Listed points:
(03:33) (Major point 1 Work on your mindset)
-Start reading non-fiction and apply it in your life. Work on your mindset, it should be the foundation for productivity and discipline.
-If You don’t like reading, try audio, try podcasts
(08:04) (Major point 2 - Limit over stimulus)
-Lessen the amount of stimulus in your life. Stop getting dopamine from the wrong sources.
-Scrolling, investing in the wrong causes, creating false purpose and challenge in place of creating a real life
-Create goals, challenges, time frames, invest your time and mental energy where it counts
-Cut off vices, be real with yourself
(11:27) (Major point 3 - Excessive comfort is the enemy)
-Comfort is bad when it hurts our potential
-Comfort can be good - I am comfortable in my routine, in my workouts etc but sleeping in till noon, doing drugs and sucking media all day isn’t a way to live. Shopping to make ourselves feel better.
-Create discomfort in your life to create comfort.
(Major point 4 Don’t Be Afraid of Failure)
Just get started now, small with common sense. Start with realistic expectations. Terry crews example - treat gym like a spa, go for 30 mins not even to workout but just be there everyday
Stop overthinking, just start doing
Discipline is not just following a plan when you need a plan, but following the plan when you’ve succeeded. Make a plan and follow it, regardless of your emotions.
