You're procrastinating way too freaking much.

You know it and I know it.

So today we're going to fix that.

And look, it's not because you're lazy.

It's not because you don't care.

It's because procrastination isn't what you think it is.

It's actually two separate problems happening at the same time.

And nobody teaches you how to solve either.

I get it.

I have pretty hardcore ADHD, which makes it pretty impossible for me to do anything without getting distracted.

But despite all of that, I've been able to build a nine figure empire and help thousands of other entrepreneurs do the exact same.

And I can tell you, you don't just beat procrastination with brute force.

There are ways to hack your brain into being 10 times more productive, if not more.

So in this video, I'm going to show you why you keep getting distracted, how to eliminate those distractions, how to stay locked in once you're actually doing the work,

and how to permanently wire these systems into your brain so they run on autopilot.

Starting with point number one, why you actually procrastinate in the first place.

See, most people think distractions come from the outside.

I'm talking emails and the pinging and the phone buzzing and Slack notifications going off, but that's not true.

The real problem is internal triggers.

My friend near Eyal, an author of Indistractable, says that we reach for distractions to escape boredom, loneliness, fear, fatigue, uncertainty.

We use these distractions that might make you think you're productive, but you're actually using them to keep yourself busy doing stuff that doesn't do anything.

People avoid things that might stress them out.

But I remember Jeff Bezos said, he says stress primarily comes from not taking action over something that you can have some control over.

So the stress that you created by not doing the thing is where the stress came from versus just saying, I got control over this, let me do something with it.

So now that you understand the reasons behind distractions, we need to move forward.

We need to figure out what all those distractions actually are so you can attack them.

Which takes us to the next point.

Point number two, signal versus noise.

Steve Jobs used to talk about this idea of focusing on what really matters, which is signal versus what really doesn't, which is the noise.

Signal in many ways follows the Pareto principle, which is 20% of the work actually drives 80% of the results.

The noise is everything else, and it falls into two categories.

The busy work, keeping you busy but doesn't actually do anything, or the distraction, the vices, the video games, the talking with your friends for hours reading the news,

watching the sports games.

These are all things that just keep you distracted from actually getting the work done.

I remember I was running my first company.

I was busy working 100 hour weeks and then I hired a coach and my coach analyzed my calendar.

And when he looked at it, he said, hey, did you know you spend 70% of your time in meetings that are just like getting updates and honestly, you're not producing any results.

Sales, which drives revenue, was only 10% of my calendar.

See, he could see the signal and all the noise and I was pretending not to see it.

But the truth was, is that I was just allowing myself to be distracted because it felt productive.

That's why I always go back to a simple premise.

If you show me your calendar and your bank account, I will show you what's important to you.

So here's what I want you to do right now.

Go grab something to write with.

It can be a blank piece of paper or pull out your phone and start a new note, but find something to write with.

Number one, draw two columns.

Just put a direct line down the middle of that page, one labeled signal, the other one labeled noise.

The second thing is I want you to think about everything

that you did in the last couple of weeks

and I want you to write it down on that piece of paper in those two columns.

Is it either noise or it's signal?

So what you'll probably notice is you'll have a lot of stuff in the noise column

and what you wanna do is get most of your week to be in the signal column.

I know a lot of business owners that are trying to scale past seven figures, and they're stuck in the noise.

They can't find their way out.

That's why I created my Scale Your Business Workbook.

It teaches you how to buy back your time and get out of the noise.

And if you want my step-by-step process, just find me on Instagram and message me the word scale YouTube, and I'll send it right over to you.

So now you know what you're spending your time on when it comes to signal to noise.

You can see exactly where you're wasting time, And you can probably diagnose some of the stuff in the noise column that you need to cut to get rid of.

So how do you actually do that?

Point number three, eliminating distractions.

The way we become more productive is first, we have to make it difficult for you to get distracted

and we have to break out the habits of defaulting to the vices.

So here are two ways you can do this.

I call it the friction rule.

Either we add friction to make it hard or we move friction to make it work.

So the first thing is we gotta procrastinate the distraction itself.

If you're about to go open up Instagram and go doom scroll, I want you to at least make a commitment to yourself.

And I know it sounds weird because you're like, well, I was about to do it.

How am I going to not do it?

I'm telling you, just give yourself 10 minutes.

I'll actually allow you to do it.

If you can go, hey, I'm going to wait 10 minutes until I go and I doom scroll on Instagram because I really want to right now, but you put it off.

I guarantee you're probably not going to want to do it.

And the truth is you'll usually get back into momentum and you won't even want the distraction anymore.

You just got to create separation from impulse to reaction.

