I Tried Jordan Peterson's Daily Routine For A Week (work 14h a day!?) 

Good work Ben. Keep it up.

I am certain when Peterson says work 14h/d, this does not mean “at a computer”. Peterson’s work includes thinking, talking, preparing, connecting, and I’m sure your work can also be more varied than just at the machine.

- wake up same time - protein rich breakfast - plan your day - journal about yourself - Peterson works in 3-4 hours chunks - clean your room - learn to write - dress up everyday - don't lie - appreciate the little thing sin life

It's very rare that a hyper-successful individual shares the secrets to his/her success. I mean, most of the ones who are being asked will just answer "work hard" or something like that. Jordan actually breaks down what he needed to do to get where he is now and that is so valuable.

"Clean your room" sounds so banal, but it's actually incredibly powerful and transformative once you embrace the whole mindset behind that statement. I struggled a lot with life's bigger problems, until I realized that it was actually my neglect of small everyday things that was holding me back. Making my bed every morning and seeing to it that my house is in order (in a literal sense) has helped me stave off the chaos in my mind and given me the energy and focus to tackle the bigger issues!

I'm a Jordan Peterson fan and you did a great job summing up his day! Excellent content and great editing skills! You're going to the top, Ben!

For people looking for tips, the key is to make blocks and follow the blocks based on your situation. Take a small break after each block. Once you start scheduling you're going to mess up a ton. Don't stop trying every single day to do it as close as you can. Also, eating a breakfast of protein/fat, waking up at the same time 7 days a week, exercising and meditation are very helpful and end up making the blocks even easier. Don't be discouraged when you mess it up. It's very, very, very hard especially when the blocks are not externally monitored (like school, a job, etc.). I run a small business on my own and so there's no one who is checking in on my progress or status. This has been far more challenging than college classes, college sports or anything else I've done. You can't improve much day over day but over six months you can really make a huge change.

Loved this video! So cool that you did his daily routine, but also that you came up with the daily challenges and explained them as well! And great video editing too! 😍

Hey Ben! I liked the whole concept of having a daily challenge attached w the routine, pushes you to have a wrapper focus on the overall day… and the quality of the vid is phenomenal. As a guy striving for greatness in life, this made me wanna try this routine… hoping to see more such videos from ya, keep em coming champ 🚀

Hey brother, I rarely comment on things but I wanted to reenforce that this is great content and you will definitely continue impacting others meaningfully if you keep it up. Thanks for taking the time to do a great job 👏🏽

This video is so enlightening. Seeing a "normal" everyday person live similarly to someone like Jordan Peterson inspires me to do so in small ways each day!

This is so helpful Ben. Thank you so much for taking the time to break this down, and nice work on putting in the time for yourself.

Loved the visuals of this video, jump cuts etc made it super interesting and I couldn’t pull myself away. I actually started listening to 12 rules for life today by JP. What a coincidence…

Wow, the eloquence you have and the quality of production you provide as well as your commitment really surprised me for a channel this small. Great work man. Thoroughly enjoyed the video and learned some things as well. Thank you.

the most significant i see in this video is that you are doing something that most ancient savy and life coaches preach, that is to take a mentor and follow it, besides your great video of course; nice work man! keep it up

You got a real talent for doing presentations! I enjoyed it and now I feel like tackling a task I want to do today.

Jordan Peterson has inspired me to change my life in many ways. Love to see you attempting his daily routine. It helped remind me of some ideas I need to reimplement in my life. Great video and storytelling!

It’s cool seeing Petersons ideas realised in others. Great job!

Nice to see this schedule works well for others new to it. Its very inspiring to see other guys implement it and find productive satisfaction since it is something I'm only easing myself into. Also it was oddly funny watching you mark yourself at the end with school grades tho. Wish I could do that all the time for assignments!

Thanks, I like the advice from our internet dad but I enjoyed watching someone work out the challenges. It has inspired me. I’ve been wanting to do his self authorizing program and you are helping me be brave. Thanks.

This is great, thank you so much Ben for showing your journey. Very inspiring :)

Thank you for the time you put into this. The doing, explaining, editing,. Excellent.

loved every minute of it, so professional! the presentation was wonderful and really helped me in much ways. for the first time ever i watched a youtube video and took notes with it. much love!

Ben, way to be intentional in a world full of passivity. It’s easier to talk about things than to actually “do” them. Way to go! Inspiring.

I ❤️ JP!!🌻 he's helped me realize my potential and helped me get my life back on track.. Great video!! I feel like challenging myself n may try this n possibly vlog it 🤷‍♀️

This is a beautiful video. Seeing you so dedicated to this and ultimately benefitting so much from it was humbling. I am super inspired by this.

