There actually is a 5-second-rule that is related to this (somewhat). If you're trying to wake up early but you've developed a habit of sleeping in because beds are just too damn comfy, count down from 5 and jump out of bed. You'd have to do a bit research into the nuerochemistry of why this works but it works EVERY TIME! Just an idea if you actually do want to make a series of this XD

I recently learned that I have bad anxiety, and it has got to the point where I can not find the energy to start anything whatsoever. Not even getting up to drink water when thirsty. This video came in at the perfect time. I'm gonna write "5 minute rule" on a sticky note to keep reminding myself of it. So far, in the past 10 minutes, I've done 2 things. That's 2 more things than I did in the past 4 days. Thanks Matt!

[@SilverHawk214]

Yes! Mine get's so bad that not only will I NOT get myself a glass of water but I will pull my eyelashes and eyebrows out. What works best is to just tell myself to stand up and lunge in place for a bit or stand on one leg for as long as I can. Then I can grab some water because I'm already up.

You're on the right track, Ahmed! The five-minute rule is actually also an amazing cognitive behavioral therapy principle to boost feelings of accomplishment and overcome avoidance especially in people with anxiety and depression. I've been using it for a few years and it has changed my life. Keep going, you got this!! 💪

Just employing this 5 minute rule for today made me feel like I've accomplished a lot, even though I do most of the things I do on a daily basis anyway. It always helps to understand the benefits it can have and to be conscious of them for maximum efficacy! Thanks again for your lovely reply, it definitely made my day!

[@james4727]

A really important extra note - Use the 5-minute rule not to trick yourself into doing more work, otherwise you will just see it as the big scary task. Genuinely let yourself leave the task after 5 minutes if you want to, otherwise, you won't use the technique and make doing that task a long term habit.

[@WarfareJournal]

This is the most important part! Committing to 5 minutes but with guilt-free abandonment fully on the cards. This worked when I was trying to get myself to exercise. Getting my shoes on and out the door was the hardest part, so once I'd started it didn't seem to be too bad to continue. But if I turned back early I called it a win.

Sort of related: pomodoro timers never worked for me until I actually took the 5 minute break after going steady for 25 minutes.

@@WarfareJournal exactly. It's only 5 minutes unless we FEEL like continuing. The wonderful part is that we usually do feel like continuing after starting, but that seems too good to the brain BEFORE starting. Starting is where the transformation happens and until then, we need to meet our brain where it's at.

[@modernteenageinvestor]

Short summary of the video that you can paste in your notes. The 5 minute rule: If you want to stop procrastinating and actually get started on a big project/anything else that you are intimidated to do, set a 5 minute timer and work on that project. Once the time is up you can do whatever you want tho chances are high that you will want to finish the whole project because you already surpassed your comfort zone, which is the hardest part.

[@TravelingwithKristin]

Another super effective productivity hack is to say out loud what you’re about to do. Somehow articulating it makes it clearer, more tangible, easier to start (which is the hardest part).

[@RealJamieBarclay]

Here are the 2 reasons you've found yourself procrastinating your whole life. 1) You're not doing something you naturally enjoy and you naturally find yourself working at. If you have to force it, you'll eventually procrastinate no matter how disciplined. 2) You have subconscious fears of failure/judgement. You won't work on that essay or on your work if you're associating your value with the quality of the end result. Therefore, procrastinating will give you a scapegoat.

[@Kevin-it4fh]

Well for the first part, a lot of greater stuff you want to get involves doing stuff that you don't really want to do... For me, that's studying...

[@murselogluarda]

In fact, if you think about it, our brain is our everything. The information we receive while watching this video is stored in our brains. So, logically, I can say that I will give 5 minutes to myself or my work, but my brain already knows that it will not be 5 minutes. This can create a feeling of procrastination again (I don't have a problem with procrastination, I can do something directly, but I'm just theorizing lol) In short, we don't need to create such "5 minutes" rules for ourselves because it's probably a short-term thing (which might actually work for some people). The important thing is to think well and understand what we want in life. To understand what we need to do for what we want and what it entails. In this way, even when you are not motivated, you will be able to continue because you know your wishes. By the way, great video Matt!

[@sophie.kompaniiets]

Another great 5-minutes rule to be productive - do all the things that take less than 5 minutes in the moment, instead of planning them for the future. Just do them. All you need is to ask yourself: “Can I finish it in five minutes?” If the answer is yes - just do it! It will significantly reduce pressure on your brain!

