Gosh, for me in China, we had that for 3 strait years! Before that, I'm a bachelor, but I'm a 11-month-old baby's father now! Return my lost 3 years, plzzzzzz
While uninstalling social media is fantastic, and something I have sustained for the last few years, I have come to realize that it is a bit superficial. My mind has just come up with other better distractions now. The app isn't making you waste time, there is something inside you that finds the app a convenient thing to do, probably something that is uncomfortable with the current moment and wants to "escape" in some way. So, my new year resolution is to examine my own drives and motivations as closely as possible, by asking myself *"Why am I doing this?"* and *"Is it actually having the effect I intended?"* and listening deeply for the answers, as often as possible.
I went down that root as well, and noticed the same thing, but i noticed i did replace it with more watching videos on youtube, and when i noticed that i progressively curated the content i watch, aiming mostly towards learning something. Opposite to facebook or twitter where I'm bombarded by superficial people and falling into that "envy trap" where you want to do what your friend did after you saw pictures if his new car, new house, adventure etc. Also i found less toxicity on youtube (if you curate your stuff). That being said, being distracted is not a bad thing that should be 100% avoided, your mind needs the distraction and the entertainment, needs to wonder. Best thing to do is when you see you mind keeps pulling you away from being productive maybe you should give it that time of distraction. I am a developer and i often notice that when I'm stuck and go do something fun even for 10-15 minutes, I tend to solve issues almost instantly. Everything in moderation can be a very good thing :)
This also happened to me. But instead of litterly days of doing nothing but TH-cam and Instagram, I started to distract myself with much more useful things that made me feel better. Like writing, drawing, reading. And all that kind of stuff. Eventually I did downloaded it again bc I had the feeling like I was missing out a lot because I couldn't understand memes and certain thing that were only on Instagram/youtube
Its not really that superficial, the apps are designed visually and psychologically to make you spend more time on it. So when you ask "why did i waste so much time arguing to this random stranger on Twitter" its bcoz the app was designed to show u opinions on stuff that u have liked or yourself posted. So deleting the apps definitely helps.
The problem is sometimes a person will always delay the time to commit their goals, i havent gone to the gym for 2 weeks now, and thats bcoz everyday I said, tomorrow's morning I will, And it's pretty nice/cool to do something alongside every body else,
I’ve kept my New Year’s Resolution for about the past 25 years or so: to never make a New Year’s Resolution other than the resolution to never make a New Year’s Resolution. Gotta work smart, not work hard.
What gather from memeory: -Start small. I mean really small. -Set very specific goals -Track your progress in visible ways. -Change your environment to make up for lack of will power.
I know you won't read this but, this video literally changed my life. I work out more, I am making good progress on my second novel and I even started a podcast. All because I now make resolutions and stick to them. Thank you so much for this.
Read one sentence every day. I have around 50 books on my shelf, including Atomic Habits that I never went past few pages. One sentence is actually a very achievable goal.
I really like this (I'm thinking of doing something similar). but I feel like maybe one page could be a better goal? Going a sentence at a time could be hard to track, and reading a single page couldn't take more than 5 minutes, right? Best of luck!
@@CoconutJewce whatever makes you stick with the habit. I considered one word, one paragraph, and one page. Its actually the act of picking up the book and starting to read that takes the most discipline. Everything else is easy. By the way, last year's goal was 52 books in any format. I successfully *collected* 52 books :-)
Good one. I have a few books as well which I bought a few years ago but haven't read yet. I'll make it at least one page instead of one sentence every day though, otherwise I won't be finished within the next 10 years :P
Great resolution I hope you reclaim your time, just one thing though; Since you've posted this in a TH-cam comments section, should I take it your plan is to outsource this task?
I'm currently on my New Year's Resolution from 2019 where I encouraged myself to listen to new music everyday and so far I'm at Day 362 where I listened to 362 albums I've never heard of before.
