Rían here. What if you always knew exactly what to do in any given moment, from the small to the large things, and what if you could arrive upon that conviction effortlessly… without even trying?
That's flow-based decision-making. With the science-backed techniques in this PDF, you can use flow-based decision-making to exceed a month’s worth of work in less than a day.
Are there alternatives to activating the RAS other than writing down a question (eg due to physical or time constraints)? 🙏👍
Great Video! Question: So when you say let your mind roam free doing the easy task, do you mean that just dont think about the question at all because if i do that, i would forget about the decision i have to make and just play pool for example and then after i am done, i will come back to the question again and think from the same point for what should i do OR do you mean think about the solution which playing pool?
Rian Bro, you are a genius, keep up good work, your bro from slovakia :)
Rian - what about asking the question and then meditating if iam proficcient?
I want to get another job. I am changing my career and it's a bit hard to get th job in the field without sufficient experience. I will be using the magic brain flow to solve this problem.
1. Get clear on the root problem you want to solve
2. Write the problem down in a question form to get the brain working
3. Enter pleasurable flowstates unrelated to the problem, like walking, or showering.
4. Let the powerful subconcious abilities go to work on your behalf
5. Come back to your original question written down and begin writing the answers in flow.
Thanks.
Great. Thanks
Thank you😊😊
Thank you!!! ❤
he said enter the default mode network not flow state on point 3

look at the huge gaps of time in between useful content...
We will check the video thanks for your useless message
So love that intuition is now part of the acknowledged and valued power tools - or modes of operation - in human potential study sciences, and in very practically minded areas, like business, instead of being part of just the domains of arts and spirituality, as has been historically in our culture.
The top 1% clearly are working with more mental capacity because I had to give up around 17 minutes in. Sure hope my subconscious understood
I’m proud of how I made a recent important decision. I wanted a newer better car. So I went into a dealership and told them my three favorite brands and to show me what they had. So I decided on the brand. I got home and looked up other prices. I got quotes on the car from three places and took the best deal. Same price for a much newer edition
man i just want to tell you that these videos literally improve my life and i wish there would be more videos like this across the youtube
same
I was super skeptical at first because this dude looks like a cult leader con man, but the advice has been surprisingly solid.
@@factorfitness3713 If you would knew his backstory he actually does pretty good in life and is able to do quite a lot of things in shorter period of time without burning out which for amount of stuff he do is really impresive
It's true that your mind works better when doing a simple task, like sweeping your backyard. Sometimes, you gain better focus and start thinking deeply about your problems. It happens to me too-in simpler terms, you just zone out in your thoughts
this video actually helped a lot, you just have to apply the concepts to your individual context and everything will make sense
1. Get clear on the root problem you want to solve
2. Write the problem down in a question form to get the brain working
3. Enter pleasurable flowstates unrelated to the problem, like walking, or showering.
4. Let the powerful subconcious abilities go to work on your behalf
5. Come back to your original question written down and begin writing the answers in flow.
Wow you never seem to disappoint with your videos. The level of effort and detail that you put into them is insane!
I guess that's the effect of flow.
Exactly@@mohamedakramhelali4978
Insanely intelligent, purely genius! ❤
This is why programming is so addictive. Getting into that flow state at 2am while everyone else is asleep. You told yourself you'd go to bed 30 minutes ago but you can't stop now. 😂
Thus happens with me! If someone tells me their problem, my mind makes connections and gives a solution, if I don't know the solution yet, I would be going about my life normally and something would pop up in my mind or I would come across an information without even looking for it that would be useful for some problem, because I have the concerns at the back of the mind, my subconscious knows there is a missing information and when the missing information is found it brings to my conscious that it makes sense, it is hard to explain because I am not actively looking for the solution, my mind just knows that it is something that is worth solving because someone (my mind sees concerns of others as my own, but externlaised) needs it.
You’d make a good life coach.
