- Energy and attention are a finite resource. They run out easily.
Energy and attention are directly funded by the amount of sleep and rest an individual gets, both of which are notoriously thin in today’s world.
This is why most people will never be successful; most people’s lives are set up to drain energy and attention.

As long as those things you throw in these buckets aren't your kids. What may feel like your life's purpose will get lost in the ledger of your legacy if you fail to hold your offspring's well-being (not the size of their bedroom, amount of crap they own, or trips they take) tantamount to the sum of your other pursuits. Seriously, if you're concerned about your legacy, you may want to consider the people most likely to write you obit and eulogy.
My i translate your videos in italian and then give u the advertisement money??
*Best Video Ever!🔥*
Multitasking - the art of doing many things poorly.
Time Stamps:
Say 'No' to:
1. Multitasking - Does not work. It makes you less efficient. Focus intensively on 1 or 2 tasks at a time (80/20 Rule) - 1:20
2. "Good" Opportunities - Only consider to apply scare resources, i.e. time, to GREAT opportunities (+ROI) - 3:08
3. Relations with the 'Wrong' People - End useless/tiring relationships with people out of your inner circle who do not contribute anything positive - 5:01
1. Multitasking, 2. "Good" (but not great) opportunities, 3. relationships with the wrong people
And remember kids: Exercise, Eat and Sleep right so you can fuel this Energy you need to Create.
It’s not the children demographic that needs the most encouragement.
#2 can become a problem if you have no long term plan to focus on. Therefore, missing great opporunities because of missing good opportunities that will actually yield great opportunities (for people who doesn't know what to do with their life yet). The greatest things in life come unexpected. If you are too focus on your goal, you end up losing some great opportunities as well. Just a train of thought for discussion.
Great video though!
My stream of thoughts exactly : opportunities can't really be differencied into great/good or even bad when you come upon them. You cannot connect the dots looking forward, only looking backward !
You can connect dots looking forward, it's called planning! However, every plan is made to be broken, so after you execute on your next plan step watch for circumstances that may lead to changing the plan for the better.
I think one can allow oneself other projects as long as they don't take too much time of your main ones... And as long as one can give all projects full attention when one is on them. When projects need to overlap something is going wrong.
I just think focusing too much can narrow your perspective.
I totally disagree about this point of view . Great opportunities never come by accident .. it need planing and implementation a great plan and unique implementation . If not you can point out one great opportunity that has emerged accidently
I absolutely agree.
Life does not need order,I think.
Life needs some kinda harmony.
"Legacies" are largely pointless. Unless you're Nicola Tesla or something, most people fizzle from memory within a few generations. Just live a life that makes you happy and brings you peace.
And before him we only really remember people like Christopher Columbus, someone who found an entirely different continent for people to live on.
Honestly it's just about living and being happy, if a legacy makes you happy then fine, if it doesn't then don't worry about it.
Well said.
I think it extends a bit differently than this though. You may not be specifically remembered or acknowledged for it, but making a significant enough impact on people could change how they live their lives, stating with your own life, and compound, reaching down generations. Though you may not be remembered as the person who helped a kid be good or live a fulfilling life in 100+ years, you can certainly make some level of impact that can translate and echo across teachings and interactions between people for much time to come, even if it's relatively smaller impacts on fewer people. Regardless of how hard you work you may achieve a Nicola Tesla-level legacy, but that's not necessarily important. Plus, if you never try, you won't know if you'll ever be a Nicola Tesla. In the end, it's ultimately what you want to come from your life, and either way, you won't care once you're dead.
A legacy is not always about being remembered, lasting legacies are never about the person, they are about the gift you bring others, love acceptance, compassion, or what you give to society, e.g. peace, home computers. Legacy is about starting something that continues to grow after your own death: love for others, not about being remembered.

I was brushing my teeth while watching this.
Now I know better
This is one of the best videos I've watched this week! Great points. My favorite was to say no to good projects and focus only on the great ones. Working in single task mode and cutting bad realationships is something I already do :)
I'm 70 and I'm still waiting for that great opportunity. I'm sure it will happen hopefully before my cancer kills me.
