My tips, as perhaps one of the more older viewers of this video, who has spent their life learning, is ...learn to enjoy the process, want to learn for learnings sake. 1) Start by learning anything you enjoy or that peaks your interest, don’t worry about whether it gets you a better job, sounds impressive, or if you even finish the topic (you can always come back to it). Doing something you enjoy will help make a habit. 2)Find subjects related to your area of interest and expand into them. For example, if you are a RUclipsr, you might want to learn about lighting, film production or coding. Or perhaps you might want to study mechanical engineering or car maintenance if your interest is NASCAR. 3) In order to make sure you are learning in the best way possible and not getting gaps in your knowledge, try to follow some sort of structure. Either one you have planned out yourself or perhaps a syllabus taken from a college course, found online. This doesn’t mean you have to pay college fees etc (although going to college isn’t the worst idea in the world) but, the point is to just make sure your not going in circles or missing things out. 4)As you are doing this for yourself, don’t worry about grades, or what other people thing and don’t worry that it takes you 6 months to understand something. 5) Enjoy the process, don’t take it too seriously. It’s meant to be fun after all. 6) Finally. Just start, don’t over think. Start now. Just 5 minutes, start.
Ok, but can we appreciate the video QUALITY? I'm having to watch this video twice to admire the video production and then to actually retain whatever information he gave! Great video, honestly. You're totally killing it.
The issue with bingeing anything is that your brain can only store so much in your short term memory much more productive to watch one informative RUclips video. Then write a summary for the video, then watch it again while going over what you summarized. And after that take a 20 minute or so break to let your brain settle
As a stem cell scientist, the great thing about my job is that you are pretty much paid to constantly learn and acquire new skills. I have also read several studies which show that age-related cognitive decline can be counteracted by cognitive training (to some degree at least). These benefits have mostly been observed in people with mild forms of cognitive impairments but also in healthy adults (I'm actually planning a video about that myself in the nearer future, at least it's on my list). So never stop learning!
OMG! Can I get your email? I am a university student coursing Pharmacy and would love to hear experience from people that work in the scientific study field. I have read lot on stem cells but haven't considered much fought on actually dedicating my life to that field of study. I am, although, doing a scientific paper on stem cells from a certain plant. 😍
As someone who graduated college 7 months ago, this is super valuable to hear! I loved the constant learning in school and now, in a new job, I feel like I’m still learning things on a daily basis, but a lot less than before. I think I’m going to make this 5 hour rule a new year’s resolution.
Serious speaking, Thomas made such a huge impact to who I am today. I look at life in many different perspectives and just really happy of what I am doing now. Thanks Thomas!

As a software developer, learning new things and technologies is a big part of the job. No software project is the same. I think for me it is more important to first get into the habit of exercising at least 5hrs/times a week. Without a solid base(sleep, nutrition, exercise) it is difficult and can even be pointless to try and add other things to the mix.
@@mauve9266 It really depends on what you do, for webdev for example it's usually much less important while for game graphics and machine learning stuff you will need more. However generally I think it's less needed than people make it seem like. It's good to know math but usually, you can look it up if you need it. But I am in my first job so my experience is very limited. If you're interested in the career I'd try to get a company visit to a company that seems interesting with other people from school or similar and then write up questions beforehand to ask when you're there.
Bryce Brogan totally. All things considered I’d say I’m fairly good at the latter 3 but I’ve struggled a bit with applying those skills to numbers and maths in general
The comfort zone, is where dreams go to die. Love your videos. One of my biggest fears in life was potentially falling into a pit of complacency. It was always very hard for me to commit to a corporate job until, I realize that it was merely a small step to increase my knowledge of the world which I later learned one of my favorite things to do is learn as much as i possibly can, about everything I can.
"INDEED. I, TOO, ENJOY THE ORGANIC MATTER THAT ONE MAY CONSUME. ESPECIALLY THAT OF WHICH IS KNOW TO US FELLOW NOT ROBOTS AS "PIZZA". MY ORGANIC MATERIAL PROCESSING RECEPTORS DO FIND SUCH THINGS SATISFACTORY"
This is by far one of the very best videos on RUclips, and definitely one of Thomas' best! Both the content and artistic style of the video keep me coming back to rewatch it.
I completely feel that about being complacent as a recent grad! Definitely important to keep reading and building new skills while you're in a 9-5 too. Thanks for the video!
"it's not that we don't have time, we just waste a lot of it" can't remember who said it, but is so true. Great video and man, you are really pushing the production effort in your videos, very well done! 👍
i think it’s important that we maximize our efficiency as a human race so a lot of jobs that can be automated should, we should start paying people a lot of money for jobs that advance/benefits us humans as a whole. Then we can actually pay people a little more for creative jobs too, I always wanted to work in music but no one values it, in terms of providing it a high salary. But if we automate enough jobs people can either actually pursue dreams or only work jobs where humans are REQUIRED. This way we’re always doing something important and valuing the human minds ability to be creative.
I've done this for basically the last 14 years. Has done wonders for my career. I try and learn something in my field (software / web development) everyday for around an hour or so. Books, tutorials, code practice, whatever. Night time worked best for me afters were down and asleep.
I've been following this channel for a while now, and the videos just don't stop surprising me. They are just SUPERB , and some how they keep getting better. This is proof that you put your advices to use. Thank you for the high quality and much needed content on RUclips.

