Productivity Techniques Suck
You just can’t seem to stay productive. You want to finish a task but your mind drifts off, you feel ashamed of yourself and when you go to bed at night you think about your wasted potential. Just imagine you’re able to go to bed at night feeling proud of what you have accomplished that day. Imagine yourself achieving your goals and everyone else is noticing your positive improvements. That is what’s possible with focus. But what if I told you that you can be productive by just fixing one single thing that I am going to show you in this video/post Many different productivity techniques are floating around on the internet and I bet you have stumbled upon the Pomodoro technique. And I have. I have tried countless techniques trying to become a productivity expert and guess what, most of them didn’t work and held me back Work for 25 minutes, take a 5-minute break and repeat Sounds nice, doesn’t it? Well, there is a huge problem… From an evolutionary standpoint, our minds are not made to only focus for 25 minutes. How do you think we used to hunt? We had to stay focused in a single place for hours until we finally could kill the animal. If we were only hunting for 25 minutes we would have probably starved… Sadly due to modern-day distractions, our attention spans got fried. Our mind is programmed to process a huge amount of different information in a short amount of time which makes us unable to focus on a single task for a long amount of time. So by using the Pomodoro technique, you are just coping because you are unable to sit down for longer than 25 minutes and you tell yourself it’s a good technique and productive to take short breaks. You’re ignoring the main problem: your attention span. You should aim to fix that first before trying to be productive. And I want you to understand the power of focus so I’m going to tell you a story So marlons but how do I improve my attention span? Good news, it’s quite simple. Switch from short-form content to long-form content.

So you wanna build an asteheatic body the right way?
Tbh bro I used to be just like you. 3 years ago when I was overweight and ugly as hell I was always searching for the best workout routines, guides, and motivation at 3 am but guess what, I didn’t take action for a single year. And I know you want to hear the “TOP 7 WAYS TO BILD MUSCLE AND GET GIRLS STUFF” but bro is that going to help you? I used to miss this single piece this single thing that held me back from achieving my dream physique and that was my mindset. So before I show you how to get an aesthetic body we will go over your mindset first. This is the most important thing. This is the first step, trust me. And before you click off and watch another “motivational” video that will never help you (that you’re showing this shows me it didn’t) please do something good for yourself and give me your full attention. Adopt the millionaire’s mindset When I first started working out I wanted to see immediate results. I thought I was going to look like Patrick Bateman by working out for 2 weeks. But that wasn’t the case. It takes about 7 years of hard work, grinding day after day, pain, frustration, and problems learning how to solve those problems for someone to become a millionaire and we can apply that time to building your dream body as well. You are where you deserve to be. That’s a hard truth I had to accept. My body was a direct reflection of my daily actions - playing video games for 8 hours a day and eating junk food. So don’t make the same mistake that I did. Don’t set unrealistic goals or expectations for your body transformation. If you set too high goals that you will never achieve you end up feeling frustrated and then you quit. It’s way better to start small and make a bit of progress than to quit. My success formula Hard work + consistency + patience. Let me break this down for you. I used to go to the gym once a week and I was super proud of myself but didn’t make any gains because I missed the second core component, consistency. I realized that I had to go to the gym a few times a week for a long amount of time to see results, and that’s okay. But after some time I got pissed off for not seeing any results so I once again quit. Don’t be like me. I was reflecting on my thoughts and actions and then I realized that I was missing the third component, patience. You have to be willing to be hard-working and consistent while being okay with not seeing immediate results. it takes time, you have to be patient and remember it takes about 7 years to become a millionaire

You are your biggest enemy
At the start of my self-improvement journey, I felt great. I was finally making progress, I was finally doing something with my life and as I continued to go on my path toward greatness I came to a point where I thought I knew everything. I made so much progress but eventually, I stopped and my ego took over. I saw myself as better than other people my age because I know about nofap and they don't lol. I thought I was superior to my peers and I acted that way towards them which made me seem like an arrogant piece of sh1t. Even worse I stopped progressing, I thought I was already at the end of my destination but soon enough life hit me in the face and I realized that I was holding myself back. My ego was holding my potential back and something had to change. My ego inflated and got bigger and bigger as my achievements became bigger and bigger which is a huge problem. You probably know Connor Mc Gregor a professional MMA fighter who had huge success and became a world champion in his weight class. Once he achieved a huge amount of success he fell off, his ego blinded him and he started to train less, eat worse foods, and take more drugs. Therefore he lost his fight against Khabib Nurmagomedov and he took his throne. While Khabib Nurmagomedov was out there training and grinding to take on Connor Mc Gregor, Connor Mc Gregor was drowning in pleasure and neglecting his growth. This just shows the importance of staying humble, not getting blinded by one’s ego and always staying on track in alignment with one’s goals. And to be honest I still struggle with my ego, a lot. I believe this is a lifelong journey and that we can never fully “kill” our ego as it's deeply rooted within our psyche. A few thousand years ago a big ego was necessary for survival because a strong sense of self made it easier to be more assertive and competitive in securing resources like food, shelter, and mates. On top of that we used to live in tribes where we had a social hierarchy and people with bigger egos were more likely to be in leadership positions as they were again, assertive. And in the sense of reproduction people with big egos came across as more attractive as they usually had bigger status and could provide and protect their tribe better.

Pain Is Your Biggest Motivator - Use it!
Bullying made me the person that I am today and bullying will lead me to greatness. Of course, my life was terrible when I used to get bullied at the ages of 9-12. I still remember the bad gut feeling I had when I went to school. Maybe you can relate to that feeling. I was so scared that the other kids would pick on me again that I stayed home for days without leaving my bedroom, cuddling with my favorite teddy bear and crying, trying to forget my bad reality. The reason I got bullied was because I was such an easy target. I was weak, I acted weak, I looked weak and I was a loner. I didn’t have the strength to defend myself and because no one else was there for me it was a walk in the park for my bullies. I remember that they used to push me around, one guy even spat in my face and once I got pushed in front of a bus, luckily the bus driver stopped driving otherwise I maybe wouldn’t even be here anymore. Back then I was hoping that the bus would hit me and then I die. They stole my lunch box and my lunch money because they said I ate enough food for the rest of my life because you know, I was so obese. Those were the hardest and darkest days of my life and I thought ill never make it out of this hell so instead I escaped into porn, video games, and junk food which made my situation even worse. One day I finally had enough. Years of pain had built up inside of me and now I had to make a decision. 1. continue to drown in pleasure and try to escape my problems 2. improve myself and destroy my bad addictions Something flipped the switch in me. You’re going to waste your whole life. You’re going to waste so much potential, what about the goals you wanted to achieve? What about your dream body, what about your dream house? What about retiring your mum? Wake up. Marlon, you have to change. And that’s exactly what I did. My primary motivator is pain. Pain is the only reason why I am where I am today. The pain moved me forward and pain improved my life. You might have heard of the saying the adult protects the child and that’s exactly what happened in my case. My inner child got bullied, abused, and traumatized which got buried deep inside of me and so did my inner child. My body and mind still act and think like I’m getting bullied like I’m in danger. But you know I’m not, everything is amazing. The problem is that my trauma is in my unconsciousness, which now drives me to improve myself.
