The Art of Improvement 🙏
nice job.. May I know which tool you used to make these cartoons & video ?
Strange example - the guy's rich but what has he shown us? As far as I'm aware he merely stands on the shoulders of others.
Hi Billy
@Bless Gillette it doesn't. I know people who read and honestly, for the most part, they're just arrogant as shit. Nobody looks at dyslexic people such as Einstein, they just ignore them. Afaik, maxwell was also dyslexic, yet his equations are used in engineering on a day to day basis. People are cherry picking, and that is what I call arrogance.
I am certain that there are many librarians and academics who do vast amounts of reading on a regular basis but haven't reached any significant level of success in life beyond a traditional career. Reading is important, but results are in the actions we take, not just in what we learn in books.
Being selective in what you read and actually applying the knowledge is most likely what seperates the successful from the reading addicts
Didn’t he explain in the end that you practice what you learned again and again to achieve expertise
Survivorship bias and retrospective determinism at play.
Well, what do you determine as success? For an "academic" or "scholar" a traditional career involves learning and participating in progressive research and discussions of said research. This research ideally leads to information that benefits society/humanity. That is why many professors become professors - the research opportunities that are provided to them. I would call this a traditional career for someone like that and the results of successful research a significant success in life. They may not be wildly wealthy, but they are certainly successful. Nikola Tesla lived and died poor and is likely the single most important person in history thus far.
Agreed. One of the most important parts of becoming successful is guts. You need to do things you're not comfortable with and you need to do them consistently.
1. Plan out the Learning
2. Deliberately Practice
3. Ruminate
4. Set aside time just for learning
5. Solve problems as they arise
6. Do small experiments with big payoffs

I was scrolling down the comment section to find this one. Thanks!
❤️
@@miserimuslovestarvus6587 next time, you will be the one to write :)
thank you!!
All I've figured out through my 30 years of life is that to have constant and lasting success at something is not about the amount of time you spend practicing short term but whether it is done consistently over large periods of time. One year, two, three, even if it is only one hour a day, even though it feels you are not really progressing, eventually you will see massive changes. You can't rush anything. You need time.
Thank you!!
I wanna thank you too :))
True. Same goes for growing a RUclips channel.
Thank you
Yeah, it took me 6 years to learn English lol but it was 'easy', I just invested a couple of minutes per day on that task...I'm glad I did that
My grandfather told me, "If you want to be smart; read. If you want to be really smart; read a lot." Good advice!
That's really a wonderful advice
Try to hold a balance between reading and collecting life experiences. Book is a collection about other people's experiences, if you do not have these experiences, you won't be able to understand much of what they mean
@information addict You must be meaning "the feymans technique" , and one of albert einstein´s quote.

I spend about 5 hours a day watching videos on RUclips about how to become successful. Does that count? :)
Ulrich Enevoldsen One cannot truly internalise it without putting it to practice first
Yes. Now go change the world .. or get hit by a bus whilst watching a vid and simultaneously crossing the road.. idk you make your decisions brah. ;) ( not wishing death, preemptively clarifying choices are important)
If you have to ask, no.
I have always been an auditory learner. Probably because I am somewhat dyslexic. Because of this I love learning from RUclips and especially audio book. That being said, I have had mentors who strongly recommended reading as well. What I found is that I get something very different, and in addition, through the process of reading. And I have learned to live it.
Having a mentor and Community of people committed to improvement and progression has been critical to this process. For one, people with the results I want point me to the best books and resources.

I’ve been waisting a lot of time in RUclips watching crap. Now I only watch RUclips for self development and your videos are a breath a fresh air. I always learn something that I can apply to my life. Thanks so much!!!
For ultimate success in life, follow these 2 simple rules:
1. Never tell everything you know
I know the second rule
Mohd. Ajmal Khan what is it
Haha
I took a print of your comment 😊
hey man you forgot to to add the 2nd rule.
Very interesting. I'm retired, and now have the time to focus on learning. Current interest is philosophy.
Good for you!
i give you the most simple answer you will get after you sum up so many knowledge you can get from philosophy to save your precious time.

“Benjamin Franklin was successful because he set personal growth goals” ...they also left out the part where he wrote that goal-setting was too difficult and nobody likes a perfect person
Where did he write that?
Being a constant learner and investing in educating yourself is the shortest way to really find your meaning. This doesn't come from the sky, we need to work to uncover it. Ben Franklin is a great example. Great video, man!

