Habits are the "how", goals are the "what". Goals are supposed to be a starting point, but then one must ask the fundamental question, "Now that I have this goal, HOW do I break this down into things that will achieve that goal". Those habits are the things that will actually result in the goal being achieved.

I work as a data scientist and my team just got offered a single copilot license, i passed it off because I am happy just using my personal claude license from time to time but dont want any autocomplete. My coworker is using it now and he was reporting it is really great and makes him more efficient. Then recently he needed me to find some bug in his code and he ended up screen sharing and coding for like 60 minutes. His whole coding workflow was only prompting in his jupyter notebook. almost no real coding anymore. even doing one liner list comprehensions or writing to a file he prompted the copilot. i was so shocked. He just finished his masters this year and i feel this is just gonna make him decline super hard. Using AI to understand some concepts or let ai write you some simple examples that you can then understand and adapt to your workflow and you really learn way faster and the stuff actually sticks.

Why would using autocomplete when writing code to write to a file have an impact on your capacities as a developer? At the end of the day, if you ship efficient readable, bug free code at a reasonable time, who cares how the process of writing it looked like. I use AI a lot when coding too. Currently making a Django application for work. I am very strict on making beautiful code (try my best) cover all edge cases and obviously prevent bugs. I will admit, I some of the syntax for eg opening a json file I still don't know perfectly because I just never need to type it out completely.

That is almost exactly my resolution from 2024. I got myself a planner, specifically a planner that had sections for quarterly goals, monthley goals, and space to reflect about my progress the prior month. I did this planner exercise specifically to help me trim out a lot of the cheap dopamine activities that would suck up my free time and drain me of any motivation (like midless instagram scrolling, shorts scrolling, and mindless reddit). The act of writing my thoughts and plans down changed hiw I approached my free time and helped me improve this past year way more than any other year in my life. I of course wasn't perfect about it all year, so now this year my resolution is to keep it up and improve just a little more than last year. Great resolution, that change in thinking is exactly what I needed and I think it would help you out as well.

Routines are great, and I know people often think discipline and routines go hand in hand, but personally I think discipline is so much more. I see it as the willingness of force yourself to do things, if that makes sense. Sometimes new things just come up out of the blue, and you need to do it once and now. Routines can in fact even be harmful in this sense, for example if you are very comfortable in your current job / routines but you'd like to setup a company. Having good base routines are of course always useful, like washing your teeth, going to gym, etc.

Thank you for making such a great example, MrPrimeagen. You'll impact so many people by working hard and building this mindset. Your observation about the january gym person combine well with my own thought: they're being driven only as long as their motivation lasts. But motivation is a fickle mistress and so is inspiration. I've found great luck by making things I wanna do a habit and reaching for discipline when I'm falling out of said habit. Motivation and inspiration help me surpass my limits momentarily, and lately I've started reminding myself to feel grateful for each day I've already been including goals in my diary and found satisfactory success with it. Both types of goals, the "goal as the end" and "goal as the means". I wish you, your family and anyone reading this comment all the best and Happy New Years

Also consider an unstructured day like Sunday where you plan to have no lists or goals. Just wake up, live and be with fam. Rest & Power Up times make the week stronk. Happy New Year-agen 🎉

The problem with setting goals for the whole year is underestimating the longness of the year and things that go in the way. Keep it simple :D. But... be realistic with yourself. Goals are fine, but.. life lived goes longer mile. Now.. not waking up in 5am... I guess sleeping till 8-9am is perfectly fine. I guess, if you do what you need to do in the evening, well, that's the price. Like me working tonight because I've done nothing during the day. Have I woke up at 8am today... maybe I might have done something more, but.. who knows. I try not to beat myself up for not keeping up to the pressure. I run a small business, and most of the stress is a direct result of lack of discipline. That is, have I done what needed to be done, in time, it would be much less stressful. So... being "lazy" is really a major stressor, especially if you need to keep up. On the other hand, one has to know his limits. Going either way to extremes will result only in more stress, and eventually burnout.

Sounds similar to a goal achieving strategy I’ve been using past few months of having 6-week focuses. The goals within the focus are to do the actions you believe will result in moving towards your more abstract life goals. Like 1hr stretch everyday, 3hrs on project A 5 days a week, 4 1hr swims per week, etc. The actions are controllable, how fast you progress or how lucky/unlucky you are is not, so achievement goals are not included themselves.

One quick advice I do have that helped me a LOT is get an Elliptical bike set it near where you watch anything like TV, KZbin or Twitch, and do at least 30 minutes to and hour everyday. Your stress levels go way down, as you actually unwind, and you can just get to it right away instead of thinking you need to go anywhere else. At first you won't be starting with 30 minutes, just do 5 each day or how much you feel it's good for you but stick with it. I'm doing it for a few years now and not only I lost like 20/30 pounds but I do feel way, way better overall. That being said, I really appreciate your kind words and help wish you nothing but Peace and Love!