@@hassosigbjoernson5738 you made a really nice point it is important to know which knowledge is more useful to avoid wasting time on other stuff which aren't worth. Moreover, the thing about gaming i didn't like too i think they are a great way for both entertainment and education if you can control yourself and don't give it more time than they should take of your day.
I'd love to see more about those general skills. I'm definitely a lifelong learner myself, but I feel like I do better when I have a project to use a new skill on, like when you used your excel skills to make your housing price calculator. I'd be interested in your thoughts on exploring some projects people could use to learn the general skillsets you mentioned.
I did make it through college and I obtained my degree. Largely by listening to your video's and practicing what you said to perform. Thank you a million times over Thomas Frank. You're an inspiration for millions.
Your videos are constantly getting better. This one was fun and dynamic. The moving shots and graphics are fun. I love the data you give, but I also just love watching you grow as a creator. Way to set the example.
Its been long since ive watched ur videos, this one is more slower , making it smoother and just more rich Big up on this upgrade of production quality. 👍🏻
This video is exactly why I follow you. I have devoted myself to continual learning now that I'm older. I wish I would've realized how important it is to have a learning mindset when I was a kid. Great video! R.
This is my most favorite video of yours so far.. This whole 13 minutes for me was like a show.. It's like I'm watching a Discovery channel show. Just amazing.
“You will always struggle with not feeling productive until you accept that your own joy can be something you produce. It is not the only thing you will make, nor should it be, but it is something valuable and beautiful.” - Hank Green
This was brilliant Thomas! (pun intended lol). Seriously, you guys did a great job and I've left with a good deal to reflect on which is a great feeling. I loved the intention for each shot and overall it was super entertaining. Life long learning is something I've learnt from my dad, who though he's been GP doctor for over 35 years, he is still always learning something new each day. In fact, my dad would always ask me; "What's one thing that you learnt today?" after I might have had a bad day at school and would default to say "absolutely nothing", but then again he would say... "well there must be something...", and eventually I'd realise that I did learn something amazing that day. It was useful hearing about career skills, domain dependence and essential skills. One thing I am challenging myself with is to comment on every video I watch. That way it forces me to reflect a bit more deeply on what I have watched, and also prevents me from wanting to watch countless videos that may not be very useful. I've been a big fan of your videos and podcast for years, but this may be the first time I've commented. Epic video.
this video is so well done. particularly moving the camera to make room for the graphics. and all of the b-roll was perfectly applicable to illustrate what you were saying. great job!
Not only is your content top notch but so is the quality of your videos. There’s always some cool, new, unexpected and highly underrated filmmaking trick. You’re awesome!
I don't know if someone mentioned it but I really like the new improvement in your video. The way you walk outside while explaining things. You used to be locked up in the room. It seems like there's a spirit of openness from you with just the walking scene :D
Thomas the quality of this video is TOP NOTCH! Not only highly informative but such an easy flow of visuals to match! Impressive creativity and design!!!
Holy sh*t Thomas! I didn't watch your channel for over a month but now I'm back needing more productivity content and I can say that the PRODUCTION QUALITY HAS RISEN A LOT. Keep it up! And as always I'm not your dad. Keep this outro up as well xD
Oh, but the hours spent looking for the mistake was excruciating. I’ll take an app crash over the old days any day. Anyone who misses them spent too much time sniffing pink and yellow correction fluid. ;)

This has been part of one of the most beneficial sidetracked RUclips binges I've had. Thanks for happening to fall into my algorithm, subbed for more scheduled learning time binges.

