- If you want to try Jordan's daily routine for yourself (or just check it out in one easy-to-read document), it's available for free here: benstevenson.gumroad.com/l/jo...
Here’s Jordan Peterson’s (intense) daily routine to become more productive, more intelligent, beat anxiety, and lose weight. You’ll also find the best of Jordan's advice sprinkled throughout the video via clips of him speaking.
I’ll walk through EVERY part of Jordan Peterson’s daily routine and show you which were most helpful to me and why. I’ll also give a completely honest breakdown of how it went and what lessons I learned from the week.
Jordan B. Peterson is a well-known podcaster, author, and professor. he’s appeared on podcasts like the Joe Rogan Experience, The Tim Ferris Show, Chris Williamson (Modern Wisdom), Theo Von, and many, many more. He also has his own podcast, the Jordan B. Peterson Show.
He’s helped many people, especially young men, find meaning, motivation, and purpose in their lives through struggle and hard work. He regularly speaks on the value of cleaning your room, making a schedule, becoming tougher, learning from the bible, and standing up for yourself.

Good work Ben. Keep it up.
Can’t wait to see the expression on Ben’s face once he wakes up to this comment
Thank you Jordan for opening me up to the legitimacy of religion and the consequences of atheist thought.
I’m still not convinced of god but I’m miles away from that religion hating, Hitchens worshipping kid thanks to you
Have a great day and thank you for your courageous work
Mr. Peterson, thank you for all the advice. They are a blessing, and I would love to one day visit one of your presentations to thank you in person. I hope you and your family are doing great.
This comment right here, is not only inspiring for Ben, but for all of us, who are trying to improve our lives. Thank you Dr. Peterson !
And great work Ben, this is absolutely brilliant, very inspiring !
Still, won't save the West and everything will come crashing down!

I am certain when Peterson says work 14h/d, this does not mean “at a computer”. Peterson’s work includes thinking, talking, preparing, connecting, and I’m sure your work can also be more varied than just at the machine.
He 100% meant it that way
when he says work what does that even mean? Work towards what? like eh

@@Romo2055 Now comes my question. Actually I have also watched another video discussing a separate topic (about psychological manipulation tactics employed by predators/sociopaths) and someone also said to practice writing in order to build that mental fortitude/resilience or sharpness. So writing for 30 minutes every day and Peterson himself advocates this but write what exactly? Short stories, fanfiction, novels, research papers, review articles, journaling, essays, short essays. Which one?
"Clean your room" sounds so banal, but it's actually incredibly powerful and transformative once you embrace the whole mindset behind that statement.
I struggled a lot with life's bigger problems, until I realized that it was actually my neglect of small everyday things that was holding me back. Making my bed every morning and seeing to it that my house is in order (in a literal sense) has helped me stave off the chaos in my mind and given me the energy and focus to tackle the bigger issues!
Jesus Christ. That's Jason Bourne
oh look at me I say "banal"!!!
@@newuser8462 Look at me i get triggered because i usually use the clean your room referance from JP as a way to show how stupid he is but when i read or hear the symbolic meaning i refuse to understand it

It's very rare that a hyper-successful individual shares the secrets to his/her success. I mean, most of the ones who are being asked will just answer "work hard" or something like that. Jordan actually breaks down what he needed to do to get where he is now and that is so valuable.
He can share everything to the T and only a fraction off people will do it🤷🏽♀️
It's lot really rare. Many share it. I wished all would behave like this, so would I not share?
Whoa!!!! JP actually commented on this...
They learn no one gives a fk.
That's because there is no secret, it comes down to luck in genetics (personality, IQ, other advantageous traits), environment you grew up in (parents, teachers, friends, country, culture, etc...) also even the date you are born can contribute to your success in life. Most of these you have no control over and are the main driving force behind everything you do.
I'm a Jordan Peterson fan and you did a great job summing up his day! Excellent content and great editing skills! You're going to the top, Ben!
For people looking for tips, the key is to make blocks and follow the blocks based on your situation. Take a small break after each block. Once you start scheduling you're going to mess up a ton. Don't stop trying every single day to do it as close as you can. Also, eating a breakfast of protein/fat, waking up at the same time 7 days a week, exercising and meditation are very helpful and end up making the blocks even easier.
