Q & A
为什么要将理想中的生活方式通过小规模的行动现在就开始实践?
-通过在小规模上实践理想生活方式的行动,可以逐步建立起实现这些理想所需的习惯和技能,从而在未来能够更顺利地维持这种生活方式。
作者提到了哪些方法可以帮助我们逐步实现每天写作两小时的目标?
-作者建议从每天写作5分钟开始,逐步增加到15分钟、30分钟、1小时,随着时间推移,慢慢增加到每天两小时,以此来实现长期目标。
为什么说如果我们现在不开始做某些事情,将来也会很难开始?
-如果我们现在不开始做某些事情,意味着我们没有在这些领域积累经验和技能,将来当我们决定开始时,会因为缺乏准备而感到更加困难。
作者提到了哪些活动可以帮助我们更好地实现目标?
-作者提到了写作、社交媒体、自由职业等活动,通过不断尝试和执行基本任务,可以发现自己真正想要的东西,并逐步向理想未来迈进。
为什么说通过投资精神能量到一个目标上,可以培养出激情?
-当我们投入到实现目标所需的行动中时,我们会在这个过程中发现新的事物,这些发现会激发我们的激情,因为我们通过直接经验获得了没有其他方式能够获得的认识和感受。
作者如何定义'概念生存'?
-概念生存是人类现象,其中我们的生存本能已经超越了物理领域,包括了形成我们自我感觉的思想、概念和信仰。我们通过与目标一致的行动和对目标的精神投资来构建自我概念,从而努力维持我们对自我概念的生存。
为什么说如果我们不朝着自己的理想未来工作,就是在为别人的未来工作?
-因为我们作为目标导向的生物,如果我们不为自己设定目标并投资于那个身份,我们就会投资于被赋予给我们的身份,如大学生、公司职员或65岁退休的人,我们的行为将会遵循那个身份所需的生存方式。
作者建议如何安排一天中的不同时间段来提高效率和创造力?
-作者建议早上用于创造、产出和专注;下午用于阅读、学习和社交;睡前用于日记、计划和冥想,以此来填满、清空和使用大脑。
为什么说深度工作(Deep Work)对于现代人来说不再是一个选项,而是一个必要?
-在充满通知、选择和压力的世界中,深度工作是必要的,因为它可以帮助我们屏蔽干扰,专注于对未来或业务的建设,从而在最短的时间内完成最有效的工作。
什么是优先级梯度(Priority Ladder),它如何帮助我们改变生活?
-优先级梯度是一个工作优先级排序系统,从最重要的创造性工作到日常维护任务,分为四个优先级。通过每天至少一个小时的专注工作,可以逐步实现生活中的改变。
作者如何建议我们处理日常的维护任务,比如回复邮件和信息?
-作者建议将这些维护任务放在一天中的第四优先级时间段处理,这样可以避免在早晨的专注时间段被打扰,保持专注和效率。
Outlines
🕒 投资时间于未来理想生活
第一段主要讲述了如何将你的理想未来生活带入现实,即通过逐步增加时间来实践你未来理想生活中的行为。作者提倡从小规模开始,比如每天写作5分钟,逐渐增加到2小时,因为等待和推迟你未来将要做的工作是没有意义的。此外,作者分享了自己如何通过写作找到自己的热情,并且强调了通过持续的小步骤来建立动力和激情的重要性。

Highlights
如果你能花8小时帮助别人实现梦想,那么你也能花1小时来构建自己的梦想。
一个强大的理念是将你的未来理想带入现在,即在更小的规模上执行你理想生活中会采取的行动。
通过逐步增加每天投入的时间,直到你能够维持每天两小时的写作生活方式。
如果你现在没有时间每天写15分钟,那么你将来也不会有时间,如果写作将成为你的工作。
通过执行基本任务来尝试事物,以便了解你真正想要的是什么。
写作不仅是我未来的基础,也是我清理思绪和发挥创造力的方式。
将你的行动从理想未来带入现在,并开始执行它们,你开始通过专注于目标来投资心理能量。
你不仅仅是找到一个你非常热衷的行动,而是通过投资心理能量到一个目标,你做到达目标所需的行动,然后沿途培养激情。
当你不朝着这个目标工作时,你会感到仿佛你在浪费那个货币,你在浪费那项投资。
概念生存是人类现象,我们的生存本能已经超越了物质领域,包括在心理中。
如果你不朝着自己的理想未来工作,那么你就是在为别人的未来工作。
你需要每天专门的时间用于创造力、生产力和实验。
即使你每天只能抽出最少量的时间,你也在为自己的未来生活而努力创造。
现代生活已经变得正常,你被困在了矩阵中,这是一个比喻,意味着你只是日常例程的奴隶。
你需要三个活动来全力追求你的目标:充实你的头脑、清空你的头脑、使用你的头脑。
深度工作是关于在尽可能少的时间内完成最有效的工作,而不是看谁能工作最长。
通过优先级阶梯,你可以在六个月内通过每天一小时的专注工作大幅改变你的生活。
优先级一应该是你用来构建未来愿景的主要项目,这是你每天早晨首先要做的事情。
一旦你开始看到成果,并将这些成果系统化,你就应该开始新的项目,以保持动力和多巴胺的流动。
优先级四是维护任务,比如查看和回复消息、电子邮件,以及参与社区互动。
将这些任务安排在一天中的最后,以避免过早分散注意力。
Transcripts
If you can spend 8 hours
building someone else's
dreams, you can spend one hour building your own.
One of the most powerful ideas
I've been thinking about recently
is bringing your ideal, your future into the now.
And what I mean by
that is performing the same actions that you would
in your ideal lifestyle, but on a much smaller scale.
So let's say I want to write for 2 hours every morning
for the rest of my life.
Then what I'm going to do, I already do that right now.
But what I did in the past
is I am going to start writing for 5 minutes a day,
15 minutes a day, 30 minutes a day, one hour
a day, and slowly increasing over the years
