This is actually one of the better videos on discipline I've watched, and I've watched a bunch. Instead of just rambling free form, you structured it and presented it very nicely, visuals were top notch and I think I took away some valuable points from it. Please make more such videos on similar topics of achievement, success, fullfilment, happiness, spiritual strength, mental toughness and so on.
I didn’t have discipline growing up. I wasent forced to brush my teeth, I wasent grounded, I wasent forced to eat veggies and fruit. I wasent forced to clean. It’s brutal. I’ve just been going off motivation. My mom recently passed and I don’t have anyone else so that hit hard for me. I’ve realized I’m the only one to change anything. I’m working on my discipline and so far I’ve only started with working out. I’m down 75lbs in a year and I’m still doing but but it’s a lot slower now. I just need to go ahead and do everything else to catch up and once I start I believe I’ll be unstoppable. I just wish I grew up like this so my mom could see I’m not such a disappointment so she could be proud.
Fantastic, brother. Well done on losing the weight. Parents are often afraid of instilling discipline in their children because they think their kids will grow to resent them. I believe it's better to have children who resent you, but who are prepared to cope with the realities of the world, than to have children who love you, but are useless to society. I'm psyched to hear you've taken control of your life, brother. Keep it up.
I'm a mother and I'm really proud of you I wish I could lose all that weight it's such an achievement.your mother would be super proud of you and your going in the right direction that the main thing stay strong🌈🌈🌈
Hey I have the same story no discipline growing up. It was a drag learning how to hold a job/ place/ wife when I was in my mid 20s because I never learned responsibility I learned the opposite drugs partying reckless living but 10 years later I am another person a lot of credit to Jesus coz I put my eggs in his basket but also put in work to get my act together church helped me a lot

I agree!!! That was such an eye opener, like nothing I've ever heard before. Once we take 20 steps back with 20 negative decisions, we would then have to take 20 positive steps forward, with 20 good decisions, just to be at the same place we started before our downward trajectory. THAT is why we feel hopeless, like we are not going anywhere and like it's pointless to even try. This actually blew my mind. This is why it feels like we are stuck, or not moving. If we go back and forth between + and - decisions, then we will really feel stuck, because ultimately we aren't moving. It will then feel like our goal is so far away that it's unobtainable. Or, a person can take very big steps to move forward faster, but it's hard to do that. Taking the big steps can lead to us being overwhelmed and quitting. Anthony pointed that out as well. I will never look at a decision in the same way again.
I have watched hundreds of videos and read countless books about motivation and sometime last year I sort of just hit a wall. Nothing seemed to be seeping through and helping me make lasting positive change. Only fits and starts here and there. Then I was finally diagnosed with ADHD at 50. Honestly, after somewhat unsuccessfully trying to address that issue I had sort of settled into “this is just how I am” and making the positive changes necessary to ever accomplish anything lasting and real was simply not in the cards for me in this life. Then I found your channel. Now I am starting to believe I can do it. Thank you.
When you said: "Brush your teeth"... You got me. You got me into tears. It's me. Still getting out from a burn out adn sometime I'm still asking myself things that I find stupid. But they're not.
@@AnthonyVicino ya been living that hell wanted to end it taking my life seemed like the only way... trying to claw back and start to get that ball rolling agian in the +1 rather then the -1s thanks for the info. its giving me hope..
@@brandonquinn887congratulations on finding your why again brother, keep going! You can do this. I understand I was in the same situation about a year ago.
This is a fantastic video! Passing this on to my sons. Also, you come off as very personable and an "everyman" type of guy, which is refreshing given that most of the manosphere or self-help sphere or whatever you wanna call it is a bunch of outliers pretending to be average joes or simply posers. Lots of continued success to you, man
Baseline. I just cried because I'm tired of fighting the sadness. Then I came back to this video and listened to the first step. Treat every decision as though it's important. I stopped there. That's all I can handle right now. I'm gonna clean the bathroom. I don't feel like it...but it matters...and it's better than sitting with my wet face in my hands😒. I feel better...a tiny bit🥺.
Was finally diagnosed as being ADHD and prescribed meds that seem to do wonders for me. Unfortunately, I'm in my 50's and have nothing to show for my 19,500+ days of being in this existence except horror stories of bouncing from job to job, from one career field to another, fits and starts of countless projects, entrepreneurial ideas and broken relationships. Luckily, a wonderful woman chose me, has helped me start an amazing journey to greatness. Now I stumble across this video. YES!!! Exactly. I NEED TO UN-F MY LIFE and become the person I should've been decades ago. Huzzah!
I think a strong helper instilled since being a kid was the idea that if something has to be done there is no decision. Getting rid of the decision process altogether and knowing you just have to do it, so just do it, made 90% of decisions non-factors. :)
Some of the best content on UA-cam. No BS. This guy gets it and wants us to be the best person possible. I will be signing up for the newsletter. Can't wait to see what the future holds. Thank you Anthony!!!
Oh I love the idea of the +1 framework! Also, I can confirm that the "Become the master and the slave" theory works and that it works very well (if you discipline yourself to do it daily). The only thing I do differently to emotionally detach myself from the activities that need to be done tomorrow is that I don't think of my tomorrow's self as myself. When I started practicing this I wrote a note for my future selves that summarizes this thinking... "You only live today. That's it. Tomorrow? That's not you, that's tomorrow's Jacob. Your time to do something is today. Do the best you can to move closer to your goals and help tomorrow's Jacob to do the same." It helps me with being grateful to my yesterday's me for doing the decision-making for me and motivates me to do the same for my tomorrow's me. It also helps with actually trying my best to follow the plan I have for the day. (Btw I didn't come up with this "one day-one life" way of thinking, Seneca did.)
