Rían here. If endless workdays leave you drained, science reveals a counterintuitive solution: Subtract hours to multiply output. By compressing your work, you elevate perceived importance--which boosts flow state.
With the science-backed techniques in this PDF, you can strategically compress your work to exceed a month’s worth of productivity in less than a day.
Finally thanks man . But what if u suffer from ADHD?
Thanks i will try it
Great info, nice touch, like, subscribe.
Thanks for the video!
Alright, I have to ask, how do I exit flow state? Currently I have been productive and everything being effortless. However, I finished my work. I do not know if me doing things I do not typically do will still be in a state of flow and never recover. The reason I ask is because I may be productive with work in flow state but I too can be productive with my chores and learning. However, extensive use, without recovery is pain, basically. It doesn't help that I will get the burning desire to go cook some eggs or work more on a company website that I Full Stack Develop. I do not know how to Force myself to recover when flow is extremely motivating.
This channel will probably have 1mill subs before this time next year. Solid, fresh, concepts and some of the best engaging editing I’ve seen around these topics. Easy sub.
I concur! Stylish, non-repetitive, logical!
Completely agree, really inspiring
Came here to say the same thing. I’ve read all these flow books but this reminder is like going to church on Sundays. Preach baby.
imagine investing in channels like they re stocks
Wow, thank you!
"Work Compression Method" can help increase productivity by doing less. It explains that working more hours doesn't necessarily mean being more productive. In fact, working fewer hours and focusing on specific tasks can lead to better results. Here are the key points in an easy-to-understand way:
1. Working more hours doesn't make you more productive: Science shows that forcing yourself to work longer hours can actually decrease your productivity.
2. Lyme disease example: The video tells a story about someone who became very ill and could only work three hours a day. Surprisingly, they became more productive during those three hours compared to when they were working longer hours.
3. Parkinson's law: Normally, work expands to fill the time available for it. But when you have fewer hours available, you become more focused and efficient in completing tasks.
4. Perceived importance: When you have limited time, you become better at prioritizing tasks and focusing on what truly matters. This helps you eliminate unimportant tasks and focus on the most important ones.
5. Challenge-skills balance: By compressing your work hours, you create a balance between the level of challenge and your skill set. This balance helps you stay motivated and engaged in your work, leading to better results.
6. Recovery: The video emphasizes the importance of proper recovery. By setting fixed work hours and strictly adhering to them, you allow yourself dedicated time for rest and rejuvenation. This helps you avoid burnout and maintain consistent productivity.
7. Consistency over intensity: Consistently working fewer hours is more effective than sporadically working long hours. It's about finding a sustainable rhythm that allows you to maintain productivity over the long term.
To implement the Work Compression Method, you can start by setting a specific number of hours for work each day that is less than what you currently work. Block those hours in your schedule and commit to not exceeding them. During those hours, focus on your tasks without distractions. Additionally, practice good digital hygiene by using features like Focus mode on your phone and turning off notifications to stay focused.
Remember, it may take time to adjust to this new approach, and there might be initial challenges. However, sticking with the process and committing to your compressed work hours can lead to increased productivity and better work-life balance.
Thank you you very much! This actually helped me out a lot
Thanks. For someone with ADD this is a great break down of the subject
Thank you 🙏
So useful! I find that breaking up my day into two, 3 hour sessions while single tasking on one main project does wonders for me.
Es por que no trabajas😂
Wonderful!
Do you do one project over the 6 hours (If the project is unfinished) or two different projects per 3 hour block usually?
This is what’s most people do in their everyday life working 3 hours a day is only going get you on the same level as everyone else because everyone else does this. If you want to rise above everyone else you have to do what nobody else will do and that can simply be working more than everyone else. Make sure you’re making good habits tho. Most people say practice makes perfect but that’s not true. PERFECT PRACTICE MAKES PRACTICE. Because if you practice wrongly you will perform poorly.
