#7 you can expand this by saying: do something outdoor on your own. A lot of people spend some/much time on their own but that alone-time is mostly, if not always, indoors. Going out to a cinema, theater, sports game, concert, even a restaurant or bar, can be done on your own as well. But we usually limit ourselves to doing those things when we're with other people, which is not needed. You can see it as going on a "date" with yourself. It might feel awkward but that's the point.

Areshio Izumi I can relate to the awkwardness you might feel but that’s just because you might be afraid of others looking at you and judging you based on the fact that you’re alone? (This is what happened with me initially, the reason for your awkwardness might be different). But to overcome it, simply carry your favorite book or plug in your earphones and listen to music or an audiobook.. do something that you would do when you’re alone.. I hope this helps! :) Have a good day!

@@smartwater598 it can be a step towards becoming less socially awkward (for those who are socially awkward), or afraid of going out, or afraid of doing something different than usual. The activity itself could be anything, and it's not important what you do. What's important is that you don't make yourself "trapped" at home because "everything in the outside world is scary and awkward" which is untrue.

Awesome Thomas. I like the first habit especially. We go too long without voice to voice communication with our loved ones and friends.

I follow a few productivity gurus n a lot of ideas get redundant I love that you have a fresh take on things.

I love your no nonsense videos. Most youtubers ramble on about their own lives and give us updates... which some people might like but I like it quick and to the point. So thank you! It's so refreshing :)

Great video! I'm glad I have been practicing 6/8 of these recommendations. Thanks Thomas, happy holidays!

I really really love what you’re saying!!!!! Thanks for expanding on the social benefits for many things and also for just being with yourself. Awesome, awesome thank you 😃

thanks for your habit videos I love them there helped me in my life and they are all awesome. Lots los love form germany.

Thank you for this video. It’s very inspiring! Love the lifestyle improvements you post.

Great tips! Another one I would add is to revisit your notes or material you've learned before to induce spaced repetition.

Absolutely love your work Thomas. Please keep em coming.

I like the be the leader one!! The best memories i have with my friends are the ones they planned so i need to step up my game and not just do the same old same old things

Really positive video, great list and advice. Thanks for the tips

this is EXCELLENT advice. Weekly habits are a fantastic topic to discuss and think about, you're quite right! Thank you for your suggestions, I'll practice the ones I don't already

Best habit list I’ve probably ever heard. Very thought provoking and unique. Incorporating even one of these regular habits would be of great value.

Number 7 is what affects me the most lately I guess. I'm with my roommates most of the time and being surrounded by people for a long time just drains me. I don't get to take out time for myself and do the activities I once used to do on a regular basis like reading a book or watching a movie. I feel like I'm not working upto my potential and I'm just degrading mentally and wasting my time. Your videos help me a lot though. I wish you were one of my real life friends Thomas 😂

Great stuff man! So many good ideas, especially about habits for interacting with friends. These were new ideas for me and I think are even more applicable during this whole year of 2020. Keep it up man. What a blessing!

calvin chew It’s written the same way, but pronounced “gaishan” in Mandarin Chinese.

Nice ideas! I'd add "practice being present deeply". Our culture is focused on refining, accomplishing, doing, creating, improving and optimizing, and we loose site experiencing what ever activity is happening in a given moment, and doing this fully and deeply (i.e. eating, walking, talking, listening, showering, cuddling, playing, cleaning, sitting, etc.)

Great video. Really enjoyed your lighting examples.

Thank you!!!! Saving this to my lifestyle playlist!

I love your videos and also the fact that you are really honest with us viewers

I don’t know what made you want to become the man you are but I’m so thankful you became who you are. You are pulling so many people into success and helping them become who they’ve always wanted to be but didn’t know how, including me. So thank you.

You definetly improved a lot on the lighting! Keep up the great work man! Awesome content :D

As soon as you mentioned the first habit, I hit like..... YOU ARE AWESOME....and yes that goes in bold

🥳 I love number 5: you lead a fun activity!! So many time we wait... dont take the initiative! There is a lot more creativity in is than we acknowledge ✨

One of your best videos ever. Simple tips which done over down will make a big difference. 👏👏👏👏

Love these weekly habits, added these! Thanks!

I love the concept of high-density fun! most of my friends don't share this with me though, so I just do fun new stuff without them. Since a few years ago I have started solo travel, surfing, yoga holidays, salsa dancing... I learned a lot about myself, and became better at casual interactions and quickly connecting with new people. I still meet regularly my old friends as we love and support each other no matter what, but I need more novelty in my life than they do.

Thank you so much I really needed your videos The gave the motivation to move forward despite all my flaws and constant failure to change my behavior I fell sincere gratitude toward you once more thank you so much.

Very helpful... the improvement tips are definitely to be put into practice...keep it up!

So helpful Thomas. Thank you

Awesome video I completely agree with you!! Love the ideas they are very helpful thank you 😁

Awesome, this was one video that really gave me value. Time well spent.