My tips, as perhaps one of the more older viewers of this video, who has spent their life learning, is ...learn to enjoy the process, want to learn for learnings sake.
1) Start by learning anything you enjoy or that peaks your interest, don’t worry about whether it gets you a better job, sounds impressive, or if you even finish the topic (you can always come back to it). Doing something you enjoy will help make a habit.
2)Find subjects related to your area of interest and expand into them. For example, if you are a RUclipsr, you might want to learn about lighting, film production or coding. Or perhaps you might want to study mechanical engineering or car maintenance if your interest is NASCAR.
3) In order to make sure you are learning in the best way possible and not getting gaps in your knowledge, try to follow some sort of structure. Either one you have planned out yourself or perhaps a syllabus taken from a college course, found online. This doesn’t mean you have to pay college fees etc (although going to college isn’t the worst idea in the world) but, the point is to just make sure your not going in circles or missing things out.
4)As you are doing this for yourself, don’t worry about grades, or what other people thing and don’t worry that it takes you 6 months to understand something.
5) Enjoy the process, don’t take it too seriously. It’s meant to be fun after all.

I'm definitely a lifelong learner myself, but I feel like I do better when I have a project to use a new skill on, like when you used your excel skills to make your housing price calculator. I'd be interested in your thoughts on exploring some projects people could use to learn the general skillsets you mentioned.
I did make it through college and I obtained my degree. Largely by listening to your video's and practicing what you said to perform. Thank you a million times over Thomas Frank. You're an inspiration for millions.
The stock shot at 11:05 was so beautiful
I get flashbacks of when I was welcoming the dawns studying, drinking tons of coffee and listening to jazz.
man here I was thinking your videos and info couldn't get any better cause they were already SOLID thank you for proving me wrong.
Hahaha that intro! 0:58 great work Thomas! ✨
So funny 🤩😂
Necessary!
Your videos are constantly getting better. This one was fun and dynamic. The moving shots and graphics are fun. I love the data you give, but I also just love watching you grow as a creator. Way to set the example.
Always ask yourself "what's my next action?" helps you build momentum on anything
The quality of your videos has gotten so much better over the years, nice job man :)
Wow Thomas, this was an incredibly produced video with a very strong takeaway. Really fantastic!
Its been long since ive watched ur videos, this one is more slower , making it smoother and just more rich
Big up on this upgrade of production quality. 👍🏻
I'm so proud of you! This production quality is amazing! It's been cool seeing your video quality increase over the years! Good job, man!
This video is exactly why I follow you. I have devoted myself to continual learning now that I'm older. I wish I would've realized how important it is to have a learning mindset when I was a kid. Great video! R.
I like how this video had a few shots of Thomas walking whilst talking to the camera. Made it feel like a mini documentary.
Congratulations on your engagement, Thomas! That is such exciting news 👏🏻
In these, “my gf” became “my fiance.”
Congrats Thomas
Who's the lucky guy?
@@notredamelockerroom376 woah, chill bro
@@jaylinharrell1555 its a joke
This is my most favorite video of yours so far..
This whole 13 minutes for me was like a show..
It's like I'm watching a Discovery channel show.
Just amazing.
“You will always struggle with not feeling productive until you accept that your own joy can be something you produce. It is not the only thing you will make, nor should it be, but it is something valuable and beautiful.” - Hank Green
I really appreciate your increase in your production quality day by day...
Following you since last 4years..
Me in school: you mean the 40 hour rule...
Live The Future 40 hours a day obvs
The Ling Ling Rule
You mean the 10 hour a day rule?

Chandrika K you can do it fast big braiiiiin
The quality of this video is fantastic. Just a work of art in my humble opinion.
This was brilliant Thomas! (pun intended lol). Seriously, you guys did a great job and I've left with a good deal to reflect on which is a great feeling. I loved the intention for each shot and overall it was super entertaining.
Life long learning is something I've learnt from my dad, who though he's been GP doctor for over 35 years, he is still always learning something new each day. In fact, my dad would always ask me; "What's one thing that you learnt today?" after I might have had a bad day at school and would default to say "absolutely nothing", but then again he would say... "well there must be something...", and eventually I'd realise that I did learn something amazing that day.
It was useful hearing about career skills, domain dependence and essential skills.
One thing I am challenging myself with is to comment on every video I watch. That way it forces me to reflect a bit more deeply on what I have watched, and also prevents me from wanting to watch countless videos that may not be very useful. I've been a big fan of your videos and podcast for years, but this may be the first time I've commented.
Epic video.
this video is so well done. particularly moving the camera to make room for the graphics. and all of the b-roll was perfectly applicable to illustrate what you were saying. great job!
Are we gonna glance right over the Furby at 6:18 or?
This was SO GOOD! One of your best videos yet! The content and video quality were absolutely amazing - it felt like a mini-documentary!
I love Charles’ cameo, was so surprised to see that xD
Not only is your content top notch but so is the quality of your videos. There’s always some cool, new, unexpected and highly underrated filmmaking trick. You’re awesome!
I honestly can't pay attention to the content with that exponential curve of the quality of your edition, man.
Just can't deal with this.
Bro this was one of the strongest into’s you’ve ever made. So smooth
I don't know if someone mentioned it but I really like the new improvement in your video. The way you walk outside while explaining things. You used to be locked up in the room.
It seems like there's a spirit of openness from you with just the walking scene :D
It’s ok Thomas, we know, you can make your movie now. We know it would be good.
Literally! Do it Thomas!
Thomas the quality of this video is TOP NOTCH! Not only highly informative but such an easy flow of visuals to match! Impressive creativity and design!!!

