Have a great week guys! Cheers.
If you're looking a for a great read, Chris' book can be found here - amzn.to/35Wj7SB
What if I told you there's a short chapter at the beginning on how to focus while reading this book?
Can reading be considered to be focusing?
Actually, his book *can't* be found there. That's a place to go buy it.
We're into the post-truth world at every little level.
@goal guys keep it going love the videos don’t stop!
No translation?!😭
within one second into the video i already scrolled down to read the comments...
Same. There's also a video of theirs about not procrastinating that's been in my "watch later" list for over a week. 😂
Fuck didn’t even realize I did to until I read this comment
I'm obviously far more attentive than you I lasted 3 lol 😂
I made it to 5 minutes 😂
@@kaitlyne1870 lol same
I realized how many times I got distracted during this video. I was either scrolling through comments or daydreaming about every... idk 40 seconds lol. Good luck to everyone who needs to work on their focus!
How many more books do people need to read to understand that 1. Meditate 2. Focus on one thing at a time and 3. Remove distractions.
This is just a section of Chris' book. There is lot of great information in there we just didn't have time to cover in the interview.
@@GoalGuys I know his books, the essence stays the same. I don't want to be rude, you do a great job with your channel, but the self help industry over the last year's has been making tons of money just recycling the same message over and over again. If you stick to the basic principles I mentioned in my first comment, results will follow. That's all there is to it.
@@raisingbarssince1978 You didn't talk about rewarding yourself after good behaviors and making bad behaviors difficult
@@Amanda-qe5lj I dont need to, as this in entirely up to you. The steps I listed however are mandatory. If you want to reward yourself after you achieve something go ahead, I do not believe that it makes your "bad" behaviours more difficult. Achieving your goal will be rewarding enough.
Think of it like eating a meal, that is mandatory, but if you also want the dessert, well go ahead!
upvoted on the way out...
1. Write down your distractions
2. Meditate, focus on your breath
3. Be aware of when your mind is wondering and refocus
Refocus on what?
@@thetechnoking I assume it's refocus on whatever you should have been working on or doing before your mind started to wander.
Scroll back up man, it's not even a minute gone..
Actually I made It to 1:06.
So true.. Doing the same..
I made It to 6:43
😂😂
You are reading a meaningless reply lol
Sorry to heard you guys had been struggling. I don't want to imagine a UA-cam without goal guys!
Yea me too!
6:30 is where he starts talking about what you can do about it lol
Nam thanks!
Thanks, random hero!
thank you Nam
thanks
Thanks man
summary:
40 seconds focus in office jobs
50% your mind is daydreaming even if you work
get a distraction list
- right down all the things you get distracted by
meditation
- focus on your breath
- because it's boring
- if you can focus on your breath you can focus on anything
- if you can get interested by your breath you can get interested by anything
The things that help you accomplish most or make you the proudest aren't the things that are the most interesting to do right now
- the things that make you the proudest are the things you resist the most to do
Make a list of your most important tasks
- know what to focus on
- and do the 10min Tasksk
Thank you!
Thanks, hard to sit through this 😂
Appreciate this👌🤘🖒
Thank you. Your summary helps 👍
No translation ?!
The things that we're proud of doing are the things that we resist doing in the moment
DUDE, THAT CHRIS GUY IS A GENIUS. He said everything I've been thinking about for years in regards to meditation. Particularly, the part about:
"If you can get interested in your breath, you can get fascinated by anything." Boredom, dissatisfaction, grief are not things that should be a default in our brain. You SHOULD be able to watch paint dry for hours and be completely content and happy. A rock doesn't get bored. Bugs dont get bored. This is not something we have to just suffer through. We should be able to have perfect peace in this moment without any stimuli, person, place, or thing.
Getting comfortable with boredom is an important step for having creative breakthroughs.
@@GoalGuys EXACTLY, I agree! But if you're "comfortable", I dont think you are bored any longer. Maybe its semantic pickyness, but I think it's the transition 'out' of boredom by sitting through it 'in the present moment' that causes creativity.
Focus on one thing at a time people, key to success.
glad to hear that things have started to turn around, for the better.
Before this video finished, I had a snack, responded to two texts, checked what's new on Netflix and tweeted this link before I completed it.
Thank you 🙏🏻 for all you do. Don’t 🛑 goal guys. You and your brother are awesome. Appreciate the gratitude for your viewers. Merry Christmas!
Amazing work guys, don't let a hump deter you from your GOAL! I'm a college student who's hard headed, but you guys are one of the few people I put up resistance to, I'll be devastated if you guys stop what you're doing, you gentlemen have a gift! Keep up the outstanding work!
I have never heard of meditation described like the author did and I loved it. I think I will approach meditation differently now and without the resistance. This video has given me food for thought.
¨It's the things that we are proud that we have done, that are the things we resist doing in the moment¨
you are hugely motivating to reach my personal goals. thank you for being here with us.
Thanks for this! It was really useful, especially the bit about the novelty bias. I didn't know this and it makes so much sense and means I can now mediate for it when I get distracted because I know it is not just me being lazy, unfocused or uncommitted to what I am doing and I can then disregard it and get on. Good luck with your channel! xx
Thanks for letting me focus on The Bible and God again.. 😊
Keep going guys. I love your content and the positivity you bring. Thanks for all you do!
Keep it up guys - and all the very best for 2020.
This video added to my knowledge: - we tend to do things that we will not be proud of later in the life, so every activity should begin with this question in mind which might naturally gravitate people towards doing more meaningful things in life. Also we need to change the dopamine secretion mechanism by learning to pay attention without judging if it is interesting or boring and therefore making it an inconsequential part of our physical brain... Good video 😊
I love all your videos! Both you (goal) guys are so down to earth. It feels genuine! I feel like that part of entertainment on the internet is gone, everyone is showing of their best side without showing how they ended up there. You guys give all of us watching inspiration to do more. To try new things and learn from it. I want to thank you both. I really enjoy every video.
Have an amazing holiday!
Thanks so so much. That's awesome to hear. Have a great holidays as well!
Randomly clicked on this vid.... like learning different perspectives n' techniques. Really glad to hear things r turning around for ur channel bro! 😁😊
Sorry to hear it was a hard year. Wondered why there was a time at which you guys hadn’t released something in a while since you’re vids were always interesting and focused so well on self-improvement. I hope your successes in 2020 show you that all the struggles of the past were just momentary and that you will always have quality fans to support you 👍❤️
Thank you. I needed to hear the content in this video. The explanation on how meditation helps you focus, sold meditation to me. I am the kind of person that needs to know the inner working of something before trying it out. Thank you very much.
I’m so happy your channel popped up in my recommended! Your videos are produced really well and so far I love all the content! Well done dude!
I've found that visualization of performing a task before actually diving into it helps with focus. It feels kind of silly but give it a shot!
This is the first time I ever ran into your channel. I’m glad you decided to keep going, because of your new & future subscribers like me. Great vid too.
jshflrz thank you so much!
Great video! Thanks for taking the time to post this amazing content.
Don't give up, I love this channel!
Another Amazing video, Goal Guys. I love the incorporation of another professional and the interview which provides more perspective and insight
Good job and keep being you and doing what you're doing because it has changed my life showing what is possible and is changing many other's too
This was incredibly helpful. Thank you!
This is one of my fav channels this year. I watch and rewatch your stuff over and over and thanks to you guys I've been organizing myself in order to be more focused on work or my health by the day. You do amazing work here. Thanks! ಠ◡ಠ
Thanks so much, Gabriel. That's awesome to hear!
Your videos are very inspiring. I especially like your 30 day challenges videos.
Thank you for the content you guys create, but please don't be too hard on yourself. Take breaks when you need to and stay true to yourself.
Looking forward to the 2020 videos!
Merry Christmas!
Thanks so much. Merry Christmas to you too!
when he talked about daydreaming about something else while watching the video, I DID EXACTLY THAT!!!
Glad you kept the focus on Goal Guys ;)
Can't believe I've just found this video, one of the best on the channel!
The first video I watch and I loved it!! Thank you for your hard work making this videos.
What are you proud of doing? Focus on that. Loved that idea. Great video guys. :)
I very much enjoy seeing the goal guys videos and hope you guys are able to continue. I'm sure I'm not alone! You've inspired me to try many different challenges/goals. Thanks guys keep it up!
Thanks Corey, that's really cool to hear. We are continuing, and hoping for a really good 2020.
I made some bullet point for myself as student it think it will help.
Reasons to why increasing your focus on task is must:
1. our body custom too high level of stimulation
2. we are natural distracted
3. you need 25 min too get in the zone too focus
4. the work you want too do is boring you must improve focus to accomplish something
Tools that may help you increase focus:
1. everything that distract you from the task must be avoided : phone, computer, mass and so own.
2. meditation. thinking on one thing in your mind
3. try too improve your interest on the subject by knowing your goals.
sorry for the languages, writing summaries help me improve :)

