Hope you guys go check out the platform, so pumped about this sponsorship
I always put my phone away, and then a focused music and then I go at it 45 minutes, then a 15 minute brake :)
And during that brake I am free to do whatever, and then put the phone back again :)
And this is when I am editing a video :)
Thank you!

1:28 This man actually predicted my scrolling so hard that it shook me to my core
Fuck. Mine too.
The literal second I started he said that
Damn, are we really that predictable?
@@EVA_TESTT yes
Lmao right as I’m procrastinating on schoolwork 😂🤣
Gotcha!
Lol same

Thanks m8, you too :)
Thank you ❤️
How to increase attention span:
1) Lock yourself out of socials
2) Dopamine Detox
3) Meditation and mindfulness
4) Read before bed
5) Delete TikTok
6) Stop Multi-tasking
brother i appreciate your effort but dont give any sort of highlights bro , let others watch the whole video coz it's so informative , and others can learn how much they can get aware of their things , and they can learn a lot
I read this at 1:20 and thought welp guess on to the next video.
Inclined to agree, at this point?
Your self awareness is very admirable.
Thank you
Your editing is on point Cole!
Thanks man!
Lmao damn I rly started scrolling thru the comments as soon as the video started and then you called it out😂
I struggled with this a lot while unemployed; it's so easy to lose your attention when you don't have a place to stay occupied. I remedied this by getting back into writing; it's a chill hobby that starts my day on a strong note.
Admirable!
I’m so unfocused I don’t even think I can even finish this video😭
I believe in you!
@Cole Hastings I’m in the middle of class but I’ll try
@@h3nry155 lol so you’re multitasking?
@E Y More like when I finish something early I will go on TH-cam and wait for the teacher to start talking again
@@BuddyMac69 this comment. very much deserves a like
I TOTALLY AGREE! DELETE TIKTOK! I was so addicted to it back in February 2020 so I uninstalled it and never reinstalled it since then! It was the best decision I ever made
“The first and best victory,Is to conquer yourself” ~Plato
First of all, great video and I’m 13 years old and I’ve tried to spend less time on the screen and socialize more but it seems like everyone around my age is always on their phone and I kind of feel isolated from everyone else. Anyways that’s all from me, goodnight everyone
Me too bro , everyone around me is soooo focused on social media
Definitely try to use the tech to learn and understand more than just compare weekends on social media
i'm glad you understood that at this age. Good luck!
ur a champ stay focused sir
Thank you for bringing up this topic, Cole! Let’s conquer our attention back - I’ve always been good with it but I can tell that my attention span has been decreased over past years. Meditation is awesome training btw, fully agree. And also, what Goggins suggested is to sit still without doing anything for 10 mins. Might feel like an easy walk in the park but try it. And yes, tiktok is poison.
And well, I’ve made it through this video without stopping, looking through comments and switching to other activities. One try! Yay me.
Good stuff!
for some reason, u seem to address all issues i have which i'm grateful for ❤️🙏 keep up the awesome content !!
Thank you
Fr
been saying for a while now having a good attention span and being observant is a flex these days
I recently started meditating over the weekends and I must say, I’ve been very surprised at how I feel “mentally reoriented”. 10/10 would recommend to everyone
I don't really know how to
How are you doing 1 year later
When he said that most people only make half way through... it felt like my teacher looking a me while saying how the class has bad grades
haha my b
Wow, to be honest I never really finished most videos I opened. But I love watching your videos from the start to the end and not missing anything. So I only do 1 thing when watching your videos, never multi taking. Because your editing and story telling skills are so good!
I finish most my videos, I might leave text , check ig , check the mail, walk the dog, build a house , fall in love with my neighbor , get married, but I always come back to the video.
Do something today that your future self will thank you for 🗣💪🏽
FACTS
WOW i feel called out as heck HAHAHAH
Watching this at 3.5x the speed gave me an ominous feeling. The mix of the topic+background song+the fact that I'm watching a video about low attention span while i was struggling to keep my attention+the video talking about the amount of info we can have and i'm here trying to maximize the amount of information/sec i'm acquiring by watching stuff at 2.5x~4x the speed was weird.
My first ever video from Cole Hastings that I watched. 5 months ago and still an up and coming fan. Love self-improvement every since I turned 20 years old now 21.