Thanks ! I do have people come to me for advice and with problems to solve them for them @@kayligo
wisdom is knowing what questions to ask
Nice video. Reminds me of a maxim in my own field (computer science): "Premature optimisation is the root of all evil."
Im intrigued by such concept, do you mind elaborating on that? 🖐️
This is the only TH-cam channel I like watching on a daily basis. this content is really relatable,helpful and implementing this technique is so efficient in improving ourselves.
But when I do it I get a witch hunt accusing me of being some kind of mystic. I then point to solve that problem and now.....fkd out my life.
How would you apply this to choosing a major?
What I think I should do is to -
1. Figure out the root problem. Which I believe is a 'An uncertainty in a stable(financially and in terms of job security), career after college.'
What comes next?
Knowing what you know now, how would you have approached the decision you were struggling with as a teen? Super interesting content, as usual. thank you.
Great question.
Another great one rian, love to get such type of information
I found opening up my flow state to the exformation all around me allowed my ego something productive to crunch on instead of always trying to get me into trouble by believing bad data. Starve your ego, feed your soul, and your mind will awaken to all the information around you that you never knew was there. Not only is the flow state a more effecient decision maker - it is a gentler and kinder one, too.
The irony here is that women make decisions like this all the time, and have done forever. But instead of being recognised as using our “supercomputer”, we are often accused of being “irrational”.
bro. These videos are like chapters of one of the best non-fiction books
Can I just say I love this channel! Every video is so well made. From the script, the knowledge, the cadence of how you speak, the delivery, the pacing, the animations, everything is on point.
But the thing I love about them most is the practical steps outlined that are simple enough for me to implement right away.
Thanks for the good work you're doing I look forward to future vids ❤
This guy got so much from one hike 😂 ive been on so many hiked and nature runs and never NEVER thought about it like that
Could you consider making a video on the most effective method to quickly adapting to a new daily schedule? For example if someone starts a new job or you have to relocate so things like your sleep schedule change, the time you go to the gym , your work hours, etc. I’m sure you’ve dealt with heavy schedule shifts several times throughout your career, so I was wondering how you went about quickly adapting
Yeaa
Absolutely incredible videos.
Saved Comment - Actual process starts at 8:05
but the presentation is so important!! Gets you in that state ...
It’s similar to martial arts training, you’ve learn the moves, then trust yourself to execute the right move @ the right time without conscious thinking ..👍
@0:56 greetings from Katowice, Poland ;)
soo good!! Thank you Rian!
You can't control your subconscious. That's why it's called your subconscious. If you could control your subconscious you could ignore all your fears which obviously would be fatal.
Bruv you need to tone down the music in your intros imo.. its overkill. Your channel is based on helping people focus, but you assume your viewers wont watch the entire video if you dont do audio gymnastics in the intro.. defeats the purpose of your channel if you ask me
i didn't even notice the music. if you're bothered by that then that's on you and your attention span.
@@LightHunter001 that's the point my friend. TH-camrs have intense intros with quickly changing visuals and fast audio to make sure they don't lose their audience in the first 30 seconds.. it's become the new norm now. People don't even notice anymore.
If it were a Mr. Beast video, i'd understand, but this channel is about deep, calm focus. Nothing against the info in his videos, it's top notch. but using this manipulative tactic to hook people is disingenuous.
@@dhengey i can see your point, but it's safe to not jump to conclusions too quickly.
As you said, adding music in the beginning of a video has became the norm. So maybe they did it out of habit?
@@LightHunter001 ok fair enough, I'll give you that.. maybe they did it out of habit without realizing the nuance behind it..
Who knew people on the Internet can reach common ground. Good discussion bruv. Cheers!
The reason the both of you can come to agreement is because the same reason you're here watching these videos, you want to learn, listen and provide constructive criticism. All the best to the two of you.
Imo I don't mind the music, also it reminds me of Tim ferris and the start of his videos (podcast) feels like I'm in a night club, given he has changed it from what it was. He had that intense music at the start of his videos for years

Rian please make a video on how to learn any technical or soft skills faster?