That's Really Easily Told And Readily Done Every Day.... Just kidding that's actually a fun Acronym. I apologize for being a jerk. Sometimes I just can't help myself.
Better to set SMARTER goals: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Time-bound as well as Evaluated on a regular basis and Recognized/Rewarded when achieved or Revisited when not.
I thought that was the point of him turning around and showing that room. "He's about to commit to organizing that." +1 on Atomic Habits. [goes to try sticking to some habits again]
Officially registering for my engineering PhD in a week's time, will be a decade's worth of continuous studying by the time I'm finished. Still sticking to my yearly resolutions to keep the motivation flowing!
Bathing is actually not recommend to daily. The habit of showering daily is kind of new and while it may sound counterproductive, showering every day could be bad for your skin. Dermatologists only recommend a shower every other day, or two to three times a week.
Coming back to this video 7 months later and in that time I’ve lost 40 pounds, committed to working out regularly, got a new job that’s way better than my old one and really started taking my life seriously for the first time. Idk what it was that clicked in my brain this year, I really can’t say for sure how much this video had to do with it but I will say that the strategy I used was pretty much exactly what you laid out here. Small incremental changes week after week that slowly add up over time. It’s crazy how much better my life is now compared to how it was when this video came out. I have my own place, an investment portfolio and I’m finally on track to actually get sober by slowly eliminating all the drugs and unhealthy food I’ve been addicted to for decades. I’m like a completely different person. This time last year I was 185 lbs, ate fast food multiple times a week and took as much as 15 grams of phenibut a day along with the suboxone I used to get off heroin. As I type this I’m completely off suboxone and down to 2 grams a day of phenibut. I don’t eat fast food at all and just prior to watching this I ran an 11 minute mile. And if that doesn’t sound impressive just know that I haven’t tried to run in literally years and keeping a steady pace of 5.5mph for an entire mile is a huge accomplishment for me especially as it followed a workout that included 100 pull ups, 200 push ups and 300 squats. Anyway sorry I’m totally rambling here it’s just that this video reminded me of how far I’ve come since you uploaded it and I’m really stoked on all my progress. One day at a time, taking small steps in the right direction is the way to go. Two years ago I was addicted to heroin and had nothing going for me so if I can do it anyone can.
This is a great plan! I don't know how addicted you are but normally it is not that easy. Try doing some resarch on how to get of a cigarette addiction. I hope you will succeed and therefore statistically live 10 years longer not die from lung cancer
firemanJeff911 I hope you succeed. I can’t imagine how hard it is to get off something truly addictive, I have only really been addicted to cookies and youtube.
Hey dont even think about it like that. Try being mindful of your smokes until then and keep your attention on the taste, the breath, the smell. If you focus on the bad rather than short feel good feeling it gives you, you would want to stay away. Best wishes!
My new years res: I'm going to shower a minimum of every second day. I've been a bit down in the dumps recently, and eating well and keeping up with hygiene are easiest ways for me to stay, at the very least, well. It's something small and quantifiable. I going to do well. And if I ever do break it, I'll get back to it that day. It won't take me too long and it'll help keep me afloat
I was actually really proud of myself, I kept my 2019 resolution it throughout the entire year, and am still doing it. It was to gain more muscle by working out. I don’t yet have one for 2020
The cut at 1:03 actually bothered me ;) He is moving the camera across the imaginary line between the subject and the main object in the scene (the computer screen), which makes it swap from being on the left of him to being on the right of him. This is discouraged in video/movie cutting literature, because it "reverses" the scene, confuses the viewer and makes the cut super obvious. He's also cutting while nothing else is moving in the scene. It's better to cut just an instance after starting some movement.
