"The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time." -Bertrand Russell. I am retired. I did not enjoy much of my nearly 50 years of work life, my so called productive time, it was pretty much wasted time. I have a kinda significant savings that I don't use and don't intend to ever use. I have been living on about $1,500 a month for the last 6 six years and I have never been happier. (I live in South America) Anyway I learned the hard way which I don't think many people learn is that being productive is bullshit, it is a false value created for you by the powers that be. Being content is the most important thing in the world, whatever it takes.
Well put
Yes, well if we were to actually enjoy it, perhaps it would be time well spent. But we dont do sports, act or paint, we rot on social media or sleep. It's time wasted based on people's own definitions/
As long as your "contentment" does not interfere with the rights of others. Kudos to you sir! And Dr. Peterson here forgot the most important fact about time: IT IS RELATIVE!!! I would love to see a master quantum physicist in the Joe Rogan podcast. That would be cool.
Well, if you're not gonna use it and you're actually well healed, hand some over. I'll show ya how to use it. 😂
I don’t think it’s complete bullshit but I agree with your contentment part. Glad you’ve figured it out for yourself brother.
I think everyone in the comments is forgetting what he said in the beginning, he didn’t define anyone’s wasted time, they defined it themselves. It’s your own perception of what is a waste or not, to each their own. If you’re not content, change. If you are, you’re doing better than most people.
Thank you. The comment I was looking for. How do so many miss this?
yes he defines what is a waste of time by putting a price tag on your time. According to his statement every hour you're not working you're wasting your time.
@@gavinmcinnes9750 What defines work? Everyone has their own “work”. I can relax on my bed and meditate for an hour and call it working on my mental health. Someone else might call that a waste of time.
@@FlashProductionz I'm talking about Peterson's definition, he puts a price tag on it $50 an hour, if someone pays you that amount for relaxing and meditating that counts as not wasting your time in Peterson's book, at least according to this one clip.
@@gavinmcinnes9750 Yes, if you have a very shallow understanding of what Peterson is expressing here.

@@Shortsdopaminechaser the way you care when a random person asked a question
I don't think I'm wasting any time.
I've never thought about time as being wasted away... I'm just living life
Take it from someone that couldn't resist temptation and wasted an entire decade. The worst part is, once you've dug a hole for yourself, it gets increasingly difficult to climb out of it. Somehow, we need to incorporate Jordan Petersons work into every young person.
Yes I absolutely feel that. The longer you wait the harder it’s going to be
My problem is, i know exactly the type of hell i am ending up in 2 years from now. But that does not scare me at all. I just don't care anymore what happens next. How do you even fix that?
@@mezjean5966You’re not extrapolating hard enough. Keep following the thread, and also don’t just think about the hell itself, but how you feel in that hell.
Also, same for your heaven. Consider what it might feel like to have that taken away, and know that you’re very capable of doing so.
Just some random advice man, hope this helps and don’t read too much into it if it doesn’t sit right with you, just trying to help you think through this brotha
Then you will have even more unhappy young people. Wasting time on healthy things such as walks in nature, that dont give you ”income” in money is the gift of life. Not becoming a productivity machine like Peterson is talking about.
Word.
No matter what we do in life, try to accomplish or don't. We're all just killing time until the end. I believe in making enough to be comfortable but certainly don't want to spend every waking second chasing money.
Hi. Good point, but life is not just about money... people hear money.... but life being productive can be about becoming a better person, learning about life and how to be better (read, study, educate yourself), having children, doing your best for your chidren, doing things that are good for the plant, etc. and when you are relaxing doing it in a way that keeps you productive .... dont exhaust yourself.... sleep well, eat well, cook, take care of your health, keep your home clean to a good level... etc... all of that is being productive.... some of it for you, some of it for your family, some of it for society, some of it for humanity. I work in healthcare and see that many people overwork in their jobs, dont eat well, dont cook, dont even go for walks, let alone exercise and end up very sick and even dependent on others and sometimes even on dissability payments because they did not take care of themselves properly.... Focusing only on money and work as the meaning of productive can be dangerous..... (it seems to me)..... VALUES.... there are Spiritual/religious meanings to life and then there is - The biological MEANING OF LIFE is (I have found and come to believe): SURVIVAL..... The survival of the individual, the family/clan, the nation (genetically) and of mankind as a species --- and if that is not a meaning for you..... perhaps because all you see is the suffering.... then its possible to be productive be helping decrease people's suffering... eg. work at a hospice.... help at a hospice...
Well what else is JP going to talk about to justify his existence? He has to make people feel like they aren't good enough in order to maximize his income.
