You’re the reason I ditched VSCode and switched to Neovim 2.5 years ago-and I’ve loved every moment of it. You’re the reason I pushed myself to become twice the developer I once was. You’re inspiring millions to stay disciplined this year. Wishing you all the success and fulfillment you’re aiming for in 2025. Thanks for everything!
Prime I can’t really articulate how you’ve helped me see things differently. I’ve always been fascinated by programming but I never thought I was smart enough to do it. Now I know I can if I put in the hard work AND just because the work is hard that doesn’t mean it’s not fun. Thanks man. Here’s to 2025.
Have you ever had a dream that you, um, you had, your, you- you could, you’ll do, you- you wants, you, you could do so, you- you’ll do, you could- you, you want, you want them to do you so much you could do anything?
Atomic Habits, great book that taught me to look at goals not as tasks but as habits. Kind of like having discipline, one needs to establish habits, not accomplish goals.
Huge +1, the best book I've read on this topic, as it addresses not only how to pickup habits, but also what derails one from adopting habits. And reasonning about this helped me to remove a lot of reasons why I would fail (eg: too high friction)
Habits are the "how", goals are the "what". Goals are supposed to be a starting point, but then one must ask the fundamental question, "Now that I have this goal, HOW do I break this down into things that will achieve that goal". Those habits are the things that will actually result in the goal being achieved.
I think 2025 will see a lot fewer improvements in AI than we've seen in the last year. The bubble probably won't burst, but it will probably flatten and maybe decline a bit.
The trick to being faster with AI is that you get AI to write slop for you, and then you get other people to review it, and that slows them down so much that it makes you faster by comparison.
I hope you understand what you're asking for here. AI is propping up the tech sector and the stock market as a whole. If the bubble bursts, the market will see a massive correction, leading us into a recession and far more people out of jobs than what we have now. Sorry, but the world without AI is not happening anymore, AI is here to stay.
I work as a data scientist and my team just got offered a single copilot license, i passed it off because I am happy just using my personal claude license from time to time but dont want any autocomplete. My coworker is using it now and he was reporting it is really great and makes him more efficient. Then recently he needed me to find some bug in his code and he ended up screen sharing and coding for like 60 minutes. His whole coding workflow was only prompting in his jupyter notebook. almost no real coding anymore. even doing one liner list comprehensions or writing to a file he prompted the copilot. i was so shocked. He just finished his masters this year and i feel this is just gonna make him decline super hard. Using AI to understand some concepts or let ai write you some simple examples that you can then understand and adapt to your workflow and you really learn way faster and the stuff actually sticks. But Copilot or copy pasta the code directly and you'll just get fked
Why would using autocomplete when writing code to write to a file have an impact on your capacities as a developer? At the end of the day, if you ship efficient readable, bug free code at a reasonable time, who cares how the process of writing it looked like. I use AI a lot when coding too. Currently making a Django application for work. I am very strict on making beautiful code (try my best) cover all edge cases and obviously prevent bugs. I will admit, I some of the syntax for eg opening a json file I still don't know perfectly because I just never need to type it out completely.
experience doesn't come from not using copilot. experience comes from when you serialize 1 million objects in the same process and you find a leak in the serializer lib you've been using for years without issue.
@@wnbdriver well to be able to get to that point i dont think it helps to code with copilot. It just takes a lot of learning opportunities away from you. Someone who already has 5 years of expoerience in react for example might get a nice speed boost saving time on boilerplate stuff. Not saying its all bad. Just especially junior devs should be careful.
Single dad here without any backup, just started full time in the software engineering field less than a year ago, trying to work on a big project in the evenings after the kids are out. I will say I that watching a couple episodes of squid games or related self care activities are definitely needed but they can easily get carried away. I think knowing when to slow down and take a break and being aware of how much of a break one needs is more important than simply denying breaks or guilt tripping oneself. Always look for the balance. Happy New Year!
Really can't thank you enough for all of the advice and effort you put into your videos. I've learnt a tremendous amount from you, evolved as a developer. I've been working as a developer full time for four years now, and for at least three of those, you've been right there, making me think differently, helping me to become more disciplined. Thanks for everything, Prime.
Laravel hoodie! ❤good going on the discipline! I'm doing something similar, waking up early and staying sober... Currently finding that my level of sobriety is directly linked to the amount of BS I'm willing to tolerate. More soberiety, less self doubt & less BS. Keeping track of the goals, successes, and failures is key to building a real sense of accountability outside of a demanding work environment. Live in the past, be depressed, live in the future, be anxious, live in the present, now that's the ticket. Let the silence do the heavy lifting. Thanks for all the great content, here's to a wonderful 2025
That is almost exactly my resolution from 2024. I got myself a planner, specifically a planner that had sections for quarterly goals, monthley goals, and space to reflect about my progress the prior month. I did this planner exercise specifically to help me trim out a lot of the cheap dopamine activities that would suck up my free time and drain me of any motivation (like midless instagram scrolling, shorts scrolling, and mindless reddit). The act of writing my thoughts and plans down changed hiw I approached my free time and helped me improve this past year way more than any other year in my life. I of course wasn't perfect about it all year, so now this year my resolution is to keep it up and improve just a little more than last year. Great resolution, that change in thinking is exactly what I needed and I think it would help you out as well.
Man, that video gives me hope. You inspire me, to be a better version of myself. The view of mentallity rather than goals is something I never thought about. Although my life looks different than yours, I will try to apply it in 2025. You're really the Primea-gem today. Thank you!
When I worked towards this, I always had to start small. It started with me deciding to make my bed every morning. From there I decided to do 20 pushups before I made my bed. You can scale up from there, knowing you can scale back down if you need too.