Damn..that's exactly my problem right now, can't express how much I appreciate this video
I watched this video all the way through, and I’m proud of myself.
1. I don't have tiktok, tried it, didn't like it, and thats the end of it.
2. I actually watched this video til the end of it and do find this video very informative.
3. I do have attention span issue and I have been trying to figure out a solution, when u said "do not multitask", thats when I decided to subscribe to this channel.
Thank you :)
1.delete tiktok & snapchat
2.set timer for other social media like Instagram,FB,WhatsApp,etc
3.meditation(morning and night before bed)
4.small exercise
5.read minimum single page daily
6.do your all other task like study,work,sport,etc
7.reapeat this
I have deleted my accounts on social media as well as I have deleted social media apps on my phone (except TH-cam) and I am thankful that I took this step.
This is something I've been trying to work on, but it's SO difficult. It takes a ton of willpower to just stay focused on one video for its entirety, and go deep into a single task instead of bouncing around. Definitely still working on it.
You always do videos on the best topics
You always comment and for that I'm very grateful
my man's channel is about to blow up.... we need more of this content
Try replacing this "only for 5 minutes!" usage of your phone during working hours with reading a book - you'll be surprised how much more relaxed you become (since the breaks you're taking are actually meaningful) and how great it feels to accomplis even a 20 pages of reading by the evening!
It’s insane how much I struggled to do nothing else but watch the video. I wanted to scroll through the comments or my YT feed so bad lol
I know it's crazy.. he brings up meditations and I instantly want to close the video and try meditate
I think the reason I can get through videos like these and thoroughly enjoy them is because most of the content I consume when I'm trying to be productive or learn something is planned beforehand; I handpick videos that are relevant to what I'm thinking about at the time AND are audio-based that way I can easily listen to it in the background, and I compile all of them into a massive queue and just grind through it as I work
The TikTok thing is so true. I used to scroll on it for hours like I’d actually get to the end of it or something. Once I deleted it, I’ve been so much more productive and I get up and get things done. The only thing is now I’m out of the loop with memes from all my friends who use still use it, but I guess there are much worse things. lol
I know this.. it's hard to keep your phone away even for 20 minutes but I'm working on it.. and also started studying books.. and trust me it's very helpful...👍
Thanks, your videos are really helpful to me and most of them have something that im struggling with.
And alking about struggling... Struggle, challenge and rise to the struggle again! pretty sure you are going to get that reference.
Greetings from Chile!
I always watch from start to end.
Most of the yt vids i watch are watched fully, my recommended is fully of things i like and am interested in
Same
But thats how the algorithm works, it keeps you interested on their videos.
3:05 hey that’s a video from Hindz, I love his content
He's the boy
People attention span is getting shorter. Meditation , reading & practice will help to improve it
You did a pretty good job keeping me focused in this video
Thank you!
I watched full video .thanks I hope this really helps to be focused
I literally listening to this rn cause I can’t focus on my homework. It helps if my mind has something to switch back and forth between
hey, I genuinely watch all the way up to your beginning to end of your videos
and without a fail this ones too
8:00 SIT UP STRAIGHT COLE!
I always watch every video I start all the way through.
The only reasons I sometimes stop early are:
1. If it's an Info video: I got the information I was looking for early in the video.
Or
2. If it's the for pure entertainment: If the quality of the content is trash or not engaging.
oooooh thank you fr skillshare premium :)
also, I love all your videos as they are highly relatable and have been helping me through this havoc of self-help.
THANK YOUUUU
for some reason only when i watch informational videos or self help/betterment videos i can watch them fully through but anything else i be skipping everything😂😂
Hahaha i feel like it's the opposite for me
Rated withing the context implied by your titles, your videos are solid9/10 We are screwed 💀
I watch most of your videos cause you genuinely helped me. 😊
the only videos i get through to the end are 2 of my favorite TH-camrs
Thought this was excellent with a great deal of valid points! I 100% agree with what you said about multitasking. Oh, and I stayed till the end.👍😁
I honestly just listen to the audio of the TH-cam videos I play. I listen to your videos while I drive, workout, clean my car. Stuff like that. I find it hard to sit down and completely focus on a video, even if it’s a video I really enjoy. I at least have to be drinking coffee or eating something while I watch. I can’t just sit still and watch.
