Rían here. Tired of feeling like a zombie at your desk, struggling to stay focused? There's a simple, science-backed way to fix it.
With the techniques in this PDF, you can stay in flow state all day and exceed a month’s worth of work in 11 hours.
One of the most amazing things I learnt from this video was that your brain resets the effort counter once you change the place you are working in.
Excellent!
So I will be working on my bed desk and my table desk 2-2 hours for 4 hours. This way I could do 8 hours in 2 sittings
Nice plan...@@rationalmind3785
In 16 min no repeated logic only pure , professional advice and this 1 of the best hacks ever listen ❤️
Switch environments and move while working
2 steps
1 setup up your main working environment
Basic:
- sitting / max 2 hours
- standing / 5/10 min, per 30 min of sitting
- walking
Flow state improvements:
stand 50% of the time
walk 25% of the time
Sitting 25% of the time
2. setup three additional working environments
change environment will improve your productivity
Deep work block of multiple hours (2/3 hours)
A new event begun at every environment like a sprint
Main office
couch
Coffee shop
thanks
Great summary, thank you
Would add the last few sentences here to round the summary up: When you get a dip in energy/sense that work gets hard, change your position. When you feel fatigue is kicking in, change your places. Really great cues to go on day by day!
😊😊😊
From my own experience, I would advise to NOT use the couch for such purposes!
I tested this approach yesterday of standing 50%, walking 25%, and sitting 25% while switching environments when passing from one working block (~2hrs) to the other and it did wonders! I felt more productive and got things done faster.
I'll keep using it to see if it helps me on the long term
Excellent!
Did it work
@@gigachad5029 Amazingly! I'm able to get into a few deep work session while standing throughout the day. It helps me more after I wake up @5am so that I don't get sleepy, whenever I get distracted while on meeting I use my desktop treadmill, and when I feel tired I sit down.
This is the best tt channel ever. You have literraly changed my life in just 1 hour of watching ur stuff and got 2x more done in 2x less times and its just starting. Guys watch this guy.
I appreciate your support and viewership!
The amount of knowledge shared in this 15 minutes is tremendous. Your videos changed my life entirely. Tried the things you mentioned, and it DOES work. Although I don't have fancy equipment etc, even moving to the roof and doing some parts of the job on the roof while moving is a game changer. Thank you.
Some takeaways:
1. Optimize your environment to sharpen stamina and dopamine
2. Loosen your body (standing > sitting while working - also do some working every now and then)
3. Shifting environments can help regain focus (trick your brain to think you worked less time)
4. Standing means the work feels temporary, so you know you are focusing on something you want to finish
5. Stand 50% of the time Walk 25% of the time and Sit for 25% of the time
6. Motion boards help when you are stand-working
7. Four stages of flow: struggle, release, flow, recovery
8. Get past the struggle through environment shifts (aim for 3 places) and removing distrations
How can anyone stand and work that long is beyond me
Well, I do it, 12 to 13 hours a day. Sometimes more
I am doing this everyday in my work. I work with data entry and when I get tired I go and di some work in terrain. When I get tired on terrain I get back to computer. When I get complitely fatigue I have a 5 minute walk to the bathroom, which is far from my workplace😂 and I feel refreshed again. I completely agree with this guy. Keep up with this content man. You are rocking.💪.
It's amazing and satisfying to see a professional like you with a good edited video rather than a random guy who just read few books about productivity.
Thank you
Do you know what the name of the program he's using to make the videos
Wow, thank you!
I noticed this a few days ago. I was slogging away and felt so tired. I happened to change my environment and suddenly it was easier to focus again. Thanks for the vid!
Most welcome.
Oh wow, I’ve just only really realized why I get into the flow so easily sometimes and other times not at all. It’s just the difference between standing and sitting. I love you, man!
Thanks for watching!
Interesting thing about your videos that I've noticed. Almost every time, the first 5 minutes feel like a wasted 5 minutes, but just before I click next, you actually get into something good, and I end up hooked and end up liking and saving the video.
Hey Folks, Rian here. New videos upload every Thursday at 9am!
If you're interested in more ways for designing your days for flow state and productivity, check out my video about setting temporal landmarks:
ua-cam.com/video/hApnn1vnWi0/v-deo.html
This video is just amazing. It explains the entire concept of flow, and the process of getting into that state so well
Definitely gonna try this out
Thank you for watching!
this is my favorite yt rn
^_^
me2, this channel has been life changing for me, and I say these things lightly. (he confirms things I knew, but vaguely, and didn't act with intent on it, for example that walking is good for work/novel stimuli/improved thinking etc.)
