This really hit me. I went through some horrific stuff, ran away, and was pursued by a group of men who had participated in my trafficking experience. That constant vigilance and survival wrecked me from feeling like every day would be my last. But it doesn't matter. Anymore. The abuse doesn't matter anymore. The trafficking doesn't matter anymore. Running away from everything (including trying to run away from myself) doesn't matter anymore. I feel truly relaxed for one of the first times in 18 years.

I like how the guy on the left is actually exposing some of his weaknesses...don't see that much on this extremely tough guy channel.

[@littleripper312]

That has to to with them being successful guys as opposed to tough. It's because successful guys aren't as insecure and the other thing is they're often times consciously aware of what their weaknesses actually are. A lot of people aren't really aware of what their weaknesses are and that alone could be the reason they aren't successful.

[@zabijakkurat1372]

he is just in constant cycle of self pity and avoiding responsibility, blaming everything on his bs diagnosis, drug use, talking about how his brain this and that, oxycoton replaced with social media, this idiot is probably daily binging on social media and all he can come up with is complaining how he cant focus and how it bugs him, he is barely listening to jocko as he is too bussy thinking about ways how he could make himself seem like a victim, its just pathetic

[@armorsmith43]

Mike Earls its also a really important part of Extreme Ownership. You need to know your own brain if you want to have a strong foundation of self-leadership to be able to lead others.

[@armorsmith43]

He says "ADD" as a bit of a throwaway in the beginning, but... does anyone know if he got himself a really solid course of treatment? ADD is *not* attention deficit. No. It is attention *Dichotomy* disorder. They got the name wrong trying to get kids to focus. But as an ADDer myself, I can focus *really* damn well. It is called Hyperfocus. So in the highly structured environment where priorities were made *really* clear, you might perform to a Michael Phelps level. Sniper sounds like the *best* job. A spotter communicates directions and a squad takes care of any possible other priorities. The ADDer gets to do breath meditation and *literally* hyperfocus down the scope of a rifle. Sounds like Heaven. But in normal life, you can't do that. In normal life you have to actually flexibly manage "How much attention should I give this thing?". ADD makes it harder to manage that *dichotomy* of *self*-leadership. Good ideas if you have ADD: - Take ownership: Learn how your brain works. Look up who invented the electric vacuum cleaner and why. - Hit the gym and work out *intensely*. Every push-up is giving your dopamine-starved brain some love. - Build habits to turn clutter into order. You might find that normal todo systems don't work well enough and you want some help from someone who can systematize things to an extreme degree. An autistic friend can perform really well in collaboration here. - When you have a task, give yourself a crystal-clear idea of what a successful minute looks like. (Hint: a minute spent on a "failure" where you learned how to do it correctly is a successful minute.) - Find a job where you get Commander's Intent: clear priorities and why. - Get a prescription for properly-dosed (probably stimulant) medication. Bad ideas if you have ADD: - Do a randomly-dosed amount of cocaine just because it hits the brain kinda like Ritalin[1]. - Becoming a politician and letting a whole town try to demand your attention in 1,000 different directions. That sounds like hell. [1] www.mdedge.com/psychiatry/article/88937/addiction-medicine/your-patient-using-cocaine-self-medicate-undiagnosed

[@armorsmith43]

@ I only got medication last year. I could hyperfocus plenty of times beforehand. Your experience is yours and I hope even over the internet that you can feel my sympathy for the suck. My philosophy: You should get medicated only if you take ownership of your health and body. Kids often live under the roof of the "micro-managing commander" who doesn't trust "subordinates" enough to let them take ownership of *anything*. ADHD kids? Even less trust. So without ownership, these kids don't get a voice in titrating their own medication. So kids get stuck on meds with side-effects where an adult would report and switch.

[@mouthfulladeez]

Mr Mitic, Sir, I appreciate your dilemma. If what you want is to get the book done in a night, like Jocko says get it in your head that this is the mission. Visualize and actialize. However I am often not like Jocko, but I still admire his Jockoisms. What I do at 33 with a similar issue to yours. Is to read 10 books over ten weeks and give myself options. Keep those books on hand and choose the one you are ready to read, take the time to contemplate the others as far as youve read them and each time you finish a book add one more to your, immediate library. Some books I read over a year or two, but I contemplate them in the mean time and as I continue to grow, my new experiences and understandings grow with every page of each book I read. Find your style. Keep growing. Stay focused brother. The bottom line is discipline, the means is maliable. Experiment and get out of your comfort zones.