Looking for the truth is what it’sall about . How we go about it, it’s a personal decision.
@@DjZephy he literally didn't say anything like that
"killing time" glad I'm not the only one that has had this thought. My problem is I think about it too often. Didn't when I was younger, To be young and dumb and innocent....what a thing to yearn for.......
Hobbies are the real MVP! Oh..and not having to go work (I'm retired) that helps too. I wake up everyday and do what I want when I want..but I NEVER waste time..everything I do is with purpose 🎉
Social media is a big fucking problem. It's about 500 thousand people being paid to make bullshit videos where you don't learn shit and those 500 thousand people are entertaining 5 million. Best thing to do is look for shit that feeds the mind. JOE you are one of those people that actually makes videos where you can learn something. Thank you !
Well said! Amazing isn't it? 😂 I think people want content but are also lazy and want to be entertained. We need good content outlets!
And most of the 🐑 will aimlessly comment on damn near every piece of shit video they see. Even when it’s obvious that video was made specifically to collect comments
All the AI bs is getting way out of hand. My philosophy is it's people in poverty (south America, middle east etc) making quick vids to feed their family. This isn't wrong, it's YT
Ppl in poverty are making videos is your philosophy?
lol.
Finding a good person to spend my life with, I’ve found is the most fulfilling.
That’s usually hopeless
But good for you
Yeah, good for you
One of my favourite self-help books is Outwitting the Devil by Napoleon Hill. In this book, he outlines 'drifting' as the way the devil ensnares you, much like what Dr. Peterson talks about here. The best thing about the book is the way it's written as a conversation with the devil, which makes it compelling for younger people, and more persuasive than the average know-it-all book.
hell is a circleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Yeah however a person classifies his wasted time or self destructive behavior you can't blame it on the "devil".
@@halweilbrenner9926blame is never belonging to one source. This is not the place for the topic of "does the devil exist or not" however it is easy to agree upon the fact that if there were a devil, wasting our time (especially with self indulgence and lack of discipline ) would be something used and pushed upon us.
@@halweilbrenner9926 You can blame it on you letting the devil in.
@@halweilbrenner9926 'the devil' is a methapor for...not doing what is best for your ownself. its more like controled dicipline created by your personal'planned routine for day to day.

I feel naps are a great way to spend time. Others disagree. Well you’re missing out.
nothing wrong with napping, Jordan used to do it to, just make sure it is a nap (less than 40 mins) and not half a night sleep
@@N7Slayeryou need to study and do research on sleep. It takes a least a hour and a half to reset your brain. If you interrupt that process you wake up super groggy and slightly confused and not firing on all cylinders
@@justinwinningham4892 yes, it does, but the brain "turns off" at the 40 min mark and back on at 1h30 like you said, so, if you wake from your nap before the brain turns off, you'll be just dandy.
@@N7Slayer So, I either nap for 40 minutes, or an hour and a half? I’ll take the hour and a half
@@karmine3640you’re best to keep naps short (less that 30 and ideally less than 20) so as to not interrupt the night time sleep that is so important for your health. Plus if you can get past the hard bit and pull yourself out of the sleep inertia after 20 minutes you’ll genuinely feel amazing, at least from my experience
Earlier in my career I drove a lot as an outside sales rep. 30-60k miles a year. I did the math with the amount of time I was staring at the windshield listening to music. It was staggering. So I just said to myself I'll spend half of that time learning. 10 years of that made me such a more valuable professional. It makes so much sense for anybody to reinvest in themselves when there are opportunities to do so
When all is said and done.
More is said, than done.
And then what is done was probably pointless. What a FN paradox.

Waste of time
Only the person who wastes his life left and right could say its a waste of time.
@@JustDaniel6764ha ha
I've been doing this exercise with trainees and mentees for 2 decades. I go over a list such as personal phone calls, cigarette breaks, social media checks, etc... then ask them to write things they believe is a waste and their reactions are always priceless.
So they should work harder at their job and not take any breaks so they don’t waste the owners time and money not their own time and money is what you are saying right ?
@crowdedveins9210 No one should be trying to waste anyone's time or money. The purpose of the exercise is to show how much time they waste throughout the day that could be spent on something more productive. Especially those that make commissions or bonuses.
For example: Let's say you want to check on your kids when they get off school so you take a 15-minute break every day, I encourage this with my staff as I believe family is a top priority.
You waste about 15 mins when you get in every day just getting ready to start working.
Set up what's needed the night before so you can avoid wasting those minutes and use it to call your kids.
If you take a 15-minute smoke break and talk to co-workers for another 10, that's time that could be spent making more sales for your bonus.