Yeah that's my "favourite UA-cam" too
Y his nose so red
I appreciate your support and viewership!
Watching your videos on repeat like I'm attending lectures again. Learning so much and making these improvements as fast as I can. Thank you so much for sharing this.
Your channel has changed my life. You will go a long way by helping people achieve maximum productivity.
I started the video don't believing how good the advice would be. But in the middle I needed to restart and pay full attention.
What a spectacular video. It was what I need to watch and execute.
Thank you for watching!
Your videos are helping me and many, many people in the world, and one day, it'll happen that humans' productivity has reached at it's peak via FLOW.
Thank you for watching!
Change place and change position, and you cheat fatigue!! This is a new one for me. So true. I’m IN LOVE with your videos. Thank you so much for putting out these incredible INSIGHTS ♥️♥️
As someone who did this cuz it felt good and got alot of weird looks from coworkers, it works. Also increases your indifferent to opinions, not to mention you just feel overall better.
Thanks for watching!
I had watched so many of rian's videos without subscribing. Now I corrected it.
Interesting. Sixty years ago while attending grade school, the Nuns had rotating classes. For each subject hour , we would move to a different classroom. They knew boredom made it harder to concentrate and a new environment would eliminate some of the boredom.
60 year ago ....wow
I’ve created 2 work spaces in my new room. One is a floor desk for writing fantasy - sitting cross-legged on the floor to write suits me well. My other space is for music/video production. It’s decorated very wonderfully with LED lights, etc. Spicing it up really inspires and re-invigorates me and activates the flow state.
That's a great idea!
I intuitively do this lol. Thought I was just different. Can't work in one environment for too long. I'm able to maintain flow when I move. I have three offices: home, cafes and company location. It's awesome. I'm glad my boss let me wander bc this is how I get things done. 😊
Thanks for sharing!
@@riandoris can you please make a video how to wake up early with ease?
@@aarav34590 I think the most easy way for it it's to create a good environment for sleeping well, and sleeping in the right hour
@@aarav34590why do you want it to be easy?
"Environnement affects perceived effort." This is actually so true. After a while I got burnt out from going to my local gym, so i went to another location in a city nearby and the workout was so much easier there! 😮
Novelty stimulates engagement
Thanks for sharing!!
I just want to thank you from bottom of my heart your videos helped me sooo much in my studies and other things that i found difficult its unreal how big changes small things can make
I'm so glad!
This channel changed my life more than anything Ive seen after a year of mindlesslely watching UA-cam videos
Thank you for watching!
1. Stand while working- 50% of the time, walk- 25% of the time, 25% of sitting
2. perceived effort decreases with changing places, perceived exertion decreases with changing positions
3. 3 different working environments
Just meditate the mind will be relaxed and the mental effort will be easier.
And flow will come by itself by concentrating on the process not on the result.
My favorite channel, keep up the good work
Glad you enjoy it!
I'm procrastinating by rewatching rian doris after taking notes coz blud's content is so engaging
I am studying for like more than 8 hours and my productivity is decreasing day by day which is making me tense. Thank god that I found this video! Will definitely try this from this moment itself! Thankyou! ✨❤️
All the best.
@tanvisawant567 how did it go? Did it work?
Yes it works!@@nikparv7
By far the best productivity video I’ve ever seen
I appreciate your support and viewership!
@riandoris Thanks I love your content. You're channels gong to explode soon
Proud to be the first commenter. I love your content Rian
Thank you.
So glad you’re here on UA-cam
Appreciate it.
I been waiting for a channel like this, I have no doubt you will be successful...thank you for the effort and detail that you put into the videos
Thank you so much 🙂
Look up Andrew Huberman. Great podcast for stuff like this
Small notes for myself so I don’t forget. Do the normal stuff you do to get in a super focused state. Stand. Walk. Sit. Stand. Sit. Change environment.
the value in this video is crazy, looking forward to seeing more
Thank you for watching!
Doing yoga 30 minutes in the morning ( easy stuff) gives me energy and the sense of accomplishment
Please release a video on getting out of flow state and properly recovering to reduce or completely evade future burnout.