Routines are great, and I know people often think discipline and routines go hand in hand, but personally I think discipline is so much more. I see it as the willingness of force yourself to do things, if that makes sense. Sometimes new things just come up out of the blue, and you need to do it once and now. Routines can in fact even be harmful in this sense, for example if you are very comfortable in your current job / routines but you'd like to setup a company. Having good base routines are of course always useful, like washing your teeth, going to gym, etc.
I'm right there with you man! My goal in 2025 is to improve my focus and discipline skills! To be able to do more with less effort. I'm kinda lost there on how I can achieve that. But for sure, prioritizing things is a good way to start! Rock on in 2025 man!
simple wisdom, as always my dude. thanks for all the content this year, I just completed my year in review, and your name went down as one of the people that had the most impact on me. here's to a mega 2025.
This year has been the year I found this channel, it has made me a better dev, speaking of discipline this month has also been my longest coding streak, of 18 days in a row, with an average of 5 hours a day, i hope to continue this to 2025, any advice is welcome.
This video spoke to me, I've also been feeling kinda lost after changing job, being less stressed at work makes me loosey goosey and non focused on the core of the problems at hand, more distracted in general. I'll also try to journal myself, thanks for the inspiration and good luck!
I hear you, Prime. All the best for 2025. I am looking forward to see how this goes and what you learn. For me, I want to get to a place in 2025 where money does not take up so much of my mind space. I am not talking about rolling in the cash, but to get to a place where I feel comfortable and where I know I can can take care of my family and not be floored by those lovely little nasty surprises live tends to throw at us every once in a while. We got this.
Yes Primeagen! Affirming quote: “What you get from achieving your goals is not as important as who you become”. I would recommend 90 day goals, monthly self-check for pacing, and blocking off “self-date night.” Time to enjoy two squid games. Eg Friday 2pm - 4pm every week. Also consider an unstructured day like Sunday where you plan to have no lists or goals. Just wake up, live and be with fam. Rest & Power Up times make the week stronk. Happy New Year-agen 🎉
Wow having a goal for the discipline needed to achieve the goal instead of the goal itself, this just shifted things in me I will be striving for the same!!
it really sounds like cgp gray's yearly themes. also it seems like you are at the same point about notebooks. if you didnt checked already, it is really cool
Thank you for making such a great example, MrPrimeagen. You'll impact so many people by working hard and building this mindset. Your observation about the january gym person combine well with my own thought: they're being driven only as long as their motivation lasts. But motivation is a fickle mistress and so is inspiration. I've found great luck by making things I wanna do a habit and reaching for discipline when I'm falling out of said habit. Motivation and inspiration help me surpass my limits momentarily, and lately I've started reminding myself to feel grateful for each day I've already been including goals in my diary and found satisfactory success with it. Both types of goals, the "goal as the end" and "goal as the means". I wish you, your family and anyone reading this comment all the best and Happy New Years
P.S.: I wanna mention how I keep my list of goals. I separate them into short/medium/long term (judged not from now, but from the moment I decide to begin) and each of these is split into high/low priority. Every now and then I simply go through them and add, reshuffle, mark as done/abandoned, etc.
@@dominikvonlavante6113 I mean do they give visa or something. I always wanted to explore a developed country, though I might not wanna stay there forever due to being all alone
Mike, I sincerely wish you to achieve your goals in 2025, no matter in which context (means or character, or both)! And I'm completely agree with your inference that the discipline is the key. But... don't forget it's a way easier to exercise discipline, when you're relatively young, 'cause it's not yet a decisive function of the will. You know (probably) the saying: "Don't look for willpower in the young, look for it in the old." Happy New Year and good luck!
I am really happy about you, that's a great way to adopt a mentality that you wish to apply to your life. I've learned so much from you, actually not that much (not directly) but you've inspired me to dig deeper, where the learning happens, to try things I normally wouldn't try and that has made me a better developer and person. Thank you good sir.
Just what I needed-perfect timing. Thank you for all the wisdom and humor over the years. Wishing you the very best in 2025; your presence is more essential than ever. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The problem with setting goals for the whole year is underestimating the longness of the year and things that go in the way. Keep it simple :D. But... be realistic with yourself. Goals are fine, but.. life lived goes longer mile. Now.. not waking up in 5am... I guess sleeping till 8-9am is perfectly fine. I guess, if you do what you need to do in the evening, well, that's the price. Like me working tonight because I've done nothing during the day. Have I woke up at 8am today... maybe I might have done something more, but.. who knows. I try not to beat myself up for not keeping up to the pressure. I run a small business, and most of the stress is a direct result of lack of discipline. That is, have I done what needed to be done, in time, it would be much less stressful. So... being "lazy" is really a major stressor, especially if you need to keep up. On the other hand, one has to know his limits. Going either way to extremes will result only in more stress, and eventually burnout.
Journaling changed my life man. No lie, it was the reason I eventually got a job in big tech being self taught. Great hack to look into. Cheers and happy new year!
I am with you. I have been spending WAY to much time on youtube and on X. Unless I need to research something I am going to limit these to only a few min of catchup between 8-9 at night. Thanks for the energy.
Spirituality advice, stop trying to "BECOME", and start BEING, oldest advice "know yourself" "be yourself", don't become something else, we all [probably] love/like the way you already are, and what value you give in your content
I love this incremental approach and monthly check in with yourself. I’ve been working on self discipline for the last year but it was a little more open ended. I’m gonna try your method prime! Thanks for doing everything you do.
Good to hear it, bro. I started using a journal again recently and it's been great. Just recently, I realized writing down a list of tasks each day wasn't enough but if I wrote in an active voice what my plans were and how I wanted to accomplish them I found I was much more motivated and followed through. It's been huge for me
One quick advice I do have that helped me a LOT is get an Elliptical bike set it near where you watch anything like TV, UA-cam or Twitch, and do at least 30 minutes to and hour everyday. Your stress levels go way down, as you actually unwind, and you can just get to it right away instead of thinking you need to go anywhere else. At first you won't be starting with 30 minutes, just do 5 each day or how much you feel it's good for you but stick with it. I'm doing it for a few years now and not only I lost like 20/30 pounds but I do feel way, way better overall. That being said, I really appreciate your kind words and help wish you nothing but Peace and Love!
