Control your environment, work in an empty room with the necessities nearby (water toilet, inspirational poster), work at the same times every day, and let your family know that you need this block of time for isolation on your schedule. Work on the hardest things first, and resolve them before you move on. Take a regularly scheduled break to clear your mind ( I work in 45 minute sprint, then take 10 minutes break to not think).

I went into a bit of a frenzy, pausing your video here and there and going through my kitchen, bathroom, linen closet, 'fridge and so on and purging items that take up my time and provide me with no real value. Food has been a tough thing for me to systemize; although I am not quite to the place of hiring my own chef, I do plan to have groceries delivered and things like toilet paper automatically delivered on a schedule, saving me time and enhancing my productivity. Thanks so much for sharing your insights.

    Really interesting video. You made me realize that I should be planning my meals in a much better way. Right now, I'm intermittent fasting during the week (I am an elementary teacher and I teach in French), so I eat once a day. I started doing that as an experiment, but it turned out to be like the best thing ever! However, when the end of the day come, this is where I sometimes make bad food choice. I'm so tired with all the decisions I had to make during the day that I end up neglecting my health and that is not acceptable. You made me realized that I should plan all my meals for the week (even the month) and stick to it. Thanks!

    Not that anybody needs to give you any advice because your the man! So with much respect. Try intermittent fasting eating only once or two times per day. If done correctly its healthier and you have more energy throughout the day. It’s been an amazing transformation for myself going on two years. It’s actually very sustainable and I spend less on food. I really only think about eating one time a day at dinner. Great new place Sam and this is the best advice because it’s so little nobody notices what it does to them.

    I agree to. Love not having to think about breakfast and feel so much more focused. I used to be a big skeptic

    Training your body to this IF routine will itself take weeks. Stomach Fever is guaranteed in transition phase. People working all day will surely get bad hungry.

    Thanks Sam! Really improves upon my perspective and direction. I was trying to decide between subcontracting, SEO and content creation for social channels and this made me decide that I need to just do SEO for now, subcontracting would only be to outsource my content creation but if I just focus on SEO perhaps I won't need to outsource content stuff down the track and master content and SEO. Then I don't need to subcontract either; one thing at a time, narrow my focus.
