1
In this video, I'm going to go over 1,000 hours of productivity advice.
2
You see, I've spent the last three years reading hundreds
3
and hundreds of productivity books and tons of articles on flow state peak performance
4
that has allowed me to go from focusing one hour per
5
day to entering a flow state for eight plus hours a day every single day for the past few years.
6
Now, this isn't going to be a video where I walk you through Pomodoro
7
or time blocking for the 50th time because I know you've heard that before and you don't want to hear it again.
8
Everything I'm about to go over is based off the neuroscience of peak performance and flow state.
9
And it's the same system,
10
so I've given to several five to six figure per month entrepreneurs.
11
So we're going to split this into three parts.
12
What productivity actually is and how you measure it.
13
How to kill mental resistance so you can actually do the work effortlessly.
14
And how to actually focus for eight plus hours a day consistently without burning out.
15
So the first thing we need to really go over is what actually is productivity.
16
And how do you know if you're actually being productive?
17
Because this is something most people get wrong.
18
Most people think it's about the work hours.
19
Most people think it's about how many tasks you complete every day.
20
But really, it's not of that.
21
It's really about something called work efficiency.
22
And to explain this so you actually understand it,
23
we've got a couple of things inside our day.
24
We've got the total work hours,
25
which is obviously how long we work for.
26
We've got the dead time or the shallow work,
27
which is a time we're not really productive.
28
We're half working on a task.
29
We're getting distracted.
30
We're thinking a lot.
31
We're not really focused.
32
Then we also have something called work efficiency.
33
This is the time out of your total work hours that you're actually efficient inside the day.
34
And the real sad thing about this is the average knowledge worker
35
and the average entrepreneur really only focuses for 11 minutes per day.
36
And sure you might say to yourself,
37
okay, well, I focus for eight plus hours a day.
38
But if you did, I guarantee you wouldn't be watching this video because you wouldn't have a problem.
39
You wouldn't have a problem with scaling your business either.
40
You'd just be able to do it.
41
And so the goal isn't to work as many hours as possible.
42
It's to first make every hour we work as efficient as possible.
43
Then we can start to progressively overload our focus hours
44
and really start to maximize the amount of time we're working for each day.
45
But the problem most people face is they first try to work as long as possible,
46
not really caring about how long they focus for inside their work sessions.
47
You're doing it completely wrong.
48
And I did this for ages in some of my old business.
49
I'd work and work and work,
50
but the work I was doing was very inefficient.
51
And to make sure you understand this,
52
we've got two types of entrepreneurs, right?
53
The first person works 12 hours a day.
54
He focuses for two out of those 12 hours,
55
sometimes more if we're being a bit generous.
56
And so basically, if he's only focusing for two hours out of the 12 hours,
57
he's got a work efficiency of 16%.
58
Then we have another entrepreneur who only does four hours of work per day,
59
but it's efficient for every hour he works, so four hours.
60
So he has a 100% work efficiency.
61
Now, out of these people,
62
who do you think is going to make the most money online inside the business?
63
Who do you think is going to make the most progress as fast as possible?
64
Well, it's obviously going to be the person who works four
65
hours he's gonna have more free time he's gonna have more
66
results inside his business compared to this other guy who just can't focus at all
67
and so if you're sitting here
68
and you're the type of person who works with 12 hours a day
69
or tries to
70
but you're not efficient please take a step back do not
71
try to do these hours try to maximize your focus hours
72
first now how do you actually do this well we're going to cover this later inside this video
73
but the main thing you need to do is first find your focus baseline
74
so if i zoom out for you um this is actually part of a different video I've been making.
75
So if I zoom out,
76
there's tons of different things.
77
Like, as you can see,
78
I need to really organize this mirror board.
79
But we have something called our focus baseline,
80
which I'm pretty sure is over here.
81
So we have our focus baseline,
82
which is basically how long we can focus for without dropping off or losing focus on Saturday.
83
So let's say our focus intensity that we can currently do is three hours, right?
84
So these on the side represent hours.
85
So we're going to do three hours per day.
86
Now the correct thing to do would be to slowly increase this every single week, right?
87
So week two, we go to four hours and then we start to drop off.
88
Then a week after we go to five hours and we start to drop off.
