Thanks alot..😃
#7 you can expand this by saying: do something outdoor on your own. A lot of people spend some/much time on their own but that alone-time is mostly, if not always, indoors. Going out to a cinema, theater, sports game, concert, even a restaurant or bar, can be done on your own as well. But we usually limit ourselves to doing those things when we're with other people, which is not needed. You can see it as going on a "date" with yourself. It might feel awkward but that's the point.
psteeg I have tried this and gradually you end up feeling so comfortable with yourself, that it feels like magic.
Areshio Izumi I can relate to the awkwardness you might feel but that’s just because you might be afraid of others looking at you and judging you based on the fact that you’re alone? (This is what happened with me initially, the reason for your awkwardness might be different).
But to overcome it, simply carry your favorite book or plug in your earphones and listen to music or an audiobook.. do something that you would do when you’re alone..
I hope this helps! :)
Have a good day!
what can be benefited from this?
@@smartwater598 it can be a step towards becoming less socially awkward (for those who are socially awkward), or afraid of going out, or afraid of doing something different than usual. The activity itself could be anything, and it's not important what you do. What's important is that you don't make yourself "trapped" at home because "everything in the outside world is scary and awkward" which is untrue.
Agreed!
You are easily becoming one of my favourite UA-camrs
Awesome Thomas. I like the first habit especially. We go too long without voice to voice communication with our loved ones and friends.
The first habit is very good there are too much loneliness in this world. Even just saying hi to someone can make their day. Help make the world a better place anyone can do it. 😀
So true! Even more important right now ✨
I can not say enough how valuable this channel is to me - thanks so much for your work, Thomas. Really appreciated!
when you've realized you've watched all of the habits videos and haven't done any of them
Then it becomes a habit...
Me
Yeaaa lol 😂 😂
🤣🤣🤣
Mood
I follow a few productivity gurus n a lot of ideas get redundant I love that you have a fresh take on things.
Today I learned how to properly brush my teeth. Sounds dumb but I improved my method since my dentist said that I had a lot of plaque build up
You, I like you
Yeah same, i dont rub hard enouth
Swasiland Infidel congratulations 👏
Same.
Not dumb. Totally worthwhile. It effects your overall health and eventually your appearance and how you feel.
I love your no nonsense videos. Most youtubers ramble on about their own lives and give us updates... which some people might like but I like it quick and to the point. So thank you! It's so refreshing :)
Number 9: Watch a video from Thomas Frank!
Yes! Improve a process in your life BY watching and *implementing* the suggestions in Thomas Frank videos!
Way to go Tyler! Improve yourself by any mean possible.
Yes! This!
Ha ha yes indeed! 🥳
Number 7 is what affects me the most lately I guess. I'm with my roommates most of the time and being surrounded by people for a long time just drains me. I don't get to take out time for myself and do the activities I once used to do on a regular basis like reading a book or watching a movie. I feel like I'm not working upto my potential and I'm just degrading mentally and wasting my time. Your videos help me a lot though. I wish you were one of my real life friends Thomas 😂
Don't we all wish he was one of our friends 😁🤙🏼
Really positive video, great list and advice. Thanks for the tips
Great tips! Another one I would add is to revisit your notes or material you've learned before to induce spaced repetition.
thanks for your habit videos I love them there helped me in my life and they are all awesome.
Lots los love form germany.
I really really love what you’re saying!!!!! Thanks for expanding on the social benefits for many things and also for just being with yourself. Awesome, awesome thank you 😃
Great video! I'm glad I have been practicing 6/8 of these recommendations. Thanks Thomas, happy holidays!
Thank you for this video. It’s very inspiring!
Love the lifestyle improvements you post.
FYI, Kaizen (改善) is the Japanese word for continuous incremental "improvement".
calvin chew It’s written the same way, but pronounced “gaishan” in Mandarin Chinese.
I like the be the leader one!! The best memories i have with my friends are the ones they planned so i need to step up my game and not just do the same old same old things
Absolutely love your work Thomas. Please keep em coming.
Nice ideas! I'd add "practice being present deeply". Our culture is focused on refining, accomplishing, doing, creating, improving and optimizing, and we loose site experiencing what ever activity is happening in a given moment, and doing this fully and deeply (i.e. eating, walking, talking, listening, showering, cuddling, playing, cleaning, sitting, etc.)
Best habit list I’ve probably ever heard. Very thought provoking and unique. Incorporating even one of these regular habits would be of great value.
Great stuff man! So many good ideas, especially about habits for interacting with friends. These were new ideas for me and I think are even more applicable during this whole year of 2020. Keep it up man. What a blessing!
