Yeah, this isn't really a video for beginner productivity. To initially get into the flow state in a professional field, you'd need to have amassed thousands of hours learning and toiling at getting better. Only at the end of an endeavour do you get to flow reliably and only in space situations can you flow at an amateur level. We've all had a spontaneously good performance seemingly randomly even though you've hardly practiced but the little practice is necessary.

1. Tie your outcome to a clear goal. 2. Pre-set the target and schedule it beforehand. 3. Clear the load using active recovery. (Go to bed deaf, blind, cold, hungry for 7-9 hours) 4. Do decision-making tasks the day before(clothes, food, etc.) 5. Wrap up all lose ends the day before. Texts, emails, calls, meetings, etc. 6. Organize your workspace beforehand. 7. Pause all life maintenance load - cooking, cleaning, laundry etc - outsource or do beforehand or save for later. Tell all your relatives you are disappearing for the day. 8. Turn off distractions - phone, use app blockers on PC. 9. Make self-distraction impossible. No distracting thoughts. If they come, not them down and forget them for the time. 10. Stack flow-blocks together. 11. Wake up in flow and dive into highest priority task right away. No morning routine. 11. Treat each flow block as an event, like a battle. It should have a trigger -like closing the door, wearing an earphone, sipping a coffee, after which you attack. 12. Cement the commitment. Don't let its specialness erode. It should be different from every other day in your life. Make it holy and sacrosanct. Keep a higher consequence environment. Use rewards. 13. Have an hour by hour schedule. Have enough long breaks. But do nothing else during the breaks. Just relax. 14. Fisrt three hours work. Then one hour non-stimulating recovery. Meditate, yoga, shower, no food here except sugarless coffee. 15. 3 more hours of flow followed by another 1hr recovery. Nap, walk, stretching, very light food 16. 2 more hours of flow followed by 2 hours of active recovery. Workout, big nap, massage, etc. 17. Then 3 more hours of flow. Reward yourself. Done.

Thanks. Sounds a similar to my way of getting something done. I focus on what my accomplishment or goal is the night before. I make bullet points as I brainstorm. Since it’s the night before, I have no pressure other than to brainstorm what I want to accomplish in bite sized tasks. The simple act of making bullet points allows me to tackle the task the next day without having to go into creative thinking mode - which is a context switch from my typical problem solving mode.

You gotta prepare since the first day, with full focus, or else you ain't gonna be any topper. Saying from experience.

Here's why you came to this video: 5:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. - Flow Block One: This is your prime time for productivity. Focus on carefully targeted tasks and push past any initial struggles. 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. - Non-stimulating Recovery: Take a longer break to replenish cognitive resources. Engage in activities like meditation or yoga. 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. - Flow Block Two: Jump into another three hours of intense focus. 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. - Non-stimulating Recovery: Take a nap, go for a walk, or do some stretching to recharge. 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. - Flow Block Three: Dive back into flow, but be mindful of potential afternoon energy slumps. 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. - Active Recovery: Engage in deeper restoration activities like taking a bath or doing a workout. 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. - Flow Block Four: Approach these last three hours with determination and finish the day strong. 8:00 p.m. onwards - Recover and Relax: Enjoy the satisfaction of a productive day and embrace the flow afterglow. The one-month day can be run in different modes: Acceleration Mode: Run it once per month to start your month with an intense surge of output. Turbo Mode: Run it once per week to gain leverage for the rest of the quarter. Light Speed Mode: Run it for five days once per quarter to achieve the impossible. One-Year Month Institute: Run it once a year for a 30-day period of superhuman performance. After properly executing the one-month day, you'll view yourself and life differently, with increased self-confidence and conviction in your ability to execute. Supercharging creativity before, during, and afterward can further enhance the experience.

I call this my "productivity high." As someone who's been in addiction recovery for nearly 12 years, I had to replace my bad addiction (drugs and alcohol) with a more positive addiction, so I chose work. Of course, over the decade, it's gotten into unhealthy territories where I've worked at the expense of other important things. But when I edit a 400-page novel or write 30 articles in a day, I'd feel such a high and my self-esteem surges. Honestly, it's way better than drugs ever could be.