until I can
sustain the two hour a day writing lifestyle,
because, frankly,
it doesn't make sense to wait and put off what you're
already going to be doing,
because I'm assuming what you're going to be doing
is going to be directly attributing to the work
you are going to do or your life's work.
And so if you're not already doing those things,
then you
it's going to be much more difficult
when you decide to finally start doing them.
And already
you're already going to have to start small
and taper up.
So if you don't have the time right now
to write for 15 minutes every day,
you're not going to have the time in the future
if writing is going to be what you're doing for work.
And so the way that you dissect
what actions you should be taking
is what we're going to talk about soon.
This whole video is dedicated to deep work
and actually executing on the tasks
that you're going to be doing.
But slowly tapering up until you can do them longer.
And so the reason I want to write for
the rest of my life is just that, right?
I realized my ideal future
and I realized that I'm going
to have to be writing anyways
if I want to continue writing into the future.
I also realized that writing
was not the first thing, right?
You have to try things and start to execute
on fundamental tasks in order to understand
what it is that you want.
Right.
Because at first my desires were selfish.
They still kind of are,
but I knew that I had to make money
somehow in order to sustain
or build a future lifestyle for myself
and so with that, I started on social media.
Before that I did freelancing and other things.
And through that trial and error and realizing, okay,
I don't like client work,
I don't really care for web design anymore.
I did at the time, but I outgrew it.
And now I'm getting into this writing thing
and I'm learning all about it and I love it, right?
And I would have never stumbled on that
unless I had already been working
towards my ideal future.
So whether it be
you start writing for 15 minutes every single morning
or you just start working on the things
that will bring you
closer to your ideal future,
That way
you can figure out what you don't want
and allow that to act
as a self corrective compass
into figuring out what you actually do want.
And then once you find
that that's the best place to be, right,
then you can just execute, execute, execute
until you can make it further apart of your day
because it becomes seamless at that point. Right.
When I came across writing
and understood that it is the foundation of all media
and it is how I get my products and services
in front of people and build a name for myself.
I also realized that it helps me clear my mind.