Interesting.
In summary:
Write your problem down.
Do tasks that are not taxing on system one (shower, swim, walk in nature, drive etc.) and this activates subconscious flow state and pulls out a solution for you from historic information (or archives).
When the solution comes to mind, write that down too!
This felt like you had to write an 10.000 word essay but you only had 500 words of info...
Bro please make video on how to be organized in lifestyle
Talk about a long drawn out repetative way of getting to the points of interest or betting said working around them by story telling. I urge all to FF to the Last 20secs of the Video before you're bored or hypnotized.
I have a pretty solid dose of ADHD, but while attempting to explain the way I think to some of my peers I have expressed that I feel like my brain is a reactive machine and that I often don't "think of a solution" but that after inputting enough data, that my mind just kind of spits the necessary action and dont get me wrong I cannot just tap this when ever I wish but this video definitly made alot of sense in that regard as I didnt really know if it was a typical "thought" process
Some of the content that you provided is way better than this video. I think it is still too abstract. It feels for me less pragmatic and actionable than other bit of wisdom you shared.
In most of the cases, you never know what would happen after taking a decision as the credibility of every decision depends upon the outcome of the said decision taken.
LMAO, this is just logic, if only 1% of people processes like that, we are in great danger of stupidity
How to differentiate between a intuition and fear?
Sometimes it happens that we think , the thing we are not doing is not good for us but most of the time it happens due to our fear. An we realize it afterwards .
Why you said every Thursday you will upload video when you're uploading on any individual day?
The title of the video sounds much like clickbait and promises too much, but the advice in the video is, despite that, top notch.
To sum up the most important idea, I would say it is to not prematurely try to solve a problem before really understanding the right question to answer.
Einstein used this method. I read about it 35 years ago in a speed reading course. It was in a book about his life.
About a quarter into 'thinking, fast and slow", this video has perfect timing for me. Realizing that being stuck at a decision is probably caused by not having the right problem statement is something I've been waiting a long time to realize. Thank you.
How do you come to know what is the right question of your problem that you can ask to yourself?
I love this! The ability to experience this not just randomly but deliberately with intention is amazing!
Is subconscious like rumination or is does subconsciousness feel like flow?
Respectfully , I hate being directed to FAQ pages and bots, and automated GPT style answers. Humans are the best. But good video.
It will eventually be a luxury to deal with a human and will command top dollar - where now customer service is not valued as a job as much lol 😂
Wow, this video is insanely good
Simplicity is resolved complexity.....if one truly understands a topic, they should be able to easily explain it to a child.....
I feel like the Cognitive Bias High described at the end, or at least with the example given, might help a LOT of people who cripple themselves into making more wrong choices because it directly contradicts the Sunk Cost Fallacy.
It allows one to think "what's best for me at this moment" withouth bias of recency or weighting, as opposed to thinking about it and weighing in the "well, this already has this inherent value (to me) because of the investment made in it already".
Yeah it's like your gut knows that you should leave her but you still stick to her until getting dumped.
9:22 @riandoris: You can't make a key that unlocks a lock if you don't know the Lock's shape and structure.
@lockpickinglawyer: HOLD MY BEER.
You are a great speaker. I feel so motivated whenever I listen to you speak. Great research and presentation.
Yeaahhhhhh... buddy!
You are a master at teaching us how to use our brains.
