How I Stay Focused Working 14-Hour Days - My Flow System

[@batsteve1942]

It’s rare I put a comment like this, but this video genuinely helped me today. Staying productive has been really hard this week, and I wanted to end the working week positively. Watched this video at lunch and it genuinely helped me.

There's nothing more satisfying to me than cleaning up my desk after a day of work. Makes me relax on one side and clean up at the other

[@sajademad117]

This one of the best videos I've seen on the topic. Informative and cut to the chase, thanks Liam.

Atomic Habits = The best book about it I think (i know it sounds strange but it speaks about being healthy, have easy wins, etc it's a great book ! ) Great vidéo tho !!!

[@DeactivateMe27]

Currently started reading this book, and it’s a REALLY GOOD book!

[@rizzyknows]

I cant help but see hughie from the Boys whenever I watch these videos 😆

[@ChewieTomatoes1]

Liam kinda looks like Jack Quaid.

[@ariela_]

Lmao now I can’t unsee it

[@theeddychua]

This is so helpful! Thanks Liam, and keep the content coming!

[@SketchesnScrubs]

Really great tips! Thank you for sharing x

[@aciuschristophores7789]

Liam, it's clear you pour your heart and soul into these videos. You yourself are an incredibly rare person in that you personify what Jordan Peterson says men should aspire to be: "Productive generosity". You are not only productive / valuable to society but you then turn around and are generous with your time and ideas, to help others rise up as well. You don't clam up your ideas in some selfish drive. Liam, do you have any ideas on how best to achieve flow state when revising/memorising Law Notes? I'm facing my upcoming Bar Exams here in Bangladesh and goddamn is the materials at times just mind-numbingly boring. At first read its initially interesting, but the repetitive repetition needed to bloody stick in your mind just takes the wind out of me. Any tips from personal experience, brother?

[@chriscoursey6112]

Great video. I work from home, so staying focused is a challenge.

[@alishirilawyer]

Thank you for sharing this useful pieces of information.

[@leeklass3907]

Thanks for explaining something that crossed my mind about quality of sleep. Some of my work environment is outside my control as I work some of the week from a desk that I have to book as my employer uses hot desking in an open plan office even though I try go in on the same days I don't always see & speak to the same people hat I work with. On the days I don't work from the office I tend to do taks that more conentration as I can control the environment . It dosen't matter where I'm working from I try and go for walk for 15 to 20 minutes even if ti's to buy tickets for my train journey ahead of the day I go to work from the office that way I can just get the first train and not have get stuck in queues to use the ticket machines or served by staff at the ticket office. I try and plan my day by looking at the what I'm scheduled to be doing and online meeting I need to attend.

[@ellisd20]

Random question but what’s the make and model of your office chair (the white one from you firm’s office)?

[@olivier3516]

Pomodoro method helps a lot

[@yazidmadrid]

Do you have any special recommendations on Endel ?

[@aydinhutchison]

Such an inspirational video, i really struggle with effective focus? when it comes to long period of time.

[@Dooolce1]

Is it just me or are all these "productivity-youtubers" such as Ali abdaal, Liam etc. starting to just recycle each others content? I mean don't get me wrong these videos are beautifully edited and put together but holy moly the content/advice of this video is pure cookie cutter stuff (sleep is important to have flow state... NO WAY, keep an organized work environment, avoid distractions), such generic advice that sounds like its straight spit out from ChatGPT..? Good job click-baiting me with the title though with the "working 14-hour days", it got me curious if you would have some other advice to offer than what countless other youtubers have already made a video about. Don't take this as a critique, but simply as feedback that instead of pushing content out just because you have to reach a certain quota of videos per week, really think about the content & originality of these videos. This is coming from a longtime subscriber.

[@adam-vy6rk]

Tbf what do you expect them to do? Almost everything that can be understood around the realms of productivity and wellness has been researched to hell since the Greeks. There really isn’t much to being productive so most productivity KZbinrs are just trying to maximise people’s fomo of not being productive. Productivity isn’t about little hacks to be productive but is about getting the core parts of life in check like your sleep, diet, exercise and social relationships and the rest will follow.

