Instead of “New Year’s Resolutions” I’ve started setting SMART goals that can be completed within 4 weeks or so that stack up and lead to one big goal.

[@Ikigai747]

All your videos are really informative and spot on! The way you break things down is really great and helpful. This is what makes you stand out in my eyes, the approach! Grateful. Happy New Year Justin❤

[@Dank_Lulu]

I really appreciate you sharing the New-years resolution advice in such high detail, Dr Sung! There are too-many things here that just click in place for me as my last six or so new-years resolutions were *all* achievable if I had a half-decent approach to them but not a single one worked-out. I was gonna try to dedicate this year to finding that approach but had no idea where to start and this is precisely where I want to start. Hopefully, someone else that sees this gets to do that *before* wasting six years of their life, not heading in the direction they want, that'd be a really cool thing!

[@jamesstramer5186]

Am glad I discovered this channel! Please keep up the good work.

[@paullafargecandide4073]

thank you so much. Please, continue doing what you are doing!!!!!

[@ayolabimartins690]

Very insightful, thanks Justin!

[@user-hd4nu8zd2q]

This is a very informational video full of advice that I can start to implement in my life, Thanks Justin! Most things in the video I really resonated with since, I knew that a mere New Year's Resolution wouldn't automatically enable me to just achieve the goal like nothing happened. I knew there ought to be some barriers and variables along the way, so when I saw your video, I kind of knew that the gist of your video would be about the process of removing barriers in order to gain better light into the goal Itself; not just stumbling along the way - or "vibrating"- and being not so efficient. (I like the Ventricular Fibrillation analogy btw) I also like how you said this: "Stay true to living the life that you want to live, not staying true to what a random goal that a past version of your made, which was actually more ignorant that the current you." nice video.

[@bijanzohouri98]

A noble advise. Thx for sharing it.

[@tinyleopard6741]

Thanks man, I've just watched the video (regrettably indulged myself too much) and will have to process it, but this is definitely one of the things I needed.

[@kovidhkottapalli2841]

Hey Justin any tips on scheduling for 2024? AND how make sure every month is maximized next year for progression in goals? And how to identify the actual barriers and setting strategies to overcome them.

[@BlueBen-vu4st]

I love this video ❤ really a framework i very need for this new year

[@puddingltf.1822]

This is what I have wondering and looking for!! TYSM JUSTIN

[@user-ip4ko3yt2z]

Omggg thanks for such life changing advise! Ill try it)

[@floweyy07]

This was much needed

[@benno8699]

Hi Justin, I know this video didn’t get as many views, but it was really a great video. Keep it up.

[@kaimemes]

I'm on the program right now and I'm feeling the exact same way about New Years' resolutions lol

[@savageous9508]

Justin I request you to make videos on encoding in detail

[@alexanderjackson7815]

This is as valuable as the others, not many people seem interested

[@williamlevii]

I saw the short yesterday and waiting for this video. I also simultaneously love the thumbnail and feel attacked by it.

[@Arjun-nt8ht]

Very helpful

[@AMJ2018]

Hey Dr.Justin, can you guide us on feedback system we can use while learning

[@captaincaption]

I don't call it Happy New Year, I call it New Year.

[@SumriseHD]

I wish you a New Year then.

[@grumpent]

I avoid this time of the year fr. The gyms be packed and people be going all out. Give it two weeks and they just give up 😭

[@Probablyramisha]

Omg nooo cuz I did a experiment on 2023s new year and I went to a gym in January 2023 and took a video of how packed the gym was, then I came back on February 2023 it was sooo empty 😭 That's why I only go to the gym after February every year lol

[@grumpent]

@@Probablyramisha exactly or I work alone at home 🤣

[@Michahel]

Huh I somehow checked my subscriptions the very minute you uploaded this

[@knuckles1546]

Hi Justin, I’m an Italian medical student trying to improve his efficiency when dealing with the whole studying process, and I intended to enroll in your course, but I discovered that contrary to how it was before, now you are obliged to enroll for a Full year, while I wanted to be able to try it First for some months, then decide if I want to go for the Full period or not. Wasnt it possible to make smaller payments in shorter periods?

[@Atlas-ui8im]

Hi Justin. In these kinds of videos can you make a sample example?

[@naturalgoldenjazz]

people mostly over estimates how much they can do in a year and the problem if u didnt reach the goal u beat urself for it

[@ArunAbrahamKY]

Could you do a video about kolbs?

[@vipham2158]

I have a question: what is different between related and relationship in the encoding state

[@inexp1]

Bro Justin is jacked all of a sudden

[@jorgesanabria6484]

The principle of constraints?

[@tharunragumar4850]

the analogy of heart is a.azing

[@sabershenpai3512]

Then the status quo would be "New month, new me" then

[@rabi636gamer]

Bro at this point I am losing interest when is the exam video coming up

[@arihaviv8510]

Ok so my new year's resolution is to make monthly realignments

[@nielsdebont8419]

Just asking out of curiosity, do you have any idea why there are so many porn accounts commenting on your videos? I see them in every short and I'm counting 3 out of 8 right here and they don't seem to be bots.

[@user-ql4mg2un1j]

Why are they here?

NY resoulution are just wishes and vague. Wants without plan steps and timeline are just wishes

[@ericksonlk]

Video idea: Why don't you make a room tour? I'd like to know how you organize your physical space and the reasons for the stuff we see in your background.
