Can relate to all those “symptoms too” will definately read the book. Thanks Josh - great 1st video to have published.

Another awesome idea I have not been exposed too before. Keep it up Josh look forward too more ideas….👌🏼

Thanks for introducing me to this method. I have been looking for a daily reason to fill my pocket notebook and just found the solution. ‼️

Great video. Thank you

Great video man, thanks a lot for the idea on the emergency list. That’s the best idea I’ve heard in a long time. We all go through those hard days every now and then, sometimes even on a weekly basis, and it’s a great idea to have a list to help us get rested, rejuvenated, and back on track. Thanks a lot and keep up the great work and great advice.

Hi Josh, how did you learn to improve your reading skills for comprehension of the tech field?

Your explanation of mental loops staying open has persuaded me to give journaling a try. It reminds me of an Internet browser with too many tabs open. Great video.

This is exactly what I needed! Feeling unmotivated is a very uncomfortable feeling. When previously we felt very motivated.

Wow! that's a lot of key and important content.

In my own world there are mainly three things/factors on which your day might mainly deepend on: > Is there electricity today? > Is something terrible happened that we have to stay indoor? > Do we have network today? It might sound strange to some people but that is our reality out here and it makes things very difficult for someone like me who is interested in tech to have a sort of timetable to follow. when there is electricity but no network, yeah I can read some pdf and keep learning. when there is network and no electricity, with a laptop batttery that can't last upto three hours it gives one a lot of stress to know what exactly to look online within short battery lifetime. Some days are normal everything is just fine and you can work the way you want but such days are rare, maybe at most three times per week, it would have even be good if we can know the good days in advance. Some days we face secessionists incursion and boom no one is allowed to be outdoor or even if it is not the case I will not risk my life to go out on such days. Some days you just feel exhausted just by thinking about those things. What I am saying is that it is not easy but one must learn and keep progressing. Thanks again for the valuable content.

A regular journal, even a Moleskine, adds too much weight to my purse. I made a dotted sheet in Photoshop and just print out a few pages at a time, fold each sheet in half and keep inside a small cardboard folder in my purse. When I fill up the sheets I put them in a ringbinder. Your "power list" method is pretty much what I do, except I usually just write 3 things. But I haven't been rating each day as a Win or Lose --- I like that idea; I think I'll start doing that. Thanks

Really informative video, bro, thanks a lot for the journaling tips to win the day!

New subscriber❤

The only easy day was yesterday.

Great video! Nothing worth having is easy. 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼

you said it all. Thanks

Great advice in this video, keep up the good work bro

Thank for this advice

Excercism is a really great site, thankyou for the suggestion

This was really helpful thank you.

The getting fit metaphor is really thought provoking for me. Thank you for this video! As someone who failed going to the gym consistently, I am also failing with consistent practice with coding. I work in customer support and learning python with the goal of a career change. I learned a good chunk of the fundamentals for python in a day or two and then forgot about everything, did not look at anything programming-related for weeks. This led to me making zero progress as I forgot the concepts and have to re-learn them now. A year ago I had bought a 1 year gym membership because there was a discount and I wanted to get more muscles. I soaked up a lot of info online and researched a lot. I went to the gym a couple times a week in the first month and felt I was making great progress. However, taking 2-3 months off and never going just erased the progress in terms of strength. Now, thinking back on it, it's obvious that my default behaviour is not good for me and I need to modify some things. I am not sure how I can accomplish this. The problem is clear, I need to create consistency one way or another and git(!) committed to building. Maybe building 50 100 projects can be a good goal to strive for for me.

Thanks for the update. I have been using Angela Yu's Python projects course. Handy. And rigorous to say the least. She's such a good teacher.

Mate, commit to something for 6-8 months in the time where our attention span is 30s :) that’s a true impossible challenge.. off to get my study plan. Thank you.

Great video bro. Your content is definitely underrated, lots of great things I’m learning from your channel

Thanks for this valuable content. I think every self learner needs such content for better planning.

Thanks for this. I agree that notebooks can help us think more clearly and just be happier.

Got my phone stolen once. It was a very weird week.. I think the carrying it around with us everywhere is more of a physical habit. For example, feeling your phone in your pocket. You get used to sensation and once it’s not there - you feel something missing. So I would add to the video that it’s not just the dopamine addiction but a physical one as well. Just like smoking. When you smoke you get addicted not just to the nicotine, but to the sensation of holding the filter in your mouth, sense of smoke moving through your lungs, a smoker even gets used to holding the cigarette a certain way. I mean smoking is definitely worse than phone addiction, but this comparison might explain the toughness of the addiction. When you are in an aeroplane- you can’t smoke and you won’t.. same as if you forgot your phone at home. But as soon as you are out of the airport - it all kicks in again.

my problem isn't a phone but this desire of wanting to learn everything or know everything that is pulling me down, unable to reach and advanced level in at least one of the things I am learning. someday the mind is looking into cyber security, another day it has the desire to learn web development, another AI, it keeps fluctuating

Love the advice in this video man. There’s always this incomparable feeling of satisfaction and triumph when you go through some of those trials in life, and make it out successful on the other side. It’s important to feel like winners in life, and one of the only ways to harness that feeling is to face those hard times.

Longtime sir. Glad I am back again. Very interesting content.

great advice. i never noticed how strong those difficult experiences have made me today.

It is time to work for the strong body and mind…

Bro I had debates with my friends on the same topic, this is so refreshing to watch since I share the same views and I completely agree with everything you mentioned. Great video. Hope your message reaches millions of people.

I get to to either 33% or 66% of Udemy courses 😆. Spot on! However, it’s really hard to tell how much is “just enough”..

c = programmingConcept k = knowledgeForJob while i < k: study(c) implement(c) push(c) i += 1

Great video for coders out there as well as anyone going through the process of learning something new

So wait, are you a software engineer or are you a data analyst?

you are fr underated

Subbed!

The capture habit is hard at first, especially if someone makes it too complicated. This brain dump notebook is so important. I use Field Notes because I really like them. And that helps me to use them. And using them is what matters.😊❤

Any Dollar tree notebook does the trick.

Thanks for the tips man. They were definitely useful , it’s easy to forget that maybe one of the biggest reasons we’re not hitting our goals is due to procrastination. And luckily there’s some great tips to fight it. Great video

Here's a tip that I find useful in doing a single task that I've been putting off because I dread it: I imagine or visualize myself doing it and finding it not nearly as bad as I've been expecting. After doing this a few times on a few different days, I can decide to go ahead and tackle the task. Having finally gotten it done makes me feel good, even if it wasn't the greatest experience.

Might want to check out: Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience by Mihály Csíkszentmihályi I've found that splitting up my study times actually results in less progress. Where if I get into the material "flow" and go until I hit a dead end or feel tired, I'm able to make far more progress in less overall time. Aside from the Pomodoro point, everything else in this video was excellent and spot on!

Such great advice in this video for all men in today’s day and age where we tend to feel a lack of purpose and accountability in life. I loved the pillars and first hand examples you laid out.

Mad respect for the journey you took to achieve a stoic mindset and carry your obligations with grace.

Not that it matters, but I am your 1K subscriber. All the best for your channel.

They need to understand that it is not girls/women’s fault that they are lost. They have to come to terms with the fact that the world has changed and “we’re not going back”. Men cannot control women. I’m sorry, but they can’t. They must accept this.
