Your room, your car, your bed , your desk , your shop etc …. They are a reflection of the state of your mind. Cleaning and organizing them and keeping them neat is so good for the mind. I’ve discovered that it makes you feel better and it relieves stress. It sounds so simple and insignificant but it does wonders to your psychological state.
so true. im more lost than ive ever been in life. im 23 and ive spent every year that ive been on this earth searching for answers, and its only recently that ive begun to realise that youve gotta come up with your own. everything in your life starts and ends with you.
Felix G. thats good to hear from someone man, i appreciate that. Trying to pick myself back up but this shit is just hard all the time and i was a frustrated and stressed person. I just wanna feel fkin 23 and not 40 anymore. Everything about spirituality and the balance we need to achieve resonated with me...I'm not religious at all but i like to think that our feelings and thoughts are trying to tell us something (maybe that's being spiritual?). I just finished the full interview it was rlly dope this dudes got a lot of perspective on the individual and on people/groups. Ive always looked to creating art (visual/music/etc) as a way to vent, speak, and to just communicate with others but lately its felt a lot like ive lost that connection. I think its time i made contact with that side of myself again. Depression is a shit thing to be dealing with & i dont know how to fight the feeling anymore; he spoke about writing and how it can help restore balance to your mental state. I used to be good at it lol. This dude just made me want to try and do that again. Sorry for the long ass reply, its late, im up thinking & i thought id just yell out into the abyss lol. An outside perspective is a good thing to have i guess.
Vic LTD fuck yeah dude i hear ya... gotta roll with the punches and stay the course. Right now i wouldnt call myself an artist, im just not there yet. for me, that words a title that im gonna chase for the rest of my life, and that thought that keeps me hungry for something better. tbh music is kind of the only thing ive got. i sort of lost that creative flow and the urge to make something from nothing when my feet separated from the ground, and how i felt all the time started to become a thing i noticed a lot more. no whining though, ill be alright, and when i look back im gonna be damn sure that this part of my life happened for a reason. i hope i at least learn something and i hope it gets me closer to that "balance" everyone seems to be really fuckin satisfied with.
ckc kc my dude I'm 23 in 2 weeks. if your not already try going outside in nature for an hour a day it works!! I'm not talking little walking paths through the the forest... Go off the path and run or sit or read or just listen to your thoughts. It's always better than sitting at home debating where to start cleaning your room. Back to Nature baby!!
Finally starting to come out of maybe the worst depression slump of my life ! Cleaned my room today after forever. Did all my laundry which ended up being 4 loads, and got back to going to the gym!
My god this dude helped me save my life. I wanted to start somewhere simple so I could work onward. So I decided to clean my room. And I also took his advice with scheduling and relied on it like I would die if I disobeyed it I can’t control anything in this life besides me, so I might as well learn how to control me I just took time to make a plan on how to clean my room. Then I motivated myself by visualizing the end goal for 5 minutes. Took 15 minute breaks after certain amount of tasks were done. I rewarded myself first by meditating, by imagining my old room, then seeing how it looks now in present time. Then I took responsibility and said “I did that thing!” And stuck with that feeling as long as I could, feeling happy. Organized EVERYTHING Made an oath to keep it that way, or else chaos would ensue After doing that consistently, I decided to add other healthy things gradually over a period of 2 weeks. Made a set bed time, waking time, and meal times. Then I involved a morning routine. Then a night routine. Then I incorporated short term goals that would help me achieve long term goals. Then I incorporated enough breaks and rewards. Then I decided to take time to practice meditation. And visualization of my end goal. Then I decided to not do ANYTHING on Saturdays, besides my night and morning routines This is making me happy and I can’t thank Jordan Peterson enough. Granted I didn’t have a job yet so I had plenty of time. Made time my bitch and decided my goals were my job until I was physically healthy and mentally healthy constantly. Then I decided to work… I’ve worked this job longer than 2 months which is a miracle I helped create.. I thought I could never do that. It’s just a stepping stone, more goals await me. Have hope and love yourself, believe in yourself ❤️
Hadi Hassan if those were fake reports how did multiple children describe his penis? Not saying there weren't any fake reports because they're were but he definitely diddled some kids too
One of my deepest childhood memories is my mom forcing but helping me and my brother to clean our room and learn to handle the vacuum or windex and face the shame that was being caught "shoving stuff under the bed". And that amazing feeling when everything was un-cluttered, good smelling and the air was circulating. I never lost that and I think people doooo benefit from cleaning their room.
