In my country, France, we would never use the word "productivity" to talk about someone life. It's purely and only used for work, particularly industrial places ( but not only). In your free time, you certainly don't need to be productive. Just enjoy life and people.

"Little by little. A little becomes a lot!"

I am a huge believer of Kaizen so definitely one of my favorite techniques and the easiest one to do.

The explaining about of words passion, mission, profession and vocation are the better definitions that I've ever read and they reproduce the truth. Greetings from Brazil, Jim.

[alanfuller]

In spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart. I'm really much impressed with your personality here. And your comments are so interesting..

[icnsotx]

Thanks JimKwik all the way from Tanzania

Thank you so much for this…I really appreciate hearing this today….I’m two weeks into a six week minor (toes on both feet) surgery! I woke up feeling lazy and sluggish…it’s also below zero today. I am trying to maintain some sense of routine and exercise. I can do my balance board👏 and modified PT exercises. I will be listening to this several times today! Thanks Jim

[DiemMy-Meli]

Thank you for your videos and podcasts Jim. Your speech is clear and slow enough which makes it easier to follow and to understand. 😊 I have now hope to improve my brain. ❤

[kitchenprincessbamboo]

Thank you Jim for introducing our wisdom! I had no idea that even "Harahachibu" can be one of the technique to overcome the Laziness. Those 7 techniques are all familiar to us and it’s our lifestyle!

[dosemulero]

Thank you for this gem of a video. Great content as always Jim.💪💯

[igorsyvolapenko]

So enjoy your podcasts Jim! You are AMAZING!

[gunjasharda]

How to maintain consistency is the only hurdle for me

[naina]

So blessed to receive this knowledge. Lot of gratitude from India

[JamieModelvsDirector]

Thank you so very Much ❤ Words cannot express how much I really appreciate your content! My first time coming across your channel and it was EXACTLY What I needed 🙏🏾 Thank you! 💝

I have so much gratitude for you and your work because I was beginning to think I’m having a cognitive and energetic decline because of age? But that’s not it because I know ppl much older than I am who are still sharp and full of Life 🧐

I couldn’t figure it out 🤔 but you helped me realize I need to recalibrate by getting back into nature and reconnecting 💡

Thx a million 🎉😊❤

[GilesCuckow]

I've been watching a lot of stuff about the Japanese, I never knew they were such honourable, respectful and maintained by exceptional discipline
