➤➤Transcript (Partial):
Do you have any practical advice on how I can improve my ability to concentrate and pay attention to the world around me? Often the devil's in the details, you know? But, some practical advice is, well, regulate your habits. Try to get up at approximately the same time each morning. I would recommend that you get up approximately when other people get up. So that would be something in the neighborhood of 7:30 or 8 in the morning. Or perhaps earlier or perhaps a little bit later but you want to stabilize that because your circadian rhythms operate more fluidly and your mood is likely to be regulated better if there's islands of stability in your daily routines. Human beings like daily routines just like dogs like daily routines, and so, regulate your sleep. I would say when you get up in the morning, eat breakfast. That's a really important thing to do. I can't tell you how many people I've treated in my clinical practice whose proclivity for emotional instability and depression, anxiety, general hopelessness, emotional pain and gloom and doom, as well as capacity to concentrate, were properly regulated or inhibited or reduced by merely ensuring that they ate a-I would say-a protein and fat rich breakfast, relatively soon after they wake up, and that's especially true if they're stressed. And, as it turns out, that if you stress yourself after a fast, which is of course what you've undertaken if you haven't eaten since the night before, that your body produces enough insulin to deplete the sugar in your blood, and then it's very difficult for you to become regulated properly with regards to your metabolism until you sleep again. And so, regulating your sleep and your breakfast eating habits, in particular, can be a very effective way of regulating your mood and increasing your capacity to concentrate. The other thing I would say is that spending some time scheduling your time is also extraordinarily useful. And so I can tell you a little bit about how to use schedules effectively. So, the first thing I would say is that you should develop a long term plan. You have to set up your vision, like Geppetto when he's looking at the star before Pinocchio's transformation takes place. You have to set up your long term vision-to have some vision of the good towards which you're working, and some vision, perhaps, of the hell that you're avoiding. And then I would say once you set up that vision so that you know how to orient yourself, then you should start designing your days and you can do that very effectively with a calendar like Google Calendar. Many people say well I-I hate using a schedule. Or-I hate using a calendar. And what I would say about that is-is that if you hate using a schedule or a calendar, then you’re probably using it wrong. What you’re doing is using the calendar as an external tyrant...

Cool video, here's my *summary:*
• Regulate/stabilize your habits to regulate your concentration ability
○ Get up at approx. the same time each morning (similar to other people)
○ Eat a protein & fat rich breakfast soon after waking up
○ Schedule your time systematically
1. Start with a vision (positive & negative)
2. Break it down into habits
3. Design your days: Block time in your calendar for those habits
□ Tip: see the calender as a friend, not as an external tyrant
○ Train yourself with micro habits
- Incremental improvement pays off like compound interest
□ Direction is more important than the starting point or current position
- The respective habit needs to be aligned with your concentration goals
□ e. g. if you want to be able to read w/o being distracted, try reading 10 (-> 12 -> …) minutes/day without being distracted
□ Goal should be challenging enough for growth, but not so hard you're sure to fail
Jordan Belfort - thanks so much for these awesome notes! Appreciate you taking the time. Take good care - Paige
Thank you for the notes, Jordan!
Thanks a lot for your notes bro! Really appreciate it :D
" (similar to other people)" what does that mean?
@@JoshuaChaves16 It means get up around the same time most other people get up, so around 7:30 or 8 in the morning.
watching this instead of being focused
My god, such incredible fluency and clarity of thought. Every sentence he speaks is like a dictum of philosophy
INSPIRATIONAL .
I just cleaned my room
sorted myself out
grew up
I am now a better lobster!
Good job!
@Salt 🤣🤣
Hahaha
It’s 1am here in Australia, and I can’t sleep, so I’m listening to Jordon again, as I’m a big fan.
What he said about using a calendar, in a way, that is not as a tyrant, was brilliant, I thought.
For me, this is what I needed, from a personal prospective, as I’ve never heard it put this way before, thank you Jordan.
