I learned a system to work without motivation

- "Its not about how many times you fail, it's about whether you get back up or not." have you ever wished you could complete projects without any stress, and not lose energy and motivation halfway through? Maybe you envisioned yourself as endlessly productive?
I think most of us don’t have that ability. We procrastinate, put things off, and have poor discipline. I know for me, I’m pretty envious when I look at people who seem to effortlessly succeed.
In this video I attempt to make a system to solve this for good.

Wow this video really got popular. I really, really, appreciate every comment on this video, and am saving them all. They mean so much to me. Thank you for watching and I hope you are inspired :) also if you want to hang out on instagram: @evins_vids
Actually made me grab my physical paper notebook to jot this down so it sticks better. Thanks for putting this together.
I procrastinate a lot, I have started a lot of projects but never completed them. I'll definitely give your method a try... Thank u for your video❤
I hope you read my comment below your video. 👇❤ ( I've been procrastinating and doom scrolling and the helpful tips and encouragement are helpful.) I'm Probably, pretty undeniable undiagnosed ADD/ ADHD.
Evin, is it possible you are an ENFP, INFP, or other cognitive type that has high Ne (extroverted intuition)? People with strong creative/ideation functions like Ne can sometimes *seem* like they have ADD/ADHD, when it is not necessarily so. They just appreciate possibilities and novelty and are exceptionally skilled at making connections and seeing implications; and there often has to be intrinsic motivation in that you highly value the thing/task in and of itself, or have very strong almost do-or-die extrinsic motivation for something to stick (not in the usual sense of what is described as extrinsic, but rather, things like deadlines or your livelihood depending on it.)
Anyway, just food for thought.
@@Natalie-zk3qdWow good guess! Thanks for writing this out. I do type as INFP. I'll have to look into this further 🤔
He had me at “I don’t know if it’s adhd or I’m just depressed” me too bro
😂
Me too
Not me too. I don't eat the poison food that is behind all weakness in the body and the mind. Secondly, media is brain poison. Cut it out completely. Then contact me for a spot on the wealth makers team.
Same here vro i am a adhd person and might be depressed 😂but i want something like that
You got me here
Unsolicited advice from a random person diagnosed with ADHD at 38: Go and get yourself checked out for it. Don't waste your time.
If you get a positive diagnosis, there are many tools and resources available to help, including medication and CBT.
Either way, knowing it for sure is liberating.
3 Cards - Sticky Notes
1⃣: write down the "why" the reasons you want to achieve something meaningful
2⃣: write down why do you think you're going to struggle with the "why"
3⃣: rough draft, a summary of the whole activity
Thank you!
Very good❤
Thank you
❤ Thank you 🎉
Oh god I looked at your subscriber count half-minded and thought "ok - 350k". Then looked again and saw 350. Bro you deserve 350k. Or more.
Dang from 350 to 3k in less than 2 weeks. Congrats! Subcribed as well, great advice. I like your tone and style.
Please don’t use the name of God in vain!
I think his name is Yahweh, so we’re good.
God loves you! Repent and believe that Jesus paid the price for our sins! He can give you so much love, joy and peace!💕
Same here! Your content is very, very good!! 🎉
"i don't know, i'm just some guy" is so real
Yes, it's refreshing.
i have had had similar problems with procrastination, lack of motivation, and not sticking to a routine. I dont think of myself as very disciplined or motivated, but with a lot of trial and error I have come up with a lot of ways to get stuff done. I strongly recommend the book "Atomic Habits" if you havent read it yet. It has a lot of advice about how to basically trick yourself into good habits with small changes. The timer thing you mentioned was huge for me. I found that i am much better at processing time-based goals rather than results-based goals (i.e work for 20 minutes vs work until I reach the end). ultimately the thing that helped it click for me was thinking of my actions as "putting in a vote" for the version of myself that I want to be. It's like a piggy bank - sometimes you'll put in a quarter, sometimes you might shove a 20 dollar bill in there, but always put something in.
I really enjoyed your political takes, and your thoughts on what’s going on in the zeitgeist. I’m sorry that the whole political UA-cam landscape has become unbearable. You had some of the more nuanced and measured opinions.
The timer idea is necessary for me. It's called The Pomodoro Technique! 🍅
I think this is the first time ever someone's recommendation of atomic habits actually made me want to read it, I always thought it was just another sort of self help book with little practicality in normal life.
