- Do you have trouble reading or studying?
Do you have trouble getting any of your work done?
Do you feel lethargic and uninspired to exercise?
Then you need The Do Something Principal.
The what principal?
The Do Something Principal.
That's right.
The secret to all of your procrastination problems
and working life woes is as simple as shutting the fuck up
and doing something.
Wow, tell me more.
You people have it all backwards.
You think that you're supposed to get motivated
and then take action.
No, it works the other way around.
Action creates motivation.
Motivation is not an on and off switch.
It's not something that you just wake up with one day.
Motivation is a snowball, it starts teensy tiny,
and then you get it rolling downhill.
Eventually, it takes no effort at all!
You do a little, and that inspires you to do a little more.
And that inspires you to do a little more!
Eventually, you reach the point
where it's more difficult to stop doing your task
than it is to start in the first place.
When you're intimidated by a big task,
break it up into smaller bite-sized tasks.
Don't focus on writing the whole book.
Write the first paragraph.
Don't focus on getting an insane shape.
Uh!
Just focus on having a single good workout.
It's The Do Something Principal.
You do something, anything, and good things happen.
Wow, it's magic!
But don't take my word for it.
Listen to these other guys.
I used to think writing a book was difficult
but with The Do Something Principal,
I wrote an orange book with Fuck on the cover
and I sold 13 million copies, thanks Do Something Principal.
The Do Something Principal saved my marriage!
Now I'm cleaning the toilets all the time.
The Do Something Principal,
now I read good, I talk good, and I fuck (feet pattering).
Fuck, fuck, fuck.
Do, do, do, do, do, do Something Principal (laughs).
People assume there's some big secret to procrastination.
There's not, it's just about momentum.
And if your momentum is constantly being interrupted
by stupid fucking YouTube videos like this one,
then you're not doing something.
So get the fuck off YouTube, and go do something, all right?
Just go!
(laughs)
(upbeat music)
Don't tell anybody, I never fucking clean toilets.
(laughs)
Oh, my God I think I pulled my shoulder.
