Man, I had 3 papers that I hadn't done to finish high school because I was cocky that I was already accepted to a good college. So on the last day our councillor pulled me aside and told me to finish those papers before tomorrow, I stayed at school until like 10 pm working through one of them, then I went home and kept writing until 6 a.m in the morning. So I finished 3 papers that were supposed to take like a whole month basically in one sitting. They then extended the deadlines the very next day since almost the entire class was also behind but I was still glad I did the work.
Wow & well done!
With study or work, we have the time at the start, but it is crazy how we work against ourselves...
You took extreme ownership. 1st step to becoming an adult.
I’m embarrassed to say Jocko and his crew is what I needed to kick my ass into gear with squaring away my life, but it has. 2 businesses and a big family and volunteering everywhere pull you into too many places. Jocko squared me away. Still learning daily baby!!!! Get it
Everyday is a new lesson. Stay strong man, the day to day struggles are what built this brick house! 💪🏻
I love Jocko's laughter when he's messing with Echo😂😂😂
They both make a great team. The banter between them is hilarious
What Echo says at @9:55 about the reasoning when you're 17, 18, 19 years old, newfound liberties, that is so true. And moreover about "you don't even know why you're there [in college classes]".
'Parkinson's Law' sounds a little shaky to me.
Now that shit is funny!
To Echo's credit, I challenged myself in one college class to never start a paper until 24 hours until the deadline. It was a course where you have to read a book and then answer a prompt in essay format, and I only ever used sparksnotes. Got a 97% in the class. Doing literally the bare minimum will get you decent grades in some classes
Cheaters never win in the long brother is what I've learned
@@AlS-kz1yy English 101 isn't something that I needed to take for my degree. I took the classes within my major very seriously. The fact that I was ABLE to do this shows that the class was completely unnecessary and did not teach me a single thing
@@danielbushI get that. Engineering courses are the courses where that’d never work for me.
@@SalvationIsInChristAlone Exactly. That's the proof that you actually need to apply yourself, and that you will probably learn something
@@danielbush It taught you that you could use this technique effectively. Sometimes that is all a course can do.
Slacking is so much more enjoyable when you don't have a task hanging over your head. I'd rather go hard right away, finish ahead of schedule, and have time to accomplish other tasks. Or slack off a bit if I'm feeling particularly unmotivated.
Awesome. Learn so much with you sir. Changed my mindset. It’s 6 am here in Brasil. Woke up 4:30 and ran 10k. While my wife and kids were asleep. Greetings from Brazil.
‘Humble brag’. A term I’d love to be able to use one day… haha
My unit recently got the opportunity to do a joint exercise with MARSOC and I did not realize how fast a mission could be planned prior to execution. Great learning experience.
I love Jocko’s reaction every time Echo says something ridiculous.
I'm with Jocko, I don't like to think of things I have to get done, I get it done.
Same. My efficiency sometimes makes my wife upset because she doesn't think the same way and i try to motivate her to be like that to a degree lol. Im all about efficiency. Ill think about it for like 5 or 10 minutes to plan the quickest way to get done what i need done.
thank you 🙏🏽 understanding parkinsons law, don't procrastinate, do it, get it done, mahalo echo charles, for clarifying the reason behind hawaiian time 🤣💯🙏🏽
Exactly the advice I needed it this week, thank you.
Jocko’s my friggin leader👍
This is true, patience is not a virtue.
This is SO true. I once worked in a Commercial Photography Co. where we photographed jewelry, for catalogs ... meaning at least 50 pieces on a page.
One weekend, we were working overtime to meet a hard deadline Monday morning. Each photo was a 2 person job. We simply focused, worked efficiently, and each job that normally to 90 minutes was done in 30!
I was so happy! I was like: "Guys! We can do this ALL the time!"
But, on Monday, when the "pressure" was off, everyone went right back to the old routine. Taking breaks, personal calls in the middle of a shoot, talking and screwing around unnecessarily. I couldn't believe it! (I was young.) The really insane part was that doing the shot in 30 minutes was so much more pleasant. We were in a "zone" mindset. It wasn't tedious. The photos actually came out better! (In 90 minutes, dust would fall on the set, and had to be cleaned off.)
I asked: "What are we doing?!" The studio manager said, if we do it fast, they'll expect this ALL the time. I said: "Fine, don't tell them!" (The Client was never on set to know how long this took.) I KNEW we couldn't promise every shot would only take 30 minutes ... but why not do it when we can? And then take the afternoon off if no work was left?
But my suggestions were to no avail. And we went back to the tedious, ridiculous way. 🤷
Work is a struggle between an employer's need to get as much work out of their employees for as little money as possible, and the employee's need to do as little as possible for what they're being paid.
When the company sees you can consecutively “take the afternoon off“ you become part time fodder 🤣. The fine line between morale and efficiency, while also exacting quality work. Let the circus begin 🤣