This man is a G. He has the confidence to post a full, edited video with his face in it onto the internet, whilst having a pretty small audience. Respect.
What on earth are you talking about about? You are easily impressed. Tons of people do this. Am I a G?
@@jerbear7952No, because unlike this guy, you feel the need to berate someone straying to support a pretty small channel. Also your content looks shit.
What's a G?
Rome wasn’t built in a day…then he shows us a clip of Venice. 😂😂😂😂
I noticed that too 😂
well, it's a pretty sure bet that Venice wasn't built in a day either
Well, Venice hasn't sunk in a day either. It's taken hundreds of years to get this far.
Haha well, he seems to be located in Italy, considering the street signs are in Italian, probably the northern part since there is snow and he has a video of the Dolomites. So most likely it's not because he doesn't know the difference between Rome and Venice.
It is probably to make you comment
Wow! I'm pretty impressed with the quality of the shots, the angles, the cuts, it's a great work bro! Keep going!
thank you!!! :D
My favourite part of this system is that I do all of those things but separately through time. I'm both autistic and adhd, and need to externalise a lot of my mental process and prepare before I start doing something, so seeing all of those things as one system was like the last piece I needed in my puzzle. Thank you very much! 🥰
I think the most novel part about this that seems will be helpful to me (yet to try it, just stumbled upon this video), is visualizing the points of struggle and frustration ahead of time. It's putting my brain in to problem solving mode around these points before I even get to them. I can imagine it'll help get around them easier and find ways to not let them surprise me.
A therapist once helped me by having me visualize the task and how I'll feel while working on it and imagine the feeling of completing the job. This adds on to that.
This reminds me of something I have learned years ago and that you might want to implement in your system : ONE THING. DO ONE THING. So, I have a big big life-changing plan for about 4 years from now. I could spend all my days now studying 10 hr a day, or 3 hours a day, or read three papers every day, ... go to conferences, listen to podcasts, have a strict routine to accomplish my plan, OR... watch endless episodes of something and do nothing. I struggle with keeping up the good work - not with motivation in itself - so I oblige myself to do at least ONE THING every day that takes me towards my final dream. Sometimes it is studying 10 hours per day, others though is just cleaning my desk, or sorting my emails, or checking flight costs, or reading one page, or rearranging my books around, or do some brainstorming while walking. Sometimes just hoovering my room is enough. What I find important is the motivation behind: remembering that I do even one small thing TOWARDS my dream > hoovering and dusting my room reminds me that I am taking care of myself, that I can sleep better tonight and tomorrow I am back on the books.
BTW, congrats of living in Italy. Benvenuto! That's my home country even if I moved to Manchester some 15 years ago -ish. Ciao!
Subscribed to be a part of your journey. Noticed you put out videos every few months. Respect to that cadence. You don’t have to burn yourself out to hit your target audience with quality videos
I’ve watched so many vids 😫😫 on this topic and this was told gold. On top of its powerful effectiveness and practical ‘do-ability’, it was comforting. Procrastination and lack of motivation, are cruelly hurtful to us. We are creative beinf and we need to do our thing. What I loved best here is twofold. The simplicity of this model means you can start it with so little effort. It is so clear and low effort. It grows motivation. Secondly, the tone and approach of this channel is soothing but powerful. Hard balance to strike, so thanks a lot. I am really indebted to you for this vid.
The visual storytelling and editing that has gone into this was SO worth it! Great video Evin!
Wohooo so grateful you figured this out, applied it and made this video. Love your way of teaching - to the point while gently guiding us through the process with a sense of care and ease.
Thank you Evin, delighted to have discovered you ❤
Can’t wait to see this channel blow up. You put a ton of effort into producing a high quality product here and I have no doubt that it will pay off. Great video!
It's like you're annotating you're life instead of a book with sticky notes.
I have watched a lot of videos about motivation, productivity, etc. and I think your video is better than 99% of them. Keep up this level of quality and you will have 1 million subscribers!
I've always struggled with the issues you talked about. I can't keep a routine to save my life & don't finish projects even when I really want to. I also have chronic health conditions that fluctuate so some days I can put a little work on a project, some days a lot, some days none. If I have to pause a project for health reasons it's difficult to motivate myself to get back on track when I am able to resume it. Or it's a struggle to remember where I left off. That's where having an outline like you described might help!
