How to Achieve More in 1 Week than Most People Do in 12 months

[Music] is there anything better than that sound probably not good for you but I'm trying to get more done in one week than most do in one year you have to watch this video at 75 speed cuz there just so much coming at you at once why is it that despite having 24 hours in a day every single one of us on this planet we're all equal in the amount of time we have we're definitely not equal in results why is it that some people can get more done in a day than most people can

do in an entire month and in this video I want to teach you not how to get the most out of your time cuz you can go to videos on productivity advice and okay organize your day in this like a lot of productivity advice have you noticed this it just teaches you how to be busy like how to be a better robot at executing these tasks do you ever zoom out and wonder am I focusing on the right tasks cuz who cares if you're productive if you're productive on the wrong things busy verse true productivity

this is what we're talking about in this video and man if you just focus on what uh these four questions I'll give you in this like higher level perspective I mean this is literally the difference between you having 5 years of busy work versus 5 years of going towards your purpose so with that let's get into it so we hit him with the chart let's hit him with the chart almost hit me with the chart we're using the Sharpie Magnum baby the only time I've ever been able to use Magnums in my life here we

have age 0 to 80 years old now if you take your life and divide it up into three major stages you would have something like this phase one we could call Young 0 to 25 years old you're in college you're in school you're learning you're soaking in information preparing to get into when you're in phase two could call this your adulthood you know this is you in a career this is you working this is you grinding it out all while hoping for the last days the last 20 years call this old season that's a better

word for it you're you got experience this is the narrative that people pass down to you through school they say oh you got to go to high school you get out when you're 18 years old then if you go to college if you're smart right and you go to college so you can get a job that you can work for 40 years with the hopes of retiring the last 20 years of your life that is the standard narrative that's been passed down for probably the last hundred years that everybody subconsciously believes that's life and without

questioning it most just accept that's how it is in other words most people are sleep walking through life this is the point I want to get through your head that if you want to get more done in one week than most people do in a whole year fact I would say an entire decade maybe even a lifetime you just wake up Ben Franklin has one of the hardest hitting quotes he said that most people people die at the age of 25 but we just bury them at age 75 oo I heard that when I was

in my 20s and it hit me now here's what's crazy all right let's add a few more points here the average life expectancy is right around here 77 years in the USA when I looked it up before this video one other stat that just breaks my heart when surveyed up to 85% of American don't like their job they literally say they're dissatisfied like I wouldn't choose this gig but you know I'm doing what I got to do now most people are retiring around the age of 65 life is expensive inflation cost of living goes up

so we have this fantasy in our head that okay you know once I'm done working then I can start living like once I push through this career and my kids are out of the house then I can finally start living for myself then I can finally follow my passion or then I can travel the world or sit on the beach sipping pina coladas or whatever that like fantasy is in our head but the sad reality is that if you don't love what's in here you're missing out on a majority of your life your sleep walking

through it most people are dying at the age of 25 and we don't bury him till the age of 75 man is that the truth and so what what is my point here like there's a light at the end of the tunnel it is not over for you in fact it's far from over and in fact the sooner you saw this video and the sooner you're able to wake up to the illusion of what people have planned for you and the life that others are like subconsciously programming you to live the sooner you can actually

start living and waking up sleepwalking through life is the number one thing you have to avoid I'm not even showing you this like most people who show you this are like and that's why you got to start a business if you're not Drop Shipping you're wasting these years bit of a tangent but that can be a fantasy in itself for a lot of people most people aren't cut out for that to be totally honest and that can cause them the Sleepwalk through life just chasing this one day one day one day and it prevents them

from actually living you don't have to start a business to love your life getting rich isn't the only thing isn't the only way to feel like you're a somebody in fact the feeling of you have to be a somebody that can be the very curse that's holding you back to begin with that can be the thing that makes you fall asleep and sleep walks through life saying oh yeah when I'm finally successful when I'm finally there when I'm there when I'm there I don't know man not to go like too deep and tangental here cuz