Unbelievably wise. Cleaning your room, shows you what your limits are, and what you can do. Once you know your limits and know what you can do, you can only move upward from there. Once you're upward and onward, then you can move to help people, being grounded by the experience of your limitations, which humbles you. "Domain of competence" as he says at 3:29. People angry at the world. Is your room clean? If you cant even clean up your own room. Who the hell are you to give advice to the world. Who the hell are you to preach at me? A humble janitor. My rooms clean and I only feel good about what else I can clean.
It doesn’t sound like much but I always get a bad feeling when I walk into a trashed home or see a mess in the background when I FaceTime someone. Conversely, I am in awe when I see a well kept environment. It calms me down.
i was able to talk to him when i was at my lowest. he told me to clean my room, do the self authoring program (in his words, do them; badly if you have to, but do them), and stick to a carnivore diet. because i have clinical depression, it's extremely difficult to get my life back during an episode, but I always have an out when I'm ready to take that step. im extremely grateful for him in that regard.
My roommate hasn't cleaned his room In years. Last argument he went nuts after I asked him to. Told me he would. It's been almost 2 weeks... he's a loser. Also refuses to drive his car to work. Has his boss feel sorry for him and pick him up. .. he's 38...38! It's amazing.
@@BorisBidjanSaberi11 we , (well he ) failed our city inspection. He didn't even try to clean. Plus rent late. I ended up smoking a bowl and cleaning it. Took 13 large garbage bags, to clean the garbage. He hoards it for no reason... gotta move!
For everyone that took "clean your room" literally, it makes more sense to take what he's saying as symbolic. As in, if you're a messy college kid majoring in Gender Studies and minoring in Indigenous Drum Circle, you don't have much to stand on when you critique the systems that contributed to your relatively painless life. He's saying be humble, open your mind, listen to everyone, and get some life experience under your belt.
He also means it literally. Because cleaning your room and keeping it organized means you’re organizing it in accordance with how you life your life. It’s crucial to have a space where you can work and get things done, and once you’ve obtained that you can start organizing your actual day around it, and thus hopefully stay motivated. It’s learning to organize but it’s also a exercise in discovering what you want to occupy your time with
JRE is one of my favorite podcasts of all time, on so many levels. Having said that, when I hear "Hello, freak-bitches," I want to kick Joe in the teeth as hard as I can. Every time.
WHy is it annoying or cringy as someone said. It's just going with the whole I am insulting you thing because I like you. Like Rick saying my Glib GLobs
What he is talking about is what Stephen Covey talks about in his "7 Habits of Highly Effective People" book, where he talks about people's circle of influence and their circle of concern. These two should be balanced and expanding. A circle of influence larger than its circle of concern is the mark of the selfish individual, whereas the circle of concern greater than the circle of influence is the mark of the deluded. Very insightful remarks by Dr Peterson there.
Extremely valid points. Jordan Peterson is dope. But, I also think that it’s a delicate balance. As humans, we are and will forever be works in progress, constantly fixing and tweaking who we are to become better versions of ourselves. While this will always be an essential element to who we are as a people, it should not completely stop us from attempting to make an impact on the outside world. If this were the case at all times, then we would never make any real attempts to illicit change. We are all flawed beings, and while Jordan is right with us needing to initially focus on cleaning up our own mess, we shouldn’t let that completely stop us from positively impacting our surroundings.
The vast majority of mind-blowing science discoveries have been COUNTER-INTUITIVE. From quantum mechanics, when things can be in more than one place, to relativity, when time passes to different rates depending on velocity or the presence of mass, deep truths are not obvious and require REFLECTION and CONTRAST/TESTING. We naturally are morons, not wise men. Intuition is a voice, the command must come from reason. I'm sorry but your advice is just populist feel-good nonsense
Honestly. The radical left has pushed me more right every single day. This reminds me of the “fat acceptance movement” where we’ve got extremely unhealthy people dictating what other people can and cannot say or do just because they are trying to shape society around their own laziness and insecurities.
I feel that. I feel so confounded by the direction they’ve been going and I’m not radical in any way but Trudeau, I’m Canadian, has purposely destroyed our economy, turned ppl against each other and created a lot of hatred with his lies and divisiveness. Voting Liberal would be to vote against fiscal responsibility and moral accountability. I never thought I’d agree with Matt Walsh but I watched his doc “What is a Woman” and it was impossible to debate.