Same. i'm not sure where I got this particular framework, but Seneca seems a very likely influence. I used to say that my only job is to live my day in a way that Future-Anthony doesn't look back at Past-Anthony and want to kick his ass!
I am standing at crossroads right now, and stumbling upon your video seems weirdly aligned with what I need to hear - ESPECIALLY the part about not listening to one's self. I went through countless schedules, alarms, planning, diaries, and virtually anything I could... apart from actually doing the thing. Big thank you.
I've watched so many videos on discipline and this is literally the best one. I am very grateful for the work you do and the content you provide. Regarding the 6th step of overcoming resistance, what really helps me to get started is the 5 second rule by Mel Robbins. Keep going with your work, it's really amazing.
As dopamine addicted person doing art it's quite hard to change mindset from "What will be more fun" to "What will be more profitable". I am already know that fun is everywhere, you just need to keep walking. But that milestones +/- 1 metaphor is good. Never had that thought, and I see how it can affect my way further. Thanks =)
Thank you so much for this. I've been struggling a lot with my health recently, and haven't been able to get myself to make the changes I know I need to make. I feel like I tried everything, but this really stuck with me. I hope I'll be able to use it well.
Hi, I am 70 years old and have just discovered your videos. They are wonderful. Same as many others here, grew up with no given direction, advice, or discipline. I have all the negative habits, thought processes you speak about. Your words will be helpful to me. Now, you are an excellent speaker! I am curious if you are reading your script, which you don't appear to be doing, or did you memorize what you would say in this video, OR are you speaking just off the top of your head from all the knowledge you've gained from experience ?? Also thank you for answering people here. Your advice is encouraging and it's encouraging to know you have been heard !! A large number of people don't answer. Thanks !
I'm so glad to hear you've found the videos useful! On these videos, I'm reading from a script. On my other channel (ua-cam.com/users/amplifiedimpact), I speak off the top of my head.
I’ve been subscribed to your channel for a while as well and I think your content is SO good, unique and honest. Looking forward to see you continue to smash it!
Wow! This video is huge! So much wise things put in a 14 minutes video. One should really digest those points for a day and then continually come back to it in order to get them rolling. Thank you so much!
Wow thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us. Seems like you figure yourself out to get the most productivity out of yourself. You're right it's not easy but it's worth it. I recently started working out again just so I can lose body fat and feel better. I also started intermittent fasting to get in better shape. The working out and the intermittent fasting was really hard the first few weeks but now the strength is going up and I'm feeling better I'm losing body weight. I'm trying to apply discipline to making money. I like what you were saying about the + 1 + -1. We do live in a world that is filled with so many distractions so hard to stay on task but I liked what you said about scheduling.. I'm a lot like you
I am subscribed. I will study your video, make notes, and prepare myself to learn discipline. I made already some steps in the right direction, like quitting drinking not so long ago (I don’t need this). My next step will be sell stuff to make space in my apartment. After years of procrastination I was buying books that I never had the time and the discipline to read. I will get rid of this stuff. My goal is to write a book based on a PhD thesis I finished in 2015. This is 8 years ago, unbelievable! I had a burnout after this and didn’t have the discipline to go back to work. This is what I will do tomorrow soon after having my coffee: watch the video again and make notes, prepare the stuff I want to sell, and plan my next step. One step after the other, and every decision is important- I got it 😊 Thanks for the video, it is exactly what I need right now!
Summary! The resistance, want to put things like status quo 1. Motivation and discipline M - feels good, reward centre, short lived D - do things in the moment, enen if you don't want 1. Treat everything you do as important (+1 framework Infront, -1 framework behind) Does not matter how impt the decision, move front and back only Thinking of every decision is impt (Netflix or learn) Start small move towards greatness or away 2. Start work, does not feel about how you feel 3. Remove temptation Intentionally design environment 4. Become the master and the salvage Current and future me Time block, design the perfect next day for future me Future me just follow 5. Identify my why Clearly understand why I should do so Fear at the end of the life, didn't live up the potential 6. Develop daily discipline practise Make myself do the hard thing How to combat procrastinating 1. Become aware that I'm delaying Intentional Maintenance: random alarm + what's my outcome 2. Reclaim my intention - reconnect why I need to do 3. What I need to do (win the game) Objective, set tiny goal Object at rest will stay at rest, use smallest energy to get the ball start rolling Give myself lesser time (by the end of the hour) 4. Just get started Momentum, any forward motion will put Issac newton with me
This is a break down plan of discipline I didn't know i was missing, thank you so much! I always watch atleast one motivational video a day to keep me in a constant growth mindset, I'm glad i came across your channel.
One of those rare times where UA-cam algo made me watch a video that led to me leaving a comment and closing the browser straight away. Thank you Anthony.
This video seems to take just about every valuable lesson I've found useful for my life since getting into solving the discipline issue and states the clearest progression framework I think I've ever heard in terms of how to achieve them step by step. Fucking blessing of a yt channel
Thanks Anthony for this value shared! Discipline is a great mental battle between doing the work and getting results. Most time we know we won't get result by sitting but we still sit because it's more comfortable.
