What to Do When You're Too Lazy to Stick to Your Habits 

Hahhahahahahahahahh power of the human brain right there

Ha ha

OMG I tried this too 🤣🤣 I fell asleep on floor

Comment section always make my day. Thank you sir for the laughter

Relatable

young and handsome with sponsors is the new old and wise????????

That man is really handsome and I'm a lesbian lmao

That man is handsome. I'm a straight guy, but I'm gay for him.

Same here! He's very kissable 🤔

I said the same thing just now hahaha. Right a the start. hahha

One thing that helps is to think about what you want. What is it that you want to accomplish? Keep thinking about that thing. Keep thinking about it. The more you think about it the more your desire for it will build, until your desire becomes a burning desire that compels you to take action and overwhelms your desire to be lazy.

Not if you implement the advice and take action. First thoughts, then action. Repetitive, persistent, goal-oriented action equal habits, however thoughts and a plan always come first so the videos can assist in that. However, all videos and no action is procrastination!!! Lol!!!

I'm actually doing this now

Lazinception

I'm not allowed to be not lazy here.

And you're a man u Fan, it can't be worse than that.

@@Restcb Yes, these are some dark days in my life. It'd help if Lingard vanished off the face of the earth

I feel this

MNU

Oh come on!

Exactly

Same

Put some spikes on the ground to prevent that xD

Funny thing is that I had already tried something like that myself and I did end up sleeping on the ground hahahaha

I'd suggest resolving to do only one push-up every time, say, for a week. Perhaps up the number of triggers, not push-ups per se. It'll feel ridiculous, but it's super easy to do BEFORE you fall asleep on the ground. And when you eventually increase the number, don't go straight to 50, as that'll bring you back to square one, in terms of mental resistance. Just do tiny gradual increases. I realized that the "all-or-nothing" mentality was a driving factor in my procrastination problem when I would look back at a wasted day *coughweekcough* and realize that, if I had spent only a small ridiculous amount of time per day I would STILL have been in a better position moving forward. Yet my perfectionism/pride was stopping me from doing these "too small" and "meaningless" efforts that would have opened the door for further improvement down the line, because I had this stupid notion that I HAD to do productive work in 4 hour blocks at a time, and without any gradual build-up. Just a personal observation.

Josh Mendoza congrats

Kingsley Anand thanks! 🙏

Josh Mendoza congratulations man I feel more motivated after hearing you story man 💪

Odyssey ひひ A Trill glad it can be motivating to you! Keep grinding and never give up!

Josh Mendoza thanks bro 🙏

Great!

Gonna adopt this for biting my nails

How are you doing now a year later

@@otaku_god3803 it has been 2 years, and I still haven't smoked since and never will!

@@daanverkuylen1016 why?

Mars that's brilliant. Waking up early gives you a head start and time in the morning, whereas early exercise gives a dopamine boost to get you in the right mindset to have the best day

I've also noticed that it gives me an extra 2 hours everyday, so I try to use that doing stuff productive :D

why r you bragging?

You're going to give yourself a seriously kyphotic posture without training the posterior chain as well.

@@oscar_jgr why don't YOU start something and be able to brag yourself?

Mohamed Khardal Same with me!! I love Thomas!!

You are not going to like what I'm about to say, but your judgement is too biased if you click the like button even before watching the video fully and evaluating it properly.

Kristina M. Yeah maybe but usually his videos are good 😁😁

Kristina M. If you think clicking the like button before watching the video and evaluating it is just biased, that button will be just for the effort he does and the motivation and support he deserves. I think it is not a matter of whether the video is good or not. If the video needs evaluation or clearing some points, it has to be here in the comments section.

Jacob Cox he has a podcast called college info geek that you might like too

Emily Legel Thank you for the heads up! I’ll definitely have to check it out!

So what do you do when ur up at 5am? Even when I manage to get up early I get bored and go back to sleep xD

@@xXTiggaBoBXx I try make chores for myself, starting from something real easy like making my bed.

@@Chewychewychoochoo yeah u r right doing simple chores like this actually helps

This is kind of embarrassing of me but I have very unhealthy habits and things I'm not willing to do because of laziness and I'm 14. I was brought up in a less then happy household and never learned basic things. So, now, who I'm living with is shaming me for not showering regurally and forgetting to brush my teeth, etc. Simple things like that, eating habits, other hygiene stuff, etc. It is so embarrasing but I'm working on it and it's hard because I wasn't brought up (even though I'm still a kid) to do these things. I just felt like sharing this with someone else that has or had similar issues.

Alina Titov I hear you. I’m quite older now but I had to go through a few phases of newfound motivation. For me it was unfortunately things like loss of a loved one (times two) and subsequent phases wearing black everyday for years. And that created a sort of a new / old goth mystique that, along with falling in love and having a good job @ a French restaurant, I was motivated towards healthy self-care. I wish you all the best, early bad starts sux, I know. Take good care of yourself.

Its kinda the definition of a "habit"??

how did it go

TOO TRUE!!!!!!

@@gabrieljames6971 it's 2:06 am I have algebra homework sitting in front of me and here I am.

Honestly my memeory is so bad from my sleep skedual I don't even remeber watching this video.

