If you have clicked on this video, you are probably looking back at the last few months

Past simple

and asking yourself, what went wrong?  At the beginning of the year, you have set

Future simple

many new year resolutions. You promised yourself that this year is going to be different, and

by the end of the year, you are going to be a completely different person.

But that doesn't seem to happen anytime soon. I don't really like setting up goals because

the problem with setting up goals, especially huge goals is that, it really depends on how

you feel at that particular time if you can achieve it or not.

It's the beginning of the year, you feel like you have plenty of time, and pretty much every

goal seems achievable, but a few months down the road, you realize that you actually don't

have that much time in the first place. So what I like to do is focus on the right habits.

Instead of setting up a goal of achieving 100K subscribers by the end of the year, I

would rather set a goal of uploading videos twice a week, and it doesn't really matter

how many subscribers I will get by the end of the year. I might get more, or I might

get less but uploading twice a week seems like a more achievable and practical goal

than getting 100K subs. That's why I build tiny little habits that

I practice every day. Setting up a goal to read 50 books a year sounds way more exciting

than reading a book for 15 minutes every day, but the second goal is way easier and practical

to achieve compared to the first one. So here in this video, I will share with you

12 tiny, little habits that you can implement right now. You can easily incorporate them

into your life, and I guarantee you that they will have a far bigger impact on your life

than your new year resolutions. So give this video a thumbs up and let's start

Stretch for 10 to 15 minutes every day   

Believe it or not, but the speed of your blood circulation is one of the decisive factors

whether you will achieve your goals or not. Your blood flow is what makes your body function,

even your brain. It delivers oxygen and nutrition to your brain and removes waste. In fact your

brain consumes 1/4 of your blood, and if that blood flow slows down, you start feeling lazy,

your energy level drops, your willpower depletes, you might even have difficulty falling asleep

at night or stay focused. What people don't understand today is that

our bodies were not meant to sit all the time. We are like animals who suppose to run, jump,

hunt, and constantly move but what we do instead is sit all the time—eight hours at work

and then a few hours in the car and so on. What happens over time is that your muscles

could move especially around your neck and slow down blood flow to your brain and make

you less productive, but by being more active or stretching at least 15 minutes a day, you

2. Focusing on finish the task and not working long hours.

  So here is how people work. You sit in front

of a computer, but before you start working, you have to check your phone, see what's happening

in your insta feed. Once you work for a few minutes, you checkout YouTube. Maybe right

now, you should be working, but you are watching this video.

I am not really sure at this point. Should I tell you to get back to work or watch this

video till the end but what I can certainly tell you is that you can boost your productivity

by giving this video a thumbs up. Wasn't that smooth?

Anyways, working for long hours is a waste of time. What matters at the end of the day

is the results. So try to work less but more productive.

  There is a long list of benefits when it comes

to jogging. It strengthens your immune system or helps you live longer, but that's not why

you should turn it into a daily habit.   How you start your morning sets the tone

for the rest of the day. If you start it with something productive like 15 minutes of jogging,

it will be much easier to move to another productive task while when you lie for an

hour before you get up, chances you will be lazy to do something productive are very high.

Before I start working, I make a short to-do list where I write 3 to 6 things I have to

do for the day and always keep the list in front of me. If I accomplished them, I would

consider the day successful. It could be analyzing a company, conducting an important meeting,

or writing a script for a video. First of all, I have a clear plan to follow

for the day, secondly, after finishing each task, I feel motivated to finish another one,

and at the end of the day, if I accomplished most of the listed tasks, I feel a sense of

accomplishment, that I haven't wasted my day and did something productive and that pushes

5. Don't do or say anything when you're angry. When you get angry, you stop thinking rationally.

Your emotional response would most likely turn things worse. 

Try to remember at least one incident where you reacted emotionally to something, and

it ended well. You can't because there isn't. Whether you are in an argument with your partner,

parents, or some stranger in the street, always wait until you calm down before taking any

6. Spend your most precious time wisely  

When you wake up and had enough sleep, your productivity is at your highest level. Don't

waste that precious time on the least important things. Playing video games, talking to your

friends, or cleaning your house is something you can do during any time of the day, but

without enough willpower, you can't do creative work.

So start your day by working on the most important thing, and as your willpower starts depleting,

you can move to other things that require less willpower.

  It's important to have your opinion but spending

your time to convince people that you are right is a waste of time unless you are running

for office. It's absolutely normal to have two opposite opinions on the exact same matter

because our opinions are not always defined by the facts or the reality on the ground,

but how we view the facts does also influences our opinions. And since each of us grew in

a different family, with different friends, and different experiences, we perceive everything

the way we feel is right, so don't waste your time arguing why people.

  8. Break down every task into small steps

  When I started going to the gym, I use to

procrastinate. Going to the gym means I have to get my stuff ready, drive to the gym, change

my clothes, work out for over an hour, take a shower so on. The task seems so big that

my brain would push me to procrastinate, but if it's something small and quick, it's way

easier to deafest procrastination. That's why always break the task in front of you

into many tiny tasks. It will be much easier to accomplish it. 

If you have to study, don't think about reading the entire book or studying for the next 2

hours. Promise yourself to study for 15 minutes or finish just one chapter. The moment you

start studying, it gets easier to keep it up.

"In a forest of a hundred thousand trees, no two leaves are alike. And no two journeys along the same path

are alike." ~ Paulo Coelho People always compare themselves to others.

If he has achieved something by a certain age, then you should too, but the truth is,

you are a different person, and your circumstances are different. Your journey is going to be

different. So stop looking at others and focus on how you improve your life based on your