Thank you, Derek!!! 👍😃 My 2020 Resolutions Increase Attention Skills - Meditation (≥ 5 min daily) - Focused Reading (≥ 5 min daily) - Track Time Spent on Things (evenings, daily) - Do things in small spurts (≥ 2 min, daily) Self Care - Get on a consistent sleep schedule (bedtime, waking hours) - Aerobic Exercise Every Morning (Run, Pushups, Pull-ups ≥ 3 min daily) Life Goals - Finish School (by Sept.) - Get Drivers License (by Nov.) I have more details written in personal notes on how to accomplish but I didn't want to clutter things here anymore.
I'm still holding strong to my 1993 resolution to never ever take new year resolutions. But we never know, really. Maybe 3 days from now I'll have a weakness and fail. :P Happy 20s! Stay awesome.
If that fact affects you psychologically, then definitely consider January 1, 2021, the first day of the new decade. Sounds like a good plan anyway . . . :/
I lost about 15 lbs on a diet I created/started in Sept/Oct 2019. I plan to lose at least 20 lbs more in 2020! I'm on my to become The Ultimate Chaz! 😂 I've been a minimalist for 10+ years, all his suggestions about minimizing distractions/apps/news are totally useful and beneficial. 👍
I've also deleted my all social media apps from my phone couple of days ago. I'm quitting social media this year and I'm now even more motivated seeing Derek is doing the same☺️
I’ve been writing down what I do in each month. I do it by writing things I do like events on post it notes, then by the end of the month I write it down in my journals and make it nice. It’s nice seeing how many things you accomplished in each month and how time flys by. This will be the second year I am doing it and I am happy I am 🖤🖤🖤
Great idea. I'll have to try this one. I made a chrome extension with similar functionality as the Every Day Calendar he mentioned. I named it 'Daily Calendar' search for it on the chrome web store. chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/daily-calendar/lkkkefhbalahadmibjblecekgamffdek
The ancient Babylonians have been the first people to make New Year’s resolutions, 4,000 years ago. They were also the first to hold recorded celebrations in honor of the new year

I watched this video around the time it was published and it motivated me to do short daily exercises on Duolingo from then on. And now my streak just reached 1000 days. The principle of starting small but consistent is quite effective. Thanks, Derek.
Would like to laugh but really, but really, using youtube casualy has become such a pain. These 5sec advertisement videos take away probably more time from me than I am willing to waste on such a pitiful company. And as much as I love to follow some content creators, it's becoming stupid how much this website is wasting my time..
My New year's resolution: Waking up before 7 AM. You guys should try for 5 AM. Trust me, you'll be massively more productive. But you'll need to sacrifice night time instead.
I'm a father of two and a math teacher. I have always struggled with, but know the value of recreational reading. My eldest hates reading and I want to inspire him. Research shows that children who see their parents reading will be more likely to read as well. My goal was to read a book each month. I've tried this before and failed. This video convinced me to start small. My improved goal is to simply read in view of my children everyday with no time limit. Just so they see that their daddy reads for fun.
Don't under estimate how difficult that could be. If you've been trying to be someone else for a long time you may not even be aware of who you really are, and how "you" has changed over the years.
I made a new year's resolution ~20 years ago that I have kept 100% and I plan to keep going forward. Never to give another new year's resolution again.
Here are my New Year's resolutions: 1. Start exercising again. Around a year ago I relapsed back into a sedentary lifestyle after living healthily for six years, having in that time gone from obese to just slightly above average weight. I'll do this by creating a specific exercise schedule for every day of the week excluding weekends, like I had before. Increasing my muscle mass will make it easier to lose weight, which is what I'm hoping to achieve with this. 2. Improve my diet. Though candy isn't really a problem for me, I'll start to buy more vegetables and store them on the counter rather than in my fridge, like Derek advised. I think vegetables are great, so this will give me a way to eat more of them. I'll also be starting a food diary, which is something I used to do. 3. Study well for my matriculation exams. Though this will only apply for the beginning of the year, I still want to make this a resolution, seeing as how much of an impact it will have on the rest of my life. I'll start work on all of this on the first of January. If you happen to be reading this after that, please ask me how I've been doing! That way I'll feel more inclined to follow through. I wish everyone luck with their own resolutions!
rayan8031 Ashutosh Mishra Wissam El Kadamani So far so good. It's only the second day now but I've made my schedule for the week and did some squats yesterday. I'll be doing some crunches later today. I'm going to start off easy so that I can build routine, so I'll be moving to the harder stuff later on. As for my diet I bought some vegetables yesterday and I've rationed all of my christmas candy for later. My studying is also going well so far. Let's hope I can keep this up.
