77. Focus on the Task at Hand

1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:09,900 What is oppressing you? So I want to talk about things that are going on in our 2 00:00:09,900 --> 00:00:17,720 mind and external factors that are affecting our behaviors, thoughts, 3 00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:26,560 attitude, mood, worldview. All of this stuff can be affected by simple things. 4 00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:31,200 Like, I've got something oppressing me right now in my mind mentally and I 5 00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:35,840 don't know what exactly it is but I have a prediction that it might be school. 6 00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:43,120 So I'm reading a book called 10x is easier than 2x and he's pretty much 7 00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:51,680 talking about the part that I'm on right now is he's saying you have to be focusing 8 00:00:51,680 --> 00:01:00,200 on the 20%. So let me explain the 20%. We have 80% of our activities are 9 00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:04,960 comfortable. We've been doing them for a while. We're pretty good at them. We could 10 00:01:04,960 --> 00:01:13,400 be excellent at them and they're kind of just us doing those activities for 80% 11 00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:18,400 of the time is just complacency. We're just okay with where we're at right now. 12 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:33,560 But then there's the 20% excuse me. It's the 20% that is this 20% is what is 13 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:39,960 gonna move us forward. So the 80% is what got us here. Like what got you here 14 00:01:39,960 --> 00:01:46,400 won't get you there and the 20% is what will get you there. But unfortunately we 15 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:55,080 only spent 20% of our time getting us there and so what the 10x process is 16 00:01:55,080 --> 00:02:04,360 all about is dropping all of the 80% or finding the right who finding the 17 00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:12,080 right person finding the right somebody to take on that 80% so that can still be 18 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:20,000 maintained and excelled and like improved upon but you just have to not do it 19 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:25,320 yourself because now you have to focus on that 20%. This 20% is what will help you 20 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:34,080 move forward. And for me I think that my 80% is school. I'm a high school student. 21 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:41,240 It's October 4th and I graduate probably like December 20th so I've got like two 22 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:49,120 months left. I'm a senior so I got two months left but I just I just know that 23 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:54,080 I shouldn't be doing school. Like there's just I can't find a single 24 00:02:54,080 --> 00:03:02,000 benefit to school. Like before my one benefit that I would always fall back on 25 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:06,160 I'd say school sucks. The only thing that's good about it is the social aspect. 26 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:12,440 The social piece. But now I'm not even sure if the social piece is even good 27 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:18,520 either because I'm noticing I'm reading all these books and I'm realizing that 28 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:24,560 everyone is fake. Like I was watching this movie called I'm pretty sure it's 29 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:30,680 called The Visit and I was watching it in first period in my humanities class 30 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:39,120 and it's basically a movie that was made in like the 1900s and it's black and 31 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:45,920 white. And in the movie it's based off of a film or not a film a play and so it's 32 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:55,400 basically about how this woman was with a man and then something like the man 33 00:03:55,400 --> 00:04:02,720 like the woman had a baby with him and then she like went up to him and told 34 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:08,160 him about it and then the man like married someone else. So then the woman 35 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:16,280 left like the town and then she became the world's richest person because she 36 00:04:16,280 --> 00:04:22,400 married some other guy who owned 5% of the world. Like imagine owning 5% of the 37 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:30,560 world. I don't know what the world GDP is but you probably be instantly you 38 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:37,240 might even be a trillionaire if you own 5% of the world. I don't even know. But if 39 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:43,760 so she pretty much married this husband who owned 5% of the world and then he 40 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:51,040 died so she inherited 5% of the world. And then turns out that the town that she 41 00:04:51,040 --> 00:05:00,920 grew up in which is the same town that that man still lives in that town was is 42 00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:05,920 struggling and they're like going bankrupt and the town is just dying 43 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:10,200 pretty much like there's no money coming in anymore they had to shut down all the 44 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:16,320 factories the mines like all of this stuff they the town is struggling and so 45 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:24,080 pretty much they expected a visit from the woman and everyone was preparing 46 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:32,680 everyone was getting their nicest fanciest gear fanciest clothing all of 47 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:38,600 this stuff they're getting their fanciest dresses on like suits they're all 48 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:49,720 dressing up perfectly for her visit and then once she guy here she was like 49 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:55,200 walking around with the guy that she had a baby with now I don't know what 50 00:05:55,200 --> 00:06:01,720 happened to the baby because I never saw the baby or the the kid so I don't 51 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:08,360 think the baby is a important part of the movie because I didn't see it yet so 52 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:14,520 pretty much he's walking around with this guy all like looking at the town and 53 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:21,200 then reminiscing on old times but you can tell that she's being extremely what's 54 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:30,920 the word she's being like kind of fake but not fake but she's kind of she's 55 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:36,640 got an ulterior motive so she's kind of leading him on so like for example if she 56 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:42,560 was saying right when they they met up and by the way when she came it was this 57 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:49,120 huge thing like the whole town came and gathered around to watch like to see her 58 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:55,360 and then there was like signs and everything posters all this stuff but 59 00:06:55,360 --> 00:07:01,520 pretty much the when the man and the woman the richest woman and then her 60 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:07,520 ex I'm just gonna say ex-boyfriend when the ex-boyfriend and the woman were 61 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:12,800 walking around she was saying yeah I I planned out this I was thinking about 62 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:18,840 this these moments or I was thinking about this visit for over 20 years I 63 00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:25,280 was thinking about this ever since I left and so she was saying like but then 64 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:29,240 she was also leading him on to where she was doing good she was thinking 65 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:34,760 positively and then but then she would also kind of drop hints that she was not 66 00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:40,200 happy so then they walk around they visit like their old places that they 67 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:45,360 used to go to there was this tree that they went to that they carved a heart 68 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:51,200 with their initials so like initial plus initial and then it's a heart in the 69 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:58,000 tree they went there they just went all around and then the the whole thing that 70 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:05,640 I'm leading up to this is all back so context so then they the whole town or 71 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:11,080 all the important officials of the town gathered into this extremely nice 72 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:19,360 dining room and they all had dinner and this the woman was sitting at the end of 73 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:24,360 the table like she was the centerpiece and then the to the mayor of the town 74 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:32,280 and then the