Don't be discouraged when you mess it up. It's very, very, very hard especially when the blocks are not externally monitored (like school, a job, etc.). I run a small business on my own and so there's no one who is checking in on my progress or status. This has been far more challenging than college classes, college sports or anything else I've done. You can't improve much day over day but over six months you can really make a huge change.
Same my friend beingbself employed and disciplined takes grit and not being so hard on yourself
Fully agree - it's really, really hard to stick to a schedule when you're setting your own deadlines. But I will keep trying, and figuring out a system that works for me. I know it's not going to work overnight. Oh and oats, berries and seeds is a great breakfast for me, nothing wrong with whole carbs 🙂
It's sooo much harder than I ever anticipated. It's truly the life embodiment of "what's important is what you do when no one is looking"
@JagdisH乛FTL I run a financial services business, specifically a mortgage brokerage. I currently gross a little over $15k per month at the moment but hoping to have that closer to $30k by end of year. I was not even remotely capable of doing this a few years ago. It is all about developing personal discipline. A lot of people cheat and use something like adderall to gain instant discipline, I did this in college, but it does not solve the actual problem and creates a list of problems on its own. I regret my usage of adderall and wish I had been of this mindset during my freshman year of college but alas I did not have the awareness I do now and the liberal arts school I attended completely and utterly failed to give me the tools and guidance I needed
There is nothing more critical than developing personal discipline, character, virtue and responsibility. I don't care what field you are in; these are critical components to leading a successful life.
@JagdisH乛FTL hey, thats fine man. All you can do is improve now. You'll get it done eventually if you stick with it - but its going to take years. However, each time you develop some new discipline or skill, it is as if you just defeated an enemy and now must destroy an even larger enemy. Viewed in these terms, you must be the hero, who was a deeply flawed individual, who is on the path of redemption destroying all demons in your path - the hero is a hero because of their commitment to virtue, discipline and character despite the odds.
Hey Ben! I liked the whole concept of having a daily challenge attached w the routine, pushes you to have a wrapper focus on the overall day… and the quality of the vid is phenomenal. As a guy striving for greatness in life, this made me wanna try this routine… hoping to see more such videos from ya, keep em coming champ 🚀
Loved this video! So cool that you did his daily routine, but also that you came up with the daily challenges and explained them as well! And great video editing too! 😍
Hey brother, I rarely comment on things but I wanted to reenforce that this is great content and you will definitely continue impacting others meaningfully if you keep it up. Thanks for taking the time to do a great job 👏🏽
the most significant i see in this video is that you are doing something that most ancient savy and life coaches preach, that is to take a mentor and follow it, besides your great video of course; nice work man! keep it up
So good. Many things I do I don’t consider work… Bible study, prayer, Pilates, writing (I’m a writer but it’s a joy to be creative) cooking, guitar practice…cleaning my room/house 😂 Thanks Ben! This helped me realize i do more than I think.
This is so helpful Ben. Thank you so much for taking the time to break this down, and nice work on putting in the time for yourself.
Loved the visuals of this video, jump cuts etc made it super interesting and I couldn’t pull myself away. I actually started listening to 12 rules for life today by JP. What a coincidence…
It’s cool seeing Petersons ideas realised in others. Great job!
Being purposeful with our time is a great point. I find it better to take a nap during my free time than doing something useless for the sake of using up that free time. Even staring out a window is beneficial to my progress because my mind sort of resets and I regain a natural inspiration to continue doing important things during the day, or I regain clarity on what I need to feel happier
Wow, the eloquence you have and the quality of production you provide as well as your commitment really surprised me for a channel this small. Great work man. Thoroughly enjoyed the video and learned some things as well. Thank you.
You got a real talent for doing presentations! I enjoyed it and now I feel like tackling a task I want to do today.

Nice to see this schedule works well for others new to it. Its very inspiring to see other guys implement it and find productive satisfaction since it is something I'm only easing myself into.
Also it was oddly funny watching you mark yourself at the end with school grades tho. Wish I could do that all the time for assignments!
Ben, way to be intentional in a world full of passivity. It’s easier to talk about things than to actually “do” them. Way to go! Inspiring.
This video is so enlightening. Seeing a "normal" everyday person live similarly to someone like Jordan Peterson inspires me to do so in small ways each day!