I love this, your focus on systems and processes as opposed to results is exactly what I need to do in my life. I have a similar goal this year, to just journal every day of the week. Everything else is going to sort itself out, through pure goal-setting and reflection. have a great 2025 prime
"The goals are the means, the ends is the character." I have honestly never thought about it that way, and it really is a great way to frame it. I hope you accomplish what you set out to do, Prime!
I love writing in notebooks. My desk and shelves are filled with graph paper notebooks and index cards. I've tried writing on iPads, taking notes on laptops, etc. but they never worked as well. Lo-fi learning. Physical books, pen or pencil, notebook paper, index cards. Give it a try.
Words of wisdom. You made me realize that I also want to adopt the resolution of developing greater discipline, I simply didn't know how to articulate it. Thanks for sharing!
its not weird , i think what you are saying is awesome , most ppl don't really accomplish the goals they set for the next year, losing discipline is a common human behaviour and even ppl who are disciplined they do have some free time that could be more productive, the goal is not to be perfect but to be more productive and a better human being !
the "decisions of last night" really resonated with me -- what you described of the slow/late morning-after sounded a lot like a hangover and in sense that's exactly what it ends up being. great takes!
Sounds to me like you already have a lot of discipline streaming consistently for 6 years while having a job etc. Glad you found your way out of the grind, would love to hear a bit about how you decided to get started with streaming, the ups and downs. Love the content look forward to more in 2025.
I find it's useful to spend some time on new year's eve to reflect on the entire year and basically do a self-retro. What went well, why, what went bad, why, and so on. It's one of my favorite times of year for that reason.
I found writing on a tablet (ex ipad or surface) >> a paper notepad: 1. I tend to review my notes more often at longer time scales. 2. it's easier to organize and takes up less space 3. I loose them less can sync them over multiple devices. 4. I don't run out of paper Def have both options, as I don't want an excuse to not write something down, but I find digital as something that is generally better and more user friendly.
I respect this, I have been working for myself, and it is easy to slide into "doing whatever whenever". I think a lot of young people need to hear that honestly everything is a domain addicting product and a subscription these days, it is okay to scale back, let it go and reset for the sake of your goals. You earned my like a subscription!
I can really resonate with this video. When I started working from home everyday I lost that discipline to get up early and prep for my day. I am hoping to regain some of that lost discipline this year too. Keep up the great videos.
i can totally feel this. I got even just a little taste of being creatively self employed and it was as stresful as it was beautiful. Really great and inspiring little video
Such a W take. The discipline is the reward. The grind is the reward. I remember when I got my first internship, the dopamine rush was gigantic. And then, when I got my actual job, it was less of a dopamine hit. Now im on to just chasing the next dragon of 'sde2' or whatever, ya know. I thought that achieving a job title in of itself would cure my life, and all of a sudden everything would change and I would be happy. Nope. I just took a week off for the holidays from work, and by the end, I was fucking miserable. It hit me REALLY hard today, that the grind itself is the true reward. It keeps you together. It makes you feel mentally good about yourself. Im the exact same way. Time off doesnt make me feel good, it makes me feel worse. Discipline is the best resolution for 2025. We will all win bros ❤
My 2025 goals (I'll come back to this): + First side project made at least 100USD + Break into HFT (read at least 2 OS books, mastered leetcode in C++) + Join 1000 lbs club (currently 730 lbs). Current bw 140lbs, target 155lbs
Hey PrimeAgen, just wanted to say thanks for making this video explaining your plans/goals for 2025. The way you have laid out your plans and setting them monthly to then check back on what went well & what didn't is easier said then done. But at the same time its simple process that helps us kick ourselves into gear to get stuff done. I've always liked taking notes on stuff and always looking back to remind myself of what is upcoming in the future (for a long time). But half the time, nothing stuck & I kept floating through life like a zombie (aka on autopilot). But I have been recently more and more taking notes on things that need to get done and been breaking them down to a point where in my brain it is feasible and I swiftly take action, even if it is small steps towards the goal. Something about planning and laying things out in small simple steps has been something I have been more & more aware nowadays. And I think it may be a key goal to hold myself accountable. But again, easier said then done. Thanks again.
Sounds similar to a goal achieving strategy I’ve been using past few months of having 6-week focuses. The goals within the focus are to do the actions you believe will result in moving towards your more abstract life goals. Like 1hr stretch everyday, 3hrs on project A 5 days a week, 4 1hr swims per week, etc. The actions are controllable, how fast you progress or how lucky/unlucky you are is not, so achievement goals are not included themselves.
Preach it! What do you mean by character? Like, the person who you want to become / be and the "what" you want to have when you're that person? I.e., discipline in this case? I dig that!
Im with you on this one, my goal this year is FOCUS. I have a tendency to take on too much all at once, leaving me with little progress in many areas. Most of these areas are not so important to my overall personal and career goals. This year I build my focus and discipline by picking 1-3 skills and traits that are most impactful to my life, while saying no to most everything else. I give myself permission to switch my focus every once in a while to spice things up, but I will not get lost in it, not in 2025.
From my experience the way you can gain discipline is by set yourself up to be in an environment that shapes dicipline. A good example is to take some martial arts lessons. The issue with the approach you are taking in my opinion (and my personal experience) is the fact that goals matter less than processes. The goals is the thing you want to achieve, but you need to have good processes to get there are the once that get you there. Evironment influences you a lot, I was way less likely to lay down on my coach when I started to work in a separate room. A lot of these idea are from the Atomic Habbits book. It worked for me
I feel the exact same way about discipline, I started my channel during my final year of University, for a while after that I was able to keep everything in line but as of late I've certainly been letting things slip, sleeping in way past when I should be, staying up way too late, putting things off when they could be done now.