@@Blake4625kHz This client would never know. By taking the afternoon off, I mean hang out in the studio, make calls, do whatever ... meaning all that other stuff that these guys intermixed with taking photos. If everyone disappeared every afternoon, and no one answered the phone or accepted deliveries, that would look bad. Now if you're in a company, working in cubicles, very visible to everyone, then yes. Do it fast and good one time, and you might be shooting yourself in the foot, creating unrealistic expectations.
I had previously come up with a way to shoot these photos that literally cut the time in HALF, and made the work MUCH easier. That change, they gladly accepted, because in comparison, the previous way was miserable. And of course, the Client was never told.
But something about hanging out, chatting, breaking in the middle of a photo session to talk on the phone, grab a snack ... I don't know. I think these guys felt like by taking longer, the work was somehow more difficult and complex ... and that meant they were more(?) talented photographers.
This was untrue. Doing the job quickly, smoothly and efficiently actually proved they WERE good photographers, because a beginner wouldn't be able to do that. AND, we were not being paid by the hour, but by the job. And this was a locked studio which this Client never visited. All meetings were at the Client's location. 🤷
@@joanneblack7697 I mean if quality of product is not diminished… but I have a problem with “client didn’t know “ 🤣 i.e you take your car in to have brakes serviced at over a 100 dollars an hr just for labor. You’re on the bill for 2 hours (I’m not sure exact I usually do my own) but it took the mechanic 1 hour or less. You get charged a premium for an hour or so of labor that wasn’t there. Oooh I hate this mindset 🤣 what would the health of our economy be without this mindset? Obviously it pervades in probably every sector apart from the mess we’re all in as a country already.
@@Blake4625kHz I hear ya. But the thing about this is that the Client would pay a certain amount per photo. And they weren't choosing the most expensive place possible. They were happy with our work. Most of the stuff, of we focused and got in the zone, we could shoot faster. You do have to take into account where a fiasco occurs. i.e. somehow the photos are ruined, the equipment breaks causing delays, some photos are so specialized, they do need more time. But these guys just had it in their mind to work at a slower pace, screwing around, making phone calls, getting snacks, etc. In the end, the Client doesn't care. They pay per photo, no matter how long (or not) it takes us. So nobody was getting ripped off. I just didn't understand why they liked dragging stuff out unnecessarily. We weren't paid by the hour, and also, by doing that, it sometimes would create a situation where we'd have to work thru the weekend. Whereas if we kept it moving in a more efficient way, we'd be done by Friday.
Looming = fear, and fear is a great motivator.
That is true only for occasional and small to medium applications of fear and pressure. Only when there is a clear path and a relief, then it works.
Constant fear and pressure suck up your mental energy and basically make you dumb.
Needed to hear this today, thanks JW and EC.
I'm older than Jocko, and I ran afoul of this last year. Trying to get a car done before the end of September, huge amount of work to do on it and I didn't get it done in time. Here I am again, needing the same car done, but with some changes, and 140 days left. I have set a deadline of next Saturday to have it running, driving and somewhat sorted out, so I can put it on a chassis dyno at a show. A guy I know said that no naturally aspirated vehicles in this area have ever put down 400hp at the wheels... This thing will do that easily.... if I get it running. It just might make more power than his supercharged LS engine, and thats kinda the thing I want to do.
The funny thing is when I was in my teens and 20s I would have had it running and driving in a day or two, then had all summer to sort it out so I could race it. However, this thing is completely aftermarket, I have a lot of money invested in the engine alone, and I am not just putting reworked stock parts together to run 11s like I did in my 20s. Additionally I have other things constraining my time, I have trees to fell, then run through the sawmill I still haven't finished setting up, then I have three trucks I need to get running, two of which are causing me all kinds of grief and stress. At some point I need to work on the house and get the bathroom built. I am living like one of my deployments right now... with no running water. 8 years is long enough, I need it done this summer.
I agree that no matter how much space you have, you will fill it with something and have more stuff left over that needs a place to go. its worse with us gearhead/car types. Cars and trucks take up a lot of space, but a car taken apart takes up neve more space.
Thank you for the insightful comment! Have a great day and God bless! All the best and take care!
I'm in a similar situation, just with repairing my house that was passed down. Was banged up pretty bad by squatters, but as it's closer and closer to being "acceptable" to sell, I find the total amount of actually observable work is getting stretched out slower and slower. Now I'm having to set alarms on my phone that have tasks that are able to easily be measured as "done" / "not done". Something as simple as "caulk master bathroom sink", "cut baseboard and nail it in master bathroom". I'm fighting to keep it moving, so I'm thinking if I can have this video to pop up a few times per day, and maybe similarly to you with your car - if by posting this comment and knowing one or two people out there have seen it, maybe I'll (if even) subconsciously keep an urgency in my mind for completion. If you make it to the end of this reply, WORK ON YOUR CAR!!!
This was really helpful.
Of all the martial arts shadow boxing is the most humble.