Bro I’m so glad to see your video, I’m 26 still studying in Uni, im studying abroad and living by myself, many of the time I feel like it’s so lonely to practice and study Dr. Peterson and other trustworthy intellectuals out there. By watching your video feels like watching a friend sharing the same goal and excitement in life, gives me a lot of motivation and the feeling of involvement😁 Great video, enjoyed it and am ready for another good day 💪
Thank you for the time you put into this. The doing, explaining, editing,. Excellent.
Great video! I am a girl and I don’t know about 14 hours of work either, but you made me want to give this whole idea a try! I think I can relate to respecting yourself more if you work/occupy your time with growth.
This is great, thank you so much Ben for showing your journey. Very inspiring :)
Really liked your production. It was very receiveable!
loved every minute of it, so professional! the presentation was wonderful and really helped me in much ways. for the first time ever i watched a youtube video and took notes with it. much love!
Glad you found so much value in it!
Split schedule in 3 from Sunday to thursday, 8 hours mastering a craft 8 hours serving family/ community and 8 hours of rest/ relaxation/ self car(praying reading thinking and writing and sleeping and exercising). from Friday to Saturday focus on family time and resting and feasting from the labor that was done through out the week.
Thanks, I like the advice from our internet dad but I enjoyed watching someone work out the challenges. It has inspired me. I’ve been wanting to do his self authorizing program and you are helping me be brave. Thanks.
Great video. This is the first I’ve seen of this concept. A creator taking a catalogue of inspiration from a broad field of someone inspiring’s work and then emulating that.
Been dressing up for University for about 3 years by now. It makes you look serious, approachable and respectful and it helps you to identify with that. It’s great advice.
I Must say: for the amount of subscribers you have, this is a VERY HIGH QUALITY VIDEO. Congrats, I really enjoyed whatching it. Keep the work ↑, because in a few months you could really reach higher and higher success 💪🏻
I don't comment often, but I felt obligated. I actually laughed out loud at the "learning to write" section. Thank you for that!
This is a beautiful video. Seeing you so dedicated to this and ultimately benefitting so much from it was humbling. I am super inspired by this.
Awesome video man! Really instructive. Just one note, as other people have already mentioned, its not 14 hrs of computer work, its 14 purposeful hrs, working out, spending quality time with people and creating new connections can all count toward those hrs
Jordan Peterson has inspired me to change my life in many ways. Love to see you attempting his daily routine. It helped remind me of some ideas I need to reimplement in my life. Great video and storytelling!
Very good idea and video. I’m glad that we have someone like J.B Peterson in our times.
This is exactly what I needed atm. And wanted at the same time. Thank you so much for the video!!
30 seconds into the video and I subscribed immediately. So much work and effort have put into this video, wow! Can't wait to watch till the end of the video and learn along with you but I already want to say thank you and well done! 👏
same here! :)
Really motivating and inspirational. As a 32yo, I started my journey from a "Peter Pan" to a student of life a few years ago. I will do a week of this.
Bravo! You have a bright future if you keep this up.
Cheers man. I am in a similar boat
Dijiste bravo, hablas español?
@@flavio6981 Bravo is used in quite a few languages. Sorry, I don't speak spanish.
Awesome video, I had a rough year at university because I was lazy, a horrible thing which leaks to other parts of your life pretty rapidly... I came back to j.p. material this summer and found a summer job while also hitting the gym and getting ready for my fall exams. Thank you for creating this video because I will actually try and apply it for not a week but this summer and see what happens. Keep up the good work :)
How are you? Have you achieved your goals?
.
JP is the man and this is such a high quality video! Keep it up
Great video Ben! Glad I found your channel. You have great content just keep it up. Your other videos are just as great hope you get the recognition you deserve.
Thanks, I really appreciate that
I am a elementary school teacher and I preach writing in full sentences, texts etc. We know that writing and thinking benefits each other. So I cannot wrap my mind around it why we allow children to just cross out answers on test and fill in blanks instead of have them writing. I make my classes describe how and why they approached their art work, their math problem... parents fight me on this quite often, because it takes time and effort.
As a school teacher myself, I say "bless you." 🙂 It is far, far easier to NOT do what you are doing. Keep it up! Your students will thank you later.
