others does nothing it doesn't solve your problem let's say you blame your friends family job or anything else for not having enough time to exercise you can condemn the whole world all the blame in the world will not help you find time to exercise if you want to find a solution you will find it it's not that a Solution doesn't exist it exists and you know it deep inside of your heart only action can help you achieve your goals nothing else no one can help you achieve your goals nobody cares if you're lazy or not
nobody cares if you procrastinate or not nobody cares if you exercise or not why would they care nobody cares it would be best for you if you do things for yourself you must act you must find time it is easier to sit on the couch and watch TV TV than go for a run it's Easier to scroll on social media than to read a book it easier to procrastinate than to work hard our mind always goes towards the easy option you need to change it to choose the best choice for yourself not the easy one
we blame all the time to avoid confronting our problems because it's super easy to blame you blame someone else and boom you no longer think that maybe you can do something about it every action that you take or not take impacts your life So the next time you blame someone else for your problem consider the consequences your future is in the hands of your present actions don't even think about the past it's already gone there are only two things that the past can give you lessons and regrets learn from the past but don't let him

a mess so how can it change yours you must do it yourself it's in your own hands you can be lazy and wait for others to help but you will wait Forever get this out of your head that somebody else can help you achieve your goals stop being dependent on other people you have the power to choose whether you want to remain lazy or want to do something meaningful in life here's a great fictional story of a farmer once there was a farmer he had a wheat farm but there was a sparrow nest in his
wheat farm and there were four little children of that Sparrow in that Nest the sparrow used to go daily in the Forest to feed her little children one day when she returned from the forest she found their children were terrified she asked them what had happened and why they were so scared they said the farmer had come here today and discussed wheat harvesting he said he would send his sons to cut the crops tomorrow they said where they will go after crops have been cut after listening to their children the sparrow said that nobody would
come tomorrow to Cut the wheat crops so don't be scared the next day the same happened as Sparrow said no one came there to cut the crops many days passed but no one came there to cut the crops everything was going well Sparrow's children were very happy one day when Sparrow returned from the forest she was again shocked by seeing her children's faces they were so scared again Sparrow asked them the reason behind their fear they again said the farmer had come here today and Discussed crop harvesting today he said he would send the laborers
to cut the crops tomorrow tomorrow after listening to them Sparrow again told them not to worry no one would come tomorrow the next day again the same happened to Sparrow said no one came there to cut the crops furthermore many days passed but no one came there to cut the crops again one day the sparrow returned from the forest and she saw her children's scared faces again she asked Again about their fear they said the farmer came here again today and talked about wheat harvesting but today he said he has wasted a lot of time
depending on others and he said that tomorrow he will come to cut the crops by himself after listening to this the sparrow said tomorrow we will leave this place and make our nest in some other place Sparrow told their children that tomorrow he would cut the wheat crops that's why we must leave this place the Next day the same happened as the sparrow said the farmer came there and cut the crops after seeing this the Sparrow's little children asked his mother if whatever you said went right every time what was the reason behind this Sparrow
said the farmer was dependent upon his sons the first time and the second time he was dependent upon laborers that's why the work was not completed but the third time he was not Dependent upon anyone that's why he succeeded this time three types of people there are three types of people I see all around me one the first one is the majority of people they never start they never do anything they sit there and be lazy they never work on their dreams they never do what they are supposed to do they're just waiting for something
good to happen two the second type of people are those who start but as soon as things get hard they give up And then they regret why they gave up three the third type of people are those who work hard don't give up despite hardships and keep going they're the 1% who do become successful one must be persistent things aren't always smooth things can go wrong and will go wrong your path will have obstacles but you must progress toward your goals life is not a Sprint but a marathon it's long and hard there is no
reward for the quitters who quit halfway you must reach The Finish Line to achieve something control what you can control you must be aware of what you can and can't control don't become sad when things which you can't control don't work according to your plan don't confuse what you can and can't control not everything is out of your control there are a lot of things that you can control that will improve your life you have have control over your mind you have control over the amount of hard work you do but you have No control
over what other people will think about you worrying about things you can't control will make your life miserable comfort zone is your enemy a comfort zone is a beautiful place but nothing ever grows there unknown one of the biggest reasons people are lazy and always want to do everything tomorrow is because they are too comfortable with their lives they don't want to change the way things are going doing the things that you're Always doing is easy but it doesn't lead to the growth that you want growth demands that you step out of your comfort zone
and do the hard things it's easy to watch movies read news and scroll social media all day but it's not meaningful and you know it your body knows that you're wasting your time that's why you feel bad after you waste your time that could be used for something valuable and meaningful do you want to spend your entire life wasting Your time time is running out soon you will genuinely not have the energy to do what you want do them now stop waiting for something to happen automatically nothing is going to happen you must make it