@@noob19087 great!, I too had a good day today, went for walking and excercise, i live at hostel so i can't buy any vegetables here , but still had a healthy breakfast and lunch. Did some journaling, other than that it was a good day, let's hope to be consistent!!
The first youtube video that aims to kick you out of the endless youtube procrastination loop instead of dragging you in , Thanks and a Happy New Year to you ,Veritasium!
My goals for 2020: - Meditate for at least 1-2 minutes/day to begin (so I can hopefully increase this length as I complete this) - Journal my feelings and moods whenever I feel down (to track my feelings) - Post one blog post to my new blog every month! - Stretch/Excercise once/week - Limit my sugar intake to 2-3 sugary treats/day (to start) - spend 30 minutes coding per week - If I see an opportunity, actually go for it instead of thinking about all the "what ifs?" Thanks for the Video
I will give you a tip and that is to just go out there and get a hobby that interests you. Doesn't need to be expensive or anything. Just a place where you go every week to do something with people.
Here's 3 that would hopefully help you achieve them. 1. "No thy self" Just be you, stop worrying what others project on to you. Know who you are, where you've been, what you've learned, what "triggers" you, what you love, who loves you, who you will strive to become, the type of person you are to everyone around you .. and just be content with who you've become and what you've achieved so far. 2. "...and i, I chose the one less traveled by" Get out of your comfort zone, go to a library.. Saay, EVERY Saturday for an hour+, read, study, learn and without anxiety ("and only 3 secs of confidence") look one person in the eye and say "hi". Your self confidence will grow.. And you never know who you might meet or what you might learn from them. 3."the body always follow the mind" Eat right, sleep right and exercise for only 20 mins 2x per wk (all helps with depression and your mind and body will thank you) Mindfulness meditation can help too to quiet the mind and negative thoughts, centers you in the moment and can help you realize it when you're not (when anxiety or depression has crept in). Research it all at the library👆 As for the job... Don't sweat it, Work on the first 3 and when you're ready, apply to all that sounds right to you, only a few out of a dozen may respond with an interview.. Come prepared and if the first company doesn't offer a job..who cares..take the learning into the next interview and if it is meant to be it will happen.. And a lot of times it's just who you know.😉 Stay positive, one foot in front of the other and Keep smiling bud. Last cheesy yet insightful quote✌ "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." Sincerely Mark
Another big helper: accountability! I hiked the entire Appalachian Trail last year, and something that helped me was telling every single friend and family member I could. I would have had a lot of explaining to do if I didn’t follow through!
@@sandipanaich I know it's meant to be funny but fr, if you motivate yourself to get up for your class and attend for 2 mins (so you don't have to sit through the boringness), eventually you'll just want to attend for a bit longer. Ngl you should do that
I was literally about to post this comment, and I see yours at the top of the list... >_> My New TH-cam New Year Resolution is now to find something new to say.
Great video - as usual. It reminds me of something my finance professor said in graduate school. He said, "What gets measured, gets done." He went on to say, "it's not the task which becomes tedious, it's the recording of the measurements." It's one reason why wearables like Fitbit, Apple Watch, and Oura are so popular. The tedious part is done for us.
Saving or investing is non specific, and 50% seems like overkill. Maybe go smaller, I'm doing 20% and I'm counting things that I do for myself as investments too, like gym and medical insurance money.