"There is a stone on top of the mountain that shapes the horizon, where the feathered eagle struggles to fly this stone simply lies consistent in the heights, and the pebble in your boot is greater than the mountain in your way." - master of shadow boxing
"Work expands to fit the time for completion." Fuck.
Great thanks ❤
So true. Learned this law in college. Retired a couple years ago and still no time to do things. This was result of the law.
I “love” your podcast.💪
As a construction guy I can relate... No one is going to be shooting at me later so learning how seal commanders deal with the pressure has always paid dividends... Cheers my friends
Another great video
I came across the concept of Parkinson's Law years ago in listening to Brian Tracy. The concept is extremely true. Time expands and it is interesting what happens when you pay attention. That's why I always put the least amount of time for each of my tasks. If I know I have more time, "miraculously," it takes me that long.
This is an awesome concept to be aware of

Had to give this idea 💡 a thumbs down 👎 cuz AmeriKa is still {temporarily} ruled by those who crucified our Holy Redeemer; shot-off half of Jack Kennedy’s head & tried to sink our USS LIBERTY 🗽{.}!?! 🇺🇸 ⚔️
Can confirm Echo's point about doing things at the last moment. I had a project due in college in 2 days, got it done in an hour. I scored higher than most of my peers, despite them putting in days of work as opposed to an hour. Looking back though, I could have done better if I knew then what I know now.
But do you have real knowledge? To pass test, exam can everyone. Do you want to become like Richard Feynman?
Just watched a show about Marc Lee, you were one of the commentators, Rest in Peace Brother Lee
Cheer´s from Brazil sir! Woke up at 5:00am and workout for one hour and a half! Just starting work!
I was a procrastinator in college. I recall onetime we were supposed to analyze a book and write a paper. I started the book the night before, read one-hundred-something pages, wrote a 10 page paper, and got a perfect score.
I’m not super smart or anything, but all the cylinders were firing that night.
John Cleese's book 'Creativity' messed me up. He talks about how creative people delay, until a deadline, the completion or even the beginning of work. He says - to paraphrase terribly - that this enables the idea to cook properly.
Yes
Why do i relate w echo so much 😭😂
Oh my god, that title described my life!
This is a good point. Lord Mountbatten understood this concept and utilised it when setting a 2-month timetable for the transfer of power in India
What a waste it treating a good human being more like an experiment than a human being. Beyond one of the most messed up things I’ve ever gone through.
The problem is that their most elite Soldiers train for the Navy Seals and a lot of them still end up dying. That’s a failure on the leaders not the Soldiers obviously leaders shouldn’t be emotionally abusive and manipulative but I guess that’s how toxic their mindset is
I meant dying in training is so ridiculous
It's good to be back to relatively normal after having an apartment for a year to myself. Homeless since '14.
grats man you're on your way
Another excellent cast. I have been noticing this more as I get closer to being middle aged.
imma try it.
AGGGHHHH Jocko why did you say that?!!!..."If you wait until the last minute then it only takes a minute to complete the task"...:) LMAO!!! OOooooooossssssss
Thinking of college as a job made it so that not only did I never TRULY struggle again in school, I never got anything lower than a B+ again.
I love how J gives E sh*t for being late but he sneaks it right in the conversation. I am WELL known for never being late at anything.

Time is never on your side. Whenever you feel it is, it's an illusion.
This reminded me of a funny thing about a company I worked for. They hired someone FULL TIME to manage their internal moving operations: say for some reason your section or department must move to another space in your building. I figured then that at least one or two sections of the business would be moving every year because it was THIS PERSON'S JOB to move people around in the building. He or she would have to do that, otherwise there would be no justification for keeping their job in the first place. It really was annoying because we seemed to be moving constantly, and boy was there always a good reason for it.
"Could you choose to be this way for what we do?" Echo is such a good balance.
nice backhanded compliment
I think it depends on the person. For some, the neurons align under pressure. It is not possible to do the same quality of work if starting too soon.
10:40 ok... cant give you much credit for that lmao
Ahhhh, so that is why staying up all night is a paradoxical portal to this video right here.
If I went back to college now I would read the entire textbook and do all the example problems before class even started. I would also only take one or two classes at a time.
I hear "back in the day" I click like
Thanks for getting me outta bed and off to the gym.
i think too😂
Jocko walks up to a garage can…
“GOOD!!! What a waste!!!”