ex-boyfriend were on both sides of her and this was kind of 75 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:38,920 symbolic because then the mayor gave a speech pretty much said like how amazing 76 00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:44,200 this woman was how awesome she is and all the good that she's done but it was 77 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:49,480 all lies he was basically being fake and then the woman exposed him for that 78 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:55,240 like absolutely exposed him she was like yes this guy spoke so highly of me yet 79 00:08:55,240 --> 00:09:01,800 everything was false it was all a lie he was just lying because she knew that 80 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:07,040 everyone was being fake everyone was being fake they were just trying to look 81 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:11,960 out for themselves and they were just being fake and honestly when I was 82 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:18,440 watching it I was I was just thinking about my current situation like everyone 83 00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:23,600 is just fake to each other and you can tell because I'm just like walking around 84 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:29,840 the hallway and I mean I've seen many different things like this group of just 85 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:33,880 one example that just popped in my head was this group of girls they were all 86 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:38,520 they looked like friends and then they all like went to sit down but there 87 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:43,840 wasn't enough seats for there was enough seats for everyone except for one and so 88 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:54,280 the one had to sit down back back a row and kind of had to third wheel with the 89 00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:58,000 group and it was just pretty saddening to see because the group definitely knew 90 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:02,880 that she was she didn't have enough seats and they still chose to sit there 91 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:06,920 anyways that's just one example and I see this all the time every single day 92 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:11,520 which is sad and then I also see in my current current relationships as well 93 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:17,880 like people don't really care they just kind of say courtesy and they don't 94 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:25,440 really care much about you like for example today I was just sitting there 95 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:31,240 and not a single person talked to me the entire class period now that was 96 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:36,080 probably my fault because I was I was in the mood not necessarily in the mood but 97 00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:41,280 I was just kind of like chilling and I was just kind of just trying to get through 98 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:49,640 the gym class but no one really like said a word and just I don't know it's 99 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:55,040 they're not really genuine relationships that you form in high school and 100 00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:59,600 that's that's like pretty much the moral of the story that I just told is 101 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:04,360 everyone is fake in high school and that's that's another reason why I just 102 00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:08,640 don't see any benefit to high school like going to school because I'm not 103 00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:14,400 learning anything you know I've always like last week I went I was out of town 104 00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:21,920 all week and so I missed an entire week of school that's 20 hours of class like I 105 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:28,560 lost I missed 20 hours of being in school and I had to make it all up and 106 00:11:28,560 --> 00:11:33,840 you know how long it took one hour to make up all of the work like that's 107 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:39,040 just that just goes to show how like it's not even efficient for time it's not 108 00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:44,600 even time efficient and it's not it's like the people are fake so all my life 109 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:49,200 I I knew I'm not sure about elementary school but definitely in middle school I 110 00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:57,080 knew that school was a waste and I knew that I didn't like it I knew all these 111 00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:06,520 things but the thing is that I was the only thing that I was holding on to was 112 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:12,920 the fact that it was that I had that social piece but now I don't even think 113 00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:18,880 that that's good enough anymore so I have like two months left of school I'm not 114 00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:24,880 sure if I can even bear it because I've I don't know I just feel oppressed 24 115 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:31,240 seven now I think that it will help once I like get back to normal sleep because 116 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:36,760 I was talking about this yesterday how my sleep was messed up all week last week 117 00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:42,840 and then I went back to kind of normal sleep for the past few days but I I'm 118 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:47,680 still missing like 30 minutes of sleep I think because when I'm meditating I'm 119 00:12:47,680 --> 00:12:51,800 basically sleeping the whole time and I can't even get down as deep of of a 120 00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:57,320 meditation as I used to be able to so I think that I got to get my sleep 121 00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:03,600 improved upon and just I think that it'll get better once I improve my sleep 122 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:10,720 but I don't know and that's another thing like I okay let me explain let me I 123 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:19,880 want to completely shift the topic I I have okay so I leave all my books I 124 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:25,480 store all my books that I read in my closet and I have like maybe a hundred 125 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:29,880 books in there I don't know how many but I have a lot of books I have four piles 126 00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:34,840 and they're they're like they're like pretty tall they're a few maybe a few 127 00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:42,760 feet or maybe one or two feet tall and I have four piles of books and before my 128 00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:49,720 old kind of organization system was this last pile was like trash books that 129 00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:54,920 I'm not gonna read or I read and they suck the second to the right pile is 130 00:13:54,920 --> 00:14:02,560 books that I there are right and I am not gonna read I've read them but I am 131 00:14:02,560 --> 00:14:14,520 not gonna read them again the middle left pile is like books that were decent 132 00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:19,480 or books that were good like ATR that I definitely plan on reading again and 133 00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:25,360 then the left pile is books that I am currently reading that I'm studying so 134 00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:32,440 that would be like expert secrets reality trans surfing and the like those 135 00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:40,160 two books but pretty much I realized I need like a lot more room because I 136 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:45,480 bought like five more books so I have to kind of reorganize my books so I got 137 00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:51,200 rid of a bunch of the trash books and then put them in my attic and then I 138 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:57,560 reorganized my entire shelf so right now I just have the right side the entire 139 00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:04,560 right side is all books the two right rows or the two right what is the word 140 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:10,520 stacks the two right stacks are both books that I'm not planning on reading 141 00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:17,440 and then or at least books that I may read in the far future like books that 142 00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:22,920 I'm not gonna read anytime soon at least for maybe a year or a few months 143 00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:26,600 depending on how things turn out because there is one book that I definitely 144 00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:34,080 plan on reading before I move out and it's ultra learning but I'm not gonna 145 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:38,840 read that until I move out so that that may be a month that may be a year I don't 146 00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:47,000 