Paying full attention during the day is already learning. Since you pay attention you'll ponder later what happened in order to BE that KNOWLEDGE.
Rumination and reflection, recording too.
I don't necessarily take this video as an explicit "you will be great and successful if you dedicate an hour a day to learning consistently," but in terms of improving myself for the sake of simply being a well rounded person, I think this is a very helpful message. After all, an hour a day isn't that hard, right? It's just about making it a habit.
in IT, by the time a book is written and published it's already out-dated
Read online through blog posts. Read whitepapers, and monthly journals from big tech companies. Participate in slack groups, linked in conversations etc.
I agree, but books could be analogous to reading documentation, blogs or just getting your hands dirty. You are right though, learning new tech with a book kinda misses the point.
As a side note, I do not see 5 hours a week being even close to enough time to really grasp, play and test new systems, frameworks or even dive into the depths of the things you already know. I could spend 10-20 hours outside my job just learning if I could... But kids, life ... Etc
In IT we read other devs code, and documentation mostly. We still read a lot though.
Not really. The last big thing to happen in computers was networking. Early Eighties. What's new? Cloud computing? That's networking. Blockchain? Networking.
There are many 90s principles that are not used, but should, any time a new framework/tech arises is an implementation of something someone wrote in the 90s. All you can read about it would improve your vision
I apply a few of these rules but the one I should prioritize but never do is the community part. It's easy to underestimate how important interacting with like-minded people is.
1. Use empty space for learning (read/write)
2. Deliberate your time with intentionality
3. Ruminate - give time to yourself to think (walking)
4. Solve problems in the day as the arise
Learning until your last breath is the only way to never stop growing.
A much simpler method is to consistently eat American food.