That’s crazy it’s 1am in Australia for me too, I can’t sleep so I’m listening to Jordan. This is what I needed
Hope you can now sleep :)
i've had adhd my entire life, and i've learned a few tricks that have helped me. specifically with his reading example, i'd say start by reading aloud, and if that doesn't work, perform it. really--act it out. it can be to an imaginary audience or a real someone with a lot of patience (lol) but when you're engaging with more than just words, i've found it to be incredibly helpful to reach a level of stimulation that really dials you in. i'm also an actor so i'm not sure if this will work for everyone, particularly individuals who struggle with performance anxiety, but it might be worth a shot if you're challenged by this. good luck yall 🙌
thanks Kevin that was good
I've been scheduling my days a lot recently and must say the effect it has had has been profound. On following the schedule I keep busy, but it was actually on reviewing what I've done that I've been amazed by how much it has benefited me
Love how you can ask Jordan anything and you get such a well thought out answer within seconds.
Wonderful, life changing advice. Get well soon Dr Peterson. You are a treasure.
OH! my heart skipped a beat when I saw this in my email, am so glad you are back with us... I cried. Not meant to be a burden, but we need you, the world needs you. (is it too early to say it's about bloody well time? )
Time management. The smallest and most powerful stepping stone to success.
Some people don't see it, therefore they unknowingly overlook it.
Others see it as so small that they doubt how effective it is because they want immediate results.
Until I watched this video, I've never realised just how much CONCENTRATION AND FOCUS needs DILIGENCE AND PERSEVERANCE. Stay on your grind.
Direction is much more important than starting point 🔥🔥🔥
This hit me different 👍🏻
I love the way he teaches and explains what he knows. Can we clone him??!!?? He really hits home with a lot of us, rather blunt but caring and very in touch with our reality. thank you Dr. Jordan!
Every word you say is so powerful and so inspiring! Thanks so much for all your guidance. May each day be filled with blessings and much love to continue such a wonderful mission: help the world to be better. Take care. I love you.
JP is so smart and I love the advice he brings forward. Thanks for sharing!
I had a friend enlighten me on his method of scheduling days and weeks.
Using Outlook calendar, as mentioned in this video, amplified my routine immensely.
Can definitely recommend using an email-based calendar that sends alerts throughout the day.
Shape the day *you* want, however, don't judge yourself too harshly if you slip up.
One step at a time!
I wish I had known about him & his videos, books, earlier
My HERO. Such wisdom.💙💙💙
You're a god given gift to humanity, Dr Peterson. Please come back soon to share more of wisdom.
This man is just amazing. Motivation is his second name I would say.

The day that you would like to have.
That little piece of advice just saved me a lot of thinking, probably a few months worth before I would have came to that conclusion.
I’m gonna re write my schedule first thing in the morning.
Thank you again Jordan!

He's good, also look at Tony Robins
Praying for you professor Peterson
Word FROM the wise...I love these videos.
Thanks for sharing
It's very helpful to start the day with a prayer, being thankful for the new day - it is not guaranteed to everyone and for the new oppertunity to make it better as yesterday and ask Him to be on your side throughout you day ....
God isn't on anyone's side but his own.
“…trajectory is more important than the starting point…” A very useful tip. I get from this that once momentum (in the right direction) is acquired on toward your goal, the starting point is not that much important but as a marker that reflect whether one made progress.
By extension, there would be successive starting points like roadside markers along the way. Neat.
Exactly, as most storytellers will tell you, it's not about the beginning or the end, it's about the journey. Positive Momentum is a great feeling, like you said, roadside markers. You're driving and see a sign that says 80 Km, then you keep driving, now it's 60 Km, then you keep driving, then it's just 20 Km. That's a good feeling, and you don't want to let your foot off the pedal because you see the progress. Your momentum builds incrementally, but it also builds a blueprint in your head on how to progress in certain tasks or build consistent stabilization of activities down the road. In other words, you build progressive habits.
This video really helped make my day!
Such wise and informative advice and tips!
@Psychonaut explain
I love this man I hope he gets better
Thank you.
Wanna increase your focus during your studies?