@@supercomputer0448 Honestly same here man xD

oh god before watching the video i'm reading this comment xDS (programmer to (sort of exactly, learning obj-c))

does always being a programmer come with being arrogant? i swear i've never met a programmer without that "humble bragging" attitude involved.

xenophanes that not being arrogant ... its just being NERD af

Aww... Programming is not hard. Programming logic is not hard. But there I will let a clue of how smart you are for not being able to understand programming logic. :)

xenophanes ikr, but try it for yourself: its Impossible to be actually Humble about programming in a comment... It Always seems cocky. But you're right, it should be possible to Just leave those Statements out of the comment section... Might be a better place :)

Μιτζι all the best my friend

Happy Facts Lifestyle thanks

how's it going

Where do you live???

How detailed of an answer to you want? The short version: Decide on one important task, clear your work area, use the pomodoro technique, and get an accountability partner or set consequences if needed. Long version: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-V0neHmyws3I.html

Air Elegant easier*

AJ yea just realized having grammar mistake Thanks for correcting

Air Elegant You're welcome!

That was a decent dialogue

I wish! Sounds good though :)

And I am Ahmed , nice to meet you both hahahahaha🐸

Lol, u seem excited

Agreed. Was so amazed :3

Even better is Netrunner at 1:28!

yup, that made it worse for me as well lol

why? cause u lke the game

that won't work. atleast work less than 25 mins or less if you feel lazy for you to have that momentum at anything.

Oh my yes

LorvicMeow pomodoro is helpful, kind of like the psychological hiit workout. The key is discipline and working it into routines (or rituals if you like Tony Robbins). Also, to discipline yourself try to do something that keeps your end goal/vision in mind. Vision is fundamental to success

What are you studying?

@@M3Lucky A PhD in Education Sciences :)

Olga S-Cruz ikr I do this all time

Me basically.

Is the app just called "habits" I see an app called "habits" by louis franco but it doesn't have any reviews.

OneDeaged same hahaha!

Try reading outside, or in a public place like a coffee shop or a library! Above all, don't read in a big comfy recliner or anything like that. I always get sleepy if I try to read on a chair that's too comfortable.

Siwaphat Boonbangyang where are you reading? Your environment is key. Also try using alternative ways in reading, such as reading in shorter, but more intense bursts

Siwaphat Boonbangyang I have to have some kind of background noise while reading. Have something on tv that’s not going to distract you, or what I prefer to do is listen to instrumental music. Pick something that isn’t too loud and distracting, but also don’t choose something that will put you to sleep. This helps me stay focused and create a zone where I can read while being able to stay stimulated enough to not fall asleep.

Read something that interests and exites you!

I get a lot of good advice. Many thanks guys.

Adrien Lenud Just do you+= habits

@@AJ213Probably lmao

Do something else at the same time take a shit or do dishes.

need to try this one out...

Catering to your impatience isn't helpful to you. it only reinforces that impatience, as well as a sense that you have a legitimate gripe. You don't. This video is 8-minutes long. If the topic is important to you and you can't manage 8-minutes of attention (again, for a topic you consider important)... the problem isn't *"3 metaphors before [you] get the key information."* It's your impatience. Period.

@@RichardHarlos Not if I find the metaphors redundant. Trying to claim the educational high ground doesn't make you look any more informed. The world isn't black or white, important or unimportant. One has to filter information in today's world. This video had me somewhat interested but not so much that I would want to watch through this onslaught of examples; especially since I already watched/ read a decent amount about this topic.

@@zil7692 , do you suppose this content creator tailors his content to a 'target audience' of people who've _"already watched/ read a decent amount about this topic"_ ? If you do, you suppose incorrectly. Read the channel description to see the 'target audience' this content is created for. Apparently, you're not it. That makes your expectations, as well as your criticism, irrelevant in the context of the target audience. *Context matters.* Also, your allegation that I'm _"Trying to claim the educational high ground"_ is vacuous. Perhaps you enjoy knocking down strawmen, though.

@@RichardHarlos You may rest satisfied in the knowledge that I never claimed to be a spokesperson for the exact target audience of this channel. Context matters, my friend. I comment from my own perspective. I'd wager that there is a decent amount of people who have a similar impression. Let that be the end of this moderately meaningful discussion, if not we agree to differ.

@@zil7692 , I never alleged you were speaking as _"a spokesperson for the exact target audience of this channel."_ Another strawman, it seems. What I said is that you were criticizing from the point of view of one who doesn't fit the description of the target audience, and that fact makes your criticism *irrelevant* in the context of the lesson. I'll conclude my participation here with an analogy in the hope that you find it insightful: Imagine you're an experienced firefighter. You sign up for a free seminar tailored to people who are interested in firefighting, but who aren't experienced at it as you are. Your criticism about the video is analogous to you criticizing that seminar for being too basic for you because you've already got a strong foundation in the field. If you'd read who the seminar was for (it's 'target audience'), you likely wouldn't have attended it. Or, if you did choose to attend, you'd (hopefully) realize that criticizing the seminar for being 'too basic [for you]' would be an out-of-context criticism, since that seminar is clearly *not* for experienced firefighters. If you understand that analogy, then you understand why your initial criticism about this video also stands as an out-of-context criticism. If you don't understand the analogy, then I doubt anything else I might share with you would make a difference. Either way, I'm done here. Cheers! :)