If you try to chase 2 rabbits at once, you will catch neither.

buy couple of healthy rabbit, and invest time to learn breeding them..
u gonna be rabbit master in no time..
Energy and attention!
You can give 50% of your time to each 🐇 🐇
But you CAN kill two rabbits with one bullet.
This video was very timely for me, just what I needed to see at this moment. I've seen many of your videos and they're all fantastic. But I wanted to write a quick note to say "thank you" for making this one.
I have been waiting to hear this from someone for such a long time. I resonate with this message 1000%.
This channel is exactly what I needed, and it was right before my eyes all the time. It ties together the little pieces that I have found myself over time, but without having connected them in a meaningful way. Now all that's left is the doing part.
Eating while watching things probably isn't a good idea either xd
That genuine voice hit the helpful mark just fine, good friend.
It’s great to know I’m doing the right thing after watching this. I just started this mindset this year finding out that this works best for me. As an introvert it works for me and makes me happy so I don’t ever feel like I’m missing out on an opportunity. I tried doing that before just taking every opportunity I can and it turned out I didn’t continue everything not because it wasn’t useful but it didn’t help me reach my long term goals for myself. It’s good that I tried for a very short time though because having had that short experience only made me realize that I wasn’t really missing out on anything. I knew those opportunities weren’t for me. As a person who is easily distracted, multi tasking never worked for me. I thought I had to be a multi tasker but it only drained me. I think it only works for errands but for daily self work for improvement, I need a lot concentration. And now I also always say no to almost everything beyond my routine I planned for myself to improve my skills. And I pick wisely when and whom I only give my precious time to, the only people that really matter or those who I’ll really benefit or learn from. And being someone who couldn’t say no, to opportunities not right for me, to friends who call you up whenever they want to but will say no to you when you invite, It’s life changing. Now I don’t ever feel guilty prioritizing myself and what I want for me anymore. When you do this, there will be people/ friends who will start hating you for changing. But stand your ground.
Steph V my god. Best comment I’ve ever read. Keep going. I’m sure things have changed for you since you left that comment here a year ago. Such an inspiration
Lovely content. Still, I would argue that not everyone is focused on creating a legacy, no matter its size. Some people really enjoy discovering more than mastering. So, for those people, they do appear to jump from point to point with no "great" outcome, but that free knowledge and pleasure is basically what they are in the pursuit of.
Found this very helpful. This is so similar to the concept being taught in The One Thing by Keller and Papasan. Trimming down energy wasters now. Thanks for creating this content.
This confirms what I've been feeling. for years. Awesome information.
Wow, this really speaks to me, I always do things that don't suit my goals. I'm trying to reorganise myself to work on the things I care about
Wow! Very helpful video. Brilliantly narrated.
Its amazing the way you put great content on this Chanel, i watched the first video and i end up subscribing thank you and i appreciate your hard hard work to help others
Great video because it provided a lot of insights on what I can do to improve my life and possibly achieve my dreams. I also love your channel as well so keep up the good work!
Great Job mate, I just found your channel and as long as the quality of your content remains to this standard or higher you will do awesome.
I really needed this today. I just spent most of my day utilizing many of my skills to help out a bunch of friends all for free and out of my pocket. Although I was glad to help them out and found satisfaction I still felt drained and unaccomplished. I need to say no more
Sam Anderson
Then again tomorrow, you may need them to get somewhere important, say a job interview or a date or a special activity you wanted to do, and they might just get you there.
There's so much good stuff to learn on YT. For me, this video is the great one. So now I'm saying No to more scrolling and off to a session of deep work.
This works. I have done both and achieved so much more in the last 15 years of my career and retired at 53.
I really needed to hear this again...
One of the best videos of "better life" I ever watched. And ive watched a loooot!!!
Attention Drag! There's a name for it! Whew... I thought I was going crazy.
I experience this when I have to switch from "field mode" to "office mode" in my yardwork business. They are different activities based on different mindsets, and changing the channel back and forth (what I have called it) wears you out. You get the physical drain from the field work, the mental drain from the office work, and a third drain from the channel changing "attention drag."