happen after leaving their comfort zone nobody says that they wish they stayed there you will feel Blissful after you stop procrastinating and start doing what you want nothing gives you more happiness than waking up every day with the energy to start working on the Things you want to do keep it simple whenever you're trying to do something new always try to keep it as simple as possible don't try to do too much at one time don't overthink about all the things that can go wrong most of the time they don't go wrong at all what
you should do is to start as soon as possible you need to have urgency the urge to do things fast not urgency in getting the desired results but the urgency in doing the work let's say you Want to learn how to create a website you can start right now or you can keep waiting your first plan never works you need to make adjustments you may even need to change your plan altogether do it and do it as fast as possible speed is crucial you don't have as much time as you think you have keep things
simple and do things with lightning speed most decisions should probably be made with somewhere around 70% of the information you wish you had if you wait For 90% in most cases you're probably being slow Jeff Bezos start to think a little bit differently if everyone is thinking alike then somebody isn't thinking George S Patton you do not need to think just like everyone else you can judge for yourself you can think like no one else and it is entirely okay you must think and do different things than anyone else to get different results you can't
do what everybody else is doing and expect different results You can't do what you have been doing in the past and predict a different outcome this time most of the time the outcome is the same if you're lazy you know the result just like the last time set clear goals we should set clear goals that are both possible and can be achieved quickly say setting huge ambitious goals is not bad but the problem is if you're a super lazy person you will not work toward that goal because it would seem too hard and impossible to
Achieve that's why in the start you should set small easy goals that can be achieved goals should also be clear for example a clear goal is that you want to lose 2 kilograms in one month an unclear goal is that you want to be healthy a goal that can't be measured and has no time duration is not a goal you're just expecting a miracle to happen write down your goals if you don't write down your goals on paper you should start doing it now you will not regret it if you have Clearly written goals and
read them regularly they will motivate you you will feel some guilt if you don't do what you have written even if you achieve half of your goals that's still better than doing nothing don't over complicate I'm not a big fan of all the various apps that people use to measure their productivity I think it's a complete waste of time you don't need any app to focus on your goals I prefer writing things you only need two things Pen and paper that's it don't over complicate simple stuff anything more than that is just a waste of
energy you will regret it later when we don't do what we actually want to do and instead procrastinate that thing keeps bothering us it doesn't allow us to live in peace because we subconsciously know that we are lazy and should do that task but we don't think longterm you can do two things you can think longterm and do things things that will be valuable for You in the long term or you can satisfy your short-term pleasures and ignore the future one should have in mind how the actions that they take in the present are going
to affect the future one thing that I can tell you for sure is that you will always regret being lazy laziness feels good in the present as it gives an immediate dopamine hit doing something new is hard and doesn't give an instant dopamine hit but in the future you will always regret being lazy and never doing Things that you want to do you need to delay instant gratification do hard things take some stress and make sacrifices so that you can achieve your future goals I'm not telling you not to avoid all fun in the present
entirely but sometimes short sacrifices are necessary for a better future take risk don't be afraid of risks if you want to achieve anything in your life you must jump from a comfortable position to an uncomfortable position the regret of not Taking a risk is enormous you are going to regret your entire life if you don't take risks taking risks is SC scary and should be but not taking risks is even scarier the biggest risk is not taking any risk in a world that is changing really quickly the only strategy that is guaranteed to fail is
not taking risks Mark Zuckerberg no good no bad stop thinking everything is either good or bad there are a lot of bad things that happen to me and I'm happy now that they Happen to me as they changed the trajectory of my life here's a great story there was a farmer with a horse hor who helped him in farming the villagers constantly told the farmer how lucky he was to have such a great horse maybe he would reply one day the horse ran away the villagers came to the farmer to express their sympathies that's too
bad the villagers said maybe the farmer replied a few days later the horse returned home with 10 strong wild Horses that's great isn't it the Villager said maybe the farmer again replied the next day the farmer's son was riding one of the horses when it kicked him off and broke his leg the villagers arrived to express their dismay that's too bad they said maybe the farmer replied a military officer marched into the village the next day recruiting able-bodied young men for the war the farmer's son with his broken leg was left behind the villagers were
Joyful your son has been spared what beautiful luck the farmer smiled maybe self-discipline we must all suffer from one of two pains the pain of discipline or the pain of regret Jim ran self-discipline means doing the things that are good for your future but are hard to do in the present going to the gym is hard but sitting on the couch is easy it's hard to start a business but it's easy to procrastinate it's hard to read books but easy to watch movies it's Hard to wake up early but easy to lay in a warm
bed all things that are going to improve your life are hard always ask yourself this question well I regret not doing this in the future future if the answer is yes it must be done no matter how hard it is do what needs to be done there's no shortage of remarkable ideas what's missing is the will to execute them Seth Goden discipline means doing anything that needs to be done if this means working hard then you will work Harder if it means working smarter then you will be working smarter never avoid doing the things you