know how long it'll take and then the so those right side I'm not even touching 147 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:52,200 I'm not even looking at and then there's the left two stacks are the books that 148 00:15:52,200 --> 00:16:00,600 I'm like focusing on so the right okay so the middle left stack is business 149 00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:06,720 books that I am studying so that's the secrets trilogy and what else was there 150 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:17,040 in there I think that's it the secrets trilogy and then there might be one oh 151 00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:21,840 create don't capture which I'm not even sure if it's released yet I got the 152 00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:26,760 early release edition for from fun and locking live and then 10x is easier than 153 00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:30,800 2x those all those business books even though 10x easier than 2x isn't 154 00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:34,200 necessarily a business book but that's like my entrepreneur book even though I 155 00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:41,240 have a lot more entrepreneur books like for our work week the lean startup the 156 00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:47,200 emeth revisited I have a bunch of like when I first decided to go all in on 157 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:53,600 entrepreneurship and business I bought like probably 10 entrepreneur books and 158 00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:59,080 business books and I only read like two of them so all of those books are not in 159 00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:05,040 that pile because I I like I'm not focused on those books right now I don't 160 00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:11,200 want to read them anytime soon so the middle left is business books that I'm 161 00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:19,840 actually using at the moment so all of Russell's books and then the create don't 162 00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:26,200 capture and then 10x is easier than 2x which I guess is a mindset book more 163 00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:29,960 than entrepreneur book but I want that in that pile because that just makes sense 164 00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:35,000 to me but I am creating 10x is easier than 2x right now I'm like almost halfway 165 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:39,760 done so I'm it's not in that pile yet but once I'm done with the output in that 166 00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:45,320 pile and then on the left side is very important all of my spiritual books or 167 00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:50,480 worldview books like all I don't really know what the genre is but I have an 168 00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:57,880 idea of what the genre is so pretty much all of the books that are in the 169 00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:01,880 reading list the ultimate reading list for human beings the reading list that 170 00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:08,600 I've been talking about forever for the past like month it's if you just look 171 00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:12,960 up the most beautiful world and then go to like books and then go on the top 172 00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:16,600 right says reading list you'll be able to see it and I've talked about it 173 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:21,280 plenty of times on this podcast but pretty much I'm going all in on that 174 00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:27,160 reading list because I definitely think that it's extremely valuable for me and 175 00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:35,920 I definitely still want to be reading like I really want I want to reread 176 00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:41,000 reality trans surfing and expert secrets and then I want to reread 10x is 177 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:46,640 easier than 2x in the future so I'll be interspersing those books with my 178 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:53,240 ultimate reading list books and the reason why I'm doing this is because in 179 00:18:53,240 --> 00:19:00,120 the blog post that he posted for this reading list he basically said a bunch 180 00:19:00,120 --> 00:19:04,920 of different things so many different things for example he said learn about 181 00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:11,400 what the world was like before this certain era or before it was like destroyed 182 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:18,080 or I don't even know but he just there's so many things that he said like 183 00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:22,280 actual projection and remote viewing when I first read those I had never even 184 00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:26,760 heard of them and I got into it a little bit and I haven't been able to succeed 185 00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:32,960 in doing it yet but I'm like working on it and so all these things he's talked 186 00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:39,800 about so many different things in this just the intro just the blog post and 187 00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:46,320 that's why I really want to get into it because he has like this amazing worldview 188 00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:52,040 that I'm I really want to have I want to have like the worldview that he has 189 00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:57,120 because he wrote a book called Dancing After Music stops and on the back cover 190 00:19:57,120 --> 00:20:01,560 of it he literally said the type of books or the type of book that will make you 191 00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:06,640 want to drop out of school and I want to drop out of school and so I like he's 192 00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:11,840 just got a he just speaks on my wavelengths he speaks my frequency and 193 00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:15,960 that's why I'm getting all into this reading list especially because it's 194 00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:25,960 this he he he kind of what's the word he gave me a new strategy to read books he 195 00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:33,320 basically said to read seven books at a time and like kind of read one until you 196 00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:37,080 lose focus switch to the next reading that until it was focused and then just 197 00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:40,120 keep on cycling through them and then interspersed with push-ups every once 198 00:20:40,120 --> 00:20:46,280 while and he just said that that is a reading method that you can use to 199 00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:52,760 basically read a book every day every single day one book a day which is 200 00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:58,280 insane because I struggle reading a book a week like even though I read a lot 201 00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:02,120 like over summer I was pretty much reading all day that was like my only 202 00:21:02,120 --> 00:21:06,320 thing that I did all day that in the gym I would go to the gym and then read all 203 00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:10,920 day like that's pretty much it and I would still struggle reading a book a 204 00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:18,480 week I would be able to I remember I read dot-com secrets extra secrets and 205 00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:23,040 traffic secrets probably in three and a half to four weeks so that's three books 206 00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:28,320 in not a week each so I know that it's impressive to read a book a week and 207 00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:33,520 there's like challenges to do that but he said that this method allows you to 208 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:38,880 read a book a day and then he went on to say that the reading method that the 209 00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:45,960 that school system taught you is terrible like they expect you to read from A to Z 210 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:51,600 and then pick up like and then pick up a new book but no one has the attention 211 00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:56,160 span he basically said no one has the attention span to do that and so that's 212 00:21:56,160 --> 00:22:00,120 why you kind of have to switch books multiple times so you can keep that 213 00:22:00,120 --> 00:22:04,480 focus level because I do notice that in times when I'm kind of in the zone or 214 00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:11,000 when I'm interested in what I'm reading like especially when I find a part of 215 00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:16,640 the book when I'm really interested in that then I read it really quick and 216 00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:21,320 I'm kind of like in the zone or like I'm extremely interested so I'm reading it 217 00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:28,240 way quicker so I guess this reading method kind of allows you to read read 218 00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:32,920 in at that