There are two kinds of activity. 1) goal achieving, and, 2) stress relieving. Maybe people "wasting time," are actually productively relieving stress. Leave them to their distractions from the hell they are living in.
Stress-relieving activities are only stress-relieving for a certain amount of time. Go overboard and comes unhappiness and unfulfillment because the more important things are taken for granted. Yep, that's me most of the time.
I would have to say the opposite! I know it sounds counter intuitive, but I have found that if I base my value of time on, say, what I 'used' to make, or more than I get now, it makes me less likely to take a job, project or time out of my day to do things that are more mundane. More importantly that being productive, we have to _enjoy_ what we produce. Such as making a necklace, or raking the yard. Hard to do chores when you feel you should get thousands. Instead of thinking in monetary terms, the simple idea that _time is money_ should suffice. But what is money? Comfort? Time? Once we think it through, I feel it is all relative. But we are only as productive as the results that our efforts have produced.
It's because once you reached a certain level of wealth, gaining more is just not a good use of time anymore. Sounds like you have reached it. Yes, some people don't have a limit, actually it might be a toxic hedonic cycle they are chasing, gaining more and more, but never being actually happy with what they have.
Also you're misunderstanding, he was not saying that family and health aren't important. Quite the opposite. They are so important that they are worth that much an hour and more.
And don't even say no, just ignore. Those who don't respect your time, or you, don't deserve your time. Wish I had learnt this in my twenties, a mostly unproductive, and not even much fun, decade.
overall all your videos are extraordinary. I have not seen/heard anything like the way you narrate, thanks a lot for saving time of reading so much that you read for creating these videos !!
Best points for me Jeff Goins: The most successful people I know are not busy. They are focused. Seneca: If people want to know how short life is, reflect on how small a portion is their own. Irvine: People can be unhappy because they don't know what is valuable. Steve Jobs: I am proud of the things we have not done as the things we have done.

Nothing would change, because I know my time isn't worth $1000/hr. My time is worth what I'm being paid. Something is only worth what someone is willing to pay. If someone is willing to pay me $1000/hr., for what I do, I'll take it, but I know that's not going to happen.
0:35 That's ME!!! The character, just add a soul patch and a ponytail. And I'm going to be making more sooner than later. I've been "on fire" doing for a few weeks now. I've reached that age where I know how limited my hours upon Earth are. It's motivating for sure--just wish I'd thought more about it 20, 30, and 40 years ago!
It feels like this channel has started to move towards somewhat unhealthy views on productivity. Imagining your time was so valuable would have a lot of drawbacks too.
He engraves this concept in a lot of videos if you listen enough, especially his ones on procrastination. He mentions that taking set time away to be 100% unfocused is much more effective than being 50% focused. You cant listen to only one video, you have to pick and pull from all of them since everyone has different views on what’s important etc.
@@vidatooraww6048 I'm actually a big fan of this channel and have seen many of his videos. This is why I said the channel is moving towards a somewhat unhealthy ideas. Because it didn't used to be this way. I don't disagree with your comment, only responding to your assumption that I have any seen this one video when it is not the case.
If I got paid $1000 an hour then I wouldn't work as hard. I'd go easy with myself and spend more time relaxing and enjoying time with my family. I get what this is trying to say but I value my family over my work so it really won't work for me.
you wouldn't get paid 1000 an hour for having time spent with your family. not on this Earth. MAYBE FOR cheating while you spend time with your family or whatever else, but that's an entirely another discussion isn't it, so relax, this video is made for you to relax your mind
This is the main point this is practically impossible... Either you do passive income fortune and than you calculate it 1000$ an hour or even more... Other 15$ - 50$max an hour active. That is the story world goes
If you're reading this, just remember to take things slow. The 80/20 rule will help you achieve your "goal" as long as you don't lose your focus. Now stop procrastinating in the comment section, we are running out of time.
