How To SMASH DAYS When You Don't Feel Like It - Jocko Willink

[@ColdFearFreestyling]

Every young man should listen to this podcast whilst growing up. In this day and age when there arent many male role models, Jocko is a Gem.

[@StriderCX]

JACKSTER CRACKSTER Hell Jocko isn't just a male role model, he's a general role model for man or woman. I'm obsessed with Extreme Ownership.

[@ugugublu2951]

Question: How do I do x? Jocko: Do x.

[@wolfwoodphreak]

Ugugublu its Aristotelian ethics. your question is its own answer. "how do I get great at x"? do it. by great at it. that simple. change occurs that way from the second states of being are opposed. the second you go from not doing it to doing it, you already effected the first and most crucial step to getting it done

[@ugugublu2951]

I see what you mean. What he says and most how he says it though is always a little on the edge between inspirational/demonstrative and a silly oversimplification.

[@megamaxiguy]

Life is more simple than people think.

[@Grokushagh]

Simple, but not easy.

[@curtismcqueary]

I agree with Mr. Jocko. However, I wish that he had elaborated on the thought processes that entail "just moving forward." The importance of rituals, prepping your gear (for me--the coffee maker) the night before. At the age of 51, I know that going to the gym is ALWAYS better than not going--even if it's just getting the blood flowing. Jocko is a great role-model. A little more civilian-friendly (multiple response strategies) might be useful. I'm a veteran, so I get where he's coming from. Much respect!

I hate this... not because it's wrong, but because it's right. I'm not a slob or a loser, but sometimes I act like one. Sometimes I take the day(s) off. Sometimes I take the path of least resistance. I don't want to be that guy anymore.

[@Tony.Galanopoulos]

SundownTE be honest with yourself man. You take those days off because you want to. You choose the least resistance because you don't want to try. In those moments you choose the instant gratification over working towards a better, more stronger you. You choose to succumb into laziness rather than climbing towards success because your desire to be unstoppable is not powerful enough. The pain of this realization is what will give you the power to actually overcome your laziness. Stay with the pain of your failures, feel how intensely you hate seeing yourself falling. Don't let yourself feel good with the image of what you'd like to become. See what stops you and just destroy that shit with your will power. No one said its easy, but this path is all about enduring the pain and sacrificing your pain, in order to to become unstoppable. The desire to do it is all you need.

Ever heard of the story of the lumberjack? The lumberjack got to a new forest and started chopping wood, and got a decent amount of trees chopped down the first day, about 13. The next day he got up a little earlier, and managed to chop 14 trees. he was so excited he told the buyer that there will be plenty of wood to transport and sell! The next day he again woke up a little earlier, but only managed to chop 9 trees. he was really confused. he didn't understand at all why this had happened. how could he chop less wood even tho he's working harder?? The next day was even worse, he managed barely to chop 4 trees. He started to become depressed and anxious about his work. With this pace he wouldn't be able to keep up with the demand, and the buyers wouldn't buy from him anymore. One day his buyer came by, and saw that he was sitting on the porch of his cabin, looking sad. The buyer asked what's going on. The lumberjack explained how he was frustrated and axious about how he wouldn't be able to supply enough wood to survive. They decided to sit down and have a coffee to talk about it. While the buyer was in the kitchen looking at the lumberjack making coffee, he noticed the lumberjacks axe, which looked really doll, and asked when was the last time that the lumberjack had sharpened it. The lumberjack said "never". The buyer asked how the lumberjack could expect any good results if he didn't take care of his tools. The lumberjack had no answer. While the lumberjack lifted up his axe to inspect how doll it was, the buyer noticed that the lumberjack also had torn his arm and it was purple from broken tissue. The buyer asked how could he even think of working if he's not physically capable. the lumberjack had no answer. The lumberjack hadn't thought of the basics enough, and hadn't understood what makes chopping wood efficient. He had thought that just working and working will eventually give results. Consistency is key, but you'll get much more done and enjoy it much more if you work smart rather than lots. Remember to sharpen your axes guys!

