“Do LESS than you think you can handle” that so counter to conventional self help advice and thats why I love it

[ElishaLong]

#2 is the most overlooked topic in Self Improvement.

Accountability with people close to you or even online can skyrocket your growth.

This quote sums it up perfectly.

"Poverty, I realized, wasn’t only a lack of financial resources; it was isolation from the kind of people who could help you make more of yourself."

Keith Ferrazzi

Last advice works. I have made it a habit to do 1 push up a day... Currently doing 180 /day, but I do have days where I only do 1 when I don't feel like doing. Yet the day is successful.

#3 doing less than you think you can handle is GOLD. Tim’s writing process is the target of 2 crappy pages per day - and his body of writing is vast.

I cried the whole time i was watching this. The stress was so overwhelming. I know that i have to get back on track and I will, but i cant stop stressing about it.

Tim doesn’t read comments, but I’ll add one anyway to push this valuable content to more people.

Simplify life. Momentum however small can grow to be monumental. bravo Tim. Loving these shorts videos.

I saw this video on my feed and at first I was like "not worth it, it'll probably be some cliché 'just drop the senseless stuff and get back to it' advice". Later today after failing at doing something, I considered watching it just in case there was some good advice and I was pleasantly proved wrong. Good job.

You're a true angel Tim Such a wonderful and incredible soul and beautiful inside and out ♥️

Dude, thank you for putting this out there! I had like 3 apple pies the other night (you know, I totally could've had just one!). Granted, I'm in the gym (weights and cardio) 5-6 days a week but I really didn't need to eat 3 apple pies (that 'might-as-well' syndrome).
On a more serious note, I do struggle with allowing myself to get off track with my work at times. I work for myself and there are those times when I feel stuck and anxiety starts to take over. For that, I'm going to grab the book you recommended in your email (4/27/2021) The Art of Effortless Results. I'm getting better at focusing more on what moves the needle forward these days but I still find myself sometimes avoiding those things and working on stuff that's really just busy-work as it's not helping me progress.

Expect a downfall pessimistic approach
But when you fall directly have a plan for it.

Do less than you think you can handle.
It's about a marathon not a sprint

im such the type of guy who either does it all, or not at all. I cant half-ass anything.. If i do it, I do it at full clip and 100%, or i dont do it at all. I wish I didnt operate in that way sometimes, as it can hinder my productivity/motivation, but when im on... Im fucking ON. With theses pandemic times, having to close my jiu-jitsu school off and on, it has been a TASK to get back on track and very unmotivating. I keep falling off tracks and getting back on, but when my whole world isnt functioning like i want to, I tend to kinda give in. Working on it, but this helps me tremendously. Thank you Tim!

[farrashafizh]

Definetely going to follow your advice : "Do less than you think you can handle"
I resonates so much with it. I often force myself to do things that I think I can handle. And yeah, it resulted in me burning out for the whole day, or even worse, for the whole week. And its actually so hard to get back on track. Thanks for the advice Tim!

[ZHobbs]

I hope this helps many, thank you Tim!

[silverscreenproductions]

These are some great points. Sometimes the most simple reminders can be the most profound. Keep up the great work Tim. 👍

[SamuelRiveraFilms]

This is hands down the simplest yet best advice I’ve heard in a while. Thanks Tim!