The issue with the approach you are taking in my opinion (and my personal experience) is the fact that goals matter less than processes. The goals is the thing you want to achieve, but you need to have good processes to get there are the once that get you there. Evironment influences you a lot, I was way less likely to lay down on my coach when I started to work in a separate room. A lot of these idea are from the Atomic Habbits book. It worked for me

I feel the exact same way about discipline, I started my channel during my final year of University, for a while after that I was able to keep everything in line but as of late I've certainly been letting things slip, sleeping in way past when I should be, staying up way too late, putting things off when they could be done now.

Can relate to this so much!.I'm almost through with Angela Yu's Fullstack web dev course and I decided my New Year's resolution is to get Quality Sleep. That's it!. I believe this would yield compounding results. My goal is to land a dev job in 2025. I know I'll be back to write that landed one!.

I can really resonate with this video. When I started working from home everyday I lost that discipline to get up early and prep for my day. I am hoping to regain some of that lost discipline this year too. Keep up the great videos.

I'm working on this with my therapist. It all starts with a good routine for the most basic things, and by basic I mean human basic needs like consistant sleep. Then building on that routine from there has been much easier.

I switched to an open source, fully remote project with no fixed goals or schedule two years ago. I have exactly the same struggles. The pressure you have to put on yourself to maintain a schedule under no pressure is paradoxically stressful.

There’s this song with great lyrics that I’ve paraphrased a bit: We fall when our life stops being a daily stream. Life’s hygiene is so, so important-whether you’re working or not, whether it’s remote or on place. I took a break after 10 years as a programmer and became a driver for six months. I came back refreshed, and I’ve stayed fresh for the next 10 years.

One useful thing if you have trouble following through with certain things, is to come up with concrete tasks, but also to make sure they're easy or simple enough that you can't fail. And also tie them to habits if possible. Over time this removes mental friction and makes it so you don't even need discipline, or at the very least need much less. It literally rewires your brain. But it does take time, and that part is important to keep in mind. Consistency is key.

this was exactly my story, with just low budget. I was barista, I was craving to resign and work hard on programming again, I resigned and I struggle mentally to code. It was crazy hard for me and tiring to be a barista(can't find job in tech, applied so many), I had to wake up, go no matter what. But now, I can't code like that. But I'll fix it hopefully. Call this just an episode.

Im with you on this one, my goal this year is FOCUS. I have a tendency to take on too much all at once, leaving me with little progress in many areas. Most of these areas are not so important to my overall personal and career goals. This year I build my focus and discipline by picking 1-3 skills and traits that are most impactful to my life, while saying no to most everything else. I give myself permission to switch my focus every once in a while to spice things up, but I will not get lost in it, not in 2025.

Heavy hitter hits with precisely the hit I feel I need to be hit with but also at the same time I feel able and motivated to join arm strengh with said heavy hitter so we can hit the proper thing we need to hit. I dont know why I write that. Thank you Prime agent for building me the strengh to leave a bad work environment but mostly inspiring me ever since this very year to take back Confidence & Control under this Tiberian Sun

I switched to paper notes too! the only reason was that my reflection / planning window was always late at night and the blue light was messing up my sleep. love the features of digital notes but not worth it. Good luck! your goal is impossible to fail at. you cannot get worse at discipline by cultivating it!

It's so weird that this is always the same feeling. I heard this the first time from Ali Abdal. He was a literal Doctor and a part-time youtuber. He quit being a Doctor to go on KZbin full-time and weirdly, he performed less with KZbin full-time compared to when he was doing it part-time.

Honestly, there are some dumb, very simple things, that can help. I noticed that, while going to the gym the whole week and resting on the weekends made getting back to it the next week harder, so I just stopped going to the gym on monday, instead I rest friday and monday, but still train saturday and sunday. It's been over four years and I've managed to build this discipline over time. You really have to just try things and adapt in a way that gives you a sense of development and pleasure while you are doing it, after some time it will become natural.

Do not forget Prime that even if you fail with some of those items in the list you can always retry. Failing, thinking what went wrong, and trying again, and repeat is the function of learning.

I made a similar comment. I'm thinking of having multiple timers (buckets) for things and when that bucket is empty move on to something more productive. Then add a couple of Pomodoro timers when I'm actually working to stay focused. Time can be the enemy or Time can be an ally

Maybe you could make some sort of app that allows you to put things you want to do in a list. I don’t think that’s ever been done before! It would look great on your resume.

I have a similar experience, I left my job around may last year and at first I thought I was going to get a nice rest to refresh for a couple of months and get back to business with some personal projects and learning new stuff... 7 months later and I have some interesting ideas, but none of the discipline to even start... It seems to be a common thing though, I have friends on a similar state of not being able to create a healthy routine and feeling kind of stuck... I can relate to your plans for this year 😁, crossing all my fingers for it to go good enough for everyone going through something similar and wanting to make a change 🙌