speed all the time or at least way longer than you would have 219 00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:38,640 other ones but there is one downside I don't know if I'll be able to retain 220 00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:44,320 that much information which is why I'm doing in this test trial on all brand 221 00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:53,720 new books that are not necessarily immediately impactful like I 222 00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:59,640 Transurfing is definitely immediately impactful but I can get away with not 223 00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:04,800 necessarily retaining that much let me explain when I was reading business 224 00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:10,600 books like expert secrets and 10x is easier than 2x like all these things I 225 00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:16,200 have to pretty much I have to retain all that information maybe not 10x is 226 00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:20,160 easier than 2x but definitely expert secrets and dot com secrets I basically 227 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:26,760 have to retain those information I can't I can't really have a general feeling 228 00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:31,120 because it's not like spirituality but all these other books are like 229 00:23:31,120 --> 00:23:36,920 spirituality books and then worldview and stuff like that so that's why I want 230 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:42,720 to practice or at least test it out on on brand new books that are kind of 231 00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:49,600 spiritual based and the books I'm really excited for because three are already 232 00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:54,280 here I already ordered the first two a while ago but the third one came today 233 00:23:54,280 --> 00:24:02,520 or yesterday actually and the three that I've already come is die wise come of age 234 00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:08,680 dancing after the music stops and then the four that are supposed to come 235 00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:13,560 within like the next 10 days maybe I don't remember when it's supposed to the 236 00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:18,680 one the last one is supposed to come is Toofty by Vadim's own Journey out of 237 00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:28,600 Bodies by Robert Monroe the Egypt code and then a scent on humanity I think 238 00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:34,240 it's going so those are all those those are the seven books that I'm gonna be 239 00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:38,600 reading for the first set and a few of them are pretty long like I'm pretty sure 240 00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:45,240 die wise and come of age are both like fairly long like 350 pages maybe but 241 00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:48,840 I'm really excited to get into this stuff because I've been looking forward to it 242 00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:54,560 for a month and but right now I'm just focusing on finishing 10x's easier than 243 00:24:54,560 --> 00:25:01,080 2x and then I'm gonna do create don't capture those those two books create 244 00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:08,800 don't captures fairly quick it's like 150 pages and it's a fairly small book 245 00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:14,640 but that's pretty much my plan right now and I want to I want to be honest with 246 00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:20,040 you guys I think that my sleep is dead well a hundred percent my sleep is 247 00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:26,560 definitely affecting me but I'm not sure how much information I'm retaining from 248 00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:31,040 10x's easier than the 2x or if it's simply because it's a brand new book and 249 00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:35,600 that's just how it goes because for example when I'm reading reality 250 00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:39,360 trans surfing for the second time like when I was just podcasting and talking 251 00:25:39,360 --> 00:25:44,640 about it I was able to talk about the principles for hours and I have a 252 00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:49,640 suspicion that it's because I have had already built a background knowledge on 253 00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:57,040 it because I read it already but I also am kind of like strengthening it by 254 00:25:57,040 --> 00:26:02,760 reading it a second time through so I'm able to have a lot more knowledge or a 255 00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:08,880 lot more understanding on it and I don't I'm not getting this with the 10x's 256 00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:15,400 easier than 2x it's pretty it's fairly difficult for me to talk about it because 257 00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:20,120 I I don't I'm not retaining much and maybe it's because when I was reading 258 00:26:20,120 --> 00:26:24,600 trans surfing for the second time through I was taking a lot of notes on a 259 00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:29,720 separate journal I pretty much filled up an entire journal just from my notes 260 00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:36,160 from the second time through so I wrote a lot I was writing way more than like I 261 00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:43,080 was I was being extremely excessive like I was going for a quantity over 262 00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:47,520 quality with that and so I think I was able to retain a lot more but with 10x's 263 00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:52,560 easier than 2x one it's my first time reading it and two I'm not writing stuff 264 00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:58,640 down so I'm not getting that like extra strengthening and solidifying because if 265 00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:02,240 you guys remember when I was telling you about the my reading strategy it's 266 00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:09,720 pretty much I okay so a normal passively reading which is what I'm doing 267 00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:20,280 right now for 10x's easier than 2x passive reading I pretty much I okay so 268 00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:26,840 passive reading I pretty much just it passes through my mind once so it goes 269 00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:30,480 straight through my mind like just once because I'm reading the words I go down 270 00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:38,400 the page read the words and it's all going down through once but my my reading 271 00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:42,240 method the study method that I was doing for trans surfing it was passing 272 00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:47,880 through my mind so many more times so I was reading it once that's one time and 273 00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:54,840 then I would write it down that's another time and then I would what did I do 274 00:27:54,840 --> 00:28:02,600 next I talked about it on the podcast so that's another time and then I but it's 275 00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:09,680 multiple different versions so just reading it is just a mind piece it's 276 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:14,560 just kind of like thinking it but then writing it is like using your hand and 277 00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:18,960 it uses a different like component of the mind and then speaking it and teaching 278 00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:23,480 it is a brand new part it's the speaking part and it's also like you have to 279 00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:27,400 understand a lot more to be able to explain it so you have to think about it 280 00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:33,160 more in depth to be able to explain it simply or easily and then after that I 281 00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:38,200 would basically write a summary at nighttime I would write a summary of 282 00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:42,280 what I learned that day so that's another piece it's like a writing piece but 283 00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:47,520 it's also kind of recall it's recall so it's it's another part which I guess 284 00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:54,120 recall is also in teaching on the podcast but then in the morning I would 285 00:28:54,120 --> 00:29:04,000 reread that summary so that's five and then after a while of building up okay 286 00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:08,320 so oh wait wait so let me just say this and then the next day I would talk to my 287 00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:15,080 friend about it so that's six so I teach him again and then after a while I 288 00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:21,800 would combine all of my notes so I would read all my notes and then 289 00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:29,120 that's seven reread them all and then I would star all of the important ones and 290 00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:34,680 then once I reread them all and start all the important