1. figure out what your priority is, the most important tasks. instead of doing too much, become concise (3-4) on your goals. if i only had 2 hours a week what would i do? 2. focus on progress 3. bargain with yourself about what you want to do what you should do 4. have a flexible routine 5. just pick a thing. it is easy to doubt yourself over what youre doing but instead of overthinking something just stick to one thing for a long enough time

Hamza Ahmed for masculinity and mental health. Iman Gadzhi and Alex Hamozi for money and business.

@@nonpoppinchannel1930 thanks bro, I've just checked it out (I mean the guy hamza) and I must say he has got something right at so many f***ing levels. Not yet sure about adonis school it's 129$ so I need a lil more insight but primarily I feel it's worth buying.

@Swatiiswriting Месяц назад

I really like that these videos are well-credited, well organized, and well-presented. I've seen a lot of comments about how this content is repetitive, but I have been watching for years and I'm still learning a lot from these, and honestly, I'm glad these messages are reinforced, and updated with the latest publications, so I can try and continue to be consistent.

@sarahs1368 Месяц назад

@JayPendragonWatches Месяц назад

@thabodlamini9306 Месяц назад

People fail to understand that it is repetition, routine and consistency that get you forward. It's borinng but it works. All successful people have some sort of routine they use.

@Starryphillic Месяц назад

Valuable takeaways to be consistent: 1. Make things easy to do, 2. Acknowledge our desires but bargain with ourselves to be consistent with witty desire grants, 3. For every goals, have three high-low level of ways to achieve & maintain consistent momentum 4. Stick to one system that suits you and transform your craft better, 5. Stick to do the things and dont quit

Ali. I find you so genuine and kind, your advice is so well thought out and tried and tested, for the most part that it eels like a kind, gentle nudge towards making my life, just a little bit better each time I watch one of your videos! You're making the world a better place, Ali! keep up the excellent work!!!!

@kunzhang8723 Месяц назад

I found that it is hard for me to start a new thing. I just tell myself 'Have a break.' With time going by, I finish nothing finally and regret myself. From this video, I know that I can do it in a small step, even making mistakes. Don't be afraid of making mistakes. It is normal.

Awesome advice Ali. Your videos are always gold! Learned a ton from your organization, studying, and RU-vid growth videos. One thing that’s helped me a lot with discipline if to set small “nudges” around my work or home to remind me of my goals. Even something like phone wallpaper 🙂

Such mind opening points Ali, I feel it's been my whole life that I have been struggling with discipline and consistency and everytime as you also mentioned we try to find that new/better path to sort of fix or make it better in place of just doing the easier thing which is sticking to that one thing and not switching. Thank you for this video... it really felt as if it was made for me.

@steffsunn Месяц назад

When you said you are doing too many things at a time, you spoke to me. For a very long time, I thought I was going crazy when I couldn’t just get myself to do anything but watching this video and also doing more research I realised that the reason I couldn’t be disciplined with myself was because I was doing too many things at the same time. Thanks Ali you are a real one ❤️

@JaponskiiBorch 8 дней назад

Thank you so much! Consistency in crucial! I make my own videos for RU-vid and sometimes I’m on the verge of giving up. That was extremely important for me to hear “Don’t quit”. Thanks a lot

@leadgenjay Месяц назад

Great insights on discipline, especially the part about the Lower and higher Self. Entrepreneurs can apply this by recognizing when they're operating from a place of instant gratification and instead focusing on long-term value creation, which often requires delayed gratification and strategic planning.

@tomncasper Месяц назад

Thank you so much, I really needed this rn for myself and also for the school presentation I am doing on self discipline 😁

@patrickthoms616 10 дней назад

Just want to quickly point out that at 27:00 Ryan is correctly saying "Euthymia", which means "good mood/ spirit", but the screen reads "Euphemia" which is a female given name and means something like "well spoken" :) Great video, thank you!

