The 1st five minutes of my day determine the entire day. I need to get up and move. None of these things upon waking: sitting, iPhone, news (feeds negativity), staying in pjs. Soon after coffee I put on exercise clothes and take my dogs out for a jog. Any straying from this leads to lethargy and subsequent blues. Following my plan helps me feel well, positive, and happy. Each day is a chance to make you a better version of yourself. No benefits without the work. No matter how you feel…get up, dress up, show up. I try throughout the day to avoid things that allow me to slip into “self sabotage.”

Personally the most important aspects of these routine type videos is the morning and evening routine. A lot of us don’t have time to be creative for 3 hours in the middle of the day but most of us can bookend our days with routine and intention. We can wake up early, stretch, go for a 10-20 min walk, read a passage from a daily book and set the day with intention. We can also end the day strong. Go to bed at a good time, stop consuming technology an hour before bed and read a chapter from a fiction book that interests us. At least that’s what I try to do. When I’m successful doing so it works wonders for my mental health and productivity.

This comment strikes me oddly because I work a 9-5 and I feel like these life-optimizing advices hit home for me. You have time in the morning and evening. You just need to set the time frame and choose what you do with it. You can’t really say “I’ll do this in the morning” or “I’ll do this tonight”. Block off a specific time frame and commit to just that. It doesn’t have to be reading, it can be drawing, watching a show, going for a walk, meditation, listening to music. You choose what you do with the time. If you catch yourself spending time on something randomly or passively then you can use that time to focus on something you specifically want to work on. More often than not, sacrifices must be made in some areas in order to accomplish other things. I find myself doom-scrolling in the evenings a lot but then remind myself that I can be using this time to do ANYTHING else more productive or educational or meditative or artistic. If you feel tired, self-analyze and see if you are genuinely exhausted and can’t keep your eyes open or are just “tired” and can still do something for a bit of time before you sleep. If it’s the former then just go to sleep and don’t force yourself awake (if there is nothing life-threatening you need to stay awake for). You just have to be willing to set apart the time and do the thing. Writing it down and booking off a time slot for whatever activity helps me a ton because it lets me realize the real amount of time I have left in the day and that as long as I commit to the time slot, I can accomplish what I wanted to in that time. Good luck.

I've just started reading daily, about a year ago, the Stoics. Just finished my 4th time through Epictetus Discourses, reading 1 or 2 discourses a day, to reflect on and grow. Now I'm on to Seneca Letters, so far 1 to 4 letters a day. Great perspectives, for me to finish my day. I'll check out your "daily's" suggestion for AM reading. Thanks Ryan for all your Stoic content! Good name, same as my oldest Son!

I work in education…there is no uninterrupted time (after students go home, there are emails to parents and curriculum prep for the next day). Add one new routine at a time. Get up early, but prep clothes, coffee, lunch the night before. Get Outside Everyday - walking outside after work will reset your whole body and mind. Read Everyday - start with Proverbs (they are short bits of everyday wisdom) and work your way through the Psalms and repeat (you can read & think about one on your way to &/or from work everyday rather than dwelling on things that are more stressful). Pick one thing and make it routine - we’re not aiming for ‘perfection’ but a better life everyday.

That's true but the problem with working at night is that you have the whole day behind you. It is easier to get tired, easier to procrastinate and easier to say I did enough. When you wake up early that deep work is the first thing you do, it sets you up right for the day. Also with waking up early it is important to go to sleep early and it is the most stoic thing to do because you control when you go to sleep but it is harder to control when you wake up.

I have adhd and look past what's most difficult because im the only one stopping myself in the first place.

I walk daily, my journaling now consists of writing down my food intake. The days I fail at it or need to look for escapes or different solutions to my exercise is when I have my son, which is 2 to 3 days a week. And I indeed find It hard to stick to my program on these days. Many of the things you mention require alone time, which I don’t have at these days. But thanks to my regime on the off days, I feel stronger on the days I can’t and I also miss my regime by now, which is the best motivator for me to look for alternatives. And I try not to bash mazelt up over it, but rather try to accept this reality knowing I can do many other things like cooking healthy, enjoy my kid and be there for him. And even then I need some space for myself which is getting less of a challenge now because I’m now trying to do things in parallel. Not always welcomed with open arms by my son, and even that becomes a teachable moment for the both of us.

