all right let's talk about some productivity tactics i made a video on my main channel titled would you open the letter and the concept is i even have another letter behind me and the exact same thing i didn't even mean to like um i can see i've literally not even opened it see that's [ __ ] i don't even know i'm not going to show you the address my [ __ ] style is turning up at my house bro but um exact same thing 6 7 p.m i'm like slowly unwinding for bedtime exact same thing
brother sister walks in with the letter i grab it just throw it to the side of my room i'll open it like 2 p.m today now i want to talk about some key productivity tactics because that video was about productivity but i just wanted to like go through this certain situation and you can probably relate with emails that you receive messages that you receive letters your attention is going to be stolen from you if you don't guard it carefully like to most guys this is something that you've never even considered and it's so vital you
know everything you've wanted as a man you wanted to achieve success you wanted to build a better body you want to like make the business get a high level career attract a girlfriend everything that you've wanted think about what it comes down to your focus your productivity your ability to do work do not allow like other people to steal your ability to do work do not allow yourself to become distracted by [ __ ] what you need to have is like a perfect fantastic routine where you stay like utterly focused best case scenarios you wake
up and your phone's [ __ ] switched off in fact i'm going to start doing that you know i don't wake up to an alarm clock anymore for like better sleep and this is actually a big one we should talk about sleep there's all these productivity tactics that really like has changed the trajectory of where this video was going to go i didn't consider this but there's all these productivity tactics but honestly if you just implement the some of the fundamentals you'll be twice as productive as you currently are without thinking much of it and
sleep is the number one main thing that you can do trust me when i say like i've watched and learned from a bunch of successful people i've read a lot of books i've watched a lot of like videos podcasts of like successful productive you know like those cold-hearted businessmen who work for hours and everything i've learned a lot from them because my my idea has always been that i want to learn from these guys who like do lots of work and everything so that i can do it better than them and like have to work
less so i don't have to work like 10 hour days and everything and the number one thing that all these guys you know these cold-hearted type of businessmen who you you would assume they're all saying like five hours of sleep and [ __ ] every single one of them say that the number one thing that they've done to improve their productivity is sleeping more how is your sleep be totally totally honest now here's the thing whatever you just thought then like oh yeah like it it's good i don't really have to or maybe you kind
of know it's not too good your self-analysis of your sleep is usually not accurate in like studies done in like you know research like i don't have like the [ __ ] um qualification in the ship but from the the books that i've read why we sleep by matthew walker and i've watched a bunch of his podcasts most people don't after you're sleep deprived for a certain level you actually lose the ability to really like be aware of how low you are functioning because you kind of get used to functioning as if you're [ __
] crippled as if you've lost like 20 iq points as if as if you've lost 20 of your your memory capabilities so you right now you won't really know if you're even sleep deprived like you'll know because you've got shitty habits and it's so extreme but for the majority of young guys where it's a lot less extreme and it's still like it's still significant but it's not to the point that it's so obvious which is going to be the majority it's pretty much everyone i think the stat was like 80 of people are sleep like
don't sleep it long enough you must have the humility to write to right now just think yep chances are it has to be me when i tell you like i've invested a lot of time and money into my sleep i've done sleep experiments i track my sleep data every single night and i promise you right now that i'm part of that 80 percent and i've really tried chances are that you are too that's what the main place to start right now is just think okay how can i improve my sleep you want the easiest advice
to implement just allocate more time to bed go to bed 20 minutes earlier 30 minutes earlier and just try to sleep a little bit earlier you know like turn all the lights off read with like a dim light or read on like a kindle read with like the like um night shift you know like the orangey screen thing wake up a little bit later if you can that's the number one best thing you can do is literally just extend how long you're in bed for nice and simple another productivity tactic is batching batching is like
it's common sense but most people don't actually do this so imagine you have a dirty bathrobe would you just put this one bathrobe in the washing machine and nothing else and then the next time you have a dirty shirt which you need to wash and then the next time a dirty pants would you put each one into the washing machine per time no of course not you'd batch it you'd fill up the washing machine wouldn't you when you're driving would you stop every single time you go past the gas station and fill up your tank
with five dollars no of course not you'd stop when you really need gas and then you put in twenty dollars thirty dollars fifty dollars because when you're doing a thing you can do multiple of that thing at the same time so i could get my camera out i could set up my light set up my room and everything and like move all like the [ __ ] clothes on the floor just move them so you can't even see them behind my bed i could do that record one video and then call it a day and
like you know upload the video and everything and put it into my editor's document upload it to youtube and stuff okay that would be like kind of a waste of time because at the same time that i called one video why don't i just record three videos because the setup time of this you see like okay everything's already set up this is the third video i'm recording right now everything's set up the light is set up everything in my room is set up i'm already in the flow of things imagine if i literally just recorded