In January, started tracking my time writing down what I did every half hour. The 2.5 hours of focused work per day is about right. A good day was 4 hours and only due to a deadline. You wouldn’t believe how often a meeting/call and an after call discussion takes up about 3-4 hours of a day and then simply starting your day 1/2 hour late or ending 1/2 hour early, 1 hour lunch adds up to 5-10 hours of lost time as well. It’s really opened my eyes to what’s possible if you are in control of your time - and have true goals you want to achieve.

Agree fully. I did a time audit (every 15 min jot down what I did in the last 15 min). The amount of time we waste is ridiculous. I would say anyone who hasn't done a time audit like this, and is under the impression they are effective/efficient, probably has absolutely no idea how much time they are squandering. Now I use a time tracker called Toggl, and each day I try and hit X amount of hours. It's a way to gamify the work. I know that if I don't hit at least 5h of clean tracked time, I've had a sub par day - and then it forces me to reflect on the day. On the contrary, when you log a 8-10 hour day, you feel good. Btw, lunch breaks, any break, coffee, walk, food, none of this is counted. Only time at the computer working counts. Timer stops or is turned back if you waste time doing things you shouldn't be. In this way, 8-10 timed hours on Toggl is worth 10-13 'regular' hours for most other people, if not a lot more.

Update: Thanks for this video!! I planned a little over a week for my One month in a day. I was so excited for it and I crushed it!! I agree with you when you say if you let one distraction in it can topple the rest of the day, I had this occurrence but was able to recover pretty good. I really enjoyed the break sessions as I was able to try to new things. I went from ideation, to planning, design, and implementation all in one day. Having my meals prepared was great, hour by hour planning also really helps. I will say I was extremely tired the next day and kinda out of commission but I want to implement these at least every 2 weeks and maybe every other weekend to focus on building my life outside of my job.

Here's your pop science. 12:00 he cites a study where he says the conclusion is that interrupted work takes longer to finish. Literally the second sentence of the paper: " We found that context does not make a difference but surprisingly, people completed interrupted tasks in less time with no difference in quality." The conclusion drawn is completely different from what he says: "Surprisingly our results show that interrupted work is performed faster. We offer an interpretation. When people are constantly interrupted, they develop a mode of working faster (and writing less) to compensate for the time they know they will lose by being interrupted. Yet working faster with interruptions has its cost: people in the interrupted conditions experienced a higher workload, more stress, higher frustration, more time pressure, and effort. So interrupted work may be done faster, but at a price." All of these content creators are the same. The first few videos were cool, now we have a commodity.Also, fix the autofocus on your b cam and make sure you record in 24 fps. The footage used to look good and now it's hideous.

The closest I do to this is I take myself to a coffee shop to work on a task that I hate or don't want to do. If I try to do it at home, I will just distract myself with anything else. I will work on chores or do come up with the most niche things to do if the task is daunting enough, but I can't make up stuff to do at the coffee shop, and being there puts me in a "I came here to work mindset anyways. I dress up, feel pretty, treat myself to coffee, and make it an event for myself. Problem is sometimes people bring in kids who are loud and make too much noise, hindering concentration. But otherwise it's pretty helpful.

Applied aggressive minimalism WORKED WONDERS, learnt about flow state , started waking up and got straight to work ACHIEVED BEST SCORE OUT OF ME, included outdoor walks and little exercise hit, lost uncessary weight and feeling of boredom, now gonna try this and ik I would definitely be amazed out of myself....