@@brandonbeck6596 That's linearity bias. Having more output/better outcomes than another person is what puts you ahead of everyone else, not the amount of hours you work. If a student eats 2 Big Macs, a milkshake, and some fries, they are just not going to learn better than another student who didn't overfill their stomach and cause large diversions of blood away from their brain and towards it. Optimizing the hour metric because that's your goal soon makes that metric not useful. Instead, be aware and study how you're doing, and experiment with how to improve your process towards the actual outcomes you want based on first principles. We know that, by principle, working more hours equals regularly worse outcomes. We know that prioritisation and elimination/delegation work, because of the Pareto principle, which is also backed up by the concept of mass 'busy' work. A lot of people do a load of shit that is not important but want to feel busy doing it to make them feel better about their lives. That's attractive to them. Notice how I broke down these tools and their trade-offs by evidence? It's harder to do, but I'm sure if you were fine working 16 hour days you could handle 30 minutes of sharpening your axe?
I recognized that I was suffering from productivity guilt my whole life (not good, busy, productive enough). So in antagonism to my heart-feeling that that coping strategies would not solve my problems, I kept on sabotaging myself. This video comes right on time. It confirms what I always felt true - right in opposition of the current belief of my social environment -. I was f**cking right all the time!! Thanks😊
Same here! Essential also is getting an organizer to write down the whole structure and to-do's etc. Helps me profoundly.
Same here, truly.
Thank you for watching!
I think procrastinators inadvertently have adopted this similar strategy, only the deadline really is the cutoff of time. If you are used to waiting until the last moment, you have become efficient in compressing work. Sometimes, I am amazed at how much I can accomplish in a short period of time when faced with an imminent deadline.
for me, i'm amazed at the work i'm able to pull off in a last minute sprint - sure. i used to be a chronic procrastinator who skated by on what i congratulated myself for as talent. but i knew it would eventually catch up to me. i always knew i could do a lot better had i built into my schedule the time to get that initial draft in early so i have time to review, rethink, and revise. it also frees me from carrying around and accruing the emotional burden of knowing i should be doing something that i'm not. that begins to tax the free time that you thought you'd be enjoying and it introduces unnecessary panic when you finally start to work and need to think clearly. i give myself daily or weekly deadlines along the way (i make a checklist). i go to bed happy and stress-free because i know the schedule is taking care of the overall timeline as long as i complete the few manageable things for each day
It sounds like you still have benefited from the compression skills that resulted from your procrastinator past time. 😁 In either case, I'm not advocating for procrastination. I think most of us have had the relatable journey of procrastination and squeezing massive workloads in a small timeline at some point in their life. Nonetheless, you still know what it takes. You don't have to "learn" some new trendy skill because you already have it.
@@unknownchannel009 you're right, i did develop my little system on my own. and this is a trendy guy delivering the information with trendy marketing trappings, but time management is an essential skill, nonetheless, and a key differentiator between people who consistently deliver and those who eventually get caught with their pants down
Rian is the type of guy who will help you to gain 300x productivity within 6-8 hrs. ❤
Genuine feedback: I have been working directly after waking up, and it works rian, but this needs patience. This will not work if you do it in a week and then skip. As you said, consistency beats intensity, which is really true.
People need to execute this for a longer time, and then the results will show up.
And yes, Rian, thank you so much for providing such premium content for free. You're the next person I follow after sam ovens.❤
Hey! I have also heard him talk about that, but I'm wondering when do you eat? Do you grab a snack to raise your blood sugar levels?
@@Matumark the body needs quite a bit of energy to process what you ate so consuming only coffee/water while you're working should lead to way more focus once you're used to it. If you can’t do the work without any snacks, get fruits or peanuts.Try if intermittent fasting for 12-16h a day works and if it's something you can commit to. Helps with staying in shape and focus once you’re used to it. But if you are going to a gym / bulking or something that might be a bit harder.
I agree with your feedback bro, but idk if it makes much sense to wait for results, what changes? It's a genuine question. I've been doing it for 5 days and feels good every time.
@@arthurgomes-canva2349 maybe it feels good not because of the morning thing itself, but maybe u feel left alone so that feels good? do ur realitves sleep when ur working?
Thank you for watching!
Love it. As a person with chronic illness I’ve had to learn to approach everything differently. I trained as a paramedic then got sick and now trying to build a life.. thanks this is more valuable than you could know.