So true! Generally before I start working at home after work, i literally just take a moment to sit in my "homemade" sensory deprivation tank to let my mind and body re-charge.
Now that was a GREAT Video....Thank you Sir!
I love your channel, thanks for everything!
this is Fabulous.
i knew this instinctively without being able
to articulate it.
thankyou.
Excellent points, extremely helpful! Thank you for posting this.
this was extremely useful, thanks and subscribed!
Thank you for these videos, they are really helpful
STOP WATCHING SO MUCH TH-cam!!! thats my problem it can be good but it sucks you in
It's designed that way! If you do get sucked in, only watch educational shit.
don't watch to get entertained. watch to learn.
Jonathan Kosyjana I listen to it while I’m cleaning. I will never watch it.
Wished I watched this 2 months earlier. I've said "YES" to almost every opportunity that came my way. Am regretting some of those decisions.
Hello everyone and blessed be y'all honest and kind and just and loving. Love from another human.
The bots are not gonna love us. And brother, people are building bots. People are going to be too dumb to survive
Thanks for this video!
Thank you! This is a jewel!
Great video man I love it
The argument around the 2% energy cost (whatever _that_ means) of task switching does not show that multitasking doesn’t work. At best it shows that multitasking is _less efficient_ . That’s good to know, but it’s not always possible to use in practice. Apparently the university is a superb multi-tasker because it often chucks multiple urgent things at us at once!
Baked Utah true
Great points. Great video. Thanks
I agree with most things except for the side projects viewpoint.
Being in a podcast could give you more fame, and depending on who you do it with it can even be fun. (and give you more fame!)
And there's nothing wrong with giving spare time to a family member, especially if you're getting paid for it.
Being effective doesn't have to mean being a robot.
Rasmus Lundqvist Sometimes it does mean being a robot. Many times in fact. We are biological robots. When I've said that people are mechanical to psychologists they agree with me. I became a homeowner by age 24 by not having a personal life. I told my parasitic mother to f off, same with the rest of my family. Robotic diligence is what it has taken for me to rise out of my social economic status.
As a side project, I write reviews for my hobby in return for free stuff. (: I write my reviews explaining the target audience, as well as giving suggestions to enjoy said stuff.
I m falling in love with your channel. Just subscribed 👍🏻
that's makes two of us
I hate how right you are about multi-tasking...it's so hard to convince myself that multi-tasking is draining, but it's so true!! When I focus on something 100%, I do get it done faster and feel better afterwards.
That's nice ! you are different , Appreciate your effort and the topic choice .
I will remember these three time wasters. Thank you!
Good video post. Much appreciated.
Thank you
Excellent advice! Thank you
Great advice , thank you
Such a great illustrator
This is excellent advice, but it depends on the career one has. For example, as a social worker, the more opportunities you take, the more networking you do and the greater the chance for a great opportunity to come my way. As a social worker, I am a brand and I must ensure that more know who I am and how good I am so that when great opportunities arise, I am strongly considered.
so many people have missed great opportunities because they didnt seem great in the beginning..i would say seize as many opportunities as u can, cause u may never know which one leads to success...above all we ought to be selective aswel #mythought
A lot of the best opportunities actually look quite dreadful. It's only the slightly insane people who think that might be kind of fun that get to realise those opportunities
Amazing idea for channel articulation research and expertise did about 5 eps in car today
Thank you! Precious verbatim!
4. Envying others, especially through social media
The music at the end...so cool.
Great wisdom do not neglect your work for another’s no matter how great his needs
Thanks for this video
Just what I needed.
Awesome man
This is really good advice.
Loved this!!!!!! Thank you. P.S.- 6/8 years for MJ
Great video!
Vitamin B12.
Seriously. Great video! Thank you.
I need to listen to this multiple times so it can sink in.
Great stuff.
Thank You Soo Much!!
10/4!! Thanks!!
