Change Your Life In 6 Months (My Deep Work Routine)

I think this is the most important video I ever watched and the part that you said to comment which part stuck out the most there its impossible because the whole video stuck in my mind, thank you man.

Thanks dan, We live the best time to be everything!... so just belive in your self and do better everyday. word on right stuff and do it consistent is key of success

I love hove it require myself immerse in the system that moving me forward! It's an sustainable development

I was really off to a great morning but I did answer an email not sure how it got through but I responded it was 6:30a.m. I was able to finish my workout and journaling but I had lost all my focus for my art because I was thinking about the email and how that work require my focus more (seems like it doesn’t take much to distract me from art) no more answering emails or messages till 9a.m. When my “work day” starts… it seems those who work from home like me, send emails when it works for them but I shouldn’t lose my focus for their schedule a 9a.m. Reply is just as good as a 9a.m. Reply

Thanks you so much

I’m going to implement the 5 minutes of the “task” I want in my ideal future day to day.

Really loved the video❤

The part of not being wired to work under bright lights, in a cubicle , made me go bananas...

Is Modern Mastery still $5 to join first time?

Dan, I've had two enlightening moments in the past few months. I'm a college student working full-time for someone while in the process of forming my own business. The point you made about no conversations + notifications stuck out to me mostly because my job is to be on the phone from 7a-4p 5 days a week and I'm still experimenting with how to effectively 'reset' my brain to have the energy to focus on my actual deep work (through walks as you'd mentioned, naps, and guitar) As I write this I have this vivid vision where my day is filled with freedom and I'm working entirely for myself; when that day comes I won't forget how you, Simon Sinek, and Naval Ravikant, Robert Greene, and Ryan Holiday got me there.

So not 5 bucks for the Modern Mastery? :(

Hey everyone! I post daily affirmation videos every morning and night that have helped me stay positive, confident and motivated ✨
You can join me on this journey 💫

Great video! Could you tell me that, which mic are you using?

It emphasizes the value of deep work, investing mental energy in goals, and avoiding distractions. The Priority Ladder method is introduced for achieving significant life changes with just one hour of focused work per day.

That was really helpful, and especially the priority task!! Thanks a lot for this video!!

I had to rewind this video like 4 times and I still haven’t heard anything. ADHD sucks… I know that focus is the most important skill and I don’t have it 😣

Love you man.

Your content resonates with me always on a deeper level Dan.

The first hour in the morning really stuck out to me, I plan to alternate between 2 task , doing exercise on one morning and assignments the next morning for an hour. 💪🏿🤓

Holistic scheduling and priority system will be implemented

This the best vid. Pure gold

I’m extremely grateful to you. Super glad i found you. So I’m in the stage that I’m totally lost. Prefer not to share everything here but I’m meant to be building my business but I’m totally confused about my vision - lacking it and lost. Read your one about being lost. Trying not to put pressure on. But i guess my thoughts are how you know what to start your deep work on…. When you’re super confused coz my issue is I’ve been working but it’s all wrong and on the wrong things and I’ve wasted so much time on social media and although it’s building, it’s slow and no idea where it’s taking me…. Thank you in advance

This was sooo good!

What if what you want to outsource is your own face?

Dan Koe is the man, I love the way he broke down how he breaks down his day into those segments for continuous productivity, manifestation, and creativity while also adhering to making sure you block out time for true deep work. we all need that to properly deal with all the bullshit distractions we are dealt with on a regular basis every day.

great value, thank you

I am building the foundations of company on the side while doing contracted employment at a big corporation…

From my experience in the 17 months with them, I can assure that there is little possibility to structure your day for productive work, as an employee of the company I mean. The meeting machine takes over and dictates employee’s schedules. The irony is if they let people build and create more freely, more would get done, and at a higher quality. They can’t help themselves by getting out of their own way to facilitate meaningful progress. Growth in a big corporate path is unlikely, I think, at least in a focused creative way Dan is referring to.

The only way to escape it is to try your best to compartmentalize your time, and make the most of your personal hours to break free from it, or join a small to mid-sized company where meetings, bureaucracy and red tape don’t consume your “working” hours.

You have taken things I’ve felt for years and articulated them in an effortless presentation! Thank you Dan!

This was really dope and helpful, especially about creativity, productivity and expermentation

I’m going to try this. I’ve been procrastinating

This was super helpful! Thank you!

The key to everything is writing, its so simple I can’t believe I would have never thought of it. Even in school the only thing that came naturally was writing a lot of words of things I actually wanted to talk about (the rare time that actually was the case)

Im going to be implementing most of what you talked about. Especially writing and video recording being my very first things i do in the morning before i even touch the internet or social media.

The priority ladder is actually very interesting. I've experienced it so many time without knowing it, every time I start working at a new company. At first when I am still learning the processes of the new company I need to be laser focused, until the job gets really just an automated process. It actually is the same as any new thing that we start.

Great Just Great

Side light is too bright. Take it down 1.5 stops and add a fill light or reflector board on the left. It will be more flattering.

I swear to God I thought you were @Better Ideas 😂, the resemblance is uncanny, great video btw

I was reluctant to watch at first but I’m glad I did! Thanks!