Thanks for watching.
This entire video really does a great job of articulating something I learned when I was 23.
~Hard work is a habit and if you force yourself to do more or work harder long enough you will eventually adapt and it will get easier allowing you to then add on to your workload even more~
You may think that you cant do any more then what you currently do in 8 hours but there are people out there running multiple businesses, with multiple kids and pounds of responsability and they make it look like nothing.
This is amazing! I was working on my business for hours and I would keep getting distracted because I had hours to work. I did notice the times I had other appointments, I would get more done at times because I had to prioritize and be faster. Too much time allows us to procrastinate more it seems. I'm so excited to implement this! I have needed something like this. Thank you! :)
Most welcome.
I think this can only really work if you start delegating. Probably the real secret is that the guy with Lyme’s disease was able to stop having any guilt over delegating because he had no choice.
I’ve got a lot to revisit in my work day. Much of this is common sense, but framing it, assigning it context, and bringing it to life makes it actionable and, therefore, of value. I’m so grateful I found these videos 🎉
Glad it was helpful!
I work 5 hours a day 4 days a week, mostly from 6a - 11a and experience much of what is discussed here. These insights are helping me crystallize the current and potential benefits of this process.
This video couldn’t have come at a more perfect time. As someone in the creative field this is something I’ve been doing unconsciously lately, so this came more as a confirmation that I’m going in the right direction. Of course it’ll be different for everyone but I think little tweaks and variations to this method to fit with your lifestyle and type of work is still really beneficial.
The law of attraction is in flow by guiding me towards the information that I needed to hear to get back in the game. Outstanding content 🙏
One sec, let me go tell my boss this.
I was about to say this LOL
In India boss would love to see you watering the pond rather than doing any productive work. They don't like to see you free even for one second
Increased Challanged demads Increased Skill, Decreased Hours Increase the Challange, Well said
No se te entiende parece que hablas el idioma de Trabalenguas
I have been addicted to this channel since I stumbled on the first video about the 6 timers. I am so grateful to have found it, It is exactly what I have been needing to hear lately. If you have a book compiling what you teach here I would buy it without a second thought.
Thank you for watching.
I got chronic fatigue syndrome 6 years ago. My life has been utterly empty, with all the time in the world I haven't been able to do anything.
And it's all on me of course, you mentioning lyme in this video really clicked.
This might just be the thing to help me get out of this forever rut.
I wish I could afford a 1 hour one on one, thank you for making these videos.
Parents already have compressed time. I watched this video to inspire myself to use the little time I do have to work on my videos and not feel bad.
Wow, that's impressive! It's truly remarkable when an individual can not only articulate issues more effectively than I can but also provides a strategic approach to solving them. Thank you for your generosity in sharing your knowledge. You've become a fountainhead of innovation, inspiring many entrepreneurs to integrate your wisdom into their practices. I've been influencing tens of thousands of lives through my sexual wellness courses, though I've found it challenging to produce effectively new courses that has been in the backlog, waiting for my effective input. Considering each of the 17,000 viewers may be influencing 10,000 individuals each, that amounts to 170 million lives potentially impacted by your video. I'm deeply appreciative and I bow to your expertise.
Thank you for watching!
Rian is a gem, and the amount of practical advice I gain from this channel is priceless. Thank you ❣
Holy. Shit. Dude. Just decided to try this and set a maximum of 6 hours of work in my day, and not a single second more, and I've rarely been so productive and laser focused on my tasks. Thanks a lot! Wow. Will be implementing this for good. Life-changing.
This fits really well with my anecdotal experience - really insanely productive on the last day before vacation, because there's really no other options. Make every day like that!
🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:
00:00 🕰️ Working more hours doesn't necessarily make you more productive; it can even hinder your productivity.
02:29 🔄 Highly successful people like Oprah Winfrey and Elon Musk are much more productive than their peers but don't work significantly more hours.
04:06 ⏳ Work compression involves reducing your work hours to amplify productivity by focusing on constraints.
05:28 🎯 Lowering your working hours increases the perceived importance of tasks, helping you prioritize better and enter the Flow State.