ones I would rewrite 291 00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:40,840 them on a brand new page so I would go through and rewrite like ten pages 292 00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:49,160 sometimes maybe 12 pages other times I think one time I was at like 16 pages I 293 00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:56,520 rewrite like pretty much 16 pages of work so that's eight I think or nine I 294 00:29:56,520 --> 00:30:04,120 don't know I lost count already so let's just say eight and then I would record 295 00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:10,480 another episode on based on those notes like the consolidated precise notes and 296 00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:21,040 that is ten ten ten the ten state I'm sorry it's I was listening to the gateway 297 00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:26,440 I've been using the gateway process and he always says once you reach like focus 298 00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:35,160 ten he's like ten ten ten so I just wanted to make that connection but 299 00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:40,000 pretty much the study method it was strengthening solidifying ten times like 300 00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:45,480 I was it was passing through my mind at least ten times like even especially the 301 00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:49,760 most important part like the most important notes were passing through my 302 00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:57,400 mind ten times versus one time so it makes sense that like everything is 303 00:30:57,400 --> 00:31:03,320 stacking up that I'm not able to talk about the 10x is using the 2x because 304 00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:08,240 one I'm not like it's my first time I don't have any background knowledge on 305 00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:13,240 it two I'm just passively learning it because there's a reason why school is 306 00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:18,480 not that good at teaching because passive like schools all about passive 307 00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:22,120 learning like the teacher just says things to you and that most of the time 308 00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:27,160 you don't really even hear it and if you do hear it it's hard to keep it in 309 00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:31,640 unless you write it down repeat it so that's like it's kind of what I'm 310 00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:37,280 thinking right now but I want to talk about this one thing that kind of came 311 00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:46,400 up so my friend is getting into learning a language right now and it's because 312 00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:50,680 we're both planning on moving out soon and so he's learning the language of 313 00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:58,800 the country that he's moving out to and pretty much right now he's he bought he 314 00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:04,320 was on DuLingo DuLingo yesterday learning the language and then I like told 315 00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:10,440 him because in ultra learning pretty much duly according to the book ultra 316 00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:19,720 learning and I agree DuLingo is very bad for learning a language and it's 317 00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:26,680 because it's kind of like gives you the answers and it's not really too realistic 318 00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:34,600 it's not too realistic and because think about it when you're trying to learn okay 319 00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:39,200 so right now all the all the things I'm saying to you right now are from I'm 320 00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:46,640 pulling kind of phrases from like a bank or a database in my mind and I'm using 321 00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:54,040 commonly used phrases so that's pretty much how you learn a language or at 322 00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:59,120 least get to speaking level like you're able to fluently get have a normal 323 00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:03,520 conversation that's how you get it you basically rep out all the common phrases 324 00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:07,000 like hello nice to meet you hello nice to meet you and you constantly rep that 325 00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:13,920 out but the thing with DuLingo is it kind of just it gives you a lot of it 326 00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:19,960 gives you it's basically a multiple choice and like kind of the John or the 327 00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:27,240 what's the word the way it's structured is it's not really structured very well 328 00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:34,640 for what it's not really structured optimally for learning language because 329 00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:42,320 it's not necessarily realistic because it's kind of multiple choice or you're 330 00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:49,280 kind of like hearing a phrase and you write it down I don't know I don't remember 331 00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:54,320 exactly what ultra learning said about DuLingo all I remember is that don't do 332 00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:58,680 it's a waste of time and I actually have an experience of this in middle school 333 00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:05,880 so for context I've been in I've been in Spanish I've been taking Spanish classes 334 00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:14,560 since first grade I believe so from first grade and until junior year so junior I 335 00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:20,160 didn't take a Spanish in junior year so I took from first grade all the way 336 00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:26,160 through sophomore year sophomore year was my last year of Spanish so that's five 337 00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:33,200 eight that's ten years of learning in Spanish ten years okay so do you think 338 00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:36,960 that if you spent ten years learning a language you think you'd be able to learn 339 00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:42,160 it no if you did it through the American education system you would not be able 340 00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:47,560 to learn a language in ten years not even even if I stayed and still did a 341 00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:55,400 language in junior year and senior year I like that would be like 12 years I still 342 00:34:55,400 --> 00:35:01,680 would not be able to learn a language now let me explain it's all passive 343 00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:06,440 learning like I said before passive learning but it's also like you have to 344 00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:12,300 be fully immersed in the language so pretty much the best way and Timothy 345 00:35:12,300 --> 00:35:15,560 Ferris talked about this in the four-hour work week as well but pretty much 346 00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:24,160 the best way to learn a language is by fully immersing yourself in that language 347 00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:29,600 and only speak that language which is why after I read ultra learning I realized 348 00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:35,800 oh I have to get rich first or oh I have to move out to this country first and 349 00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:44,240 then I'll be able to actually I'll be able to actually get enough like I'll be 350 00:35:44,240 --> 00:35:50,000 able to actually immerse myself that's what I'm trying to say and so pretty much 351 00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:55,160 out my plan was to build my business and then move out to those countries and 352 00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:59,520 then move there for like six months at a time or three months at a time and then 353 00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:03,520 learn the language and learn like another skill because that's what Timothy 354 00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:08,960 Tim Ferriss does he basically learns two skills at once so he learns like a 355 00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:13,800 mental skill and then a physical skill so for example I don't remember what 356 00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:19,160 country he learned how to dance in but he became like a world-class dancer because 357 00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:22,720 he was learning how to dance and then he was also learning that native language 358 00:36:22,720 --> 00:36:34,080 so let's just say I want to go to Spain and or I want to go to where's a good 359 00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:38,880 place I don't even I can't really think of anything right now but I want to go 360 00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:44,480 alright so right now my goal is to go to Hawaii so let's imagine I think that 361 00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:53,680 most people in Hawaii speak English but I think that I think that there's a lot 362 00:36:53,680 --> 00:37:01,040 of native languages there so let's just say for example I moved to Hawaii learn 363 00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:04,840 how to surf that's the physical skill and then I learned the native language or 364 00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:10,320 I learned one of the native languages so that's that's kind of like what he does 365 00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:14,640 and that's what I'm planning on doing as well because it's a lot more efficient 366 00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:19,200 you can learn you can learn an entire language or at least get fluent in an 367 00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:24,520 entire language in three months if you like fully immerse yourself and don't 368 00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:29,360 speak English at all like go to that country go to Spain for three months 369 00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:33,800 don't speak English at all and just go out every day and practice wrap it out 370 00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:38,800 wrap it out and then that's pretty much and that's why earlier in this part 371 00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:42,720 earlier in this episode I said that I'm gonna be read one of the books I'm 372 00:37:42,720 --> 00:37:46,920 gonna be rereading that's in my like already read books or books that I'm 373 00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:50,720 not gonna read for quite some time one of the books I'm gonna be rereading 374 00:37:50,720 --> 00:37:56,920 before I leave is ultra learning just so I can like fresh get a refresher of 375 00:37:56,920 --> 00:38:02,920 how to do it and then I'll be actually applying it this time but that's that's 376 00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:08,520 like why I'm thinking I told my friend don't do Duolingo or I warned him about 377 00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:12,600 it and then he came back to me the next day and like today he said yeah you're 378 00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:17,040 right about Duolingo but then he went on and bought a different he actually bought 379 00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:23,640 a year's membership of this one I don't remember what this software was called 380 00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:28,400 but he bought a year's membership to this one language learning website which I 381 00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:33,280 still don't think is good because it's basically Duolingo but a different name 382 00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:39,360 is what I saw but I'm just gonna let him go his pack and that's what I said 383 00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:42,840 don't let me steer you off course if this is what you want to do this is what 384 00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:49,720 you got to do and that's that's why I I just let him do his thing and I'll just 385 00:38:49,720 --> 00:38:55,520 focus on my own thing because right now would be a huge waste of time for me to 386 00:38:55,520 --> 00:39:00,440 learn like Spanish because I have I do have a desire to learn Spanish but I'm 387 00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:05,040 not focusing on it right now it would be a huge waste of time for me if I just 388 00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:08,960 spent a lot of time and effort and energy trying to learn Spanish right now 389 00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:14,000 because right now I'm trying to learn spirituality and business or at least 390 00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:18,160 just spirituality because the business side I already have a plan on how to move 391 00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:22,680 forward on my business I just have to kind of wait I really hate saying that 392 00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:28,360 because I guess me saying it out loud I'm not really doing enough I guess 393 00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:32,480 because I keep on saying I got to wait for something to happen or I got to wait 394 00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:40,080 until I reach 100 episodes I don't know I don't like saying that because it's 395 00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:45,480 makes me feel like I'm not doing enough but I know that I'm on the right track 396 00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:50,560 just keep on doing what I'm doing and I'm guaranteed success but that's why 397 00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:54,200 right now I'm trying to learn spirituality so I can so I can teach 398 00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:58,720 and like understand it for myself because I want to I want to learn all 399 00:39:58,720 --> 00:40:03,640 this stuff and then I also want I don't even know if it's all spirituality I 400 00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:07,640 think there's a lot of books on there about like how we're all gonna die soon 401 00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:14,520 there's a like the ultimate reading list is huge genre like though there's so many 402 00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:20,520 different genres and I'm pretty sure unscripted is on there as well so but 403 00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:26,480 it's further down the line like 170 or something like that that's why it would 404 00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:30,840 be a huge waste of time for me to spend a lot of time and energy learning a 405 00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:38,760 language especially if I am doing an inefficient method it's kind of just 406 00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:45,040 like dopamine it's just it's just giving me gratification making me feel like I'm 407 00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:50,320 doing something like it's just making me feel productive I guess is what I'm 408 00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:56,440 trying to say and so that's why my plan is once I'm actually planning on moving 409 00:40:56,440 --> 00:40:59,360 out like once I'm actually planning on going to this country that I'm gonna 410 00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:03,160 learn language which I don't even know if I'll do that right away but once I'm 411 00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:09,120 planning on going to learn language the week prior I will I I actually told my 412 00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:13,400 friend this like this is the method that I would do but I didn't tell my friend 413 00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:21,200 like what my plan is completely so my my plan is to once I'm ready to move out 414 00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:26,560 and one week before I leave I'm literally just gonna every single day 415 00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:33,440 study I'm gonna just study language and I'm literally just gonna compile all of 416 00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:41,520 the common phrases so oh la como estás bueno start this like good morning 417 00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:46,440 hello how are you all of the common phrases and then all the common phrases 418 00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:51,240 for all the common words and phrases and then I'm just gonna wrap them out 419 00:41:51,240 --> 00:41:56,280 literally just get a basic understanding for conversation and I'm gonna 420 00:41:56,280 --> 00:42:02,320 wrap them out through many different means so first I'm gonna first of all 421 00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:07,960 write all of the things down on a single piece of paper and I'm gonna just write 422 00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:12,840 down all the common but I'm not gonna do like all of them I'm just gonna do the 423 00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:21,720 main common conversation sentences like phrases and then I'm gonna what the way 424 00:42:21,720 --> 00:42:27,520 I do it is I would just get all of those papers and then I'd write them all in 425 00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:31,600 Spanish and then write them all in English on another piece in the same 426 00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:35,360 order and then I would look at the English and then rewrite it in Spanish 427 00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:42,200 and then I would after that I would do that a few times like wrap that out get 428 00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:46,360 all those and then get that in memory but then I'm gonna also practice my 429 00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:50,760 pronunciation and actual conversation so I literally just look in the mirror and 430 00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:56,320 or look at the camera like record and literally just have a conversation with 431 00:42:56,320 --> 00:43:04,160 myself be like oh la como estás ah bien y2 and then like oh I am sorry bien like 432 00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:10,640 all like I'd say hello how are you I'm good and you like and then just go just 433 00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:14,320 have a conversation with yourself and then practice those common phrases and 434 00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:20,480 literally just do that for hours like practice but and then I