This was a very inspiring video! I also think this year I want to scale back from all the unrealistic goals, and instead take a more methodical approach like your doing by focusing on a single theme or concept. I choose consistency as my theme of the year! 🎉
I made a similar comment. I'm thinking of having multiple timers (buckets) for things and when that bucket is empty move on to something more productive. Then add a couple of Pomodoro timers when I'm actually working to stay focused. Time can be the enemy or Time can be an ally
Can relate to this so much!.I'm almost through with Angela Yu's Fullstack web dev course and I decided my New Year's resolution is to get Quality Sleep. That's it!. I believe this would yield compounding results. My goal is to land a dev job in 2025. I know I'll be back to write that landed one!.
Honestly, there are some dumb, very simple things, that can help. I noticed that, while going to the gym the whole week and resting on the weekends made getting back to it the next week harder, so I just stopped going to the gym on monday, instead I rest friday and monday, but still train saturday and sunday. It's been over four years and I've managed to build this discipline over time. You really have to just try things and adapt in a way that gives you a sense of development and pleasure while you are doing it, after some time it will become natural.
I've been struggling with discipline and planning since I was 15. Looking back at my notes from 2014, articles saved, books read. I realize I haven’t made much progress. I’m good at setting realistic goals, but over the years, I’ve rarely accomplished all of them. My discipline relies on punishment, deadlines, and time crunches. This year, I planned with my lead in February to get an AWS certification paid by work. I put it off until literally the very end of December. I started studying for it on 2024-12-23 and took the exam on 2024-12-30. Succeeded, all exams in school were the same, but not happy about it. If the work that i have to do is not comfortable. I can’t seem to do it for long period of times until the consequences stare at me. Just sending these thoughts into the void. Ignore it, good video, these kinds of videos always help me put things into perspective. Will def try something similar.
Great to hear your gym goals for the new year! My issue isn't usually dispoline is doing too much and burning out lol. Hope you have a good new year and the AI bubble finally bursts
I have a similar experience, I left my job around may last year and at first I thought I was going to get a nice rest to refresh for a couple of months and get back to business with some personal projects and learning new stuff... 7 months later and I have some interesting ideas, but none of the discipline to even start... It seems to be a common thing though, I have friends on a similar state of not being able to create a healthy routine and feeling kind of stuck... I can relate to your plans for this year 😁, crossing all my fingers for it to go good enough for everyone going through something similar and wanting to make a change 🙌
You’re better than me I would never want to step into the full grindset. :Muscle: I am just trying to stay balanced emotionally physically and mentally. Sounds like that looks different from me to you. Good luck on your mindset goal.
Happy New Year!! Thank you for sharing your thoughts on that. Listening to you inspired me to do the same and accomplish much more than I did in 2024. Much love
I have a similar goal, my "resolution" for 2025 is to have some sort of creative task that I can learn to enjoy and be consistent at, such as drawing or making music. There's no strict outcome here, but if I can do this properly, I have a new hobby that can branch out into a hundred different other hobbies or opportunities. Also congrats on 666k subs.
"The ultimate reason for setting goals is to entice you to become the person it takes to achieve them." - Jim Rohn Your last thoughts in the video reminded me of that
I hear you bro. Having very similar feeling of myself being undisciplined and unhappy as the result of this. Wish you all the best in your challenge, good luck!
that anxiety comes from not allowing yourself to not have to win your bread. my advise would be to take it easy, find something in which you feel accomplished by just pushing the project a bit further without an end goal or you're going to get burnt out. that feeling won't go away until you change your mindset from receiving the Netflix cash reward. calm down and do some volunteering, it'll be good for your health
Can attest to using a notebook. I used to compulsively overwrite in notebooks then basically stopped. Since starting again I feel way more dialed in on goals. Studies have shown increased neural activity in writing vs typing, definitely worth the extra time. Have a great year, Prime.
Been feeling the same bruv… floating through. I try to stay consistent w.r.t discipline / for instance working out, but relapse at times back to floating through. Have been practicing stuff from meditation: “just begin again”, I try not to judge the relapse and just begin again. Hopefully each time I get closer toward stronger discipline.
I'm working on this with my therapist. It all starts with a good routine for the most basic things, and by basic I mean human basic needs like consistant sleep. Then building on that routine from there has been much easier.
Yo, me too, bro. I decided to change in december and started immediately. In particular I want to train enough to perform one arm push ups and be able to do pistol squats. Very simple and measurable goals, perfect to train my will and discipline too imo. And i see many people started to think this way. The world once again will be a better place if this trend will continue.
My goal for 2025 is to take a deep dive into C++. I've been meaning to do it but always put it off for one reason or another. Now that I'm working on an offline maps navigation software for low end systems like Pis, I'm starting to feel the limits of Python (yes yes I know, wrong tool for the job, but that's the only tool I know. Ayways) The goal is to basically allow people to tap into their already existing infotainment systems so that the car remains stock for the most part. Lots to learn. Well, gotta get to it. Have a great day Prime.
This actually inspired me. Last year I was able to make my open source hobby my full time job. I work from home all day and I'm living in only one room, thus I'm practically always working. The thing I struggle with is indeed discipline. How do I make sure I maintain myself correctly? How do I make sure my room doesn't become a mess? How do I maintain consistency with going to the gym or making sure I satisfy my social needs? This video now motivated me to try the same and set goals. 🎉
My goal for 2025 is to have my evenings feel more like 1995. More reading books and less, or preferably no doomscrolling.
based goal! cheers to enjoying more of everyday life
real shit right here
Me 2!!
literally just bought 20 books to try to read more
I hope you get it done bro

I think 2025 will see a lot fewer improvements in AI than we've seen in the last year.
The bubble probably won't burst, but it will probably flatten and maybe decline a bit.