want to do just because they're hard procrastination is the enemy of discipline procrastination means avoiding doing a task that needs to be done by giving excuses to do it later without giving excuses you will feel bad and we don't want to feel bad so we give different types of excuses the most popular one is I'm waiting for the right Time the time will never be right it can't be perfect there are always going to be obstacles in your way many things will try their best to make you lazy and procrastinate but you must overcome all
of them delay gratification it's hard to delay gratification because we want to enjoy things now nothing is wrong with it but the problem arises when you do things that harm your future actions that you will regret in the future and you will Be asking yourself why did I do that you must look in both directions present and future you must enjoy the present but not at the cost of your future by being lazy you don't enjoy both your present and future do it now only put off until tomorrow what you are willing to die having
left undone Pablo Picasso the time is never going to be perfect perfect if it becomes perfect then there is a chance that it's already too late you can wait all you want nothing will Happen or you can start today and move towards achieving your goals you can't wait for the perfect time better resources or more experience even if you don't have a perfect plan with all the details you can start today and figure things out along the way there are no hacks stop looking for an easy way out you can know all the tiny tips
and hacks but you must do the work a lot of people are just way too focused on learning than doing learning is great but alone It will not be enough you must put in the work to get things done stop looking for hacks before you even begin first start and then learn about various methods to do things faster don't let failure stop you there are always ups and downs in life sometimes you're doing great sometimes you're not here is a great story once a king called upon all of his wise men and asked them is
there a mantra or suggestion that works in every Situation circumstance place and time in every joy every sorrow every defeat and every Victory one answer for all questions all the wise men were puzzled by the kingk question an old man suggested something that appealed to all of them they went to the king and gave him something written on paper with the condition that the king would not see it out of curiosity only in extreme danger when the king finds himself alone and there Seems to be no way can he see it the king put the
papers under his diamond ring sometime later the neighbors attacked the kingdom King and his army fought bravely but lost the battle the king had to flee on his horse the enemies were following him and getting closer and closer suddenly the king found himself standing at the end of the road that road was not going anywhere underneath there was a Rocky Valley a th000 ft deep if he jumped into it he Would be finished and he could not return because it was a small Road in the sound of horses was approaching fast the king became Restless
there seemed to be no way then suddenly he saw the diamond in his ring shining in the Sun and remembered the message hidden in the ring he opened the diamond and read the message the message was this to shall pass the king read it again read it suddenly something struck him yes this to will pass only a few days ago I was Enjoying my kingdom I was the mightiest of all the kings yet today the king and all my Pleasures have gone I'm here trying to escape from enemies as those days of luxuries have gone
this day of danger too will pass a calm came on his face he kept standing there the place where he was standing was full of natural beauty he had never known that such a beautiful place was also a part of his kingdom the revelation of the message had a significant effect on him He relaxed and forgot about those following him after a few minutes he realized that the noise of the horses and the enemy coming was receding they moved into another part of the mountains and were nowhere near him he reorganized his army and fought
again he defeated the enemy and regained his Empire when he returned to his Empire after Victory he was received with much fanfare the whole Capital was rejoicing in the victory everyone was in a festive mood Flowers were being showered on King from every house from every corner people were dancing and singing for a moment the king said I'm one of the bravest and greatest Kings it is not easy to defeat me suddenly the diamond of his ring flashed in the sunlight reminding him of the message he opens it and rereads it this two Shall Pass
work on the right things even Michelangelo would have trouble getting out of bed if he had nothing but a day of spreadsheets ahead It's hard to imagine Leonardo da Vinci working for a corporation or being a government bureaucrat VY Andrew you should ask yourself whether you're working on the right thing there is no point in doing things that shouldn't be done at all you will always be lazy if you don't love what you do these are signs by your body that you should try to change your work do something meaningful you can never be motivated

don't love your work start finding a way to leave your work as soon as possible you can never be happy in a sad job love what you do it will make you at ease with existence listen to your inner self it will guide you don't run away from hard things doing what you love doesn't mean you run away from the complex parts of your job it doesn't mean you don't give your 100% it doesn't Mean that you become lazy and don't work hard whenever we start doing something new the motivation is high and we begin
with excitement as soon as the initial motivation wears off the complex reality of the work starts to appear problems begin to arise it becomes more challenging and then we stop liking our work even though we love it it's our passion following your passion doesn't guarantee that you will always be happy When Vincent Van go was 27 he entirely dedicated himself to painting he used to work with extreme intensity pain painting was his whole life he was highly productive he used to paint at lightning speed but despite his hard work and genius he struggled financially because
his painting wouldn't sell as he was ahead of his time he was supported mainly financially by his younger brother Theo vanel his mental health deteriorated and on July 27th th 1890 he Was painting in a field himself when he shot himself in the chest with a pistol and 2 days later he died learned a priori you can't do everything we have limited energy and must spend it in the best way possible you don't want to spread it too much to risk exhaustion and no results you're more likely to give up if you see no results