This story is 9000% better than the video. Sometimes you gotta push forward, but sometimes you really need to maintain yourself and sustain stuff that happens outside of the gym/business/relationships/etc. If you're not feeling like it because you're traumatized - for 100% deal with the trauma first, not just push yourself through stuff. Of course, sometimes pushing yourself through is THE cure and THE solution - but this is not always the case. Self harm through blind following of the discipline is the real thing.

I’ve watched many videos like this and the basic conclusion that I get from every video related this topic is that you have to master your own mind.

[@VisualVortexArtStudio]

For ultra solid life principle motivation talk that can really improve your mindset, jocko podcast is the very best. The messages I've heard in the podcast resonate in such a true way that other podcasts don't really capture, it makes sense that the podcast is surrounding books because the right books have the most power possible because they are someone's mind focused on the best way possible to say a message , then edit it down to the essence etc. Jocko is the kind of guy that you would be lucky to be near or with if some disaster situation went down, he's way more likely to survive than most people. Even if he was captured, he would be good. learning about people who went through hardcore war and hearing jocko talk about it like his own battles aren't anything close in comparison is a humbling insight, it helps to complain less about stupidly small problems when you hear these kind of discussions, thanks for making the podcast, it has definitely helped me improve my mindset.

[@DevilDogMotorsports]

I woke up today and did NOT want to go for a run. Didn't feel the "energy"... I watched this video and pulled myself together. I beat my personal best by 42 seconds. Thank you Jocko, you help motivate and inspire me every day.

[@Limpshot_McGee]

I'm sure there are some who think this advice isn't helpful at all, but it really can make all the difference. I have clinical depression, and that can make you really unmotivated and lethargic. But I've found that once you start to do some of the things you're supposed to do, you end up way less depressed, which gives you the motivation to do more stuff that you need to do. I like to think of it as "momentum."

[@Lacroixmakeupartist]

Damn...this man is inspirational!!!

[@partykrew666]

Jocko sure is intense

[@ratagris21]

He's hardcore. When in SF/SO youre hardcore and it becomes a lifestyle.

[@MichaelFrank-ls6xv]

The right attitude for the situation at hand, which is a lack of motivation - not burn out. Burning out is when you don't program rest and recovery into your life and break under the pressure of unaddressed fatigue. You program rest and recovery into your life just like everything else. You don't just decide not to do something else in the program - that's called laziness. By programming rest days, you retain command. Fatigue didn't overwhelm you and prevent you from doing something, you controlled your fatigue. You decide when to sleep, not your fatigue. You decide when to eat, not your hunger. By maintaining that mentality of having command over yourself, staying motivated becomes much easier.

[@gillhammer333]

Thanks Jocko, work’s got me drained man and I’ve skipped the gym a few days.. Changing that TODAY thanks to this video 💪🏼

[@ChrisKsan]

This guy should meet David Goggins and do podcast together. Maybe on Joe Rogan's podcast.

[@stickwithit]

This is the right mentality, but not a lot of people are willing to talk about the elephant in the room. Burn out is a clinical condition and it can be a serious problem, you have to bite the bullet and make time for yourself in order to stay healthy, motivated, and productive. Don't be afraid to take a day off when you need to, but account for it and build it into your plan. Make sure that the time you set aside for yourself is completely devoid of all work, in other words make it count. Love y'all, keep moving forward!

[@nemofilipovic1695]

Exactly right. Jocko Knows what he's talking about. Nothing but love for his advice, but I do feel that he missed an opportunity to talk about how after you put off that rest and push through this hard day, you should pay particular attention to your diet and sleep that night to make sure you're better tomorrow. Then again, this is an excerpt. He may have covered it.

[@TheCoffeeNut711]

@@nemofilipovic1695 he does have nuances its just this specific clip is about just that feeling you get when you don't want to do the work (assuming you ate enough and had enough rest and sleep).

