get up when my alarm goes off, actually get out of bed, don’t check my phone (unless I have an email that looks urgent) until I’m on the bus to work, eat a good breakfast and drink a pint of water before leaving the house. I sometimes watch CZcams while I’m getting ready but restrict it to channels I like, positive content like this or tech stuff. Setting up properly at the start of your day is so important for having a good one. Great video 😊
Good tips &thanks
For your valuable
information
Nice room decor :p
Im watching this in the morning
youtube is a sort of social media too
Lợi Giáp it sure beats Facebook or Twitter
Very helpful information!
Thank you so much
Very helpful
ou do a video on your opinions on jordan peterson!!! I know that its kinda not really what your channel is about but curious about your opinions on him!
Vaaanesser
What are you opinions of him
Most good looking girls low key support him ahah
haha thank u! and deffs cant say i fully support him but i do think he is very good at what he does, hes a smart guy dont get me wrong but idk our views just dont really align very much
Vaaanesser
Thank you for being neutral our age our generation gets offended so easily and biased switched , as a guy myself who's in shape , I noticed it's all the good looking people who are neutral or positive with Jordan Peterson , and the people who dislike triggered by JP, not so much
6:05
"-do taxes
-fail at doing taxes
-cry"
Definitely sounds like something i would do.
- wake up
- commit tax fraud
- sleep
- repeat
Tip #5 is insightful and I fully agree. You willpower strength is strong in the morning and studies back this up. So cleaning the night before is a truly more effective habit to do as opposed to the misconceived cleaning in the morning
You're videos are actually kind of a soothing way to start the day and gain insight into more productive options. thanks :)
6:02 Look at me! I'm Mr. Meeseeks!
Pro tip on the snooze button: If you anticipate that you will hit the snooze button, you can begin to kick the habit. Allow yourself a maximum number of times you can do it before you absolutely must get out of bed. You can decrease over time
Read and took notes. thank you!
I needed this thanks
Watching this at 3am
Is there any hope for me
@@thatgirl5340 I'm trying my best 😂
Is it bad that I watched this video right after I woke up?

Woooow, great tips. Thanks Thomas.
Another great video! I find your videos super useful!