Very good advice.

I really admire stoicism, but when material and surrounding conditions get rough, it gets really hard. For example, being in a tiny crowded appartement in a big city, living on a couch, not having a personal space to read, meditate, think, having no nature around at all, having no money to chill in a café, student loans, rainy days most of the time, no sleep because of the noise around, man I can tell you, stoicism can't reach enough to be able to pull you out. It is still marvelous, but it's not independent of many other factors that do not rely on our efforts. Sometimes life is just not dealing you the right cards at any given time to make it so you can manage to reach your goals. Philosophy is the best invention on this earth, but it's dependent of a minds ability to dispose of that cognitive space. And that space is extremely fragile.

I agree that routines are very useful to bring one back to the law of averages, but much like physical training one has to "shock the system" occasionally and be able to deal with chaos and break the routine.

“Principles” by Ray Dalio is a good daily read

My routine in morning is small wins. Put eye drops in ❤❤❤ peak behind curtain look at the new day. Take thyroid meds. Day dream for 40 mins what my intentions are for my day. Bit stretches and think what a wonderfull day I will have.

I finally understand my disconnect from Stoicism. Intellectually it makes sense however I have difficulty really "getting" it. But, here on Tube, all the commentary seems to be directed at "go-getter" young men. I'm old and have a totally different situation and set of needs. For instance, I am facing Death sometime soon. I'll have to start reading it myself and ditching the narratives. So thank you for providing me the catalyst for my deeper understanding.

Can you show us a tour of your garden, for 'stoic' gardeners like me.

I don’t need a cold plunge. I walk the dog first thing in the morning 6:30am and it was -12 degrees with the wind chill. Then a swim….a great way to start the day. The journal, French, Daily Stoic, Meditations are next on my schedule. Then tasks of the day. In the evening I do my relaxing reading. I need structure.

Nobody needs a cold plunge. In fact it would be very unstoic to need a polluting machine to train your willpower in unnatural cold water. Just walk barefeet or something.

The web page you mention has no way to sign up. There's a sign telling us what it's about, then it says "sign up below"... and there's nowhere to sign up. What gives?

Sometimes I ask my self how can I own the morning if I finish to work at midnight and by then I haven't eaten yet...

Cicero says - the disordered need order and the ordered needs disorder. Look in your horoscope and learn from your oppositr sign. I am aires and need to integrate the diplomavy from libra

Regarding stillness...20 min of meditation per day has been a game changer. The book called 30 Days to Reduce Stress by Harper Daniels was good for mindfulness too.

that slap at @14:42 was epic. And yes, DO THE MAIN THING - Marcus Aurelius

Absolutely not dissing your good thinking and kind suggestions ... but reading, journalling, and pushing your limits every day is still a routine.

Discipline gives you genuine freedom.

I have a serious question. What if your morning routine is jumbled up so to speak due to a chronic ill illness or disease. It’s really messes up any routine or I’m able to form due to my illness fluctuating daily/hourly and suggest tips or advice would be extremely extremely helpful for those who are disabled and who are trying to do our best here.

What about Short Storys? There are a fair bit longer but lovecraft as an example had a beautiful way to describe things.

The book that has made my life more agreeable is Meditations by Marcus Aurelius, I have listened to it many times and usually take 15 minutes a day to listen to its reflections, they are like a never ending story that takes me on a trip through my past and present life and gives me fortitude to embrace the future. There is not one day that it does not illuminate my mind and gives calm and clarity. Super bonus : it has no religious anchoring.

8:49 - You missed the sub-title for this section here, I'm guessing it would be "Challenge yourself... with a cold plunge" or something similar...

Didnt expect vincent chase at the end there 😂

Great video. You've got some bad audio on your main piece-to-camera though...Noise reduction software or a better mic would remedy it....

How about Mr. Rogers daily book?

every time I see videos of Ryan, my amazon cart size goes up lol

Anyone else notice the books on his shelf? Never seen them stacked horizontally and diagonally 🤔

You just need to keep moving forward

Someone's been burglarizing my home and making me this way

I’m glad you started off with getting up early despite stating you could these in any order. Not exactly, getting up early is necessary for any of the others to occur. 🤨😏