would also learn 435 00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:24,720 how to read it too I'd read it in Spanish so that's why I had two separate 436 00:43:24,720 --> 00:43:29,520 things one in English and one in Spanish so then I would have it in Spanish 437 00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:34,240 another another thing that I would do is look at the Spanish list the list of all 438 00:43:34,240 --> 00:43:39,520 the Spanish ones and then rewrite it in English and then I wouldn't just do those 439 00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:46,800 I would also read it in I would read it in English and then say it in Spanish or 440 00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:52,280 read it in Spanish in the same in English and like all of these many 441 00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:56,880 different forms just for the one week I would just get in a deep dive of learning 442 00:43:56,880 --> 00:44:01,560 all of the basic phrases just so I can have like a baseline even though the 443 00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:05,000 baseline is realistic it's like realistically it's probably not gonna be 444 00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:12,360 that high just a baseline it will allow me to go to the country and by the way 445 00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:18,680 before I move out the country I'm going to be getting a Spanish to English 446 00:44:18,680 --> 00:44:23,120 dictionary or English to whatever language I choose dictionary it's most 447 00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:28,280 likely gonna be Spanish because I already have a baseline of Spanish and so I 448 00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:32,280 want to learn Spanish because I spent 10 years of my life trying to learn Spanish 449 00:44:32,280 --> 00:44:37,760 and I was unsuccessful and I want to talk about how I try to use Duolingo for a 450 00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:42,000 long time to learn Spanish as well but I would get a Spanish to English dictionary 451 00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:49,120 of all of the words or I would get all of the words in a dictionary and then I 452 00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:54,280 would also get a common phrases dictionary of Spanish English and then I 453 00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:59,680 would bring around the common phrases and I would also bring around I'm pretty 454 00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:09,800 sure they sell translator I don't know if that would be a good idea because I 455 00:45:09,800 --> 00:45:14,600 would be cheating but yeah so I would bring around the dictionary and then I 456 00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:21,400 would also bring around a translator just so I can know that I wouldn't I would 457 00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:24,560 only bring around the translator for emergencies just in case I'm in real 458 00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:29,520 trouble or something like that but then I would just walk around once I get there 459 00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:34,160 I just walk around and then practice my common phrases and then just keep on 460 00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:37,960 trying to get into deeper and deeper conversations and that would be my day 461 00:45:37,960 --> 00:45:44,440 but pretty much my routine would look like at let's just say Spain is where I 462 00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:51,080 go my routine at Spain is I wake up spend like an hour to two hours studying new 463 00:45:51,080 --> 00:45:57,200 vocabulary and then I would go around or and then I would practice my physical 464 00:45:57,200 --> 00:46:05,920 skill so whatever physical skill I choose to learn whether it be I don't even 465 00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:14,160 know Tim Ferriss did dancing so it can literally be anything physical so 466 00:46:14,160 --> 00:46:21,320 physical skill that I learn and then I go to and then I go just literally just 467 00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:25,640 walk around town and start conversations with people and I would especially 468 00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:30,240 focus on those new vocab words that I learned so let's say I learned 20 or a 469 00:46:30,240 --> 00:46:35,200 hundred new vocab words and then I make it my go day's goal to get into a 470 00:46:35,200 --> 00:46:39,960 conversation with people and use all of those words that would literally be my 471 00:46:39,960 --> 00:46:44,400 routine now I haven't read ultra learning in a while so I don't know like what the 472 00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:49,240 most optimal I definitely think that my plan will change once I reread it but 473 00:46:49,240 --> 00:46:53,440 that's pretty much what I'm thinking but like I was saying I'm not thinking about 474 00:46:53,440 --> 00:46:56,840 any of this stuff right now I just wanted to tell that just because it's on 475 00:46:56,840 --> 00:47:01,320 the top of my head but I want to discard every single thing that I said 476 00:47:01,320 --> 00:47:05,080 about learning a new language because right now I'm just focusing on my 477 00:47:05,080 --> 00:47:09,400 current task focusing on growing my podcast focusing on building a business 478 00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:14,040 focusing on moving out focusing on building my revenue like just providing 479 00:47:14,040 --> 00:47:18,880 value that is literally all that I'm focused on right now do not worry about 480 00:47:18,880 --> 00:47:27,280 language but as I said I wanted to tell you why Duolingo sucks or Duolingo is fun 481 00:47:27,280 --> 00:47:31,240 but it's not good for learning the actual language if you're serious about 482 00:47:31,240 --> 00:47:35,400 learning language do not use Duolingo if you're serious about it fully immerse 483 00:47:35,400 --> 00:47:43,440 yourself by going into that country or going somewhere like that but pretty much 484 00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:51,320 in like I said I spent 10 years of my life learning taking Spanish classes in 485 00:47:51,320 --> 00:47:59,080 the public education system in America and I in middle school I was learning 486 00:47:59,080 --> 00:48:05,800 all about or no in middle school I spent a long a long time every day on Duolingo 487 00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:10,280 maybe 30 minutes a day maybe an hour a day I was serious about Duolingo I 488 00:48:10,280 --> 00:48:16,280 really wanted to learn Spanish and I'll be honest I learned a lot like I got so 489 00:48:16,280 --> 00:48:21,440 far ahead of everyone else but not in my current classes because what I was 490 00:48:21,440 --> 00:48:28,320 studying was like I was studying on Duolingo different phrases or words that 491 00:48:28,320 --> 00:48:34,200 I was studying in my classes so I wasn't ever really able to use it during class 492 00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:42,000 maybe in like eighth grade or freshman year but I spent a long time on Duolingo 493 00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:49,280 like I had a really long streak and I practiced like every day and I definitely 494 00:48:49,280 --> 00:48:54,600 got better but I was not it was not good enough and if I think that if I 495 00:48:54,600 --> 00:48:58,560 invested that same amount of time doing this method that I just told you guys 496 00:48:58,560 --> 00:49:02,760 about I would have had way more success doing the method that I just told you 497 00:49:02,760 --> 00:49:08,720 guys about but that's pretty much how I use Duolingo and it didn't really help 498 00:49:08,720 --> 00:49:15,560 so let me get some water 499 00:49:15,560 --> 00:49:32,840 all right I want to talk about my face cam so yesterday I got my face cam and I 500 00:49:32,840 --> 00:49:41,320 on my podcastle.ai you there's a video recording like feature like where you 501 00:49:41,320 --> 00:49:45,200 can actually record your video on it and then you can edit like the sound 502 00:49:45,200 --> 00:49:49,040 quality and all that stuff from there because that's what I used to edit my 503 00:49:49,040 --> 00:49:55,680 videos or not my videos my my podcast I used to edit it and I would also before 504 00:49:55,680 --> 00:50:03,080 I had my face cam I would just record straight on that and it was fine I would 505 00:50:03,080 --> 00:50:09,040 be able to record one hour every single day for the entire month but the issue 506 00:50:09,040 --> 00:50:16,680 is they offer they do offer a video recording service but I only have like 507 00:50:16,680 --> 00:50:20,880 eight hours like they only give me eight hours on my current membership plan and 508 00:50:20,880 --> 00:50:26,280 even if I upgraded to like the maximum I'm pretty sure it wouldn't like fit my 509 00:50:26,280 --> 00:50:32,040 needs which I need at least like I think I need like however many days in the 510 00:50:32,040 --> 00:50:39,840 month there are so it's probably like 30 to around 30 to 31 hours every month 511 00:50:39,840 --> 00:50:44,440 that's let's just say 31 hours every month because that's the longest and then 512 00:50:44,440 --> 00:50:53,480 I would probably want just in case like backup 30 33 I want at least just to be 513 00:50:53,480 --> 00:51:01,840 safe I want 35 hours of video recording but on my current subscription plan for 514 00:51:01,840 --> 00:51:07,360 podcast so I only have eight hours so I recorded on I recorded yesterday on 515 00:51:07,360 --> 00:51:12,200 podcast so because I have eight hours free so now I'm at seven hours left for 516 00:51:12,200 --> 00:51:16,600 the month and I realized that this is not gonna work for me so I need to find 517 