1. 0:00In continuation of the discipline
2. 0:01question, what if you can't eliminate
3. 0:03distractions? For example, you need
4. 0:06internet access to work, but then I just
5. 0:08end up watching YouTube. Oh, no.
6. 0:11>> [laughter]
7. 0:16>> First off, you can block sites. So, I
8. 0:18don't like you can block apps, you can
9. 0:20block sites if you actually feel like
10. 0:22you you you can't control yourself in
11. 0:25that environment. Again, it's just like
12. 0:26this is like the fact that you asked
13. 0:28that question is really frightening for
14. 0:30me because it's like this is solvable.
15. 0:32Like this isn't like I didn't need to
16. 0:33tell you that answer. And so,
17. 0:36like
18. 0:37I think I think a lot of people are
19. 0:38asking questions just cuz they want like
20. 0:39a hug. You know, they want a high five.
21. 0:42Like, what do you want me to say here?
22. 0:43Do you want me to say, "You know what,
23. 0:44man?
24. 0:45You're right.
25. 0:47YouTube's too distracting. You have no
26. 0:49chance.
27. 0:50So, the way your life is right now is
28. 0:51how it's going always going to be. So,

31. 0:57ridiculous. You got to change to change.
32. 0:58And so, we just want to maximize the
33. 1:00odds. And of course, I mean, you started
34. 1:02the premise of like some things you
35. 1:03can't eliminate. You said the internet,
36. 1:04but then you said YouTube. It's like
37. 1:06that's a straw man. Right? Of course,
38. 1:08the internet. Yes, okay, eliminate some
39. 1:09of the other stuff that you have. But,
40. 1:12if you really need to on the internet,
41. 1:13it's What are we using the internet for?
42. 1:15Is it for research? Do we need it just
43. 1:17because we need to process words? Is it
44. 1:18that we need to type Okay, like
45. 1:20what are we actually using the internet
46. 1:21for? You might be able to actually work
47. 1:23airplane mode if you're actually that
48. 1:25worried about it. Like there's always
49. 1:26little things that you can do because
50. 1:27you might only need it for a specific
51. 1:29period of time. I have a timer that I
52. 1:31use that's on my desk that I time my
53. 1:33tasks with because I know if I have a
54. 1:35clock in front of me, the my speed of
55. 1:37work probably triples. I stay on task
56. 1:39when I can see that there's a clock that
57. 1:40I'm timing myself even though there's no
58. 1:42jury or judge or executioner to
59. 1:44determine whether I did or not. I see
60. 1:46that there's a clock and like I got to
61. 1:47stay on task. That's how I manage
62. 1:48myself. I'll give you one more tip and