I left all the learning for the cscs exam for the last 2 days and spent 2 nights learning and barely sleeping. Succeeded eventually, but was tough as I was falling asleep and unable to focus. I do not recommend :P

Getting things done earlier is best because other things might come up and they usually do
You never put off things that are fun to do.
Right now I'm getting divorced, working full time, and going to school full time with two kids. It's funny how my school work is done a week early all the time. At first it was just in case shit came up, I would be ahead. Now it's just a week ahead all the time.
You should have Russell Jay Gould on your podcast.
Any time I plan a seal mission, I just go to Sea world. Simple.
The Buddha said something about how you don't start to live until you understand you're going to die. Our lives have a time constraint. Gotta make the most of it every minute of every day.
greetings everyone what does Jocko say at 9:25 and a few seconds after that? I wanna get the joke but I really can't hear it properly.
Garage is Front SHED Now.
Lol imagine seeing Jocko at the gas station.
I always appreciate how Echo is game to take a guess at military matters. Please don't educate yourself on that stuff outside the podcast, Echo. It helps so much to have a real man present who doesn't have any military experience or knowledge.
Remember Echo. Jocko can’t give it up 😅
We get wiser with age and experience. Waiting til the last minute to write my papers just means im at my peak level of wisdom when i write. Hence the good grade lmfao
THANKS DAD!!!!
Why do you procrastinate?

Last 10% takes 90% of the time.
1. **Self-Fulfilling Prophecy**: This is the process through which someone's beliefs or expectations about themselves or others lead to the realization of those beliefs or expectations. For example, if a teacher believes certain students to be high achievers, they might give them more attention, encouragement, and resources, leading those students to indeed achieve higher results.
2. **Fundamental Attribution Error**: This psychological principle refers to the tendency for people to over-emphasize dispositional, or personality-based, explanations for behaviors observed in others while under-emphasizing situational explanations. For instance, if someone cuts us off in traffic, we might think they're a bad person (dispositional) rather than considering that they might be rushing someone to the hospital (situational).
3. **Confirmation Bias**: This is the tendency to search for, interpret, favor, and recall information in a way that confirms one's preexisting beliefs or hypotheses. For example, if someone believes that left-handed people are more creative, they may be more likely to notice and remember instances that support this belief while ignoring those that do not.
4. **The Halo Effect**: This cognitive bias is the tendency for an individual's impression of someone to positively influence their thoughts about that person's character. It's why attractive people are often assumed to be good, intelligent, and honest.
5. **Reciprocity Norm**: This is a social norm where if someone does something for you, you then feel obligated to return the favor. This principle is often used in marketing and sales.
6. **Ingroup Bias**: This is the tendency for individuals to favor their own group. For example, sports fans often think of their team as better in every way compared to other teams.
7. **Asch Conformity Experiments**: A series of studies directed by Solomon Asch studying if and how individuals yielded to or defied a majority group. The results showed a significant degree of conformity in situations where individuals were unsure of the correct response and didn't want to appear different.
8. **Just-world Hypothesis**: This is the belief that people get what they deserve and deserve what they get, which may not always be the case. It explains why people often blame victims for their misfortunes.
9. **Mere Exposure Effect**: This psychological phenomenon explains why people tend to develop a preference for things merely because they are familiar with them. This principle is widely used in advertising.
10. **Broken Windows Theory**: This criminological theory suggests that visible signs of crime, anti-social behavior, and civil disorder create an urban environment that encourages further crime and disorder. The theory was used to inform policing strategies in New York City during the 1990s with some claimed success.

@@Straight_White_Fatherly_Figure thanks
The looming part is very important, get it done asap. That thought in the back of your mind is a huge distraction, and for me creates anxiety.
"4 pages, can't give you credit", jocks clearly never got into any deep scientific papers
Cheers Jocko. Three more 'laws' from the wise Mr. Parkinson: (1). "Expenditure rises to meet income." (2). "It might be termed the Law of Triviality. Briefly stated, it means that the time spent on any item on the agenda will be in inverse proportion to the sum involved." (3). "It is now known, however, that men enter local politics solely as a result of being unhappily married." If he were here now I suspect that he might come up with a law about the ending of a Zoom/Teams meeting. Something along the lines of "the meeting will finally close at least half its length again from the point when the meeting actually served any useful purpose" (though I am sure he would have put it much better than that).
Meetings exist to make useless people feel important. 😂
Lol! I like it.