I could give tons of examples but if anyone's goal is to waste the owners money, you're fired
I’ve wasted a lot of time listening to Jordan Peterson on you tube 😅
Interesting that you feel that way. If you ask me, I have not wasted a single moment listening to him. Quite the contrary!
I’d say spent
That’s better. Think of your time like currency. Attention, or focus = the ultimate currency. Same reason you get paid for your time spent working.
Same girly pop, same
I think you're just one of those people that just comment for likes
I only feel like I'm wasting time when I'm at work, making money, because that is the only time I'm not free to do what I want.
It's called life, one of these days your going to wish you were there
But then ON THIS planet, if you don’t have money, it seems like you can’t stretch out all the way.
Sounds healthy. I see too many people who have no life outside of work. They should actually be paying their employer. 😮
Make money in a way,you enjoy
@@E_Clampus_VitusI think slave owners had the same philosophy as you.
I'm really hard on myself if my daily productivity is low. Even on my days off. I curse myself if I sleep till 9am. I'm my own worst enemy if I don't feel productive.
Nobody asked you anything yet you felt the need to comment on this video. Stop wasting time bro. Stay hard... on yourself.
I’m hard on myself as well but you shouldn’t feel the need to be productive 24/7. Don’t listen to the first comment. YOU are allowed to SPEND TIME however YOU WANT, if you enjoyed that time then it was time well spent. Also if you didn’t achieve something in a day don’t beat yourself up, no one is holding you up to “being productive”. Instead look at it as you trying your best and will do it again tomorrow
Anyone who speaks in productivity terms must be a machine.
Everybody is different. Do what you like. It is not worthy to force yourself
I don't waste time, i am just using it consciously and i just watch videos what i need for my improvement
That guy is a wizard. Wish I had him or someone like him in high school. In their absence, it took me decades to learn the principles he outlined in 7 minutes.
Act first, ladies and gents, then motivation will follow.
Thank you for sharing. It's beyond valuable to be able to read someone's thought from decades of experience. If I ever had a wish, I wish I was so content I never needed anymore wishes.
I am. and I have wasted 90% of my life doing nothing.
Manipulating time would mine.
Great comment.
The advice that this man consistently drops is just so good. It’s a shame people get caught up in the minor missteps of others and lose sight of the greater good
So how have you put it to Actual use? Besides it making you “feel” good, how has it advanced your life?
@@NoLineNoWait123AbC if it were to do nothing else but make someone feel good, would that be such a waste?
@@nathanbarnier , heroin makes people feel good for a moment. Let’s think about that and maybe you can answer my original question.

I especially like the part where Joe Rogan’s mind is completely blown by what Jordan Peterson said, just like was promised in the title.

Some people think sleep is a waste of time; wasting time can be a good use of time.
I feel like I've wasted my whole life... I'm still good. No matter no worries 😂😢😮
Peace
nothing is really a waste if your happy in the present moment. half the people thinking they need to rich to be happy just end up dissapointed because when they make it they relise they were just chasimg it because someone told them thats what would make them happy. of course aim to grow, but accept that life is just a ride. your not suppose to be floating on a cloud the whole time, just find peace in yourself. fuck everyone elses standards.
If you have passive income, you can sleep while you make money
'Wasting' and 'good use'will never be on the same side
I love a good nap
There are several other benefits to limiting your goals.
e.g. "I will clean my room for 5 minutes."
Once you get into it, it's tempting to go for longer.
But if you do that, you break the agreement with yourself.
So next time you say I'll only do 5 minutes, you can't trust yourself anymore.
That trust is far more valuable than getting a few extra minutes of work done.
The next day, you know it's truly only 5 minutes, and it won't magically turn into another long dreadful work session.
Another aspect is the time pressure focuses you. And inverting it from "I have to do X for Y time" to "I only have Y time to do X", it turns it into a game, a challenge.
"I only have 5 minutes to clean my room."
How much can I clean in 5 minutes?
How much focused work can I get done in 30 minutes?
(Unrelated: Paradoxically I found studying for 45+ minutes much easier than 15-30, because it takes me about an hour to develop deep focus.)
"Wasting" is a term that is vastly overused these days. Just because you aren't working doesn't mean you are wasting time. If you feel you are wasting your time, then you are. We get to choose what defines wasting. Not others. If you are seeking a proper balance between work and the rest of your life then that time is not wasted. We are just poorly informed and bred to be easily guilted into doing something, even if it's wrong.