Hey Anthony, amazing video, as someone who struggles with building discipline and procrastination, I have to say this video helped a lot. Keep up the good work. 👍
So many great ideas in one video! It seems like your camera is the only one with a focus problem. 🤪I like the photos of road signs with plus one and minus one?
Use great ideas to build yourself into a man of strength and character, a man of your word, skilful and with a greater purpose that serves the ones around you as well. If you enjoy ideas about masculinity and mastery, I invite you to explore the videos I share on the Mastery Order Channel. Challenge yourself with some concepts about manhood, explore your masculine potential to the maximum and become the kind of man you would admire. We can only better ourselves together, as men among men, so I invite you to use what I share and, of course, share your own opinions so that others can benefit from them as well. Looking forward to your points of view. All the best to you!
Thanks, dude. Those signs were a good touch (all credit goes to my editor who is a rockstar!). We just got an awesome new camera so hopefuly on future videos we'll have the focus problem sorted!
This was one of the best content I have watched about discipline as a Coach, thank you very much about this video. And I also love to watch your other videos as well :)
@@AnthonyVicino From one of your video, you said that if you need help for business situation, you can try to contact with me on Twitter, and I can help you. You said sometling like that, if I ask you for your help about my business, would you help me, if you havean option to help ? :) I just wanted to try my chance :)
@@kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk258 Shoot me a DM. I try my best to get back to everybody (but I just got back from Antarctica so I'm a bit behind, just be patient). Also, don't write me a book. Identify exactly what you need help with and be concise. :)
i've been learning to improve myself for the past few years, videos like yours really help me when i think i'm loosing track of my progress or start to slow down. thank you for this insite, i struggle with self disipline and i'm going to use some of your structures to help push myself further. my favorite was the "become the master and the slave" planning the next day for myself so i don't have to use the mental capacity the next day and keep my productivity up. thank you again for this :)
Thank you so much for this video Anthony! I don’t know why but I have a hard time to be well organized and follow productive patterns…however some quotes seem to stick in my mind and guide me. And I have a new one now: „The world does not care what you feel - it cares what you do!“ Anthony Vicino I will use this from now on, thank you!
Amazing video man, thanks for the great and hard work you put on it, I know how much energy you invested to do it. Focus is my No. 1 goal and I totally agree about the fact that getting out distractions is the key to focus, it is all a mix of not wanting to start because we see the task too big for us and we procrastinate. Discipline is the key to everything, to the whole universe within ourselves, mastering it is a great adventure that I'm loving it. Sometimes the path is not linear, but the important thing is keeping the momentum alive and progress is progress, even a small amount of progress can have a huge impact to our lives. Thanks again man! I admire you and people who put the hard work to make UA-cam videos!
Dude, brother….you are speaking my language. Your quotes are harmonizing well with my intentions. Your professional conveyance is on point! You are now on my list of men that I want to have coffee and talk business truths with. Keep up the great work!! Graham in Texas
I am in Anthony's Hyperfocus Masterclass for two weeks, and unlike all other courses, which I left within a few hours, there is still momentum. I work hard on improving my focus and discipline for two weeks, daily. Unbelievable. Maybe it is just because I've read most of the books he recommends, and now it just sinks in, but most likely he is becoming one of the best coaches in the world.
@@thejoe12345 I'm not a paid actor. But it is not a magic pill course either. It is definitely not an easy path. You better be ready for it, meaning - you read a number of books on habits, self-discipline, and you've already tried a lot of things related to habits and discipline. My goal is to repeat and practice all the things Anthony teaches, over and over, until they become solid habits. I will have to barricade myself from the internet so that my attention does not run to unimportant things. This is the most difficult part of the journey. To keep pushing until the habits are done. Then it should be relatively easy to maintain all habits. Few people are able to do it. My mind is craving for cheap dopamine now. I have withdrawal symptoms. UA-cam, Netflix and games are the best sources for release of this drug. But I'm committed to stay away of it. Although, I have to admit I slipped today. 5 hours on UA-cam. Such a waste of time. I'm quite sorry now, but I can't always make excuses about my ADHD. It was my fault, clearly.
There is a flaw here. How you feel does matter. Because we need to treat what we know we should do as important. But importance is judged by how we feel about it. So what we need to recognise is that we CAN CONTROL how we feel. We can choose it. This is state management and it is the most fundemental part of the drive and dicipline puzzle. And the way we do it is riliguously control how we speak to ourselves.
Thank You so much,I badly need this , not sleeping good lately. Been thinking so so much about success and what do I really what to do that’s giving me my purpose in life. ❤️ guess because im lazy and no discipline
@@AnthonyVicino I'm 24 yrs of age right now, I used to be depressed, weed addicted and had no purpose in life, had my traumas and all that but I overcame everything and now I'm super dedicated and have a self-discipline that I never thought I could have. I simply became a super-human. Your channel inspires me to continue, to keep going, it's so hard and you know that. Thank you for inspiration. Have a wonderful day and meet you at the top 1%! :)

Man, this is the best video I've seen on get things done. And as a natural procrastinator I've seen a few. Thanks for amazing job 👏 Do you have one where you talk more about your journey, what's driving you today and how you approach content and business strategy?
Great question. For those topics, you should check out my daily podcast (Amplified Impact). I get way more into the weeds on my story and motivation. Hint: My goal is to be the best investment my Dad ever made. That's what drives me.
