PNTV: Procrastinate on Purpose by Rory Vaden (

[@yehudahamaccabi9420]

I like the "Focus Funnel" and saying "No!" As you have stated "Warren Buffet says the difference the successful and super successful is the super successful say "No!" to almost everything!"

[@HeroicBrian]

Yehuda HaMaccabi YES!!

[@MishelFayad]

I loved the idea of the dual response; when you say yes to something random you essentially say no to something important! Great!

[@HeroicBrian]

***** YES! Love that Idea as well!

[@babyfish1083]

Great job as always, Brian. Clear. Succinct. No irrelevant material. Thanks for sharing this with the world.

[@notov8076]

random video to put this on, but Brian just so you know in my daily gratitudes I have begun including your vids and the time you take to make them. I love these videos you're making...you are truly a GOD at what you do, not just pro. You simultaneously manage to a) condense a book into key concepts b) ensure those key concepts are tangible takeaways that I can use immediately and c) you deliver them with an understanding of the audience, and a humbling presence that depicts your own daily practices that D) are delivered with expert-level speech. You are awesome and I am so glad you followed your passion, because it is changing my life.

[@notov8076]

Noto V not to mention your awesome handwriting and the chalkboard setup just looks sick.

[@HeroicBrian]

Noto V Wow. THANK YOU!! What an amazing note. I so appreciate your kind words and generous praise. Big smile. The fun has just begun. LET'S DO THIS!! :)

Brian, I've been on your email list for several months. I honestly have NO idea how I got on your mailing list (Your email just showed up at 1 am the morning after a long timesink online), but I got curious and started reading them. I've been spinning my wheels as a self improvement junkie for years now, but your daily email has given me traction. I'm in the routine of reading your email every morning when I wake up, right after my scripture study, and I've built great habits from what I've learned and your call to action. I now do yoga right after reading your email - something I never gave myself permission to do before, even though I love it. I'm getting up earlier, going to bed earlier, and making sure I get enough sleep. I even started taking naps! Well, more like horizontal meditations since I have only successfully fallen asleep during one once in four months. But it's the attempt that counts. Thank you for your diligence in sending an email every day. You're making a difference! - Sara Bangerter.

[@HeroicBrian]

+Sara Bangerter Wow. Thanks for your note, Sara. I'm happy we're connected (however that happened! :) and I'm THRILLED to be a part of your life. The fun has just begun. Let's do this!! :) -bri

Are you conducting life according to the lunar cycle, because you are changing the times you post videos? I like Jim Loehr's and Tony Schwartz philosophies, concerning time management! Ari Meisel philosophy, concerning doing less is similar to Mr. Vaden! SupercalifragilisticIbesuchadopeguru, you made another great video! That shirt is looking tight, Guru Swole!

[@HeroicBrian]

Yehuda HaMaccabi Laughing. Someone on our team (thanks, Liza!) posts these videos for me! :)

[@yehudahamaccabi9420]

***** Thank you for your reply! I did not know I am waiting for a woman! I am used to waiting for a woman. I have been waiting on my beautiful wife, for almost twenty-one years! Tell Liza, thank you for posting the videos, and "Babygirl, I will wait; not playa hate, and only appreciate, her service to making my life better." Please tell all of your staff, Alexandria, Emerson, and anyone else involved with this organization, words cannot sufficiently express my deep gratitude for their contribution and service, to myself and humanity.

Yehuda HaMaccabi Big smile and big thanks, Yehuda!!! :)

Great video Brian(it's getting boring to say that, but it's the truth, awesome videos!) :D T.V indeed is a waste of time!! Cheers!

I use to see being In traffic was a big time waster but now I don't mind it because I listen to audio books or philosopher notes on my phone.

Leonardo Isidoro That's awesome, Leonardo! (And excited to get a mobile app ready later this year to make it easier to listen to PN + OL stuff on the go!!)

[@euroatomic]

Great review! How would you compare this book to Getting Things Done in terms of achieving ultimate productivity?

[@jamesdown5064]

euroatomic Great question

[@HeroicBrian]

euroatomic +James Down: I think they complement each other nicely! Here are my favorite Ideas from GTD: brianjohnson.me/philosophers-notes/getting-things-done/

[@shaunliambriones3773]

1. What are the five main points by the speaker? 2. What does the speaker mean by “multiply our time”? 3. How can a person “multiply time”? 4. What are the most significant things you can do to move you to your goals?

With eliminating useless stuff, can I keep some leisure time in there? Like a little t.v or?

[@psyenergy1]

I'm talking like 20 minutes of t.v

eat that frog and procrastinate on purpose.... do that right now.... everything else is a distraction.

[@PaulThronson]

I found this by watching TV and now you claim I can unequivocally stop watching TV. Human beings need time to sharpen the saw. Our brains are not digital - they are organic. They need time to recharge. Of course, we all understand that you mean "watching TV" that isn't important but your example could mislead a lot of people to think all time watching TV isn't important. That is absolutely not true. Human beings are visual learners and video is much more effective in many ways of learning and often very important.

[@HeroicBrian]

[@thawlinoo6492]

watching TV is definitely worthless bro unless you set up a specific routine for that, you'll always get addicted to overconsumption

[@PaulThronson]

@@thawlinoo6492 I've worked as a corporate executive for over 30 years and I have never seen anyone at my level that didn't watch TV and who also was addicted, at least as far as my definition of the word. Either "always" is a huge exaggeration or your experiences are much different than mine. Also in my experience, having a discussion with people who casually use words like "always" to describe human behavior is a big red flag.