One-month day *Step-by-step Guide* *Step 1: Set a clear goal* Establish a concise and achievable objective for your one-month day *Step 2: Prepare Your Environment* - Embrace Active Regeneration: Prepare mentally and physically by ensuring a state of readiness. - Organize Your Space: Ensure your workspace is prepared the night before, with all distractions removed and necessary tools at hand. *Step 3: Forge Your Focus Zone* - Eliminate the Possibility of Self-Distraction: Create an environment where focus is the only option. - Implement Mindfulness Techniques: Whenever distracted, engage in brief mindfulness practices such as note-taking, deep breathing, or short walks to realign your focus. *Step 4: Layer Your Productivity* - Immediate Engagement: Begin your main tasks within 90 seconds of waking up to capitalize on your fresh mental state. *Step 5: Treat Each Productivity Period as a Significant Event* - Each session should be approached with the seriousness of a mission or event, complete with specific triggers (like a cup of coffee or wearing headphones) to signal its start. *Step 6: Solidify Your Commitment* - Transform your one-day intensive into a personal event, akin to a holiday, where excuses are inadmissible and the environment demands high performance. - Incorporate a Stipulation: Make your commitment tangible, possibly through a financial investment, to enhance the seriousness of the endeavor. *Scheudle* *5am - 8am:* First flow block (start the day in a state of flow). *8am - 9am:* Non-stimulating recovery (consider meditation, yoga, or a cold shower). *9am - 12pm:* Second flow block. *12pm - 1pm:* Non-stimulating recovery (have a meal, take a nap, go for a brief walk, or do some stretching). *1pm - 3pm:* Third flow block. *3pm - 5pm:* Active recovery (nap, exercise, sauna session). *5pm - 8pm:* Fourth flow block. *Post 8pm:* Engage in an active recovery to wind down the day.

Thanks for the effort

From this day on, I consider Sir Rian Doris as one of my teachers. Keep enlightening the paths master.

After watching this I’m now only working 12 days a year. Thank you!

"Never-ending state of almost done". That hit me like a truck

Ive been watching you since a while now and i have to say this has to be the best video ever. Thank you for this!

I had a project once that came up 3 days before i left for a holiday in Greece - it was to build a website that an old colleague shouted me on and wanted me to code. It would have taken a month or so to build and i didn't want to be on holiday stressing my girlfriend with work, but the money was too good to say no. It's incredible because under that pressure i ended up following many of the rules Rian has outlined - I guess the pressure of the job created that high stakes environment, i had previously outlined and made a game plan of the implementation of all the sections and features that were to be implemented, i would smash out a defined small section of work then take a walk around my block priming myself for the next block of work and thinking how to attack it, any problems or trciky parts i would simply take a walk to figure it out, visualising how to fix i. i hit the deadline, and got the stuff over (getting paid was a different challenge though haha)

All the pieces are accurate to my experience. Getting that last block is usually where I decide it can wait until tomorrow because I start second guessing everything I’ve done and need to step away to prevent self sabotage. Usually by 3pm, I have a list of problems that need to be processed overnight.

Recommendation: I see other KZread videos divided up into "chapters" that are easy to jump to in the UI. A video like this that is divided up into a clear set of steps is a prime candidate for that sort of organization. Not sure what tools KZread provides on the creator side for doing that but you should consider it

I remember, I was studying for exams and had a super productive day, where I had my phone turned off the whole time. On the way back home I turned my phone back on and noticed many calls and stressful messages of my flatmates trying to catch me to help them because the kitchen was under water due to water dripping from the ceiling. When I returned everything was fine again 😅

Hey! I just finished my first one month day, and I'm loving the flow after glow! Thanks for the content. It really helped. 🔥

Extremely important information Rian Most of the time till now i had been conditioned by schoolsystem to multitasking never tried to do one work whole day in flow but after listening this i think this is the thing i need the most which can completely change.

This is the most well made productivity video I have ever watched, and it's also very consistent with my own experience. I doubt I'll do a "one month day", at least not any time soon, but I can certainly apply these concepts to get more done overall.