I'm struggling with ADHD and can't get things done even if I want to yet I can't take the medication I used to take because my heart worsened. The absolute last thing I wanted to hear was "just focus dude"
It sounds like you're farther on the spectrum than I am, so I don't know if this will help. I've realized to stop caring about how "normal" people do things and go at my own pace. Trying to do things the "right" way gets me overwhelmed and makes me ignore whatever is causing me stress. This causes a cycle of indolence. It wasn't even that I had no skills/talent or drive, I just wasn't able to use my skills efficiently because I wasn't doing it my way, I was doing it an unnatural way. For example, when it comes to focusing, I have a pretty short attention span. Whatever task I'm doing drains my energy fast. Forcing myself to focus longer makes me feel anxious, overwhelmed, and upset. I may finish that task, but I don't feel like doing any other task that day. I found that if I let myself wander: I feel better, I gain more skills in the long run, and I am more likely to finish my tasks. It was tough in the beginning. I never let myself work naturally, so there was a lot I had to manage. At first, it seemed as if I was avoiding things, and I still wasn't getting much done, so I made an online to-do list to edit it easier and to make sure I knew what I had to do. I put things that I wanted to do in there too, so I didn't overstress myself. I made sure to follow what I was feeling. If I ever felt like I could do a task, I had to start it before I lost that motivation. If I ever felt like I really didn't want to continue a task, I'd write whatever I was able to, and move on to a different task. Sometimes I felt that I couldn't do the necessary tasks anymore that day. Sometimes I couldn't even start on one task. All that matters is that I tried. I opened the page, and I wasn't feeling it. It's okay; I trust myself to do it later. I thought I could never rely on that, but after doing stress-relieving activities (like hobbies), I found myself to be in a much better mental state, and I developed my work ethic easier. If I ever miss a task, it's okay. Opportunities will always come, so I better get ready for the next one. I hope this helps. I hate it when people tell me to just focus
@@Sara-lb6sf It's nice to hear working at your own pace works for you but for me, putting work off for later means I'll put it off until tomorrow which means putting it off until next week and that cycle repeats until I either forgot about it or hit the deadline. Even the things I think I enjoy are hard to do. I find myself procrastinating on playing video games by walking up and down my room instead :D
@@Sara-lb6sf That's a funny idea! But no, I haven't. My main goal is getting into 3D design with Blender. I'm living with my parents and don't currently have a job so I want to improve at a skill. Trouble is I keep bouncing off. I guess I should try procrastinating on work by working out but that feels like suicide with the current heat wave. Though I have to admit the lines between "I'm not doing this thing for a logical reason" and "I'm not doing this thing and looking for excuses" have been getting blurry lately. Thank you for your input
Good video. Inspirational but perhaps also bit short sighted and generic. Similar to point of view that blame poverty squarely on the "laziness" of people and ignores the conditions the person is facing; or the ones where survivorship bias is completely ignored (giving examples of very successful people completely disregarding their background). Noting taken away from the success of anyone (to promote that is the gist of this video) but its also not fair to simply ignore the reality of what many people have to live through. Wasting time is of course not great but at the same time you need do activities that relax and recharge your mind. Sometimes these activities can seem mindless to someone from the outside but the person themselves benefits form those.
I think in the video, he talks about Carl Newport, and his book "Deep Work", and Newport says do your work focused and THEN enjoy the rest of your day, focused work is not something you do 24/7.
1000$ an Hour.... Gr8 idea! I spent last 4.5 years looking for a remote international opportunity with 21KWD an hour compensation come to me... Since I am still unemployed... Why not to procrastinate for 1000$ an hour?....
Someone has to do the trivial, boring unproductive tasks in this world. Everyone wants to be Warren Buffet, Steve Jobs, Tim Ferris, no one wants to be the average Joe who keeps the things going with trivial and boring tasks.
Have you read the 4 hour workweek? Or his interview about the aftermath? Thats a good place to start. Tim has completely changed my way of thinking which resulted in changing my life. Ive watched a ton of videos and read dozens of books, and Tim’s stuff is a cut above. Just my opinion tho.
@@kidcasgaming62 I'm really glad he's had a positive impact on you. My issue with him and the many people like him is that there's no reason for the information they're presenting to be monetised through books, seminars, e-courses, etc. It's one thing to try to make money selling a valuable product that actually helps people. It's another thing entirely to exploit people who might be at their most vulnerable.

I tend to overwork and overthink. Then sleep, relaxation and stuff takes a hit. Balance is key..
Spent 140.8333333 $ on this video , but was worth every penny of it !
I love how the video starts off with "You have very few hours here on this earth".
I could just go to another planet and have many more, just kidding.
overall all your videos are extraordinary. I have not seen/heard anything like the way you narrate, thanks a lot for saving time of reading so much that you read for creating these videos !!
Thank you 'The Art of Motivation' for invaluable lessons.
You'll surely be one of the reasons behind my great successes.