I just love that this super intelectual man is having this very well explained theory about what all grandmas would say " clean your room" 😂 Of course I do believe he is so right. I just love how seriously he talks sometimes that even " clean your room" seems so solemn
That does not change the fact that the people with the dirtiest rooms have the most power. You don't have to be a super awesome motivated succesfull person to have the right to point at injustice.
When Peterson say "clean up your room", ok I can do that and that is fine. But that is the literal interpretation. So let us jump out of the literal; then "clean up your room" becomes: Set your thougts in order - Set your feelings in order - Set your whole life in order - Do all you can to help others set their life in order - Work and behave so the World gets set in order.
I don't agree with everything Peterson discusses in regards to politics, but I have a lot of respect for the man. His advice on "cleaning your room" is excellent especially in a materialistic culture that emphasizes focus on measuring oneself against ridiculous and cosmetic external standards. His advice is stoic and pragmatic.
I’m going to record cleaning up my room/turning it into my own castle. Unfortunately due to bankruptcy I’ve had to move back to my mums. I’m going to be documenting how I improve all areas of my life and thought it would be good to start from the beginning.
It's true that completing small goals can be encouraging. It's true that it's good to have some direction in life. It's true that one should work on oneself. It's also true that protests and organizing and working in collaboration with other people is extremely important and effective, and that we can and should understand the economic system we live in. It's true that a million geniuses have messy rooms. This is what's so fluffy about Peterson- he's good at elaborating on truisms. The uneducated person will eat this up, especially, and that's OK. But if you want to learn something about the world, put these guys aside and study the real teachers and talk with one another about our current situation and the true problems we face.
As I look around my room right now, honestly, I’m not sure it’s ever been this messy… and guess what, my life and mental state is a mess too. Interesting…🤨 I know exactly how I’ll be spending my day.🤘
its not hard to keep your room clean if you love it when its clean and feel frustrated when its a mess i know because thats the way i am so everything is clean outside and inside restrooms kitchen bedrooms everything clean and organized that's very important
This isn't just for people who are never tidy. I used to be obsessive about organization and lately I feel like a slob. Things change, people change, life happens, don't throw in the towel!
I spent 2 hours cleaning my room today, and now i feel great for some reason, i think we need a twitter handle with people putting up picks of before and afters :D #CleanedMyRoom
There’s actually a punk-folk artist a while back that made a song called ‘who does the dishes’. Implying who does the dishes after the revolution. He says he does them now and he’ll do them then. Its always the ones that don’t, that ask that fucking question.
“Clean your room first” Honestly I don’t know why Jordan Peterson catches a lot of pushback for that. It’s incredibly practical and factual. If your own life is not in order and there are things that warrant rectifying because they are impairing; then why would you justly attempt to execute a position of you knowing what’s good for someone else and the world respectfully. But we know why people do this. It’s easier to focus externally on something that’s removed from your own personal purview, then deal with your own chaos
There's nothing wrong with focusing on yourself when you have nothing together for practical efficiency. That's kinda the obvious thing to do, and what most people gravitate towards when they get a spur of motivation. I don't really like the political spin he adds to that generic (but good, IMO) life advice. Just because you're not a 100% self-actualized person doesn't mean you can't be rightfully outraged about things going on in the world. You might be right about some things, dead wrong about others, but I sure am not smug enough to make such a blanket judgment about what every non-actualized person should or shouldn't do.