Because all these laziness is consciously induced by the authorities as they need only idiots as future citizens
When I was a young student, multiple choice tests were my favorite. Easy to pick out the right answer, usually, if I had half a clue about the material. As I got older, I discovered that essay tests became my favorite, because I could show the teacher what I was thinking and why, and not just depending on a lucky guess at "C" to be correct. Keep on urging those kids to actively think and write out their answers, it will benefit them every day in later life!
Is so great to see young people following the advice that will better their lives. That gives me faith and hope in our future generations. 🙏🏾
Excellent video, went through the checklist myself! Love Jordan Peterson and I always appreciate listening, learning and gaining new perspective-Thank you! 🙂
Fantastic video that I will be sharing with people I care about. Keep on Ben, this was awesome.
I love reading Carl Jung's books. My first exposure to his writing was The Black Books. After that I read many of his books. I find his books to be very interesting and engaging. The way he writes or speaks is so compassionate. I can't explain how much I enjoyed/enjoy reading his books.
How much did you enjoy his books?
Thanks ben, this inspired me a lot and I really enjoyed the whole video.
😊
This is actually the best breakdown I’ve ever seen of Jordan Peterson’s life philosophy and I’ve been following him throughout his entire online presence! Thank you Ben so grateful 🎉🎊🎉🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I love Jordan peterson, and i have watched a lot of these self help videos, but this is really an amazing video! You did such a good job if explaining the motivation of why Jordan Peterson does what the does and how it worked for you! Thank you for this!
Good job, Ben. I sincerely wish I had had all this advice and Community when I was much younger, but I am also challenging myself to follow Peterson’s advice to “get your own life in perfect order before you criticize the world”. Better late than never. But trust me, you’ll thank yourself if you work on these things and get them deeply into your system now before you have a family to raise and be an example to.
I ❤️ JP!!🌻 he's helped me realize my potential and helped me get my life back on track.. Great video!! I feel like challenging myself n may try this n possibly vlog it 🤷♀️
Awesome job of putting your experience and helpful information together in a way that is visually engaging and flows well… A+ for this video! 🤓
This video is amazing guy, One of the best i've seen in a while.
Yo this was so well done. I thought you were a way bigger channel! Subbed
😊😊
Interesting. I'm not that much of a goal oriented person, but for two weeks I was programming my application like this:
-few minutes light exercise
-work until I get hungry
-breakfast
repeat:
(-work until I feel stuck
-walk outside/lay on the bed/eat/talk to someone)
-2 LoL matches with my friends
-boring work until I get sleepy
Pure work was 10-14 hours. It's not bad if I can keep my motivation. We're different people, so the same daily routine can't work for all of us. But maybe I can use some of these tricks you mentioned.
Honestly, I have always been the opposite of this... procrastinating until I'm out of time.
Incredible video. Amazing to see the impact Jordan has on so many people including myself! Difference between agreeing with his words and actually putting them into action. Thanks for sharing Ben!
Great Video! So glad yt recommended this
I'm going to try this soon! Huuuuuge JP fan! I think 14 hours of work for me would be better defined as working towards my goals in the 3 or so departments of life where I have big goals to achieve
Love it
@@Ben.Stevenson exactly! Each job/hour of work, is a step towards your goals. I have always worked 12-16 hours and have been hyper successful but also get burned out on subjects quicker. JP advice helps calm & control the pace. When getting into Law this made sense to me.
Cleaning my room as I hear this 👊
One step closer to ascending the dominance hierarchy 👊
You are finally getting the attention you have been working for bro. Keep up the G work
🙏🏼🙏🏼
I haven't been impressed with a youtube channel in a long time, congratulations your content is very helpful 👏🧠
I’m a 32 yo, been really struggling lately with my motivation and procrastination. Definitely going to give this week a shot. I know I’ve got it in me to work hard and be productive with my time but I feel my shadow has been taking the forefront for the last few months
I believe in you 😇🙏
Courage ;)
Hey man I would love to see an update on that
This "I must be productive" is shadow talking.
I'm 31. Have ptsd, autism, adhd, anxiety and depression. I have the same health issues like jps daughter. How do I motivate myself? It never comes. I just sadly force myself daily.
Thanks for this! I’m going to try and live according this schedule for the next week! But I’ll be counting 7hours daily as a massive achievement!