06:10 ⚖️ Balancing challenge and skill levels is crucial for achieving the Flow State, which boosts productivity.
08:00 🛌 Recovery is an essential part of productivity; removing the obligation to work during off hours accelerates and deepens recovery.
09:05 📅 Implementing work compression involves setting specific working hours, blocking your calendar, and committing to those hours.
11:38 ➖ Reducing work hours can initially lead to challenges and lower productivity, but it can significantly increase output over time by focusing on constraints.

2.29 - - is not really true though is it. Elon has had periods of sleeping at work and often works 120 hour weeks - thats not average.
The half written email example is so good!!
It forced you to optimise how you drafted emails, maybe we all can do this in our life.
Thank you for watching.
This does make sense to me and I'm considering in some way trying it, but my options are limited. I teach, so my work has to be done at specific times. I can't just walk out on my students when my three hours are up. I also don't get to work on my personal goals during my paid work, so that's something I have to do after work. If I only worked three hours I would do my uncreative paid work and then have nothing left for bettering my life. The best option I can think of is to consider the three hours as being the time I spend doing my personal work and not counting the 8 hours of paid as part of the three. Also the 4 hour work week book seems to not even mention people who have scheduled post jobs like waiters, teachers, etc. I wish there was more advice for people like us that don't have office jobs, but have specific scheduled posts that can't be scheduled flexibly. It seems a lot of advice assumes everyone is doing an office job with assignments that can be scheduled flexibly or that they are self employed.
Almost every job in the world is a scheduled post job. It's just that everybody in the entire company has the same schedule (9 am - 5 pm) and the same post (their desk in the company building). But as a teacher, you get several months off a year where you aren't working. There's nothing that says you have to work the same amount of hours day in week out to get results. You just have to keep putting in hours. So work maybe one hour a day on your project during the school year, put in a half hour of planning for the off season, then go balls to the wall on executing that project once your job obligations are minimal.
@@KosstAmojan Yes, to your point that as a teacher I have options and can find time to do my projects, that is correct. My point wasn't that I don't have options. My point was that I don't have the option to follow the specific advice on this video with my current job. My point was that the video seems to be specifically for people that have a job where they work independently getting assignments done as opposed to a type of job where you have to do a specific thing at a very specific time during the day. I'm not saying those people don't have options, I'm just saying this specific advice in the video is not an option for them. And as far as, "everybody in the entire company has the same schedule (9 am - 5 pm) and the same post (their desk in the company building)." that I don't agree with. Many people do not work 9am to 5pm. And many people do not work at a desk and many people don't even have a desk at work. Some people work the cash register. Some people run deliveries. Some people have to be on their feet as security guards. That's what I was saying. We cant' assume everyone works by independently completing assignments at a desk.
Rian, what a great content. Without a doubt, one of the best in this space. You should probably have MANY more subscribers. I will make sure people in my circle know about you.
I appreciate your support and viewership!
I am actually suffering from productivity guilt and I am really looking forward to try this out.
I really enjoy the UA-cam community so much and how some show others so much love
I love these ideas conceptually, it’s just… there’s such an insane privilege in not having to work hourly. Having the flexibility with time to then prioritize at all. They talk about handing off tasks to others - but what if you’re the person getting the things handed off to?
These kind of videos are for bosses who want to do less and make their general workers do more which is just… clearly not where it’s at.
Kinda doesn't make sense to try and be more productive if you work an hourly job and get paid hourly, whether or not you're productive you still get paid the same. This is more so if you're trying to start a business, work on commission, have a personal creative project or a side hustle you're trying to be more productive with. It even works if you're trying to be more productive with chores and housework. You develop more efficient ways of cleaning when u only have 30 mins to get your place as clean as u can as opposed to an hour etc..
Rian, PLEASE address how these can happen if you work from home, and have babies, young kids, and constant interruptions, and can't afford childcare. Go!
Thank you. This is absolutely brilliant. 🙏🏾 The most exciting bit about it: when this becomes your nature, and you don’t even have to “think” about it or “do” anything. Like nature or an ecosystem. This will revolutionize the way organizations operate. Humans and organizations won’t just survive or get by; they will thrive. 🌎
How beautiful that your friend’s challenge became GOLD for perhaps thousands and millions. ✨
Wonderful!