My favorite video of yours! I've lived most of my life in that flow...started with riding horses in the hills of the South of France...bareback having to navigate with absolute flow and intuition.... then moving to the States...California, also relying heavily on intuition as I had to learn a new language and lots of options to choose from. What I love about being really singular with your goal is how fast your System 1 lasers in on the right doors to open or close. I love it when 'claircognizance' just knows that it's the correct choice. It's a solid deep knowingness. And I love that you've got words for it that's not woo... I only knew it from a spiritual stand point...didn't know it was backed by science :)
Thank you for commenting, as someone who is into science myself and is also spiritual, this makes perfect sense. The whole time he was talking I was relating that to how I was trying to tap into my intuition and get more clear messages from my subconscious/higher self that is devoid from cognitive biases
It all ties up so well
This channel changed my life ❤
Thank you ❤
Great content... Enjoyed it thoroughly... One problem though is identifying the root problem...Is there a way to reliably do so? Thank you for the content. Let's discuss everyone, your welcome. 💛🙏
Yes we can become frozen in indecision, but it's better to delay than to go off half-cocked. Once that first domino falls there's no turning back.
So relying on analytical thinking to make decisions is a bad thing? I'm afraid I'm going to have to disagree with that. Analytical thinking is the only way that you will ever have a chance to come to anything that even resembles the truth.

Will the incumbation still happen if you’re doing nothing?
As opposed to something mindless like playing with a ball or showing? Can I just block out rumination time where I sit in a chair and do nothing but let my mind wander? This is all assuming I’ve already highlighted to my subconscious the outcomes I’m looking for a solution for. Rian PLEASE 🙏 answer this is a dying question
How to make decision, solve problem
1. Spend time in problem space: write down problem in question form.
2. Spend time outside problem for a walk
3. Come back to problem and solve it

I will make a decision by not liking this comment!
I choose to say no
I will touch you everywhere
The problem I see fit to pose here is evaluating whether Ben deserves to get a like from me. The question is then, how do I accurately assess the reasons he should and reasons he shouldn’t get a like, and then which sum is greater?
I will now play a bullet chess game with minimal cognitive effort, simply using it as a gateway to transient hypofrontality.
A fast win. Now for the flow journaling.
The way I see it, the reasons Ben might deserve a like are: why not, spread some positivity; exhibiting some wit in posing a trite trope that takes on a secondary meaning in the context of the video. The reasons to not like the comment are: it isn’t all that clever of a comment, simply minorly so.
Ultimately low hanging fruit does not require much skill in taking, and though there is some merit in the spotting of it, I cannot condone liking this comment.
🤨 Take it easy @@archsys307
You put these things into words so clearly, reminds me a lot of what I’ve been trying to do for the last 2-ish years for myself. Glad to have you as a resource. Thank you.
I just want to know whether or not to add avocado.
The irony is that these videos are produced in a very tense and erratic.way, which actually lacks grace and flow, you should consider making it more simple and organic, rather than throwing a bunch of money at it and utilizing the latest technology- which lacks continuity with the human organism, also the stiff/boxy sports trainer delivery is more of the same….
it’s not all subjective, there is a language
dribble, by the time you get to the point you have spewed so much useless content, the message if there was any at all is lost in you deliberated but unfortunately wordy writing. maybe refocus on the message. consider your audience from a different view point making it so they will understand it better and less focus on them thinking your smart enough to tell them something.perhaps something far less wordy and repetitive would be your ticket to success, . of course if your fully aware and want to fit the you tube algorithm by stretching out an additional 15 minutes then you have then just joined the gaggle of click bait producing content providers with potential to help but like a ship at sea merely floating around with a rudderless boat. AFTER ALL I COULD OF JUST WROTE WAY TO WORDY TO GRASP AND WAY TO MUCH EFFORT TO PROCESS WITHOUT ANY SUBSTANCE, but you wouldn't likely bother to read the perceived hateful dialog. however good framing of the issue you wish to help...
I like your videos! The topics are really interesting and you seem like quite an expert in them.
There's just one wish I have: I would like your videos to be more concise.
For me, there's too much repetition and paraphrasing of ideas and concepts that aren't that complex. It reminds me of nonfiction books, where usually one concept takes up 10-20 pages exploring the idea in great detail and giving numerous examples. The difference, however, is that in books, we can skim paragraphs and pages that don't have that crucial information, but we can't do that with video. So it makes it difficult for me to watch more than a 30-50% of your videos. Your choice of topics, titles, thumbnails and hooks are wonderful, but the slightly unnecessarily long intro and lack of concise wording makes the video lose me before the halfway point.