I have a similar experience. I really struggle with my sleep, so some days it's easy to work on something.. the next, I cannot. Learning to accept it, and be okay with knowing i'll struggle again in the future, is relieving. I'm trying to learn to put less pressure on myself:)
Wow 100 subs at the time of the video and now over 4k, congrats.
I think it's not needed to be said but remember we all came for the type of content you made, the quality and the pace. Keep adding on that.
And again, congratulations.
Good things take time - Quote of the video
I heard a quote recently that I think is kind of applicable to this "make small progress" concept: "You receive applause for all the hard work you put in when no one's looking."
Keep up the good work!
I love it!! thanks jake :D
This sounds like the 1% rule
Authentic, simple and (thus) powerful! I am from North Africa, and yes, I can see how big this channel is going to get in no time. Because at this day and age, people are killing for authentic and simple to get through their ao many challenges. Thanks a lot!
I have had sooo much trouble with procrastination because of the "perfectionist" side of me. I am afraid that things will suck if I actually try but your way of thinking makes a lot of sense. In recent weeks I have been thinking about the 'why' but the additional step of writing down what exactly it is that you will do, the "rough draft" that is is so helpful. Definitely trying it out!
Congratulations for this video, it is very inspiring and we can feel you're also going through the same journey trying to figure it out yourself. Very humane, and speaks to all of us.
I just came across your account and I can't wait to see your channel expand. This video's quality was amazing. It had helpful information that was relevant and kept me engaged the whole way through. This is the kind of video you'd see on an account with 500K+ subscribers and when I saw your count, I was shocked. All the best to you and I look forward to watching more of your videos. Cheers!
thank you oliver!! I'm glad it was able to be engaging
The algorithm brought me here, I actually took notes! I like the honesty and yes, it helps answering those questions and jot down thoughts. Plus, I see Conad grocery store. Happy Italian food is nurturing a good mind😊
Its one of the best Videos in this Style because Production quality is Great and you are just presenting your way and Not the one way to do it
Loved it❤ I'm glad that you, at some point, decided to make this UA-cam channel. ❤❤ We needed you here. Love you and best wishes. Thanks for the video.❤✨
I am a student and I understand the importance of discipline in one's work. However, sometimes I lack motivation and feel like there are missing steps waiting for me. It's quite discouraging. But I will try to stay consistent with my work and give it my best effort. Thank you for your advice, buddy! The concept is unique I will give it a try😊😊!
The editing and shots are so smooth and easing to watch. And this is from someone that prefers someone talking to me head on lol. This is great!
I use a similar analogy to your grocery store and video creation analogies when I’m encouraging young professionals to make a leap. I use transitioning to high school. The campus is sometimes big and scary, you don’t know what to expect and you’re certain you’ll never reach the confidence you see in the upperclassman. Without an alternative short of dropping out, you forge ahead and discover your ability to adapt has gone without notice or self recognition. You got shoved into the deep end and figured out how to swim, but after a very short time, swimming is just what you do and you forget the hardship of the transition.
Recognizing and celebrating your wins, your perseverance, can be used as encouragement to jump into deeper waters because you’ve already proven you can learn what you need to learn to be successful.
Everything is figureoutable.
This video showed up at the perfect time. I’m struggling to start something new and was journaling random thoughts about it. I immediately tried your method as you started discussing it and I can already tell this will be such a simple and effective way to help push myself just a little farther each time. Step 2 can go on and on and on for me lol but having that step 3 helps make it feel like it doesn’t have to end there.
Great choice of music. Nice length and summation.
Helpful content.
Subscribed 🎉
@7:20 I really related to that. It was also a wonderful and honest tempo change. It really set you apart from other motivational/lifestyle video.
I really love your content and so well made. I am sure you put a lot of effort in this video 💪🏻. Keep up the good work!
This is the best video ever on this topic, you convinced me to try and its so realistic too im so glad it blow up because i needed it
This video has awesome quality! Keep going bro, nice work
love your energy, so real. Woth struggles BUT smart to think how to fix it.
subscribed n liked frfr
Nice and simple ! Guess I'll give it a try!
You are very good at this - both the content and the presentation. I’m quite a bit older than you but the bit about not putting “all your pride in your work days, months or weeks away” is excellent 🎉. Some forms of creativity take years and the pressure to produce visible results is part and parcel of productivity culture. Thank you.
Great video, and really impressed with the quality! Pls keep it up!