Teaching people to be selfish.... to be so individualistic and pursue their own goals.... until at the end they end up with so much material possessions.., and yet so distanced from the wholeness, the oneness of community and the need to devote some (significant) amount of time and energy to helping other people. No wonder at the end of such a person's project he/she must have so much stress and insecurity. Because he/she believes happiness is obtained by building high walls around yourself and doing your stuff.
Not to say there are a couple of nuggets to take though. Focus is paramount, and negative energy is to be disdained.
I was thinking the same thing but you put it really well.
I was thinking the same thing.
It is useful to have a stronger financial backing and freedom behind you from your business and project, as then you will actually have the ability to just "snap off" from work cycle and fully dedicate your life to living, interacting with others and experiencing freedom around you.
If someone's focus is (in point of fact) a charitable creation, say a business model to engage in financial networking so low income housing (for example) is a viable resource to build brand... THEN where's the "selfish"?
Are we all supposed to starve to death in the idiotic attempt to undo all the world's wrongs all at once?
OR could it be more feasible to scrutinize a certain particular shortcoming of society, WITH INTENSITY OF FOCUS, and see if there isn't a dynamic means to economically and feasibly fix that one thing... and then move on to another...?
Maybe stop talking out your ass just to hear your head (or keyboard) rattle... AND think. ;o)
Thank you!
A really valuable content !
It is one of most benificial effective work . Although i have read almost every single advice in varity of books such as art of learning and seveb habbites for most effective ppl .but, the method that has been used in this vids is astonoshing .. thank you for your significant effort
Great video👏👌
great insights..
Good stuff 👍
thanks for posting
Thanks for watching 👍
It seems like nowadays multitasking, signifies that one is very productive. This is a fresh perspective on that.
True! There's also a saying I've heard here on TH-cam that 80% of your productivity/success is a result of your 20% effort.
As we grow as adults, time and energy becomes more finite, as we can do so many things unlike when we're very young or very old.
I heard this once on stress management, once you managed your stress, stop entertaining opportunities that could add to it.
So what are great opportunities? I guess those are opportunities that make you lose sleep thinking about it or something you have always wanted to do your entire existence.
Pareto principle
i like it. thanks.
Watching this while working.
Stopping and concentrating on work...lol
Awesome 👍🏾👌🏾🎉🎉🎉
I don’t multi task but being able to multitask varies, some people can do it well. But there are many benefits of focusing one task.
Great video
Brilliant
How would you know if an opportunity is good or great if you already turned it down before trying it out? 🤔
Indeed
An opportunity is good if that's where you want to build your legacy on
My point exactly. How many people know how there day is going to unfold.. NONE!! so dont pretend you know what is good and what is bad.. Allot of discernment and experience is required to be able to know the difference..
@shaolin1200 yes and no. Some people think they know. Lol. It really comes down to wisdom
Ask people who went ahead with the opportunities. Your friends, seniors, people on Reddit, blogs on Medium, etc
Amazing
I prefer to be more diversified but still great video.
"Most of my energy is spent by having QUALTY time with my wife" XD
This man is a legend…
fantastic
How can we make this type of videos as in the technology that helps in amination and picturing. Name of one such software?
Thank you
There's a link to the software I use in the description for you Kevin.
If you have a full time job and exercise and meditate can you still have energy left to start an online business. How do you balance your activities or how did you balance your activities when you had a full time job
Thanks for sharing. I think you have stated the obvious. The trick is setting your objectives that will still be useful on completion and some time into the future. For example you might decide to become a petroleum engineer and oil reserves run out. Secondly you have to be able to discern useful fron useless interruptions. For example, when considering the financing of deep sea oil platforms to exploit off shore reserves, you might be undermined by electric cars technologyTo properly determine what to say no to, you need a risk assessment system. So tag on a risk assessment video and this video might have some application
Finally. This is the road I'm going down, but now I know I'm being focused, not an asshole.
I agree with your criticism of multitasking. Much of the rest seems to me pure selfishness. But more power to you.
This is ah 💎👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
thankyouuu
Point #2 is very situational. Sure, if you already have a good income stream that makes sense, but if you are not in a good financial situation, you need to take on any sort of decent opportunities. Great opportunities might take a long time to materialize
