Yeah, the biggest change that impacted me positively: cleaning up my environment. If I didn't use something for a month or three months, it was discarded. Equally importantly, I stopped buying stuff, particularly online. Amazing how my mind clutter started disappearing quickly. Very happy now.
Three of the most accomplished, motivated, people I know work in completely chaotic environments with piles of papers, books, dirt, etc. They always say they will clean it up and organize -they never do and instead they just write another article, book, or work of art.
You should add one more very crucial habit: Reading everyday. It is one of the most important habits that one could inculcate in their life. Learning should never stop!

I used to have a huge problem getting out of bed in the morning. I could sleep through even loud alarm clocks. I am still not a morning person. However, I just bought many alarm clocks and spread them around the room. One of the alarms is the sonic bomb alarm it is insanely loud and it vibrates as well, I keep the vibration pod under my pillow, I set that alarm to go off last, most mornings I am able to get up before it goes off. I also try to do something that relaxes my mind when I get up before I go to work, for about 30 minutes -- even if it is just watching a TH-cam video. It really not wake up late and be in a panic and not be on time for work.
Thanks for sharing this, all these advises provide a different way to think about the most common problems and the way to overcome by being practical. Please keep doing this, it is really valuable
In the Army I learned to make an A, B, and C list every day. Tasks on the A list were those that, if I did not complete them that very day, I would lose a piece of my rear end. If it was likely to be on tomorrow's A list, it goes on today's B list. And the C list was all the other great ideas and taskings which add up to way too much for any one person to accomplish. The key thing about the C list was, after a week or so, if it didn't move up to the B list, drop it completely off your list.
Thanks for adding an example of how to manage tasks. I'm collecting tips and tricks so I can set up a system of task management that suits how I work. Blessings, Dot
After watching some of your videos, I now want to learn how to create such visuals (not the drawing itself, but what to illustrate and how to place it so it is informative)
It’s important to stress that while those are great tips, people’s sleep patterns and cycles differ and there is little point in trying to change your underlying biology. We need to be more open to flexible schedules and accept that there is no nobility in cutting sleep or being up early. It about what you do in those waking hours and how you do it, not what time it is. We have progressed enough by now to know that we’re not one-size-fits-all.
Alarm trick is terrible. Jumping right out deep sleep at 5 o’clock is horrible. I feel cold and my muscles are sore for few hours if i do that , not to mention my heart beat keeps changing every 30 seconds which makes me nauseous. My trick to waking up easily : I set up my alarm to 10 minutes earlier than i want to wake up. ( 4:50 if i want to wake up at 5) I keep my alarm near my bed, i trun it off as soon as i hear it ( no snoozing , but i do have extra alaram in case i fell asleep). I immediately turn on lights ( just press a buttun above my bed ). Then i sart moving slowly , fingers first , then arms little shoulders and neck, while trying to become more conscious of where am i and whats going on. I roll of my bed, immediately make it , brush my teeth and drink nice sweet calming tea , NO coffee. These way i am calm and ready to deal with my day
Excellent video! I put everything on my to-do list so I can mark off things. But, I'm going to put down fewer things and try that. Thanks so much for all the good info.
#5 Delay your response. I always like to jot down what I want to say, but then walk away and sleep on the response. Usually I find myself tearing up my note the next morning. I got my anger out, but it never left the room.
Excellent video! It's sensible and smart advice. I'm trying some of the things on the list, but I know I'm not very efficient in any. Consistency is the key.
Really enjoyed this video!! Solid information at just the right time for me. Really liked the idea of a short to do list (I always put small tasks on mine), as well as planning the weekend on a Thursday! Thank you :-)
I used to think like this, until people started to flake on plans and I started to outsmart myself when I'd put the alarm across the room and turn on the light and do some exercise. The mental clutter part is true, though.I performed better when everything was cleaned up and I had nothing better to do than the task at hand. Prioritization is key. Planning isn't good, especially if you have opposition. They could come out of left field and completely ruin your plans. Loose plans with alternatives work better.
Essential message is, do what needs to be done for maximum daily accomplishment(long term and short term goals), while forcibly pushing aside all distractions and inconsequential activities.
Can't "reading" be replaced with a more general term like "learning" (particularly from sources exterior to oneself) ? Because it seems to me that reading is too narrow and, for example, watching an MIT course on programing on youtube seems to me equally beneficial.
I'd add this to your requirement about having an alarm clock on the other side of the room: now ensure that its never turned on (unless you need to get up exceptionally early to catch a flight). Always wake up naturally. Let your body be the judge of your required amount of sleep. It's far more important to get a complete night's sleep than to save a few minutes. Even if those lost minutes are only a few, they will greatly affect you during the day. Even worse those lost minutes of sleep have a cumulative affect and significantly enhance aging. Always select quality over quantity (even if that means having less time during the day).
This would be great advice to follow in a perfect world, except that any woman with a full time jobs, kids, and all of the other responsibilities that life and adulthood brings, knows that this advice is next to impossible to follow. Not only are a "few minutes" of sleep missed but often hours of sleep are missed.
Even better: Get an alarm that automatically lights up in the morning to help wake you up. Especially in the winter, it is worth 3x its weight in Gold. I literally don’t know how people get up without them....Philips makes some nice ones.
Distraction is the prison so many of us face these days. The clearer we can see, the less we have to forcefully stop our mind and body from distractions.
^_^These are FANTASTIC I LOVE these videos thank you so much!! Are you the artist? Narrator? Both? I like the art, and system as I'm a visual learner so this is very helpful for me.
The best improvement I made in my life was to only do what is absolutely necessary to do...and eliminate all other activities that were put in my life by other peoples well meaning conditioning...
@@downbntout ?...I haven't had any complaints yet...I get support instead...so I didn't get your question...explain if you would like to if absolutely necessary
I do too. Learned it from David Allen's book Getting Things Done. He called it the Idea-catcher and advocated a 'mind like water', briefly stirred up and quick to return to the peaceful state and free to focus. Recommend his book.
It's a good start. There are phone apps for timers that will bring you back to, um, normal with a tiny gentle sound. I also use them for general day use bc I don't want a shrill alarm.
Keep your alarm clock on the opposite side of the bedroom. That way your spouse hates your guts...even when you do jump out of bed and turn it off in a record time of 10 seconds...and then turn on the lights. 😂
ABSOLUTELY..read it somewhere a few weeks ago, started right away. I go hot-warm-cool-cold in < 2 min, stay on cold a few min. Feel SO REFRESHED & ready for the day afterward
Have two alarm clocks! One that is right next to the bed and another across the room. Know that if the second one goes off the hottie you married is going to be pissed at you. Only stretch in the morning don't mess with your exercise routine because you need 48hrs of recovery time for any given muscle group when you lift like you mean it. If you don't lift and keep in great shape you are already blowing it. Be like a shark and never stop moving!
You can’t ‘meditate’ for 2 min..15-20 minimum. As another poster wrote READ EVERY DAY-For Christians, Jewish, & non-denominational-The Bible is GREAT to read. Only book you get more out of it the more you read it
Putting the alarm clock across the room or outside your bedroom to force you to get out of bed. That’s silly. If one can’t even get up on time there’s no way they can do the other things on the list. LOL
You shouldn't make you bed right away. It will have a low level of moisture from your body, which is the perfect environment for dust mites to thrive. You should let it air and dry first.
True, but 2 minutes will expand to 10 15 30 minutes. It is difficult for most of us to add things to do in a day when we feel we have run out of time. Fooling ourselves it's only 2 minutes it's easy to incorporate.
Very poor advise given here, Never exercise getting straight up out of bed. Your body needs time to loosen up. Putting strain on your body right away is a good way to injure yourself