[@dennisnehrenheim]

The KZbinrs mentioned primarily cater to beginners, as introductory content tends to attract the most views. While their advice may seem basic, it's fundamentally essential. If you're not implementing these recommendations, then this advice is still relevant for you. On the other hand, if you've mastered all the basics they cover, you might no longer be their intended audience. In that case, you could consider unsubscribing to explore more advanced content elsewhere (hint: likely not on KZbin). ;)

[@dennisnehrenheim]

@@adam-vy6rk I agree that people have thought about accomplishment for a long time, it is also true that the last few decades have changed how we live and work fundamentally. I believe that there is definitely a place for advice that targets contemporary issues. The old greeks didn't have to deal with "information overload", "distractions" and didn't have KZbin videos to procrastinate :D

[@monsieurene3366]

I absolutely agree

[@BomBomm12345]

why is your life so perfect

[@madaraainna]

What's the size of your monitors

[@dennisnehrenheim]

Hey Liam, gotta say, the title really grabbed me, but it kinda sets the bar in an iffy place. I mean, aiming for a 14-hour of focuses work every day by breaking it down into 1-2 hour chunks? That’s up to 7-14 sessions a day if I did the math right. Plus, you're also squeezing in 8 hours of sleep, some regular workout time, and those necessary breaks between sessions (which, let’s be real, adds up to at least another hour and a half). When you map it all out, it doesn’t leave much wiggle room for the rest of life's stuff, right? How does one fit in family time, hobbies, or even just chilling? And, with this plan, it feels like you’d be snacking non-stop. Don’t get me wrong, there’s some solid advice in your video, but as it stands, it kinda feels like a fast track to burnout city rather than a balanced life. Just my two cents!

[@JAH1139]

Another great video Liam! Where did you get that sweatshirt?!

[@BalazsFingszEgyikFingja]

0:57 as a Hungarian it was an almost perfect pronounciation of his name, only thing that U have to put an -e pronunciation to the end.

[@katg7536]

What music do u listen to when ur in a state of flow?

[@leonardolealahumada8324]

Excelente

[@menassies3224]

I was 22 in uni i would be in flow for the whole day basically

[@menassies3224]

First. Procrastination is my biggest problem thanks

[@arbr_i]

What area of corp law are u in?

[@BalazsFingszEgyikFingja]

I think he said one was/is M&A

[@adam-vy6rk]

Hey I love your vidoes but I don't know if you went into this in a proper mode to record. You just seem like you are slightly disconnected or slightly unhappy. I'm not sure but it just in slight moments between words were your face will drop and tone changes. Hope all is well! Great video!

[@Quickb3n]

He's working 14 hours days. I'd be fucking depressed too if i was spending 60% of my life filling someone elses pockets and trying to convince myself it was enjoyable and sustainable.

[@adam-vy6rk]

@@Quickb3n Tbf I wouldn't say that he's unhappy because he's filling someone else's pocket. That just sounds like a boohoo capitalism bad argument. I do agree though that doing 12-14 hour days isn't a good idea. You're meant to work to live not live to work.

[@azkavan1]

Short answer: what’s in motion, stays in motion

[@charleschan8989]

Second.

[@noneyourbiz4193]

Why! 14hour days so we can all buy more stuff we have absolutely no need of? Working practises of the workhouses given credence by people who want to by more stuff they don't need.

[@davidc4408]

I lost my focus after uNibersity at LSE and Wharton. Used to be a great student with laser focus. But by 30s too much networking and business events reduced that solo time needed . Almost introvert extreme to more extrovert with constant corporate mixing. Many introverts have insane focus.

[@Leinsterbaby]

I kinda find it a bit annoying to focus and be very productive and making some one else rich, best thing to do is to try and do least amount of work for most money possible.

[@friederichnietzsch]

This seems reasonable, until you also consider that in order to make yourself rich, you will still have to work whether it be for yourself or someone else.

[@robforbes8097]

They call that the w2 mindset

[@Leinsterbaby]

@@friederichnietzsch and I’m ok with that, but, i learned that if you do great work, ur given more work not a reward. So rich boy over here on video, is kinda annoying …I’m pretty sure he doesn’t work as much as he says he does.

[@BalazsFingszEgyikFingja]

​@@LeinsterbabyI mean he is a lawyer at a London Magic Circle law firm. Thats close to the highest level of this profession. With a little bit of insight into corporate law firms myself, im pretty sure he works a sh*tton amount.

[@Leinsterbaby]

@@BalazsFingszEgyikFingja what i meant was, that you don’t get there without having a shit load of cash or someone wealthy in the family with connections, i know that, because i went through this. Trust me, you don’t have time for youtube if you are working for top tier law firms, unless you are a partner there. I generally despise rich kids lecturing everyone on how to be productive.

[@AmsNl2BcnEs]

Why the opposite of Eat the Frog? 🐸 Unusual to do the opposite. Have you tried?

[@Pelfox33]

Dude will be burned AF in a couple months if he continue these 14hour staff

[@channiedhillon]

14 hour days... Seriously... What motherfuckers make you work 14 hours a day...?? 😅😅

[@JEARICK.]

I checked out/bumped into your Tiktok channel and saw that you're making great content.Do you have a business email? So i can shoot you a message?