Great that you mentioned the "productivity guilt"
By specifying my work hours to a set amount, hopefully I'll be able to overcome it
Thanks for making these videos Arian, been subscribed to the flow research collective newsletter for quite a while now and Steven Kotlers Art of impossible is the best thing I ever discovered.
Welcome.
As a 20 entrepreneur with a super creative mind and massive network of support, the biggest issue in my work life is going 1000% into a wicked new idea in a mental state of 16 hour days back to back. Full of excitement and bright eyes... Only to hate the work life it creates for me. I suck at delegating and I love this max hours idea a lot. It will force me to learn to outsource and therefore get more done. Thanks so much Rian.
Have you implemented the hours limit idea? How many hours a day do you work now? Has your productivity increased? Curious, as from the way you were working it would be interesting to see what has happened.
And no ego at all.
This channel NEEDS 1M subs!!! Such high-quality videos and information!!
I appreciate your support and viewership!
Nailed it. I got married and delegated it all to my wife. Now I just read, eat good food, and buy stuff on Amazon.
This video just took up 7% of my 3 hours!
Great video! This hit home as I was diagnosed with Lyme this year and have been struggling to find new ways to survive the work day. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
This video was exceptional, truly. Best channel on youtube!
Thank you for watching!
this channel will blew up faster than any productivity channel out there
Thank you for watching!
Thanks, Rian. Got to do it again even though my team has been taken from me, hence rebuilding my own out of the office I have been working for since early 1990. Love this channel just have just found it, should be earlier. Cheers!
Thank you for watching!
A few years ago, I started working 24 in 7, not 24/7. Basically, I only let myself work four hours a day. The stricter I am with the rule, the more stuff I get done. The best part is that you are excited for your next work shift. I now only hire people for 20 hours a week as well.
You only hire people for 20 hours per week. How do they like living on half an income, or do you pay them double?
Mind-blowing stuff. Who knew? I'm gonna test this out and see what happens.
I appreciate your support and viewership!
This channel is soo underrated...bro deserve more
I appreciate that!
This channel is a gem!
Thank you.
This is the same thing that I used to do in school. The teacher would give us this big research project in June and it would be due in 2 months and literally the day before, I'd be so focused and I actually pull an All-nighter and Id get it done. Basically in that moment, I don't care about 'productivity', or flow state, or routines ect. I had a project, and I had to finish it. 🤷
How is it the same?
Did you spend all the time leading up to it thinking about the most efficient way to do the project then executed?
I was the same at college: I left things to the last minute. That is not the same as setting regular times to do a task so there is space in between for the unconscious mind to work on how to do it/make it better next time you come to it. I did not produce my best work that way. And I would not be able to do that every week.
But what did that project score.
wow.. this is profound.. never really heard anyone talking about working less hours to be more productive , but it makes sense. I guess its kind like the 10x rule. Thanks mate awesome stuff. Got a new sub
This works for people who have control of their own time. This doesn't work for the hourly wage slave.
"Wage slave" is a hilariously dramatic term used by lazy, entitled and untalented commies who think entry level job skills is a career goal.
The term "wage slave" also grossly whitewashes and downplays the historical meaning of slavery.
Mad about inflation and its resulting high cost-of-living? You can thank Democrat Socialist-lite monetary and foreign policies.
This productivity hack works for anyone who actually has goals and the competence to achieve them.
If you have time to watch youtube videos and whine in the comment section you clearly have enough free time to work on developing better trade skills.
Agree with Rian - the man is a genius …
Your channeling is booming/will boom because the content is high quality and at the right time for everyone.
I appreciate your support and viewership!
Procrastinators like me have a natural way of work compression, waiting for the deadline actually helps us do work faster by making the deadline more threatening, making us work faster and make our work more compressed to satisfy the deadline and finish all our work in the given timeframe.
I can't imagine how your advice could be implemented in real life. Most employers probably won't allow this. But creating your own business is an unsuccessful strategy; more than 90% of all businesses fail in the first year of existence.