It's just a friendly piece of advice that from a fellow TH-camr and if you don't agree with me it's ok.
Thank you for your content!🔥
Please check your spelling on graphics…perhaps it should be “nothing more THAN the selection of a solution” and PRECISELY…
These errors are distracting, Rian, and detract from your brilliant work. It engaged my system 2 instead of allowing me to engage system 1 and open up to the mind-sparks your beautiful ideas are generating.
I describe your Silent Operator as my Constant Traveler. 😊
This would communicate FAR FAR more effectively if it didn't rely so very, very heavily on references to athletics. You do realize that MOST people NEVER experience a flow state while physically exerting themselves? To them it's a completely incommunicative strategy.
Keep makig EA attractive cool and luxurious!
Just get to the fucking point!
easier said than done for people on the autistic spectrum of which the frontal lobe is much larger than its supposed to be while taking up space that would have otherwise been taken up by the basal ganglia and amygdala, essentially forcing us to constantly compute everything around us, at all times, effectively hampering our quick decision making skills in quick social situations, while vastly improving our focus and intellectual capabilities.
It’s gonna be amazing video! Watching it first
You lost me at the start, there is a big difference between the decision you need to make that will impact the next 5-10 years of your life versus the decision you are making about where to put your foot as you run. One has a very big impact and one has very little impact. Big impact carries more fear, if you can make big impact decisions feel like little impact then this works.
Kahneman didn't "discover" anything. He simply gave a name to something many people have known for thousands of years. Most people aren't aware of these different modes of thinking, so it seems "new." It's like Columbus "discovered" America, but America was there long before Columbus got his look at it.
This is not the recommendation of Daniel Kahneman's study. It's the opposite. In short, most people were too lazy to go through the necessary steps to deploy system 2 thinking (critical) for decisions when they should.
This is why most ceos want data to make decisions…..they don’t have the in the trench experience necessary to build the intuition necessary to make quick decisions. Not to say data is useless especially if u know which data is important but again that comes down to experience. I work with alot of execs and they are intellectually lazy, vapid and a best pull strong puppets.
Accessing your flow state and making decisions in such a state has its merits because most of our decisions are made by our subconsicous mind. Our subconsicous mind is good for making quick decisions such as playing physical sports, driving cars, etc.
However, relying on subconcious mind alone on making decisions is perfectly disastrious because our human brain tends to make shortcuts when facing with complex problems. Various examples have been given by the late Charlie Munger in his writing about the misjudgemenet of human pschylogogy.
Imo, you can learn to make better decisions either from your own mistakes or someoneelse’s. It’s achievable if you are familiar with the scenarios yourself but again, sticking to your subconscious brain alone for complex problems will lead to disaster
People do not have ESP. Our intuitions can and often are wrong. We have built-in instinctive survival mechanisms such as thinking it's a lion in the grass instead of just the wind. Does that mean that there's really a lion in the grass?
The silent operater is what is called god in james 1. Presumably in more parts too, as the story of the guy who was ordered by god to sacrifice his kid but when the sacrifice was about to be made, he didnt have to because he proved his devotion. Or the other guy who had the series of very unfortunate events happen to him and yet he remained true. These are just extreme stories to drive the lesson home of not betraying your truth. Both were even rewarded for their actions.
Sad enough, what happens when we do because of limiting beliefs is that we fall into depression and that becomes like living life with blinders on. The stories we tell ourselves can be like mental parasites feeding on our emotions but provide us nothing and all the while they have cleverly disguised themselves that we think that they are actually us. Its reminds me of the guy that was poisoning the king and whispered ideas in his ear from the movie the lord of the rings. Like robert greene always says, find your purpose outside of what everyone else is saying. Stay true
Thank youuuuuuu❤
