💰 I'm fortunate enough to work with great sponsors who support my work, so I don't use Patreon or any other crowdfunding service. However, if you'd like to support a worthy cause, consider donating to help more children get access to a high-quality education: fundraise.pencilsofpromise.or...
About the first level, I'd like to add something my therapist once told me:
I told him I was having trouble keeping my promises to myself because there was no accountability, because if I didn't do something I promised myself I would do, "no one would know".
He stopped me and said: "what do you mean no one? You would know. You ARE someone."
So just a friendly reminder. You ARE someone, and keeping your promises to yourself matters, because you matter.
whoa
dang
That’s deep
very true , and it helps you build self-trust which is feral important
@@TheEncouragementKid It's SO important to start keeping the promises you make to yourself, as you said it builds trust in yourself, and you start making it a habit to actually DO the things you want to do, because it's almost like making plans with a friend, except that friend is yourself.
"I don't want your filthy failure money Tom" 🤯I want a Martin in my life too
🤣🤣🤣
Well... Important is whether he would actually took the money, despite not wanting them, if the daily goal would fail. As if not, he would be too nice to keep you accountable. Still good person, but not fitting the requirements.
:O
got both the Tom and Martin 😈
@@tommartin911 Hats off bro

Some years ago, while I was in a deep rut, I wasn't able to get out of bed before 10AM. So I made a commitment with two of my friends: I had to send them everyday a selfie of me out of bed before 8AM, or else I would pay them 1€. It lasted 6months, I ended up with a regular wake up schedule and owing them 20€. I used them to buy them drink as a thank you, and it was worth every cent.
I saw the same variation of this on reddit, and its pretty cool! Someone did the same bet too, but they have to send themsekves selfies of them brushing their teeth. Really awesome
Europe= L
Was one of your friends called… Martin? Haha Inspirational story tho
Let's gooooo. Inspirational story. Accountability is so key. Thanks for sharing so much.
Thanks for the idea I am going to try this one
Should’ve had a self discipline class in high school 😭
They did, it was called “homework”
If you did it, you practiced self discipline and were rewarded with good grades.
If you didn’t do it, you failed yourself and payed for it with poor grades.
@@Thatguyujustmet Wouldn't that just be .-. doing the work you're told? I did all my homework and I still have bad self discipline.
We can't only blame high school, because i don't think students would even understand the importance of self-discipline at that age. During that time, they would think about enjoying their life. Plus, since school is basically rote learning and getting good grades, if anyone introduces self-discipline as a subject, then they might just do it for the grades and not actually practice the basic principles.

Something that really helped me learn a foreign language was committing to teach it to my children. I feel a pressure that I have to get good or it wouldn’t have just been a waste of time for me but for them as well.
The best way to learn is teaching :)
@@aa0000 Very true
That's a great way to do level 5
Good one Mathias - very practical and effective
As someone who has his first child due any day now, this drive is so powerful and real. I’m study psychology and get top marks because of study habits from Tom, Ali, and other TH-camrs but becoming a father has made me want to truly become that well rounded, grounded, effective across multiple domains performer. Not for myself, but for them. I hate the thought of being a hypocrite to them
"I dont want your filthy failure money Tom😴"
😂😂😂omg im ded.
right 🤣
i came to the comments looking for this
🤣🤣🤣
Yeah I came looking for this too, it was awesome XD
Loving the 5 levels. Being accountable to others is being responsible. But accountable to yourself changes your life.

I major in Chinese literature, and I'm trying to figure out what the original sentence in Chinese this was 🤣 (not in an ironic way, simply out of curiousity
Level 1 - stop watching this and get back to work
😂😂😂
Shhhhh
Unless youre overworked
guys, I am the smartest man alive! I was doing my work while watching this video! >:)
🤣🤣
Gosh... Even WHEN I told my IT teacher that I was going to make a game this summer, or when I told a number of friends that I'm going to write a comic, I STILL can't get myself to do it!
This is what I love about Frank, enhancing the ideas of a book -- adding value! The cohesiveness and relevance of the model is too valuable not to share!
I reall recommend reading "Atomic Habits" just after reading the power of habit .. Power of habit is the theory, and you need to readi it and understand it, atomic habits is the practice ..
I read atomic habits but it's so hard to actually put the things into practice , do you have any suggestions that could help?
@@bec_Divyansh keep practicing. There is no shortcut
@@derickpaultolentino4274 On it!
‘Tiny habits’ is great as well ✨✨
That's some great hair lighting. Others may not notice, but I appreciate the lighting in your vids - great content and great form. Thank you, Thomas!