It helps me harness my creative ability.
I started stacking wise behind this one action
so that when I woke up
it was almost automatic
that I just got straight into writing.
So the next thing is
that when you bring your actions from your ideal future
or the things that are going to actualize
your ideal future into the now
and start executing on them,
you begin to invest mental energy in a goal
through focus on that goal.
So you are investing energy in that ideal lifestyle
that you were trying to create.
And the more you do this,
whether it be 15 minutes a day
or an hour
in a day or 4 hours a day, you're investing energy
or currency in a metaphorical sense here.
And so the more you do it,
the more you feel obligated to do it.
That's how you build momentum
and that's how you find passion.
You don't just find an action
that you're super passionate about.
Instead, you start investing mental energy into a goal.
You do the actions
that are required to get to that goal,
and then you cultivate passion along the way
because you discover things
that you wouldn't have discovered
without that direct experience.
And so when you don't work on this goal,
you will feel as if you are wasting that currency,
you're wasting that investment.
And so then again,
your body and your mind are going to tell you,
Hey, I need to get back to doing this goal.
I can't get distracted
or else I'm not going to feel the progress,
the momentum, the passion that I felt before.
And that's how you sustain
a passionate, fulfilling and momentum full life.
And so another thing that comes into play
here is my lore of conceptual survival.
Conceptual survival is the human phenomenon
where our survival instincts
have transcended the physical realm
and are included in the mental.
We work to survive
ideas, concepts and beliefs
that form our sense of self.
So if you identify or you create this goal
that starts to form your perspective
and how you view the world
and start acting in alignment
with it
and investing mental energy into that goal
or your future identity, you start to slowly build
that identity, right?
And by conceptual survival, we are trying to survive
our concept of self,
and so our actions are going to align with that.
The more that we do these things,
the more that you are consistent
with the deeper work
that we are going to talk about here.
And so with this,
when you view
your daily situations from the lens of your future self
or from the lens of the goal that you are working
towards,
you are going to see life in a completely different
light, right?
You're going to be scrolling on social media and a post
that you normally wouldn't have stopped and looked at
is going to stop your scroll
and it is going to help you
in the actualization of that goal.
Like a fitness post is going to grab your attention
more than some mindless, cheap entertainment post.
And the same goes with conversations
you're going to listen
from the lens of your goal
and be able to filter what they say from that
so you can spot the things that actually help
you move towards that goal.
So the main lesson here
to end this little section of the video is that
if you aren't working towards your ideal future,
you're working towards someone else's,
because either way we are goal oriented creatures
and if you do not create your own goal
and start to invest energy in that identity,
you're going to invest energy into the identity
that is assigned to you.
Like being a college student
or having a corporate job title
or being a retired at 65 years old dude
and your actions are going to follow
to survive that belief,
whether you are conscious
or want to frame it
as this whole conceptual survival thing or not.
And so next we're going to talk about the holistic
daily routine.
Fill your brain in the afternoons with books, learning
and socialization.
Empty your brain
before bed with journaling, planning and meditation.
Use your brain in the morning with creation, output
and focus.
You need dedicated time
every single day
for creativity, productivity and experimentation.
That is what's going to help you achieve your goals
because you need the mixture.
It can't only be productivity without experimentation
and being able to refine along the way,
or you're just executing on tasks
that have been laid in front of you.
And so the first objection that comes to mind here
is that you don't have enough time.
Dan I don't have enough time, and that's fine.
I'm not asking you
to spend 4 hours a day
on this or 6 hours a day or 8 hours a day.
I'm asking you
to spend the minimum amount of time you can,
because if you don't,
then you aren't creating your future life.
Like if you aren't dedicating time
and actually blocking out and focusing for that time
in order to move levers towards your ideal future,
then you're not going to create it.
It's that simple and you don't.
You shouldn't feel like you need to.
3 hours at the very start of your journey,
like a young dude who has no responsibilities.
If you have a wife and kids,
then yeah, you're going to have to start
with 15 to 30 minutes and work up from there
and it's going to take a bit longer
because that's the thing.
