    This time three years ago, failing multiple classes as a college freshmen I watched this video and cried for hours. The turn around for me began with Jordan’s advice in this video and continues to this day. The main things I have done are delete my Twitter and Instagram as I was addicted to them, as well as spend countless hours creating an enticing study environment which would make me want to study. What really worked was actually putting my video game monitor directly next to my computer monitor so the work space was more inviting. I Just got accepted into my transfer university for Mechanical Engineering and I can honestly say it would not have happened if it weren’t for this video.

    I got stuck in college for extra 2 years because of procrastinating. I wasted most of my time playing video games, going out and never wanted to study or even start an assignment. Eventually, I started becoming very depressed and had a lot of anxiety thinking about my future. As soon as a new semester started, I promised myself that I won't procrastinate and will start doing assignments on the first day, I wish I had done that before. I finally graduated and received my degree. All I can say is this, do NOT get distracted. Do NOT think that starting an assignment is gonna drain your energy because it won't, once you start doing it you'll keep on writing and get in the zone. Keep on going and don't do what I did. All you need is to wake up and realize that you've got a future ahead of you and you need to get out of this obstacle.

    A thorough, clear, concise and actionable summary:
    1. Daily Scheduling
    a. Schedule for the day you want (to be very efficient).
    b. Negotiate with yourself the best balance of opportunity, enjoyment and health.
    c. Does this plan care for me?
    d. What junk can I eliminate?
    2. Schedule Review:
    a. How accurate was my plan?
    b. How can I improve its accuracy?
    c. Did it improve me?
    3. Scheduling over time
    a. Set goals for yourself (in all aspects).
    b. Modify your goals as you develop.
    c. Keep a routine (for health and productivity).
    d. Improve things within your sphere of influence.
    4. Your Influence
    a. Writing (and learning how to) strongly develops how you think, discuss and influence.
    b. We are all nodes in a network that influence and effect each other (and therefore matter).

It took time but now I own two businesses, have a nice big house, have my dream car and then I met my teacher again and she said exactly what I wanted to hear - "You are better than you were back then". Only secret is - make your efforts bigger than your excuses.

    Maybe I spend too much time in mental health and self help circles, but so many people tell me I'm crazy to have to negotiate with myself, that I should just get in a mindset where I want to do it, and it's so unfair!

At this point I feel like I'm heading nowhere with my career nor my education. What are my interests? What are my goals? Where do I see myself in 5 years? How am I to answer all of this? How many times do I have to lie in motivation letters?
    I feel after this video it takes guts and grit to start one step at a time. I must start by having the most productive one hour now and hopefully 2. Let's start at that and climb up lads. We're all in this together and i hope that everyone reading this has a great day and hopefully a great exciting life ahead of you!

    Watching this video reminded me that one of the most eye-opening perspectives that got me through to make good choices early on is being pessimistic. Pessimism may push me to look at every single negative thing in everything, but it’s helped me see the reality to do better, focus on my weaknesses, and live life through this ugly, imperfect world. I have insulted, undermined, or blamed people around me for their wrongs and flaws, but criticism may have helped the other person from a worse outcome. Not to say that the way I treat people in a passive aggressive way is my motto, but it’s my reaction if someone does wrong to me. I still hold to this principle, but I know that life can be better for others than this way. My benefits were less regrets, high expectations/goals, disciplined character, already meeting up to lots of advice given to me, and getting ahead in life.

This is heck of a sermon and I'm so grateful I get to listen to this while I still can, and so so thankful for the one who introduced me to Professor Jordan Peterson. I'm blown away and grounded at the same time: it's crazy and does truly make sense! I am not on my own, indeed. Everything matters and I affect everyone. This is the kind of "get your sht together" we need to our faces but with the purest intention and purpose! THANK YOU SO MUCH! No best time than now :)

So a good lesson is : do not let your kids push you around--they will love you & be thankful for your wise, no nonsense guidance !!! That's what we get from J. Peterson !!

    NO - you need to learn to think. Thinking makes u act effectively in the world, thinking makes u win the battles u undertake & those could be battles for good things" -best thing I've heard in a while
    For other students struggling to study and who thinks your gaining nothing.
    As someone who was struggling to find purpose to study for exams, which I have right now. This really showed me a different perspective of studies. I completely agree with it, from creating a well-thought out schedule to learning how to stay focused & disciplined while studying, as well as, changing my mindset from a " ugh I have to study now cause I have to stay disciplined" to a "I actually get to study and want to atleast try and find interest in it". These are qualities that's needed in this world in order to make progress in something. I finally see some kind of benefit when studying - even if I won't use exactly what I'm studying rn and the grade that I get won't matter much in a couple years. I will gain more than I think through this, as well as improve my grades heh ;)

    I did something, quite simple, that can serve other people: I eliminated the notifications of all the apps on my cell phone (I only left some essential ones as a battery), I eliminated all the social media apps (if I want to access one I have to open a browser , and since that sometimes takes more time and the experience is not the same because I hardly use social networks), I installed an app blocker (I use it to block RUclips and to avoid reading the newspapers). I have been like this for months and I can say that I feel better ..... I feel that if obstacles are added to an activity, the brain by itself is lazy to perform them and inevitably you will spend less time. I took a course (Learn to learn) and I understood that willpower is better to use it in a few cases, using it too often exhausts you physically and emotionally. Regarding planning, I feel that it is something that is continually being improved. What I have difficulties with is that I try to work at least 12 to 16 hours a day, and many times I am hard on myself. It is something I must work on. But I'd rather criticize myself for working too much than for not working or wasting time.

