I'm procrastinating by watching this video.
The best time to start. Here and now. Get up and after it.
Jocko is making men again, great human
Now that he's blown his cover, do you think Jocko will carry on acting under his screen name of Buzz Lightyear?
What I learned most about procrastination is that at its core it has less to do with a lack of time management, motivation, enthusiasm, or drive, and more to do with the lack of intrinsic meaning and purpose in life. When a person forgets the deeper "why" related to what they're doing, no amount of will power or encouragment can get them going. Find that meaning of your life, the purpose...your main mission for this task, job, thing...and the rest will happen naturally, you'll be unstoppable. Return to your core meaning and purpose. Mindfulness helps with this, and for some people its religion, and another way to rediscover it is through analyzing one's fears and pains. The book 30 Days to Overcome Procrastination by Corin Devaso was a cool little mindfulness book I enjoyed, but also journaling is a power move too...write out your life mission statement, take time and think about it.
I kinda disagree. Discipline isn't about finding meaning in what you are doing. I find zero meaning in doing dishes or laundry or repairs on the house but it has to be done or everything will fall apart around you, you will fall behind and pretty quickly overwhelmed by it all. Now you can find meaning in other things in life,like things that interest you, your family. Force yourself to get started and that usually is enough momentum to get you going.
@@Rufio1975Kinda contradictory. You find zero meaning in doing laundry or dishes but do it because all will fall apart if you don't. You just gave it a meaning/purpose: keeping shit together. Building blocks.
@@BeNLaGRAiNE09 Sorry I disagree. That's just chores that have to be done. No meaning or deep purpose. It doesn't make me think. I don't derive pleasure or attain anything from it. Chores mean nothing to me. They just have to be done because I don't have a butler
Discipline is more about doing what needs to be done especially when it's something you don't want to do. But doing it anyways. Especially the things that don't have an immediate purpose or meaning where the reward is harder to see.
Thank you for this insight.Much needed for those of us who are stuck.
I almost put this into my watch later bin.
😂
Lool I did, but I was busy yesterday I swearrrr
Jocko..makes sense and it's simple..problem is if they can do it now they would have already done it yesterday. People who struggle with procrastination and laziness CAN'T START. The gap between wanting to start and starting is the bridge that needs to be built first.
My sugar coated lies recently caught up to me. I went to the dr and stepped on the scale. Wow😮😮😮 Needless to say… I immediately started my own DEF reset. Now on WW, I was super happy that I found Mulk locally. It is within my daily points, and my new ‘snack’ as I get back on track. Also doing heavy decluttering in my life. Consumerism sneaks in as comfort, and it’s hard to notice until it’s taken you over. I don’t want a debt filled life, I don’t want to pump myself with pharmaceuticals. We were meant to be better and healthier. Thanks Jocko.
Down 10 lbs in a month check ✅ Daily Mulk ✅
Donuts 🙅
What works for me is doing something to feel better just a hair and then doing just a hair of work. Pick any spot to start. Once you get even a start you will easily follow through on the rest naturally because your making progress. Starting sucks but just a little ember is all you need to make a huge flame.
I got to have discipline now
pray and fast.
God bless.
He God dam right. Don't think just do it.
Thank you Jocko for all your effort to motivate people to take ownership od their life. I've been running like mad from discipline my whole life and this time I've decided that it is enough. Last night before bed I had dishes from dinner on the counter and the old me wanted to leave it for the morning. But the little Jocko in my head screamed - stop procrasrinating and just do it. And I did it and felt awsome after. 😊
I'm getting up before my enemy, training right after waking up and I don't give up. Thank you so much for that push forward. ❤
Good job. I hear Goggins in my head all the time lol.
We're all gonna make it brahs
💪
The winning combo is GTD (Getting Things Done, by David Allen) methodology + Jocko's Extreme Ownership/Laws of Combat.
They compliment each other- Extreme Ownership is awesome but light on 'how' to track things. GTD is perfect for organizing your life, but without self-discipline...falls apart.
Combine the two and it is simply amazing. But more than that, if you are truly really lazy - which is not a bad thing as long as you are aware of it...this combo allows for laziness, essentially, it allows you to 'feel' lazy because your efficiency is always increasing.
Planners are great. The problem is holding yourself to what you're supposed to do. I'm decent at sticking to working out and keeping to a decent diet. But I struggle with errands or chores or things I'm supposed to do that aren't regular things. Like cleaning, or shopping for a car or house, or working on my resume or I could name many other things. I can put them on all the to do lists I want but a lot of the time I'll just say screw it and ignore that. Just doing it is the problem. Easy and hard at once.
Great advice... my Dad, former Sarge in the Corps, had the same mindset. I think if he were alive, he would enjoy and concur with you on many levels Jocko. I've been using a daily log for decades. I would like to incorporate your "Execute Execute Execute" into my Daily Log... where can I get your PDF file?
R.I.P Your Old Man🙏🏽🙏🏽🫡
Hey Jocko, I’m working on my procrastination issues, just wait and see.
I get up right now prayed and now going to gym
*JUST DO IT!!!*
I’ll listen to it later
No, we will listen now..😅
lol
Reminds me of The Fourth Way book and the sly man. When you try to plan, the world or devil gives you the greatest temptations and distractions to derail you because you served notice of your plan. The sly man just thinks and does at the same time.
Just sent this to every teenager on my contact list!