I sometimes I wonder like how much of our improvements is us just preparing to live versus actually living cuz those are two different things like you preparing and learning how to live even watching these videos and reading these books this isn't actually living this is preparing you to go out and live but if all you're doing is consuming information like this and consuming content like just preparing okay that's how this person says to live the good life and this person at some point you got to get out of the house you got to live live

your life some point you got to realize what do I actually want what everyone else says with the guy on YouTube who's jacked and has a nice car and a business like is he happy I don't know we'll never know at a certain point you choose to wake up for yourself and at the moment you wake up for yourself and choose which will give you four questions here next that is the moment that you get more done than most people do in a year in a decade because you're waking up you're not sleeping walking you're

not waiting till you're 75 years old to get buried and you died at 25 is this first part making sense is this first part giving you an exential crisis no wrong Mission so now I have a question for you who are the best people at helping you level up are they the ones with the answers people telling you what to do I don't think so I think it's a very lazy childish way like we go looking for the answers in school our parents is this okay the society accept me for this like we want to

be told what to do that's the reason you're stuck because you're looking to other people to decide what should you do the best coaches don't have the answers they have the questions and so in this remainder of this video I know you're thinking well how how do I actually apply this I want to give you four questions and I don't want this to be another video that you you know forget about and say okay that's on my to-do list for later I really want you to write down these four questions and promise me that tomorrow

morning you're going to go to a coffee shop you're going to order the biggest freaking coffee they got you're going to sit down at the journal and you're going to answer these four questions you do that I promise you this week you will get more done than most people do in an entire year because this is how you wake up from the narrative that is subconsciously just pounded into you from society from school from your parents we got a deal all right cool let's do it Magnum for the second time today two times in one

day never been able to do that these are ranked in order of importance where I would spend and allocate a majority of your time by the way question number one what would I do if I was fearless and could not fail what would you do if you were fearless and could not fail you have to answer this question in that specific syntax fearless and could not fail there's only two motivators for human beings pain and pleasure you're either working towards something you want or you're running away trying to avoid something that happen to you or

that's painful so what would you do if you were fearless and could not fail often times we have these dreams and these seedlings that perk up in your mind and watch how fast you shoot it down like hey that person's posting covers on YouTube why don't you post something on there or like you're inspired by them why why don't you do that and then you shoot it down with oh no you don't have the gear you don't have the skill you'll get laughed at it'll fail it's a waste of time you're too busy it's too

expensive it's too saturated Bo wow that person just walks up to them and starts a conversation he's attracted he walks up and they're talking what if I did that no you're going to get rejected everyone's going to watch you it's going to be embarrassing you're going to be humiliated Etc every time you have the solution come up there's another part of you that's shooting it down out of fear and so when you remove move Fearless could not fail and you remove the possibility of failure what do you want to do you might question yourself and

be like I would not be working the same job if you would be working that same job or in that career congrats that's good data but if you're in the 85% I mentioned earlier who don't like their job and what they're doing well then the reason they're staying stuck is out of comfort and it's risky and the reason they view it as risky is because they don't answer this question of like let's just explore what could happen if you were fearless and could not fail I want you tomorrow to list as many of these options

as possible if you want our help Reinventing yourself I'll link down below our metamorphic coaching program where we help individuals like you go from watching all this education that's really just entertainment into implementing it I've worked with over 900 people just like you watching the YouTube videos being like how the heck do I use this is my life any different different than it was last year completely wipe the Slate clean reinvent yourself and normally if you're going through like a transitory time break up wanting to switch jobs uh getting out of college like like those

big moments we always say your breakdowns can be breakthroughs if you use them it's the perfect time so if you're someone who's looking to ask the tough questions reinvent yourself then I'll link down below we can talk to one of our coaches for free see if it's for you question number two let's mix it up what will I be most proud of one year from today what are you a year from today going to be most proud of I think it's very important to use the word proud of I'm not talking about egoic Pride like

look at me I'm the man I'm feeling proud of your character that's very different my point what will you be most proud of a year from now is it getting in the best shape of your life and not just talking about it and saying it with empty words but like actually putting some focus and energy behind it is it committing in your relationship getting married getting engaged maybe this is the year that happens finally getting out of debt fixing the finances is it transitioning jobs and making a big leap that you've been putting off whatever

it is I'm just throwing out ideas here what are you going to be most proud of a year from now man this could be its own video but um one of the things I've been processing and playing with this year uh you know this is probably 15 years in the self-improvement space believe it or not making videos for 12 is there's kind of two camps with self-improvement I've realized the first Camp is like very heavy and it's almost approaching self-improvement of self-hate and it's really toxic take your shirt off and say you're fat you're a

