"Stop letting other people spend your time for you" probably the most important side note of this entire video. The amount I spend on social media watching other people enjoy the highlights of their lives and you become very depressed anxious and demoralized. This is a excellent quote to spend the only lifetime you have on yourself. Thanks

Notes for myself:
1) *Unstimulate your brain.*
Take breaks that let your brain unstimulate:
- go for a walk
- medidate
- gym
This way when you do the boring task, your brain has stopped expecting the constant hits of dopamine that easy content provides.


2) *Productivity playlist.*
Make a playlist that you only listen to while working. This way, your brain will start associating that playlist with being productive, so in the future when you put it on, its easier to enter a productive minset.


3) *Use caffeine correctly*
- 300mg/day
- L-thianine


4) *Get past the concentration hump.*
Do the task for more than 20min, and you will enter a productive state - or flow state. NOTIFICATIONS OFF!

1: Unstimulate your brain
2: Create a productivity playlist
3: Use caffeine correctly (Less than 300 mg/day, space your caffeine intakes and use L-theanine)
4: Get past the hump

I’m surprised to hear that is your age group audience. I’m 64! I’ve always been interested in self development and as I get older, it’s even more important...times running out! I need to focus. 😂🤣. Your videos are very entertaining and spot on...in my humble opinion! Thank you for providing quality information, and inspiration for my today, tomorrow and the next day etc. I’m looking forward to the next video. You, have a great day too. Joyce

For anybody looking for an alternative to coffee, Matcha tea contains caffeine and also contains L-Theanine

When you said you thought you had ADHD
THATS ME RIGHT NOW. My whole life I've always procrastinated. I always studied the last few days for exams, worked on a project or assignment the last day. When I came upon the concept of hyperfocus, I could relate immediately. And I've been trying to trigger my hyperfocus but it seems like its only triggered when a deadline is close. I havent watched the video yet but I truly hope I get a solution once and for all.

4th tip, the flow state actually works dude.
I had to do my work but I saw ur video notif so I thought just see video at 1.5x quickly and at beginning it was hard.
But idk how it happened till the last tip, I wasn't feeling like leaving.
It happened everytime but I never noticed. Thanks bro! 😊