Cole, I'd like to reply to what you said at the start about not watching your video till the end, I personally used to watch half or more of our videos, and then for some reason I left, but nowadays I watch most of your videos to the end, I usually play video games like RPGs or just grind games in general while listening to what you say, it's just easier that way for me.
He don’t miss!!
No misses ever
Let’s not forget about vines 6 second clips. That app destroyed my attention span loool
Now it's tiktok lol but with 10 or 60 seconds
Love the tips. My husband and I did a detox before and it was super helpful! I also swear by meditating 👌🏻
Made it to the end 😎
Thank you so much for your reward ❤️
Grt work ,we need to be aware of the facts and save us from bad programming,share the best , people need this now
I appreciate myself for watched this video till end, thanks Cole
Weirdly, i managed to watch this video till the very end. Good job man!!
Great video thank you Cole
Damn, you got me. I watched this whole video because of this. Great content as always brother.
I’ve been slowing down and trying to do some fiction reading recently to improve my attention span. Anyone else?
Yessir me too
Me too
9:04 thanks, I was hoping someone saying that!!
Great Video Cole
Honestly this is exactly what I need right now. THANK U
Thank you for watching :)
yeah i can see this whole video without skipping
I will say this regarding the 4:34 average view time- I have never NOT finished any of your videos. If I'm distracted, I stop but I do eventually come back to finish it, and even that is rare - I usually watch in one sitting. I have been watching your high quality content for a very short amount of time (somehow I just found your channel a week ago when you were at 398k subscribers), and in that short week your videos have given me a lot of things to think about and act upon, which I have already begun doing. Thank you for doing what you do!
Cole hastings is best in class 😌
ive got like 10 tabs open and i cant finish anything lmao... this is a bit too relatable
We all do it
I have 4 windows open and in 1 window I got 10 tabs opened
same here man
I've got over 300 tabs, get on my level
Put your videos to full screen so you’re not distracted by suggestions. Turn all your notifications when you’re working or writing and out to full screen. I’m training my brain to focus on one task at a time. Reading a book now is a big struggle though, I’m so distracted by my peripheral vision
He congratulated us in 4:44 which is close to the average time his viewers watch. Smart guy.
Our reward for sticking through to find out the solution was, in reality, a well placed advertisement
Dawg you came in clutch thank you
I gotchu
Agree on the tiktok part. Same with TH-cam stories, once ur in ur in for a good chunk of time
Great Video bro, it helped me a lot. I downloaded the app instantly to start block netflix, insta and youtube 😄✌
Gold content. Keep it up mate
9:02 You may be able to escape Tik Tok by deleting it, but you can never escape TH-cam Shorts.
You are amazing bro🔥 Your content is awesome , keep up 🔥🔥
Aye! You follow HINDZ! Good stuff my man.
I can only speak for myself, and I don't think I have a long attention span. However, I use TH-cam for education, mainly, and surprisingly, I can finish 4-hour+ lectures, tutorials, and any informational news related to my industry. I have to admit that I have zero presence on social media (if you don't count TH-cam). Additionally, I'm a very visual learner, and perhaps that's the reason I'm able to focus on prolonged materials, especially if they are executed in a clean, focused, and concentrated format.
Keep up bro. Your videos are great ❤
would highly highly recommend "no distractions for TH-cam" legit changed everythingggg 😂🙌 great video Cole 🤙
Very cool to see that you also watch HINDZ.
Thanks Cole, I needed this video. 👊
i stayed away from social media for two days and suddenly felt so lonely:(
Thank you.
Hello! :) I've watched your videos till the end cuz I really like 'em. Especially the one about letting "that sh*t go".
...As for all videos that I watch, usually it's easy for me to focus on them entirely if they are aproximatally less than 20-30 minutes long.
Anyway, I want to say: I'm glad that I've found your channel =)
Your videos are so amazing they really do help us❤️
Thank you
Great video bro. Thank you❤️ And DAMN, almost 100k subs!! Congrats
I watch you till the end always
Thank you!
Hey, I watch almost every video till the end especially if they're entertaining or informative :)
Thank you I've been struggling to pay attention due to ADHD sometimes that the point I can't do simple task sometimes
Great video mate
Gotta appreciate your topics on your content. Always centre of attention and mandatory
Thank you
Just to buck the algorithm I bailed at 3mins. But good vid Cole. Meditation helps with focus.
Approaching 100k now!:D
Great video I always watch till the end
Thank you so much