89
But the problem most people face is let's say for example,
90
they have a focus baseline of one hour
91
so they go here then they drop off what they try
92
to do is by day two they try to go to five hours
93
and then they drop off now your brain's not going to be able to do
94
that
95
because your brain's focused muscle is just like a regular muscle
96
you train in your gym you can't just go from doing
97
one kg bicep curls to 100 kg bicep curls in one
98
day it's not how it works you'll severely injure yourself
99
if you do so what we want to do is progressively increase this over time
100
so we've got this like momentum where day one we go
101
from one hour then week four we go to five hours
102
or eight hours that's exactly how you increase your focus hours
103
and if you take one thing from this video it would be
104
that okay so let's get back to the video
105
so the next thing we need to really go over is mental resistance now
106
that you understand how to actually be productive
107
and what you need to really focus on you need to really understand your enemy which use mental resistance.
108
This is the biggest killer of productivity.
109
And just before you go into a mental resistance,
110
I just want to say,
111
if you are an entrepreneur and you're struggling to focus on your work
112
and you know if you can enter flow state more,
113
you'll be able to scale your business faster.
114
Click the first link in the description to my free committee
115
on school where you get a free flow state course
116
and a free one-to-one coaching call with me where I help
117
you enter a flow state for at least eight hours per day, okay?
118
Just so you know, mental resistance is basically the force that stops you from doing the work every day.
119
So it's the force that tells you to go on your phone instead of doing the work.
120
It's the force that tells you that work is hard,
121
that you don't really need to do it,
122
that you can just give it a few days before you start.
123
And so when we think of procrastination or we think of losing focus inside the day,
124
a lot of times it is just mental resistance.
125
It's not actually a problem with ourself,
126
it's a problem with this mental resistance showing up.
127
Now there's three kind of ways this can show up inside your routine and your life,
128
which I found.
129
The first thing is the challenge to the school ratio.
130
Now this is actually regarded is the most important flow trigger
131
or the most important thing that makes you enter a flow state
132
and it's developed by someone called Mihaly Csakmiha who's known as the godfather of flow state or peak performance.
133
Now if you don't know what flow state is,
134
flow state is basically the state where we fill
135
and perform at our best and time will speed up before the most efficient and it's basically where we reach peak performance.
136
To reach peak performance or reach flow state,
137
what we need to make sure we're doing is having an equal challenge compared to our skills.
138
If the challenge or the tasks that we're doing exceed our skills,
139
then we'll feel overwhelmed and we'll start to procrastinate.
140
We'll feel anxious, just like it says here.
141
Now, if this opposite and our skills are where the challenge,
142
then we'll feel bored and we'll go to distractions, right?
143
So we need to really be in this middle ground where we enter the flow channel.
144
That's where we enter our flow state.
145
And specifically, you want to make sure there's a 4% increase in challenge compared to your skills.
146
Now, this is the biggest reason people have the mental resistance
147
because sometimes you just don't know how to complete the task you're doing.
148
And so you feel overwhelmed and you go to your phone.
149
And what I want to do first is analyze where we're at in this graph.
150
Are we feeling anxious?
151
Does the challenge exceed our skills?
152
Does the skills await the challenge?
153
Then what we're going to do is just align it correctly.
154
If the challenge awaits our skills,
155
then lower the intensity of our work sessions.
156
Work for less in solid work sessions.
157
So instead of doing one hour work sessions, do 30 minutes.
158
Then break down the task into very simple steps to complete.
159
Instead of just having the task outlined in your to-do list
160
and it looks very scary to do have the steps to
161
complete it have sit at desk open a specific document do the work on a document then quit the document
162
that is how you should be planning your day anyway
163
if it's the opposite
164
and tasks are very easy to do then you want to
165
increase the intensity of your focus sessions to work for longer
166
and also create challenges for example it used to take me around five hours to edit a video
167
when i used to do it like a few years ago right
168
so i've been doing youtube for a few years now
169
and i think around two years ago what i tried is
170
i tried doing it in around one hour right instead of
171
setting a five hour timer i would set a one hour timer
172
and it might sound a bit crazy
173
but i was basically able to get every single bit of
174
that task done in one hour it might have took like one hour
175
and 15 minutes i can't remember but i remember getting done much quicker
176
and i could quit my entire like work day very early
177
so that's the importance of this you just want to increase the intensity of your focus sessions
178
and just create challenges to increase the excitement,
179
increase your focus on a task.