Great video. This is the first I’ve seen of this concept. A creator taking a catalogue of inspiration from a broad field of someone inspiring’s work and then emulating that.

Being purposeful with our time is a great point. I find it better to take a nap during my free time than doing something useless for the sake of using up that free time. Even staring out a window is beneficial to my progress because my mind sort of resets and I regain a natural inspiration to continue doing important things during the day, or I regain clarity on what I need to feel happier

Great video Ben! Glad I found your channel. You have great content just keep it up. Your other videos are just as great hope you get the recognition you deserve.

30 seconds into the video and I subscribed immediately. So much work and effort have put into this video, wow! Can't wait to watch till the end of the video and learn along with you but I already want to say thank you and well done! 👏

Bro I’m so glad to see your video, I’m 26 still studying in Uni, im studying abroad and living by myself, many of the time I feel like it’s so lonely to practice and study Dr. Peterson and other trustworthy intellectuals out there. By watching your video feels like watching a friend sharing the same goal and excitement in life, gives me a lot of motivation and the feeling of involvement😁 Great video, enjoyed it and am ready for another good day 💪

So good. Many things I do I don’t consider work… Bible study, prayer, Pilates, writing (I’m a writer but it’s a joy to be creative) cooking, guitar practice…cleaning my room/house 😂 Thanks Ben! This helped me realize i do more than I think.

I am a elementary school teacher and I preach writing in full sentences, texts etc. We know that writing and thinking benefits each other. So I cannot wrap my mind around it why we allow children to just cross out answers on test and fill in blanks instead of have them writing. I make my classes describe how and why they approached their art work, their math problem... parents fight me on this quite often, because it takes time and effort.

This is exactly what I needed atm. And wanted at the same time. Thank you so much for the video!!

Excellent video, went through the checklist myself! Love Jordan Peterson and I always appreciate listening, learning and gaining new perspective-Thank you! 🙂

Great video! I am a girl and I don’t know about 14 hours of work either, but you made me want to give this whole idea a try! I think I can relate to respecting yourself more if you work/occupy your time with growth.

Very good idea and video. I’m glad that we have someone like J.B Peterson in our times.

Fantastic video that I will be sharing with people I care about. Keep on Ben, this was awesome.

Awesome job of putting your experience and helpful information together in a way that is visually engaging and flows well… A+ for this video! 🤓

Awesome video, I had a rough year at university because I was lazy, a horrible thing which leaks to other parts of your life pretty rapidly... I came back to j.p. material this summer and found a summer job while also hitting the gym and getting ready for my fall exams. Thank you for creating this video because I will actually try and apply it for not a week but this summer and see what happens. Keep up the good work :)

I Must say: for the amount of subscribers you have, this is a VERY HIGH QUALITY VIDEO. Congrats, I really enjoyed whatching it. Keep the work ↑, because in a few months you could really reach higher and higher success 💪🏻

This is actually the best breakdown I’ve ever seen of Jordan Peterson’s life philosophy and I’ve been following him throughout his entire online presence! Thank you Ben so grateful 🎉🎊🎉🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Fantastic video, beautifully put together and delivered. Instant subscriber here!

I don't comment often, but I felt obligated. I actually laughed out loud at the "learning to write" section. Thank you for that!

Really motivating and inspirational. As a 32yo, I started my journey from a "Peter Pan" to a student of life a few years ago. I will do a week of this. Bravo! You have a bright future if you keep this up.

Great video!!! You have a very clear way of communicating your thoughts and experiences! If you write a book, I would love to read it! I'm a big fan of Peterson as well and appreciate the thoughtfulness he puts into his ideas and daily living. Again, great video!

Great Video! So glad yt recommended this

Awesome video man! Really instructive. Just one note, as other people have already mentioned, its not 14 hrs of computer work, its 14 purposeful hrs, working out, spending quality time with people and creating new connections can all count toward those hrs

I’m a 32 yo, been really struggling lately with my motivation and procrastination. Definitely going to give this week a shot. I know I’ve got it in me to work hard and be productive with my time but I feel my shadow has been taking the forefront for the last few months

Great video and production quality! I especially liked when you shared reflections throughout - keep it up! But also find time for yourself :)

Thank you for sharing this! I have been following Mr. Jordan Peterson for a while and always appreciate his straight forward outlook on life and excellent advice. Your video helped in giving me a more detailed schedule to follow. Thank you both for all you do! Blessings to all in love and light!🙏🏼💜🙏🏼💙🙏🏼💛🙏🏼🧡🙏🏼💚🙏🏼

Thanks ben, this inspired me a lot and I really enjoyed the whole video.