Mmm... Sounds plausible, but I stand by "the alternative is worse" that Jordan states, because really redefining something is not that simply, you have to negociate that with yourself to not feel like it is a lie first, and then with society cause that's how you can maintain sanity and keep being sorrounded by people that are willing to help you
That is your personal choice to believe. It does not make it universally true. I personally reject that premise. Much of what we believe individually is really just silliness based on lies we believe and haven't recognized yet. It's just part of the human experience. No one, including JP has it all figured out. @@BrenGear
I'm not saying there is no such thing as wasting time. I just believe that people feeling guilty about what they, "should be doing," every time they try to relax for a couple of hours is counter productive, and happens in way too often. We run around like little ants, having never contemplated why we do what we do and why we still aren't content no matter how much we do. The problem and solution IMO are within. @@francodangelo2874
Spent 30 years as an extreme endurance athlete training countless hours daily to achieve more, be faster, get stronger.
Now in my late fifties I am in a constant state of chronic pain from the laundry list of injuries accumulated along the way. Speaking from experience slow it down a little, stop for a drink, take a picture of the scenery, have lunch a cafe and enjoy the ride that is life. We are human beings not human doings
@@jameszayas9773you may be sore but I'm sure you have a super healthy heart!
Changed the way I look at life in 5 minutes, I must be a stubborn 30 year old if all it takes is to listen to one of Joe’s podcasts. I like the way this guy thinks and wants to help people to think, so effortlessly 👌
Universities should ban toxic gender studies courses and replace them with productivity courses. For most people, you don't realise these things until late 20s/early 30s if EVER. I started university and literally knew nothing about the world, why I was studying this course, I was bit lost, and I think most people are. When you're young you don't really know WHY your doing anything. We need more educators that can help us (without dictating to us) how to navigate our lives.
I as a 55 year old man thats been in the workforces since 1987...Ive realized how much time I've wasted persueing personal pleasure..I was just offered an job i cant turn down,after being a important employee at my current job..It was an easy decision to leave my current position because my current job has no advancement or challenge to my skill level..I did my research and thought of the pros and cons of leabing my current job.I know the hrass isnt always greener on the other side.Yet my mind and soul told me to take the risk and push myself to my limits to make my future more satisfying and i embrace the opportunity....I could stay at my current job,but ive lost my drive because of the lack of a challenge there...Like the band Yes says in one of their songs..It says" Theres no need to be lonely,you have to want to succeed!"..Well ive always strived to succeed....
That was an amazing video. Really opened my mind to new perspectives. I love the idea of establishing a goal for 3 to 5 years ahead, but also establishing a goal of following the wrong path, our bad habits of 3 to 5 years. Doing that gives far more motivation to the heaven, and scares you away from the hellish reality. Jordan you’re great and Joe you ask brilliant questions and create amazing chats. Welldone to you both for helping us all, to become better people to ourselves and society, which ultimately gets us closer to the concept of a happier society worldwide. Less wars, more love.
Kind regards

I learned the hard way that I must take time to minimize commitments and or responsibilities and use that time to focus on relieving stress, relaxing, having fun, and preventing burnout. Best medical advice I ever got.
It is all about what you perceive as productive. A monk may find a full day of meditation as productive. Some may find just waking up and spending a day chilling at the beach just watching the waves as productive because you are doing exactly what you planned and or want to do.
I am generally stressed when doing something I HAVE to do. Instead of doing what I want to be doing at that time. When driving on the freeway trying to get to wherever each is going in that early morning rush hour traffic, I love when I see someone with one of those license plate frames and bumper stickers that say, “I’d rather be ………….” I say to my self, “Yeah, I am so with you on that, I’d rather be doing ….. whatever it is I would want to be doing at that time also.
I have found that I am happiest and most relaxed when I am doing exactly what I want to be doing at the time, even if that is just sitting on the couch binge watching a show. I am doing what I want to do when I want to do it. And I no longer feel guilty about it. Others may find it unproductive by their standards, that is their problem. I no longer allow the beliefs of others to try to guilt, dictate and control my thoughts about myself. (I am productive in self care, taking a mental health day and treating myself to what I wanted to do.
Take a sheet of paper write down 1 year goals, 5 year goals and 10 year goals. Then get yourself a calendar and start putting dates/times on there for events that pertain to said goals. If it's on the calendar, you do it, before anything else. As time goes on, reflect on your goals: cross off the one's you've completed, adjust what needs adjusting. Sounds simple, but so many people avoid doing this. Do it and you'll be amazed.
That's probably the most motivating conversation I've heard in quite some time. Well done 👏, all youth should take some time to listen AND contemplate this
Who works 85 hours a week ???
I have my entire life, id rather rot then participate in this bizarre inhuman schedule for a lifetime.