The key steps include: 1. Preparation: Identify a significant, specific task that would normally take a month to complete and plan clear, actionable steps towards achieving it. 2. Optimizing Conditions for Flow: Remove all distractions and create an environment conducive to deep focus. This involves physical, cognitive, and environmental adjustments to maximize flow proneness. 3. Executing the One Month Day: Divide the day into several "flow blocks," periods of intense work separated by short breaks and longer recovery periods. Start the day by immediately diving into work to capitalize on the brain's state between sleep and wakefulness, which is conducive to flow. 4. Recovery: Integrate periods of rest, meditation, exercise, or other non-stimulating activities between work sessions to maintain high levels of productivity throughout the day. 5. Frequency: The "one month day" can be adapted to different schedules, from once a month to a more intensive regime, depending on goals and capacity.

I've watched a few videos on Yt about Flow state but this one is by far the best. Thanks for your Hard work to keep us in Flow

This video was so incredibly intriguing that I watched it three times yesterday. I decided to do a beta version of it today and holy sh*t. I cleared my items that have been on my calendar for MONTHS in the very first two blocks. I’m preparing to do a proper day in a couple of weeks. This video is permanently in my favorites.

watched it twice. might visit back again. u literally solidified my business idea bro. thanks a lot

One of the best and most productive videos i ever saw. Thanks for this high quality video and all the facts that you told us!

This is Gold !!! Thank you so much ! I was able to focus like this sometimes but I did not know the science behind it and had no plan. Now I have !

This is the best clip all categories I’ve seen for years! I just love you man!!

Rian talks 10 min worth of note-taking flow tips in 1 minute..hence proving 270 min worth of content in 27 min video..ooff dude that's a lot but so much needed and useful..thanks mate

Universe (and the algorithm) bought me across this video and I am so happy that it did. So excited to try this.

Fascinating! I was assuming it would be a "push" type of suggestion, not my type of mode, but after watching the entire process and day timetable, it actually sounds very doable, feels exciting - a special in flow, high alignment day. Very appealing. Thank you for sharing! 🙏

Played a video at 1.5 speed. Completed the month work in minutes. 😎

Rian, Im a teacher in the UK (scotland) and also a public speaker. Ive gone through most of your content and I cannot describe how necessary your research is at a highschool level. Particularly in regards to the dopamine systems and how they interact with our working patterns. I would love the chance to speak to you at some point in your, what I imagine to be, busy schedule. Thankyou for the content.

Not sure I agree with the one month day in terms of actual productivity, but the tips you are giving to stay focused are very good. I especially like the tip to write down what you think of doing during your work session instead of letting it distract you, and also I have found that if you wake up early, put some coffee on right away, and hit work before showering for an hour, you can get an incredible amount of work done. I have gotten a days worth of work done in an early morning session, and the rest is cake.

He’s not endorsing it for you to do regularly or everyday, he’s giving this to us so that if we absolutely need to for a deadline or if we have tons of work to do, we can do it on a day or if we planned something special for the weekend. It’s for you to use when necessary or if you want to just get a lot of work done in one day

Finally my favorite content is back! Looking forward to this!! Thanks Rian!

thank you so much. i will use it on full-summer time and become best competitive programmer in my country

I came to the comments to see if anyone pointed this out. He's literally spending days doing all his other normal tasks like food prepping for one day to focus on work. He didn't do a month of work in a day. He just divided his work differently.

If you did this in an office situation, your boss would probably be like "Well done, here's 1 year worth of work, everyone else is fired and you will not be getting a raise 😉"

That’s why you should always be applying for other jobs and making contacts with other potential employers even if you have no intention of leaving. Then you can ask for a raise in that situation and walk away if they don’t give it

I'm literally listening to KZread and not accomplishing much of anything.

I’ve been practicing decreasing cognitive load and I can definitely agree. It makes such a drastic increase in focus

Just tried this a couple of days ago in an attempt to learn the math behind machine learning. It works really well, I learned almost three weeks worth of material in about 6 hours. Some advice I can bring forward is that I cannot underestimate how much of a slippery slope the distractions can get. I told my family to not enter my office, or to acknowledge me within that 24 hour period. Bad news is, I forgot to make lunch, and 5 minutes in the kitchen cascaded into multiple knocks on my home-office door over trivial things that could've been postponed after my one month day. TLDR: Yes it works (at least for me) don't get distracted at all costs.

