My own motivation is to tell myself, if I don’t do it, who will. Makes it real.

[duhitstime]

“You ever have those...”

Jocko: *Dead pan expression*

“Well, you’re different”

[tlz]

I had this happen to me recently. I've been working on a computer project and it wasn't getting done. It's something that i knew would help me if i finished it, but i couldn't get myself to actually do it. Computer projects always have problems and most of the time there's no easy solution. But something came over me and i decided that i'm going to do whatever it took to get things done and done correctly. Even if i had to spend all day doing it. In literally 30 minutes or so, i accomplished it. I sat back in awe of what happened. I thought, "If only i could apply this to even 4 or 5 key things, i'd be doing amazing things". I'm not super genius smart. But something happened that i didn't know was in me that rendered "intelligence" almost as something insignificant and put desire to achieve as the most important thing available. Just thought i'd share that.

Let me sum up this channel:

" - But Jocko, how do you do X?

- I do X"

[journeyfurthur]

Power curve, get ahead
Sense of urgency
Do That Thang - whatever it is
Do it and It'll be Done

Been watching Jocko for a week now been keeping me motivated and driving my self to be better everyday. Only draw back is that every ad that shows up on my internet now is for 2, 500 dollar squat racks and I think I gotta get one.

Definitely going to look for opportunities to use "Do it and it'll be done." ~ Echo with my Squad haha. Thanks for pumping out this motivating content! Keep at it!

My productivity at work increased threefold today, after watching this one video. Just bought the book, looking forward to reading it.

The dichotomy would seem to be, that when it’s easy you procrastinate and tell yourself it will take a lot of time but when it’s difficult you tell yourself it is easy and can wait. Either way, it is a task hanging over your head. The sooner you start, the sooner you’ll finish. Good quote! “Do it, and it’ll be done” is a great little push to give yourself to interrupt that negative internal thought cycle. Push a little then re-assess. You can only see how long it should take by getting started and looking over the whole task. So start now! Get after it, and chip away because problems will always come up, outside commitments, and changes.

It was the moment where I told my son "if you spent half the time actually cleaning your room as you do complaining about it, you'd be done by now" where I realized I had become a dad. Woof.

Nike: We invented “JUST DO—“
Jocko: Wtf were you saying, private?!?
Nike: sir nothing sir

[georgekirby]

Is it strange I’ve started to enjoy doing things I don’t enjoy but have to do ?

[optimize.]

What a great expression. This is the first time (I can recall) that Echo’s second line commentary created a real new piece of added value. Thanks Echo 🙏

[MichaelLeung]

When your girlfriend doesn't wanna do it:
"Do it and it'll Be Done".

[khill-jfef]

Bro it is 2 in the morning so I guess I have to get it done lol Thanks for the motivation

Compound Effect works either for you or against you. Do the things you do on a daily basis will compound over time and create your destiny. Do it and do it now. :)

I'm gonna start using this at work. I'm trying to move up but been demotivated lately. All the work load and expectancies feel impossible and i feel like i fail constantly but maybe I'm just not setting enough urgency. I feel like giving up but this kinda opened my eyes more

[littleripper]

I love how Echo tries to play the part of what some people listening might be thinking as an argument against Jocko. You can tell he doesn't think that himself always and he's trying to think up the excuses a lot of people are probably making.

*When you have important things that need to get done time seems to only know the gas pedal but nothing of the break*

[kellyswanzy]

If you've ever wondered what a natural leader looks like, Jocko is the without question that man!