one video and i just like stopped everything uploaded it one time it's not worth it now what could you batch what do you check in terms of like messages and emails that's one of the big ones you might not think that like a message you know like going on whatsapp text message instagram dms you might not think that replying to them or replying to emails takes that long and technically it doesn't you can reply to a message how fast two seconds three seconds you know you see a message it it changes like it saps your
focus for more like 15 minutes there's like an old like quite classical study from like king's college or kings like london or some [ __ ] like some like prestigious university in the uk i wonder how they did how they legally did this but they tested that the effects of having a phone with notifications actually ruined your productivity more than being high literally so it's better for you to [ __ ] smoke weed it's better for you to be stoned than it is to like reply to messages in the middle of a work task because
as soon as you reply to messages as soon as you just take your focus away from the task at hand it's it's just corrupted and this is so much more important than it really seems to you because again everything that you want just comes from your ability to focus on a task and really just perform well whether that's weightlifting you want to build like a muscular physique whether that's being able to cultivate like positive loving relationships with people that you care about able to like make businesses and level up in your career it's all based
on your focus and it seems so innocent to just you know be doing some work and oh let me just like take a [ __ ] facebook break i remember being in high school right and i was in history class and the teacher asked this one guy how long his work had taken her his homework and he like he he answered that including facebook breaks and i didn't think anything of it that back then but it just popped up into my mind just thinking like bro like that it just sounds [ __ ] cringe like
first of all facebook break but just this is so normalized to disrupt your focus with all this [ __ ] [ __ ] technology around you it's so normalized to check discord to check what's up and [ __ ] for at least half of the the first part of your day for the least like four five six hours of of your morning your afternoon when you're in the middle of you know the best work that you could do turn your phone off keep it on silent turn it on like my phone has been on do
not disturb for around four years i'm not taking up the piss my phone has been on do not disturb all notifications disabled for multiple years even before i became like productive even before i went on to like self-improvements i disabled all that [ __ ] because i'm not a dumbass like i wasn't like i am a dumbass but i'm not like a [ __ ] like cringe [ __ ] who wants to take like facebook breaks when you're trying to achieve something for yourself you don't you can't afford these [ __ ] facebook breaks do
you know what's better than a facebook break achieve like the big goals that you have for your business for your homework for all this [ __ ] that you want to do and then go spend 30 minutes one hour on facebook afterwards no problem don't disrupt the tasks that you're doing halfway to like go and do something it's so much better with this deep work this unrelentless focus you have this task in front of you you sit down and you do it one hour two hours no like non-stop not looking at this um anything else
apart from like a computer screen none of this [ __ ] [ __ ] like little [ __ ] um productivity pomodoro like i can't believe people recommend the pomodoro technique bro you're like you are a little [ __ ] if you use it i'm just going to be totally honest this idea 25 minutes and then i take a five-minute break bro it's literally been proven time and time again that the pomodoro technique is like it's not good for productivity whatsoever it's the only one benefit is that you're if you're a total sperg and you
can convince yourself like oh but i'll only work for 25 minutes and i can have a break but it's like [ __ ] up bro just stop stop like seeing yourself as like such a little child that you have to like lie to yourself and say oh 25 minutes start talking to yourself like you're a [ __ ] man and sit sit down to yourself and say yeah i'm gonna do this task it is in my capability to sit down and focus on this tax for two hours of course there's gonna be some feelings of
boredom of course there's gonna be some feelings of distraction but i'm gonna sit down i'm gonna do this task for two hours i'm making that commitment to myself [ __ ] 25 minutes and then a five minute oh but oh i can't do any more work my pomodoro technique timer has gone off oh no look everyone does anyone want to add me on the forest app look how many trees shut the [ __ ] up bro look how many trees i've added to the forest app guys bro look look at what you're doing bro if
you've got these apps download if you set a 25 minute timer for your [ __ ] work if you set like oh but i've planted trees on my product bro just sit there just look at yourself in the [ __ ] mirror do you see a man or a little [ __ ] like little girl who's like oh but the colorful trees i've almost unlocked the next tree come on bro i can't speak to you like like you're a man bro and then working on things that are essential the ac20 rule now you've heard this
so many times you're thinking okay this video is going to get start to get a bit [ __ ] now because he's talking about [ __ ] that i've heard too many times that's what you're thinking they like everyone talks about the 80 20 rule but they just put it in this like autistic like the pareto's principle and there was more lecture to [ __ ] up the easiest thing that you've got to focus on what is the true one or two things that are going to make a difference for you in this area that
you're trying to work on forget everything else what is the one or two things that's going to make a significant difference that is going to give you the absolute best they are that are absolutely essential that you cannot continue without for me it's recording videos right so as a youtuber it's recording videos and then it's simply just learning so that i can record more videos those are the two things that i do every time that i take a step up like away from the two main like tasks my 80s like the things that give me
80 of my results and i do [ __ ] like [ __ ] collabs and dms and all you know just a random other [ __ ] that i could be doing and all this like everyone tells me make a tick tock shut the [ __ ] up i'm mommy can you text oh hamza your your brand image like the um [ __ ] merch and like oh change of your profile picture what if you change your youtube banana hamza what if you did i don't give a [ __ ] i don't give a [