and are exhausted too much you need to focus your energy on selected tasks the less the better attract not Chase don't chase Anything don't run after anything work to make yourself better so that everything is attracted to you focus on yourself everything else will take care of itself you are great stop feeding your mind that you're not good enough to do anything you can do it don't be your own biggest enemy by feeding your mind negative things be confident that you can do things the biggest reason people remain lazy is that they keep thinking that
they aren't Good enough you are great start doing in the end everything will be okay don't be a perfectionist perfectionism is a disease procrastination is a disease action is the cure Richie Norton I'm not saying Perfection is terrible but it's not worth it in every part of your life beautiful things exist because someone spends much time on Tiny details without Perfection the world wouldn't be that great there would be only lowquality things all around us the world is Beautiful both due to its Perfection and imperfection Leonardo da Vinci was obsessed with tiny details he would
spend years trying to paint a single painting when designing the Cathedral of Milan he created hundreds of designs it took him more than 10 years to to paint the famous Mona Lisa Steve Jobs also had a crazy obsession with details when designing the first Macintosh computer he insisted that the circuit board wires should look straight and beautiful even Though no one would see the inside as only the technician could open the computer with special tools if you're painting or creating something then yes it should be as perfect as possible but if you're doing something like
cutting grass which is going to regrow in a few weeks don't spend your entire day trying to be a perfectionist and trying to cut each blade of grass with perfection you should be able to turn on and off the Switch of perfectionism sometimes it's needed and sometimes it's not don't make a default setting of always being a perfectionist change it according to circumstances don't hide your laziness with perfection here is an excellent quote by Shane Parish if a decision is reversible make it as soon as possible if it is irreversible make it as late as
possible done is better than perfect not all things can be done perfectly you can't Sit there and spend days on a task that can be done in a few minutes lazy people always do this when they finally decide to start working on a project and they start worrying about all the tiny details they get so overwhelmed by the details that they never even begin doing it don't be mediocre mediocrity doesn't just happen it's chosen over time through small choices day by day Todd Henry we always have the choice of becoming great or becoming mediocre to
Become great it's not an easy task you have to give your very best each day there will be failures you will struggle a lot to become mediocre you don't have to do anything your goal in life is never to be an average person you must give your best mediocre people never give their best they settle down once things are a little bit okay or they know that if they keep going things will become hard 99% of the people settle for less than they want they settle for the Jobs they hate and then they Wonder why
they aren't productive are not happy lack motivation and don't wake up with the energy to do their job how can you wake up happy doing something you hate your work will fill a large part of your life and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work and the only way to do great work is to love what you do if you haven't found it yet keep looking don't settle as with all matters of the heart You'll know when you find it Steve Jobs nobody wants to be mediocre
if you don't believe it ask someone do you want to become mediocre you will get the answer the answer is always going to be no the one big reason people are mediocre is everyone around them is also mediocre and if you try to become a little bit ambitious people will tell you all sorts of things to destroy your ambition they don't want to shine maybe they want you to but if you aren't mediocre it will Make them feel bad inside their heart knowing they're wasting their human potential when we are children we have all sorts
of Dreams and aspirations and then something happens and everybody falls in love with mediocrity people have no sense of energy inside them to do something that time is passing by and they're just dragging through life instead of living it think big even if you fail that will still be better than the regret of never trying to push your Boundaries imagine being an 80-year-old wishing you could travel the world pursue your dreams and live how you want to not how other people want to you still have time at least for now you have it but one
day there will be no time to do anything death will be standing at your door live your life always doing what you want to you will need no productivity tips you will stop being lazy because a sense of purpose will be inside you if you don't like Your work change your work if you don't like your friends change your friends if you don't like your thinking change your thinking if you don't like your life change your life remember that a life of greatness is harder than life of mediocracy it's not easy but the path will
be worth it the myth of multitasking the man who chases two rabbits catches neither confucious on December 11th 1998 NASA launched the Mars climate Orbiter to Study the climate of Mars the Mars climate Orbiter cost $125 million to build on September 23rd 1999 the spacecraft entered orbit with Mars and then suddenly NASA lost contact with it it was due to a simple error Engineers failed to convert from English units to metric the spacecraft got too close to Mars and it was destroyed multitasking means doing more than one thing at a time it sounds good but
it doesn't work we can't focus on multiple important Things at the same time if you have two important tasks then multitasking will reduce your efficiency you're also more likely to Tire quickly if you switch tasks continuously as the saying goes the devil is in the details you need to have complete focus on whatever you're doing at the moment switching tasks will reduce your focus and you're more likely to make tiny mistakes that can have a huge impact the more you switch from one Task to another the faster you will get tired when you're tired you're
less likely to pay attention to Tiny details the level of stress Also Rises as we change tasks three tips that will make you more productive one avoid switching tasks work on one task with complete focus and then move to another task two remove all distraction you can from the work you're doing be completely focused on the task at hand three turn off all the Non-important notifications on your phone Focus the best thing you can do to improve your productivity is to focus on one task at a time important things aren't meant to be done with