[@mouthfulladeez]

For Jocko consistency is key. For guys with the minds of artists the stages we go through in life throw us curveballs. Respond with a change up, be flexible, dont force change, shake up your routine and dont wait for windows of opportunity to come, work harder to find those windows for change. Think differently than you did yesterday. For guys like us, if you agree, are not a consistent continuation but an anthology of opportunities.

[@jamesandrews8157]

I appreciate your strategy and comment.

[@sgriffin8560]

Long ago I had a TBI (traumatic brain injury), and I lost the ability to "push out" unwanted information. They call it damage to the "executive function." A lot of mental stretching helps. Find the things that make you clam up, the things you do are scared of (not intellectually, but the things that make your heart beat fast in a bad way)... LIVE THERE. Breathe slowly. Work. Allow yourself more time. Talk to people who may be out of your group: kitchen workers, construction workers... I'm just saying. This fragmentation is part of the loss of executive function. Jocko hasn't faced it. It's not voluntary. It's Whim Hoff level. Stick with it, brother.

[@stephenhawkins3316]

Had the same but Mild version. Had trouble filling out forms and paperwork post deployment. Never heard of term damage to the "executive function". Took two plus years for the brain fog to lift. This is excellent advice from Jocko.

this is exactly what i needed to hear right now. ive been completely addicted to training for boxing all day and completely neglecting all my school work. its caused tension between me and my family. ive been so focused on "discipline" that i was blinded to the fact that i could achieve more success and exercise real discipline at the same time by just doing the work i need to do

[@tkkt.6480]

I have problems focusing on the things I need to do, like studying or doing work and my mind always drifts off into another place that is more "more fun" to me. I don't know how to fix it and I want to become better, but I am stuck at this mental block. It may even be my discipline that I have issues with to as well, I do something but I always try to find a way to get out of it and not to finish it. Like Jody Mitic, I used to be very determined on the things I was doing, going 100% on the things I want/needed to do like studying, but I just have seem to lost it and I want it back. I am trying to fix it now and hopefully get a my future straight because I have big dreams that I want to conquer, I just need to fix this block. If anyone has any tips that would be helpful, hopefully Jocko or Jody would see this comment and could add some input as well!

[@zacharyp10]

I wish I could say something to Jody here, but the best thing for me was to try doing 100% discipline as a "test" for a week to see how it effected me. I would not break promises to myself because I was just doing it for the week and was tired of being in my limbo state. Doing it under the premise of being a test was crucial for my mindset. I also realized subconsciously that I felt like I "deserved" happiness for doing some task I needed to. Sometimes that comes, sometimes it doesn't, and I realized how much thinking that way messed with my mindset, and how entitled it was. I was subconsciously looking for a method to enjoy mundane tasks... Which I should never expect to! Merely sitting down and asking yourself what would be that much better than what you are currently doing is great too. For example, I could do my homework, or hang out with friends. This made me sad originally, since I was missing out on hanging out with my friends. But I then realized how forgetable hanging out with friends was on a daily schedule. You don't remember those things, you remember hanging out with friends on the weekend for a long time because you got your work done earlier in the week instead of goofing off! I am by no means disciplined, but I am definitely getting better!

[@zacharyp10]

Something I am havjng trouble with was the critique of self. I.e, I would NEVER feel like I worked out enough, or studied enough. Admittedly trying to work on that now, but that's another detrimental thought process to look out for.