@@shane1067, I’m with you, but I just can’t tap out like a quitter.
Shame and embarressment are factors for me that i am not getting the things done that i am meant to but ive discovered my energy levels is what is affecting me most. So i do things i have too in short bursts and rest whenever i can. I have managed to do things ive left for years and my mental health has improved because im making my bed everyday. Something l actually learned while incarcerated before i knew anything about peterson. I realised i can have a routine and be tidy and be in control. Greatest introspection ive ever had. Lessons learned in the most ironic of ways. 😊 peterson makes sense when he speaks and it just sounds intelligibly correct. Good stuff
I get his larger point, but people are not machines. They need their down time and they need a social life. Most people have the most fun in their lives when they are young, so investing all your time for the future can rob you of the best time of your life. Maybe a little balance.
He does say that wasted time is defined by the person, not by him. So if you feel you need an hour of watching mindless videos to recover from work, then obvs that hour isn't wasted time. But anything beyond that would be. So his job then as a clinical psychiatrist would be to help you reach your own goal of watching no more than an hour of mindless videos and then continue doing what you yourself have defined as productive work.
@@MrOod67 You can't assume the individual is capable of appropriately designating what is and isn't waste. In a hyper-capitalist society, of course they're going to embody beliefs about time wasted specific to capitalist social mores. It really is true, Jordan Peterson is a dumb person's, smart person.
You could make an argument about encouraging 'optimization' as conditioning people to love their slavery and become more efficient cogs. If I increase my work week to 41 hours then you're going to increase yours to 42 in order to remain competitive; creating a race to the bottom Moloch Dilemma with actually unqualifiable consequences. I don't know how people listen to this guy without seeing the fundamental problems in his beliefs about how the world, or people, ought to function.
Another argument you could make is that down-time is when creativity peaks and so down-time is necessary for creativity. There are really many ways to approach why this is a naive take on performance and how people ought to be (even if self-diagnosed, which is generally regarded as the least credible form of diagnosis).
Enjoying life is not a waste of time. Doing nothing or less without joy is a waste of time
@@MrOod67to all the people saying you need to have down time and have fun....i encourage you to explore more of his material...in numerous other discussions on this topic he absolutely stresses the importance of leisure/relaxation...he says to actually schedule time for it....his whole point is to live life with intentionality....not just drifting and being distracted by each shiny object that pops up...smartphones etc. have just made it WAAAY to easy to get distracted....i cant count how many times i have picked up my smartphone to search for something useful and, an hour later (after following suggested video after suggested video) forgot what i was even originally searching for...and then, just like he said, feeling defeated for wasting so much time....hes trying to help people not be victims of their own impulsivity (which is a huge problem nowadays)
@@rossl9866 I have actually watched loads of his videos, and I agree that's indeed what he says, and I don't think this video goes counter to his general point either. So I think we are in agreement, not sure if there is anything I wrote earlier that suggests otherwise.
His words are more valuable than gold for a teenager of today. And sure, life teaches you everything he said anyways, but sometimes its too late to learn. I wonder if i may send my little brother this video..
Got damn this was a great video. I’m in a terminal in Ft. Lauderdale coming from Puerto Rico going back home to LA in like 7hours and this video 🤯because I’m in the transition period of my own little “hell” financially getting my business up and going. I’m also in that transition period where family, lady friend, want to do so much, but I have to figure out what’s more important fun and trips spending money I don’t have as I’m already in a struggle. Or buckle down humble myself turn down stuff and focus on the building of my business and brand so I can be where “I” want to be years from now. This gentleman showed me time is very precious. Though I knew this already the way he broke it down man….
This is odd I’m from Ft. Lauderdale in LA heading to PR.
Love you Jordan... I love listening to you
The most useful idea I found about creating and maintaining a habit is from the book "Atomic habits". So let's say you are trying to quit smoking. Instead of thinking "I'm not going to smoke", you say "I'm not the kind of guy who smokes". It's small change in the wording but it changes the whole framing in you brain. It's basically a shift in identity which from my own experience I've found works way better than trying to coerce myself into doing or not doing something.
It seems that the overall significance here is that the productivity in which Jordan Peterson is going for here is that the time for productivity fits your overall intended goal or purpose. It seems many people misinterpret “productivity” as if it has to do with some type of employment or something similar to that.
The overall productivity is subjected to the person enabling the productivity for themselves to fit an overall objective goal.
Now how wasted time is seen in such an equation is only prevalent to the person able to recognize that error for themselves.