[@saar5947]

Jocko saying you don’t need motivation to do stuff is ironically very motivating

[@ohyes966]

I watch this when I'm on the fence about going to the gym. I just need to get to the 54 second mark where he grits his teeth and I'm gone. So I encourage all of you who watch this looking for a push to just get up and go. Go to the gym. Go study. Study hard. Eat right. Prepare whatcha gotta prepare and just GET THINGS DONE. You got this.

[@siler7]

What he's talking about is the difference between serving your impulses and making them serve you. Impulses are like advisors...they're going to give a lot of information. Some will be good and some will not. A leader analyzes them and chooses which ones to listen to, and when. You have to lead yourself before you can achieve your potential.

[@vendogg]

I showed this to my wife. She’s finally packed her bags and left

[@luisjimenez2400]

Hahahahaha

[@absolutelynonameslef]

Congratulations!

[@rachelanderson3147]

I played this because my husband and I were laying there and at 1:40 when we heard him say GET. OUT. OF. BED. We both got up immediately 🤣

[@Fate2024]

I love that this doesn't have the classic background music for motivational videos

[@samhatch1657]

Yup that shit drives me crazy

[@kevinc.cucumber3697]

Right, get that corny ass Hollywood shit out of here. Really ruins the moment.

[@Mr.Becker-fq4bj]

Jocko thanks for this. I do this everyday as a lineman you may hurt but you just grind. You pump me up with your videos to push harder. Thanks for your Service in the military.

[@shipwrecker37]

I was about to sleep in because I've been feeling ill, but I know sleeping more won't help. I've already had 8 hours. I'm getting some coffee now. Thanks Jocko!

[@partisanguerrilla3167]

GEEE, HAD 2 MONTHS STRAIGHT OF THIS! IT CAN BE DONE!

[@eunuchcommunity]

Echo, you gotta get some pop filters for those condenser mics brah

[@valkeriecic]

eunuchcommunity At this point the mics popping is part of the signature ambiance of the show

[@elijahsulentic9410]

Yeah yeah brah

[@teti_99]

Man I feel like I could crush rocks and chew on glass after listening to Jocko!!!! Anyone else?? Lol

[@realatf1955]

TONGAN WARRIOR No because thats just plain stupid😂

[@chrisdsltech]

LOL! you're on your own on that one buddy

[@noahjones8616]

I listen to this at work where I literally crush rocks all day so yeah!

[@administracaounib5222]

I think a lot of people got this kind of backwards here, so I will try to put my personal perspective on what he said. This is not advice on how to start doing things per se, he is talking about that urge to give in, that weakness that constantly whispers in your ear before trying to do something hard. He isn't saying that "the way to do x is to just do x", but rather he shows that he feels that same drag as he keeps up with his routines, and outlines how temporary that temptation really is, something people tend to forget. He says to persevere and always do all you can, even if you don't feel like it rather than creating complex lies and excuses of being tired. Maybe you are, if that's the case, then rest, but otherwise, push forward. That horrible feeling goes away and suddenly you are back in the proper headspace.

[@alaaroumeeh2752]

Jocko makes you realize that you can do much more work throughout the day and always be better.

[@brandondehaas2144]

Make rest a necessity, not an objective.

[@arkhammemery4712]

Is his wife aware of his relationship to that microphone

[@rayan.1pac]

😂💔

[@Ohsohated]

I’d rather just stay in bed and watch these videos

[@JinNOSify]

Weak.

[@gwardo869]

Thank you for making me laugh hard!!

[@magamike1800]

great call. I am in bed at noon on a mutha fukin Friday watching youtube videos.

[@felixf4378]

Same. It's cold outside right now, and im hiding underneath my blankets watching this.

[@MrRobjs83]

Jockos coming for you

[@chasemeadows1867]

Jocko needs to make his own motivation app, I go back to this video every morning so I will get up and keep pushing today’s a new day the past is in the past do your best for today.