low Focus they demand our complete Focus let's say you need to do three things the best way is to do one with complete focus and then move to the second and third the worst way is trying to do all the things at one time and switching your task Every 5 minutes to do another task you might feel that you're productive but you are not don't allow anything to interrupt your focus take a nap when you work for an extended period with Focus your mind energy will get reduced the best thing you can do is to
take a nap it may not be possible for everybody but if you can do it then it's worth it you will be more energized to work with more Focus don't go for a long nap instead opt for shorter ones less than an hour Avoid taking a nap after 3:00 p.m. you may find it difficult to sleep also if you sleep too much during the day you may have trouble sleeping at night no interruptions we work best when we aren't constantly disturbed by others it takes some time for our mind to get into a flow state
to achieve maximum output and if you're constantly distracted by things you will not be able to focus properly and your productivity will suffer most important thing if you must Do multiple things first you must know which one is important you must remove all the non-important tasks that will not help you achieve your goals in everyone's life there are a couple of things that you can stop doing and it wouldn't make any difference the biggest distraction people face is that instead of doing the important thing they start doing the non-important thing daily routine you'll never change
your life until you change something you do daily The Secret of your success is found in your daily routine John C Maxwell developing a daily routine is super important you must have some routine that you would follow without a proper routine you won't be consistent with your work some days you would be motivated and work well the rest of the days you would lack motivation and you're going to procrastinate a daily routine would help you stay consistent it will make you More focused and will help you finish important tasks without routine we prefer doing the
easy task not the important one what you do daily is going to shape your future you are the sum of everything you've done for the past few years to change who you are you must change what you do daily a routine helps your mind to stop thinking all the time about what to do next you can adjust your routine to make it as perfect as possible I suggest you Do it right now look back at yesterday and see what can be improved here's the daily routine of Leo Tolstoy Leo Tolstoy was born on September 9th

must learn how to say no when you want to say no we often say yes even if we don't want to just because we don't want to make the other person sad you accept everything other people want you to do but you only have finite energy and time if you say yes to every opportunity invite and work you're asked to do you Will soon start to feel burden by it to appease others you will lose yourself in the process say no when you want to say yes when you want to this is the only way
to take back charge of your time you don't have to be rude to say no you can say it very politely when you want to I also don't say that you have to say no to everything that's also bad you need to know when to say yes and when to say no your time is valuable and if you keep doing what others want you to do then You will be distracted from your main goal and instead start doing side things which will lower your productivity if we keep listening to others then we will have no
time to listen to our elves we need to learn how to say no to opportunities that we have no interest in and if we try to do everything we will get nothing done as the saying goes to be everywhere is to be nowhere if you're saying yes to everything then there is a chance that you're not Focused on your goals or you have no goals which is even worse if you have no goals you will get pushed by others according to their will here and there here is an excellent quote by CA if you don't
know what port you sail to no wind is favorable don't work 24/7 20 years from now the only people who will remember you worked late are your kids s Bloom the goal of becoming more productive is not to work more but it's the opposite the goal is to get Your work done in less time so that you can spend time with your friends and family if you work too long then both your creativity and productivity suffer it's not worth it to spend 12 hours every day in the office and neglect all other aspects of your
life sometimes it's okay but not all the time we should measure productivity by how much work we get done not by how much time we spend some people spend more time in the office to satisfy their Ego if you're working a lot and still aren't achieving your goals there is a high chance that you're avoiding the important things that need to be done instead of doing things that aren't that important the less important things are distracting you from doing the actual important things doing less essential things instead of the most important thing is also procrastination
don't procrastinate on the essential things they will bring most of the results you Want to achieve I have seen that people do this deliberately the essential things are hard to do so instead of doing the hard work they start doing easy things that make them appear busy life is short life is very short don't waste all your life working and then when you're old wishing you did things differently think about all the things you will regret when you're old enjoy your life you may never get a chance to do the things you can do Now
you can't enjoy travel when you're 80 less is more if you work a lot and still are not able to achieve your goals there could be two reasons one you may not be working as hard as you think you may be lazy most of the time and think you're working hard two you may be working on the wrong things you could be working on less important things things that don't matter that much you spend most of your time on minor things but don't do the Challenging and essential things everything you do has some value that
you will gain from doing it some tasks have more value in your life than others you don't want to get distracted by less important tasks you want to dedicate as much time as possible to the things that matter be productive not busy if the ladder is not leaning against the right wall every step we take just gets us to the wrong place faster Steven cvy working for 12 hours Doesn't mean anything if you are working on the wrong things you should work on things that move you toward your goals don't start climbing a ladder and
then halfway you look around and realize that you're climbing the wrong ladder work on your own dreams not the dreams of others be productive not busy there is no reward for being busy all the time don't be busy just for the sake of being busy be productive instead work on things that move you towards your goals not Away don't wait wisdom is knowing what to do next skill is knowing how to do it and virtue is doing it David star Jordan the one main main reason that a lot of people are lazy is they're always