@@roy4922 outraged is one thing. Anger is an emotion. Feel it. Embrace it. It’s cathartic. Now on to the larger pitfall here….adopting ‘pseudo moralistic’ stances on large scale social issues so you look socially conscious or intelligent to others who are around to perceive you, is an all together vastly separate thing Let’s throw an example in the pot. Do you really believe that someone say whose gender is constantly influx, changing week to week male to female then maybe to a cat, then back to male or female etc. you know attention seeking behavior…do you really feel such an individual has a prudent grasp or is an a position to dispense sound advice on well much of anything in the form of a ‘directive’ on how the world should be
I'm definitely not one of these millennials that has learned to just point fingers, but I do have a simple enough life, though messy now because of unfortunate things that happened to me over the past eight years, to know when I see others screwing up the world for many ...because Joe and Jordan, sometimes it's the outside world that caused those people to be fucked up on the inside. In this day and age of self-help hipsters claiming how well-adjusted they are, and that nothing can hold you down, we get swept into unrealistic expectations from endlessly different starting points, and endless differences in mentalities that weren't necessarily "fucked up on the inside", starting out. I say this because yes, I'm somewhat of an example. From a guy back in the '80s who wouldn't think twice of letting dirty socks lie on the floor, a payment to get by, or not brushing his teeth after every meal... to some bad luck (yes I said luck) in the form of an accident and life-changing health problems... my mentality has changed so much that I can sit here realizing what's wrong and can't change it. Not long enough to help myself anyway. I now know very much what it's like to be addictive, not care about myself and eat wrong, not do the right thing when I'm sick and not care much about being there for others. I look for ways to feel better temporarily, and can't find a way out because I give up so quickly. My sleep has gone from the average 7 to 8 hours a night from childhood through my 20's to now barely getting 3 hours a night. Drugs and other treatment, advice, etc... to help myself sleep or otherwise live better, is always temporary and never quite what people claim. It's never as good as advertised. Again, I am not happy with people about vagueness with the medications, and the doctors not up front about my surgery or recovery instructions. I see problems in everything now and not with hope like 20 years ago. It makes things seem to never work out for me, yet the problems I noticed are very real. It's just that people are so much better than I abut putting bandaids on those problems. Even the petty stuff; almost every service I get, for my car, for food, health, repairs to my shitty little home, always seems to go wrong. Somebody always does a half-assed job and causes complicated messes leaving me unsatisfied. I see people cutting others (myself especially) off in car and foot traffic when they should without a doubt have waited, because the circumstances logically showed them to be out of synch and they don't care. I hear people with a good idea or solution getting talked over all the time by others (usually young) who simply believe their words need to be heard and just bull through conversations, causing further confusion later because the quiet, more experienced, logical old guy had to wait while others talked louder and faster. So I've seen all kinds of problems with swindlers, the environment, misbalanced things in the world for decades, and understood much when I was quite young, but my life is now a mess. This does not mean I don't understand that my life could have been different, and that life outside of my little world can change for the better. I don't have to keep my life as clean and organized as it used to be for me to remember all the screwed up things in the world that I would have never done. I'm no genius, but the stupid decisions made by world leaders and "successful" ass holes and bitches over the years I've been alive wouldn't have been made by me. My lack of understanding the economy only comes from my not wanting to screw it up in the first place, and not wanting to believe in loans, and constantly trying to get more for less. I'm not a young punk trying to fix the economy... but I certainly knew how to not screw it up in the first place. I don't have to clean my room to know that.
I know this was three years ago this was posted, and I can understand what you tried to say. However, that doesn't mean I don't take issue with it. What you have done was give up on any hope of working for better in favor of comfortably living in hell. We've all been through horrible stuff that we couldn't help. Hell, I was born to drug addicts, and started with nothing but a path to demise. HOWEVER, I never allowed that to keep me down, and I've always worked to live better. I may not be able to change what may happen to me, but I certainly can change how that affects me. I cannot blame the world for my own inability to clean myself up, and you shouldn't either. From what I read, you've refused to clean yourself, and I hate to say it, but you only have yourself to blame for that. The world can be a very cruel and backstabbing place, but that doesn't mean you cannot protect yourself from it. If you want any hope of improving your own life, you need to start taking initiative for your own issues and stop blaming/relying on others, for nothing can ever be achieved if you don't work to get it. Otherwise, should you choose to continue your path, then you're only dooming yourself to living in hell, and no one can be blamed for that. Now, I may still be young and optimistic, but even I can see that I have to keep cleaning my room despite others' attempts to trash it.
This actually the only part of the interview I disagree with. A lot of people are bullshitting about economics Some part of it might be hard but someone can get a pretty good understanding about it at 18. I Did and have a degree in administration that included around 15 economics class. When I was 18 I already had strong opinion the economics system with all the lobbying and corruption its really easy to find problems in it. The part about cleaning your room No one is perfect maybe cleaning your room is not your strong point its like saying everyone who is fat don't really get to say their opinions but they are not good at taking care of their body. Where is is said that you an't be good in economics and fat?
