The Three Questions: Urgency - What's the most pressing thing I need to do today? Satisfaction - At the end of the day, what will give me the most satisfaction? Joy - When I reflect on my day, what experience will give me the most joy?
8:48 And more than a simple block, it's a reminder in and of itself of why you should be stopping. A literal reminder would also help a lot i should say, I tend to forget my favorite lines so i leave as much of them as i can open on my phone as images, for example. It doesn't need to be this to work, some kind of totem or symbel or phrase, something you can see or hear and repeat, is enough. Some of mine are "don't focus on the leaf to see tree", "i can't get distracted!", quotes from Vagabond that trigger an image and vice versa. Always when i'm in a pinch i try to remember this story.
@@MarkoDjukic so far so good I have been reading more than watching videos this whole year. What I do is that the youtube app i hide it out of sight. So whenever I open the phone instead of Facebook ,RUclips or games. The first app that I see is Kindle. And the others are on the app menu Since it's the first thing I see, I just open it automatically and start reading.
I will say, congratulations! But remember, RUclips is useful, depending how you use it. For example, this video is useful, random D&D memes may not be.
Thanks for your channel. I just discovered it yesterday and it has already made me way more productive. I never thought of RUclips or other "Social" sites as infinity pools but that is a great analogy. Keep up the great work, liked and subscribed! Thank you!
This is going on my *2020 MUST READ LIST!* Thanks for sharing! Thanks for always putting out great content! You are an inspiration to smaller RUclips channels like mine. 👍
This content is awesome. Excellent review! I love how this book recommends setting up "systems" that will keep you accountable for your time. If we depend on our will power we will lose every time! Great Review!
I think there is something really sad about people outsourcing their responsibility for their actions to third party apps. I mean consider this... It’s 2020 now.... And what will this look like for us in another 10-20 years? Are we all going to be so pathetic, so lacking in will power, that we can’t make a choice to turn off the tv or internet or log out of a social media app...that we MUST have some third party do it for us? I think this is a conversation that needs to be at the front of everyone’s mind. We’ve normalized how weak people are acting, and sympathizing with each other about how we can’t control ourselves. That’s truly sad. The “smartest” species on the planet cannot control their attention long enough to truly focus on what is important? These are great tactics outlined from the book, but the underlying issue is what really bothers me. That humans are quickly becoming pathetic, helpless beings that must rely on the help of an algorithm if anything of any value is to be accomplished in their personal lives.
I was also wondering about the same, we humans lost the ability to control ourselves and have really become slaves of TECHNOLOGY! Like how am replying to this comment, hooked to youtube :P
That self weakening thought sneaked to my head while watching too, sadly with zero resistance. Such thought opens a backdoor for procrastination, a perfect recipe to sinking even deeper to that which we came here for, bringing time back. My autopilot was heading to ditch and look for some other solution, your comment brought that thought back to the light to process it consciously. Thank you 💙. We are at the peak of an era, a change cycle that so imperative that you either adapt or leave. Resistance is not a choice here, we know that sharks went through similar cycles changing how they look to adopt, dinosaurs didn’t! We have no safe place, we are being attacked everywhere even in our own homes، each individually. Choose to resist and stand rigid, is ignorance of the force. Yes, we are weak! and we should embrace it and accept how vulnerable we are. These techniques build the momentum needed to gain back control, trying to adopt. Thanks again.
I don't think we are weak and pathetic the way you put it. Just think about how much money and research goes into making these apps. The smartest engineers and designers are constantly working to make sure we spend more and more time on these apps. We are not weak and pathetic. We need to be aware that these infinity pools are well designed to keep us scrolling. It's from this awareness that we can also engineer and design a productive life for ourselves. Even the strongest willpower will collapse in front of a well designed and engineered system that targets our deepest psychological and evolutionary points.
You raise a great point about email. I simply turned off all email notifications on my phone and I am already less distracted by it. I highly recommend it.
Thank you Nathan you are mastering your craft now a days. Awesome explanation and the creative explanation is untouchable. Keep it up the great work!!!!!and off course thank you so much.
Its funny. you right. But I watched your video with family to do as part of quality time together. But your right we waste time. There is no right or wrong answer. It's what you set as priorities
On the highlight category you listed significance as one of the categories but when explaining the categories, it changed to satisfaction, is that an error?
The three pieces of advice about shutting things down and deleting apps are for the weak-willed. Instead, keep every distraction within arms reach and exercise your will power. Just don't use them. You can use an app like RescueTime to track your progress and set your goals. But what's proposed in this book/video is a crutch. You shouldn'y use a crutch unless you have a broken leg.

RUclips is the app that pulls me the most, but I'm slowly replacing it with kindle
How its going with this?

That idea of having a daily highlight is so useful.
you're basically my guide on what book i should read lol
Lol me too
Your posts are always so good. Thank you
I am enjoying this channel. Thanks for the summaries and mode of presentation. Awesome
Best channel!
A great summary and I will purchase this book soon!
Your summaryare always the best. Thank you.
Thank you Nathan you are mastering your craft now a days. Awesome explanation and the creative explanation is untouchable. Keep it up the great work!!!!!and off course thank you so much.
Great work, thanks for all the hard work you put in & create such a great content..
This is kind of reminiscent of making a to do list and then narrowing it down to the one most significant task.
Its funny. you right. But I watched your video with family to do as part of quality time together. But your right we waste time. There is no right or wrong answer. It's what you set as priorities

Best video on this subject 🎉thanks
Make a Video on your top Books to read in 2020
New Year 2020
With health
Good luck.
Have a nice Christmas.
Thank you
I removed several apps from my phone, do not disturb on from 22:00-14:00, only one episode of Netflix per evening
😲 WoW...!
Yes, it’s part of the system now. Creating habits is fundamental for productivity and a balanced life.
Awesome mate, keep inspiring
Nice book to start a new year resolution!!
Why you extended your normal time period for this vid?
Really appreciate your work man. 👍🏻
Hi, this is such nicely made video. What software did you use to make it?
Thank you! 👍👍
7:28 - can you please remove my password from the video?
Been a while since you analyzed a business book..great video tho
What was your highlight for the day?
Great summary 👍
Superb.. thank you

How can i make day meaningful with highlight method , it is good.
But your tactics vary on person to person.
Adding 2FA like authy to Password managers help too
Only this vid doesnt play. Everything else works. This is RUclips's way of making sure I dont make time
Thank you
Thanks man
Wow, that was awesome,
Thanks
amazing!!
The “send only email” idea is a good way to get fired if you work with confidential information.
Brilliant explanation.
Thank you 👏🏼
I have just sent you a linked in note. Hope you will reply great strategic opportunity behind

I copied that password. Really like the complexity...
Read Power of Moments instead....
1. The Power of Habits by Charles Duhigg
2. The 12 Rules of Life by Jordan B Peterson.
Atomic habits by James clear is much better book
Or try to read The Bullet Journal Method by Ryder Carroll for more spesific..
Could you review some books specifically by Navy Seals?
Have a look at these summaries from Nathan: "Cant_Hurt_Me" by David Goggins, good luck!
I’m too busy for all of this.
Not busy enough to leave a comment 😛
Good advice but there are thousands of books, videos, and podcasts out there with the same advice. Nothing in this book seems particularly original.
Quite drastic... . 😅 😅
No
Arguments are fine. Solutions are incomplete or primitive. There are better ways to avoid distractions.
Not worth a read.
No thanks - not buying it ;)
i disagree , you need internet to learn better