waiting for the right time so that they can do something and guess what the right time never happens no time is good or bad you can start today and make some progress or you can wait and console yourself that your time will come throw away all the garbage that eventually Your time will come without putting in the work it won't happen you must do the work to achieve your goals I have seen zero successful people who just waited for the perfect time yes some tasks can't be done faster no matter how hard you try but
that doesn't mean that you shouldn't try at all and keep waiting don't confuse your laziness with patience patience and laziness are very different don't mix them you must put in the work every day And then you should be patient with the results a story of great patience a farmer once planted a bamboo tree the farmer watered the crop daily for a year but saw no sign of life no growth no Sprouts no hope the second year was the same as the third and fourth years his patience and faith in this miracle bamboo plant faded during
the fifth year just as he was about to give up on his dream of growing the plant he noticed it Sprout the bamboo sprung up 60 feet over The next 6 weeks this is an excellent story of both patience and hard work life is just like this there is no overnight success it takes a long time for success to happen but this also doesn't mean sitting there and doing nothing the crop didn't grow into dependently the farmer had to plan it take care of it and be patient impatient with action and patient with results a
student of Zen went to his teacher and asked earnestly I am devoted To studying Zen how long will it take me to master it 10 years the teacher said impatiently the student answered but I want to master it faster than that I will work very hard I will practice every day for 10 or more hours if necessary how long will it take then the teacher thought for a moment 20 years you have no control over the results you get or not get you can only control your actions and the work you do everyone wants to
get results fast when they're Working hard thinking they should be rewarded right now for their work but generally that doesn't happen you may work hard for years before you get the results you want you must be patient with the results but don't be patient with action don't be one of those people who think everything will be given to them automatically you must do the work first before you get the results you want a man who is a master of patience is master of everything else George Sevil no perfect time there is nothing is perfect timing
to start anything new you can start today and make some progress or you can keep waiting for the ideal time the perfect time is now there is no better time than today to start moving toward your goals stop being lazy and start doing the work that is required consistency is key to be great at anything you must do it daily and for a a long time to become a better painter you need to paint every day to become a Better writer you need to write every day to become a better speaker you need to speak
every day most people never start some start but give up as soon as things get complicated only a few are consistent and show up every day no matter how hard it gets it will get easy it may seem difficult at first but everything is difficult at first mamoto Mushi the hardest thing is to start that's where 95% of people are stuck they never Start they keep waiting and making excuses if you want to break a bad habit the first few days will be the hardest and after a few weeks it will get pretty easy to
keep going do what you say if you love to procrastinate you will not honor your words if you say that you're going to something and then you don't do it then soon people will stop trusting you I don't mean to do everything that other people ask you to do but when you finally say that going to do something Then you better do it if you say from tomorrow you're going to the gym then no matter what happens you better go to the gym do what you say stop saying things and then just be lazy honor
your word and do the things you say surround yourself with the right people you are the average of the five persons you spend the most time with Jim ran if your friends are lazy then you'll be lazy if your friends procrastinate you'll also procrastinate if your friends work hard You'll also work work hard if your friends read books you'll also start reading books there may be an outlier but that's very rare the main reason people are lazy is because whoever they spend most of their time is also lazy you adopt the habits of the person
who is very close to you they good or bad habits become yours if your friend likes to waste time you'll also join him in wasting time it's tough not to get influenced by other people so what you Can do the only thing you can do is to be aware of what you're doing only by awareness can you conquer your laziness and procrastination you must be very aware of your actions you must learn to say no this thing also goes the other way if you have friends who are not lazy don't procrastinate and have adopted good
habits you'll become like them the choice is yours the people you surround yourself will have a massive impact on your life they will shape your thoughts Actions and your life the right people will improve your life and the wrong ones will worsen your life if you're always with a negative person they will make you a negative person but instead if you surround yourself with positive people you will become a positive person you must think about whom you're surrounding yourself with change your circle to change your thinking if you want to change your thoughts you must
change everything you do you must change The people you hang around with if the people you spend the most time with are lazy negative and in no way make your life even slightly better then it would be worth it to change your circle or reduce listening to their advice someone said close the window that hurt you no matter how beautiful the view is and I felt that don't take advice from everyone don't take advice on Matters from someone you dislike exchanging places With let's say you want advice on how to be happier the last person
you want to take this advice from is an unhappy person think about it if his advice has some value then why would he be unhappy nobody loves to remain unhappy who you take advice from will decide the life you're going to live take advice from unhappy people and you will become unhappy take advice from unhealthy people and you will become an unhealthy person take advice from angry people and You will become angry if they don't have what you want don't listen to what they say Alex rosi stop taking advice from people you don't want to