@@GeoffRichards_GP yeah that's exactly it. My savings rate this year was 40%. And saving/investing is not vague for me, I invest 90% in high cap stocks and 10% government bonds. Just as background, I am very actively pursuing FI (not so much the RE) in FIRE (financially independent, retired early), and with my savings rate, I will hopefully have a fully-funded lifestyle by 35, in 7 years. Good luck with finances in 2020!
@@everydaydissociation personal development is definitely investment. But those are spending categories for me. My investments are strictly paper/real estate assets that produce income. Healthy finances to you for the next year!
I genuinely didn’t make any New Years resolutions because I knew I would not be able to achieve any of them, if I were I would say, try to become a happier person, no self harm, try working out more, be more outgoing. Those I don’t think I would achieve well because of my low self control, and low self esteem. This was really helpful, so thank you, and thanks to my boyfriend for showing me this.
Same problem. When one year ago I decided to uninstall Instagram, I got kind of addicted with TH-cam, that is impossibile to uninstall, or in general it's really easy to use (through the browser). I'm trying to use a different Google account (so my feed won't be as interesting as before), setting a different language on my phone and Google account (like Deutsch). Effective but not so much.
Im an Indian High School student, preparing for JEE ADVANCED (one of the most difficult high school exam in d world) and on 17 May 2020, im going to write this exam. Also I'm in Kota, a city where they give you additional tutorials for this exam. I did my part fairly good during our preparation time of 2 years, but now, Im not revising the things in the best possible manner and thats why I've started going down the charts. So my (late) new year resolution is to follow the most important 5 words: *Discipline *Dedication *Smhard work(smartly, hard work) *Karma *Balance And get the BEST out of me. And get back to where I belong in the rank list.
Stay positive ,don't get depressed if you are.short of ur what u hv desired to achieve ,most students repent more on what they hv not done rather than to focus more on what they can do in the remaining time
Man, I’ve following you for years and never commented on any video (sorry for that) however, talking about distractions, this is the best advice anyone can receive. I don’t use any social media whatsoever, but thinking about it, there is some media that still affects your performance, and if you want to get rid of that, you have to analyze your routine in deep detail.
A method I learned is to put the phone down (away from you or in silent/airplane mode) and hold a physical copy of a book when u get into bed to sleep. It'll help you sleep faster and read as well. All the best.

This is brilliant ! Just commit to that one little page will set you up for reading every day, most likely, more than one page. 😎
10 years ago I made a resolution to never make another resolution. Just suck it up and continually improve on everything in your life. Don't wait to stop smoking, just do it. Don't wait to eat better, just start eating better. Simple.
For My New Year's Resolution, I will: 1) Be more conscious, active and reflecting throughout my days (less distracted). - Wake up, take break from technology --> start work or start a to-do list for next 2 hours - Use a work labtop/login (associated with work) - take regular walk breaks or meditate the following line --> "What is the next best thing I can do" 2) Be more socially active and focused on enjoying my-self. - Worry less, care less, focus on enjoying my-self (*always*) - Actively try and meet people or go to social events I would normally be to shy for - Use online dating apps
Write one word in my creative diary every day. Complete two minutes of physical and mental exercise every day. Eat one fruit and one vegetable every day. Thanks for a great video :)
It's just a matter of context and domain. Someone in computers thinks of display resolutions first while someone in mediation would think of conflict-resolution first. It just depends on what you're used to. That's not stupid.
as a scroll saw hobbyist i will spend 2 more hours a week in my shop. in 2019 i made 6 things for none family members i admire free of charge, for 2020 i will make 7.
My resolutions : 1) Better concentration while studying rather than spending time mindlessly 2) Go for cycling every evening. 3) Better behavior with classmates in school (though they don't deserve) :)

I just started it, it overrated. It’s just unfunny jokes and some family saying stuff they probably would text you anyways if they didn’t post it.