00:51:16,600 --> 00:51:21,320 like a free software that has infinite recording like unlimited recording and 518 00:51:21,320 --> 00:51:28,840 so I was looking around the web today and I found OBS which I have heard of OBS 519 00:51:28,840 --> 00:51:34,480 before when I used to watch YouTube and streamers they talk about OBS and they 520 00:51:34,480 --> 00:51:40,520 use OBS so I downloaded OBS but I'm not sure if it has like the same editing 521 00:51:40,520 --> 00:51:45,560 features so I don't know what it's gonna look like when I actually go through and 522 00:51:45,560 --> 00:51:52,280 like edit the audio I don't know if because here's where I'm at I have my 523 00:51:52,280 --> 00:51:59,640 video and then I also want I post my video onto YouTube so I schedule my video 524 00:51:59,640 --> 00:52:08,720 the video style of the podcast on YouTube but then I post my the audio on to 525 00:52:08,720 --> 00:52:17,200 my podcast like RSS I post it on to like Apple Spotify Amazon like all these 526 00:52:17,200 --> 00:52:24,160 different podcast directories but I use RSS.com to just spread it all over but 527 00:52:24,160 --> 00:52:31,600 the issue is if I'm unable to edit like the audio of my video like I know I'll 528 00:52:31,600 --> 00:52:36,800 be able to convert my video into audio using podcastle but I'm not sure if I'll 529 00:52:36,800 --> 00:52:42,760 be able to actually edit the audio on this video if that makes sense because 530 00:52:42,760 --> 00:52:47,880 right now my the audio like all the noise that I'm producing right now is 531 00:52:47,880 --> 00:52:55,520 unedited but I've been doing like magic dust background noise remover audio 532 00:52:55,520 --> 00:53:00,360 leveling like all these different edits that I do automatically on podcastle I 533 00:53:00,360 --> 00:53:08,240 do for my show but I won't I'm not sure if I'll be able to do it for the video so 534 00:53:08,240 --> 00:53:12,040 that's kind of where I'm at right now but I would prefer to have an actual 535 00:53:12,040 --> 00:53:18,640 video and not edited audio because plus I'll be able to schedule so I don't know 536 00:53:18,640 --> 00:53:24,520 if any of that made sense but I'm kind of rambling at this point because I'm 537 00:53:24,520 --> 00:53:31,440 just honestly sleep is a hundred percent important so I'm definitely gonna fix my 538 00:53:31,440 --> 00:53:35,120 sleep and it's actually four o'clock usually when I've done recordings like 539 00:53:35,120 --> 00:53:41,800 around 4 30 4 45 and I like when my sleep was good when it was optimal and I was 540 00:53:41,800 --> 00:53:45,640 able to meditate without falling asleep when it was optimal I was getting a bed 541 00:53:45,640 --> 00:53:52,280 at like I was starting my morning routine around like 4 40 to 5 o'clock but 542 00:53:52,280 --> 00:54:00,040 lately I've been starting out like 5 45 so like an hour late but I like kind of 543 00:54:00,040 --> 00:54:05,600 speed through my night did I say morning routine I mean nighttime routine but 544 00:54:05,600 --> 00:54:11,560 that's like important so I'm gonna be able to do that today I'm gonna set a 545 00:54:11,560 --> 00:54:20,480 new rule I have to leave my basement by 4 45 I have to be done by 4 45 and if I'm 546 00:54:20,480 --> 00:54:28,720 unable to edit then I have to edit the next day which could prove fatal but I 547 00:54:28,720 --> 00:54:35,080 don't know it's kind of whatever there's okay I want to talk about one thing 548 00:54:35,080 --> 00:54:41,240 that's been on my mind about I read in the 10x's easier than 2x he gave the 549 00:54:41,240 --> 00:54:49,720 story about Jimmy Donaldson Mr. Beast so Mr. Beast said that he was focusing 550 00:54:49,720 --> 00:54:57,040 extremely heavily on quality over quantity so he would focus all of his 551 00:54:57,040 --> 00:55:01,880 effort on just making the highest quality videos highest quality YouTube videos 552 00:55:01,880 --> 00:55:06,200 and that's how you gain success that's how you get 10x like he didn't go for 553 00:55:06,200 --> 00:55:10,920 quantity but right now I'm going for quantity but I'm also trying to improve 554 00:55:10,920 --> 00:55:19,080 quality by just sheer practice sheer reps because you'll see that like my first 555 00:55:19,080 --> 00:55:24,240 episode was terrible now this episode is way better than my first episode but the 556 00:55:24,240 --> 00:55:32,720 issue is I don't have time to add quality to my podcast because I'm doing one 557 00:55:32,720 --> 00:55:39,800 hour every day and so I'm also a student and I also go to the gym so with all of 558 00:55:39,800 --> 00:55:47,800 that combined I don't have much time and I have a half day at school so I'm a 559 00:55:47,800 --> 00:55:56,440 part-time student so it's like I'm I don't know if I should drop down and I 560 00:55:56,440 --> 00:56:01,640 like post less which is what my friend actually did he's like posting maybe once 561 00:56:01,640 --> 00:56:11,720 or twice a week because his podcast he does ADHD stuff so he is focusing on 562 00:56:11,720 --> 00:56:19,720 quality which I want to see where his ends up because I set myself the target 563 00:56:19,720 --> 00:56:25,280 of having 365 episodes in one year so posting every single day for a year and 564 00:56:25,280 --> 00:56:30,960 that's kind of and that's my goal I still intend on doing that so I still want 565 00:56:30,960 --> 00:56:35,880 to figure out how to improve the quality of my episodes whether it's outsourcing 566 00:56:35,880 --> 00:56:41,200 some things like the editing process outsourcing I don't know what else I would 567 00:56:41,200 --> 00:56:44,120 outsource but the editing process is a big thing 568 00:56:44,120 --> 00:56:49,480 outsource that and I'll be able to just focus on recording because I remember 569 00:56:49,480 --> 00:56:56,560 watching a Hamza video and he was saying figure out what you want to do so let's 570 00:56:56,560 --> 00:57:03,240 say you want to become a youtuber then you figure out the number one thing that 571 00:57:03,240 --> 00:57:09,200 figure out the one thing that will get you there figure out the number one 572 00:57:09,200 --> 00:57:14,360 skill that you need to focus on to become a great youtuber or to achieve that 573 00:57:14,360 --> 00:57:21,040 goal so for a youtuber obviously it's recording so he said focus on like 80% 574 00:57:21,040 --> 00:57:26,800 of your time on that one thing so focus 80% of your time just recording don't 575 00:57:26,800 --> 00:57:32,960 worry about editing don't worry about anything else and then he said focus 20% 576 00:57:32,960 --> 00:57:38,840 of your time learning how to do that one skill better so like reading books about 577 00:57:38,840 --> 00:57:45,480 it so that's that's kind of what I'm thinking right now I'm focusing not 80% 578 00:57:45,480 --> 00:57:50,960 of my time actually I guess it is 80% of my time because I pretty much have 579 00:57:50,960 --> 00:57:55,760 like one hour to work every day or two hours or an hour and a half every single 580 00:57:55,760 --> 00:58:01,520 day to work because once I get home from the gym I go downstairs record edit and 581 00:58:01,520 --> 00:58:06,640 then I get I go to bed like that's pretty much my day I go to school go to 582 00:58:06,640 --> 00:58:15,480 the gym come home record edit go to bed I study in the morning too but I guess I 583 00:58:15,480 --> 00:58:20,080 am we're spending 80% of the time available but definitely not 80% of my 584 00:58:20,080 --> 00:58:24,640 time and that's gonna be tough to spend 80% of my time because I'm in school so 585 00:58:24,640 --> 00:58:31,720 whether I drop out or whether I just wait two months to graduate then once I 586 00:58:31,720 --> 00:58:36,640 like I'm focusing a lot of my the majority of my time surely on recording 587 00:58:36,640 --> 00:58:40,160 videos so I'm getting better so that's kind of what I'm thinking I think that 588 00:58:40,160 --> 00:58:46,280 with practice it's reps but then they also said in 10x is easier than 2x the 589 00:58:46,280 --> 00:58:51,920 10,000 rule like 10,000 hours and you're an expert that's false like that's not 590 00:58:51,920 --> 00:58:58,760 real because you he said that you can spend 10,000 hours in your 80% in your 591 00:58:58,760 --> 00:59:03,240 comfort zone and still not become an expert but if you spend like a thousand 592 00:59:03,240 --> 00:59:10,800 hours in your 20% in like that 10x process zone the 10x zone then you'll 593 00:59:10,800 --> 00:59:15,400 actually become an expert like maybe not a hundred maybe not a thousand maybe 594 00:59:15,400 --> 00:59:19,840 two thousand maybe five hundred I don't know that number but pretty much the 595 00:59:19,840 --> 00:59:24,840 quality okay here's what I'm thinking the quality of time you spend the quality 596 00:59:24,840 --> 00:59:31,000 of time you invest matters because if you if the quality of your time you're 597 00:59:31,000 --> 00:59:36,280 spending on just simple reps but those reps are in your 80% you'd like you're 598 00:59:36,280 --> 00:59:41,400 trying to maintain what you've been doing which I guess I just became 599 00:59:41,400 --> 00:59:46,440 conscious I think that I'm doing that I'm not trying to I'm not focusing on 600 00:59:46,440 --> 00:59:52,200 improving my current show like I'm not trying like when I first started I was 601 00:59:52,200 --> 00:59:56,880 figuring out many different things to get better and better but I kind of like 602 00:59:56,880 --> 01:00:01,200 put a halt to that and now I'm in my 80% so now I got to figure out what I can do 603 01:00:01,200 --> 01:00:06,520 to get to that 20% and get like keep on getting more reps in the 20% because 604 01:00:06,520 --> 01:00:10,680 that's the quality of time that you spend if you're if the quality of if you 605 01:00:10,680 --> 01:00:15,320 spend your time in that 20% that's gonna be way better you improve so much more 606 01:00:15,320 --> 01:00:23,600 than that 80% but that's kind of it that's what I'm thinking and that's the 607 01:00:23,600 --> 01:00:27,680 end of the episode so to wrap things up don't
