let me know if this sounds familiar to
you oh i'll start on monday oh i'll
start on the beginning of the month i
want to know truthfully how many mondays
and how many new months have gone by
since you first said that you guys are
stuck thinking short term and i'm here
to put long term in perspective for you
[Music]
welcome back to the channel everybody my
name's artie and this is the moving
average the week has come to an end so
you guys know what time it is let's get
into focus fridays if you guys are
unfamiliar with the show every friday i
like to drop a little bit of motivation
and inspiration for you to help you
progress in life the amount of comments
that i got on the last focus friday
video
blew my mind you guys were so responsive
and so engaged in that and i read every
single comment and i saw an underlying
factor that kept repeating itself and
kept repeating itself and that is the
fact that you guys either don't have
time or have poor time management skills
before we get into the meat of this
video i want to explain one thing to you
i know you keep saying oh i'm gonna
start on monday or oh it's the first of
the month so now i'm gonna start and yet
you keep pushing it back and back and
back because you don't have the time to
do it you're not willing to sacrifice
the time away from friends or drinking
or netflix or whatever and i want you to
understand that eventually the more you
do that the more mondays go by the more
months go by
eventually you'll be so old that you
literally won't have time not just the
imaginative oh i don't have time right
now you're gonna wake up one day when
you're 84 years old and be tired and
broken and not have the motivation to do
anything and at that point
it's too late really really let that set
in if you are a student right now and or
you live at home with your parents and
you don't have the real life
responsibilities of actually having to
pay your bills
you're in a position right now where you
have total and utter freedom you don't
have the overhead that a typical adult
life brings on you if you are in that
category you need to stop playing video
games you need to stop going out with
your friends you need to put in like
time blocking efficiency into your life
and make two to four hours a day
focusing on learning that thing that's
gonna get you to the next level whether
it's trading whether it's photography
whether it's analyzing which is the next
cryptocurrency that's going to moon you
need to dedicate and focus
time blocking absolute concrete hours
per day that you will do this every
single day the only people that i can
imagine that do not have the time
is doctors who do 18-hour shifts king of
four to five hours of sleep while
spending time with their family
or a single parent or multiple parents
with multiple kids having two jobs each
those are the only people that i
actually feel for and are like okay i
know your time is limited but where can
you sacrifice and where can you gain
some extra energy whether it's changing
your diet and having the energy for
after hours extracurricular activities
those are the two polar opposites right
now
students living at home with their
parents or in college dormitories and or
doctors and parents of crazy kids
everybody else that lives in that middle
section where they wake up at eight to
be at their job at nine and then work
till four or five come home have dinner
spend a little bit of time with kids
watch some netflix you guys are the
biggest category and you guys honestly
if you break down every minute of every
day and where you allocate your time
you have the most opportunity to make
improvements you can wake up early like
i do at five o'clock and eventually that
becomes so natural for your body even on
weekends when you don't need to wake up
early your body naturally does or if
you're a night owl instead of spending
that time watching netflix or surfing
through instagram
you can time block that time that
specific time after your kids go to
sleep figure it out and block out that
time to progress if you don't start
today
next monday is going to come and then
the monday after that and then 36 weeks
go by and then 42 months go by and by
the time you realize that you've never
taken any ambition and any drive and any
aspirations towards your goal like
you're not getting there you're just
putting it on the back burner in hopes
that it'll magically happen things don't
magically happen you have to put in the
ridiculous amount of work that it takes
to do something important do something
big and change your situation and keep
this in mind at first it's going to be
really really hard you're going to be
groggy in the morning when you're waking
up early but the more consistency you
have and the more times that you do
something the easier it becomes to the
point where it becomes second nature
just like the first time you start
working out your muscles are sore you're
aching everywhere but the more you work
out you get stronger and faster and
better and accustomed to that pain
while your body is progressing then
eventually you start seeing the change
you start seeing the increase in wealth
you start seeing the increase in
productivity and those things end up
motivating you to do it more and it's
like this perpetual cycle that starts
but you just need to start doing it to
get that motor running now one comment
in particular that i want to address
somebody said that they're making really
good money in their day job but they are
miserable at it and want to do something
else and earn less and i completely get
that a lot of
corporate you know people they make
really good money but it's day in and
day out stress at work and so what i
want you guys to realize is that the
money is not the thing like i mentioned
in my previous video there's a comfort
level of money that allows you to pay
for all your bills comfortably and be
happier the interesting thing is that
it's actually easier for you to make
less money
actually doing the thing that you want
to do it's putting in the time and the
effort into that whether it's starting a
new blog or making handmade leather
keychains and selling them on etsy there
are things that you're passionate about
that you want to do that would give you
the satisfaction in life and get you to
an income level that you're happy with
and at that point you can throw away the
old job but the biggest issue that i've
experienced myself and have had friends
discuss with me
is the fear of what other people are
going to think like you quit your job
you quit your amazing high paying job
what are you thinking like you're making
a mistake or what are my parents going
to think
all of the things that external sources
of judgment is what most people focus on
you're under the impression that it is
way more important than it is
but think about this in 60 years are you
really gonna care what that person
thought about your decision you might
not even know that person in 60 years
from all the people that i went to high
school with i maybe talked to two of
them so yeah
don't be concerned with what your
friends are going to think of you so
before i wrap this video up you guys
know that i found a sponsor for these
focused friday videos so here's artie
with a quick message from our sponsor

learning i've used skillshare in the
past that's how i learned how to edit

today is write down every single thing
that you do in a day this is going to be
you basically tracking your food or
calories i want you to tell me what time
you wake up what time you go to work
write all of these things down and then
look at it on a piece of paper and say
wow i actually do have time if i get rid
of the netflix or if i wake up two hours
earlier or if i go to sleep two hours
later i will still get this much sleep
and be able to function and be able to
make time for all of the things the
learning how to day trade the back
testing your strategy the learning the
new skill
all of the things you need to make time
for you need to time block so i want you
to be strict with it not some days wake
up at nine some days wake up at seven i
want you to be consistent every single
day wake up at the same time every
single day and go to sleep every single
day at the same time i want you to
dedicate one to two hours a day to learn
day trading or back testing or strategy
testing whatever you need to do to get
you to that next level and i promise you
the more you do it the more consistent
you are with it the easier it will
become and the more you will progress