This is a great way of setting your mental discipline into motion to drive yourself to a goal oriented mindset that will encapsulate your overall personal lifetime achievement processing
What you and JP fail to realize that in this undisclosed amount of time wasted, is time for rest and relaxation (not sleep). Essentially you are asking your body to sacrifice and suffer in the times you normally chose to recharge or decompress. You have to be strong mentally to focus on the goal in the future rather than the pain in the present. And now you know why people “waste half their life.”
@@tomfoolery7438 you missed the part in my comment saying:
“The overall productivity is subjected to the person enabling the productivity for themselves to fit an overall objective goal.”
Which means that productivity is *subjective* to the person to reach their objective. So how they achieve the objective is concurrent with their overall actions, intentions, then finally the achievement. If it takes time, recovery, patience, or whatever that is necessary in some aspects when planned accordingly with the person enabling the drive to their goal. Of course we can’t constantly keep going productively as even successful people plan their sleep as to gain enough rest to tackle what they had in mind for future tasks ahead of their schedule.
It isn’t intricately said here but implies however dissecting for the answer is what I helped with my comment to make it be put more clearly to the broader overall complex spectrum of the topic
I stopped complaining about wasting my time, when it comes to things i dont want to do, because one day im going to be old and wish i had that time, so i try and enjoy every moment
I've thought like this my whole life. I waste a lot of time by social standards, but I'm happy. So for me, I've wasted nothing.
I'm relieved that what I consider as wasted time is in a different placement on the continuum than Mr. Petersons and most people. It helps to work all the dynamics he lists and considering his advice is very important and helpful. Formulate your own opinion and perspective honestly knowing when to be gentle when to be critical and you ultimately define your own definition of what wasted time is not anyone else not society not the government not the ego or anyone other than you this is your life don't be foolish enough to use someone else's definition of what wasted time is for you and being hard on yourself can help and hurt. Listen and consider and use others opinion of what waste is and make an honest comparitive analysis if you must but never fail to understand this is your life and you decide what wasted time is for you.
What constitutes 'wasting time'? Is it a waste of time to go out socialising when you learn the lessons of social interaction? Is it wasting time to rest your body/mind when you're "burned out"? No time is a waste if you have a suitable work/life balance and, to the contrary, every perceived waste of time is a life lesson...
Only you know what is a waste of time for you. If after you do something and you think that you could have done something more productive then that was a waste of time. Sometimes we don't see that something was a waste of time until years after, that's why it's important to have a goal in mind to work towards.
It’s about how much we can harvest of your time as value
Having passion on a subject will eliminate wasting time.
Building your mind is not a waste
I got sick with toxic mold 15 years ago and tbi brain injury 6 years ago. in last year going through divorce, had a fire, and developed anemia. Its a lot of time wasted in my life and its very sad but I can't undo what happened.
It’s ok. You’re allowed to be here! You’ve earned your place of value as a human being, here and now, because you are breathing. I’m sorry you’ve endured so much. Trust that this is not wasted. You’ve had challenges. You are valuable innately.
I love Jordan Peterson’s insights
Time flies when you are having fun.
The more you work, the more you get given to work, the more the boss will bust your ass and the more the government makes off your back.
The younger generation have already realised that working hard doesn't pay off anymore.
Work just enough to be happy.
This is the philosophy I am teaching my daughter and I hope she will be happier on the long run.
This was needed.
It isn't time thats being wasted. In a literal sense it's opportunities that's being wasted.
Amazing , I just got the best free therapy session . 😊
This is so necessary to know, ❤
I just spent 10 minutes looking for something to watch and this is what I chose. And the first thing I am confronted with is "its painful to realize how much of what you do is unproductive".....
uh....hopefully this video makes my situation NOT that case.
I am an aspiring motivational speaker and when I say I’ve failed time and time again on trying tew give another speech… man! But I know my success is found through my failure so my time is coming
This speaks directly to me for real
😧
I play chess compulsively these days, along with watching youtube. Well at least chess makes my mind work, but still...
You're all here for relatively the same amount of time, just spend it doing what makes you happy. Excess money won't make you happy & you can't take it with you anyway!
A huge problem that I have is that literally everything that I poor KY time into with any amount of vigor or care gets nowhere and or taken advantage of by huge corporations and then drained fully by corrupt politics and laws.
Being productive is a habit for sure. The hardest part a lot of the time is just getting started. Make a habit of getting started with something everyday and it's amazing the changes you see in your life.
It's much easier to start than to stay consistent
Life right now is way better than it ever has been. Think about it man.
I work roofing, alot of hours during the summer, come end of October, work is done and I go on EI. For 6 months I do absolutely NOTHING and enjoy my time off. In spring it's back at it!