They should teach this in school. Great lessons all compiled in a single video. Thanks for the review.
I felt like this video was made for me- I've been wasting a whole lot of time recently. Then you gave the example of a sales call- I'm a salesman who spends my learning time trying to improve. I have no doubt you were thinking of me when you made this!
This is actually a goal I made for myself this year. I've been spending time reading self help and spiritual books which have helped me personally. I'm also working on increasing my technical knowledge as well, which is in addition to the 5 hours a week I read.
ruminate. i love doing that. the best ideas come out of soaking deep into your idea n exploring it
I'll note that music education is a clear teaching/learning environment that emphasizes this approach.
I am enjoying the work behind this video. It is clear that you have not takem someone else's content but have rather synthesised knowledge from different sources. You also seem to actually reflect on improvement regularly. Thank you.
I spend a lot of my time on the computer and I'd say half the time is learning or making things. Now that I'm staying at home during the pandemic, I've set a time for 2 hours to be away from the computer so my brain doesn't get overloaded. This could be for reading, listening to an album intently, doing nothing, cleaning, etc. It's been extremely helpful. This video is a good way to think about how I use time and why I'm doing the things I'm doing. Thank you.
There is so much psuedo-science out there that it is hard to trust what you read. I listen to a lot of audio books and read every day and I am currently self studying music theory via you Tube...so I am a believer in learning but I am also skeptical about a lot of stuff. There’s lots of information out there but knowledge is hard to come by.
NurturingTalents Thank you! I will check it out.
Pseudo science is not necessarily bad. Intuition was and still is an important part of human knowledge. We have to make leaps of faith in determining what is the right course of action many times.
SuWoopSparrow point well taken and I think I can usually classify in my mind hard fact vs possible fact but I think there are many who take questionable information as fact then make bad decisions. (I am not immune to being sucked in by bad information.). Nutritional science is almost becoming a joke in what’s good for you and what is bad and even more so when discussing huge gains from certain foods when the reality is probably much less.
Have any questions about theory? Maybe I can help.
That's what scientific literature is for. Obviously theres misinformation everywhere but for most academic fields there exists a VERY solid and pretty much fail-safe foundation. I learned more from reading a few pages in a scientific book that I've learned in months of surfing the internet. Admittedly, the internet is more distracting than a book, but still...
You sir, have publiahed awesome content that really motivated me to retake the 5-hour rule path. It's time to forget about complaining not having time and actually go there and just creat it. Life is too short to not make the most of it and learning is something that should never stop. Keep up the great content!
How much time is wasted on crap TV?
@@willrichardson519 Little. its mostly wasted on crap social media.
BRAVO! Exceptionally well done - especially in the way you tied together a large number of habits into a cohesive package. Also well referenced.
Everyone needs to be a lifelong learner if they want to be successful
The Life Formula Diagram your Day , and CONCEPTUAL learning
I agree
of course. that's also the thing that separate people.
More knowledge = more problem solving abilities,
More prob sol abilities = more demands
More demands = more money
More money = more resource to build your own empire
More ====|||==== = becoming valuable person
Becoming rare valuable person = hired to work with elite government
Becoming super rare valueable person = work in secret society
and so on until you become one of 1% person people around the world to control humanity in another secret place that never get spot light yet rich as foook .
@@Yue4me You dont become more valueable because you have more money.
And the „Elite-goverment“ step is questionable just like everyone behind it
I tried this, and it brought me in a state of obsession, where I was neither enjoying what I was doing, nor getting better at it.
You have to be okay with “failure” or playing without an expectation during the learning process.
Learning just for the sake of learning is boring and unproductive. I have to have a question about something first, which creates the desire for learning more. Questioning everything is a great way to become "smarter", and is a lot more interesting because it concentrates on your individual interests. Gates, Musk and Buffet didn't spend time studying how best to clean a house.....they just hired someone who did. Having to learn something that doesn't interest you is basically just memorizing, and the knowledge fades from lack of use. Good luck!
So true!!!! Thanks for sharing!!!!! I try to evaluate my learning growth experiences as well. I strive to be more productive and happier in life.
When people ask me how I got so good at my craft...This is the answer. Putting in the time, making learning a priority.
I’m thankful for this video because I’ve struggled with that perceived lack of productivity you mentioned, by deliberately creating these types of “slack” days or hours. I’ve struggled with feeling guilty over not “getting more done” allll the time...Conversely, my whole life I’ve just had this innate sense that I’m building something long-term.
Yay you are so right learning to love to learn has made me happy. Walking right now
I'm literally applying this to math. I'd find myself studying hours for a test and would get nothing out of it. Planning out what you need to work on most and doing it over and over seems to be more efficient than falling asleep watching youtube videos on how to solve for an equation.
I've always placed "the problems that arise during work" into a stack and work on them as a whole afterwards. Might try and try to deal with them when they appear rather than later.
Your Channel is doing so much good to our Generation! Thank You 🙌
It'd be interesting to do some kind of study to see how many of these "millionaire habits" actually influence success and how many are only copied because other successful people did them.
I have the same curiosity. Sometimes I think there may be a misunderstood cause-effect relation in these habits. I mean, maybe they are not "successful" because they read tons of books, instead, they can read tons of books because they are "successful"...

Sure, and you will probably do a lot better at actually being able to absorb that material.
just because you read that doesnt mean you are being productive.
@@Baldoxxx4000 Sure. But I'd think at least a _necessary_ part of being able to achieve proficiency is to _really understand_ what you are reading. And unless you're an exceptionally talented genius, or you have had extensive prior exposure to the material and/or general subject matter, often times that will mean you will need to take it slowly and digest it.

Strangely, there are times when I feel suffocated, my heart beats, and I'm afraid. It is important to overcome fear, but it seems that justification to overcome fear is also important. I want passion to protect me. Thank you for the video.

The video picks out the positive examples, while omitting the negative ones.
My uncle reads every day like a madman. For entertainment, not for learning anything :-)
Your uncle doesn’t follow the rule, which consists of spending ONE hour a day each week day and using a very specific methodology. If you were to use him as an example, it’s solely to demonstrate that reading for entertainment does not produce the same outcome as reading to learn, which requires actively engaging with the concepts covered in the reading materials. 😀

Oh poppycock! What a load of hooey. Hahahahahahaha 😅
And...? I’m not sure what the point of this comment is.
Reading for pleasure isn’t what this video is about, at all. However, even reading for pleasure can do amazing things for a person. There are crazy benefits from reading books, regardless of subject matter as long as they’re enjoyed-

