I somehow got the feeling that I got baited into this video. What makes a good reason to invest into a habit? How do you actually make something more enjoyable? I didn't quite get what those 5 ways of rapidly improving at anything are.
idk why I didn't respond to this earlier, but I may as well help you with this. It sounds like you didn't get what I said in this video. These tricks are all things I practiced when I was learning different skills. And I do outline how you can perform these tricks, however, allow me to explain what you were scratching your head about. A "reason" is what the name implies. A reason. Whenever we want to do something, it usually comes with a subconscious reason. For example, 'you want to eat steak for dinner because it tastes good'. In practices, reasons come in handy because without that reason, you would lose interest in the task. If I were to practice sheet music, and say I wanted to do it because "it's fun to site read sheet music" my brain would be far more compelled to do the task at hand. This is simply just apart of human psychology and it's how we form goals as human beings. Hope this helped!
@@Riley46SelfHelp I appreciate your reply, however, my point was: not all reasons are equally motivating, and thus what makes a *good* reason is important. The one trick I managed to make out from your video is that of gamifying your life (the "personal best score" idea) Besides that, there's: 1. Leaning into discomfort - not a trick, more of a general direction, which in a way is in conflict with the section where you talk about how forcing/grinding something that feels uncomfortable/frustrating is a "massive mistake". What is the difference between putting in mindless effort and leaning into discomfort? 2. Having a compass: again, not a trick, but an abstract idea (how do you identify your compass(es)? the story you mentioned does not directly explain this) 3. Bad vs Good habits: again, general direction. How do we actually make the change from bad to good habits, and which habits should take priority?
@@Lucemer 1. Towards the end of the section, I clarified that there was a way to make the "leaning into discomfort" part a lot easier. Which leads the viewer onto the 2nd trick. 2. A compass may not look like a trick, but whenever I've changed my direction when learning, I've managed to make massive progress. The trick here is to pivot your learning in order to get a better result. With identifying a compass, all you have to do is that you want to look back at your progress. With RUclips, the way I was able to find my compass was that I looked at why I was failing and I realised it's because of my lack of script writing. If you were to be failing at learning how to speak a different language, you have to look within and find what you're missing. 3. Different habits will change your ability to stay focused. How I learnt about which habits had negative effects and which had positive effects is through personal experience. I'm glad you asked about habit priority as well because this brings up an important fact. Whatever you do in the morning translates throughout the rest of the day. So you want to prioritize meditation and grounding strictly for the morning so the entire day holds the concentration boost.
This video is amazing. I put it on 2x and my view on this stuff has changed forever. I remember when I wanted to teach myself Calc 1-3 last winter I was making good progress with lectures and graphical videos, but I could never pick up a textbook. Tips 2/3 rlly helped me realize what was going on looking back.
blud read one book and made it his whole personality 😭😭😭 (genuinely good video though)
Great video! Thank you!❤
Keep dropping Bro!! Love your videos

Amazing quality, great work 👍. Don’t stop!
great content bro! Remember, lighting is very important if you want to look professional. So just keep that in mind for the next one :D!
btw, the editing is very very good, keep it up.
good to know. nice video!
I would have loved it if you ended your video with a short recap, it think that would improve the quality of your video❤😊
You're right about that lol. I should've at least written a recap somewhere.
nice video bro
