The fact that you made the video last 2 minutes really impressed me man

Rule 1: if it takes 2 minutes to do, get it done now
Rule 2: if there’s something you don’t want to do, simplify the task to 2 minutes or less

Goes to show the prominence of a life coach. I believe discipline plays a major role too yunno. Great video by the way.

I was listening to a podcast that said, “it’s important to live life by design rather than emotion. Basically, sticking to a routine is what allows us to be the healthiest version of ourselves (especially when you're fighting these demons ex. OCD for me).

I’ve had to overhaul how I approach taking care of my brain (exercise, journaling, studying etc) by practising mediocre consistency. Now I try to put in consistent 50-60% effort into my journaling habit - to make sure I do it I began recording it and posting it on YT. After a really bad depression phase I started to believe I couldn’t change and I’d feel that horrible forever.

Historically I have a habit of going too hard, not being able to sustain the Herculean effort, giving up and hating myself. So now I’m trying to give a small, consistent mediocre effort everyday. And its crazy how it adds up.

I really appreciate the "straight to the point" structure of this video. You said everything clearly and concisely. No fluff, no meandering for 15 minutes, just pure useful info.

Thank you so much!

Limiting myself to 2 minutes is something I haven’t actually tried yet lol. Will do! 🙏

Understanding personal finances and investing will most likely lead to greater financial independence. By being knowledgeable about money and investing, individuals can make informed decisions about how to save, spend, and invest their money.

Third variation if it takes more than two minutes: do it for two minutes, and if you notice you feel well enough to continue, do it! If you focus on a task for just two minutes you will usually trick your brain into wanting to continue the task. If you still have a hard time after two minutes, don’t force it— might be your body telling you to take an active break (I.e. go on a walk, stretch, eat a healthy snack, etc) and then come back and try the task again for two minutes.

Thank you a lot. This is my note for revising later:
- Cutting your hard task into 2-minute tasks to do every day.
- The 2-minute rule might seem stupid but it is the act of showing up - the foundation to create a good habit that you don't want to do.

Does anyone else like the video before even watching at this point

[beatricedanci]

I appreciate very much the 2-minute rule from Atomic Habits because if you study for just 2 minute not only you get started, but you also develop interest in the study material.

[SecretMind]

I appreciate how your videos not only educate but also create a sense of community around mental health. Keep up the positive impact!