Being able to hold yourself accountable is such an underrated skill! It is definitely not easy however for those who can I am proud of you❤️
Having an accountability buddy definitely helps - especially when we can both go to the same gym class at 7am together 😅 PS. Awwww your kitty!! 😻
Great video. The only thing I would add is making changes to your environment(which can include an accountability buddy) to make it easier to do the things that you want to do and succeed, and more difficult to do the things you'd like to avoid or fail.
Your editing is getting better and better!! btw nice to see 3 vids uploaded every 2 days this week
Huge like for the cat! 😺
I was just searching for self-discipline last evening and you've uploaded one. Thank you. It gave me some true insights.
That was a really well developed idea and video! That’s why I’ve been following you for at least 5 years now. Keep up the great work!!
The highest level is being a mother or father in a family. Having to care for that family in all aspects and raise your own children has such an unbelievable impact on an individual that someone who's never experienced this will never understand it.
True, one thing I noticed about popular productivity youtubers like Thomas and Ali Abdaal, is they tend to focus more on the productivity on self or work place. Which it isn’t wrong, it’s their content and their audience after all.
But, I would love to find more gurus that speak about family productivity as well since I would like to have my own family one day.
This is one of the best videos on self-discipline I’ve ever seen.
Great vid as always! Sorta wierd how you always upload exactly the type of video I need...
Why your video come out on time when I am struggling with self-discipline lately. I barely can't do anything and being not productive at all until this video pops out at my homepage. Thankkss for sharing, sure it back to our execution once again, but I find out this as a reminder for me to back on track again. Your video is amazingg! Keep inspiring!
Nice to see you are uploading regularly 🤘🤘
Your videos are always so calming dude
Its funny how often people stop what they are doing to watch a video about discipline lol.
Good video
I realised that recently I stopped working out and chasing my dream because of a lack of will power and consistency .. Right before I found this video, I got the motivation to start doing what I love again but as they say motivation comes and goes so I need to replace it with discipline. You are 1000% correct about the accountability part..
Thank you Frank. Looking forward to order the book 📖.
Understand myself is very important, we or me tend to procrastinate in life. I need a eye opener. Thank you 🙏🏼
I'm so incredibly happy for you Thomas I'm so proud of the website you've created with other creators you are one of my favourite productivity TH-camrs and you deserve all the best🤗
You missed the perfect chance to use Butters excellent word "Accountabilibuddy"
Man i just luvvv your amazing, high quality content!
"doing what you said you were going to do" is a powerful accountability. "doing what you said you were going to do when you said you were going to do it" is more powerful.
I really love this video, thank you Thomas!
Love this topic. That is why I love having accountability partners, one or two people that have similar goals. Self discipline is hard but it can be done
🙌🏻 yes!!
You're on fire this week Thomas! Three awesome videos. But the cat appearance at the end made this the best of the week!
“Just remember, you can’t climb the ladder of success with your hands in your pockets. You will have to get out of your comfort zone ..
HAVE A NICE DAY TO ALL
👌👌
What if your disabled
Or maybe just take the stairs sir.
love the vid mate, i summarised some of what you said on paper. Can feel myself sticking to these tasks and also i feel more productive as a result, thanks.
Oh yeah, I’ll be coming back to this one for a while. I like the connection between self discipline and leadership, that’s new to me.
Hi, I would love to hear your advice on building a habit for ADHD persons. Thank you
@@schoolworkaccount3887 downloaded the app and it’s exactly what i’ve been looking for in a routine builder. have no experience working with it yet, but im looking forward to starting, thanks for sharing the recommendation :)
I have adhd and I am certainly no expert in the subject but for me the trick was to just really force myself to focus on one habit at a time, for x amount of days, and use the usual habit building techniques. That, and focus on the foundations first. People with ADHD cannot get away with eating poorly, sleeping bad, and not exercising.
5:15 That's really kind, it shows that really cares about you.
"I dont want your filthy failure money."
Yes.
Thank you for this video and the surprise at the end!
Thank you, Thomas, for this insightful video. I procrastinated watching it for weeks leaving it in watch later, but I'm content that I did now because of how relevant it is.
I feel like self discipline to consistently produce content on TH-cam is on a whole other level 🙌🏽
The key to self-discipline is accountability.
When your boss tells you to be to work at a specific time,
you are there at a specific time because your boss is relying on you.
When your little brother asks you to pick them up from school, you do it because he is relying on you.
The obligations we have to each other is what makes us disciplined.
But what about our personal goals?
What about that instrument you've been meaning to learn or the workout routine you're trying to stick to?
With these personal goals,
there's nobody else really relying on us.
So we can't really tap accountability to improve our self-discipline, can we?
Actually we can, there are five levels of self-discipline.
Each levels in this model has to do with a different type of accountability that can be applied to augment and improve your levels of self-discipline.
level 1 : accountability to yourself
Make a plan, write down what are you going to do specifically, and what conditions may cause you to fail.
level 2 : accountability partners
One person in specific, don't tell everybody.