I think this is a good comparison into how an add/adhd person handles tasks vs normal people. Discipline & will power are a part but mental disorders are a real thing, peoples minds will work different (like a bi polar person as another example) so it is can be more difficult for certain tasks but more beneficial in others like physical activity

*Everything* Jody says sounds like my ADHD (inattentive subtype) and I’d like to give him some tips. 1) Don’t just say “I’m pretty ADD.” Actually dig into it so you can get clarity. Put a Ned Hallowell audiobook on and go for a walk in the woods and think if it really resonates for you. 2) If it does, take ownership. You wouldn’t let your equipment be unmaintained. So, if you have an ADHD brain, thats the equipment you’ve got and you need to take ownership of maintaining it. 3) Set up structure to work for you, even if it looks silly. Maybe hire a personal assistant. 4) Talk to a psychiatrist. Medication is genuinely effective and transformative in managing ADHD. Properly-dosed medication is waaay safer than self-medicating with cocaine. You’ve got an uphill battle because of the history of addiction, so a psych will probably start with Strattera, which is non-addicting. But you’ve fought uphill battles before. The key to this one isn’t willpower, its logistics. Its setting the right systems. If that means hiring a secretary to hold your supply of dexamfetamine and give you one dose at a time during titration: do that. 5) Don’t look for a lover to be your secretary. No. Two separate roles. You wouldn’t want to date someone who tries to mother you.

And later i found Jesus Christ so he fixed my highlevel energy. Not focusing at all but now into almost normal focus with no need of much exercise torturing, controlable overthinking and got clearer mind, no impulses of wanting material things, fasting of everyting that causes addiction with no problem not just food but internet games, women, adrenalin, dopamine.

Jody just like competing or getting “stage ready” with building your body. If you want to become 💯 focused again you have to build that “muscle” up as well. Good Luck 🍀 and get after it.

Many times we have to re-negotiate our priorities, so getting stuff done, becomes very inefficient. Eventually things get taken care of, but it all of these interruptions can be very frustrating. I always had better grades when I was playing a sport, and the off season grades were not so good. WTF....just want to take care of business!

I agree; I also think that some people are more "parallel" task masters (as opposed to sequential task masters). Meaning: they'd have to do a lot of DIFFERENT things to the best of their ability, rather than zap their energy on a single task for prolonged periods of time. I mean, at least, this is how my ADD tends to work --

It's going to take some exploring, experimenting, and following through to finish (at least once) each experiment to the best of your ability... BUT find a hobby. In fact, find a few. They don't have to be too ambitious. They just have to be skills that challenge you... at least a little bit. It helps if they're something pretty far different from your usual stuff to do... whatever you're studying primarily (like a major in college, or certain certifications for work, etc...) Sure, in decent weather you can still do sports. It's partly the activity that keeps your mind fresh and "rolling". Sometimes, bad weather days stop that business... so an indoor something that helps you focus on "something completely different" from the daily "grind" stuff. I have a ton of indoor qualified hobbies. Whenever I'm at that "repetitive mundane work" grind, I can let my mind break a little to what else I need to think about for a hobby's next project, or the current thing I'm doing as a hobby... like leather-craft. Currently, I'm mostly a carpenter/woodworker. The difference (around here) being a Carpenter frames houses and "roughs in" structures... even "Finishing" the internal trims and making everything "marry up" right... A Woodworker is the guy who builds fine furniture, redresses old furniture, and does those clever looking refinements to otherwise drab furnishings people seem to love to decorate their houses with... It's nice work, if you like it... BUT it's a LOT of repetitive stuff for small things. SO I think about leather... Leather (oddly) is even the roots of how I got into making and repairing, altering clothes, and creating costumes. When I'm not actively DOING this hobby, I'm letting images float through my head that might help with how next I'm going to approach a project in it. I'm thinking about the next design to carve into a belt or applique... or I'm contemplating an easier way to tool and stitch together the inside of a press-formed pouch or purse... That's a bit of a "JORB"... (lolz) Okay, not to get too far into the tangent of leather. Your newfound hand-strength will be nice, though. (lolz) BUT that's the kind of hobby I'm talking about. JUST something completely different that you can get into... and maybe (if it's a craft) you can get something real and tangible out of it. ...AND as a bonus, you can have a new thing constantly rumbling in the back of your mind to clear the "monkey chatter" of distractions away and help you bounce back to what you're doing, where you're at... and even what's important now. ;o)

Finally i watched this after getting distracted 5 times

Exercise in discipline Love it

[@sisyphuseclipse518]

I wonder how Jody's diet, hydration, exercise, sleep, and relationships are like. I think Jocko does a good job of making sure he gets the right fuel and he has quality relationships so he doesn't deal with loneliness much. If Jody has some issues in these categories I think that could be part of the reason he's had issues focusing.