Great job on the Video!
I've found self-discipline is the foundation for all good habits
Yes, and consistency! Most people can start, many can move but few can keep it up! 🙏🏾
🙏
Being organised can help declutter your mind. And that will, in turn, bring in more mental energy to give it where its worth giving. 👍
this is POWERFUL took notes and time to think of what i need to get done tomorrow

*3 KEY Habits To Maintain*
1. Meditation
2. Reading
3. Exercising
*Why:* These three habits are considered “key habits” since it improves every aspect of your life while you’re doing the habit itself. Ex: If you decide to start exercising, you can then fix your diet naturally or start having higher confidence.
And also do something artistic...
Mike Hess definitely! We should be changing the ways we get dopamine from, to social media to creative work.

Habits can set a great foundation for our success
You should add one more very crucial habit:
Reading everyday.
It is one of the most important habits that one could inculcate in their life. Learning should never stop!
Amen to that. I read at least a couple of books a day.
*If we are able to differentiate between the trivial many versus the vital few. Then your productivity can skyrocket if you start to focus only on essential tasks*
I needed this last week, my emotions got in my way during an electronic business exchange and I am now switching career's.
Seems like how hard you want to try and how effective you are makes a big difference.
*If you don't run the day, the day runs you...*
Take ownership with good habits!
1.Keep a schedule even if it's a rough one
2.Keep your alarm clock on the opposite side of the bedroom
3.Do one minute of bodyweight exercise first thing in the morning
4.Seperate planing from execution
5.If you are feeling emotional, delay your responses
6.Clean up messes as soon as you make them

Is two minute meditation effective

If you don't lift and keep in great shape you are already blowing it. Be like a shark and never stop moving!
1 minute exercise = 10 push ups, 20 squats, and 30 seconds plank? how am I supposed to do all that in 1 minute...
1 second per push up × 10 pushups + 1 second per squat × 20 squats = 30 seconds

Make it after breakfast.
