Here are the 5 things in my 15 minute daily ritual (go to description for links): 1. Make coffee. 2. Write out 1 to 3 most important tasks. 3. Find solitude (aka self-isolate while self-isolating 😂). 4. Headphones + Lo-Fi Beats/Deep Focus Playlist. 5. Eliminate distractions by using Freedom App + Deleting Social Apps before work.

I would like to share what I do, in case someone finds it interesting: - The day before, plan what you want to do and be realsitic, leave room for failure (example: study 5 units, but doing 3 is fine) - Wake up at the same hour everyday. It doesn't have to be very early, just the same, to build a habit and a sense of purpose. - Identify what you like, and use it as a reward. If you are binge watching a series that you like very much, try to earn the joy of watching it. This is important so as to not fall in a pit of guilt and malaise, where nothing makes you happy. You can for example start by dedicating 30 min of work (maybe with a Pomodoro and relaxing music) and then playing 30 min of Animal Crossing. This makes you enjoy your relaxing times, and not feel guilty. As time goes by, you can maybe dedicate the whole morning to work and the evenings to yourself. - Set your space as you like. This is obvious, but very important. Have a shower and get dressed, don't be with your pijama all day, ventilate your room, do your bed, free your desk from papers and clothes and THEN sit down on your desk. Turn your phone off or put it in another room. And just start doing work. Just starting is a huge step because it breaks the ice, you find that it is not as horrible as your brain put it in advance, and just do as much as you can. Sitting in your chair instead of laying in bed makes it easier, trust me. - Find ways to enter the flow state: if your house is not quiet, try to put soft music in the background (Sunday Study music playlist by Thom Frank, Lo-Fi streaming, classical music...), ambience videos (rain, white noise, library ambience, coffee shop ambience, etc.) or even no talking asmr. If you use the music that you like, chances are that you will get distracted by singing the lyrics or by a catchy part of the song, but you do you. Hopefully someone finds any of these points worth reading. Keep going.

We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon - instead of enjoying the roses blooming outside our windows today.” - Dale Carnegie 5- “Procrastination is opportunity’s natural assassin.” - Victor Kiam 6- “Begin doing what you want to do now. We are not living in eternity. We have only this moment, sparkling like a star in our hand, and melting like a snowflake.” - Francis Bacon 7- “A year from now you may wish you had started today.” - Karen Lamb 8- “There is nothing so fatal to character as half-finished tasks.” - David Lloyd George

@Sarah Bailey Yep there's some truth to that as well. It's basically more about not being a Reactionary and just jumping into things without thinking and analyzing. It's about the wisdom to know where to invest our time & energy, and where not to. On the other hand, if someone is putting things off only because of laziness or misaligned priorities, then that might not serve them well and he/she might lose a lot of great opportunities.

When quiting coffee, having a hot tea is a good substitute for the making of the coffee as well as having a warm drink. It is not a replacement for coffee, just the action. I found this very helpful when I was quitting coffee. I eventually went back to decaf, because if I miss 1 day of regular=headaches, I.Hate.Headaches! I have a 30 day challenge for you: replacing curse/cuss words with other descriptive and enhancing language that can be repeated to a child.

I relied on prayer and learning to just not speak: maybe you've heard: if you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything. There is also the proverb, a foolish man uttereth all his mind, but a wise man keepeth it in til afterward. Occasionally a "oh, poopies" or "boogers" comes out, but it's a far cry from cussing.

Meh, now you just have to define "resistance" instead. The more useful definition of procrastination, is that it's is your minds' solution to a problem, and that problem is usually some negative emotions that you want to avoid. You have to find out what you are avoiding (often fears of failing, or maybe your task isn't well-defined so you don't know what progress will actually look like). When you find out what negative emotions you are avoiding, you can implement an actual solution. Procrastination is NOT a problem - it's a solution to a problem you haven't discovered or identified yet.

Love this! I'd like to share some tips I use as well for fighting procrastination: 1. Focusing on completing tasks rather than postponing them to better take advantage of your free time. 2. Spend some of your free time on activities that guarantee value and personal growth 3. Identify your Bermuda triangle (3 social media accounts you spend most time on) to understand how your time is spent. 4. Make a simple To-Do-List to track your various tasks, to avoid forgetting and accumulating unexpected work - as well as completing them one by one. 5. If things still aren’t going as well as they might, make a schedule to properly manage your time and keep yourself structured and organised. 6. Distinguish and separate when you use time for work, free time & free time with added value and growth. 7. Use some free time to produce (create anything that's completely your own: a paper, a video, an audio, painting...) rather than consume. 8. Find a passion to develop and don’t worry if it changes overtime.

GoldBlockCareer Podcast really good ☝️

thank you so much for your video and your channel is one of the biggest inspiration for me I have found on youtube. You are a very big rolemodel to me.

You did and AMAZING job with the front of your haircut Matt. I noticed in the beginning and was really excited for you when you said at the end that you did it yourself. Great job!

Seriously Matt... thanks for introducing me to the world of minimalism. You made it very accessible for someone like me because you’re a relatable, everyday guy and not someone that goes to the extreme and makes it look like a hippie movement. We need more people like you. You’ve also very much inspired a parody video I just released which is a parody on minimalism because it’s sad to see how the real message of the movement gets misinterpreted... (I hope you don’t mind me having used a few seconds of your footage, but you just had to be in it 🤭) Thanks for everything!

When you said Cat and Cloud, my heart JUMPED! Such a cool little place, so cool to hear you say a familiar name. Thanks for another incredible video, Matt!

I love the way you cut your hair and your youtube content, I can't say thank you enough how your content had influenced my lifestyle and mentality! I love ya!

Hey Matt, I'm French and your videos are not only interesting for what you say but they are so because you speak very quietly, every word is easy to catch, there are subtitles, ... It's really enjoyable when english isn't our maternal language, so thank you !! I wanted to tell it to you after tens of videos I've seen from you. :)

My motivation has been absolute s*it, this outbreak has helped me realize that I am more undisciplined and unmotivated then I previously thought. Sure I get motivated and do shit for one or two days, but then I just fall back off and burn out so easily. It's a God dam mess

I read a great article: instead of having a “to-do” list, have a “done/completed” list, that way when you write down a completed task you can cross or tick it off straight away. At the end of the day you will feel accomplished as you now have a list of fully completed tasks 👍

15DollarFit im a to do list junkie and i have done a lot of technic in updating my to do list..using reminder apps,excel,word etc. But now i’ve been using this technique where i keep my to do list by date in ms word (the details one), then i update it in handwritten to do list (every task should take about 3-5 words only). The idea is to immediately trigger u what to do rather than digesting the long sentence on what u supposed to do.so shifting between task is very smooth and made easy. Just few second glance then u know what to do next already. Owh if u got 10 or more things to do, u can prioritize by ticking top 3 next to your list. Once finish,erase the tick n start ticking other until u finish striking through all task/ things to do. So yeah, handwritten to do list really help.

When you’re so early you beat Matt’s comment again lmao