Rian literally countered all the possible risks of distraction and also immediately offering digestable steps solutions. This is still really daunting to wrap my head around, but I'll come back to this again when I've built up other mechanisms presented by Rian in his other vids.

This is GOLD. I'll be eventually promoting your content.

This is great Ryan. So revealing. I was wondering why some of my days were so much more productive than others. I thought I was weird waking up at 3am and going directly into deep focus work. My dad when we worked as lead scientist did that as well. My personal tip is try this: totally ignore the time - no timers or clocks. Only break in natural fashion only when you’re body signals- Not by the clock timer. Keep going non-stop, where you don’t even remember if you took a break. - until you have reached a DONE milestone.

I watch this video i desides to do it next day wish me luck

One of your best videos! Very informative data, but also the poetic descriptions were captivating. Thanks for putting this together. This is one to take notes on! 😅

Great bit on the scheduling. I'm making my life feel more and more like this just by eliminating certain foods and most social media.

When I was in high school, I never did anything for one particular class, and when the end exams came around I managed to work through all material of 1 year in 13 hours in one day. Was soo exhausting but it was so worth it

what if you're already doing 1 month of work in a day, everyday, and now you want to do 5 years of work in a day now.

FLOW MODE: One Year Month 👑🏆

I find that I find it easier to enter into flow state and get things done faster from between 12 midnight to 6am Its always so much easier then. Ill do this. Thanks for the video💙

Fantastic information. Thank you @Rian Doris! Drowned in administration for regulatory paperwork requirements, this really is useful to increase productivity and apply in the whole team - result reduction in stress

As an interior designer, I’ve been pulling one month days when I have racing anxiety and a dead line so I know it’s possible to achieve, your advice in the recovery are great to avoid burn outs, I’m gonna try this. THANKS ❤

I’ve ruthlessly removed sources of distraction and aim for a few hours of laser focused work daily. It’s becoming a great habit. Much of these tactics can be used daily, even just a 1-2 hour block of isolation, or phone free time helps a ton.

I've been doing the morning flow state for a while. Super productive. Never thought about making a whole day of it... Will try it as opportunity arise.

I tried it, and wow, it feels amazing. Will definitely do it again, and probably again and again.

@RianDoris a thought provoking video. It sounds vey much like hyperfocus. I have thought that the neurobioloy of flow, as described in "The Art of Impossible", sounds very much like hyperfocus (flow requiring high salience network activation, hypofrontality / down regulated PFC, and having the DMN running in parallel, not switched off by the TPN - all very much like the an ADHD brain in hyperfocus). The difference is hyperfocus is most often not planned, it's more often triggered by high demand or consequences (e.g. a deadline or crisis) and/or high interest (i.e. salience). Additionally, thinking that everything needs to be perfect before tackling a task (considered a maladaptive thought leading to procrastination) sounds like an intuitive need for what you mentioned in setting up flow proneness. What is different I think, is that individuals in hyperfocus can maintain sustained focus for several hours without feeling the need for a break. The downside is then needing two days to recover.

I utilised your videos like flow state work space caffeine use and some other also I developed a interst in my work and i am becoming much better than before thanks bro someday definitely i want to meet you love you from india 😎

this video is money! Like i would have paid for this information and break down it was incredible thank you so much for one getting your degree to know all of these things but two sharing what you've learned with us and how to implement it in our own lives! I'm deeply grateful

After writing three kids books back-to-back, my ilea child said, “Dad, I thought you were about to lose your life pushing your brain so much! You look beat up!” It was crazy. Even my blood pressure shot up. I love the flow state, but now I know I have to stoop after a while or cortisol and adrenalin will go bonkers. I notice that my wife was great at hyper-focusing when she was younger. Eight years later, and she burns out after every mental tasks. I try giving more brain foods and less carbs to help her.