Try google searching your own argument. Many resources say only 20% fail in the first year and about 50% fail in the first 5 years. The biggest issue with starting a small business is that unless you have a lot of capital, you need to start a business with a low over-head. Think professional skills businesses. If you have a professional skill, you are selling yourself rather than a product.
@@nathannewman6555 First you need to find out what country we are talking about. But it doesn't matter. I have no professional skills. I have average skill, I'm not a professional. I don’t know how to take risks and build initiative, I can’t rally people around me. This video is suitable for the vast minority, for the majority of people it is useless and harmful. A machine worker, a cook, an ambulance driver, a loader, many other people cannot work 3 hours a day, regardless of their efforts and motivation. Most people now work in useless jobs (read David Graeber), minimum initiative, minimum usefulness, just come and go. This also includes sellers in newspaper stalls, system administrators, and various managers. The only advice that can increase their life time by reducing working time is to read a book or fantasize while idle at work.
The video implies that you are your own boss already or at least that you're not salaried.
I've had a job where 16 hour days didn't bother me, but other jobs where I checked the clock every couple minutes. It depends on how much you love what you do.
Gem Bro, I'm gonna watch this video everyday for next 10 days
😂😂 classic trope of being “productive” by watching productivity videos
If you ain't on grind you can't feel this video
Go for it❤
I appreciate your support and viewership!
@@Darkcamera45exactly lol.
I like this a lot and also suffer from overworking and becoming numb. Which leads to more time to recover from overthinking and exhaustion. But I will say I feel this works when you have a true passion for what you do. It starts with the job itself, without the passion or passion of challenges, this could be hard to accomplish. Also, I do hear about some of these successful people in the video with others are known to overwork employees. If they have "tapped in" wouldn't they want their culture and employees to follow the same structure for this output? But again, I love this work ethic and will start to implement this into my own work. Thank you for this.
Thank youuu! Such an amazing video! I learned so much
You're so welcome!
This is one of the most important videos I've ever seen. I knew all this but I couldn't articulate it this way. Thank you!
You're so welcome!
Your points are good. However, people might interpret your message to suit their own convenience. As you may know, a few decades ago, in many countries, the working hours were more than 12 hours per day. After research and various discussions, this was reduced to 8 hours for the time being. The reason cited was to increase productivity by working fewer hours. Now, you are suggesting reducing 8 hours to 3 hours.
The point is, your research will truly benefit those who are focused and diligent. For individuals who are not as motivated, even a 3-hour workday might not lead to high productivity, as they may still find reasons for low output.
Furthermore, your suggestions might only be applicable to a small fraction of the workforce. It won't be relevant for the majority. For instance, a truck driver needs to work longer hours to cover more distance. A front desk person should work more hours to cater to more people, and so on. I believe you understand what I'm trying to express.
Your points are welcome, but they seem applicable to a very minimal percentage of the workforce. As you're aware, Elon Musk reportedly works more than 20 hours a day. Does this mean he's unproductive? Imagine if he worked only 3 hours based on your recommendation.
Your points are valid, but they shouldn't be applied universally to all workforces.
Amazing advice as always 🎉
Thank you for watching!
Hey Rian, found your channel and I find it‘S one of the highest value per minute on youtube (maybe after huberman) so thanx!
Thank you for watching!
My fellow Irish friend, you’ve been serving up some valuable nuggets. At time of writing you’re at just under 100k subs, I’m happy to put money down you’ll be at 250k in the next 18 months 👍
Thank you.
At 232K subs now only 3 month's after your post!
THANK YOU SO MUCH, YOU ARE EDUCATING FUTURE LEGENDS OF OUR ERA
This channel totally deserves more views!!
Thank you for watching!
I loved that video! 😊 And I'm asking myself what to do, if firstly your company expects you to work more hours than you have chosen for yourself, and secondly if you work in a setting where you have nobody you can delegate work to?