The trick to being faster with AI is that you get AI to write slop for you, and then you get other people to review it, and that slows them down so much that it makes you faster by comparison.

AI is propping up the tech sector and the stock market as a whole. If the bubble bursts, the market will see a massive correction, leading us into a recession and far more people out of jobs than what we have now.
Sorry, but the world without AI is not happening anymore, AI is here to stay.

The ultimate plot twist: Prime as a scrum master/ PM
He is now of the Agile mindset, but for himself. Truly cursed realization.
😂😂😂😂😂
Lmfaooooo
I work as a data scientist and my team just got offered a single copilot license, i passed it off because I am happy just using my personal claude license from time to time but dont want any autocomplete. My coworker is using it now and he was reporting it is really great and makes him more efficient.
Then recently he needed me to find some bug in his code and he ended up screen sharing and coding for like 60 minutes. His whole coding workflow was only prompting in his jupyter notebook. almost no real coding anymore. even doing one liner list comprehensions or writing to a file he prompted the copilot. i was so shocked. He just finished his masters this year and i feel this is just gonna make him decline super hard.
Using AI to understand some concepts or let ai write you some simple examples that you can then understand and adapt to your workflow and you really learn way faster and the stuff actually sticks. But Copilot or copy pasta the code directly and you'll just get fked
aight you convinced me.
Mindless copypasting got to a new level of mindless😅
Why would using autocomplete when writing code to write to a file have an impact on your capacities as a developer?
At the end of the day, if you ship efficient readable, bug free code at a reasonable time, who cares how the process of writing it looked like. I use AI a lot when coding too. Currently making a Django application for work. I am very strict on making beautiful code (try my best) cover all edge cases and obviously prevent bugs. I will admit, I some of the syntax for eg opening a json file I still don't know perfectly because I just never need to type it out completely.
experience doesn't come from not using copilot. experience comes from when you serialize 1 million objects in the same process and you find a leak in the serializer lib you've been using for years without issue.
@@wnbdriver well to be able to get to that point i dont think it helps to code with copilot. It just takes a lot of learning opportunities away from you.
Someone who already has 5 years of expoerience in react for example might get a nice speed boost saving time on boilerplate stuff. Not saying its all bad. Just especially junior devs should be careful.
Single dad here without any backup, just started full time in the software engineering field less than a year ago, trying to work on a big project in the evenings after the kids are out. I will say I that watching a couple episodes of squid games or related self care activities are definitely needed but they can easily get carried away. I think knowing when to slow down and take a break and being aware of how much of a break one needs is more important than simply denying breaks or guilt tripping oneself. Always look for the balance. Happy New Year!
I am currently carried away watching Dead Like Mike.. 😞
Really can't thank you enough for all of the advice and effort you put into your videos. I've learnt a tremendous amount from you, evolved as a developer. I've been working as a developer full time for four years now, and for at least three of those, you've been right there, making me think differently, helping me to become more disciplined.
Thanks for everything, Prime.
Laravel hoodie! ❤good going on the discipline! I'm doing something similar, waking up early and staying sober...
Currently finding that my level of sobriety is directly linked to the amount of BS I'm willing to tolerate. More soberiety, less self doubt & less BS.
Keeping track of the goals, successes, and failures is key to building a real sense of accountability outside of a demanding work environment.
Live in the past, be depressed, live in the future, be anxious, live in the present, now that's the ticket. Let the silence do the heavy lifting.
Thanks for all the great content, here's to a wonderful 2025
That is almost exactly my resolution from 2024. I got myself a planner, specifically a planner that had sections for quarterly goals, monthley goals, and space to reflect about my progress the prior month. I did this planner exercise specifically to help me trim out a lot of the cheap dopamine activities that would suck up my free time and drain me of any motivation (like midless instagram scrolling, shorts scrolling, and mindless reddit). The act of writing my thoughts and plans down changed hiw I approached my free time and helped me improve this past year way more than any other year in my life. I of course wasn't perfect about it all year, so now this year my resolution is to keep it up and improve just a little more than last year. Great resolution, that change in thinking is exactly what I needed and I think it would help you out as well.
Man, that video gives me hope. You inspire me, to be a better version of myself. The view of mentallity rather than goals is something I never thought about. Although my life looks different than yours, I will try to apply it in 2025. You're really the Primea-gem today. Thank you!
When I worked towards this, I always had to start small. It started with me deciding to make my bed every morning. From there I decided to do 20 pushups before I made my bed. You can scale up from there, knowing you can scale back down if you need too.
Routines are great, and I know people often think discipline and routines go hand in hand, but personally I think discipline is so much more. I see it as the willingness of force yourself to do things, if that makes sense. Sometimes new things just come up out of the blue, and you need to do it once and now. Routines can in fact even be harmful in this sense, for example if you are very comfortable in your current job / routines but you'd like to setup a company. Having good base routines are of course always useful, like washing your teeth, going to gym, etc.

thanks for all the content this year, I just completed my year in review, and your name went down as one of the people that had the most impact on me. here's to a mega 2025.
perfect timing, needed a video while shittinf
bro posted this twice to make sure everybody knows he had watched it while shitting
Thank you, Prime. You don't know how much your videos mean to me and others. Thank you, and I wish you a wonderful New Year!
This year has been the year I found this channel, it has made me a better dev, speaking of discipline this month has also been my longest coding streak, of 18 days in a row, with an average of 5 hours a day, i hope to continue this to 2025, any advice is welcome.
imagine if prime got a low taper fade
imagine if prime got a mullet
He’s a boomer doesn’t give a fuck about his looks.
that would be massive😮
the prime getting a low taper fade meme is still massive
I only know of this meme because of LIMC.
This video spoke to me, I've also been feeling kinda lost after changing job, being less stressed at work makes me loosey goosey and non focused on the core of the problems at hand, more distracted in general.
I'll also try to journal myself, thanks for the inspiration and good luck!