I'd agree with him to a certain extent but if you have a person who's brilliant in their field but crap at keeping their room tidy then don't try to take up their time getting them to tidy their room, let them work haha
imagine you have a map in your had of your city and the city changes every week. You are going to waste a lot of energy and time to figure out how to get from point A to B. The outside is a reflection of your inside. Do you notice how easy it is to clean up a room thats not yours ?cuz there is no being of you that is a reflection of your inside. Dont let yourself get comfortable in dirty rooms , cuz that means your are comfortable with living in hell !
everybody can give their contribution to salving any problem regardless of your age, color, gender, size, social status, your looks and finances it doesn't matter, what matters is what your capable of doing and that's what they fear about you. they, the ones who run the show are afraid of what your capable of doing so they depress you making you think your not good enough at whatever it is you want to do making you think your a failure stopping you from believing in yourself don't let them conquer you but RISE Children of The Light!
Your room, your car, your bed , your desk , your shop etc …. They are a reflection of the state of your mind. Cleaning and organizing them and keeping them neat is so good for the mind.

So I decided to clean my room.
And I also took his advice with scheduling and relied on it like I would die if I disobeyed it
I can’t control anything in this life besides me, so I might as well learn how to control me
I just took time to make a plan on how to clean my room. Then I motivated myself by visualizing the end goal for 5 minutes.
Took 15 minute breaks after certain amount of tasks were done. I rewarded myself first by meditating, by imagining my old room, then seeing how it looks now in present time.
Then I took responsibility and said “I did that thing!” And stuck with that feeling as long as I could, feeling happy.
Organized EVERYTHING
Made an oath to keep it that way, or else chaos would ensue
After doing that consistently, I decided to add other healthy things gradually over a period of 2 weeks.
Made a set bed time, waking time, and meal times.
Then I involved a morning routine. Then a night routine.
Then I incorporated short term goals that would help me achieve long term goals. Then I incorporated enough breaks and rewards.
Then I decided to take time to practice meditation. And visualization of my end goal.
Then I decided to not do ANYTHING on Saturdays, besides my night and morning routines
This is making me happy and I can’t thank Jordan Peterson enough. Granted I didn’t have a job yet so I had plenty of time. Made time my bitch and decided my goals were my job until I was physically healthy and mentally healthy constantly. Then I decided to work… I’ve worked this job longer than 2 months which is a miracle I helped create.. I thought I could never do that.

But also literally clean your room because it promotes a habit of cleanliness and responsibility that helps you in other areas of your life.
He also means it literally. Because cleaning your room and keeping it organized means you’re organizing it in accordance with how you life your life. It’s crucial to have a space where you can work and get things done, and once you’ve obtained that you can start organizing your actual day around it, and thus hopefully stay motivated.
It’s learning to organize but it’s also a exercise in discovering what you want to occupy your time with
He means it literally, when you start doing it literally you understand it can be applied to every other field as well.
JRE is one of my favorite podcasts of all time, on so many levels. Having said that, when I hear "Hello, freak-bitches," I want to kick Joe in the teeth as hard as I can. Every time.
Ive seen too many people make this same point, I think its time he knows
I don't get it explain.
It's so damn cringey.
You *Freaks* always wanna complain when the finger is pointed at you. *BITCHES*
WHy is it annoying or cringy as someone said. It's just going with the whole I am insulting you thing because I like you. Like Rick saying my Glib GLobs
My room is spotless.

Dr. Peterson is brilliant for this.
What he is talking about is what Stephen Covey talks about in his "7 Habits of Highly Effective People" book, where he talks about people's circle of influence and their circle of concern. These two should be balanced and expanding. A circle of influence larger than its circle of concern is the mark of the selfish individual, whereas the circle of concern greater than the circle of influence is the mark of the deluded. Very insightful remarks by Dr Peterson there.
To change anything, you must start in your own house first.
Social workers usually have their life in a wreck and their homes are usually disgusting.
Extremely valid points. Jordan Peterson is dope. But, I also think that it’s a delicate balance. As humans, we are and will forever be works in progress, constantly fixing and tweaking who we are to become better versions of ourselves. While this will always be an essential element to who we are as a people, it should not completely stop us from attempting to make an impact on the outside world. If this were the case at all times, then we would never make any real attempts to illicit change. We are all flawed beings, and while Jordan is right with us needing to initially focus on cleaning up our own mess, we shouldn’t let that completely stop us from positively impacting our surroundings.
Powerful shit, I’ll start cleaning
Great interviews Joe . Keep it up
I miss this Jordan... but alas I love all that Jordan has taught me.