[@kuhmpashun]

I think a big problem with “procrastination” or “not having the energy” to do something is that our worlds have become incredibly comfortable (evolutionarily speaking). There must be a bigger consequence to NOT acting than there is the reward of acting. Yet, we are often confused on our risk/benefit analysis. So we THINK sitting on the couch is more rewarding than going to the gym. Either way, the threat of something greater or more beneficial isn’t there when our lives are super comfy. 100 years ago if you didn’t get off your ass and tend your farm, you died. Pretty big motivator. Now if you don’t get off your ass and cook a meal, there’s always uber eats.

[@KraftyDinosaur]

I feel like that if the point of the 5 minute rule is to "trick your brain" into doing hard work, your brain is going to associate the rule with doing hard work and naturally feel resistance to it. I feel like a better idea is to define a specific small task to complete that will actually advance you forward. If you still feel resistance to completing the task, you can make it simpler. The idea is that as long as you complete the task, you have made progress. I find that just working on something for 5 minutes often results in no actual progress being made, and my brain isn't usually tricked into working longer if I even manage to start the 5 minutes. An actual defined task has much more motivation associated with it. Though of course if the 5 minute rule works for you that's fine too 😅

Having monitored my portfolio performance which has made a jaw dropping $370k from just the past two quarters alone, I have learned why experienced traders make enormous returns from the seemingly unknown market.

Interesting. I have a lump sum doing absolutely nothing at all in my bank account, I wanna get something started with it. You seem to be doing excellent for yourself, how do you achieve this?

@Owen Watson jr Am trading with expert Mrs Mitchell Roland, a regulated broker in the US. Met her sometime early last year at a startup funding event. She had some interesting things to say about the state of algorithmic trading today.very obviously I'm seeing the results.

@Owen Watson jr My money stays right in my trading account, my account just mirrors her trades in real-time.that's the idea behind copy trading.

Top- notch film making, extensive research and the simplest ways of explanation and presentation are the reasons why Matt will always be the OG!

I love this! I actually developed a system of once a day, picking two rooms and spending three minutes on each room for a total of 6 minutes! I call it the 1,2,3 Simplicity Method (inspired by James Clear's Atomic Habits)! I've shared it with friends who found it useful as a good jumping off point to develop this habit of tidying their homes! Thank you for sharing this video!

[@canadude6401]

great...now I procrastinate setting the 5 minute timer! All joking aside, this is great advice. I find developing an unbreakable habit works well. I've use that habit for my daily morning walk and meditation. No matter what, that alarm goes off at 5:20am, I get out of bed, change and get walking. even in the pouring rain, I don't falter. I also took a page from Einstein and Steve Jobs with not wasting brain power deciding on what to wear. I spun it towards lunch instead of clothes. I have been eating a smoothie every day for about 3 years and pack a salad for lunch for 7 years now. Call it boring, but it saves my brain power for more important things.

It works! I wanted to watch this video for just 5 minutes, but I ended up watching the entire video 😂

[@davidlarsson5709]

Perfect video at the perfect time. I've done this before and is the only way for me to get shit done. Thanks for this Matt, excited to start crushing things again, your videos never disappoint 🙏🙏🙏

[@benvgb]

Great video once again ! Loved every second of it! You pushed me to start my KZbin journey so thanks for the inspiration !

[@mikaylafunck9821]

Good morning! I've been useing a timer for studying and cleaning for as long what I can remember. The best decision for productivity!

[@LadyTracyOfTheDisk]

I agree with the other comments about being willing to keep your bargain with yourself. I think that if you do that, you might be far more willing to come back and work more on the project. You can pat yourself on the back for the five or however many minutes you did, or you can beat yourself up for not doing the whole thing. I think that positive self-talk gets you more in the end than being harsh.

[@dianamusic247]

Man, your videos are on the other level. 😂 I am blown away how far you have come. I love them. ❤

[@caylavanberkel_]

what a cool video Matt !!!! definitely going to use this rule!!!

[@DerrickOlivier]

This is perfect timing. And yes, it is an almost offensively simple solution. Thanks, Matt!

I've been looking up productivity today and I'm so glad you uploaded the video, it always appears to come at the perfect time!

[@Coffeeandmorecoffeeplease]

Matt, I freakin love you!! you made this video at literally the most perfect timing as I was just giving up on studying. I've spent the last two hours just staring and contemplating at my textbook and homework. I'm going to try this out right now thank you!!
