  67. 2:27to be productive recently i turned on
  68. 2:30the downtime feature on my iphone where
  69. 2:32basically it turns off all of my apps on
  70. 2:35a schedule so that way i'm not
  71. 2:36distracted by social media or other

  78. 2:52season but plan things that you want to
  79. 2:54do in the morning and make it a habit
  80. 2:57one of the first things i always do in
  81. 2:58the morning is i get out of bed and i

  86. 3:16the light in because at night i like to
  87. 3:18have everything closed and super dark in
  88. 3:21my room then i immediately go to the
  89. 3:23bathroom and i do all of my bathroom
  90. 3:26things like wash my face and brush my
  91. 3:28teeth i like to wash my face with cold
  92. 3:30water especially in the morning because

  124. 4:39social media or on other apps many times

  131. 4:57why we can't do something tip number
  132. 4:59eight waking up earlier allows for deep
  133. 5:02work deep work requires deep focus very
  134. 5:06few people can focus deeply for long
  135. 5:08periods of time most people's lives have
  136. 5:10been optimized for distraction people's
  137. 5:13bodies have been addicted to quit hit
  138. 5:15neural chemicals such as dopamine and
  139. 5:18even cortisol in other words your body
  140. 5:20likes to feel like a winner and in order
  141. 5:22to feel that way you need to create
  142. 5:25small wins and small moments of victory
  143. 5:27throughout your workday so set small
  144. 5:30achievable goals throughout your day and
  145. 5:33check it off of your list that's going
  146. 5:35to help motivate you and help you
  147. 5:36realize you actually can do a lot more
  148. 5:39than you thought it's not really about
  149. 5:41how long you spend being productive it's
  150. 5:43more about how efficient you are with
  151. 5:45your time for example if someone says
  152. 5:48they go to the gym for two hours but
  153. 5:50half the time they're on their phone or
  154. 5:53they're simply just walking on the
  155. 5:54treadmill and being distracted then
  156. 5:57that's not really being as efficient as
  157. 5:59running for 10 minutes straight so
  158. 6:02instead of doing work for two hours
  159. 6:04maybe you can do deep work for about 30
  160. 6:07minutes and be just as efficient
  161. 6:09[Music]
  162. 6:13tip number nine more time to recover i
  163. 6:17try my best to finish all of my work by
  164. 6:194 pm so that i can rest the rest of the
  165. 6:22night sometimes that doesn't happen but
  166. 6:24having a healthy work-life balance is
  167. 6:26important especially for those who are
  168. 6:29working from home or are doing classes
  169. 6:31from home i like to relax by watching
  170. 6:33run bts or something on netflix and this
  171. 6:37is the time where i really have to
  172. 6:38intentionally put all of my work away
  173. 6:41and just focus on doing nothing
  174. 6:44tip number 10 believe you can if you say
  175. 6:47i could never do that then you're
  176. 6:49putting a limiting belief on yourself
  177. 6:52waking up earlier can make your mornings
  178. 6:54less stressful which in turn will make
  179. 6:56your days less stressful so i know a lot