If that doesn't work, let's add some friction.

Let's make it hard on yourself.

It's kind of like this fun game where I think about it's easier to avoid the dragon than to slay it.

See, most people are like, I'm going to have food in my house.

And I'm like, well, then you're going to want to eat that crap food.

Versus if you take the food and you put it out of the house, then you got to get in your car to go buy the food you shouldn't eat.

That made it hard.

See how that creates friction?

I like to make it easy for me to make good decisions.

So I want to go to the gym in the morning.

So I prep all my clothes so that when I wake up, it's sitting there, my shoes, my clothes.

I pretty much told everybody, including my wife, I'm going to the gym in the morning.

So there's no way I'm not going to do it because everybody would see it.

Everybody would know.

You have to make it easy to make the right choices.

So the cool part is, is now you've made it nearly impossible for you to get distracted or at least added some friction.

But here's where most people still get stuck.

They sit down to work and nothing happens because they're waiting for a spark of inspiration, something that might never come to them.

Which brings us to point number four, building momentum.

This is not what you think it is.

See, first gear is usually easy to get into.

Second gear is easier because you're already in first gear.

100

And then third gear is easier because now you're in second gear and you have momentum.

101

The higher you go, the smoother the shifts.

102

Let me explain.

103

When you're driving a car and you got to put it into gear, there's actually a lot of mechanical friction to do that, right?

104

The first gear is always the hardest.

105

Then you get going, the engine revs up.

106

second gear, smoother, keep going.

107

The higher you go, the smoother the shifts.

108

By the time you're in third, fourth is way easier.

109

If you go from zero to fourth, it doesn't work.

110

And then once you're going fourth to fifth, you'll barely notice because you're already in momentum.

111

And as a guy that literally drives his cars every day doing donuts, I know the power of mechanical momentum.

112

And most people will wait until they're motivated and inspired

113

and feeling good about their situation before they even start and shift into first.

114

You don't need motivation.

115

You don't need inspiration.

116

You don't need to feel it.

117

I say oftentimes it's feel the feelings, fly the plane.

118

What you need is to start.

119

And if you have the privilege of starting and being in momentum and you know when you're in it, stay in it, fight to be in it.

120

I think too many people give up their power of momentum to anybody that's willing to distract them.

121

They sell their dreams for cheap, cheap prices because they'd rather be distracted than be consistent.

122

If you're staring at a blank page, do anything.

123

If you're staring at yourself in the mirror and you don't like what you see, go for a walk.

124

You can start a diet halfway through a bag of chips and then you can build momentum.

125

You can decide to start the business by calling anybody and ask them to buy something.

126

That first sale means you're now in business.

127

Momentum is the key.

128

The thing that stops people from winning in general is they don't have clarity around what they wanna do.

129

So step one, write down just the steps of doing what you know you've been avoiding, even if you don't make a commitment to doing it.

130

Try that.

131

Then step two, pick anything that is a small task that you could do that takes less than two minutes.

132

That's called the MINS, most important next step.

133

then if that felt good, do another one and then do another one and just start and build momentum

134

and go from first gear to second gear to third gear.

135

See, once you have clarity and you know what you could be doing and you take action and you get some results, then you feel good and you start to build.

136

And that is how we create and stay momentum.

137

So oftentimes I won't even make a commitment to doing the project.

138

I'll just be like, I'll make a commitment to making a list of things I know

139

that I got to do if I started the project.

140

Then once I got the list, I'm like, ooh, okay, maybe I can do one of those.

141

And then I do it.

142

And next day I know, I'm like, I'll do another one because that felt good.

143

And then I do another one.

144

And then I'm like, ooh, I'm getting some feedback.

145

It's feeling good.

146

I can see where the finish line is going to come from.

147

And then I'm just like, oh my gosh, I can't believe I thought it had to be motivated to even start.

148

So now we've got momentum.

149

You're in motion.

150

But we got to make sure that you're not just staying busy.

151

We actually have to be efficient in what we're doing, which takes us to point number five.

152

Doing the work efficiently.

153

That's where I use Parkinson's law, which states the work expands to fill the time you give it.

154

I can't tell you how often people say to me, hey man, I'll give that to you by the end of the week.

155

And I go, why not Wednesday?

156

Well, I can do it Wednesday.

157

All right. By when?

158

End of the day.

159

Why not noon?

160

Yeah, I could probably do it by noon.

161

Cool.

162

What changed from the first time I asked for it to get done

163

and me asking if you can get it done sooner?

164

They're like, I don't know.

165

It's like, how about we do that to ourselves?

166

So I'm a big fan of saying, what is aggressive but not impossible?