180
The next thing is understanding the four-stage flow cycle,
181
which is struggle, release, flow, and recovery.
182
Now, this is the natural stages we go through
183
when we're trying to focus on a work and we're trying to enter a flow state.
184
Our brain will try to go through this automatically,
185
as long as the conditions for flow state are met.
186
So struggle is the main one we need to understand.
187
And this is basically where you get the mental resistance to do the work.
188
We get that feeling, are we don't want to do it we'd rather scroll on our phone
189
but the very important thing is this only lasts for 15 minutes
190
and after that you've reached the release stage where everything feels very easy to do
191
and the prefrontal cortex
192
which manages your thoughts starts to tone down your cortisol levels start to drop as well
193
and you feel very relaxed then you reach flow state then you do recovery
194
and i've got a graph for this actually
195
that i want to show you the cognitive resistance during the task
196
when you start it is always going to be at the
197
highest in the first 15 minutes then it starts to drop off this is a very important concept
198
because neuroscientists haven't really found a way to get through this
199
all you really can do is just push through it
200
and you just really need to visualize this graph as you're working
201
because if you forget this your brain will just think the mental assistance is going to stay at
202
that level for the entire time you work
203
but no it starts to drop off after 15 minutes okay
204
so that's the second thing the last thing we have is the amygdala
205
so the amygdala is a structure inside the brain
206
which basically is known as our threat response system it kind of keeps us safe
207
so
208
if you think to thousands of years ago this would have
209
been like the main safety mechanism we can't really survive without this you know
210
when you touch like a hot stove or hot pan it's the force
211
that kind of causes you to not touch it anymore
212
if you didn't have this amygdala we would just keep touching the hot stove
213
and probably die you know so we wouldn't survive without this
214
but the problem with this is
215
when we start work a lot of times this amygdala will start to go haywire
216
and you'll start to find that tasks very hard to do
217
and it kind of relates to that mental resistance
218
so just realizing this and knowing
219
that this is actually a function inside the brain to keep
220
you safe is very important you need to always have this
221
inside your mind every single time i'm working on a hard task
222
and when i'm talking to my clients
223
and they're working on a hard task i get them to
224
visualize this get them to visualize this structure inside the brain
225
because it is literally part of our day-to-day life it's part of our system okay
226
so that's mental resistance
227
and really to make this very simple for you we've already
228
gone over a few things here the first thing is to bind it to our challenge to ratio
229
and then we want to realize
230
that the resistance goes after 15 minutes of the task and what you can also do by the way,
231
it sets smaller timers to get past this.
232
So instead of setting a one hour timer and a task was very scary to do,
233
set a 15 minute timer and that will feel a lot easier to go through.
234
Then you want to have a deep work ritual that our brain associates with the work to make it easier.
235
Now a very good thing the brain can do is it can start to associate actions we find positive
236
so for example making coffee drinking the coffee doing breath work
237
going on like a walk inside of nature it can start to associate those actions with doing the work
238
which is a negative experience and so
239
when you start to think of work you think of all these positive things like drinking the coffee going on
240
that walk and becomes a lot easier to do so
241
if you have some habits you can do right before work
242
that is obviously healthy not just scrolling on your phone or like eating junk food or playing video games,
243
make sure you do that inside the day.
244
Then the fourth thing we can do is start to change our belief systems to associate work with a positive experience.
245
So naturally when we do work,
246
our brain will start to associate a negative experience with that because it's hard.
247
We don't want to stare at a computer for four hours a day.
248
We don't want to like work on this task because it requires lots of energy, right?
249
And our brain loves to conserve energy.
250
It hates using energy and so it doesn't want to use energy on things that don't give it an immediate reward.
251
What we want to do is just make sure we change our belief system,
252
start to have different affirmations and do one visualization a day where we start to think that the work is actually easy.
253
And once we start to do this,
254
we'll start to change our beliefs and our brain will basically realize that the task is easier to do.
255
So the last thing we need to go over is really just consistency with focusing for long hours.
256
And if you're an entrepreneur watching this video,
257
maybe you have a team already.
258
Maybe you are just making a few thousand a month.
