How To Unlock INSANE Productivity Even If You're Lazy

  • How many times did you tell yourself you were going to do something, but then didn’t even bother starting?
    Over the past few years I’ve examined hundreds of different routines, and I’ve noticed that most successful and productive people all have one.
    But how can someone who's kind of lazy achieve a similar level of success?
    In this video we'll look at how to get more done if you're someone who doesn’t feel like doing much, is often unmotivated or would rather just chill.
    And you'll find out how to construct a productivity routine that will help you get the most out of your time, without putting in too much effort.
    After all, being productive isn’t necessarily about spending more time working, but rather about being in a proper mental state when you are working, in order to be more efficient, faster and of course, to enjoy doing it.

    Procrastination is the fear of success. People procrastinate because they fear the success they know will result if they move ahead now. Because success is heavy and carries a responsibility with it, it is much easier to procrastinate and live on the ‘someday I’ll’ philosophy

      @@kerenbanget1 Well, the productivity by now always was > 0. And anything getting done strengthened my general confidence in my capabilities. At the end, what holds you back from a task is often a more or less conscious fear about struggling or failing.

    I've been out of work for a couple years and I'm finding very difficult to get back to doing what I used to do. I've been tackling addiction issues and going back feels unnaturally daunting

    • @bvillebikelady3651
      @bvillebikelady3651 3 месяца назад +5

      Find a good support program for the addiction first. Where work is concerned, apply for every opening you can find that you can do. Above all, don't give up! 🙏❤

    • @MyOver50
      @MyOver50 3 месяца назад +4

      Not working & being unproductive is the catalyst for your addiction. You're not living a productive healthy life & doing nothing means in 6 months, things could be a lot worse. You can do this! Close your eyes & picture yourself back working & getting that paycheck & feeling better about yourself. I'd even find a place you can volunteer at while job searching. You know applying for jobs is hard work, so start by getting your skills together to show them off. Start by dedicating an hour a day to get your stuff together & make a list of people you know whom might have job leads. The sooner you start being responsible your self esteem will be better. I believe in you!

    Thank you for this, I'm going to give it a go to create the stimulus to practice the guitar more. I love playing, but when it gets difficult, I find it hardsr to pick up.
    One thing I read, is that smell evokes memory FAR more than sound or visual stimulus.. therefore it might spur you to get to work more easily if you smell a candle or perfume.
    So, pick a smell that can be associated with starting work or practicing something and use it as a trigger.. it should be 10x more effective than a a aong or picture.

    I have and always had this one problem: At first, I recognize that are so many different activities and hobbies which I know I could be very passionate about. Be it editing videos, making music or writing stories, to name just a few examples. But precisely because there are so many different options to choose from, I can't manage to decide on one particular thing. It's like the agony of choice. I also find it difficult to find the necessary motivation and energy because I know that these things require a certain amount of mental effort - even though they would be fun despite or because of this. And so it often happens that I simply end up doing nothing at all and end up back in front of the PC playing pointless video games. Has anyone here had the same problem in the past and any tips on how to solve it?

    Building habits is essential for creating anything. My problem (and surely of many other people) is that I know exactly what I want to do, I would have a routine and I know my peak time BUT the regular job gets in the way...😅 I am productive in the mornings, and as you said in the video the energy level after work is so low that I cannot do anything. It's bothering and frustrating and therfore kills all the motivation.

    • @mehdii448
      @mehdii448 3 месяца назад +1

      Nobody knows the future so I suggest to not take this into consideration. When people say ''you will fail or you will win'' nobody actually know for sure. It's all about destiny and the efforts you put in. Also maybe you can use this as a motivation to prove those people wrong, not necessarily to brag after but twist those words into motivation. But I think this should be ''additional'' motivation because what you do is for you first! And even if you ''fail'' it's part of the journey. Failing is not the end of the world, many successful people failed a lot until they win unexpectedly even if it's another field that there originally were.