Meaning? Not hate just curious.
30 seconds in stopped the video and cleaned my entire room :)
this man has done so much for me...
Jordan is king
The messiest room is the mind, follow your intuition, follow your heart, the mind is a beast. Meditation is the space program for the soul.
The vast majority of mind-blowing science discoveries have been COUNTER-INTUITIVE.
From quantum mechanics, when things can be in more than one place, to relativity, when time passes to different rates depending on velocity or the presence of mass, deep truths are not obvious and require REFLECTION and CONTRAST/TESTING.
We naturally are morons, not wise men. Intuition is a voice, the command must come from reason.
I'm sorry but your advice is just populist feel-good nonsense
"Let him that would move the world, first move himself."
Honestly. The radical left has pushed me more right every single day. This reminds me of the “fat acceptance movement” where we’ve got extremely unhealthy people dictating what other people can and cannot say or do just because they are trying to shape society around their own laziness and insecurities.
I feel that. I feel so confounded by the direction they’ve been going and I’m not radical in any way but Trudeau, I’m Canadian, has purposely destroyed our economy, turned ppl against each other and created a lot of hatred with his lies and divisiveness. Voting Liberal would be to vote against fiscal responsibility and moral accountability. I never thought I’d agree with Matt Walsh but I watched his doc “What is a Woman” and it was impossible to debate.
So simplistic yet brilliant. Wooow
damn that guy is making a shit ton of sense I need to clean my room
k n o w l e d g e
Update: My room is clean
@@IGotCraZLegs 😤 🙅🏼♂️🥶💯
my room is super clean. for my career I help kids who have suffered trauma. but my underwear all have shit stains. am I a bad person?
thersten for some reason I can't tell if this is real or a troll haha
I bet its true which makes it even more funnier
That ain't real, though.
this man is no troll. Yes i just assumed your gender
This comment made my day! ty
I am 35 and it's also useful for me
Cleaning your room is 🔑
🥂🫧
🏁
This came at an impeccable moment.
a true genius
I just love that this super intelectual man is having this very well explained theory about what all grandmas would say " clean your room" 😂
Of course I do believe he is so right. I just love how seriously he talks sometimes that even " clean your room" seems so solemn
Wow! My grama will tell me that 25 years ago!!!! Sob kinda brought tears to my eyes!
That does not change the fact that the people with the dirtiest rooms have the most power. You don't have to be a super awesome motivated succesfull person to have the right to point at injustice.
That’s the meanest hello if heard 😢
Jordan Peterson spittin some science
Thank you for this, very helpful.
When Peterson say "clean up your room", ok I can do that and that is fine. But that is the literal interpretation. So let us jump out of the literal; then "clean up your room" becomes: Set your thougts in order - Set your feelings in order - Set your whole life in order - Do all you can to help others set their life in order - Work and behave so the World gets set in order.
I miss this Jordan Peterson
He is the best
I don't agree with everything Peterson discusses in regards to politics, but I have a lot of respect for the man. His advice on "cleaning your room" is excellent especially in a materialistic culture that emphasizes focus on measuring oneself against ridiculous and cosmetic external standards. His advice is stoic and pragmatic.
I’m going to record cleaning up my room/turning it into my own castle.
Unfortunately due to bankruptcy I’ve had to move back to my mums.
I’m going to be documenting how I improve all areas of my life and thought it would be good to start from the beginning.
It's true that completing small goals can be encouraging. It's true that it's good to have some direction in life. It's true that one should work on oneself. It's also true that protests and organizing and working in collaboration with other people is extremely important and effective, and that we can and should understand the economic system we live in. It's true that a million geniuses have messy rooms.
This is what's so fluffy about Peterson- he's good at elaborating on truisms. The uneducated person will eat this up, especially, and that's OK. But if you want to learn something about the world, put these guys aside and study the real teachers and talk with one another about our current situation and the true problems we face.
As I look around my room right now, honestly, I’m not sure it’s ever been this messy… and guess what, my life and mental state is a mess too. Interesting…🤨
I know exactly how I’ll be spending my day.🤘
'Clean your room'
'Praise JP in all of his infinite wisdom!!!!!!'
😂
man.. i had to hear that. Thanks!
the whole time, I'm like "what?"