Such valuable information you share with us. In the past I kept consuming this kind of information and lacked to work with and apply it. Decided to change this 🙂
Use great ideas to build yourself into a man of strength and character, a man of your word, skilful and with a greater purpose that serves the ones around you as well.

Anthony buddy omg the amount of work and effort you put into your videos and on top that you have a podcast 🔥 THANK YOU UR THE BEST keep it upp ❤️🔥❤️🔥
Anthony. I got to hand it to you man. Killer content again. I don't have the millions just as yet but inspired to create content. The plus 1 framework is refreshing. I'm not sure if you covered it in the past 16 videos. I looked at the book review today while taking a deep dive on your content. But do you have adhd and is that where the hyperfocus factors in? Using it as a superpower per se
That's exactly right, Ananda. I have severe ADHD and much of what I share on this channel are the lessons learned and frameworks developed that have allowed me to turn that ADHD into a superpower! Appreciate you being here!
bro you need to upgrade the b roll quality, for example check out matt Davella or better ideas. Great info by the way. also I would suggest using a powerful hook in the beginning of the video like hamza(using animations) or sell the end result.
I really appreciate the feedback, brother. We're constantly learning and improving. Trying to make each video better than the last. Appreciate your patience as we slowly grind our way towards greatness! :)
Setting and shortening our time windows for output is awesome advice! Anyone who reads this and got to 11:45 should keep in mind that Parkinson's law is a bit flawed in that it is very subjective to the relatability of the activity; give me 2 hours with the set up needed to cook a scrambled egg and the work will simply not expand enough to fill the entire process, but give me 2 hours with a set up to write a thesis on discipline and I can find plenty of references to play around with and fill up those 2 hours. Like Anthony said, It is best to just get started on the task as soon as possible. Setting a time window that you can end on and possibly revisit is especially important with tasks that can take up most of your time such as starting UA-cam Channel. Whether you want to focus on quantity or quality first on your endeavors is really up to you and your skills at the moment
For some reason I have a super hard crush on you. I absolutely love your content because I can relate to you the most out of all the productivity UA-camrs out there. Seeing each and every of your content is a must because of how much value I derive from it. But it is so distracting how beautiful and charming you are xD I literally have to stop looking at the video so I can listen and focus on the content and calm my racing heartbeat. Have a lovely day and thanks for helping all of us out 💕
Discipline is a function of motivation. It's dependant on purpose. That purpose isn't always consciously available, meaning we don't necessarily know what the discipline is for, if anything. Sometimes all the disciplinary efforts of a person lead to getting hit by a car. I got great grades in school, k-12 and in my 3.5 years at university. Not once did I question why I was so motivated to try that hard. When I finally did, I realized it was because I was conditioned to, not because it was actually working toward any goal I had any interest in. The actual education hasn't served me much purpose, but I did gain discipline that I applied to other things once I started thinking. I walked out of a lecture mid semester and never went back. I started putting that discipline toward my health and the creation of art. Now my discipline is purposeful, and it isn't hanging on by a thread waiting for the possibility of an existential crisis. So in effect, purposeless discipline served to bridge the gap until I found a purpose, and it provided a lesson that got me where I am. In other words, the purpose of the discipline didn't come full circle until I found purpose. It was necessary for me to get to where I am today. Even if I could conceive if a different path that skipped the bridge, that's not what happened.

Yup, bro! I see Anthony as my brother. Thank you very much!
Human models might be an awaking experience.
Having no male role model is porbably the biggest handicap in life, and I’m the same way.

Luckily, a wonderful woman chose me, has helped me start an amazing journey to greatness. Now I stumble across this video. YES!!! Exactly. I NEED TO UN-F MY LIFE and become the person I should've been decades ago. Huzzah!
Welcome to the ADHD club!
I’m 11 years younger than you and resonate so much. Diagnosed a year ago myself. Wishing you all the best!
I think a strong helper instilled since being a kid was the idea that if something has to be done there is no decision. Getting rid of the decision process altogether and knowing you just have to do it, so just do it, made 90% of decisions non-factors. :)
That's a powerful mind shift right there.
Some of the best content on UA-cam. No BS. This guy gets it and wants us to be the best person possible. I will be signing up for the newsletter. Can't wait to see what the future holds. Thank you Anthony!!!
Psyched for the love and support, David. Thankyou!
The Nietzche quote is pure GOLD! So true, regardless of how you feel about the man himself.
Even shitty humans occasionally say things worth hearing.
Very true@@AnthonyVicino
Banger video man. Happy to see your channel growing.
Thanks, brother!
Oh I love the idea of the +1 framework!
Also, I can confirm that the "Become the master and the slave" theory works and that it works very well (if you discipline yourself to do it daily). The only thing I do differently to emotionally detach myself from the activities that need to be done tomorrow is that I don't think of my tomorrow's self as myself. When I started practicing this I wrote a note for my future selves that summarizes this thinking... "You only live today. That's it. Tomorrow? That's not you, that's tomorrow's Jacob. Your time to do something is today. Do the best you can to move closer to your goals and help tomorrow's Jacob to do the same." It helps me with being grateful to my yesterday's me for doing the decision-making for me and motivates me to do the same for my tomorrow's me. It also helps with actually trying my best to follow the plan I have for the day.
(Btw I didn't come up with this "one day-one life" way of thinking, Seneca did.)
Same. i'm not sure where I got this particular framework, but Seneca seems a very likely influence.