Dude I'm so glad your videos exist, they're such a motivation booster
Yes!!
this is EXCELLENT advice. Weekly habits are a fantastic topic to discuss and think about, you're quite right! Thank you for your suggestions, I'll practice the ones I don't already
I love your videos and also the fact that you are really honest with us viewers
a 1% improvment tip for Thomas and any creator out there : when doing a sponsor mention the fact that you use the course or product that you are sponsoring this always encourages me to click the link and go check it out.
Hope this helps you, have a nice day.
Great video Thomas! Always look forward to your content!
🥳 I love number 5: you lead a fun activity!! So many time we wait... dont take the initiative! There is a lot more creativity in is than we acknowledge ✨
I love the concept of high-density fun! most of my friends don't share this with me though, so I just do fun new stuff without them. Since a few years ago I have started solo travel, surfing, yoga holidays, salsa dancing... I learned a lot about myself, and became better at casual interactions and quickly connecting with new people. I still meet regularly my old friends as we love and support each other no matter what, but I need more novelty in my life than they do.
Thank you!!!! Saving this to my lifestyle playlist!
It took me so long to figure out a productivity system that I used and updated enough to _trust._ Great tip to go into your system and remove entropy once a week. Thanks!
You definetly improved a lot on the lighting! Keep up the great work man! Awesome content :D
Thank you so much I really needed your videos The gave the motivation to move forward despite all my flaws and constant failure to change my behavior I fell sincere gratitude toward you once more thank you so much.
One of your best videos ever. Simple tips which done over down will make a big difference. 👏👏👏👏
I think this is the most useful video of yours that I have watched, I couldn't agree more with you and I need to devote myself more to habits like this.
I don’t know what made you want to become the man you are but I’m so thankful you became who you are. You are pulling so many people into success and helping them become who they’ve always wanted to be but didn’t know how, including me. So thank you.
Hey Tom!
Great video as usual! I was just wondering if we could have a video on the topic of using visualization to improve focus and motivation, deep work rituals and other things from sports psychology and how they can be applied in other activities like studying. I'm really intrigued by this, especially after reading about Michael Phelps' visualization techniques in Power of Habit.
Perfect lighting and set-up, Thomas. You are inspiring and amazing. Happy holidays :-)
Hi Thomas! Thanks for another awesome video. Could you do a video about your philosophy on life? Maybe like what values are most important to living a meaningful/productive life (curiousity, consistency, etc.)? I'd love to hear your perspective!
Great video, Thomas!
Can you do an overview at the end of the video? I think it could improve quality of your videos. Thanks!
As soon as you mentioned the first habit, I hit like..... YOU ARE AWESOME....and yes that goes in bold
I didn't expect these. Great ideas! Thank You for inspiration
This was super helpful! And actually really inspiring and invigorating!
Great video, Thomas; thanks! One more item for improvement: at 10:54 proofread the SRT file. Keep up the good work!
Thank you for all your videos. I've gotten a ton of value from them over the years.
Great video. Really enjoyed your lighting examples.
Awesome, this was one video that really gave me value. Time well spent.
#3 is interesting. I’m an organized person, and I love this topic. Can you do a video and expand?
Love these weekly habits, added these! Thanks!
Very helpful... the improvement tips are definitely to be put into practice...keep it up!
Awesome video I completely agree with you!! Love the ideas they are very helpful thank you 😁
Thanks for another great video Thomas!
I was wondering where you get all your excellent B roll images?
I would also love to see a breakdown of your full notion set up!
This has been super helpful! Please make a monthly habit list too!
Regarding Tip 8, it's not just that "there is always a better way to do something". What may have been "best" last week or last month may not be "best" now or in the future. Review a process weekly as well as your tasks and projects. An acceptable outcome can be "Yes, this is still the best way for me to do this."
You're a very motivating guy thanks for continuing to upload
Great video - I agree some habits are set at intervals - weekly habits I enjoy are weekly financial health checkups and family day.
Oh can't forget and cheat meal day, typically tied in with girls' night and loaded in my Key Planner habit tracker APP. Love these tips. Thank you for sharing!
Thomas this is inspiring. You are on point. I will just need apply and do this.
Thank you very much I really learn lots of things from your video 🙏 God bless you 🤗
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, I enjoyed learning about entropy 🎶
let's play a game called "can i watch every single thomas frank video before the new year starts" :D they're so informative, interesting, and helpful-excellent work every time thomas!!! your videos really help me to improve myself and my life! :)
Great job with the videos! Helpful.
Thanks for the"before and after" shot of the lighting differences in your studio.
Only do all-out workouts if you have the time (and energie) to recover. I found this out the hard way
My workout require to focus strictly on form rather than going all out lol..can't really take that advice
But we can in the form of "caring about your reps" putting real focus and effort into our workouts daily.
binge watching all the habits and productivity videos all again so it can help me cope with my own procrastination.