Jordan Peterson "Clean your room"
Me: *Looks around my room*
😬😬😬
Nature is chaotic and random, and so is my room.. haha. I don't go out protesting either..
its not hard to keep your room clean if you love it when its clean and feel frustrated when its a mess i know because thats the way i am so everything is clean outside and inside restrooms kitchen bedrooms everything clean and organized that's very important
This isn't just for people who are never tidy.
I used to be obsessive about organization and lately I feel like a slob.
Things change, people change, life happens, don't throw in the towel!
I spent 2 hours cleaning my room today, and now i feel great for some reason, i think we need a twitter handle with people putting up picks of before and afters :D #CleanedMyRoom
There’s actually a punk-folk artist a while back that made a song called ‘who does the dishes’. Implying who does the dishes after the revolution. He says he does them now and he’ll do them then. Its always the ones that don’t, that ask that fucking question.
Damn you JP why you gta expose me like that 😅🤷🏻♂️🤣
Wise words
This is everything
We dont have time to clean our rooms. We are too busy talking about Lebron James on twitter.
I'm not on twitter, and don't care who Lebron James is. 99% of the world is the same.

“Clean your room first” Honestly I don’t know why Jordan Peterson catches a lot of pushback for that. It’s incredibly practical and factual. If your own life is not in order and there are things that warrant rectifying because they are impairing; then why would you justly attempt to execute a position of you knowing what’s good for someone else and the world respectfully. But we know why people do this. It’s easier to focus externally on something that’s removed from your own personal purview, then deal with your own chaos
There's nothing wrong with focusing on yourself when you have nothing together for practical efficiency. That's kinda the obvious thing to do, and what most people gravitate towards when they get a spur of motivation. I don't really like the political spin he adds to that generic (but good, IMO) life advice. Just because you're not a 100% self-actualized person doesn't mean you can't be rightfully outraged about things going on in the world. You might be right about some things, dead wrong about others, but I sure am not smug enough to make such a blanket judgment about what every non-actualized person should or shouldn't do.
@@roy4922 outraged is one thing. Anger is an emotion. Feel it. Embrace it. It’s cathartic. Now on to the larger pitfall here….adopting ‘pseudo moralistic’ stances on large scale social issues so you look socially conscious or intelligent to others who are around to perceive you, is an all together vastly separate thing
Let’s throw an example in the pot.
Do you really believe that someone say whose gender is constantly influx, changing week to week male to female then maybe to a cat, then back to male or female etc. you know attention seeking behavior…do you really feel such an individual has a prudent grasp or is an a position to dispense sound advice on well much of anything in the form of a ‘directive’ on how the world should be
Genius
I'm definitely not one of these millennials that has learned to just point fingers, but I do have a simple enough life, though messy now because of unfortunate things that happened to me over the past eight years, to know when I see others screwing up the world for many
...because Joe and Jordan, sometimes it's the outside world that caused those people to be fucked up on the inside. In this day and age of self-help hipsters claiming how well-adjusted they are, and that nothing can hold you down, we get swept into unrealistic expectations from endlessly different starting points, and endless differences in mentalities that weren't necessarily "fucked up on the inside", starting out.
I say this because yes, I'm somewhat of an example. From a guy back in the '80s who wouldn't think twice of letting dirty socks lie on the floor, a payment to get by, or not brushing his teeth after every meal... to some bad luck (yes I said luck) in the form of an accident and life-changing health problems... my mentality has changed so much that I can sit here realizing what's wrong and can't change it. Not long enough to help myself anyway.
I now know very much what it's like to be addictive, not care about myself and eat wrong, not do the right thing when I'm sick and not care much about being there for others.
I look for ways to feel better temporarily, and can't find a way out because I give up so quickly.
My sleep has gone from the average 7 to 8 hours a night from childhood through my 20's to now barely getting 3 hours a night. Drugs and other treatment, advice, etc... to help myself sleep or otherwise live better, is always temporary and never quite what people claim. It's never as good as advertised. Again, I am not happy with people about vagueness with the medications, and the doctors not up front about my surgery or recovery instructions.
I see problems in everything now and not with hope like 20 years ago. It makes things seem to never work out for me, yet the problems I noticed are very real. It's just that people are so much better than I abut putting bandaids on those problems.
Even the petty stuff; almost every service I get, for my car, for food, health, repairs to my shitty little home, always seems to go wrong. Somebody always does a half-assed job and causes complicated messes leaving me unsatisfied.