I never had to get motivated at work to do my job, ever! It’s when I came home that I would become a procrastinator. I would just shut off. I was the opposite at work.
Jocko for Revolutionary command.
Yes, execute! Kira and his apprentice applied that tactics pretty well in Death Note! "delete, delete, delete..."
I like to write task down too, but my problem is when I go to the university I start off well writing things down and completing task early. Then as soon as week 8 hits I get bogged down in so much task that I stop writing them and just do them as they come, and sometimes procrastinate too much because I want to do something else rather than homework. I always end up paying for it doing last minute papers but I still get good grades. 😂
Health factors are responsible for my inability to remain consistent. Unexplainable fatigue and random muscle pain causing cramps. Pressure induced anxiety causing a variety of symptoms. Random back pain and the need to rest to avoid missing work.
I AM LISTENING. I have to get healthy before I can stay consistent.
Brain fog has become normal.
Writing things down is useful and helps me focus better. I also believe that the best solution is for the TRUTH to prevail. I am so grateful for everyone who is listening and helping me through the process. BUT for once just once I need to win. That means some people in my family and community are going to lose. Winning matters.
Start by consistently eating a healthy diet then exercise regularly with walking first.
If it weren't for the "last minute", nothing would get done. 🤣
Let’s be honest Jocko doesn’t know anything about this subject because he doesn’t know how to be lazy so he’s never had to recover from that
Someone express the above in a math equation. I’m curious of the symbols to use.
I get the joke, but just for people who might have missed his point, I just wanted to say that what Jocko is saying is completely right. To say what he is saying maybe a bit more bluntly, if you want to get something done (short or longterm), the surefire way to do it is to literally force yourself. It's gonna be annoying and it's gonna hurt. But over time you will build resistance to the hurt and that is how discipline will be built. So 'just do it' doesn't work if you look at it from a rah-rah, happy vibes perspective. Really, it means force yourself, get hurt, become better, build callouses.
In order to be disciplined you have to overcome laziness. It's a constant choice that you have to make every single day. Its not like a vaccine, that you take once and you're good to go... no. Nobody is free from it. It is instinctive and enprinted in our genetics. Some people know how to overcome it more often then others, that's all...
Jocko probably had a healthy amount of discipline instilled in him in his youth and he likely has a brain that produces a very generous amount of dopamine. He might have had optimal operation weather in his life and the correct tools to cope with it. Whether or not we did, we can still take some inspiration or knowledge from him.
I would like to hear a podcast with him and a psychologist who specializes in ADHD, Autism, PTSD and other neurodivergent issues discuss how his advice and perspectives might differ in some individuals with different brain chemistries. Sometimes you don't have enough dopamine or have sensory issues to overcome on top of your typical human laziness...those scenarios might need modified advice. Some advice isn't for everyone.
To anyone who isn't feeling productive enough today.... Don't be too hard on yourself or beat yourself up like you're a buff Jocko, cuz you might not be Jocko. Are you the kind of person who could thrive in boot camp and train with Navy Seals? Not everyone can. There are things Jocko isn't great at, I'm sure. We really aren't all built the same. You're you. Maybe that and a little inspiration is all you're meant to take from him today. Just be the best you that you can manage and know tomorrow is a new day.
😂 he said it's daily moment to moment wrestling 🤼♂️ with it. An wining the tasks doing it now. Def Rest 00:00🎉❤
He mentioned the planner in pdf form. Does anyone have a link for the digital version of the planner?
Ditto
🔴🔵⚪Willink 2024⚪🔵🔴
Link to the pdf please?
Yes please
Where do you find the PDF? I'm only seeing the sold out book
Please! l Need that pdf. I looked on the site. I did not find it. Is your book on Audiobooks? What is it's title?
Never make the perfect the enemy of the good.
It just takes a tiny ember to become a roaring flame.
Jocco what is your advice for the perfect level of readiness VS relaxation when dealing with R&R how does one manage to not be a slave to discipline while enjoying R&R with friends family and loved ones while not mitigating discipline or readiness while seeking to relax and restore your mind and body?
There is no 'relax'.
@@stanleythompson3848 great advice, also not an answer to my question.
Where can we find the PDF
How can I love this more? 😂
Ill watch this later
So excited to here how he overcame mental/emotional/physical abuse from people you were supposed to trust and were financially dependent on until 17...waiting
Step 1: Get up
I’ll watch this one later
Can someone recommend an actual podcast about getting things done and stopping procrastination?
HealthyGamerGG has some useful advice and in-depth mental health content if you're deep in trouble with it. For actually getting things done, this exact video.
Maybe Andrew Huberman. Agree that it's not as simple as "checklist."
"I'm having trouble with procrastination, so I'd like to find a podcast to pass the time while I avoid doing the thing."
Jocko when are you going to do pod cast on your own with out echo??
Why would he do that?
I'll watch this later...
Where do you get the pdf version of the planner?
🔥
I can’t find said planner
❤
Check...

Don’t Execute Frequently… I.e. procrastinate; leave things for later.

Shaving? A collection of organized crime is handling you to create a loop for the purposes of covering up a racketeering operation they ran on me to get my house from me.
Do you work for this guy? No!
Does he pay you? No!
Don't you have the same 24hrs like this guy everyday? I do.
What's his problem? I don't know, he wasn't at my funeral or wedding and he has working capable hands and a mind.
What did they do all of last year? This year? Well, they did nothing for me. If that is what you are wondering.