A lot of people don't realize this or notice
this is that your psyche isn't wired
for modern life, right?
It's not wired
for being under fluorescent
lights, going in, sitting in a cubicle.
Right. Think of it like a monkey in a cubicle.
I know you're not a monkey, but a monkey would suffer
in a cubicle because it's psyche is not wired for that.
We need to hunt.
And in this age, what I mean by hunting is
novel dopamine.
Sources or meaningful dopamine sources or importance.
Something new in your life.
Discoveries, creativity.
That's what hunting is,
is being able to find something new.
Take it, create something with it.
And that feels so good.
And so many people don't
have that benefit in their life.
So if modern life has become normal to you,
the repetitive NPC automaton, lifestyle denoting
automaton is like a little robotic doll thing.
That's what most people are.
If this modern life becomes normal to you,
you are by definition trapped in the matrix,
which is a metaphorical term
for you are just enslaved and a slave to routine.
And many of you are familiar
with how I structure my days.
So I will keep this brief.
You need three activities to pursue your goals.
Full force, one that fills your mind.
You need education, ideas, and novel resources.
You can apply towards your goals.
This will lead to intrinsic motivation,
one that empties your mind.
You don't want to be trapped in a chaotic bubble
of thoughts and useful ideas.
That's exactly how you make zero progress.
Write things down and one that uses your mind.
You need a vessel
to focus your efforts with your ideas
and the clarity to execute build your future.
So this video is going to be focused on that last point
using your mind with deep work.
Now, I've talked about that entire process before
in my previous video,
the three step productivity framework.
It's about the fill empty use framework.
So check that out
if you're interested, who you are,
what you think, feel and do.
What you love is the sum of what you focus on.
Cal Newport
So now we're going to talk about the need for deep
work.
Cal Newport is the author of the book Deep Work.
I have it somewhere out in my living room.
I've never read it,
but I have been doing my own version of deep
work for the past
ten years.
Really? I'd say price six years. Actually.
Productivity is about getting
the most effective work done
in the least amount of time possible.
Productivity is not about seeing
who can work the longest
and then where that as a badge of honor
that they can show their friends, coworkers and peers.
That's just a status game.
In a world of notifications, ample options
and overwhelm deep work is frankly no longer an option.
It is a necessity.
You have to block out time to work on your future
or to work on your business, or just to avoid
conversation, notification or distractions as a whole.
Need to sit back.
You need to channel the creative
firepower that you've gained through your consumption
or your education or your skill acquisition.
And you need to focus that into a vessel, a business
to act,
to reap the benefits
from that business in the form of money, connections
and just resources in general,
and then be able to have that as currency
that you can trade up
towards a better life for yourself.
Deep work
is how you build out your dreams in record time.
So now we're going to talk about the priority ladder.
And with this, with the priority ladder,
you can drastically change your life
in six months with one hour a day of focused work.
One hour, that's it.
Do not think that you need anything more
than one hour,
one meaningful project, one day at a time.
So with the priority ladder, it's pretty.
It's just that it's a priority ladder
where there's priority one, two, three and four
and they are all not only decreasing in challenge
but also increasing in
the amount of distraction potential that there is.
Right.
So priority one is just absolute
laser focused on building out your vision
with through a project.
And then priority four
is something like maintenance tasks
where you are responding to emails,
responding to messages
and doing other things like that,
where you are more open
to actually potentially being distracted
because there's nothing after that, right?
There's no creative work that you have to do.
So we will start with priority one now, Priority one,
this is this pretty much built my entire life, right?
For as long as I can remember,
even into my younger years, I always had one project
that I was working on
pretty close to first thing in the morning.
Now it's always first thing in the morning.
Like right now I'm writing my book
because that is a new project, right?
It is not something that I have to consistently work on
right now.
Like it's
not something that I have to maintain or update always.
It's something new.
And so that's what the first priority should be, right?
So if you have not built anything
and you only have one hour a day to spare,
this is the one hour time block that you use.
This is where you're focusing your efforts
on the levers that are going to lead
to creating your vision for the future.