This is the best video to actually slowly gain the flow states
Thank you for watching!
I loved the down to earth perspective of your topic. This is the first video of your channel that I have come across. It was so enlightening and thought provoking .looking forward to learning more.Thank you
Most welcome
Interesting. I do a lot of this already and people often don’t understand how powerful the switch in environment and body can be. Awesome video! Extremely validating. Thank you!! 👏🏼💯
Most welcome.
rian i follow a lot of youtube channels and i can confidently say no one explains it better than you do kee shining💗
Thanks for watching.
It has been a long time since I was that impressed by UA-cam productivity Tipps and their novelty ❤
Awesome stuff!
Thank you for watching!
Damn that's true man , your video is something else, watching this makes me realize that when I Seat can't work at all .
1. Set up your main WORKING ENVIRONMENT (morning my home: sitting+standing+walking)
2. Set up THREE ADDITIONAL working environments (Home-Library-Classroom)
Mindset: Sitting is not synonymous with working - Your environment shapes your stamina.
Me after my parents tell me to stop shaking my legs
I feel like I've been in flow watching this... great editing!
Thank you for watching!
Detailed Summary:
[00:00](ua-cam.com/video/1ilWAMCNBW8/v-deo.html) Access Flow State to increase productivity
- Flow State is an ancient adaptation to reboot energy and productivity
- By intentionally accessing Flow State, you can get three days of work done in one
- Research Collective has taught thousands of professionals and organizations how to access Flow State
[02:03](ua-cam.com/video/1ilWAMCNBW8/v-deo.html) Body position affects work productivity
- Stiff body makes work hard, loose body makes work easy
- Body position affects brain's energy conservation mode and dopamine release
[04:26](ua-cam.com/video/1ilWAMCNBW8/v-deo.html) Changing your environment boosts productivity
- Changing positions and places tricks the brain into feeling less exertion
- Perceived exertion and effort are subjective and can be reset by changing surroundings
[06:49](ua-cam.com/video/1ilWAMCNBW8/v-deo.html) Standing while working improves productivity and health
- Setting up a standing desk improves posture, reduces fatigue and stress, and increases alertness and cognitive function
- Standing for 50% of work time and walking for 25% is recommended for optimal flow and health
[08:54](ua-cam.com/video/1ilWAMCNBW8/v-deo.html) Standing desks and motion boards improve posture and reduce exertion.
- Motion boards provide subtle rocking to offset pressure on each leg and activate the vestibular system.
- Standing desks can be created with a stack of books or boxes and walking meetings can increase access to Flow State.
[10:43](ua-cam.com/video/1ilWAMCNBW8/v-deo.html) Unlock flow state with exercise and multiple work environments
- Exercise-induced transient hypo frontality (EIT) diverts brain resources from complex cognitive tasks to physical movements, leading to flow state
- Setting up three work environments with fixed variables and introducing novelty gives a sense of autonomy and control, shortcuts the struggle phase of flow state
[12:42](ua-cam.com/video/1ilWAMCNBW8/v-deo.html) Varying work environments can increase productivity
- Set up three consistent workspaces to reduce distractions and increase flow
- Varying environments according to the type of work can combat fatigue and reset perceived effort
[14:31](ua-cam.com/video/1ilWAMCNBW8/v-deo.html) Work in an event-based fashion with uninterrupted blocks of focus and flow.
- Set up your workspace to accommodate sitting, standing, and walking.
- Identify and rotate between three places to work every day to leverage dopamine and reduce perceived effort.
truly valuable & it explains a lot about my focus & interest levels throughout the day. Thanks!
Great to hear!
bro this guy is so underrated
30MIN SIT 30 MIN STAND ITS SOOO GOOD I CANT EVEN TELL I'M WORKING
If I ever became a millionaire, remember you are one of the cause!!!!💪💪🔥🙏🏻
This is the best wake up
Really good video mate one suggestion I have is if you can do a video on discipline cause what I have learned through my countless failures is that when ever I fail to do something over a long period of time it’s not motivation, flow state, or rlly anything else but a lack of discipline is the root cause
True, I want that video too.