Really like how simple the method is. I guess I'll try it out today!
I just found this video and loved it! I really liked the info as well as the visuals. Can't wait to watch your journey :)
The staircase example for gaps in experience was new to me, that helps a lot for visualizing what to overcome.
The best idea I've seen or read yet! Thank you.
well written and edited vid, man! good music choices and the color within the shots/b-rolls are amazing :)
This content is pure gold my friend, thank you for making this video ! :)
Loved the video! Can relate to everything you said in the video. Also the last lines❤️
Very nice video. Well done and in a very cool style. Happy to also see other, „new“ people putting so much work into what they do, instead of just doing a „meh“ job, just to do something…
Love this! The comment about...idk if i have adhd or just despressed....hhaha so relatable.great ideas! Thanks for sharing. I've already started on my sticky notes!
This is great having an outline to predict what can happen along the way so that you basically pick yourself back up. Also to add on cause I've learned that motivation and discipline will come and go. We're only human. So try to make whatever goal you have try to make it as clear as possible and whatever you need to do to achieve it try to make it as easy as possible so there's no way you will not do it.
Thanks Evin for sharing your system.
Years ago I managed to follow a system 90% based on routine and discipline (you still had to put some effort to keep it going).
But after changing home, getting in a routine became awfully difficult.
I'm giving your system a try 😁
"Start with the 'why' " . . .. very good.
When you described the 'rough draft', I thought of a tool called 'SIPOC' (Supplier/Input/Process/Output/Customer), or a more complete version is 'SIrPorC' (Supplier, Input, Input Requirements, Process, Output, Output Requirements, Customer). Using your Spanish example . . .
Supplier: Language Learning Provider / Input: Online Spanish Course / Requirement(s): accessible from all devices, available offline, progress tracking, intermittent rewards or gamified / Process: Access the course daily and complete at least one lesson / Output: Completed language lesson/course / Requirement: minimum 10 additional words learned per week / ability to hold basic conversations in Spanish by the end / Customer: YOU!
You can do the same for seeing a tutor and practicing each day. You can also make it just one SIPOC with multiple process steps listed.
Your thoughts?
This is somewhat interesting 🤔 first time I'm hearing this method. Thanks it helped me🤙🏻😌
I’ve studied for my Green Belt so I’m familiar with SIPOC. Adding requirements would be an improvement to the process.

Recap by Tammy AI
Keep this up, please. Great quality and innovation 🙏
dude, gotta say i love the direction on this video
I expect this does work very well as it combines 3 very well known and researched techniques.
1. Finding your WHY
2. Planning so you know roughly what to expect, especially challenges
3. Working in 20 minute chunks
loved the filming the editing the drawing the ideas you gave us ohh I'm just abscessed with this vd
Interesting, this is a pretty great system for tech projects in general too (at least solo ones). Never thought of giving it a try for my personal goals! Thank you, this is great!
I'm glad I cam across this video. Super helpful!
Great work on the shooting and editing of this video. Really liked it.
This is fantastic. I really like your first draft system. We really just need anything that will get our ideas outside of our brain somehow.
Great content mate. Best wishes on your UA-cam Journey.
good video!!! I hope you arrive to 100 k subscriber this year!!! I am hispanic and my motivation to learn english is to understand videos like this one!! congratulation!! and keep going!
Well done, man! Inspirational to smaller creators.
This is good stuff and easy and aligns with me to implement.
My favorite part was when you said you are “just some guy” 😂.
That’s great humility brother. Remain centered and humble regardless of you have 350 subs or 350k subs.
Keep up the good way of being!
Really well done video. Great editing and storyline. And solid info/advice. You'll blow up your channel in no time. Keep publishing.
Also, I now speak spanish very well as a second language. The program that made the biggest difference is Spanish with Paul. You can find him here on YT. And I also had a private tutor 2x a week. Guaranteed to work if you are serious about learning spanish.
@@CROIXsatherthanks bro I bookmarked him!
I didn't hear nothing in this video that I haven't heard before. Im glad this system is working for you. Im going to try setting my why's in front of me every morning. Regards!
I really enjoyed this! Great information, I'm gunna try it out 🙃Thank you 😊
I have reached 1k subscribers lately and I felt like I deserve more,but seeing the amount of effort you are doing either in cinemography or editing is hilarious. Nice work man
Great video, great suggestions! 👍🏾
I'm happy I found you because you're very easy to listen to.