Perfect lighting and set-up, Thomas. You are inspiring and amazing. Happy holidays :-)

This was super helpful! And actually really inspiring and invigorating!

Thanks for another great video Thomas! I was wondering where you get all your excellent B roll images? I would also love to see a breakdown of your full notion set up!

Thank you for sharing your knowledge, I enjoyed learning about entropy 🎶

Thank you for all your videos. I've gotten a ton of value from them over the years.

Hey Tom! Great video as usual! I was just wondering if we could have a video on the topic of using visualization to improve focus and motivation, deep work rituals and other things from sports psychology and how they can be applied in other activities like studying. I'm really intrigued by this, especially after reading about Michael Phelps' visualization techniques in Power of Habit.

Thomas this is inspiring. You are on point. I will just need apply and do this.

Great video, Thomas! Can you do an overview at the end of the video? I think it could improve quality of your videos. Thanks!

You're a very motivating guy thanks for continuing to upload

This has been super helpful! Please make a monthly habit list too!

Great job with the videos! Helpful.

It took me so long to figure out a productivity system that I used and updated enough to _trust._ Great tip to go into your system and remove entropy once a week. Thanks!

Hi Thomas! Thanks for another awesome video. Could you do a video about your philosophy on life? Maybe like what values are most important to living a meaningful/productive life (curiousity, consistency, etc.)? I'd love to hear your perspective!

Great video, Thomas; thanks! One more item for improvement: at 10:54 proofread the SRT file. Keep up the good work!

binge watching all the habits and productivity videos all again so it can help me cope with my own procrastination.

Regarding Tip 8, it's not just that "there is always a better way to do something". What may have been "best" last week or last month may not be "best" now or in the future. Review a process weekly as well as your tasks and projects. An acceptable outcome can be "Yes, this is still the best way for me to do this."

#3 is interesting. I’m an organized person, and I love this topic. Can you do a video and expand?

LOVE these recommendations.

Thank you very much I really learn lots of things from your video 🙏 God bless you 🤗

Great video - I agree some habits are set at intervals - weekly habits I enjoy are weekly financial health checkups and family day. Oh can't forget and cheat meal day, typically tied in with girls' night and loaded in my Key Planner habit tracker APP. Love these tips. Thank you for sharing!

Great video man thanks a lot ☺️

Great video Thomas!

Excellent video bro

Omg! This is what I have been looking for!!

Thanks for the"before and after" shot of the lighting differences in your studio.

Great video!!

really like this video... the B-roll part take my attention, didn't know about that

Going to try to do this upcoming week!

Love all your tips!

Only do all-out workouts if you have the time (and energie) to recover. I found this out the hard way

My workout require to focus strictly on form rather than going all out lol..can't really take that advice But we can in the form of "caring about your reps" putting real focus and effort into our workouts daily.

Hey Thomas! I think a great video you should come up with next is “The Best New Year’s Resolutions For 2019”! That would be great!

Good advice!

Great video about weekly habits.

This is exactly what I needed right now.

Was thinking about mowing the lawn and it checks off the all out workout. Yay, dopamine rush.

That is a good list. Thank you

Great video Thomas 👍🏻

awesome, thanks for sharing

Habit #7 really hit home. I need to do the reverse -- i.e. get out the house and be with people. I also need to get back to updating a historical website I created. Major life events have kept me away from it, so NOW is the time. I always sort my articles by date and category. When I sort by category it allows me to work on putting all the links that go together on the same page, then move on to another page's new links. A Real time saver! Thanks for this video. It has shaken me up to make some changes in the coming year.

cooool I'll try incooperating these habits into my life cause it seems like I need some refreshment in my routine. Also, I LOVE your shirt. where'd you get it from ?!

LOL it was so funny when at the end you said smashing your face against the phone screen helps too !

Thanks for the free book Thomas, Feynman would be prouder than a goat on Everest👍 you're an inspiration and anyone who doesn't see that is thick😇

Great tips. Thank you

This video is just what I need Thomas, cheers.

Love number 7, alone time is so valuable

It’s nice to hear someone speaking of doing habits once a week as opposed to every single day. Habits everyday are essential, but at least doing something once a week can mean something different every day 🎶

I love the way you bring comedy into your videos!

Thanks Thomas !

Frank I need you for my daily week reminders 😂❤️

Its always Great to have routine and Stability. So Thank you for this video to show habits on how to Live Full Out

Guess who got the “10 STEPS TO EARNING AWESOME GRADES (while studying less) book by Thomas Frank for Christmas?!?!??!?!???!!! Me! I am so happy. Next year for the spring semester I better DO GOOD!! This book will make it happen. 😂👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

it’s the week before school starts up again and your videos are being recommended to me lol

Using the high performance planner? ya me 2. Great video! :)

I am so glad to finally see someone acknowledge that DDR is a work out! Also super fun!

this applies to everyone in every walk of life. I like that