I used to say that my only job is to live my day in a way that Future-Anthony doesn't look back at Past-Anthony and want to kick his ass!
I am standing at crossroads right now, and stumbling upon your video seems weirdly aligned with what I need to hear - ESPECIALLY the part about not listening to one's self. I went through countless schedules, alarms, planning, diaries, and virtually anything I could... apart from actually doing the thing. Big thank you.
Wonderful! Super psyched it was helpful.
Checking in with you, how has the last 12 days been?
I've watched so many videos on discipline and this is literally the best one. I am very grateful for the work you do and the content you provide. Regarding the 6th step of overcoming resistance, what really helps me to get started is the 5 second rule by Mel Robbins.
Keep going with your work, it's really amazing.
That's SO awesome to hear, Janina! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
As dopamine addicted person doing art it's quite hard to change mindset from "What will be more fun" to "What will be more profitable". I am already know that fun is everywhere, you just need to keep walking. But that milestones +/- 1 metaphor is good. Never had that thought, and I see how it can affect my way further. Thanks =)
Hope it helps ya, Victor! It's a nifty little framework that's served me well.
Thank you so much for this. I've been struggling a lot with my health recently, and haven't been able to get myself to make the changes I know I need to make. I feel like I tried everything, but this really stuck with me. I hope I'll be able to use it well.
I'm psyched this resonated. I hope it continues to serve you n the future, Aidan.
Hi, I am 70 years old and have just discovered your videos. They are wonderful. Same as many others here, grew up with no given direction, advice, or discipline. I have all the negative habits, thought processes you speak about. Your words will be helpful to me. Now, you are an excellent speaker! I am curious if you are reading your script, which you don't appear to be doing, or did you memorize what you would say in this video, OR are you speaking just off the top of your head from all the knowledge you've gained from experience ?? Also thank you for answering people here. Your advice is encouraging and it's encouraging to know you have been heard !! A large number of people don't answer. Thanks !
I'm so glad to hear you've found the videos useful!
On these videos, I'm reading from a script.
On my other channel (ua-cam.com/users/amplifiedimpact), I speak off the top of my head.
I’ve been subscribed to your channel for a while as well and I think your content is SO good, unique and honest.
Looking forward to see you continue to smash it!
That's so awesome to hear, Nischa. I'm a big fan of yours as well. So damn impressed with what you've created!
Too much truth in one video...I will watch it over and over again🔥
Glad to hear it
Wow! This video is huge! So much wise things put in a 14 minutes video. One should really digest those points for a day and then continually come back to it in order to get them rolling. Thank you so much!
Glad you liked it! I really appreciate you checking it out!
Wow thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us. Seems like you figure yourself out to get the most productivity out of yourself. You're right it's not easy but it's worth it. I recently started working out again just so I can lose body fat and feel better. I also started intermittent fasting to get in better shape. The working out and the intermittent fasting was really hard the first few weeks but now the strength is going up and I'm feeling better I'm losing body weight. I'm trying to apply discipline to making money. I like what you were saying about the + 1 + -1. We do live in a world that is filled with so many distractions so hard to stay on task but I liked what you said about scheduling.. I'm a lot like you
I love hearing that, Falkor. Thanks for checking out the video. (We are definitely more alike than we are different!)
Probably one of the most important videos on YT right here💯
thank you!
I am subscribed. I will study your video, make notes, and prepare myself to learn discipline. I made already some steps in the right direction, like quitting drinking not so long ago (I don’t need this). My next step will be sell stuff to make space in my apartment. After years of procrastination I was buying books that I never had the time and the discipline to read. I will get rid of this stuff.
My goal is to write a book based on a PhD thesis I finished in 2015. This is 8 years ago, unbelievable! I had a burnout after this and didn’t have the discipline to go back to work.
This is what I will do tomorrow soon after having my coffee: watch the video again and make notes, prepare the stuff I want to sell, and plan my next step.
One step after the other, and every decision is important- I got it 😊
Thanks for the video, it is exactly what I need right now!
I love it! Psyched to have you here.
Only channel I like before I watch the video. Best creator on UA-cam.
Dude, that means a lot. Thank you for the love!
Summary!
The resistance, want to put things like status quo
1. Motivation and discipline
M - feels good, reward centre, short lived
D - do things in the moment, enen if you don't want
1. Treat everything you do as important (+1 framework Infront, -1 framework behind)
Does not matter how impt the decision, move front and back only
Thinking of every decision is impt (Netflix or learn)
Start small move towards greatness or away
2. Start work, does not feel about how you feel
3. Remove temptation
Intentionally design environment
4. Become the master and the salvage
Current and future me
Time block, design the perfect next day for future me
Future me just follow
5. Identify my why
Clearly understand why I should do so
Fear at the end of the life, didn't live up the potential
6. Develop daily discipline practise
Make myself do the hard thing
How to combat procrastinating
1. Become aware that I'm delaying
Intentional Maintenance: random alarm + what's my outcome
2. Reclaim my intention
- reconnect why I need to do
3. What I need to do (win the game)
Objective, set tiny goal
Object at rest will stay at rest, use smallest energy to get the ball start rolling
Give myself lesser time (by the end of the hour)
4. Just get started
Momentum, any forward motion will put Issac newton with me
You rock! Thanks for this, brother.
This is a break down plan of discipline I didn't know i was missing, thank you so much! I always watch atleast one motivational video a day to keep me in a constant growth mindset, I'm glad i came across your channel.
