Love this technique. You simply trick your brain into thinking the task is super easy and doable and by the time the 1 minute timer is up, there’s a high chance you’re going to want to keep going because you’ve already entered into the "flow state".

Just think: You could have done ten things while this video was playing in the background.

Ah yes. About time I got motivation to get stuff done.

"The hardest part of productivity is that transition from doing nothing to do doing something" so true. Once you get started its fairly easy to keep geting things done!

Tackle all the small chores and get them done quickly. This will give you the momentum to begin tackling the big goals that you have

Thank you for making this video. I did something similar with TY notes I was late getting written & mailed. I decided to sit down to write every day until I caught up, even if I completed just one a day. The first day I was able to write 2 in the few mins I had before leaving for an appointment. I made sure to mail them that day, too, and it felt so good! This morning I had even less time but was still able to write 1 and drop it in the mail when I returned from an appointment. I haven’t watched your whole video, and you may touch on this later, but I think
my brain is enjoying a dopamine surge every time I sit down to write, and another when I drop them in the mailbox! I’m proud of myself for thinking of this method on my own. Next I’ll try it on something that’s important but not time sensitive—piles of papers on my desk that need to be sorted, filed, and/or tossed. Wish me luck! 😅

Time using stop watch on your phone:
1 minute choose a task. Visualise doing the task.
1 minute prepare task
1 minute execute task.
1 minute celebrate.
1 minute list next section of task.
1 minute execute new section of task.
1 minute celebrate.
If 1 minute turns to 20 minutes celebrate 20 mins.
Well done!

What a great video 👍 one quote that I have burnt into my brain that I find really useful and true is: “don’t do it when you feel like doing it, do it- and then you’ll feel like doing it”- Zig Ziglar. How true that is, it takes forever to start a task, but when you do, you don’t wanna stop

The biggest obstacle to getting things done is distractions. Minimize distractions and you will almost certainly get more done!

After seeing the thumbnail i was like 1 minute rule in 10 minutes🤔

You might as well take it to the next step and do whatever you have to do immediately after you know you have to do it. Of course, if the chore is taxing it is good to take a break but doing everything immediately makes it so you never worry about it because it is already done. Either do it immediately or you will experience emotional pain in addition to having to do it.

This video had its message delivered in the first one minute.

Learned 1 rule in 10 minutes.
Lets implement this 10 minutes in rest of life.

Dont put your work for tomorrow just do it now. If you put it tomorrow it always gets delayed. Dont procrastinate just go for it.

[DrJonTam]

Quick summary: Complete something on your to-do list RIGHT NOW so you take control of your productivity instead of wallowing in procrastination.

Reality: Keep watching YouTube 😂

Actually checking email throughout the day is highly inefficient. Tim Ferris said so too. You need to chunk some of the activities together for efficiency.

[HeyItsLeePH]

Totally agree. I've learned so much from this. There was a huge increase in productivity.