Here are some things that you can do:
1. Turn off your phone at the time of studying.
2. Make sure to work in a quiet environment.
3. Don't watch these types of videos when you sit down to study. instead, watch them in your free time.
4. Take notes.
5. Hold yourself accountable.
It's worth it! 🤓The tone.☺️
Some really important set of advice
Love your work jp🙏🏽
Thank you
Back in the ring let’s go! 🏋️♀️ A Phoenix transformation even.... relatively
Thank you!
Thank you!!!!
incremental growth is compound interest - AMAZING
Pure Gold
Amazing as always
This is the best advice i have ever came across with, thanks JP you're a true intellectual
1. regulate your habits( wake up at approximately the same hour every day)
2. don't skip breakfast( have it with protein and fats)
3. schedule your day in a manner that you would like to have
develop long term goals of positive and negative(one that you want to avoid)
adapt smaller responsibilities which are part of a bigger goal
4. define concentration( know the constituents of concentration) and train yourself with smaller habits incrementally
don't forget that the trajectory on which you're on is more important than the starting point
Amazing man with a fantastic brain
Amazing video
thanks
Churr Bro thank you appreciate your views and information of vable moements
Wow, life changing
Getting LAZER FOCUSSED is super important, get very detailed about you want and only focus on that. This is the surest way to succeed.
Anyone disagree?
Thanks
this guy is a super hero
Thanks ⭐
The only thing that I want to say thanks to the madr this video
We need more of these
Little tip as a viewer if it ends up helping in the future: put an image in the thumbnail at a very low opacity way in the background based on the topic to differentiate each videos thumbnail. So like the dragon one for some reason my brain has always assumed a little dragon was in the background of the sky. For this one there could be an open book way in the background behind Jordan etc. Hope it gives you some ideas! If not they look great anyway
This is amazing advice.

Meditation was a HUGE one for me :)
Incremental improvement pays off like compound interest. wow
Scheduling activities 🔑
He should open The University of LIFE cause I'll be his student for rest of my life 😌
This guy is special
I really like this theme of videos where it would originally be just J.P speaking to a camera. Instead it’s flooded with relevant and well picked visuals to help interpret what’s being said 👌🏼class
You're the best
into the core.
LOVE FROM SWEDEN ,, 😍❤😍❤😍❤😍❤
to concentrate more I sat to myself a stable schedule to get a proper sleep , building a wall that keeps you away from the stress was helpful and don't be discouraged by saying that you can't concentrate just be optimistic and set a balance between life and work,study
The trajectory you're on is important than your starting point... Wonderful..💓
Meditation also helps a lot.
Can agree on all points beside breakfast, i am way more focused if i am fasted.
You at least need one person in your life to make you realize that you actually know nothing about world. Thanks to the channel.
Omg I love you
I spaced out while watching this.
Wow. Not one mention of meditation. Goes to show how being a rebel always makes you lose sight off what works.
I have STPD. Chronic problems with attention. Before I started meditating two hours a day. Now all the rest follows. As i am now in control of my thoughts. I notice them instead of being them.
Incredible .
Let's start now 😅 btw i alredy started thanks to Gosh !!
Can you please make a video about overthinking
Jordan Peterson is God's gift to humanity. He is such a great role model and is just such an amazing human being.
He's basically indirectly saying read "Atomic Habits" by James Clear :)
hi mr. peterson , dr. burg says that eating breakfast isn,t necessary, can you two do a videoed meeting, interview, on both of science or point views, put forwards?
Avoid coffee! Coffee doesn't make you productive, it just makes you agitated. Avoid excess sugar because it makes you confused.
Deep concentration allowed me to formulate an effective argument against the fact that I have many voices in my head. Not an inference, an identifiable conclusion - there is but one voice, with multiple personalities. We're hoping the verdict sends a clear message - the jury's still out.
Any update? I feel I'm in the same boat
🖤
One tries to improve focus and concetration by watching this video, but lacks the focus and concentration to watch it
Well, I got the reading part covered pretty good. Not the scheduling though haha
Benjamin Franklin had the same problem. Then he decided to improve on 12 areas of his life yearly. I did it for years in Sales and Management and nobody ever came close to me. You could spend your first month on becoming an ace scheduler? That's a whole month to master a simple habit. Like you, i was just reading one day and came across this astoundingly effective advice. A whole month, right?
