being productive is easy, actually

To learn more than ever from important non-fiction books, join me on Shortform: shortform.com/easyactually. You'll get a 5-day free trial and a discounted annual subscription. One of my favorite books on Shortform is Feel-Good Productivity by Ali Abdaal -- I recommend it!
In a world where there's 3 billion productivity techniques, I figured that if you just take one philosophy and apply it everywhere, it's more effective than taking 50 different techniques and forgetting all of them instantly.

    To be frank, South Korea is kinda on a Dystopian speedrun when it comes to forcing their children to study and get to a good school and university at any cost. The amount of pressure these children go through, isn't all that related to "Motivation" and "Drive", but rather to live upto the insane expectation their family and academia have from the students. They have to study even with less sleep, through sickness because that's the overall culture that's been formed in the schools. The children burns out, the private schools and private coaching centers (which they attend after finishing school in the evening) keep making money. South Korea has probably the highest rate of Suicide amongst it's young population (School and College students and young people in general). Being disciplined is fine and desire to change your life for better is very good. But let's not overdo it to the point that being insanely disciplined even at the cost of being crazy becomes the social norm in schools and workplaces. Nothing good is gonna come out of it. Well, we are already quite close to that speedrun in the US compared to other countries in Europe.

Also, the cutting into sleeping hours is indeed essential if you need extra time, but I've found it's hard to do if you have poor sleep the night before, like I consistently do, so another way of doing it is sleeping for a bit and getting up really early. Just make sure you don't fall back asleep and waste like 3 and a half hours you could've used, speaking from experience lol.

    I was thinking about the reasons why I can't selp-discipline myself and do the things I desire the most. I was trying to figure out what motivates me, what discourages me, when I am most invested in my work etc. This video was like godsend to me. I really appreciate the work you do. Thank you so much.

    1:48 It's worth noting that this isn't true by itself. In fact, we're facing a crisis where people doing lots of work is causing depression --- the polar opposite of motivation. You need to have some sort of reward for the work, whether emotional or otherwise (such as knowledge you're getting closer to a goal you really care about). You also need a sort of "fear" for what would happen if you don't do the work. I've found that this is why it's so easy to be addicted to social media. I knew it made me dopamine to see videos, so in a sense I have that reward even when the video just makes me angry. But it wasn't until I took a nearly whole day's step back and realised there was also a lot of fear of missing out, especially with politics.

I get so stressed out with the what-ifs I often delay myself from working as hard as I should. Your channel is an inspiration, from the quirky yet simple art style to the catchy titles and down to earth explanations. The fact that you’ve done this all in less than a year is amazing, you even have a sponsorship! I hope with enough time I can get to that point too, in my own way. Cheers 🍻

    One of the best pieces of advice I have used is a done list. This is helpful to me because I like to use notion, an online platform, to organize my schoolwork. Since I don't have the tangible feeling of crossing it out on paper, i can click the box and drag it to the done list side. It's so nice to see your to do list get shorter and your done list get longer. But the biggest thing is to just do it. It can be anything, the task can be as small as you need since it will help you build up.

  • @shelovesdanii1470

    Motivation won't get you anywhere. It's a temporary feeling that can make you productive for a short period of time, but once that motivation is gone, you'll just slack off and do nothing. You need the discipline to do things when you're least motivated, regardless of how you feel. This is just plain generic advice you're giving that won't really help people in the long-term. I'm not saying you have to ignore your feelings when you have to do important work to do, no matter how you feel, but there will be moments in your life, most of the time, when you just can't afford to run your life according to your level of motivation. You just have to do things whether you're motivated or not and once you're not motivated you're going to go downhill because you've got nothing to stand on as you were dependent on your motivation/feelings, unlike when you're disciplined because it's always beneficial even in the worst of times when it really matters. It's not like people should go to the gym or exercise depending on how motivated they are. When it's time to exercise, even if you don't feel like it (there will be many days and most days you won't feel like going to the gym because it's difficult), it's even more important to go and start because it will rewire you to be more disciplined despite having no motivation. It will always lead to something positive in all aspects of your life.

    You are not entirely wrong, but you also don't contradict whatever is said in the video. I will, however, disagree that motivation is not important. Doing things with no motivation will just cause you to burn out. It is indeed important to sometimes bite the bullet and force yourself to work in order to get the motivation and start the cycle talked about in the video. If you have no motivation - do work to get it and motivate yourself by telling yourself why you want to do it. This is literally said in the video.

    My cycle looked different: Work -> anxiety -> distraction -> more anxiety -> more distraction etc. rinse and repeat for a few years and you'll end up with depression. I am thankful that I actually figured out that there was something wrong with me and that I got help even though it took me way longer to reach out for help than I would have liked. What actually helped me was to start being honest with myself. I now track how much I actually do and use two to do lists. One for the easy tasks and one for the hard tasks so that whenever I lack the motivation to do the hard tasks I can just go to the easy tasks and do those. Sure, I won't ever do all my hard tasks but I will do a lot more than nothing.
