“Laziness is a skill”
Thanks, that’s all I needed to know. I’ll continue.

Historically I have a habit of going too hard, not being able to sustain the Herculean effort, getting extremely overwhelmed and giving up to end up hating myself. So now I’ve learned that to give a small, consistent mediocre effort everyday is the solution to getting things done and having a respect for my abilities. It sounds stupidly simple but its crazy how it adds up. Mediocre consistency is the mindset that’s changed my life, that’s gave me a goal in the midst of a very bad depression/burn out.

I had to overhaul how I approached taking care of my brain (exercise, journaling, studying etc) by practising mediocre consistency. Now I try to put in consistent 40-60% effort into my journaling habit, workouts and how I study - to make sure I do it I began recording and posting it on my yt channel. Consistency has been the biggest game changer and lowering my expectations has been the way to complete any task.

Honestly doing something novel in your day helps a lot. It’s really easy to get bogged down in the monotony of your everyday routine, so even something as simple as taking another street on your way home from work can help put you in a different state of mind

Some YouTube shorts are so high quality.
This is one of them.
So much wisdom in 1 video.
May I ask how many hours did it take to edit this type of video?

Music is the only thing that hypes me up, can't do homework? Listen to music to do it.
Don't wanna clean? Listen to music to do it.
Don't wanna do jogging? Listen to music to do it.
ITS THAT SIMPLE, I just lovee music 🎶

Great tips and video delivery...I like how you promote your course at the end

One of the quickest ways to gain inspiration for me is to listen to soul, when I don't wanna do anything I play some What's going on or Songs in the key of life and instantly get my day going

By taking baby step and slowly doing it . Procrastinating is something we do when we dont want to do something.

how 45 second video can be more effective than a 10 min video, brilliant!

I'm actually doing the cold shower, it's really terrible, but after a bit it feels alright. Also been working on my physical state, and I'm getting there.

Inspiration of many video creator 🙏❤️🖤

Do we really believe in perpetuating this capitalistic idea of "laziness"? It sounds more like burnout to me. Each thing recommended sounds like it'd help jumpstart the head and the heart to be present again, and maybe find some inspiration (as you mentioned). These days, so many of us need more rest than even more hustle.

Even said, I respect you Matt! Love your videos, this one may have just missed the mark with me personally.

[amiryoutube.]

Your videos helped motivate for me to start my content creating journey. Love the content and see you at the top brother!!