become stop listening to other people's opinions about how you should live your life and what you should do their advice is completely useless it's your life live the way you want to don't worry I am an old man and have known many troubles most of which never Happened Mark Twain worrying loves a lazy person because a lazy person has nothing else to do except worry since they aren't doing any work all they can do is worry about the future if you believe in yourself then there is no need to worry when you don't believe in
yourself the worry starts to appear all types of negative thoughts start to enter your mind you start worrying about things with a very low chance of happening Worrying can only be destroyed by one thing and that is through action that's the only way I know to make your worries go away I have no other knowledge let's say you're worried about your health and then the only thing you can do is to start taking care of your health there is nothing else you can do thinking about your health all day will not make you healthier it
might do the opposite worrying is natural we all worry about jobs Business Health money Family Etc You must classify your into two parts one the things that you can control and you can do something about it two the things you can't control and you can't do anything about them worrying about the first part is okay you have to worry about your health so that you can take some action and improve it this is what I call good worrying it helps you do things that can make your life better worrying about the second part is stupid
why worry about Something you can't control let's say tomorrow an asteroid is coming to Earth and going to kill all of us what's the worry you can't do anything worrying about things you can't control is going to rob your happiness make a new rule to never worry about anything that you can't control and if you can control it then act immediately and do something about it in both cases there should be no worry do the hard thing first the cold Water doesn't get warmer if you jump late unknown here's a simple tip to become more
productive and feel better the hardest work you have for the entire day should be done first no matter how hard it is it needs to be done first whenever you start working write all the things that need to be done pick the hardest and most complicated task and immediately start doing the task as humans we don't like to be uncomfortable we don't like to do hard things if Possible so we avoid it but you can't avoid doing a task if you can avoid doing a task it wasn't important in the first place but if a
task is important and needs to be done the best thing you can do is to start working on the task as soon as possible the hard task is also important and will help you achieve your goals but since it's hard you wouldn't like to do it first and then procrastination will take over you and you would delay it by saying I'm too Tired or I don't have time now these are just excuses to avoid doing the work that needs to be done hard choices equals Easy Life everyone wants to live an easy life with no
worries a life where you don't have to do anything that you don't want to do a life in which there is complete freedom to do anything you want to a life in which you don't have to worry about anything who doesn't want to live like this an easy life for most people can only be possible by Making hard choices there is no other way you have the option to choose one of the following easy choices equals hard life hard choices equals easy life this is the harsh truth of life you have to make hard choices
in the short term to live an easy life in the long term being lazy is easy in the short run but it will make your life harder in the long run doing is hard not doing is even harder going to the gym is hard but not being Healthy is even harder the choice is yours you can make hard choices to live an easy life or easy choices to live a hard life do what you need to there is a very fine line between doing what you love and doing what you find easy to do we
as humans love to do what is easy we run away from doing hard things but once you start doing hard things then it will get easier the start is always the hardest there is no reward in life for doing the easy thing in life you will be Rewarded for how hard things you can do everybody can do the easy thing it's the hard things that count to get better results start doing hard things stop living a balanced life I'm not telling you to become crazy but there is so much laziness in our life that as
soon as things get a little bit hard we stop doing them by saying we want to live a balanced life you can balance a lot more than you think balance is required in life you need to Sleep a good amount of time according to your body's needs you need to spend as much time as you like with your family and friends to live a balanced life we have to remove all the hard things from life we don't even like to do anything hard we don't want to make hard choices we don't want to try new
things we just want to let things happen as they're happening a little bit of unbalance is required to achieve great things I'm not in favor of sacrificing anything for Anything I don't suggest you sacrifice your health for money or anything else all I'm saying is that you try to push a little bit of those imaginary walls that you have created in your mind pushing them will not cost you anything if you don't feel good you can always move back but don't sit there and never even try to push the wall a little bit picture your
future self whenever you're feeling lazy and don't want to do the work start thinking about your future self How will you feel about not doing it in the future how will you handle the regret now imagine how your life will look in the future if you do the hard work instead of procrastinating there is no better way to motivate yourself than to think about your future self your future is always created by you in the present the actions you take will reflect how your future will look people do not decide their Futures they decide their
habits And their habits decide their Futures f m Alexander delegate if you want to do a few small things right do them yourself learn to delegate if you want to do great things and make a big impact John C Maxwell there is no way to do everything by yourself no matter what technique hack or tips you try there will never be enough time to do everything by yourself and that's a good thing because we don't need to do Everything by ourselves other people can help us do the things we don't have time to do if
you have any task that needs to be done and you have no time to do it it's a low value task which means that even if you don't do it by yourself and instead hire someone else it will not make a difference many things take a lot of your time that aren't that important but You can delegate right now so that you can use the time to do the things you want to do make a list of all the non-important tasks you need to do every day how much time it takes to do them and