I hear you, Prime. All the best for 2025. I am looking forward to see how this goes and what you learn. For me, I want to get to a place in 2025 where money does not take up so much of my mind space. I am not talking about rolling in the cash, but to get to a place where I feel comfortable and where I know I can can take care of my family and not be floored by those lovely little nasty surprises live tends to throw at us every once in a while. We got this.
Yes Primeagen! Affirming quote: “What you get from achieving your goals is not as important as who you become”. I would recommend 90 day goals, monthly self-check for pacing, and blocking off “self-date night.” Time to enjoy two squid games. Eg Friday 2pm - 4pm every week. Also consider an unstructured day like Sunday where you plan to have no lists or goals. Just wake up, live and be with fam. Rest & Power Up times make the week stronk. Happy New Year-agen 🎉
Wow having a goal for the discipline needed to achieve the goal instead of the goal itself, this just shifted things in me I will be striving for the same!!
it really sounds like cgp gray's yearly themes. also it seems like you are at the same point about notebooks. if you didnt checked already, it is really cool
Thank you for making such a great example, MrPrimeagen.
You'll impact so many people by working hard and building this mindset.
Your observation about the january gym person combine well with my own thought:
they're being driven only as long as their motivation lasts.
But motivation is a fickle mistress and so is inspiration.
I've found great luck by making things I wanna do a habit and reaching for discipline when I'm falling out of said habit.
Motivation and inspiration help me surpass my limits momentarily, and lately I've started reminding myself to feel grateful for each day
I've already been including goals in my diary and found satisfactory success with it.
Both types of goals, the "goal as the end" and "goal as the means".
I wish you, your family and anyone reading this comment all the best and Happy New Years
P.S.: I wanna mention how I keep my list of goals. I separate them into short/medium/long term (judged not from now, but from the moment I decide to begin) and each of these is split into high/low priority. Every now and then I simply go through them and add, reshuffle, mark as done/abandoned, etc.
After losing my morning to watching the Squid Game finale... man, I needed to watch this
Hey Prime, so you woke up at 5am, but how long did you sleep, and, if it is less than 8 hours, how did you stay in shape? Thank you for your content 🙏

Mike, I sincerely wish you to achieve your goals in 2025, no matter in which context (means or character, or both)!
And I'm completely agree with your inference that the discipline is the key. But... don't forget it's a way easier to exercise discipline, when you're relatively young, 'cause it's not yet a decisive function of the will. You know (probably) the saying: "Don't look for willpower in the young, look for it in the old."
Happy New Year and good luck!
I am really happy about you, that's a great way to adopt a mentality that you wish to apply to your life. I've learned so much from you, actually not that much (not directly) but you've inspired me to dig deeper, where the learning happens, to try things I normally wouldn't try and that has made me a better developer and person. Thank you good sir.
Just what I needed-perfect timing. Thank you for all the wisdom and humor over the years. Wishing you the very best in 2025; your presence is more essential than ever. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The problem with setting goals for the whole year is underestimating the longness of the year and things that go in the way. Keep it simple :D.
But... be realistic with yourself. Goals are fine, but.. life lived goes longer mile.
Now.. not waking up in 5am... I guess sleeping till 8-9am is perfectly fine. I guess, if you do what you need to do in the evening, well, that's the price. Like me working tonight because I've done nothing during the day. Have I woke up at 8am today... maybe I might have done something more, but.. who knows. I try not to beat myself up for not keeping up to the pressure.
I run a small business, and most of the stress is a direct result of lack of discipline.
That is, have I done what needed to be done, in time, it would be much less stressful. So... being "lazy" is really a major stressor, especially if you need to keep up.
On the other hand, one has to know his limits. Going either way to extremes will result only in more stress, and eventually burnout.
Journaling changed my life man. No lie, it was the reason I eventually got a job in big tech being self taught. Great hack to look into. Cheers and happy new year!
Calling out my gym routine 😤
I am with you. I have been spending WAY to much time on youtube and on X. Unless I need to research something I am going to limit these to only a few min of catchup between 8-9 at night. Thanks for the energy.
Spirituality advice, stop trying to "BECOME", and start BEING, oldest advice "know yourself" "be yourself", don't become something else, we all [probably] love/like the way you already are, and what value you give in your content
I love this incremental approach and monthly check in with yourself. I’ve been working on self discipline for the last year but it was a little more open ended. I’m gonna try your method prime! Thanks for doing everything you do.
Effectively it is scrum: sprint planning, retrospective, reprioritizing… Welcome to agile!!! 😂
Good to hear it, bro. I started using a journal again recently and it's been great. Just recently, I realized writing down a list of tasks each day wasn't enough but if I wrote in an active voice what my plans were and how I wanted to accomplish them I found I was much more motivated and followed through. It's been huge for me
perfect timing, needed a video while taking a dooker
i appreciated both comments, the shittinf one, and the dooker one
One quick advice I do have that helped me a LOT is get an Elliptical bike set it near where you watch anything like TV, UA-cam or Twitch, and do at least 30 minutes to and hour everyday.
Your stress levels go way down, as you actually unwind, and you can just get to it right away instead of thinking you need to go anywhere else.
At first you won't be starting with 30 minutes, just do 5 each day or how much you feel it's good for you but stick with it.
I'm doing it for a few years now and not only I lost like 20/30 pounds but I do feel way, way better overall.
That being said, I really appreciate your kind words and help wish you nothing but Peace and Love!
Read Atomic Habits Prime! It goes over what youre talking about
I love this, your focus on systems and processes as opposed to results is exactly what I need to do in my life.
I have a similar goal this year, to just journal every day of the week. Everything else is going to sort itself out, through pure goal-setting and reflection.
have a great 2025 prime
5:32 so just scrum and retros then
😂
Lol i hate both
I don't always agree with you, but I really appreciate you, dude! All the best in 2025!
You want your caps-lock or your shift key to start working again.