Thank you for sharing this! I have been following Mr. Jordan Peterson for a while and always appreciate his straight forward outlook on life and excellent advice. Your video helped in giving me a more detailed schedule to follow. Thank you both for all you do! Blessings to all in love and light!🙏🏼💜🙏🏼💙🙏🏼💛🙏🏼🧡🙏🏼💚🙏🏼
Really great work on the video. 💯💯💯
Thank you Ben, this video made me feel deeply encouraged.
The idea of being en tout "purposeful with your time" and implement challenges on a structured foundation is a great and helpful concept for me to focus on. Thanks for presenting. 🦋🙌🏿
Thank you for this video!🤗
It came up on my FYP and it was truly motivating. 5 min in I went grabbed my journal for the first time in like 2 months. Now I do still have the rest of the vid to go so let’s hope I actually stop to write when I finish before my ADHD has time to strike 🤣.
I do follow JP but I also find it very hard to listen to him bc of his fast speech, I guess it sorta makes me feel kinda anxious in a way like I have to rush to make notes, or continuously pause & rewind so a 20 min video might take me maybe an hour to follow. Your break down is super easy to follow, you nail the important aspects getting straight to the point, & You’ve been able to keep my attention which isn’t always an easy task so when I find ppl who can I make sure to 👍,✍️ & SUB. Thanks again 🤗
This is so me
I think a really good and rare trait you have is the willingness to buckle down and actually do this stuff, so good job and I wish you well!
Great video!!! You have a very clear way of communicating your thoughts and experiences! If you write a book, I would love to read it! I'm a big fan of Peterson as well and appreciate the thoughtfulness he puts into his ideas and daily living. Again, great video!
Hi Ben, great job! I love your dedication and grit. May I give you a bit of constructive criticism? When making your bed, or doing anything for that matter, do it as well as you possibly can. This will help you to raise your standards and thus have an even better quality life. You're inspiring to many, keep it up!
Okay…so, I have a question about this. Should you focus on doing the task the best that you can or stick to the schedule and getting tasks done but not to perfection!? This is truly my biggest hangup with routines!!
@@Deelitee I believe getting the tasks done but nothing to perfection and save that energy for the things you value most.
@@Deelitee U gonna give 100% or not. It depends on the individual n what standards they place on themselves. If ya wanna half ass it for the sake of sticking to a schedule then sure go for it
@@Deelitee Here is my view, first of all your day will usually never be 100% your schedule because there needs to be a balance between order and chaos unless you implement some chaos to your schedule so there is a balance, lets put it this way: You should make a schedule which you can fully carry out. Jordan talked about this. He said that you can't be a tyrant and a slave of yourself but rather negotiate with yourself. To implememt this on your question: You should sometimes perfectly make your bed and not perfectly follow your schedule and vice versa. You can't do everything that you do 100% perfectly *and* do everything that can fit in a day it's neither pleasant nor doable, you should negotiate with yourself, find a balance and as he says a lot Do whats most important. On the final note: If you can't finish your meal because you scheduled showering sooner than you can manage, eat fully and shower a little quicker, but if you are going to be late to your date because you spent half an hour making your bed perfectly you arent on the right tracks either. Give everything you do a 100%, you need to focus on the task at hand and negotiate with yourself if this task or the next on on your schedule is more important and make a compromise.
@@TheAdhdGardener it’s not really about standards of the task I guess. More standards of life. Forest for the trees I guess.
Nice production value
I really enjoy how this video was put together and the content of it. Subscribed.
Great video and production quality! I especially liked when you shared reflections throughout - keep it up! But also find time for yourself :)
Really motivational! Thanks for making this video! I would give you an A+ for the video 🤩 How long did you spend working solidly between breaks and how long were your breaks? Why did you give yourself a C+ for this? Was your main goal to get more done or to achieve a higher level in some activity?
Thanks! I would often go 3-4 hours working in the morning, then fell off a bit in the evenings and would often only work 1 hour or so. When I took break they tended to be about 15m, but I didn't take a whole lot of them.
The main goal was to get more done, but I also tried to be very focused in order to achieve a higher level in what I was working on.
@@Ben.Stevenson Lovely work!
Wow. You have motivated me! Keep on making these! Thanks.