That's a great routine, Laura. Keep it up. (Thanks for checking out the video!)
I love -1 +1 strategy, definetly will use then making desicions. Thanks for sharing your ideas.
Awesome to hear!
Your content is so well put out in every video. Absolutely contained, short and to the point. Really practical tips and tricks. Keep up the good work.
Much love, Rakesh. Thank you for checking out the vids. Psyched you enjoyed them.
Your presentation is excellent !! The video editing, the subtle music, your words and tone 👌
That's awesome to hear. Psyched you enjoyed the video!
One of those rare times where UA-cam algo made me watch a video that led to me leaving a comment and closing the browser straight away. Thank you Anthony.
Boom! I love hearing that!
This video seems to take just about every valuable lesson I've found useful for my life since getting into solving the discipline issue and states the clearest progression framework I think I've ever heard in terms of how to achieve them step by step. Fucking blessing of a yt channel
Love hearing that, brother!
Thanks Anthony for this value shared! Discipline is a great mental battle between doing the work and getting results. Most time we know we won't get result by sitting but we still sit because it's more comfortable.
Much love, TY Boss. Much love!
Hey Anthony, amazing video, as someone who struggles with building discipline and procrastination, I have to say this video helped a lot. Keep up the good work. 👍
That's really great to hear, Ammar. Thank you!
To master Discipline, you must first conquer self-control 🙏.
100%
@@AnthonyVicino is self control and discipline the same thing?
So many great ideas in one video! It seems like your camera is the only one with a focus problem. 🤪I like the photos of road signs with plus one and minus one?
Use great ideas to build yourself into a man of strength and character, a man of your word, skilful and with a greater purpose that serves the ones around you as well.
If you enjoy ideas about masculinity and mastery, I invite you to explore the videos I share on the Mastery Order Channel.
Challenge yourself with some concepts about manhood, explore your masculine potential to the maximum and become the kind of man you would admire.
We can only better ourselves together, as men among men, so I invite you to use what I share and, of course, share your own opinions so that others can benefit from them as well.
Looking forward to your points of view.
All the best to you!
Thanks, dude. Those signs were a good touch (all credit goes to my editor who is a rockstar!).
We just got an awesome new camera so hopefuly on future videos we'll have the focus problem sorted!
Thank god you got recommended. Your videos are life changing 👌
Glad you like them! I really appreciate it!
This was one of the best content I have watched about discipline as a Coach, thank you very much about this video. And I also love to watch your other videos as well :)
Thank you! I really appreciate the feedback!
@@AnthonyVicino From one of your video, you said that if you need help for business situation, you can try to contact with me on Twitter, and I can help you. You said sometling like that, if I ask you for your help about my business, would you help me, if you havean option to help ? :) I just wanted to try my chance :)
@@kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk258 Shoot me a DM. I try my best to get back to everybody (but I just got back from Antarctica so I'm a bit behind, just be patient).
Also, don't write me a book. Identify exactly what you need help with and be concise. :)
i've been learning to improve myself for the past few years, videos like yours really help me when i think i'm loosing track of my progress or start to slow down. thank you for this insite, i struggle with self disipline and i'm going to use some of your structures to help push myself further. my favorite was the "become the master and the slave" planning the next day for myself so i don't have to use the mental capacity the next day and keep my productivity up. thank you again for this :)
My pleasure! Psyched to have you here.
Such a good way of explaining the concept behind these topics hats off to you
I appreciate it! Glad you enjoyed.
Thank you so much for this video Anthony! I don’t know why but I have a hard time to be well organized and follow productive patterns…however some quotes seem to stick in my mind and guide me. And I have a new one now:
„The world does not care what you feel - it cares what you do!“ Anthony Vicino
I will use this from now on, thank you!
That's awesome to hear, Daniel. Really psyched you found that quote sticky!
Thank you AV.....its really helpful.❤
I love hearing that!
Amazing video man, thanks for the great and hard work you put on it, I know how much energy you invested to do it. Focus is my No. 1 goal and I totally agree about the fact that getting out distractions is the key to focus, it is all a mix of not wanting to start because we see the task too big for us and we procrastinate. Discipline is the key to everything, to the whole universe within ourselves, mastering it is a great adventure that I'm loving it. Sometimes the path is not linear, but the important thing is keeping the momentum alive and progress is progress, even a small amount of progress can have a huge impact to our lives.
Thanks again man! I admire you and people who put the hard work to make UA-cam videos!
Thank you, Mario. I really appreciate the support and encouragement, brother. It means a lot.
thank you very very very much Anthony, this is what i needed. God Bless You
me too man..thanks anthony
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I appreciate you both!
Dude, brother….you are speaking my language. Your quotes are harmonizing well with my intentions. Your professional conveyance is on point! You are now on my list of men that I want to have coffee and talk business truths with. Keep up the great work!!
Graham in Texas
Wonderful!! Love hearing that, Graham!
amazingly clever, witty and intelligent video. thank you for making it.
I really appreciate that! Thnk you!
I am in Anthony's Hyperfocus Masterclass for two weeks, and unlike all other courses, which I left within a few hours, there is still momentum. I work hard on improving my focus and discipline for two weeks, daily. Unbelievable. Maybe it is just because I've read most of the books he recommends, and now it just sinks in, but most likely he is becoming one of the best coaches in the world.
i hope you‘re not a paid actor because I‘m wanting to buy it now hehe
@@thejoe12345 I'm not a paid actor. But it is not a magic pill course either. It is definitely not an easy path. You better be ready for it, meaning - you read a number of books on habits, self-discipline, and you've already tried a lot of things related to habits and discipline.
