00:00
the less we do the more productive we become i'm not saying that we should lay in our bed
00:12
watching tiktok or binge watch the new trendy netflix show and do nothing about working towards
00:17
our goals that obviously doesn't result in improved productivity what i mean by it is that
00:23
we get focused through subtracting things from our life not by adding and that's why productivity
00:28
is bullshit because what people do is that they try to cram as much as possible into their to-do list
00:33
and try to do as many things as possible and that's how they define productivity
00:37
the more things we do the more productive i become they say in this video i'll tell you why that's
00:44
bullshit i see people watching youtube videos tiktoks or even reading whole books about how to get things
00:49
done when all they're doing is really just continuing to procrastinate on actually getting
00:53
the thing done that's why the secret isn't to do more it's to do less we want to get as much
01:00
things as possible away from our schedule why we want to do this is because the only thing we have
01:04
in our life is energy and time and we only have a finite of energy and time during every day
01:09
every day is always going to be 24 hours when we follow the traditional advice that's mainstream at
01:17
this point which is pretty crazy this is where our energy goes it goes into all of these different
01:22
things and we make a little bit of progress in a lot of things what happens when we get rid of all
01:28
of these other things and just focus on one thing instead we add up all these lines which resembles
01:33
our progress and we make this much progress instead so when we follow the traditional trash advice of
01:38
the more things we do the more productive we become this is the amount of progress we are able
01:43
to achieve the people that become the best in the world in sports in business or in school they are
01:48
the ones that focus all their energy on one single activity so this sounds great in theory but how do
01:55
we actually apply it to our own lives what are the specific things we could remove from our daily
02:00
routine so that we can make more progress in our profession whether that's in business school or in
02:05
sports it's impossible for me to know exactly your goals and the obstacles in the way but the biggest
02:10
thing we waste the most time on is entertainment and more specifically social media video games movies and series
02:17
don't get me wrong entertainment is a great way to relax to fill out the times when you're bored and
02:22
don't know what to do the problem is that we spend too much time on getting entertained instead of
02:28
actually doing the work the thing we can do to drastically improve our productivity right now in
02:32
school in business in sports is by throwing out all of the unnecessary things such as partying
02:38
being on social media watching youtube netflix and playing video games
02:41
you want to become more productive otherwise you wouldn't have clicked on this video and this is
02:50
the answer either you can act like most people watching this video and just click away from this
02:55
video without having changed anything or you can act like the successful type of person that you deep
02:59
down are the person who takes this advice and actually makes a change prove not to me or any other
03:04
person watching this video but prove to yourself that you can do this remove all the distracting
03:09
social media from your phone and take a break from the video games and just for the next two weeks
03:14
focus solely on making progress towards one goal towards your goal you will see incredible progress
03:19
in these upcoming weeks i promise that you will realize how stupid it was that you used to waste so
03:24
much time on tiktok instagram and netflix are you going to be the person who watched this and say
03:28
this doesn't apply to me because i've already tried this or yeah that's true and i'll do this later
03:33
or are you going to be the person that will leave this video and actually make a change
03:37
the person that actually takes action on advice instead of just consuming you choose what person
03:43
you become after this video that's all i'd say in this video i'm out