    I watched this video to practice my English listening, and after a saw it I got very motivated to keep going. I will continue learning things and I think everyone should, because life is about it, not just about one subject specifically, like your work and so, they can be lots of them! And it is very satisfying when you realice that you're actually learning something and you can use it in your life. Sometimes I feel very anxious about how my future will be, because we can never be sure about what is going ti be, therefore I prefer to just enjoy the moment, but as many of us can see, it is no very useful for us, not for our live and economy, nor for our mental stability. So, in order to feel more fullfilled we have to take care of the things we want, and the things we think we want because we may be doing things just to fill somebodyelse's expectations.

This man has faced these issues head on in his own way, and wishes for nothing but others to never feel that pain, or confusion. When listening to this man, step back for a minute. Stop being in the moment. Think of what his words would mean directly if he were personally talking to you.
    I say "this man" and not his name because around his name is controversy.
    The lessons this man has learned, regardless of political view, are beneficial to humanity.

About a month ago I started reliably getting up between 4 and 5 (This is one of the things I started working on at the beginning two years ago), I'm working out, and finally becoming the person I've always wanted to be. I still have a shit ton to work on and still probably waste half my day but... I tell you people. Just start. And every time you fail just try again. I've probably failed countless times just trying to get myself to get up early in the morning, and it fuckin sucks. But just keep going at it.

      My biggest and only regret in life is spending >50% of those precious years surfing the internet and playing games. I ended up learning to read and speak Japanese in the process by playing games and watching cartoons in Japanese, but I still wish I'd have spent more time reading college level textbooks on STEM subjects instead.
      That said I don't think all games are an absolute waste of time. I don't regret playing any Soulsborne games for one; they really build character and I'll probably have my kids play them in the future, too. Same with Trails series games.

    I didn't have the motivation or maturity to take care of responsibilities in education right after high school , so I joined the military. It forced me to prioritize my life and helped me to grow. Although I initially planned to only stay four years and then go to college, I ended up staying for 22 years. I found full-time employment after retiring and began school a few years later. It was a whole new game this time--my focus and dedication to goals allowed me to complete a STEM bachelor and master's degrees in only fours years, both with high honors--all while still working full-time. I planned a 'front load' method where I would work the hardest on the first three days of the week and finish all coursework by Friday. I rarely had to spend any weekends studying or completing assignments. Self-discipline is the key and I am so thankful of my life lessons in the military of responsibility and accountability. Dr. Peterson's point about writing cannot be more true. I have been complimented on my ability to write clearly and provide analysis of complex problems. I am on track to reach senior positions in the near future because of my communication skills. It pays--literally.

    I asked myself this question a year ago and I realized first of all, and please think if this applies to you as well: I don't shower nearly as much as I should. When I'm alone I just didn't see the need to. The need was there though. I also didn't brush my teeth as much as I should. I then jotted it down in my schedule and did it until it became a habit.
    I then turned my view out to my room. I have clothes on the floor, dust bunnies in the corners of my room, and I still have some empty cartons of whatever drink I like just sitting on the table, as well as the plate I use and reuse everyday for eating. This was level 2. I put it in my schedule with red text. I unlock this when level 1 becomes a habit.
    I also put down a set amount of hours for core procrastination. Core procrastination is procrastination I can do no matter how much work I have to do. It's self indulgence that heals the soul. 6 hours is what I set myself a goal to do. So whenever I didn't have something to do, I started the countdown, and whenever I had something to do I paused it. When it was over and I didn't have something to do, that's when I would start adding things to my schedule.
    The year is October 26th 2022 and this is what I've been doing for a year now.

I’ve learned a lot of things that are different from the standard textbook in this class and I just wish that there were more teachers like that. Im starting to doubt myself and question my own purpose of going to school because the teachers there are not able to do something similar as that one class and it feels that they are rushing things. It’s like a majority of the classes want you to look at a PowerPoint that is over 50 slides long and it’s also nearly impossible to take notes at the same time because they just move so fast that they don’t even point out very important things to talk about and start conversations about.

      The message is really good and a lot of people can take note of the points. I too am beginning to understand how valuable time is. My problem with this video is that he just gives it in a way a preacher would do, and that is what I greatly dislike. Imagine everything he says, but without his intonations, without his skewed examples, without repeating the same thing over and over again.
      While there is a lot of truth. When something feels inspiring the moment you experience it it mostly boils down to a feeling. And while it helps some to act; it also puts you in an entire mood. I don't like others trying to motivate when they are clearly doing it in a preachy style. It's a very American way of communication which, surprisingly, I'm not really fond of.
      The comment section is also one who doesn't even THINK that people who dislike this are sensible human beings. And that was the nail in the coffin for me. If there is no room to speak about a subject differently than his preachings worked. You must be inspired or - as he puts it - you'll end up in hell.

    It is incredible how you can be living your life day by day, procrastinating and knowing that you are not doing the best you can, that you are wasting so much time, and still you don't think on making a change and trying to improve things, or at least you don't seriously try. Then comes this man, he gives you a 15 minutes talk, putting into words everything you knew in the inside, and suddenly you become so concious and try to get better, even your perception of your life changes. Thank you Jordan Peterson.

      its because what the other side of the coin is you don't want to waste your life just being miserable all the time working and working and working and working and you wake up 60 with all the time wasted on some work that doesn't matter to you. That's the other side. Both sides are toxic to the extreme. Moderation is key. But once you get a job they force you to work all the time. Its a crazy world we live in. There's definitely good but definitely bad things in it. That's why we get confused ,go through stages and break the rules. Because if you follow the rules all the time you will be as miserable