Create consequences for failing.
level 3 : coaches and teachers
Someone who is invested in your success.
level 4 : teams & organizations
Your personal goal becomes aligned with a common goal.
Have other people
who are relying on you to do your part.
level 5 : leadership
Instead of people rely on you just to do your part, now everyone is relying on you to guide them as well.
When you're a leader,
the accountability is at its highest point, but also the responsibility and the consequences for failure are as well.
Good Luck, stay strong!
Yay new video! Thanks! I APPRECIATE YOU!
Love your videos man
I loved the background music , thanks for the great video
Self discipline imo is an emergent property from keeping yourself focused on a single thought and not having that thought displaced. How you get that thought to stay and not be distracted is the hard part. Accountability and having others is one way. But I think the common factor is keeping a single thought in your head and not letting it be replaced by another.
Brilliant video Thomas. Potentially life changing. I’ll give it a try 🙏🏾
“There is only one person who could ever make you happy, and that person is you.”
-David Burns
Great content! Thank you.
Level 2 was so true. The moments I tell people my goals, I fail myself, and just lead to being a disappointment. I’ll keep trying.
I just want to say that I love your videos 🎈❤️ You always do a great job.
This is one of your best videos.
I’m only 3:45 minutes in and I had to stop to comment how awesome and useful of a video this is. Thank you!
That the most important thing you said today. Focused and taking action is important. Your explanation is better. Thanks brother.
amazing video, keep it up!
This is a very well put together video.
So I've been doing the whole self reflecting thing lately, and realized something very important that has to do with number one.
I was having issues with self worth and self respect. Then I took a third person inventory of my relationship with myself. I looked and said if someone I was friends with or in a relationship with did what I do(flake on the things you promise you'll do, not move towards your goals, chase short term pleasure as a distraction from the relationship with yourself), would you like that person? Emphatically no.
As soon as you realize self accountability is an aspect of your relationship with yourself, which determines how you feel about yourself, which impacts how you treat others, you immediately see its importance. At least that's been my experience
This video motivates me so much! I just need to start somehow...
The thumbnail tells you that Thomas' is still waiting for his PS5
Same
Or he hasn't ordered one like me🙂 I might get the series x for emulation but that's it
ya'll are going to make fun of me but the only game I play right now is Crossy Road
@@Thomasfrank still better than doing crack
@@Zetraxes now that's self discipline
Best video thank you so much
Man, thanks! 💪
Exactly what I needed now that I've been studying programming so THANK YOU!!! 🙏🌻😊
@@krypton1142 JAVA, but right now I've decided to get some basic knowledge on Linux, since it'll probably be something I will work with. And I'm also having to work on my Math skills bc I've forgotten some parts oops
Thanks for helping me change and grow as a person
thank you, i was asking this around but nobody had idea about steps. so this really helps.
Ehh, was that message a light prank by someone?
Wow. Always briliant
Truly amazing editing
Love that you have a kitty friend! You discuss some great strategies for setting and meeting goals, along with staying accountable. I will say, though, for people who are perfectionists, have anxiety, or are particularly hard on themselves, ruminate on "failure" when they don't meet their goals, having a flexible mindset. Even if you set a personal goal of doing something 7 days a week, maybe doing that thing 5 or 6 out of 7 days a week can be considered a success.
great video!!
Thanks Tom 🖖
Very useful 👍🏾🙌🏾
Great tips.💰👍
This is so true. I’ve never worked harder than when I was in the weight room with my teammates. It’s a lot easier when you’re doing it for something bigger than you.
Thank you Thomas. Great information.🍵
Number 5 really spoke to me.
Many Thanks; I appreciate the video
Uggggh needed this
Great video! so useful
Thanks for this it is actually amazing. Hats off ♥️👌
This is why you are my favorite youtuber
Well done again
I don'y know how you do it, but each video is better than before 📚❤
Wow! Thank you, YTAlgo. I am literally getting back to work after surgery. 👏👏👏👏👏
5:27 "I Don't want your filthy Failure money."
OUCH!! THAT BURNS HOT!!!! I gotta use that!
🔥🔥💰🔥🔥
Level 6: Hire someone to threaten you with a gun if you don't achieve your goals
Really really good stuff, I'm scared of level 5 but it's where I'm headed...
Thank you
Thomas Frank really deserves his own show on Nat Smart
When Thomas said "and for that reason"
I heard in my head "i'm out"
Too much shark tank xD
I read "HOW TO GET THINGS DONE ?" and everysingle thing u said is right inside that book too
i already have the habit of clicking fast every video of yours i see!
Awesome video and an even better discussion. Imagine being able to explain to someone how to breath. That is honestly funny but that's a great way to explain the expert paradox.
I love this ☺️ thank you
I'm loving your cat visitor!
Thank you ❤️