Its not really that superficial, the apps are designed visually and psychologically to make you spend more time on it. So when you ask "why did i waste so much time arguing to this random stranger on Twitter" its bcoz the app was designed to show u opinions on stuff that u have liked or yourself posted. So deleting the apps definitely helps.

"People often say that motivation doesn't last. Well, neither does bathing - that's why we recommend it daily."
- Zig Ziglar
I like that.
Bathing is actually not recommend to daily. The habit of showering daily is kind of new and while it may sound counterproductive, showering every day could be bad for your skin. Dermatologists only recommend a shower every other day, or two to three times a week.
@@erezatir9057 I think that depends a lot on where you live, bathing everyday is more than justified if you live in hot and humid areas.
Erez Atir ok boomer
@@FakeAccount true but I see many people even in the freezing winter think that it's crazy not to shower daily.
Coming back to this video 7 months later and in that time I’ve lost 40 pounds, committed to working out regularly, got a new job that’s way better than my old one and really started taking my life seriously for the first time. Idk what it was that clicked in my brain this year, I really can’t say for sure how much this video had to do with it but I will say that the strategy I used was pretty much exactly what you laid out here. Small incremental changes week after week that slowly add up over time. It’s crazy how much better my life is now compared to how it was when this video came out. I have my own place, an investment portfolio and I’m finally on track to actually get sober by slowly eliminating all the drugs and unhealthy food I’ve been addicted to for decades. I’m like a completely different person. This time last year I was 185 lbs, ate fast food multiple times a week and took as much as 15 grams of phenibut a day along with the suboxone I used to get off heroin. As I type this I’m completely off suboxone and down to 2 grams a day of phenibut. I don’t eat fast food at all and just prior to watching this I ran an 11 minute mile. And if that doesn’t sound impressive just know that I haven’t tried to run in literally years and keeping a steady pace of 5.5mph for an entire mile is a huge accomplishment for me especially as it followed a workout that included 100 pull ups, 200 push ups and 300 squats.
Anyway sorry I’m totally rambling here it’s just that this video reminded me of how far I’ve come since you uploaded it and I’m really stoked on all my progress. One day at a time, taking small steps in the right direction is the way to go. Two years ago I was addicted to heroin and had nothing going for me so if I can do it anyone can.
1:37 Well this year, the gyms DEFINITELY cleared out by March, but for a completely different reason...
LMAO 🤣🤣🤣
I will smoke my last cigarette on December 31st, 2019.
This is a great plan! I don't know how addicted you are but normally it is not that easy. Try doing some resarch on how to get of a cigarette addiction. I hope you will succeed and therefore statistically live 10 years longer not die from lung cancer
firemanJeff911 I hope you succeed. I can’t imagine how hard it is to get off something truly addictive, I have only really been addicted to cookies and youtube.
Nice
Hey dont even think about it like that. Try being mindful of your smokes until then and keep your attention on the taste, the breath, the smell. If you focus on the bad rather than short feel good feeling it gives you, you would want to stay away. Best wishes!

The cut at 1:03 actually bothered me ;)
He is moving the camera across the imaginary line between the subject and the main object in the scene (the computer screen), which makes it swap from being on the left of him to being on the right of him. This is discouraged in video/movie cutting literature, because it "reverses" the scene, confuses the viewer and makes the cut super obvious. He's also cutting while nothing else is moving in the scene. It's better to cut just an instance after starting some movement.

I'm a father of two and a math teacher. I have always struggled with, but know the value of recreational reading. My eldest hates reading and I want to inspire him. Research shows that children who see their parents reading will be more likely to read as well. My goal was to read a book each month. I've tried this before and failed. This video convinced me to start small. My improved goal is to simply read in view of my children everyday with no time limit. Just so they see that their daddy reads for fun.
Resolution:
Stop trying to be someone who isn't really me
This ain't gonna happen any way al d best
Good luck *^____^*
You can't help but be who you are.
Don't under estimate how difficult that could be. If you've been trying to be someone else for a long time you may not even be aware of who you really are, and how "you" has changed over the years.