Graet job . Continue the great work
I like the concept given here. Gonna give this a try for a few days and let's see.
Subscribed! Strong work, keep it up!
This is beautiful. Fellow young/small creator here and I can tell you’ve got it going for you.
Hello Evain! Awesome video. You have developed a very simple and effective system to help people identify and streamline goal development. The information you've provided in this video is practical and useful, and that's why people are watching it. Keep up the good work. You obviously have something important to share. One thing I would advise is that you consult a health care professional and get tested to see if you are ADHD. You express a lot of ADHD symptoms in this video. This is something I have had my whole life that went not diagnosed and misdiagnosed as depression until just recently. Like you, I developed systems to help me manage the symptoms of my condition, but I never seem to do better or feel more motivated to do better. Since my diagnosis, I have started taking medication that has helped me so much with my focus and motivation. The quality of my life has improved greatly, and I have learned that the symptoms I am experiencing are resulting from a medical condition that is happening to me not because I am an "airhead " or because I am "just stupid ". I am now 58 years old. I truly wish I had known this when I was younger. I am not saying you are ADHD, but to go get tested. If you are ADHD, with proper diagnosis and treatment, the quality of your life can improve greatly. You are already doing great things with your life. Keep up the good effort, and don't let anyone or anything keep you from reaching your full potential. ❤
I definitely think this process is a great idea. I do have another step for myself. It's kind of part of the why but it's more of a what. For instance, I want to clean my room. But what do I really want from it? What do I want it to look like? When I have that what, there will be some why's that come out but I can flesh out some more whys and then move on to the things that get in the way. I don't know that every project needs to have that extra what step but even so, it's still a bit helpful. In your Spanish idea, learn Spanish but the what could be as simple as traveling phrases to get you by or enough fluency to really get to know the people. It's slightly different than the why. I guess the why and what step is kind of an overlap that not all people would need to separate. Hope I make sense.
Awesome to see that you are taking off and look forward to what's next. I'm cool so I had to subscribe. :D
luv it man, thanks i definitely want to try it out
this is the video a need, i am in a situation in my life, where i need to do things, but i am not motivated enough. Or i solved the tasks in my head, but didnt finished them on paper.
Cool idea, might work for me. Thanks
I love the timer method! I use it for housework
this was GREAT !!!🎉 Thanks it was really helpful. I am going to try it!
Well done mate! I'm very much in same situation, this inspired me :)
Lol 😅 oh.em.gee. It’s like you described me when you described how you procrastinate..let’s try this! Thanks for this video 🙏🏽💪 by the way, my therapist gave me an ADHD assessment questionnaire, and im on there.. just thought you should know..
Hey friend. Good video! I like. My proverbial two cents: 1. I sometimes have some boring things to do for work. It's okay to leave something like YT or Spotify open. 2. I need my phone for 2FA (the boss says so), so I've learned to use focus modes. Instead of focusing on focus, I use them for categories. And then, yes, I do the boring or unsatisfying things I must do. I don't give myself rewards or keep trackers. I make the tasks small and set the timer, and usually, it turns out to be done within 2 or 3 sessions. Cool - that's reward enough for me. The main gist is that we shouldn't be confusing boring tasks (which are part of any bigger project) with having no focus.
Can't believe I'm one of the few people who are here at the beginning. The "I just got 100 subscribers" caught off guard. This is top-level content right here 👌🏻
So I tried it and it worked for me, but I did it in MS Word. Thanks so much for sharing. 🥰
thankyou so much , this video actually helped me a lot seriously all those seconds i spend on this video are worthy.
Thank you for sharing!
Finally someone actually having a point and not going around something
I love Goblin Tools for synthesizing big projects into smaller steps or summaries.
Thank you for the video and insights 😊
Thanks for the helpful suggestions/advices. Regarding to one of your last tips, I had to think about the book "Atomic Habits", which I would highly recommend to everyone!
Thanks for the good content ! :)
This was such a good video! I'm shocked you don't have more subs!
thank you bee 🥰
love it! love the raw emotions!
I love this channel 🤍 you got sub. Especially coz you like hampton.
Your mindset definitely resonates with me. I'll try this approach . This whole channel is highly underrated and underappreciated. Thank you I appreciate it.
what you said flew past me but enjoyed your calm slow voice and background music