"The goals are the means, the ends is the character." I have honestly never thought about it that way, and it really is a great way to frame it.
I hope you accomplish what you set out to do, Prime!
I love writing in notebooks. My desk and shelves are filled with graph paper notebooks and index cards. I've tried writing on iPads, taking notes on laptops, etc. but they never worked as well.
Lo-fi learning. Physical books, pen or pencil, notebook paper, index cards. Give it a try.
I agree. There's something about the infinite freeform nature of physical writing that can't be beat, not even by something like Org Mode
Words of wisdom. You made me realize that I also want to adopt the resolution of developing greater discipline, I simply didn't know how to articulate it. Thanks for sharing!
What reviews of Squid Game is Prime reading? Reddit?
i will be finishing season two either way :)
✊Thank you prime, this year you helped me alot. Up the prime.
i thought the tittle read "what i want from you 2025"
Happy New Year Prime!
its not weird , i think what you are saying is awesome , most ppl don't really accomplish the goals they set for the next year, losing discipline is a common human behaviour and even ppl who are disciplined they do have some free time that could be more productive, the goal is not to be perfect but to be more productive and a better human being !
All the very best for that Prime. And great to hear you sum it up so succinctly 🙌
If you want be disciplined and trained, you could start streaming from bicycle.
the "decisions of last night" really resonated with me -- what you described of the slow/late morning-after sounded a lot like a hangover and in sense that's exactly what it ends up being. great takes!
6:23 UNSUBBED just because of that 🤣
Sounds to me like you already have a lot of discipline streaming consistently for 6 years while having a job etc. Glad you found your way out of the grind, would love to hear a bit about how you decided to get started with streaming, the ups and downs. Love the content look forward to more in 2025.
Start actually programming, make a game.
I find it's useful to spend some time on new year's eve to reflect on the entire year and basically do a self-retro. What went well, why, what went bad, why, and so on. It's one of my favorite times of year for that reason.
I found writing on a tablet (ex ipad or surface) >> a paper notepad:
1. I tend to review my notes more often at longer time scales.
2. it's easier to organize and takes up less space
3. I loose them less can sync them over multiple devices.
4. I don't run out of paper
Def have both options, as I don't want an excuse to not write something down, but I find digital as something that is generally better and more user friendly.
I respect this, I have been working for myself, and it is easy to slide into "doing whatever whenever". I think a lot of young people need to hear that honestly everything is a domain addicting product and a subscription these days, it is okay to scale back, let it go and reset for the sake of your goals. You earned my like a subscription!
I can really resonate with this video. When I started working from home everyday I lost that discipline to get up early and prep for my day. I am hoping to regain some of that lost discipline this year too. Keep up the great videos.
i can totally feel this. I got even just a little taste of being creatively self employed and it was as stresful as it was beautiful.
Really great and inspiring little video
Such a W take. The discipline is the reward. The grind is the reward.
I remember when I got my first internship, the dopamine rush was gigantic. And then, when I got my actual job, it was less of a dopamine hit. Now im on to just chasing the next dragon of 'sde2' or whatever, ya know. I thought that achieving a job title in of itself would cure my life, and all of a sudden everything would change and I would be happy. Nope. I just took a week off for the holidays from work, and by the end, I was fucking miserable. It hit me REALLY hard today, that the grind itself is the true reward. It keeps you together. It makes you feel mentally good about yourself. Im the exact same way. Time off doesnt make me feel good, it makes me feel worse.
Discipline is the best resolution for 2025. We will all win bros ❤
My 2025 goals (I'll come back to this):
+ First side project made at least 100USD
+ Break into HFT (read at least 2 OS books, mastered leetcode in C++)
+ Join 1000 lbs club (currently 730 lbs). Current bw 140lbs, target 155lbs
Hey PrimeAgen, just wanted to say thanks for making this video explaining your plans/goals for 2025.
The way you have laid out your plans and setting them monthly to then check back on what went well & what didn't is easier said then done. But at the same time its simple process that helps us kick ourselves into gear to get stuff done.
I've always liked taking notes on stuff and always looking back to remind myself of what is upcoming in the future (for a long time).
But half the time, nothing stuck & I kept floating through life like a zombie (aka on autopilot).
But I have been recently more and more taking notes on things that need to get done and been breaking them down to a point where in my brain it is feasible and I swiftly take action, even if it is small steps towards the goal.
Something about planning and laying things out in small simple steps has been something I have been more & more aware nowadays. And I think it may be a key goal to hold myself accountable.
But again, easier said then done. Thanks again.
Sounds similar to a goal achieving strategy I’ve been using past few months of having 6-week focuses. The goals within the focus are to do the actions you believe will result in moving towards your more abstract life goals. Like 1hr stretch everyday, 3hrs on project A 5 days a week, 4 1hr swims per week, etc. The actions are controllable, how fast you progress or how lucky/unlucky you are is not, so achievement goals are not included themselves.
Preach it! What do you mean by character? Like, the person who you want to become / be and the "what" you want to have when you're that person? I.e., discipline in this case?
I dig that!
Im with you on this one, my goal this year is FOCUS. I have a tendency to take on too much all at once, leaving me with little progress in many areas. Most of these areas are not so important to my overall personal and career goals. This year I build my focus and discipline by picking 1-3 skills and traits that are most impactful to my life, while saying no to most everything else. I give myself permission to switch my focus every once in a while to spice things up, but I will not get lost in it, not in 2025.
From my experience the way you can gain discipline is by set yourself up to be in an environment that shapes dicipline. A good example is to take some martial arts lessons.
The issue with the approach you are taking in my opinion (and my personal experience) is the fact that goals matter less than processes. The goals is the thing you want to achieve, but you need to have good processes to get there are the once that get you there. Evironment influences you a lot, I was way less likely to lay down on my coach when I started to work in a separate room.