Habit #7 really hit home. I need to do the reverse -- i.e. get out the house and be with people. I also need to get back to updating a historical website I created. Major life events have kept me away from it, so NOW is the time. I always sort my articles by date and category. When I sort by category it allows me to work on putting all the links that go together on the same page, then move on to another page's new links. A Real time saver! Thanks for this video. It has shaken me up to make some changes in the coming year.
Hey Thomas! I think a great video you should come up with next is “The Best New Year’s Resolutions For 2019”! That would be great!
cooool I'll try incooperating these habits into my life cause it seems like I need some refreshment in my routine. Also, I LOVE your shirt. where'd you get it from ?!
Was thinking about mowing the lawn and it checks off the all out workout. Yay, dopamine rush.
So helpful Thomas. Thank you
This is exactly what I needed right now.
Great Ideas Thomas... I think these habits really help us move forward intentionally
My biggest challenge is to do the "All out" workout every week
Omg! This is what I have been looking for!!
Love all your tips!
Thanks for the free book Thomas, Feynman would be prouder than a goat on Everest👍 you're an inspiration and anyone who doesn't see that is thick😇
Frank I need you for my daily week reminders 😂❤️
Great video Thomas!
Great video as always! But I would really appreciate if you could add a short conclusion at the and list those 8 habits.
Watched a few of your videos a while back (was in heavy depression) and it kind of helped me :)
I'm not entirely out of it though, I'm still thinking : "Why bother" and mostly thinking that the things I could do isn't worth it. That it won't lead anywhere (I'm looking into entrepreneurship), but those thoughts are always stopping my advancement.
Tigre Demon Hey Tigre, I can relate, man. If it’s not too personal, are you on any meds? Sometimes all you can do while you’re taking them is just rest and focus on small stuff like eating nutritious stuff and staying hydrated. Then only make changes once you’re feeling way better - which takes a bit of patience.
But if you’re not on meds and still struggling, what helped me was a daily gratitude journal. Literally, basic stuff, just spending 5-10 mins each morning thinking what I was grateful for in my life; focusing on creating a feeling of gratitude rather than whether or not the item was dumb. Stuff like “hot coffee”, “being able to go for a walk”, “good music”, “having my brother” etc. I tried it just for a month or so and genuinely started to notice a difference in my mood and how I felt about my life. Then could start to make positive changes. Worth a shot? Happy holidays
@@SaintOrCinema Not on any meds, haven't seen a psy yet and haven't been in therapy or whatever, but I want to.
I have K-POP for that :D (Taeyeon is strength, she also has depressions and I see myself in her and what she says sometimes, but she's still fighting strong, I'm male btw but I don't care I love k pop ahah)
Cheers, happy holidays
Great tips! Thanks Frank! I really liked a part about Notion App - tried it out and realized it's so great for video editors or just structuring any project. Keep on doing great videos ;)
No problem :)
really like this video... the B-roll part take my attention, didn't know about that
Its always Great to have routine and Stability. So Thank you for this video to show habits on how to Live Full Out
Great video Thomas 👍🏻
Using the high performance planner? ya me 2. Great video! :)
Love number 7, alone time is so valuable
That is a good list. Thank you
I just noticed the Scott Pilgrim comics in the background and it put a huge smile on my face!
you're smart and cute and radiate good vibes and that voice tho darn it I have to work so hard to make my brain focus on the content I'm actually here to watch 🙈🙈 😂😂 your content is really helpful btw 👌
It’s nice to hear someone speaking of doing habits once a week as opposed to every single day. Habits everyday are essential, but at least doing something once a week can mean something different every day 🎶
I’m going to definitely try to apply more of these in the new year 😁
Studious Anjy do it now, lol what’s different from today and the new year? Today is here and you can do something about it already, the future is determined by the present. 😁
Guess who got the “10 STEPS TO EARNING AWESOME GRADES (while studying less) book by Thomas Frank for Christmas?!?!??!?!???!!!
Me! I am so happy. Next year for the spring semester I better DO GOOD!! This book will make it happen. 😂👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I am so glad to finally see someone acknowledge that DDR is a work out! Also super fun!
I love the way you bring comedy into your videos!
Great tips. Thank you
awesome, thanks for sharing
this applies to everyone in every walk of life. I like that
Please do a video about David Doggins. Your thoughts about him and how you can apply his habits in our daily life
LOVE these recommendations.
Me too!
Hey, Thomas
You're a wonderful person
And this channel is extremely helpful
I wanna ask if all of your suggestions and advices could be applied to a really busy person, say a medical student or a doctor 😅 who can't even maintain a reguler sleep cycle due to shifts or emergency calls.
I wanna know your comments about it or simply if you know, suggest a channel that specifically concerns about this.
Great video man thanks a lot ☺️