Yo this was so well done. I thought you were a way bigger channel! Subbed

Great editing!! Really enjoyed every minute

I love Jordan peterson, and i have watched a lot of these self help videos, but this is really an amazing video! You did such a good job if explaining the motivation of why Jordan Peterson does what the does and how it worked for you! Thank you for this!

Split schedule in 3 from Sunday to thursday, 8 hours mastering a craft 8 hours serving family/ community and 8 hours of rest/ relaxation/ self car(praying reading thinking and writing and sleeping and exercising). from Friday to Saturday focus on family time and resting and feasting from the labor that was done through out the week.

Thank you for this video!🤗 It came up on my FYP and it was truly motivating. 5 min in I went grabbed my journal for the first time in like 2 months. Now I do still have the rest of the vid to go so let’s hope I actually stop to write when I finish before my ADHD has time to strike 🤣. I do follow JP but I also find it very hard to listen to him bc of his fast speech, I guess it sorta makes me feel kinda anxious in a way like I have to rush to make notes, or continuously pause & rewind so a 20 min video might take me maybe an hour to follow. Your break down is super easy to follow, you nail the important aspects getting straight to the point, & You’ve been able to keep my attention which isn’t always an easy task so when I find ppl who can I make sure to 👍,✍️ & SUB. Thanks again 🤗

JP is the man and this is such a high quality video! Keep it up

I really enjoy how this video was put together and the content of it. Subscribed.

Cleaning my room as I hear this 👊

Thank you Ben, this video made me feel deeply encouraged. The idea of being en tout "purposeful with your time" and implement challenges on a structured foundation is a great and helpful concept for me to focus on. Thanks for presenting. 🦋🙌🏿

Really liked your production. It was very receiveable!

Wow. You have motivated me! Keep on making these! Thanks.

Good job, Ben. I sincerely wish I had had all this advice and Community when I was much younger, but I am also challenging myself to follow Peterson’s advice to “get your own life in perfect order before you criticize the world”. Better late than never. But trust me, you’ll thank yourself if you work on these things and get them deeply into your system now before you have a family to raise and be an example to.

I love reading Carl Jung's books. My first exposure to his writing was The Black Books. After that I read many of his books. I find his books to be very interesting and engaging. The way he writes or speaks is so compassionate. I can't explain how much I enjoyed/enjoy reading his books.

Really great work on the video. 💯💯💯

Great video, Ben. Thanks for sharing this useful and life-changing info. Keep going!

Is so great to see young people following the advice that will better their lives. That gives me faith and hope in our future generations. 🙏🏾

This has nothing to do with the video but i couldn't afford rent 2 years ago, now i can. Couldn't buy a tesla a year ago now i have both a tesla car and lots of tesla stock, my point is building wealth is in your mindset, work on that and your financial potentials becomes exponential, develop good habits like avoiding debt, cutting costs and regularly putting money away in intervals for investments .The stock market has plenty of opportunities to earn..I was able to grow to 7 figures on a diverse portfolio strategy spread across bluechips, top etfs and coins. my broker James Fletcher Brennan, handles all my investments and ensures I stay above the market

Thank you so much for the breakdown of some of his theories! Very good job!

Nice work Ben, Inspirational to see you do this!

Thanks for this! I’m going to try and live according this schedule for the next week! But I’ll be counting 7hours daily as a massive achievement!

I'm going to try this soon! Huuuuuge JP fan! I think 14 hours of work for me would be better defined as working towards my goals in the 3 or so departments of life where I have big goals to achieve

You did a fantastic job on this video my friend!

Loved your channel man. Keep it up.

Nice production value

Interesting. I'm not that much of a goal oriented person, but for two weeks I was programming my application like this: -few minutes light exercise -work until I get hungry -breakfast repeat: (-work until I feel stuck -walk outside/lay on the bed/eat/talk to someone) -2 LoL matches with my friends -boring work until I get sleepy Pure work was 10-14 hours. It's not bad if I can keep my motivation. We're different people, so the same daily routine can't work for all of us. But maybe I can use some of these tricks you mentioned. Honestly, I have always been the opposite of this... procrastinating until I'm out of time.

This is a great video.Presentation of the video is very impressive.Also it is very motivational .Keep up the good work.