A lot of these idea are from the Atomic Habbits book. It worked for me
I feel the exact same way about discipline, I started my channel during my final year of University, for a while after that I was able to keep everything in line but as of late I've certainly been letting things slip, sleeping in way past when I should be, staying up way too late, putting things off when they could be done now.
This was a very inspiring video! I also think this year I want to scale back from all the unrealistic goals, and instead take a more methodical approach like your doing by focusing on a single theme or concept.
I choose consistency as my theme of the year! 🎉
Good luck my guy! I wish you the best of everything in 2025!
I made a similar comment. I'm thinking of having multiple timers (buckets) for things and when that bucket is empty move on to something more productive. Then add a couple of Pomodoro timers when I'm actually working to stay focused.
Time can be the enemy or Time can be an ally
Can relate to this so much!.I'm almost through with Angela Yu's Fullstack web dev course and I decided my New Year's resolution is to get Quality Sleep. That's it!. I believe this would yield compounding results. My goal is to land a dev job in 2025. I know I'll be back to write that landed one!.
Honestly, there are some dumb, very simple things, that can help. I noticed that, while going to the gym the whole week and resting on the weekends made getting back to it the next week harder, so I just stopped going to the gym on monday, instead I rest friday and monday, but still train saturday and sunday. It's been over four years and I've managed to build this discipline over time. You really have to just try things and adapt in a way that gives you a sense of development and pleasure while you are doing it, after some time it will become natural.
I've been struggling with discipline and planning since I was 15. Looking back at my notes from 2014, articles saved, books read. I realize I haven’t made much progress.
I’m good at setting realistic goals, but over the years, I’ve rarely accomplished all of them. My discipline relies on punishment, deadlines, and time crunches. This year, I planned with my lead in February to get an AWS certification paid by work. I put it off until literally the very end of December. I started studying for it on 2024-12-23 and took the exam on 2024-12-30. Succeeded, all exams in school were the same, but not happy about it.
If the work that i have to do is not comfortable. I can’t seem to do it for long period of times until the consequences stare at me. Just sending these thoughts into the void. Ignore it, good video, these kinds of videos always help me put things into perspective. Will def try something similar.
Great to hear your gym goals for the new year! My issue isn't usually dispoline is doing too much and burning out lol. Hope you have a good new year and the AI bubble finally bursts
I need this. Thank you so much. You're inspiring me and also helping me to take my own actions.
"Discipline is a lost art" True. I want this art form.
I have a similar experience, I left my job around may last year and at first I thought I was going to get a nice rest to refresh for a couple of months and get back to business with some personal projects and learning new stuff... 7 months later and I have some interesting ideas, but none of the discipline to even start... It seems to be a common thing though, I have friends on a similar state of not being able to create a healthy routine and feeling kind of stuck... I can relate to your plans for this year 😁, crossing all my fingers for it to go good enough for everyone going through something similar and wanting to make a change 🙌
You’re better than me I would never want to step into the full grindset. :Muscle: I am just trying to stay balanced emotionally physically and mentally. Sounds like that looks different from me to you. Good luck on your mindset goal.
Happy New Year!! Thank you for sharing your thoughts on that. Listening to you inspired me to do the same and accomplish much more than I did in 2024. Much love
This is one of your most valueable video. Congrat!
I have a similar goal, my "resolution" for 2025 is to have some sort of creative task that I can learn to enjoy and be consistent at, such as drawing or making music. There's no strict outcome here, but if I can do this properly, I have a new hobby that can branch out into a hundred different other hobbies or opportunities. Also congrats on 666k subs.
"The ultimate reason for setting goals is to entice you to become the person it takes to achieve them." - Jim Rohn
Your last thoughts in the video reminded me of that
I hear you bro. Having very similar feeling of myself being undisciplined and unhappy as the result of this. Wish you all the best in your challenge, good luck!
that anxiety comes from not allowing yourself to not have to win your bread. my advise would be to take it easy, find something in which you feel accomplished by just pushing the project a bit further without an end goal or you're going to get burnt out. that feeling won't go away until you change your mindset from receiving the Netflix cash reward. calm down and do some volunteering, it'll be good for your health
Can attest to using a notebook. I used to compulsively overwrite in notebooks then basically stopped.
Since starting again I feel way more dialed in on goals.
Studies have shown increased neural activity in writing vs typing, definitely worth the extra time.
Have a great year, Prime.
Been feeling the same bruv… floating through. I try to stay consistent w.r.t discipline / for instance working out, but relapse at times back to floating through. Have been practicing stuff from meditation: “just begin again”, I try not to judge the relapse and just begin again. Hopefully each time I get closer toward stronger discipline.
I'm working on this with my therapist. It all starts with a good routine for the most basic things, and by basic I mean human basic needs like consistant sleep. Then building on that routine from there has been much easier.
Yo, me too, bro. I decided to change in december and started immediately. In particular I want to train enough to perform one arm push ups and be able to do pistol squats. Very simple and measurable goals, perfect to train my will and discipline too imo. And i see many people started to think this way. The world once again will be a better place if this trend will continue.
My goal for 2025 is to take a deep dive into C++. I've been meaning to do it but always put it off for one reason or another. Now that I'm working on an offline maps navigation software for low end systems like Pis, I'm starting to feel the limits of Python (yes yes I know, wrong tool for the job, but that's the only tool I know. Ayways) The goal is to basically allow people to tap into their already existing infotainment systems so that the car remains stock for the most part. Lots to learn. Well, gotta get to it. Have a great day Prime.
This actually inspired me. Last year I was able to make my open source hobby my full time job. I work from home all day and I'm living in only one room, thus I'm practically always working.
The thing I struggle with is indeed discipline. How do I make sure I maintain myself correctly? How do I make sure my room doesn't become a mess? How do I maintain consistency with going to the gym or making sure I satisfy my social needs?
This video now motivated me to try the same and set goals. 🎉
