  • Hey, guys, welcome to my channel.

  • Under one of my last photos on Instagram,

  • you asked me about how I manage to work

  • for three consecutive hours, how I motivate myself.

  • So this video is about the simplest rule

  • out there that has been working for me for all my life.

  • If you're interested, continue watching this video.

  • How do you like-- ah!

  • Good sign, right.

  • [MUSIC PLAYING]

  • As I said, the rule is super easy.

  • You need to start acting within five seconds

  • after you have a thought of starting doing something.

  • And that is, for example, you have a dream

  • of starting your own company.

  • Yes, I need a start a bakery.

  • The next thing you're going to do

  • is you're going to go Google within five seconds

  • and Google the bakeries that around your place

  • and explore your competition, or you

  • want to get education in the States.

  • The next thing - you're going to sit down and research

  • your universities.

  • Why within five seconds?

  • The problem is is that our body does everything

  • to prevent our brain from working,

  • because when our brain works, it consumes

  • 25% of our energy.

  • So the task of our body is create conditions

  • where a brain does not work, because otherwise it

  • will consume all of the energy.

  • Have you noticed that before you start your exam preparation,

  • before you study, you think like,

  • oh my god, my room is so dirty.

  • I need to clean up, or like, oh my god, before I start,

  • I need to order all of those books

  • and then wait till they arrive so I

  • can use them in my preparation.

  • This is something that your brain does.

  • It creates activities that do not involve it's work.

  • But you can change that, right.

  • And you can change it by starting

  • acting within five seconds.

  • Another thing, how you notice that all of the professors,

  • like the majority of professors of universities,

  • they're really thin.

  • And it's because they work with their brain all the time.

  • And brain activity can seems a lot more energy than sport.

  • So how do you start acting within five seconds

  • after you have a thought?

  • For me, what I do, I split one big goal

  • into really easy tasks.

  • As I said, you want to start your company,

  • research your competition first.

  • You want to get admitted to a foreign university,

  • start researching big universities.

  • Like split those into small goals and create a Trello desk.

  • Trello is a free service that you can use.

  • It can go online and create your own desk-- maybe like five

  • that I use.

  • And I use them to split my goals into small steps

  • that I can do every day.

  • Another thing connected to this rule and that

  • does not work-- well, at least, for me,

  • I know some people say if you share your goal with everybody,

  • then you have more motivation to work on it.

  • They start completing their goals

  • by posting on Instagram like, hey,

  • I just decided to start my company.

  • just decided to start my channel.

  • Watch me, I'm going to rock it, blah, blah, blah.

  • I think this is a wrong approach.

  • With this action, you're sending your brain a signal

  • like I've made my first step and your brain is like, oh,

  • congrats, well done.

  • Let's go watch Netflix.

  • There is new TV series.

  • That doesn't work.

  • That doesn't get you to your goal.

  • The second reason why I don't like this

  • is that because if you do not accomplish what you promised,

  • then people would think you're a liar or you're a lazy person.

  • So I just do it.

  • Another practice that I implemented my life.

  • If you need to do something that you really hate,

  • like preparing a report, tell your brain

  • we're going to work for 25 minutes only,

  • and then we're going to take a five minute break.

  • And then we're going to work for 25 minutes again,

  • and then we're going to take a five minute break.

  • Because when you anticipate an hour of working,

  • you're going to look for reasons to not do this job.

  • But if you really need to do it, telling your brain that it's

  • only 25 minutes and then you go we're going to grab coffee,

  • we're going to grab tea, we're going

  • to listen to music, that makes it more relaxing.

  • So try splitting your workday into 25 minute slots.

  • I bet you're going to see the progress.

  • Like, I saw the progress immediately

  • when I started doing this, when I

  • started doing this and applying this rule to tasks

  • that I hate, hate, hate.

  • The last two things that I wanted

  • to add in this video, guys, sleep well.

  • This is super important.

  • This is so important, you can't really imagine.

  • When you wake up and when you have

  • like healthy eight hours of sleep,

  • you can work on a completely different level.

  • There is an area in a brain that is called cortex.

  • And it is responsible for producing

  • high level results that are created with your brain.

  • When you're deprived of sleep, this part doesn't actually

  • receive a lot of blood.

  • And we go down with our needs.

  • We don't think of creating a new company.

  • We just think of sleeping, getting more sugar, relaxation,

  • blah, blah, blah.

  • So sleep well.

  • This is super important.

  • And healthy sleep is much more important

  • than solving a problem or watching Netflix.

  • Sorry, Netflix, I don't me to--

  • getting a good sleep is so much better and so

  • much more important than finishing your tasks today,

  • tonight, or watching another video, or just relaxing.

  • Just go to bed and sleep.

  • And the last thing, try to be within a community of people

  • who have the same goals, because together, you just motivate

  • each other to work harder.

  • For example, if you want to learn a language,

  • you're going to study language, go to language school.

  • I hope you guys will get through a language [INAUDIBLE]

  • if you do.

  • And you will be surrounded by students who

  • are learning the same language.

  • And many of them want to stay in the country

  • and apply for a university degree,

  • I want to move to this country and get a job,

  • or if you want to do the split, go to the gym,

  • take a class where everybody tries to do a split.

  • And you will be surrounded by other people

  • with the same goals.

  • Guys, if you still watching this video,

  • please take part in my research.

  • Write down in comments below how long do

  • do you sleep each night.

  • I actually track my sleep with a bracelet.

  • And I would say I sleep on average five to six hours,

  • but this means that I spend, at least, eight hours in bed

  • just resting, but the deep sleep is like five to six hours.

  • Let me know how long do you sleep each night,

  • and let's compare our answers.

  • This was it for today guys.

  • Thank you so much for your questions.

  • If you have more questions for me,

  • please feel free to ask them in the comments