167

Because if you don't, you will just take up as much time as you want to get the task done.

168

It's like when I go on vacation, the day before I leave, I get everything that are open loops done.

169

Why?

170

Because I know the next day I'm gone for a while.

171

So think about what's the mindset you had before you went on vacation.

172

How do you live your day that way?

173

See, if there's no date, there's no priority.

174

There's no pressure.

175

There's no execution.

176

So what I've done is I've built a system on how to do that.

177

And it comes in three parts.

178

Here's how we go about it step by step.

179

One, we want to allocate specific amounts of time to finish the task and schedule it in the calendar.

180

I'm talking a day of the week, a date in the calendar, and a time of day.

181

This is called time blocking.

182

And the reason I do this is that the more you do it, the more you'll learn to estimate properly.

183

Most people are always late because they don't ever give themselves deadlines.

184

So they don't know if they overestimated or underestimated.

185

The second thing is at the end of that time, schedule a meeting with somebody else or make a commitment to show somebody the work that you did during that time block.

186

That'll create a forcing function for you to get it done

187

because you know right after you're in another meeting or you promise to show somebody the work you've done so far.

188

It basically creates a deadline you have to stick to.

189

And then the third step is once I've committed to that time block, I like to break it into 25 minute chunks, which are called pomodoros.

190

And then I have a timer that literally sits on my computer and it runs off every 25 minutes.

191

And I got to focus on whatever I wrote down, I'll get done in that 25 minutes and I get it done.

192

This system creates a massive amounts of productivity and accountability because it gives you an efficient way to force you to focus, to force you to stay in momentum,

193

to force you to get the thing done.

194

So now that we've eliminated all the distraction, we've built momentum and we've learned how to work efficiently.

195

Here's the next thing.

196

If you stop here, you're going to have to keep fighting yourself every single day, forcing yourself to focus.

197

It's going to feel hard.

198

It's going to feel exhausting.

199

So the last step is to make it easy and permanent.

200

Point number six, turning hacks into identity.

201

I remember one time I was talking to Tony Robbins and he said, the strongest force in human personality is the need to stay consistent with how we've defined ourselves.

202

The stories we tell ourselves is our identity.

203

It's our ego.

204

And us being consistent on how we see ourselves is crazy powerful.

205

So the last step is to turn those habits into identity so you never have to think about them again.

206

So for example, if I asked you, how many times did you have to stop yourself from buying a vape

207

when you're driving home after work if you don't vape?

208

Probably never.

209

Why?

210

Because you don't vape.

211

You have an identity of that's not who I am.

212

And eventually a habit like going to the gym becomes an identity.

213

I'm an athlete and athletes go to the gym

214

and athletes don't order pizza for lunch and athletes are very consistent in their training and athletes have coaches.

215

All of a sudden that identity drives your behaviors.

216

And we wanna do that for your productivity.

217

When it becomes part of your identity, you don't have to hack yourself anymore.

218

I have an identity that I'm the kind of person that preps before a meeting, that gets done on time, that follows my calendar 100%.

219

So I don't have to sit there and stress myself out trying to do these things because it's who I am.

220

So here's what I want you to do.

221

First off, we're gonna write one sentence, I always.

222

And I want you to finish this with identity statements that essentially is empowering.

223

If you think about the person who easily achieves the results that you do in your life, what do they always do?

224

Do they always work efficiently?

225

They always put stuff in their calendar.

226

They always break things down easier.

227

They always meet their deadlines write that down

228

and the second sentence is i never and finish this with something

229

that you no longer want to do

230

or something you know that's holding you back maybe it's a

231

vice i never eat after 6 p.m i never play video

232

games i never watch sports i don't know what it is

233

for you i know i just said some crazy stuff

234

but ask yourself

235

if i had to give up some short-term distractions for long-term dreams what would those be

236

and write down i never and insert

237

that there what i always tell people is is you have a 10.0 version of yourself that you could become.

238

And I think that person already exists.

239

You just gotta start acting like that person today.

240

So the key is to repeat those statements all the time until your brain believes it, until it becomes identity, until it becomes just who you are.

241

So now you've got everything that I believe in avoiding the distractions to staying focused and building momentum.

242

You just need to make a simple commitment, just start.

243

What work have you been avoiding?

244

Where's the potential for your next breakthrough?

245

Just write it below in the comments.

246

I'm going to read them all.

247

And I want to know that you got what I was sharing.

248

And remember, if you haven't already, find me on Instagram, Dan Martell, 2Ls of Martell, and DM me the word scale YouTube, and I'll send you over my full scale your business workbook.

249

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