At the moment (I'm still trying different approaches) I don't see any problem with discipline at all. Just think about what you really like: TV shows, video games, hiking, etc. (what are you up to). I'm sure there are some things that you can do many hours in a row. You have to trick your brain into doing the hard things as if you were playing. If you are really interested in getting results in your work, you will be able to figure out how to do that. Imagine the person in your field (better if you are know them personally). What would they do? My acquaintance works on papers on the train, talking about work tasks during his lunch break (don't think it's boring, he speaks interesting and inspiring). So, I ask myself: what would he do? Of course, when you are tired, you take a break, like in this video.
There is no force, only allow. Rest is part of the allowing. Other videos will talk about stretching your attention. All of the above.
Very valuable pointers. Thanks
I love this presentation on flow ❤
Thank you for watching!
My favorite YT channel
Can you upload a vid on best ways to recover (4 stage in Flow cycle) ?
Thank you for watching!
Ive been doing this unconciously, so true
A UA-cam legend is born.
Fantastic thank you for your concise and thought out advice back by our evolution as humans
My pleasure!
Your environment shapes your stamina
Productivity thrives on novelty and wealths on monotony
I literally get dopamine hit when I hear rian. P.S. I'm not gay, his voice is commanding.
I love this, great Share
Thank you for watching!
I am pretty sick of productivity tricks and hacks but this dude's ideas are on another level. Trying to see if effective though
man, this is gold
Thank you.
Keep it up Rian. Your channel is a great help to me
Glad to hear it!
One if the best videos I've ever seen
Thanks for watching!
This is a different style of video, the delivery is excellent
Thank you very much!
Great video but re: 6:20, clearing the cache on a computer doesn't usually speed things up, since then it has to load things from slower memory!
Thanks.
One thing I've learned from consuming all these video: this man loves foam rollers. 😁
Great fucking video mate I’ve been in the sec improvement side on UA-cam for a while and can always sense when I creator is going to struck it big this channel is going to reach 100k subs in not time!
Thank you for watching!
Thank you so much Rian!!!
Most welcome.
Check the time on your thumbnail, the third image it says 17:00 PM.😊

I appreciate your support and viewership!
this guy is genius
That's exactly what i needed to hear, thank you very much
You are so welcome
Novelty is great for the mind. It keeps us curious
I dig the thumbnail
Thanks for such an insightful video, Rian! Btw, I am standing while listening to you :D
My pleasure!
Starting my journey with flow
Thank you.
Makes me think working with Apple Vision Pro would be ideal for changing environment and position variables. Great video ❤
"Thank you for watching!"
man you are amazing, thank you so much for all the wisdom shares!
Yo, what's the correlation between flow state and ADHD hyperfocus? I have ADHD symptoms but I haven't been diagnosed for it, but I just spent 6 straight hours studying without a break, because I enjoy the subject of course, but I noticed that it felt like I was absent somehow. Like I wasn't here. Like, I just stood up right now because of the need to go pee, and because I feel hungry, but It just felt like I went somewhere I just came back to reality right now. Now is that flow state, or ADHD hyperfocus?
hyperocus. it would be flow if it was just a task you didnt like
@@urbandoorstepadvertisingma1508it's not like that.flow occurs when ur skills are equal to or slightly less than your work. Also it only happens if u enjoy ur work
Best noticed thing my life
Thanks for watching!
Why does everyone forget about this crucial "hack"? Get enough sunlight every day. Your mood improve, you feel happier and you feel more awake.
Hey Rian, it's really cool what you guys are doing at FRC. Would you consider changing the title from "a small trick" to "the trick?" I believe it would add more authority to the topic and intrigue in it thus leading to a higher CTR. Regardless, great video!
I appreciate your support and viewership!

your "outline" is from the wrong video. this is why I don't trust AI and people who didn't actually watch the video and put in the effort
Absolutely excellent video. You have another subscriber.
Quality content and such an exciting topic to research! Thank you.
Phenomenal!
Thanks for watching.
Interesting, but that would be good to have the links of the studies that prove what you are saying
You're amazing!
Thank you.
Treadmill desk suggestions? I believe this would be extremely beneficial to my work but I want to find the perfect one!
Your videos are really appreciable but i have 1 question for you, how can students minimize their studying hours in order to stay productive ??
@@aayushstuff7062 study also requires productiveness for better results.
same question :( it takes me around 3-7 hours to finish one chapter in physics. it’s so hard i feel so burnt out that i don’t study anything else. and i don’t end up getting full marks in physics as well. this video is much needed.