Excellent.. Thank you soo much for putting in the time to make this video...
I used the Franklin Day Planners when I was in College and it helped tremendously. I still think along the same lines when organizing daily and longterm goals. It has become habit even though it has been years since I used the planner.
thanks for posting
You're welcome
It all depends what you're reading and learning. It needs to be something that applies to you at the moment and phase of your life
Loved this clip. Thanks very much. Have saved to "favorites" so i can watch again
Superb idea to think about.. Thank you so much
Now there's Masterclass, Domestika, Skilshare, RUclips, Audible, etc. So many ways to learn!
I watch this video 3 times, I freaking love it! My goal is to try to read 150 books a year, so the way I do it personally, is that I schedule 2 hours out of my day and I take 15 minutes of reading and then I 5 minute break and I repeat that 6 times and I do that 7 days a week which allows me to read through 42 different books per week. Thus on average it takes me between 12 and 16 weeks to read them all to completion, and then I started over again with another 42 books (I also include several magazines in there, specifically ones that have to do with science, engineering, business, finance, leadership, gaming (there was an entrepreneur I hardly game anymore LOL) that kind of thing.... And the occasional car and driver because it is an epically awesome magazine)
It is absolutely incredible how spending just a small amount of your day reading you can accumulate a vast amount of knowledge fairly quickly and really improve your life! Personally I like to spread the field and learn everything from business, physics, engineering, logistics, computers, technology, law, philosophy, marketing, warfare and strategy, and to the occasional Hemingway, David Drake, Allie Brosh, Lovecraft or Shakespeare book. I think it is extraordinairly healthy to cast a wide net and learn as much as possible. Have an awesome day! 😎
Thanks for sharing your schedule!
It sound inconceivable....that mean u read 1.15 hour per day and finish 42 books in 4 months? I read 2 to 3 hrs daily and only managed to finish 6 books in 4 months...🤣are you sure u understand and assimilate around 50% of those books (equal to 75 books annually, which are much are better than those CEO)?
@@fubao99975 some are fast readers. Also, audio books.
I usually read 2 books a month, 24 books a year. One audio book and one paper back.
Wow. You e listed about 25 things to do inside one hour each day, including taking a walk.
And you squashed it all into a 6-minute video.
Thanks, man, I feel a whole lot less suicidal now.
Reading, learning, and doing are key ingredients to living and improving life. Like in cooking, each ingredient interacts to produce results. “Results” are the proof of the pudding, i.e. whatever we think, say, and do ... and practice daily. What we do “daily” determines what happens in 50 years. Now, today ... is good as gold! 🙏
*Bottom line is, constancy is key, but the way you go after it is even more key.*
Consistency*
For the past 10 years I have read on average very close to 250 books each year. That's roughly 4+ hours each day reading. I also added a daily Meditation schedule of 2 hours in the afternoon, every day. These along with getting rid of Cable TV and also choosing to limit myself to my Internet daily experience has brought about tremendous change in my health and life. I know very few people that focus upon Personal Growth, not just as their main focus but any attempt to create time for Personal growth. it is beyond sad that we Americans now have grouped ourselves into various Tribes of a Group Think dynamic. Hardly anyone truly thinks for themselves. And this is showing and very telling as we look at our current situation in this country. So much divisiveness, along with just Pure Hate. We no longer Vote for who we desire but instead Vote AGAINST the candidate of choice. For their are no true candidates but only puppets of the Over-Lord Elites Plutocrats that Own this country and the world around us.
Thank you so much for uploading this video. It is helping me get through the pandemic!
I have to say that books opened up an entire lifestyle for me which is much richer than I would have otherwise had. Reading opens up a world of infinite possibilities and allows a person to move far beyond that which they are born in to and their immediate environment. It is the key to success.
I’m so glad you spammed the word deliberate in this video. I think the lack of deliberate decision making is why people (including myself) fail so badly at accomplishing anything.