My goal is to repeat and practice all the things Anthony teaches, over and over, until they become solid habits. I will have to barricade myself from the internet so that my attention does not run to unimportant things. This is the most difficult part of the journey. To keep pushing until the habits are done. Then it should be relatively easy to maintain all habits. Few people are able to do it. My mind is craving for cheap dopamine now. I have withdrawal symptoms. UA-cam, Netflix and games are the best sources for release of this drug. But I'm committed to stay away of it. Although, I have to admit I slipped today. 5 hours on UA-cam. Such a waste of time. I'm quite sorry now, but I can't always make excuses about my ADHD. It was my fault, clearly.
@@holistickezdravi Thank you for the in-depth reply man. I'm in pretty much the same situation. Do you want to connect and get through this together?
Great framework! This channel is slept on 💯
Appreciate that. Thank!
Thank you Anthony for this video.
It helped me a lot.
Really pscyhed to hear that Kelvin.
excellent " make hard things easier" that is my way of my life. Always with trust and faith!!
Truth!
Appreciate this friend, very impactful. Keep up the good work.
Much appreciated, Abel!
Everything you said is very practical. Thank you !!!
You're so welcome!
There is a flaw here. How you feel does matter. Because we need to treat what we know we should do as important. But importance is judged by how we feel about it. So what we need to recognise is that we CAN CONTROL how we feel. We can choose it. This is state management and it is the most fundemental part of the drive and dicipline puzzle. And the way we do it is riliguously control how we speak to ourselves.
Interesting
This video is so very good
And I love your honesty about your years of struggling to do the things you should be doing
You rock, Sanjay. Much appreciated!!
Thank you. Anthony!!
Simply getting off my chair helps me from being lazy since I feel stuck on the chair and can’t move sometimes.
I know how that feels. Just get a little traction and then keep the momentum.
I luckily found your video today and already subscribed. I truly appreciate all your tips no b.s. straight to the point thank you🙋🙏💯🎶🙆
Psyched you enjoyed it, Billy! Glad you found the channel.
you are the greatest and most realistic youtuber of all time and thank you because today is the first day I`ve watched your content speak to you soon
I really appreciate that, King. Thanks for being here and checking out the content!
Excellent work Anthony! Extremely valuable content 👊🏼
Thanks, brother! Glad you enjoyed it.
Yes!!!
Thanks, Caroline!
Thank You so much,I badly need this , not sleeping good lately. Been thinking so so much about success and what do I really what to do that’s giving me my purpose in life. ❤️ guess because im lazy and no discipline
You are so welcome, Jane.
Man I love your content! I discovered your account a few days ago and everything you post is high value! Big up!!❤
Thanks, brother. Really appreciate yuo checking out the channel, Alex.
@@AnthonyVicino I'm 24 yrs of age right now, I used to be depressed, weed addicted and had no purpose in life, had my traumas and all that but I overcame everything and now I'm super dedicated and have a self-discipline that I never thought I could have. I simply became a super-human. Your channel inspires me to continue, to keep going, it's so hard and you know that. Thank you for inspiration. Have a wonderful day and meet you at the top 1%! :)
Really cool way of explaining discipline! Incorporating laws and other ideologies was really creative.
Thanks, dude. Discipline isn;t the sexiest of topics, so I tried hard to make this one a bit more interesting.
Excellent explanation
Glad you liked it
Love your edits
Thanks. All credit goes to my amazing editor.
i am right now 14 years old and i want to be a millionaire before 30, so what skills should i acquire?
and what is the first step to do it?
pls help me
Do you have any discord server?
Sup, dude! I've got another video on the channel called "These 6 Skills Made Me Millions". Start there.
We're thinking about launching one in the next year, but for now the community is over on MightyNetworks. There's a link in the description of this video you can use to join for free.
@@AnthonyVicino ok fine , lets go ,you are the first one who replied me
Thanks Anthony
You're welcome!
"Watering a fake plant"...Thanks Anthony, I started using it 😅
Glad you liked that one.
I’m in the midst of starting a lot of personal growth changes and this video is so helpful. I’m going to start using this framework. Thank you!!
Glad it was helpful!
I wasted my 5 years wasting my time on social media. AND WHAT I LEARNED IN THESE 5 YEARS ON HOW TO OVERCOME PROCRASTINATION, YOU DESCRIBED IT SPOT ON.
Boom! Thanks Karan!
very much needed and this video has created a great impact ,,thank you and keep the work going
Thank you so much. Glad you found it valuable!
Man, this is the best video I've seen on get things done. And as a natural procrastinator I've seen a few. Thanks for amazing job 👏
Do you have one where you talk more about your journey, what's driving you today and how you approach content and business strategy?
Great question. For those topics, you should check out my daily podcast (Amplified Impact). I get way more into the weeds on my story and motivation.
Hint: My goal is to be the best investment my Dad ever made.
That's what drives me.
@@AnthonyVicino That sounds great! :-) Subscribed, like podcasts
Anthony, what can I say man, this is just great. Great work. Thank you!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Realy good videos Anthany I really respect how much time it took for you to get this channel up. Keep it going its amazing
Thanks, Maj! We put a ton of work and energy into these videos. Psyched you're finding them valuable.