Hmm, many of these things sound well and good, however I suspect that there is a huge variability between individuals. From personal experience I can say that I can consistently achieve flow by working far more than those 3 hours per day. My main issue for reaching flow are environmental distractions and meetings rather than being tired; but overal I agree that we should have boundaries for our worktime.
for me, i've definitely seen the environmental effects. in college, as long as i stayed on campus, i could get stay on task and get work done the whole day until dark. as soon as i go home, i cannot for the life of me even read or write a single paragraph. though i do think he is suggesting the level of efficiency and effectiveness can be improved even further by reducing the number of hours allotted for each task
Watched every single one of ur vids n bro keep it up, idk it's something about you that makes me wanna watch u more ( I feel like I know u 😂😭)
I appreciate your support and viewership!
Was pushing a to do up for a month or two bc it was some excessive tedious bs. Tried the stopwatch and was done in under 2h.
Was always interested in the raw scientific controlability of psychology-switches but wouldn't have dreamed that people already figured it that much.
What a time to be allive to have centuries of wisdom at a click.
I went from 16 hours to 2 three hour work periods and maybe an hour (tops) at night. Twice as productive and much happier.
Huge win!
This video just came out out of nowhere lol Im glad it did.
It gave me a new perspective on things
Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video! Love Steven's work as well. Never put it together that you guys work together. Subbed.
Thank you for watching!
This makes sense I agree with compressing the schedule
Glad I found your channel, keep up!!
Thank you.
New favorite channel, will blow up soon
I appreciate your support and viewership!
you are godly! amazing! i thought i was crazy all my life but now all the sudden everything makes sense.
Thank you for the support.
Hands up everyone already working 0 hours and wondering how to compress that into negative hrs 🤚
My man!
This is great when you have control over your own schedule but how does (or can) this be applied to forced work schedules of 8 hour days?
It would seem this concept only works if you are your own boss or have the flexibility to adjust your time at work. Line workers, cooks, waiters, baristas, teachers, etc. etc. just don't have that flexibility.
Any suggestions for this type of work?
Yea, I was wondering this too. I'm surprised how few people have this question and how much it's assumed that everyone has an office type job that's flexible assignment based rather than having required time on a post, like the jobs you described which is like my work.
We're not the target audience. The fixed hours are part of the salaried contract. As soon as you are payed based on KPIs and not hours, then this can be looked into.
That leaderboard on 4RA? Got my name up there last week, felt like a king 👑
I am gonna try this today
"Consistency over Intensity! That could be considered the 'Eighth Wonder of the World!'"
Stoked to have caught this video ❤ im excited to try this with my family in our homeschool ❤
Hope you like it!
amazing channel! just shared it with all my mates!
Much appreciated!
Excellent video- thank you. This would seem to me exactly the lesson I needed to absorb at my current new business-venture life situation. Cheers I look forward to seeing more of your content.
You're very welcome!
The way 4RA displays stats and info, makes deciding bets so much easier 📊
Love this concept. But when you have to tap in and tap out of the office, extremely hard to do as they will just minus your pay to unpaid leave for leaving early.
Sir please always post this types of self development video 😊😊
These videos have been really useful!!
Thank you for watching!
There is a huge floor I see!!!
This seems to only link to controlled environments…
I’m a farmer
And there is always more to be done!
And it all takes time!
I work 14hours a day to just make sure everything is fed and everything is done.
Would like to discuss if you see this message?

I really love this Rian I always work all day and night til midnight or later as an entrepreneur I do need to do this. Thank you 🎉 great video
You're so welcome!
Love this content!
Thanks for watching.
this goes with what you said about stopping to recover in other videos in more detail. .I guess many people can benefit from that who overexercise, overeat, etc. find that point, such as archemides discovered and call it a day. interesting about parkinsons law, that what we do fits into a timeframe... so by creating time constraints we may get into a deeper flow. the subconscious/unconscious often does our thinking for us, when we give it time. the idea of subtracting hours also might create the effect of increased focus and therefore relaxation. flow state is a bit like Wu Wei the chinese name for doing "without doing". i wonder if it works in little ways as well like writing a song. when you say work, I often wonder- how diverse this term can be... for me it is music, and qi gong.
11:04 thats actually so smart you are like thinking about that email the whole day and are forced to think how you could write it better