I think people avoid learning in order to avoid making mistakes and the negativity they associate with making mistakes from school etc.
If you can embrace making mistakes and realise it’s fine to get things wrong that’s a great platform.
I dislike these "motivational" videos using the most unlikely scenarios, with top executives from top enterprises manking top money to make the argument that doing what Jeff Bezos (Amazon's ceo and richest man) does in the morning, in the afternoon or how they have sex, is going to bring you similar succes when in actuality several thousand life circumstances placed these individuals in their positions.
Interesting how the video does not mention people who are in similar successful positions even though they haven't read anything.
There is a difference between knowledge and intelligence, reading will always give you the former not necessarily the latter.
A term to describe what you mention at first is Survivorship Bias. It's particularly insidious because it effectively means we are ignoring the invisible, which is totally understandable and hard to avoid.
@@jim4588 Very insteresting, James. Never heard the term before but from what I read it leads to overly optimistic assumptions. An example is when media focus on "John, the drop out of college and CEO of XYZ" whilst ignoring a vast pool of talented individuals who did not attain the same success due to several life variables.
"John's" position in life is not the standard and can't be repeated by phisically doing what John did such as waking up at 5am or reading ABC book or dropping out of college. Thanks for sharing the concept.
Yes leo, a great point indeed. however Reading is praised entirely not due to the fact of having intelligence or just gathering knowledge. When one reads self empowerment books, one begin to realize that he/she may have unhealthy habits that are hindering there process and that's where the tire meets the road. there a lot of people who didn't read and yet they have achieve great success, but when you observe what makes them different, one thing stand out, HABITS. Habits in behavior and habits in how one thinks. for most people who are raised in a poverty or who were less fortunate, we tend to develop habits from society that isn't healthy in the long run, strangely enough you may find millions of kids who went to college/university and yet that same large portion still experience many of life disadvantages long after school, while for example one who reads the book rich dad poor dad, immediately realize that with our current economy, high tax rate, and inflation fluctuation, one then understand that being in any form of debt is horrible even forms of student loans and they investment in all forms are a must.While the same persons you mention didn't read however they were fortunate enough to have someone around them to act as a mentor of sorts and thus speeding up there ability to get stuff taking care off.
Unhealthy habits millions of people have develop right across the world. INABILITY TO LEARN NEW SKILLS(majority of people who leave schools tend to stop giving there attention to books or learning in general. work/money is the aim which is strange because majority of which knows little of how money works.
LACK OF PERSEVERANCE (the willingness to give in to pressure and hardship has made millions broke)
TIME MANAGEMENT(too much time is spend watching shows/sports/ and playing game. That time could be spend learning about HEALTH, MONEY, TAXES, ECONOMY etc etc. yes people should learn these stuff for security and comfort and a healthy life is what many is seeking. NOW these are simply habits many people don't know about and the rich are always constantly building these up. People would do well if they found books that aided them in the arena that they want to be in.
You've made fair points and I agree with you on most. I just don't want people to get frustrated because they can't achieve what that one non-standard individual achieved.
One thing is to learn healthy habits, another thing is believing that you are going to be Steve Jobs because you imitated his habits. Most healthy individuals well versed in everything that you mentioned such as economics, tax and so on, are not similar to Steve Job. Strangely we use him as standard whilst ignoring the average individual.
You mentioned playing too much games, however, there are kids making more money than their parents because they are sponsored to play games. That is normal in the eSports industry. However, these kids are non-standard.
Hi Leo. Great observation - that survivorship bias is evident in examples of these success stories. Recognizing biases is an important skillset. It helps one distinguish one's behavior or perspective as perhaps being part of exactly that which you hope to overcome.
However, with all due respect, you are exhibiting a bias yourself - that examples of successful people are poor examples of success because of the potential existence of survivorship bias in their story. To approach a success story with, "that doesn't apply to me because of X" is setting yourself up to diminish any wisdom shared in that story. You may be setting yourself up to miss a nugget of wisdom that lies directly within your bias.
The message I see in this "motivational" video is this: By opening up your awareness to take new information in, you will likely learn something that connects two previously unconnected dots in your life. Additionally, creating a structure around doing so primes your mind to open up even further - its very existence is reinforced as a "dot-connecting" machine. Areas of ones life that were previously unavailable for improvement show up as a new possibility. However, that becomes impossible if the messenger is shot at the door because its source was from a "motivational" video that used an extreme case or example.
One may find one's path through the average or one may find one's path through an outlying statistical improbability. The key is to keep one's eyes open for the path no matter where it comes from.
I wish you the best in finding your path and sharing your wisdom with loved ones and strangers alike.... :)