259
Maybe you're making 10k per month.
260
Maybe you're making 100k per month.
261
You've probably had those days where you're very consistent with focusing for long hours, right?
262
You can do it for eight hours in one day,
263
but then the next five hours,
264
you just struggle to do it.
265
And the reason this happens is because your brain is a very huge resource hog.
266
Like I said, our brain loves to conserve energy.
267
It hates using it.
268
And so really, when we have those days when we can't focus,
269
this is the only reason.
270
We could focus, but our brain just wants to conserve the energy and doesn't want to go through that work again.
271
And to really get through this,
272
you need to realize that you can't go from flow state back into flow state straight away.
273
You can't go from focusing to focusing again.
274
you need to go through some kind of recovery
275
because inside a flow state and when you're focusing you're using tons and tons of neurochemicals using norepinephrine dopamine endorphins
276
anadamide oxytocin serotonin and these are the most potent neurochemicals inside our brain
277
and so when we complete our work we don't have any neurochemicals left to do it again
278
so we need to go through some kind of recovery
279
so the first thing you need to start doing is prioritizing active recovery at times you start to lose focus
280
so for me this is 11 a.m
281
and 3 p.m those are the times I'll start to lose focus
282
and then when I say active recovery I basically mean actions
283
that involve movements that recover the neurochemicals so it could be exercise,
284
cold showers, nature walks, stretching and there's tons of other ones
285
but you can just research this on google if you want to but the ones I do are cold showers,
286
breath work and exercise and just do those at the times you start to lose focus
287
and energy and I guarantee you'll feel like just like you did in the morning
288
when you're doing super focused work in the afternoon okay
289
and also make sure your progress basically increasing your focus time over a few weeks
290
and this will just really help with obviously increasing your focus baseline
291
so you don't stay at like three hours a day
292
and you can go to eight hours a day consistently
293
so this is the entire system
294
and over the past few years these are the most important
295
lessons I've ever learned about productivity neuroscience after taking a bunch of different courses
296
and reading hundreds of books on this now if you are an entrepreneur
297
and you're making four five k per month maybe you're making 50 k per month
298
and you just find you can't focus in your work
299
and you know
300
if you could enter flow state consistently you would be able
301
to scale your business just like these people here have done
302
click the first link in the description to my free committee
303
on school we got a free flow state course right here
304
and a free coaching with me where i'll basically help you
305
enter a flow state for at least eight hours a day okay have a major rest of your day man peace

このビデオでスピーキングを練習する理由
このビデオでは、1000時間もの生産性に関するアドバイスが提供されています。話者は、生産性向上に関する数多くの本や記事を読んできた経験をもとに、効率的に作業を行う方法を解説しています。このような内容を英語シャドーイングの練習に利用することで、実践的な英語のスピーキング能力を向上させることができます。具体的には、プレゼンテーションスキルや自信を高めつつ、生産性を最大化するための思考プロセスに触れることができるため、英語スピーキング練習として非常に有効です。
文法と表現のコンテキスト
このビデオでは、以下のような重要な文法構造や表現が使用されています:
- 「あまりにも多くの人が誤解している」 - この表現は、誤解や誤った認識について話す際に使われます。英語では「most people get this wrong」という形式になります。
- 「仕事の効率」 - 「work efficiency」というフレーズは、効率性を定義する重要な言葉です。日常英会話でも使える表現です。
- 「何分間集中しているか」 - 「how long you focus」という表現は、集中力に関する質問の際に非常に役立ちます。
これらの表現をshadowspeaksの技法を使って繰り返し練習することで、使い方に慣れ、会話の流暢さが増します。
共通の発音の罠
ビデオの中で特に発音が難しい単語やフレーズを以下に挙げます:
- 「生産性」（productivity） - 日本語にはない音が含まれているため、特に注意が必要です。
- 「効率」（efficiency） - 強弱アクセントに注意し、正しく発音することで、聴き手に与える印象が良くなります。
- 「集中」（focus） - この単語も同様に、発音のバリエーションがあるため、練習が必要です。
これらの発音を意識しながら英語シャドーイングに取り組むことで、より自然な英語を話せるようになります。ビデオの内容を参考にしつつ、様々な発音を正確にマスターしていきましょう。
シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