He has outdone himself this time. Very impressive and comprehensive. Keep up the good work mate.
1:33 "Hey Charles..."
Me: Wait, who's Charles?
OH CHARLES CORNELL
Holy sh*t Thomas!
I didn't watch your channel for over a month but now I'm back needing more productivity content and I can say that the PRODUCTION QUALITY HAS RISEN A LOT. Keep it up!
And as always I'm not your dad. Keep this outro up as well xD
Imagine working on a spreadsheet in 1978..they just didn't experience the gut wrenching frustration of excel crashing on you 😂
Oh, but the hours spent looking for the mistake was excruciating. I’ll take an app crash over the old days any day. Anyone who misses them spent too much time sniffing pink and yellow correction fluid. ;)
@@AlloftheGoodNamesAreTaken hahaha. The old accounting highs...
What about if your ink pot fell and ruined your work sheet? The horror.
Your production quality is truly exceptional!
No one gonna talk about how cool his jump was?
I agree ! It was so cool
I was thinking exactly the same thing
The planning, creation and value of information in this video is INSANE
My brain functions well from 9‐5 and after that it's done 😂😂
Great video! Will definitely try to implement this
For me this one hour would be listening to podcasts, there are many informative podcasts these days and they're so interesting and fun
"cause as always, I'm not your dad"
Thomas' son be like:
*cry*
I like this style of video. Usual sit down videos get boring. This is great.
Like a good AI, Thomas learnt that he should lower his speech speed so that humans could process information more effectively.
This production quality is amazing, by the way. I've been watching for years and its cool to see how much the channel has improved
2:39 you walk perfectly like a human. good job.
you're the best thanks for the tips including that one which we make excuses that we have a lot of job to do and procrastinate using this excuse instead doing the job
"I'm not a robot. I'm a human." Exactly what a robodouche who's plotting world domination would say.
Being your content consumer for a long time now, have seen you growing with respect to your skills quite well. Great job man!! Love your videos!!
The 5 Hour Rule
CEOs: Learn 5 hour per day
Avg Joe: 5 hours per week
Me: 5 hours per year
One of the things I love the most about being a teacher is the necessity of constant learning and educating myself. I loved the video!
„You should dedicate 1 hour a day 5 days a week for learning”
Me learning 20/7: 😳
Yo 🙋🏻♂️🙇🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️💡💪🏽❕
This is the best video about productivity that I saw in a long time, for both content and realization. Great job Tom! Say hello to Sophia for me!
"I'm not a robot" - Thomas Frank, 2020
This has been part of one of the most beneficial sidetracked RUclips binges I've had.
Thanks for happening to fall into my algorithm, subbed for more scheduled learning time binges.
2:40 SMOTH ;)
The words "Low Value Activities" really stood out to me as useful, THANK YOU! I have decided what learning I will start with and I begin tomorrow. I appreciate your insights and also thank you for the time you take to make these videos.
If you read this, I hope you have a very successful new week!! ❤️
Btw thank you Thomas for inspiring me to create videos about self development and productivity!!
Thank you
Thanks Paul
I'm loving the BBC style walk while explaining, the quality of your production is really improving, excellent video man.
"Don't worry I'm not a robot."
But you failed to answer if you are a cake. 🤔
He's a beefcake.
😆
I'd certainly eat that cake.
Aside all the thousands of comments this will receive. You so an absolutely amazing job at delivering your message to your audience - and I find your humbleness a very beautiful trait to live up to even with all your knowledge and calm demeanor!
The 5-hour rule requires you to spend one hour each day, 5 days per week, learning something new.
Your videos keep getting better and better. I'm glad I found your channel