Most of the time I don’t enjoy conversations. I seem to always get people who won’t stop talking.
So why are you attracted to people that talk to much? Why are you sat with people you don't enjoy?
dsrtflwr It looks like this is an introvert case. I often attract people who talk too much because they feel listened to. Sometimes I just get exhausted and have to quit from everyone and everything, and be in my empty and personal space of reading, writing and thinking.
To those watching who already follow this method naturally -- don't hide your strengths away. Be confident and show your strengths to others - and then keep at it :-). Good luck!
What makes the truly successful people out of people with just good habits is a good portion of "Ambition".
I will follow your advise starting today.
i have some issue with the idea of "successful people do x, so do x and you will be successful" do UNSUCCESSFUL people also do x?
Yes, these things are inevitably going to be extremely complicated with millions of various outcomes for any given subject. That's why it's important not to take people's words for it but to look at the results themselves, and is why any scientist worth a lick of salt won't just use their status as a place of authority. It's important to consider yourself above all else with these types of things, if it fails to work completely then keep searching for what will, however these are the things that typically work and should (at least partially) work for you or myself.
That's a smart question. I'll agree with the previous post ^^ and quote the Bruce Lee philosophy: "Absorb what is useful, discard what is useless"
@happy face It's never as simple as a 0% chance vs a 0.001% chance. There's always a cost associated. In the lottery analogy, you can't win if you don't play...but playing comes at a cost
@happy face that is fallacious reasoning, you assume x is causally linked to success just because successful people do it, this is confusing correlation with causation, but worse still if its just as equally correlated with unsuccessful people there is no reason to think it is causally connected to success.
@happy face and how could you possibly know that without knowing what x is?
true, b/c after a certain point of rigid practice you are actually not adding anything in, jsut fine tuning the same thing. that threshold is just the point where depth in practice doesnt change any macro goals/actions/quality. Diminishing return on investment.
Love this so much! Awesome video
My job forces me to learn and I still study in evenings. Been doing this for 20 years. Stopped with books and transitioned to youtube lectures
same
Me too, basically. They're much better. I don't see the purpose of reading hours and hours to know a 5 minute bit. A smart relative I have makes fun of me, but he's bitch
I love to read and i wish that I had more time to read what I want to and not what I have to .
Hey what books you like reading. gimmi some idea!
Great vid!! Thx!
This video is gold.
Haha I have a 24 hour rule. Listening to your ambitions and body I play with nursing it through and breaking through like a sledgehammer. If I need rest I rest but I have always had a drive to attempt new types of creativity. Everyone should find what works best for them...
Every day is a school day......................................................I am 59.
gavin Reid You’re never too old to learn!
Which grades have you repeated most often?