And then once that is done so for beginners, it's
probably going to be something like
starting a social media
brand,
learning how to write with my
to a writer or digital economics course.
And then as you break
through the perception threshold
that we talked about in a previous video,
where it's very difficult at the beginning
but slowly becomes more pleasurable with time,
where it's going to be difficult
and your mind is going to perceive it
as more difficult than it's going to be.
And that perceived
this difficulty is going to increase.
And you until you hit that breakthrough, right.
And then you're able to systemize things
and then it just flows a lot smoother
and then you can fit so much more into that hour,
Right.
Your first hour of focused work
isn't going to be that focused.
You have to stick it out
and refine your system with time.
And then once you start seeing results
from that first hour of work,
then you move that into the second priority time blocks
so you can start working on something new, right?
So then when we move into priority two, that's
where your lever moving tasks go.
So in this case, for me, it's like
replying on social media or creating content,
mostly creating content
because that's like how I feed my system, right?
And it's creative work.
It's something that I do not want to outsource.
And then what
people before, when you move that up
to the second priority,
you're going to start something new in priority one,
because that is what's going to keep
meaningful dopamine flowing
and that is what's going to maintain momentum
along this path
until you systemize that
and then you bump it up another priority, right?
So for the
the next thing that most people
should do after starting a social media brand
and once they start seeing results with that
and it becomes a lot more efficient
for them to keep up with that,
then you're going to start
building a service or a product
so that you can monetize.
And then once that's done, you move that up
and start reaching out to people,
but then you can start building out
a funnel or something else.
And then all of these things slowly
like build on each other over time,
the third time
block is also for lever moving tasks or creative tasks
or meaningful tasks, right?
So the things that you don't want to outsource,
I will never outsource my writing.
At least I hope I won't. Maybe I will.
But in terms of
like just writing in my day,
I'm not going to outsource it as a whole.
The third time block is just to continue
keeping the momentum going on.
Whatever you're building.
And all of this can also apply to like a corporate job
or just any work that you have.
You have to structure your days with this method.
And so the fourth time block or the priority
for is for maintenance tasks.
And for me,
that's like checking messages, responding to messages,
checking emails, responding to emails,
checking the modern mastery community
and interacting there.
This is where I expose myself to people, right?
It sounds kind of weird to say it that way, but
if you expose yourself to messages or your phone
or notifications
that way too early in the morning,
that one rogue thought that you get from it
that you think isn't of importance
when you first see it, like, Oh,
I can touch my phone in the morning and work just fine.
No, you can't. It's going to pop up.
And then that alone is going to split your focus
and then that opens up room for entropy,
where your mind starts
going to all these different thoughts
without you knowing it. That's the thing.
You probably think it's normal right now
for you to do that, and you think that you're doing
the best, most efficient work you are, but you're not.
So you push back all of the conversational
and maintenance tasks to the fourth priority.
And now with all of these,
I like to structure these anywhere
from 45 to 90 minutes long time blocks for priority
one, two, three and four each.
And then in between,
I'll take a break or make breakfast
or make lunch or go on a 30 to 40 minute walk
and listen to something in my ears,
usually closer to the last ones.
But in a nutshell, that's really it.
There's no reason for me to go over
exactly like all every little hack that I do, because
the entire joy
of all of this comes through experimentation
and creating a way that you like doing
and just testing different techniques.
So that's a technique
that I'm giving you that you can test
and then you can pull some of the good things from it,
put it into your own day
and slowly
refine that over time until you live a completely
self-made lifestyle, if you will.
So if you enjoyed this process, first
I encourage you to implement it.
Second,
I encourage you to like and subscribe and comment
comment.
If anything stuck out to you
or what you're going to implement.
Because I'm curious to hear
which parts stuck out the most there.
And then third,
check out the products to our writer
digital economics Modern Mastery community
that you can join for
five bucks
links in the description along with some other free
my power planner, which also helps with productivity.
And then some other cool resources down there.
So check those out.
And with that, have a great rest of your day piece.