You are nothing more than your genetics and your experiences. So how are u suppose to figure out who you are in the first place.
I made a new year's resolution ~20 years ago that I have kept 100% and I plan to keep going forward. Never to give another new year's resolution again.
@Vîpér Øxygèñ Read Anders Öhlund's post again. ;)
My Resolution is to gain 7kg :)
Here are my New Year's resolutions:
1. Start exercising again. Around a year ago I relapsed back into a sedentary lifestyle after living healthily for six years, having in that time gone from obese to just slightly above average weight. I'll do this by creating a specific exercise schedule for every day of the week excluding weekends, like I had before. Increasing my muscle mass will make it easier to lose weight, which is what I'm hoping to achieve with this.
2. Improve my diet. Though candy isn't really a problem for me, I'll start to buy more vegetables and store them on the counter rather than in my fridge, like Derek advised. I think vegetables are great, so this will give me a way to eat more of them. I'll also be starting a food diary, which is something I used to do.
3. Study well for my matriculation exams. Though this will only apply for the beginning of the year, I still want to make this a resolution, seeing as how much of an impact it will have on the rest of my life.
I'll start work on all of this on the first of January. If you happen to be reading this after that, please ask me how I've been doing! That way I'll feel more inclined to follow through. I wish everyone luck with their own resolutions!
I'll ask you January 2nd
How you've been doing?

rayan8031 Ashutosh Mishra Wissam El Kadamani So far so good. It's only the second day now but I've made my schedule for the week and did some squats yesterday. I'll be doing some crunches later today. I'm going to start off easy so that I can build routine, so I'll be moving to the harder stuff later on. As for my diet I bought some vegetables yesterday and I've rationed all of my christmas candy for later. My studying is also going well so far. Let's hope I can keep this up.
@@noob19087 great!, I too had a good day today, went for walking and excercise, i live at hostel so i can't buy any vegetables here , but still had a healthy breakfast and lunch. Did some journaling, other than that it was a good day, let's hope to be consistent!!

New year's resolution: overcome lonliness/anxitey/depression to make 1 freind and find a graduate job.
I'll be your friend.
TheDragonaf1 that’s a hard one
I will give you a tip and that is to just go out there and get a hobby that interests you. Doesn't need to be expensive or anything. Just a place where you go every week to do something with people.
Here's 3 that would hopefully help you achieve them.
1. "No thy self"
Just be you, stop worrying what others project on to you. Know who you are, where you've been, what you've learned, what "triggers" you, what you love, who loves you, who you will strive to become, the type of person you are to everyone around you .. and just be content with who you've become and what you've achieved so far.
2. "...and i, I chose the one less traveled by"
Get out of your comfort zone, go to a library.. Saay, EVERY Saturday for an hour+, read, study, learn and without anxiety ("and only 3 secs of confidence") look one person in the eye and say "hi". Your self confidence will grow.. And you never know who you might meet or what you might learn from them.
3."the body always follow the mind"
Eat right, sleep right and exercise for only 20 mins 2x per wk (all helps with depression and your mind and body will thank you) Mindfulness meditation can help too to quiet the mind and negative thoughts, centers you in the moment and can help you realize it when you're not (when anxiety or depression has crept in). Research it all at the library👆
As for the job... Don't sweat it, Work on the first 3 and when you're ready, apply to all that sounds right to you, only a few out of a dozen may respond with an interview.. Come prepared and if the first company doesn't offer a job..who cares..take the learning into the next interview and if it is meant to be it will happen.. And a lot of times it's just who you know.😉
Stay positive, one foot in front of the other and Keep smiling bud.

to be fair, maybe the OP is already saving 40% so it's a stretch goal. Nobody is going from zero to fifty percent as a target...
@@GeoffRichards_GP yeah that's true
@@GeoffRichards_GP yeah that's exactly it. My savings rate this year was 40%. And saving/investing is not vague for me, I invest 90% in high cap stocks and 10% government bonds.

