1 - Organise your tasks. Do the most important things first. 2 - Digital detox. Reduce the time you spend on your phone, social media, etc 3 - Consistency. Doing good things regularly over a long time will make improvements. E.g. go to the gym 3 times a week forever instead of 5 times on one day and never again 4 - Make a financial plan. If you have money then that's good. 5 - Exercise. If you're healthy and fit then that's good. Fantastic insights.
Thank you. These videos are more and more becoming the same repetitions of all the basics that everybody already knows. You comment saves people a lot of time.
@@PaddyFullyRandomyes, but those of us that know need a pep talk from time to time. Keeping things forefront in your mind makes them easier to remember and be motivated to do. Redundancy doesn’t exist in education.
@@M_SC I can see your point and I was on that team for a long time. I've noticed that it's basically just another form of procrastination - consuming content instead of practicing the learned knowledge. For me, I have replaced most of it with a few written reminders in my living space. I still consume some self help content, but I've gotten pretty good at aborting when I notice that something is just yet another rehash of known concepts and has no new ideas.
This saved me from watching the whole video. I don't mind consuming content in moderation but what has become absolutely unbearable is the constant background (noise) music that all content creators now use. It is annoying and frustrating, and instant sensory over load. Can we not just listen to someone talk anymore. Ok, rant over. Thank you.
i once heard the quote that’s something like “the cost of procrastination is the life you wanna live” and it’s stuck with me since. I still procrastinate of course, but definitely less than before I read that quote
I’m definitely not doing everything I’m capable of… but also I don’t know that I want to reach my potential. Taking life slow, having a ton of down time, achieving financial and time freedom, and feeling at peace and rested has been so enjoyable lately. Spending a lot of time online is free and keeps me occupied when I’m not working or working out. Keeping it educational and philosophical is important, but idk what I’d really want to do IRL instead… The internet taught me to knit and sew and cut hair and garden and preserve food and bake bread and PT my glutes to better support my knees and keep chickens and budget and invest, and loads and loads more. I’m not sure that I want to achieve more than a simple, happy, free life with my family.
It is so ironic that we were all taught as kids to prioritize things in everyday life, do homework before play etc. But somehow when we became adults we forgot all that and have to be told to do the chores/errands before playing with social media or chat with friends. 😂
True, but it can also be the downfall of many who have anxiety or OCD and are people pleasers. Instead we become workaholics, who don’t put our own needs first to take care of ourselves and never take time off to enjoy life or figure out what is right for our own lives. My family and husband think I am too rigid and won’t be flexible enough to let things go and have fun every once in a while.
Hi Gabe, this is a little off topic but if you ever wonder who your advice and life lessons reach and if they make a difference, I'm here to say that they do. And I'm also here to say, that you're never too young or too old to learn a thing or two from others. I'm 56 years old and I'm still learning a lot. I quite enjoy your You tube/channel (whatever you want to call it) and I honestly appreciate the help in advice that you have given. What you do, does make a difference. I just thought you needed to know that. Kudos for being you. :)
Hey Gabe, nope, definitely NOT living up to my potential currently!! Thanks for the big nudge. I really enjoy your videos - they're not too long and always contain valuable wisdom, thank you 🙏😊
Good video Gabe. I laughed at 100 push ups being "something that's obtainable" for someone wanting to get in shape. Targeting 2 push ups is probably more appropriate.
20 is a good target. It may take you some time if you’re not practiced. If new, then aim for 10. Many people do sloppy pushups so focus on crisp technique.
Brilliant as always 💚 Always informative, Digital-free zones are a great idea! ... I don't think I'm living up to my potential... Will work on it. Consistency is key .. Have a Favorite weekend!
Having a RU-vid channel myself, I am always on the app for "research" so using timers is a great idea for me. If I get on to respond to comments, check my videos, etc it doesn't take an hour. Limiting the time with a timer is a great idea to pull me back into productivity when I get lost scrolling. Keep up the great videos! :)
The digital detox concept really resonates with me. It's crazy how much time we spend on our phones without even realizing it. Grayscale mode might be my next move!
Hey Gabe, you have great ideas and I have already improved my every day life and finances so much since I've been following you. Thank you so much, greetings from Germany 😊
I like how you frequently take a holistic approach to your mindset, your habits, and your life. it’s important on a regular basis to train your mind and body and spirit. many times when we grow up, we get lazy and apathetic and it’s easy to blame other people or take the easy path But many habits start small and you just have to build them into your routine until it’s just what you do and who you are. Fitness, let’s say you start a new habit to do five push-ups and five bodyweight squats every single day that is a very easy and fast habit to do Then in time once you have that dialed in for a couple months, then see if you can go for 10 or even two sets of your 5 every day. You probably spend way more time than that using Tech every day. Basically, taking a small habit that is achievable then you can build on it rather than trying to do hours and hours of complicated habits It’s much better to do five push-ups a day for the rest of your life than to do five once a month or whatever After doing the Saint Jude push-up challenge last year year, I added doing one set of push-ups every day to my daily habits list. Usually I do 25 at least, but I can do more as desired. I do have that baseline as the default though I added a reading habit four times a week, and my minimum threshold is five minutes. often I could read for much more, but I find that just getting started is usually my obstacle James clear’s book atomic habits is very good at talking about these things also thanks again, Gabe and everyone here and have a great week
Gabe gabe gabe gab gab gab? Fangsle round the clarmers daughters, hiding all the sunlight's good for us. Be calm Timothy and eat your foolscap litany of dreadful rumours. After all, the bishop does not tangle his diocese with the diaspora of the malevolent cursory of the mere tongue induced street mongering cadence of other distractions does he? Of course not...which is why they need to have faith in us all remaining as the good sheep that many people are, and of course the good lord shall provide all, Amen. After all, we can all wax lyrical about our attributes with refined superlatives and equivocal reasoning about ourselves and our 'acclaimed' proclivity toward supposed 'absolutes' But not so the meaning of such postulations in respect to the 'mere popularity' of contemporary conceptualizations. ...Wait a minute...I will just play the worlds smallest violin to console you.
How did you get a video of me throwing ropes at the gym!? 😉 This was such an apt video as I'm read the Bullet Journal book by Ryder Carroll and Tranquility by Tuesday by Laura Vanderkam. Thanks, Gabe!
I don't think I'm living up to my potential only because I know what I want, but some of the legal steps to get there have been really hard for me. I need to get a certificate and I am struggling to study. I also know that it's only a small part of what I need.
Question - I do waste time on FB etc but I can't just delete it as there are some thing (kid's school/sports etc) that often only announce things on their page. How do reduce time as I do need it for somethings but 90% of the other stuff I don't need and it just becomes a procrastination tool.
do everything with the phone…water plants, play music, shop, check/set house temp, turn on appliances, take pics, save important receipts. I don’t get stuck on my phone..the screen is too small. I use it for getting my everyday tasks done. Sorry but the phone advice is bad.
Skip the clickbait 'fix 87% of your problems' baloney. Where did you support your claim that 87% of ones problems will be fixed? Words have meaning so don't throw them around.