loser in the mirror and that should motivate you like it's motivating you out of fear this other Camp is motivating yourself out of excitement and what's best for you and what you want to do this is like I'm afraid to get in trouble and it's very childish total different energy here I remember running this business and I was operating out of this camp like okay I'm going to force myself to do things when I don't feel like it I'm going to use discipline because discipline is freedom all these things that sound good and Tik Tok

and Instagram sound bites but um if you use them and let them be your North Stars and guiding principles you're going to end up with a life that you resist a lot of and I had to ask myself why am I forcing things do I my whole life to feel like I'm forcing myself to do things because I don't feel like it why don't I feel like doing things and so that's where this Camp comes and you know I pivoted my whole business a while ago Dude I feel like every year I'm pivoting and Reinventing

yourself and trying to find ways that are not lazy right where you're avoiding efforts but feel more effortless because they're more in lined friction comes when grooves are misaligned you got two gears grinding against each other that's a lot of friction and eventually they're either going to grind themselves to where they fit and there's not a lot of friction or they're going to stop the whole machine and it breaks that's kind of what happens when you grind on yourself you're going to have a lot of friction you're either going to burn the heck out you're

going to stop everything or you're going to find a way to make it work and make it more effortless I hope that point makes sense so this question what will I be most proud of one year from today I think that when you go after feeling excited feeling proud making things fun these are ways you can tap more into this effortless self-improvement instead of this just like heaviness in this grinding and forcing things you know but question number three might be the most important one what are the three things I need to stop doing I

want you to identify three things that if you didn't do would help you get out of your own way and would be better for you getting more done in one week than most do in an entire year by waking up choosing what you want yes that comes from what you're doing but I found and haven't you noticed this success is equal parts about what you're not doing in the same way we could use dieting as an example you know I got a few extra lbs on me trying to get ready for Beach season here tracking

some calories I learned very quickly how easy it is to stop eating 1,000 calories versus how hard it is to try and burn 1,000 calories you know you want to burn 1,000 calories go on a 2hour run and don't stop that's literally the amount of effort it takes to burn th000 calories or we could just not Bing e at night and we don't need the 2-hour run every single day Penny saved is a penny earned kind of thing the point for you here what are the three things detracting from your happiness what are the three

things that are robbing you of your energy and man if you can just find what three things you need to stop doing I think this year is going to unlock a lot of growth for you but perhaps my favorite question that I want you to ask yourself tomorrow at that coffee shop my friend is question number four this one is very near and dear to me it's something throughout my 20s that has saved me years just memorize this question whenever you're stuck ask yourself this what do you ask you ask yourself question number four what

advice would I give someone else in my exact same situation you right now in your situation if you ever feel stuck distance yourself from it take a step back pretend it's not you in this situation it's your close friend or a family member what advice would you tell them ah dude I just don't know what to do about this job like I don't like it I'm drained I don't like my boss I don't want to be here in the next 5 years pretend that's not you what advice would you give that person I don't know

what to do about my relationship ship pretend it's not you what advice would you give to that person now why do this why like create a buffer between you and your problems or your confusion well the simple fact that you've realized I'm sure it's easier to give advice than take it I don't think this is the hypocritical thing I don't think this is a malicious thing I think that we always know every single detail and the same thinking that caused the problem we're trying to use to get out of the problem so the way you

do that and step out of the show pretend it's not your problem pretend it's someone else's and you're way more objective that way instead of like your subjective experience I feel like this is the right like feelings are important yes gut feelings and instincts for sure but logically you know sometimes we're reading too much into things or we make things 10 times harder than they need to be so what advice would you give someone else in your exact same situation to recap what you learned we went over how to get more done this week than

most people do in entire year how do you do that you don't do that through some productivity hack or planning your day in certain increments all that can help but if you never wake up to the sleepwalking nature of Life most people are going through and living in it doesn't matter it's straightening deck chairs on a Titanic the very thing you need to do to get more done stop wasting your life is wake up make the choice how do you do that you ask yourself in my opinion in these four questions you're going to do

that either today or tomorrow make some time take an hour take two hours but please write these down and do these and if you don't do these no self-improvement video is going to matter no book you read is going to matter no life philosophy like these are the most important things you can ask yourself if you truly want to get ahead this week and make it way more productive than most people spend an entire year avoiding all right we do it was that useful let me know in the comments like this uh do you like

the vibe do you like the format love feedback here thanks so much for watching I'm Clark stop settling start living see you in the next one peace
