This is an awesome rule when we feel even a little bit motivated to do something, but what I struggle with is when you need to do something, but don't have an urge whatsoever. For example, I should get some sleep, but I really don't want to. Working on it though! Thanks for sharing this!

I love your videos! I've been influenced by you finally change the path of my life, even though it's hard and I am afraid of disappointing my dear ones. I will be recording some of this path. Don't have the proper tools to record it yet, but i'm going to do it and post it anyways. Have a blessed week!

[linhnhat]

[andrebelo]

[AmsNlBcnEs]

Take action right away, don’t wait for the countdown.

[JamesHardaker]

This is how I motivate myself to eat food I just dropped on the floor

[hunbbelmeer]

That really helped, Matt.

I wanted to procrastinate and started doing just that after counting down from 5 to 0. Guys, this works!

[Lin-Xuan]

Great tip! Helps to get out of your comfort zone too! ❤❤❤❤

[hi-i-am-pi]

I'm so proud of myself. I came back to this after a lot of productivity to hear the ending.

This is probably my favourite productivity tip, because it actually accounts for the fact that our brains are lazy, and uses that Instead of expecting us to become super human. Sometimes it’s as easy as tidying up your desk.