__ ] i record videos and i read that's all i do with work i record videos and i read i record videos and i read those are my 80 what are yours and don't [ __ ] yourself there is one or two tasks that are absolutely essential for you and all the other ones are unessential and those other ones distract you from the essential you must clarify this to yourself right now what is the absolute essential then double down triple down on them for me it's recording so like literally all i focus on is just
learning so i can teach more things and then also like a meta learning where i can like record better so i like i can learn how to present myself better how to tell us better stories that's all i focus on every time that i take a step away from that i just think to myself afterwards i was like well that was kind of like a waste of time wasn't it it was like that wasn't a good use of my time whatsoever why did i just spend like half a day making this [ __ ] website
you know just stupid [ __ ] like this why did i just like make a lot like i've never made a logo because i'm not a [ __ ] weirdo but people make logos just [ __ ] make me cringe oh today i'm gonna write my business pl no offense to him right yeah i know he doesn't watch my videos no offense to him but there's an old friend that i have and we were both business-minded and like he just didn't really do much with it he was the type of guy who like he would
write business plans and [ __ ] um business plan here's my logo and he would do all this like on it important stuff in the book by mj demarco millionaire the book the millionaire fastlane and then also his second book unscripted mj demarco fantastic author if you want to become financially free he talks about action faking and he always like he was criticizing the people who do this saying like they just waste time on these like [ __ ] tasks are you like a bullshitter just be totally honest are you a bullshitter what have you
like think about the last few tasks that you've done think about excuse me think about the last week have you just been wasting your [ __ ] time doing these like little unimportant tasks be totally honest because you're gonna right now you're gonna be so certain because you don't wanna admit weakness you're gonna be so certain that everything that you've done is like of utmost importance and i'm sorry i already know about the 80 20 rule have some humility and ask yourself what if you were wrong have some humility and ask yourself what would hamza
think about the tasks that you've just been doing now of course i'm a bit of a dick but if you tell me like you're a youtuber yeah i've literally just been focused on recording i'd be like yeah good so you can see like i wouldn't just like be horrible to you for no reason if you're like trying to study then if you've been literally studying and focusing on like memory memorization techniques and fair enough if you've been like practicing the exam papers and exams and stuff fair enough if you've been color coding [ __ ]
post-it and what like those [ __ ] students were like highlighting in multiple colors and writing notes and like you know reading a book and like doing study sessions and all this [ __ ] bro come on ask yourself right now what would i think about the task that you've been doing over the last week be cut throat only one or two tasks are worth your time and then like your time should go into doubling down on those tasks get better at those tasks do like metal learning for those tasks if you're studying right now
for an exam stop all this [ __ ] about these colour-coded techniques and all this [ __ ] study the actual paper study like you know practice the test do whatever the the specific thing that you have to like practice for and then do meta learning where now you're gonna learn how to like literally watch a course or something how to improve your memory how to improve like your study scores by like improving your sleep in your diet beforehand those are like metal learning the things that kind of help the the thing indirectly that's what
you should spend your time with there's like this extra stuff that people do because everyone has this like small dick mindset of like the any benefit everyone wants any benefits if it gives you a benefit everyone's like oh yes yeah i'll do it then who cares about any benefits you will now chase after the best benefit when you find the thing which gives you the best benefit towards your goal you triple down on that this any benefit mindset especially as you become more successful i didn't think the video would go this way but as you
become more successful if you're someone who's like popping off on like social media if you're if your business is doing really well if you're becoming more social you'll realize as you become more successful even in grades and you know you become better students you'll get so many more opportunities and the majority of those opportunities are part of the 20 part of the 80 that give you 20 of your success success leads to failure for most people right now maybe you're not successful but eventually it will happen to you that you know you've been working hard
your grades start going up and you're getting all these extra curricular activities that will take you away from the thing that was actually improving your grades this is that dilemma of like the young athlete who's working really really hard like some boxers some ufc player or some [ __ ] and they they're working really hard they're totally focused and then they get in they do really well everyone's celebrating they want so much money now they get invited to parties and they start taking drugs and they start [ __ ] a lot of women i'm living
the life and then they kind of hung over for the next competition and they get [ __ ] destroyed by the guy who's still focused this happens to many many athletes this happens to most like social media influencers because a lot of them are brain dead don't let it happen to you focus on the best benefit and double triple down on it and understand that there's going to be so many things that will give you a benefit this is what you must put into your mind that everything eventually when you like get higher and higher
up eventually everything every opportunity will give you some kind of benefit every single one will give you a benefit and you'll be thinking like oh no but we could if you know if i did that club we might get some subscribers if i did that brand deal we might get some money if i if i sign up for this [ __ ] duke of edinburgh like they're coming to schools and they tell children like oh do the duke of edinburgh award where you can go camping with some teacher who keeps trying to touch you and
but they'll look really good on your cv when you apply for your application to to universe shut up bro focus on the best benefit that not like the one or the two things that give you like literally the exact the exact result that you want do the hard work especially when you don't feel like it