Nice
Doing nothing is waste according to jordan peterson great thoughts by great men... JRE love your podcast
Sometimes people need to waste their time to figure out how valuable it is.
The term "Time Is money" depends on how you value money over time...
I work to live not live to work.
Time is speed or rate at which you record information and data through your senses to your brain.
You can only notice time when at least two senses of the five human senses are actively sensing.
I am making...per hour...the least that I have made in the last 6 years. That being said, my housing is half of what it was 6 years ago and instead of over an hour of driving to and from work each and every day, I spend 2 minutes because I work a 1/4 mile down the road. I did it so that I can be more lazy. That was the point. So my time could be spent how I want it to be, and I wouldnt charge for my personal time what I get paid at work. I certainly wouldnt compare it to minimum wage either. My job is lucky to have me.
When you start equating every minute and hour of your day into an hour wage that can be potentially wasted, your start monetizing everything, and that is definitely not living. Your worth at your job is one thing, your time outside of work is another and it shouldnt be equated to "dollars". The dollars value changes all the time, usually decreasing.
You can have your every minute accounted for so as to not lose a single dollar and get smashed to death in a freak car accident involving a semi. Happened to my best friend who spent a decade working 120hours a week to retire at 50, only to die right before his 52'nd birthday.
Good for you!
The most impactful words I’ve heard in a long while!
If you’re happy with your life then you’re happy
I have always felt that every moment I spend doing societally "beneficial" activities is wasted. I hate exchanging my time and effort for what others define as valuable. I truly enjoy being alone and doing things that benefit only me immediately. That hasn't changed in more than 40 years.
explain ? This is interesting
@mariona.5261 I can best describe it using activities that I find more enjoyable; hunting and fishing are far more enjoyable than farming. I have spent a fair amount of time developing the skills needed to successfully hunt and butcher game; but I would never want to add the skill set needed to be a rancher. Pursuing the animal, killing the animal, and immediately consuming the animal is enjoyable; caring for, raising, and protecting animals is entirely tedious. I spent much of my childhood on farms, so I experienced raising and killing farm animals.
Fishing is the same type activity. Catch and eat, or not catch, and don't eat. As opposed to being a commercial fisherman, which injects intermediate steps and interpersonal interactions.
I am not delusional and understand that the option to live an entirely subsistence lifestyle today is impossible. But I do believe that if the barriers to such a lifestyle were removed, I would like it more. It removes the need to have any trust in or responsibility for any other human. Just me alone living day to day, maybe dying at 20 due to a simple infection or living to be 80 mostly by dumb luck; or somewhere between those two.
For reference, I have 3 grandkids and 2 children. So I experienced fatherhood, which is both good and bad; but the good of it would not have prevented me from forgoing the experience in exchange for living alone.
Sage.
Find a need in your community and fill it. Helping others is the best way to be productive.
Thank you Mr. Peterson
Um. I didn't see Joe Rogan get his mind blown but okay. Dr. Peterson still gave good info.
He is defining exactly how I feel this is a great video
"Sow a thought, and you reap an action; sow an act, and you reap a habit; sow a habit, and you reap a character; sow a character, and you reap a destiny.”
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
Enjoying life is hardly wasting time.
Remember that time you enjoy wasting isn’t wasted time.
I wasted soooo many years working 😂
😂😂🎉🎉🎉
@@andresfruit5563why are ye jobless? Ye need money to live, sadly
Right
Hard work may not kill me, but why take a chance!
Don't forget that Whatever you seek,should be a moment of joy;a looking back at your life and liking how kind of a generous and eager you were to better yourself.
Sometimes,the wasted time is worth a take of a picture.sometimes it could be just walking around,sometimes studying hard so you could get the result you wanna achieve,sometimes even trying new things.
Remember teenagers;if you're reading this,go enjoy your youth it's not gonna be repeated!.
I had some toxic and useless friends(not all of them,surely) whom i used to hangout with.
Looking back at how much of a hellish time i wasted on my teen years,i feel so depressed.
8 months later im'a be 20.
use your 18 like it's your last days!!!!.
Wish you all success and happiness.
Study,work out,hang out with decent and helpful friends,have tons of fun and LEARN SOME USEFUL THINGS.
Work some jobs and do some certain stuff just in experience matter.
God bless
I get what hes saying, but it's only because everybody isn't concerned with studying or chasing high paying jobs that the system works. We absolutely need all the people that do the jobs that require little to no education, otherwise society wont function. Part of being an academic or a high earning person is the mentality to say that those that dont have that are wasting their life.
Happyness is a successful life, not how much you earn or what career you have. Some of the most miserable people I know earn a high salary or have a high standard of eduction. That personality trait of constant striving can leave you forever chasing an illusionary dream of what if.