I don’t use any social media whatsoever, but thinking about it, there is some media that still affects your performance, and if you want to get rid of that, you have to analyze your routine in deep detail.

-read 1 page of a book every day
-write down one thing/person/event I am grateful for every day

Mindful gratefulness is an excellent way to become a much happier person.
My 2020 Resolution:
- Read at least 1 page of a book a day
A method I learned is to put the phone down (away from you or in silent/airplane mode) and hold a physical copy of a book when u get into bed to sleep. It'll help you sleep faster and read as well. All the best.
This is brilliant ! Just commit to that one little page will set you up for reading every day, most likely, more than one page. 😎

@@jax4652 because TH-cam is not only about learning, it is mostly entertainment site with sole goal of keeping you here, watching other videos.
10 years ago I made a resolution to never make another resolution. Just suck it up and continually improve on everything in your life. Don't wait to stop smoking, just do it. Don't wait to eat better, just start eating better. Simple.
I will run every morning for 5 minutes around the lake near my home.
The lake near my house is very big so I wont be running around the lake
The lake near my home is the seven seas, it's not only very exhausting, but also impossible!
Resolution:
Bother this guy about his loud squeaky fridge door until he caves in and fixes it.
It's a diet deterrence :D
New year resolution: Finally go out to parties after 7 years of self-reclusion.
2020's New Paradigm of Pandemic: *YOU WILL NEVER DO THAT*
For My New Year's Resolution, I will:
1) Be more conscious, active and reflecting throughout my days (less distracted).
- Wake up, take break from technology --> start work or start a to-do list for next 2 hours
- Use a work labtop/login (associated with work)
- take regular walk breaks or meditate the following line --> "What is the next best thing I can do"
2) Be more socially active and focused on enjoying my-self.
- Worry less, care less, focus on enjoying my-self (*always*)
- Actively try and meet people or go to social events I would normally be to shy for
- Use online dating apps
This one felt so personal, I loved it, thanks a lot.
Resolution:
Keep it up with the great 2019 energy! 1 % better everyday :D
gotta be honest...i read "revolution" at first and thought this will be interesting
that would have been intense!
Revolution is on the way *Comrades*
*Soviet anthem intensifies*
And here I was thinking why do 1920x1080 will fail
If I had a way to make a revolution succeed, I'd let you know!
My new year resolution: 1920 x 1080
God damn it
I solved it! It's 2073600!
Also, why not 8k in 2020!?
wait 1080 in 2020? we should have 8K by now.
@@livethefuture2492 not everyone can afford 8K, as u know 1080p gets cheaper when the new ones comes out

Write one word in my creative diary every day. Complete two minutes of physical and mental exercise every day. Eat one fruit and one vegetable every day. Thanks for a great video :)
i might be stupid cuz my first thought was like monitor resolutions
Yeah me too
i was thinking the calendar was a flip dot display and hes gonna talk about the "resolution" of it.
It's just a matter of context and domain. Someone in computers thinks of display resolutions first while someone in mediation would think of conflict-resolution first. It just depends on what you're used to. That's not stupid.
now at 5k. holy cow. How does my 10 year old xeon let that though.. very nice.
Gamer life
as a scroll saw hobbyist i will spend 2 more hours a week in my shop. in 2019 i made 6 things for none family members i admire free of charge, for 2020 i will make 7.
My 2020 resolution: To get into med school.
Good luck. Rooting for you.
That was my resolution in 1981. I succeeded. You have no idea what is ahead of you.
I norge du fa ord "med" kanskje fem år gammel.
@@Spscc23998 Let me tell him: "a world of sh!t". Seriously.
My resolutions :
1) Better concentration while studying rather than spending time mindlessly
2) Go for cycling every evening.
3) Better behavior with classmates in school (though they don't deserve) :)