after 4 days of leaving this video in the tabs,watching other videos,and rewatching after reading comments instead of watching i have watched it.
You're making great content dude. Don't give up.
Genuinely helping. Thanks.
Thank you very much for this video. Really helpful to me right now, as I am facing distraction a lot during study.
No need to be highly focused if it’s on the wrong things. Make sure you focus on what matters.
Thanks for this video will use this and Merry Christmas
That 40 second thing made me realize that I am doing it while watching the video, even making this comment I am switching tasks
It happens so often when I have multiple tabs open, or my cell close by!
Thank you so much for the lovely content!😊
Probably the best video on focus.
Great video thanks Goal Guys

I dissociate watching this video a few times. Hoping that is normal. The struggle of the wandering mind is real.
You described my life in the first 30 seconds. Ultimate procrastinator
This was extremely useful thank you.
Glad to hear it!
Really needed this
I needed this video, Thanks!
For some reason I got distracted when he mentioned cantaloupes. Loved the video and keep up the good work!
Great video!! I casually came across it in youtube and I found it really helpful and interesting!!
Loved this video!

keep it up! love your videos
A comment for the algorithm, and to say that I really enjoyed this - useful content, thanks :)

Just found your channel and I am happy I did and happy you aren't giving up on the channel :D
Thanks. Glad you stumbled across us. Welcome!
So happy you didn't ditch the channel. Love your content.
Wes Baynham thank you so much!
Great video. thanks!
What if I exit the app then look around and instantly go back into the same app to look at the same stuff again
Good going guys!
It’s the things that are difficult to do that cause distractions, if it was easy we would all be doing it, so just focusing on completing your difficult goals is the reward.
Great talk