@@briseboy 1st, then the ones where puberty struck
Why you got many likes
I subbed, high quality content
I love the idea of learning. Thanks for sharing!
☺ We have more time on this quarantine
"Read two hours a day" as i struggle to get through 6 minutes on youtube.
I think at the end of the book, you are supposed to put it down. Not pick up another one...
That's why you do it so you can do better.
You gotta do social media cleansing so you can increase your attention span back to it’s natural capacity. The scrolling makes us addicts to “newness”
@@estherbjerga523 that's so true. I'm going to try that.
10 Minute Mindset [ Eboni_Talks ] hope it works out well :)
I am doing a lot of learning right now because my husband has recently died.. I have to learn everything he knew and did for us. I need to learn how to update my computer, use power tools, keep the chickens healthy and fed, use the tractor... One of the things I am trying to learn is hydroponics, run our finances.... He had begun to master hydroponics. I have only one basil plant to show for my efforts -- we both believe(d) that learning is one of the most important aspects of life. He was learning how to cook last year. I was teaching him how to cook, do crafts. He was teaching me his skills. I use You tube videos a great deal to learn new skills, in fact, I think of it as a library of skillful people, as well as a source of amusement and news. I am also gardening and improving my skills... one of my problems, right now, is putting my life in order.. finding free time to read and do crafts.
very nicely done. i definitely see opportunities for improvement in my learning.
Last year I finished reading about 5 or more academic books. This year I only read like 2 or 3 (non-academic... ScI-fi ) books and the nerd in me felt so incomplete. It’s like I kinda stopped learning
"To the The making of many books there is no end, and they are wearisome to the flesh"....so, still, manage your time not overdoing it
Amazing! thx alot!
Great video thank you
Someone once told me that if you spend 15 minutes a day studying something, you will be an expert in a year.
Its true.,,...I spend 15 minutes a day reading Hustler readers and now Iam a sex expert.
It is very difficult to create a club or find like minded people who are deeply into learning and self improvement. People who read, who keep up with current events and research. Who are open minded to all views(religious political or otherwise).
Yep. Most of the people who _are_ interested are mentally ill or vastly overestimate their abilities, and become a net drag on the progress of other members. The capable candidates are too busy with family/work/play to bother with something so abstract as "self-improvement" unless they think there's a quick buck to be made (e.g. you're a millionaire marketing the club as some kind of seminar). Franklin limited the size of the club to no more than 12, and only admitted new members by invitation and the approval of other members (as he says in his Autobiography). Early on, it's better to stick to topics like science, math, and philosophy, before progressing to politics and religion, which require a lot of trust and good-will.
ryh Very good point!
Up for it!
I read, research and learn things about other religions, worldviews, other languages etc. But "current events" trigger my anxiety so in that case, I just can't. It's better to be ignorant in that regard that constantly on edge. And math? That strikes horror in my heart. I actually have a diagnosed disability in math.
Out of these, readers are probably the easiest to find. There are still people who do read and if you find any of them, maybe you will have other things in common. Maybe just a book club would be a start, though maybe not ideal.
This is what I've done for more than a decade! "Pay yourself First"... I write for 2-3 hours every day staring at 5:30... I also am a thinker, and leave plenty of blank space to learn.
A couple of months I've actually started walking every day for about an hour. It really helped me to focus on my ideas. Now I still need to have time for the execution part 😅
Really good video, thank you. Just as a constructive contribution I would like to point out the term ruminating has been misused here. Some people outside of the psychology environment misunderstand this concept and use it as reflecting on oneself's ideas. Ruminating consists of an uncontrollable repetition of negative thoughts that become an obsession as part of a vicious circle and hinder our productivity and well being, thus not working as a concept for positive reflection.
Taking this chance to learn on how to comment on RUclips videos.
“Great video, the book by Josh W the art of learning might be my next audiobook “
Any feedback on my comment quality?
wow, I do this already, bout time someone else validated it!!!
Learning your passion is success!
To not turn people off from this it should be called 1 hour a day rule
I'd like any & all feedback here, folks. How would you implement a 5 hour rule if you worked 12 hour shifts at a hard physical job that demands solid 7-8 hours of sleep?
5 hours a week so maybe half an hour daily, then the balance at the weekend.
Manual workers in the past had evening classes.
Well you can do your do your ruminating and planning while you're doing your physical labor and I would probably give up TV and watch listen to learning type things and read although you got to do a lot of stuff besides
Make great use in learning with those 4 hours you have open.
Sometimes just having enough interest in learning that you enjoy it and will substitute it for spacing out in front of the tv after work or the mindless talk radio or whatever most people are listening to on their commute. I've done jobs like that where I could listen to podcasts or audiobooks while I worked. To me a philosopy or science podcast is way more entertaining than the typical radio crap that's mostly ads and filler any way. The new bluetooth headphones make that way easier, but I in a pinch I still operate machinery with cheap earbuds under ear muffs. Not to minimise your point, society is basically structured to screw over the working class while keeping us too worn down and distracted to learn that anything better is possible. So it's just a matter of trying to make learning and using your brain a top priority and then figuring out how to squeeze that into your daily life. Also, don't own a tv. I think that's the single biggest thing you can do, get rid of the tv and read instead, fundamentally life changing.
Those are good suggestions the ruminating at work and listening to things but do not let it distract you from your work and I would save pay full attention to your work while you are working unless it's some mindless activity anything you need to focus on to be safe focus on that learn everything you can about your job make it easier and more productive and what's the next step up is anything you can do to increase your mental and physical energy so you have enough to learn and not exhausted I listen to books on tape whatever you call him nowadays there's no tape involved and I can do things don't require too much attentions but my face is not stuck in the phone or watching TV which you don't really learn much from at all find somebody that wants to learn like you and talk with them hope it goes well
Thanks a lot!
Excellent.