how much money it will take for someone else to do them you will see that you're doing things that can be easily outsourced and very cheaply that take a lot of time daily try this for a few things and then see how it goes even if somebody else Does around 90% of a good job it's worth it also there is a high chance that somebody else will do a better job than us we think that we can do a better job but that's not true it may appear to our mind that we can do better

bring the most results and there are other things that are less important and will not help us achieve our goals even if you don't procrastinate you should still be very aware of what You're doing because if you're doing things that are not valuable and will not help you achieve your goals you're wasting your time think for a moment what is the most important thing you can do to help you achieve your goals It's probably hard to do but it would be worth doing the goal is not to be busy always but to do what needs

that diverts your brain's energy should be eliminated 10 having a sense of urgency you can't achieve anything in your life if you don't have a sense of urgency you need to be patient with results and impatient with action anything that you need to do should be done as fast as possible how Doro technique this technique is very simple what you need to do is work for 25 minutes uninterrupted then take a break For 5 minutes and you will repeat that I like to go for a long time before taking a break you must see this
for yourself when you're getting tired and you should adjust this technique accordingly rest is very important during your work you should take rest whenever you feel you're tired mentally due to working for a long period or working intensively if you're fully into any task then you may have noticed that you stop worrying about everything else you Stop noticing the passage of time this may not happen often but when it happens you feel happy This Joy can happen only if you're doing something that you like you can't feel this if you don't like your work loving
your work is the only way to feel this five minute rule you always have a lot of pending tasks because you tend to procrastinate even on small tasks that can be done instantly or in under 5 minutes and you say that you will do it later and you Never do it in the list of things to do keeps getting larger and larger and then you feel overwhelmed by the substantial number of pinning tasks that need to be done and then you get nothing done because doing one or two things will not do much a new
rule you should always follow is that whatever can be done under 5 minutes should be done now you cannot delay the task for tomorrow it must be done now as Benjamin Franklin said Beware of little expenses a small Leak will sink a great ship in the same way we should be very aware of little things to do because they will destroy our productivity do this one thing right now list all the small things you need to do close this book and do everything that can be done right now do it don't wait waiting means the
work can't be done automatically you must do the work whether you do it now or later two-day rule the two-day rule is simple you would not miss anything For two days straight you can miss it for one day if you must but never for two days let's say you started exercising every day then suddenly you have an emergency and can't train for a day that is completely okay but if you miss two days in a row then not exercising becomes your habit and there is a chance that you may not exercise for many days consistency
is very important without consistency you can't move toward your goals if you have a car It needs to be looked after otherwise issues will start Rising it may not start when you need it or may stop in the middle of your journey wake up when you arise in the morning think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive to breathe to think to enjoy to love Marcus Aurelius the time for you to do the things that you want to do is running out you must always live with a sense of urgency we have
a very short time left I don't want to make you feel sad or Anxious wake up you will get the same results if you keep doing your current work you must change what you do to change the results you want the life you want to live is on the other side of laziness living each day with complete awareness enjoying each moment and not living in the future or past but in the present your future can only be changed by the things you do in the present each day is important each hour is important each moment
is important Don't live your life by the expectations of other people you will always regret that in the future why did you listen to other people and not listen to your inner voice who was trying to guide you to the right path if you're a 30-year-old and you're going to live up to the age of 90 you have already spent onethird of your life if you're happy by the way you spent your previous day then great but if you don't like your past then you must do the things that need to Be done so when
you're 70 you don't say that I have wasted my entire life drop everything holding you back from living your life the way you want don't worry about other people's opinions they didn't live happily and want you to do the same they're filled with regrets and want you to have the same kind of regrets once a father and his son were coming back from a village far away where they had purchased a donkey they overheard a man saying see the fools They have a donkey but still walking on feet both thought it was a good idea
and they sat on the donkey on their way another villager saw and spoke look look at the poor donkey he can hardly walk the man felt sorry for the donkey and got off while crossing the fields a woman remarked the son is Young and healthy he should walk and let his father sit on the donkey son told his father I am sorry Dad please come sit on the donkey so they change places As they were about to reach their Village a passer by said hey see the selfish man the poor son is walking and enjoying
the ride without giving another thought both tied the donkey upside down to a long bamboo and carried him through the village by the time they reached home all were laughing at them a villager Elder asked why are you carrying this donkey like this can't walk father explained what happened on the way the old man said everyone was Laughing at you because instead of using your senses you kept on doing what others said one day just like this book your life will end do the things you want to do travel the places you want to read
the books you want to surround yourself with the people you want to time is running out start living