Be the happiest you can be. that's the best version of you, not what other people tell you it is.
I've been listening to this business guy for the past several weeks that talks about the notion of time is money being on of the most damaging things done to our society, along with not teaching students financial literacy.
I've never actually thought about it until I heard this guy talk about it because it was so engrained in my subconscious from years and decades of hearing, "time is money." But time is not money...time is worth infinitely more than money...because you can't get back time, but you can always get more money. And people are constantly selling themselves to the highest bidder. Yeah I know...we need all sorts of jobs for society to function....but if everyone had a better idea of how money works...would society be better or worse off?
@@pareraphael6035 Great comment. You hit the nail on the head. The information to become financially literate is out there, but for some reason, many people are content with their way of life. Comfortable. Too much comfort can be damaging. I haven't had a real job in 10+ years...and it's not really because I have so much money that I can afford not to work. I only changed my mindset about what money is and the role of money in our society. It's just a game, the banks know how to play it and most people don't and that's why they're stuck.
@@HigherPlanes Amazing! Can I ask you a few questions in dm?
@@pareraphael6035 Sure man, ask away...but I'll briefly answer a few questions. Getting more passive income systems in place is the goal...I'm working on a few ideas. Other than that I'm a marketer by trade, although I haven't worked as one in over a decade. My main focus now is a side knife sharpening business tailored to high end restaurants...actually my core product is high end knife sharpening services...i use that to acquire clients, then I have other offerings, like knife upsell, cutting board upsells, etc....sometimes I do cooking classes and knife sharpening lessons to people who are interested, etc.
May I ask you who this "business guy" is. I would like to hear some of his content too. @@HigherPlanes
That’s a 100% improvement. Not 50%. But who cares, the message is well received Dr. JP
What is the purpose of being productive?
Who determines what wasting means?
We are all riders on the storm, all lives but variations upon a theme. There is no perfect way to be.
As if you could kill time without injuring eternity.” - Henry David Thoreau
105 minutes to 210 minutes sounds like 100% improvement to me.
Just keep in mind that, time wasted for some, is not necessarily so for someone else. It all depends on your own specific likes or goals. Personally I don't like a lot of things most people enjoy. And find it to be time wasted. Who's to say what is or isn't, except yourself. Of course, he wouldn't say that himself as he earns money on other people feeling like they need to better themselves.
Time wasted is pretty straightforward.. It literally means u are doing nothing productive with your time.. There is no subjectivity to this.. What an individual defines as “constructive ”in his own mind is irrelevant.. Productivity is different for everyone.. Just do more of whatever productivity means to you.. That’s all he is saying..
It's actually difficult to really waste time, you can get something out of most things even if it's just pleasure.
Also incase anyone was wondering what he meant by “union shadow” at 3:10 that was a typo on the creator of this video’s part. He’s referring to Carl Jung and he is saying “Jung-nean shadow” incase anyone wanted to learn more about carl Jung and his definition of what he considers the “shadow” side of human psychology
Very good of you to share that,
If you love life, then quit wasting time... For time is what life is made of... Mr. Lee
I've spent the last 12yrs researching obscure knowledge, I finally realized it is time to apply some of that knowledge 😂
Im in the middle of it, Jordan. Thanks
I don’t waste anytime I do exactly what I want all day, I spend as much time as I like doing the things I like doing..
I envy you....cos I spend a fuck load of time doing shit I hate
Yeah most people aren't in positions to do that. A lot of people have to work.
Crack is a powerful drug, and de Nile is a river in Egypt.
You contradicted yourself here.
@@hairyjute, they do too.
I understood this when I was 26. I was living with rent. I’m 35 now and I own a ranch with 2 houses on it and 300 fruit trees and a 150m ultra central apartment. Debt free. I owe nobody nothing. I just stopped wasting my time and used what I had: my hands and energy (no money, no inheritance) I finished law school for comparison and now I don’t have a job , I wake up when I please and live off the land. About 4k a month it’s fine.
The fact he considers wasting your life as not making money is all I need to know
Exactly. Insecure mentality at it's best.
Are you stupid? Literally at the beginning of the video he said he leaves the meaning behind "wasting your life" to the person to decide that for themselves
The fact he thinks it’s that easy to get a $50/h job is what makes me laugh. Shit if I could easily get a extra part time job making that much I’d do it, but I’m not gonna waste my time working any more than I have to for shit pay.
"Don´t waste your damn life......just make money, money is everything............." What a message!
It is not a matter of discipline. It is a matter of choosing what to be disciplined at, Which is still hard to do.
