0:01Guys , this video is about how to plan
0:03your day , how successful people ,
0:05millionaires , and billionaires plan
0:08theirs , and how they structure their
0:10lives in general so they don't burn out
0:13, get distracted , and always stay
0:15energized . This information comes from
0:18Margulan . He will simply confirm what I
0:22keep telling you , just using slightly
0:24different words . He basically uses the
0:26same model as I do . He has a core
0:28routine he does every day , like mine —
0:31reading , push-ups , and so on . He also
0:34has designated rest days . He also
0:38expands his comfort zone . He doesn't
0:42step out of his comfort zone . He
0:44expands it through simple , small
0:46actions that the brain doesn't reject .
0:50He doesn't do it through struggle or
0:51willpower , because in the long run ,
0:53that never works . In short , this is the
0:57foundation , please watch until the end ,
0:59it will be useful for everyone .
1:01First , you have to divide your life
1:04into modes . I did it like this : home
1:08mode , business trip mode , hunting mode ,
1:11travel , expeditions , and so on , plus a
1:14separate recovery mode for when the
1:17routine breaks . So , these are different
1:21modes . After that , I defined a core for
1:25myself , a minimal core that I perform
1:28regardless of the mode . Meaning , every
1:32single hour , whether I'm hunting , on a
1:34business trip , or at home , it makes no
1:36difference , I do it . Waking up at 6:00
1:39AM is something I do no matter where I
1:41am . So , that is my core . At the same
1:43time , there's no sports , yoga , or
1:45anything like that in it . At one point ,
1:47I introduced the habit of holding a
1:49plank . And when I was on business trips
1:52, I couldn't do it , especially on a
1:53plane . So , what I did was lean against
1:57a wall and hold the plank , just for 5
1:59minutes , then sat down and marked it
2:02off in my habit tracker as completed .
2:06And when I was sick , I would just pull
2:08the blanket aside and , lying on my back
2:10, I would do the plank . Then I held it
2:11for 5 minutes and marked in my calendar
2:13that I had completed it . Why ? Because
2:14our subconscious is dull ; it doesn't
2:16understand the quality of the execution
2:18. It only registers whether you
2:19completed it or not . And dopamine is
2:23released because you're checking off
2:25that you finished it , not because of
2:27the quality or whether you followed
2:29perfect form . It only tracks whether
2:32you did it or not . Therefore , you
2:35define a core and say : " No matter where
2:37I am , don't overload the core . Wherever
2:41I am , in the morning I do 10 squats . "
2:43Well , for example , yes , or maybe 20
2:45push-ups . Any core habit that you are
2:48guaranteed to perform in any routine
2:50without forcing yourself , without
2:52engaging willpower or discipline . This
2:55is very important . Then you will
2:57gradually strengthen the core , but
2:59first , lock in what you will never
3:01break and what requires neither
3:03willpower nor discipline . Locked in .
3:06After that , you define your most ideal
3:08routine . When you are at home , you say :
3:11" When I am home , I exercise three times
3:13a week , no matter what . " You are not
3:16talking about the content of the
3:18workout yet , because this isn't
3:19training the body , it’s training
3:20yourself . Get used to it at home first .
3:24You say , at home I train three times a
3:26week , at home I do yoga , at home I have
3:28a healthy diet . You have written down
3:31the routine that you follow at home .
3:33Why ? Because it is comfortable for you
3:35to do it at home . And you increase the
3:38load there gradually as well . But the
3:41most important rule is : when you are at
3:43home , you follow the routine completely
3:45, without skipping anything . This is
3:47very important . Just don't do it in a
3:49way that requires you to engage your
3:51willpower and discipline again . Do what
3:53is comfortable for you . When people say
3:55, " You need to get out of your comfort
3:56zone , " I always say , " You don't need to
3:58get out of your comfort zone , you need
4:00to expand your comfort zone . " A vivid
4:02example . Swimming in cold water , for
4:04instance ; people perceive it as leaving
4:06the comfort zone , but for me , it has
4:08long been a comfort . I don't consider
4:10swimming in a river as stepping out of
4:11my comfort zone . It is a comfort to me .
4:13You just expand your comfort zone . We
4:15humans are flexible . Next , you write
4:18down a travel routine and say : " During
4:20business trips , no workouts . " So , I
4:22have a travel routine . No diet , but the
4:25core remains : I definitely take fiber ,
4:28I definitely take supplements . That is
4:31the core of my nutrition . But I eat
4:33whatever is served . I ate ice cream and
4:36sweets yesterday . I don't have those
4:38things at home . Therefore , you define
4:40the routines correctly and follow them
4:43strictly . The main thing is to remember
4:45the core and what belongs to each
4:47routine . That's it . Next , you create a
4:50" return to routine " mode for when
4:53you've broken it . For example , 24 hours
4:56after returning from any trip , journey ,
4:58and so on . I do nothing . The mode is
5:01called recovery . I don't do anything if
5:04I don't want to . That's it , 24 hours . I
5:06give myself exactly one day of slack .
5:09After that , psychologically , I already
5:11know that tomorrow my home routine will
5:14begin . You must prepare yourself
5:16psychologically . If you don't prepare ,
5:18you won't follow through . You cannot
5:20force yourself . Thus , once you have
5:23written down all these routines , you
5:25will realize that you are a person of
5:27iron discipline and immense willpower ,
5:29because your statistics will show that
5:31you have never broken your routines .
5:34The fact that the routines are
5:35different doesn't bother anyone ,
5:36especially your subconscious . But you
5:38see the statistics , that you never
5:39break anything . What you define is what
5:43you do . And what will that encourage
5:45you to do ? To solidify the routine , you
5:48start making the training more complex ,
5:51but one step at a time . And then you
5:54won't have procrastination , you won't
5:57have problems with discipline or
5:59willpower . Look , the problem of
6:02willpower and discipline is a problem
6:05of poor planning . Let me put it this
6:08way : what is heroism ? Heroism is
6:12usually the flip side of a general's
6:14incompetence . Because a smart general
6:18doesn't require heroism from their
6:20soldiers . Heroism is required to cover
6:24up holes in the mess . You didn't
6:27account for this , didn't account for
6:29that , and you get by at the expense of
6:30the soldiers ' heroism . If everything
6:33works like a machine , there is no
6:35heroism . It’s very boring . Everything
6:40for you should be very boring , no
6:42heroism whatsoever . You will need more
6:44discipline for those holes in the
6:45business when you're setting things up ;
6:47there will inevitably be holes .
6:48Therefore , one more rule for all
6:51business people : never create
6:54situations that require heroism from
6:57your employees . Then it will be easy to
7:01find employees , because any average
7:03employee in your system will perform at
7:05maximum capacity . If your system is set
7:08up incorrectly , you will rely on
7:10heroism every single time . And to do
7:12that , you'll have to hire many heroes ,
7:15which is very difficult . That is how
7:17the company applies this in management
7:19and in personal life .