This was an amazing watch! Thank you!
I actually wanted to try something like this that would get me to do my chores more efficiently, although 14h of work a day it's a lot .. I think I will lower it to 8 or 10 maximum because that's all I need really... I'll see how it plays out, really cool video
Have a baby, then it will be a 20hr work day. Lol 😆
It's all about baby steps; no need to jump to 14h a day right away, it's very very hard. Best of luck on your journey
@@Ben.Stevenson
Thank you I've been doing good 😊
Esse vídeo com certeza me deu muita força pra que eu continue dando meu melhor, aprender a articular as ideias, escrevendo e praticando realmente é algo crucial como uma habilidade. Ótimo vídeo !!!
Fantastic video, beautifully put together and delivered. Instant subscriber here!
He is a brilliant man…..I love hearing his insights and so greatly respect how deeply cares for humanity. I just heard about the self authoring program the other day and at 57…..I wish I would’ve done it when I was young…..but apparently now is the time!
This has nothing to do with the video but i couldn't afford rent 2 years ago, now i can. Couldn't buy a tesla a year ago now i have both a tesla car and lots of tesla stock, my point is building wealth is in your mindset, work on that and your financial potentials becomes exponential, develop good habits like avoiding debt, cutting costs and regularly putting money away in intervals for investments .The stock market has plenty of opportunities to earn..I was able to grow to 7 figures on a diverse portfolio strategy spread across bluechips, top etfs and coins. my broker James Fletcher Brennan, handles all my investments and ensures I stay above the market
I also think that we salary earners need to realize that monthly income will not make you rich.
I did read about James Fletcher Brennan on the web., quite a great resume he has
Financial management is a crucial topic that most tend to shy away from, and ends up haunting them in the near future.
Did a quick web search, he has a pretty decent bio, I wrote him and I'm waiting on his reply.
It's important to factor in the kind of work that JP does. Some jobs are personal enough that your passion drives you to be able to work those long hours. I don't know if working 100 hrs a week is sustainable for most jobs.
Great video, Ben. Thanks for sharing this useful and life-changing info. Keep going!
Nice work Ben, Inspirational to see you do this!
It's interesting that you mentioned the ultradian cycle that Andrew Huberman talks about. He recommends work periods of 90 minutes followed by a break for optimal concentration. You said you didn't even need a break after 3 hours of work. Don't you feel a dip in concentration after such a long time? What are your thoughts on this?
I love that he brought up Huberman and hope he responds soon. Living a week like him would be quite similar too.
Pretty good routine. I am currently enrolled in a self paced online coding bootcamp. I want to glide through it relatively fast. I have almost completely free day for a few months and I am trying to find a good routine which is reasonable for a "normal" human to complete the bootcamp. Do you recommend Jordan's?
Also, how long does he sleep in a day including the naps?
How much is the bootcamp ?
Thank you so much for the breakdown of some of his theories! Very good job!
You did a fantastic job on this video my friend!
6:00: Wake Up
6:01: Rescue your father from the belly of the whale.
hahaha
I think you did an A+. Working 14 hours of day means you don't leave yourself time to handle cooking, cleaning, and so on so I like how you changed the language of work to mean "productive" and "meaningful." It's not like you have a wife to support you in other matters, you know? I also think that there is a difference between work that has deadlines and work that can ebb and flow on your time, like school and work full-time simultaneously for instance, which is hazardous.
This came at a perfect time. Many thanks for this. I'm starting a week-long challenge in a few days. all the best & keep it up, man. Greetings from Poland! :-)
You’re awesome Ben. Go Jordan Peterson legit. If I’d have known then what I know now… At least it affirms some of my core beliefs about life, and work ethic. Can’t get enough of JP. Keep up the good work. You’re on the right path Ben.
Trucker Mary
I want to try this so badly, but I know I would struggle to come up with my daily schedule. I dont know what to put down. I feel as though I need constant guidance for my own life. Is there anyone that has this same issue? What have you done to remedy that and how did you know you were moving forward rather than just wasting time?