@mebakyabum4032 Месяц назад

As I'm on my 20s there are alot of times where i wonder why I'm not discipline.. instead of structuring my system which after watching the video made me realise the wrong things that I'm doing which is shallow work..😊 thank you so much Ali this insights will truly help me be more productive and discipline towards my goal

@isaacberger294 Месяц назад

Such a refreshing and heartening video. Thanks Ali for bringing your educated yet always relatable perspective on these topics. It really feels like a breath of fresh air amidst all the overwhelming advice out there from people like Iman Gadzhi (or Adrià Solà Pastor in the Spanish-speaking community). Not that there is no truth in what they say, for sure there is, but watching too much of their content consistently makes me feel hopeless and ashamed, while your video gave me a sense that progress is achievable and valuable. Believe it or not, I had never commented on a RU-vid video until today.

@elizabethbriggs492 Месяц назад

Truly, as someone who struggled with trauma et al for nearly 30yrs, I have been doing IFS Parts Therapy for not yet a year and it is AMAZING. Total reframe. Highly recommend, and despite all the introspection and healing and growth I had tried to do by myself and with other counsellors, I did not know this existed until I found this therapist and that was her method of work.

@allwatching4351 14 дней назад

1.) Know your main thing and focus on fewer things. We often struggle with discipline because we try to do too many things. Limit yourself to 3-4 major goals and focus your time on what matters most. 2.) Aim for progress, not immediate success. Becoming disciplined takes time - compare yourself to where you started, not experts. Lower the bar enough that you can take action consistently, then slowly raise it over time. The key is doing the process repeatedly to learn to trust it. 3.) Acknowledge the tension between your "higher self" and "lower self." Don't just shut down your lower impulses, but find a way to hear and integrate the different parts of yourself to find a balanced approach you can sustain. 4.) Establish a flexible routine. Having some structure enables discipline, but being too rigid makes it unsustainable. Find the sweet spot by using general principles (e.g. do deep work before shallow work) vs strict schedules. Have A, B, C goal levels so you can adapt when life interferes. 5.) Stick to your system, don't constantly switch. Changing methods frequently undermines discipline. Pick one approach and do it repeatedly - the consistency is more important than finding the "perfect" system. Avoid distraction and stay the course.

Another fantastic video, Ali, and one of my favorites of yours. I've been following your channel for years, am always pleased and surprised there are still so many things to learn -- I made notes after this video! I'm a freelancer recovering from an injury, and balancing everything and trying to find a routine is exhausting. This video was really valuable in helping to puzzle through that. I also appreciate your honesty speaking from your own experiences about things that worked, and others that didn't. Thank you. (Glad you're enjoying Horizon: Forbidden West, too! The Lady of Lore has some great Horizon vids to listen to.)

@jonm80 18 дней назад

Regarding #2 - I definitely feel that one. I would tell people to break down whatever you want to do into small pieces or steps, and if you're still not doing that, to just simply break down those steps into even smaller steps and eventually you can do the small things and go from there.

I like Ali's content a lot, but I also like the style of Jocko and Goggins, and I ran into their content first, a few years back. I think Jocko's and Goggin's styles of focusing on discipline are very beneficial also. Sometimes you really need that not-so-friendly attitude of "take a hard look at yourself and realize that YOU are actually the problem, and now it's time to change".

According to the video, it is about 5 actionable tips for self-discipline learned from Ryan Holiday, a bestselling author. The first tip is to focus on a few things. The speaker says that it is difficult to be disciplined if you are trying to do too many things. He recommends limiting yourself to 3-4 goals per year. The second tip is to identify your main thing. The speaker says that it is important to identify what is most important to you in life and focus on that. This will help you to avoid getting overwhelmed by all of the things that you could be doing. The third tip is to create a system and stick to it. The speaker says that it is important to find a system that works for you and then stick to it. This will help you to reduce the amount of decision-making that you have to do on a daily basis. The fourth tip is to be flexible with your system. The speaker says that it is important to be flexible with your system so that you can stick to it in the long term. For example, you might have a goal of working out three times a week, but you might allow yourself to skip a workout if you are not feeling well. The fifth tip is to don't quit. The speaker says that the most important thing is to stick with your system and not give up. He says that if you can stick with something for long enough, you will eventually be successful.

Thanks, Ali. This was really helpful. I have a quick suggestion that you might want to try removing the background music or lowering it a bit. The way you discuss stuff is excellent and engaging already.