I see people cutting others (myself especially) off in car and foot traffic when they should without a doubt have waited, because the circumstances logically showed them to be out of synch and they don't care.
I hear people with a good idea or solution getting talked over all the time by others (usually young) who simply believe their words need to be heard and just bull through conversations, causing further confusion later because the quiet, more experienced, logical old guy had to wait while others talked louder and faster.
So I've seen all kinds of problems with swindlers, the environment, misbalanced things in the world for decades, and understood much when I was quite young, but my life is now a mess. This does not mean I don't understand that my life could have been different, and that life outside of my little world can change for the better. I don't have to keep my life as clean and organized as it used to be for me to remember all the screwed up things in the world that I would have never done. I'm no genius, but the stupid decisions made by world leaders and "successful" ass holes and bitches over the years I've been alive wouldn't have been made by me. My lack of understanding the economy only comes from my not wanting to screw it up in the first place, and not wanting to believe in loans, and constantly trying to get more for less. I'm not a young punk trying to fix the economy... but I certainly knew how to not screw it up in the first place.
I don't have to clean my room to know that.
I did not read this
I know this was three years ago this was posted, and I can understand what you tried to say. However, that doesn't mean I don't take issue with it. What you have done was give up on any hope of working for better in favor of comfortably living in hell. We've all been through horrible stuff that we couldn't help. Hell, I was born to drug addicts, and started with nothing but a path to demise. HOWEVER, I never allowed that to keep me down, and I've always worked to live better. I may not be able to change what may happen to me, but I certainly can change how that affects me. I cannot blame the world for my own inability to clean myself up, and you shouldn't either. From what I read, you've refused to clean yourself, and I hate to say it, but you only have yourself to blame for that. The world can be a very cruel and backstabbing place, but that doesn't mean you cannot protect yourself from it. If you want any hope of improving your own life, you need to start taking initiative for your own issues and stop blaming/relying on others, for nothing can ever be achieved if you don't work to get it. Otherwise, should you choose to continue your path, then you're only dooming yourself to living in hell, and no one can be blamed for that. Now, I may still be young and optimistic, but even I can see that I have to keep cleaning my room despite others' attempts to trash it.
This actually the only part of the interview I disagree with.
A lot of people are bullshitting about economics Some part of it might be hard but someone can get a pretty good understanding about it at 18. I Did and have a degree in administration that included around 15 economics class. When I was 18 I already had strong opinion the economics system with all the lobbying and corruption its really easy to find problems in it.
The part about cleaning your room No one is perfect maybe cleaning your room is not your strong point its like saying everyone who is fat don't really get to say their opinions but they are not good at taking care of their body. Where is is said that you an't be good in economics and fat?
start with yourself. I don't even have to hear the rest of the clip. I think that's precisely why we see many holes most people's protests
Dont protest, memes are more effective
I'd agree with him to a certain extent but if you have a person who's brilliant in their field but crap at keeping their room tidy then don't try to take up their time getting them to tidy their room, let them work haha
#NotAllMessyPeople amiright yo
imagine you have a map in your had of your city and the city changes every week. You are going to waste a lot of energy and time to figure out how to get from point A to B.
The outside is a reflection of your inside.
Do you notice how easy it is to clean up a room thats not yours ?cuz there is no being of you that is a reflection of your inside. Dont let yourself get comfortable in dirty rooms , cuz that means your are comfortable with living in hell !
He says to stop procrastinating, so I wrote my essay on cleaning your room.
"A bit on the pretentious side I suppose". At least he's honest.
"If you cant even clean up your own room, then who the hellare you to give advice to the world?" THIS. He devoured with that one; cleaning rn!
Fantastic
damn good message
It seems to be the same idea as "leading others by example."
powerful words with nothing but truth behind them. love this
everybody can give their contribution to salving any problem regardless of your age, color, gender, size, social status, your looks and finances it doesn't matter, what matters is what your capable of doing and that's what they fear about you. they, the ones who run the show are afraid of what your capable of doing so they depress you making you think your not good enough at whatever it is you want to do making you think your a failure stopping you from believing in yourself don't let them conquer you but RISE Children of The Light!
being disorganized is one thing being filthy is completely another.
"Solve the puzzles infront of you" deep
There is a problem for me.... I DON'T HAVE A ROOM, i mean.....i sleep in my brother's room lol
Who else looked around their room and instead of cleaning it decided they'd rather just keep their opinions to themselves?