How did you know exactly what I needed to hear right now? THANK YOU!
Awesome. Yay for great timing.
Such valuable information you share with us. In the past I kept consuming this kind of information and lacked to work with and apply it. Decided to change this 🙂

Literally the best explanation and pitfall prevention I've heard on DISCIPLINE. EXCEPTIONAL 👌 MUST LISTEN TO THIS OVER & OVER😊♥️
Thank you so much, Edward!
Thank you so much 💖
My pleasure!
The only video about productivity people need to see
Appreciate that! Hopefully it brings people a ton of value.
I could literally relate to every word of this video. Great content 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Awesome! Thank you!
Anthony buddy omg the amount of work and effort you put into your videos and on top that you have a podcast 🔥
THANK YOU UR THE BEST keep it upp ❤️🔥❤️🔥
You deserve a million subscriber 🥹
I really appreciate that. Thanks for the love and support. Hopefully we'll see ya at 1M :)
Anthony. I got to hand it to you man. Killer content again. I don't have the millions just as yet but inspired to create content. The plus 1 framework is refreshing.
I'm not sure if you covered it in the past 16 videos. I looked at the book review today while taking a deep dive on your content.
But do you have adhd and is that where the hyperfocus factors in? Using it as a superpower per se
That's exactly right, Ananda. I have severe ADHD and much of what I share on this channel are the lessons learned and frameworks developed that have allowed me to turn that ADHD into a superpower!
Appreciate you being here!
Thank you so much! Great video! Exactly what I needed to really concentrate on making my UA-cam channel as good as it can be. Great edits btw!
Glad it helped!
This guy deserves to have millions of followers and thousands of likes
Thank you, Mora. That's very kind of you!
@@AnthonyVicino on the contrary, many thanks to you for your videos. You are helping us to become the version of ourselves we want to be
Such an amazing video... Thank you Anthony!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you sir for sharing..youve done a great work!💪🏼I journal all you tips and strategy and will apply it in my life.Thanks!
Best of luck! Appreciate you being here.
bro you need to upgrade the b roll quality, for example check out matt Davella or better ideas. Great info by the way.
also I would suggest using a powerful hook in the beginning of the video like hamza(using animations) or sell the end result.
I really appreciate the feedback, brother. We're constantly learning and improving. Trying to make each video better than the last. Appreciate your patience as we slowly grind our way towards greatness! :)
You r such a great person❤
Thank you!
I love it. from now I'll stop all distriction n evry tym i district i use to see this only one video no scrolling nothing
Thanks!
Nicely done and the content is deep and powerful...
Thank you! I really appreciate that.
Keep up the good work 😃😃😃
You are amazing.
Aww, shucks. You're pretty awesome, too!
Setting and shortening our time windows for output is awesome advice! Anyone who reads this and got to 11:45 should keep in mind that Parkinson's law is a bit flawed in that it is very subjective to the relatability of the activity; give me 2 hours with the set up needed to cook a scrambled egg and the work will simply not expand enough to fill the entire process, but give me 2 hours with a set up to write a thesis on discipline and I can find plenty of references to play around with and fill up those 2 hours. Like Anthony said, It is best to just get started on the task as soon as possible. Setting a time window that you can end on and possibly revisit is especially important with tasks that can take up most of your time such as starting UA-cam Channel. Whether you want to focus on quantity or quality first on your endeavors is really up to you and your skills at the moment
Shortening time windows has been an incredible hack in my own life. IT's served me SO damn well over the years.
For some reason I have a super hard crush on you. I absolutely love your content because I can relate to you the most out of all the productivity UA-camrs out there. Seeing each and every of your content is a must because of how much value I derive from it. But it is so distracting how beautiful and charming you are xD I literally have to stop looking at the video so I can listen and focus on the content and calm my racing heartbeat. Have a lovely day and thanks for helping all of us out 💕
Wow, thank you! I really appreciate you checking out the videos. Psyched they're bringing you so much value, Abida!
The only self improvement video you should watch
Thank you! That means a lot!
Thank you, this was help you. Very nicely explained. The ingredients to becoming the ideal you and the obstacles.
My pleasure, Riki!
This is such a great video, definately going to use these steps! Thank u Anthony, hope one day I can be as influencial as you are right now to me!
I hope so too, Brother!
Discipline is a function of motivation. It's dependant on purpose. That purpose isn't always consciously available, meaning we don't necessarily know what the discipline is for, if anything. Sometimes all the disciplinary efforts of a person lead to getting hit by a car.
I got great grades in school, k-12 and in my 3.5 years at university. Not once did I question why I was so motivated to try that hard. When I finally did, I realized it was because I was conditioned to, not because it was actually working toward any goal I had any interest in. The actual education hasn't served me much purpose, but I did gain discipline that I applied to other things once I started thinking. I walked out of a lecture mid semester and never went back. I started putting that discipline toward my health and the creation of art. Now my discipline is purposeful, and it isn't hanging on by a thread waiting for the possibility of an existential crisis. So in effect, purposeless discipline served to bridge the gap until I found a purpose, and it provided a lesson that got me where I am. In other words, the purpose of the discipline didn't come full circle until I found purpose. It was necessary for me to get to where I am today. Even if I could conceive if a different path that skipped the bridge, that's not what happened.
Thanks again for sharing your opinion. Interesting insights you've provided.