This came at a perfect time. Many thanks for this. I'm starting a week-long challenge in a few days. all the best & keep it up, man. Greetings from Poland! :-)

Hi Ben, great job! I love your dedication and grit. May I give you a bit of constructive criticism? When making your bed, or doing anything for that matter, do it as well as you possibly can. This will help you to raise your standards and thus have an even better quality life. You're inspiring to many, keep it up!

Esse vídeo com certeza me deu muita força pra que eu continue dando meu melhor, aprender a articular as ideias, escrevendo e praticando realmente é algo crucial como uma habilidade. Ótimo vídeo !!!

I really appreciate you for making this great video. I really enjoy watching it! Thank you!

this was a great video, thanks for toning it down for us, because jordan feels like hes just on such a higher level of just do it, seeing you actually do it makes me believe that theres hope for me yet..

Really motivational! Thanks for making this video! I would give you an A+ for the video 🤩 How long did you spend working solidly between breaks and how long were your breaks? Why did you give yourself a C+ for this? Was your main goal to get more done or to achieve a higher level in some activity?

I actually wanted to try something like this that would get me to do my chores more efficiently, although 14h of work a day it's a lot .. I think I will lower it to 8 or 10 maximum because that's all I need really... I'll see how it plays out, really cool video

Alright my new friend. I have given you my subscription. Glad to be part of a new channel. Keep doing videos like this and you will do great!

This was an amazing watch! Thank you!

It's important to factor in the kind of work that JP does. Some jobs are personal enough that your passion drives you to be able to work those long hours. I don't know if working 100 hrs a week is sustainable for most jobs.

This video is amazing guy, One of the best i've seen in a while.

Well done Ben, good synthesis you made here. Keep it up. (Subscribed)

It's interesting that you mentioned the ultradian cycle that Andrew Huberman talks about. He recommends work periods of 90 minutes followed by a break for optimal concentration. You said you didn't even need a break after 3 hours of work. Don't you feel a dip in concentration after such a long time? What are your thoughts on this?

Pretty good routine. I am currently enrolled in a self paced online coding bootcamp. I want to glide through it relatively fast. I have almost completely free day for a few months and I am trying to find a good routine which is reasonable for a "normal" human to complete the bootcamp. Do you recommend Jordan's? Also, how long does he sleep in a day including the naps?

That was very insightful thanks! Thank you for sharing your take on this, I really do find it extremely helpful and have learnt a lot from your ideas 🙏

Great video . The concept was insightful. I might try this out myself.

I think you did an A+. Working 14 hours of day means you don't leave yourself time to handle cooking, cleaning, and so on so I like how you changed the language of work to mean "productive" and "meaningful." It's not like you have a wife to support you in other matters, you know? I also think that there is a difference between work that has deadlines and work that can ebb and flow on your time, like school and work full-time simultaneously for instance, which is hazardous.

I think a really good and rare trait you have is the willingness to buckle down and actually do this stuff, so good job and I wish you well!

I haven't been impressed with a youtube channel in a long time, congratulations your content is very helpful 👏🧠

I almost never post/comment, and I may not be very coherent, but let me get this straight... If you work for 14 hours/day ( no weekends ) and sleep for a minimum of 7 hours ( to be well rested enough ), that leaves 3 hours for spending time with family/friends, working out, reading, pursuing other interests, running errands, doing the shopping, having appointments ( doctors', car mechanic, etc ), not to mention the daily basic stuff like taking a shower, eating, cooking, etc. It seems seriously out of balance and unrealistic to me. Maybe some of the stuff has to be considered as part of the 14 hours of work in order for this to make sense, but for a normal human being, I doubt it's sustainable, and there is more to life than work ( which for most people takes the form of a day job ). While there are many healthy and good things to take away from this routine and these principles, I still think it's gloryfing an unhealthy/unbalanced lifestyle under the mirrage of being "productive". I am not saying that you shouldn't work hard...but I think being more efficient with your time is better than just doing more. 8 hrs / day is more than enough under normal circumstances, in order to leave you with enough time to invest in all other aspects of your life, which are equally important ( if not more so ). I am a bit tired of all these unrealistic theories that create that pressure to work all the time, and if you do otherwise, you are perceived as being "lazy" or "unproductive". Is this what life should be? Working for more than 80% of your waking hours? prioritizing this over all else, like family, children, faith, health, etc ? I appreciate many of Dr. Peterson's ideas, and I think in many ways he's brilliant, but as with any public figure, influencer, intellectual, etc we should always try and be objective and analyse and think for ourselves before blindingly following anyone's ideas just because we admire that person. Anyway...rant over.