Goals will help. You work out the path to them yourself most of the time, and they provide some sort of progress value when they're set in checkpoints
"Work out this many times during the week", and you'll find your own time slots to make that possible
"Study before X occurs". When you set the quantitative values of what you have to study, you can divide it amongst the upcoming days
"Work this many words/hours into your narrative piece" personalised because of my hobby in writing, but it helps me set time in the afternoon to be productive
It takes two weeks to build a habit, so also aim for that. And don't wake up late during this, nothing makes you feel more defeated to be productive when you're out of bed at 3pm
I saw a video where Jordan Peterson said something like 'After 2 years the person who works 70 hours a day is so far ahead of the person working 30 hours a day that they can never catch up'. Which is both intimidating and inspiring at the same time (which I think is actually the intended message). What I like about Jordan Peterson is that he made getting smarter and improving yourself seem cool. I think my mindset before was to do just enough self improvement to get to the next stage of my life and then enjoy the leisure. But really the process of self improvement can be so exciting if you're not just treating it as the necessary sacrifice for leisure.
Actually they can if they kick it up a notch and the one leading decides to slack off.
Probably meant 70 hours a week instead of every day.
@@edwardoverholt1943 Oh yeah hahaha that was a brain fart
this was a great video, thanks for toning it down for us, because jordan feels like hes just on such a higher level of just do it, seeing you actually do it makes me believe that theres hope for me yet..
Sleeping at Last at the 12th minute mark made me loveeee this even more. Well done, Ben!
I almost never post/comment, and I may not be very coherent, but let me get this straight... If you work for 14 hours/day ( no weekends ) and sleep for a minimum of 7 hours ( to be well rested enough ), that leaves 3 hours for spending time with family/friends, working out, reading, pursuing other interests, running errands, doing the shopping, having appointments ( doctors', car mechanic, etc ), not to mention the daily basic stuff like taking a shower, eating, cooking, etc. It seems seriously out of balance and unrealistic to me. Maybe some of the stuff has to be considered as part of the 14 hours of work in order for this to make sense, but for a normal human being, I doubt it's sustainable, and there is more to life than work ( which for most people takes the form of a day job ). While there are many healthy and good things to take away from this routine and these principles, I still think it's gloryfing an unhealthy/unbalanced lifestyle under the mirrage of being "productive". I am not saying that you shouldn't work hard...but I think being more efficient with your time is better than just doing more. 8 hrs / day is more than enough under normal circumstances, in order to leave you with enough time to invest in all other aspects of your life, which are equally important ( if not more so ). I am a bit tired of all these unrealistic theories that create that pressure to work all the time, and if you do otherwise, you are perceived as being "lazy" or "unproductive". Is this what life should be? Working for more than 80% of your waking hours? prioritizing this over all else, like family, children, faith, health, etc ? I appreciate many of Dr. Peterson's ideas, and I think in many ways he's brilliant, but as with any public figure, influencer, intellectual, etc we should always try and be objective and analyse and think for ourselves before blindingly following anyone's ideas just because we admire that person. Anyway...rant over.
Well, a few things: It depends what your work is. Working at a desk job is not the same as doing something creative, or something with varied productive tasks. For example, as part of my work I have to draw, animate, make music, and program, all of which include varied activities that are also hobbies. For JP, reading books is likely a part of his work, as is going to various events. Also, just because something is your daily routine, that doesn't mean that it's what you do every single day. You can set aside days to do other activities, like playing sports, or going to leisure events, or spending time with family (which in the right context are all productive). The goal of routine is to have a status quo that you can diverge from in reasonable ways, rather than being directionless or chaotic, which is how a lot of people get addicted to short term satisfaction, or spend all day watching TV, UA-cam, etc.
I can agree with your rant. I would add few things: working this much isn't healthy from a mental health standpoint - burnout is a real thing, and people shouldn't underestimate the creeping tiredness that can lead to a total mental and physical collapse, or in my case, the front end of a truck that I can see coming up on the highway seemed like a possible choice. I wouldn't want that feeling to my worst enemy. Second thing is, altough I have the greatest respect for Dr. JP, I wouldn't call him someone who I look up to because he's happy.
He’s also grown alone and children are grown.
When alone you have all the time in the world to do that. Children are full of curveballs. There’s no way if you are in the trenches with children in the home.
And yes! Would hate to live my life so programmed. 😵💫
From what I know he work in 2-3 blocks before taking breaks and naps all that count as the 14 hours works routine not straight up working for 14 hours with no breaks
