Under one of my last photos on Instagram,

you asked me about how I manage to work

for three consecutive hours, how I motivate myself.

So this video is about the simplest rule

out there that has been working for me for all my life.

If you're interested, continue watching this video.

How do you like-- ah!

Good sign, right.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

As I said, the rule is super easy.

You need to start acting within five seconds

after you have a thought of starting doing something.

And that is, for example, you have a dream

of starting your own company.

Yes, I need a start a bakery.

The next thing you're going to do

is you're going to go Google within five seconds

and Google the bakeries that around your place

and explore your competition, or you

want to get education in the States.

The next thing - you're going to sit down and research

your universities.

Why within five seconds?

The problem is is that our body does everything

to prevent our brain from working,

because when our brain works, it consumes

25% of our energy.

So the task of our body is create conditions

where a brain does not work, because otherwise it

will consume all of the energy.

Have you noticed that before you start your exam preparation,

before you study, you think like,

oh my god, my room is so dirty.

I need to clean up, or like, oh my god, before I start,

I need to order all of those books

and then wait till they arrive so I

can use them in my preparation.

This is something that your brain does.

It creates activities that do not involve it's work.

But you can change that, right.

And you can change it by starting

acting within five seconds.

Another thing, how you notice that all of the professors,

like the majority of professors of universities,

they're really thin.

And it's because they work with their brain all the time.

And brain activity can seems a lot more energy than sport.

So how do you start acting within five seconds

after you have a thought?

For me, what I do, I split one big goal

into really easy tasks.

As I said, you want to start your company,

research your competition first.

You want to get admitted to a foreign university,

start researching big universities.

Like split those into small goals and create a Trello desk.

Trello is a free service that you can use.

It can go online and create your own desk-- maybe like five

that I use.

And I use them to split my goals into small steps

that I can do every day.

Another thing connected to this rule and that

does not work-- well, at least, for me,

I know some people say if you share your goal with everybody,

then you have more motivation to work on it.

They start completing their goals

by posting on Instagram like, hey,

I just decided to start my company.

just decided to start my channel.

Watch me, I'm going to rock it, blah, blah, blah.

I think this is a wrong approach.

With this action, you're sending your brain a signal

like I've made my first step and your brain is like, oh,

congrats, well done.

Let's go watch Netflix.

There is new TV series.

That doesn't work.

That doesn't get you to your goal.

The second reason why I don't like this

is that because if you do not accomplish what you promised,

then people would think you're a liar or you're a lazy person.

So I just do it.

Another practice that I implemented my life.

If you need to do something that you really hate,

like preparing a report, tell your brain

we're going to work for 25 minutes only,

and then we're going to take a five minute break.

And then we're going to work for 25 minutes again,

and then we're going to take a five minute break.

Because when you anticipate an hour of working,

you're going to look for reasons to not do this job.

But if you really need to do it, telling your brain that it's

only 25 minutes and then you go we're going to grab coffee,

we're going to grab tea, we're going

to listen to music, that makes it more relaxing.

So try splitting your workday into 25 minute slots.

I bet you're going to see the progress.

Like, I saw the progress immediately

when I started doing this, when I

started doing this and applying this rule to tasks

that I hate, hate, hate.

The last two things that I wanted

to add in this video, guys, sleep well.

This is super important.

This is so important, you can't really imagine.

When you wake up and when you have

like healthy eight hours of sleep,

you can work on a completely different level.

There is an area in a brain that is called cortex.

And it is responsible for producing

high level results that are created with your brain.

When you're deprived of sleep, this part doesn't actually

receive a lot of blood.

And we go down with our needs.

We don't think of creating a new company.

We just think of sleeping, getting more sugar, relaxation,

blah, blah, blah.

So sleep well.

This is super important.

And healthy sleep is much more important

than solving a problem or watching Netflix.

Sorry, Netflix, I don't me to--

getting a good sleep is so much better and so

much more important than finishing your tasks today,

tonight, or watching another video, or just relaxing.

Just go to bed and sleep.

And the last thing, try to be within a community of people

who have the same goals, because together, you just motivate

each other to work harder.

For example, if you want to learn a language,

you're going to study language, go to language school.

I hope you guys will get through a language [INAUDIBLE]

if you do.

And you will be surrounded by students who

are learning the same language.

And many of them want to stay in the country

and apply for a university degree,

I want to move to this country and get a job,

or if you want to do the split, go to the gym,

take a class where everybody tries to do a split.

And you will be surrounded by other people

with the same goals.

Guys, if you still watching this video,

please take part in my research.

Write down in comments below how long do

do you sleep each night.

I actually track my sleep with a bracelet.

And I would say I sleep on average five to six hours,

but this means that I spend, at least, eight hours in bed

just resting, but the deep sleep is like five to six hours.

Let me know how long do you sleep each night,

and let's compare our answers.

This was it for today guys.

Thank you so much for your questions.
