I read something about it on a blog some time ago. I think that in order to be more successful you don't need to follow all these daily rules, sometimes what works for somebody doesn't work for you, so you need be aware which of those ideas are applicable for you.
I don't really take this video seriously because of the way the whole idea is presented to the viewer but I guess I should try to follow some of those rules in my life.
2. No, I haven’t. However, I would take advice from people more successful than me and any knowledge in order to create my own daily routine.
3. I’m thinking about following the rule of putting my phone away from my bed. I’m taking a note from some of them. But I’m not going to drastically change my routine especially that I’m not CEO and some things aren’t even applicable to me.
Success is not like a specific formula that anyone pursues and turns into a successful person. The ability of humans and effort and chance play an important role in the success of humans.
I've always tried to improve my living conditions and income.
No, but I always trying to change my daily routines. I just pick up some interesting ideas and facts about how to make the life more productive and try it on my own(not everyone suits me). Some become a habit and some are completely useless for me.
Yes, I would like to try writing down 3 things I am about to do tomorrow. I consider this trick to be extremely amusing and it can boost up productivity significantly.
I think I couldn’t stand this for long time. The worst thing for me it would be waking up at 4 o’clock, I had problem to wake up at 7 every morning. I think the easy part would be with the bath.
Have you ever tried to find out daily routines of successful people in order to make your life more productive?
I try sometimes to start new routines to make my life more productive, some of them were taken from that kind of research.
Would you follow any ideas given in the video (or the one you have found yourself) to improve your life?
Not much, I try to wake up every morning a little bit earlier than before, but thats all.
It would be hard... But possible. Of course not in my current living conditions (because I live with night owl in a flat), but in the nearest future why not?
2. Have you ever tried to find out daily routines of successful people in order to make your life more productive?
In fact no - I've only tried to find out, how did they came to success. But maybe I will try to look for more tips than are in this video alone.
3. Would you follow any ideas given in the video (or the one you have found yourself) to improve your life?
I'd like to try it, because it looks like a good start for being a CEO, not only living like CEO. But if we consider I am wearing t-shirts and shorts/jeans every day, then I just started living like them.
I think that I couldn't live like that. Waking up as early in the morning is not for me. I would also feel pretty exhausted after doing some house chores, not to mention that I would have to start my 8 hours of work after that.
Actually, I haven't ever done a research on day-to-day activities of successful people. It may be interesting, but I don't consider it as a way of becoming one of them. If it would be as simple, every single one of us would be rich and famous. I am trying to find a balance between my studies, work and life, though. It's not that simple, either.
As I've said before, I am trying to make my life better and happier. That's why I think I would consider some of my ideas as well as the ones presented in the video. I would probably go for the more pleasant ones, though.
If I would have a goal and it would help me to reach that in more effective way than for sure.
2. Have you ever tried to find out daily routines of successful people in order to make your life more productive?
I've tried it a few times but never could make in consistent either my goals changed or my will powers fades away.
3. Would you follow any ideas given in the video (or the one you have found yourself) to improve your life?
I would love to take a bath before night if not all the time then at least occasionally after hard days but unfortunately I don't have bath... Other than that reading before night also looks interesting
Tim Ferriss "Tools of Titans" is a book about the habits of successful people. I recommend it to everyone who wants to know anything about these people daily routine. However, I believe each of us has got different habits which makes us unique. We shouldn't go into someone's shoes.
2. I have tried few routines recommended by successful people, e.g.: when I am about to make important decisions in my life I often use decision matrix. It allows you to compare available options and see a big picture of a problem.
3. I definitely would like to change my bedtime routines and sleep longer and more effectively. Currently, I go to bed at midnight and sleep approximately 6 hours which is not enough and causes me to feel tired during the next day.
Of course. I try often. I like watching different films of people who have been successful. And I try to use their advice.
I often use ideas of such people. For example I try to read books in the evenings.
Regarding to the video I found one thing hard to introduce. I hate waking up early. I definitely prefer to work until dawn. But I think it’s also a matter of getting used to.
I never try to copy habits of other people because I think that everyone is different and you have to know yourself to find your own ways that are the most beneficial for you.
The idea of having nice bath everyday seemed really nice ;) wish I had time to implement this "improvement" to my routine.
Sure, at first it is all about creating a habit and then making it your daily routine. In my case it would be hard to e.g. wake up at 4 a.m., but everything can be done with appropriate amount of motivation and ambition.
2. Have you ever tried to find out daily routines of successful people in order to make your life more productive?
No, I have not tried that before, but it might be very interesting and beneficial experiment. I think it is totally worth trying, especially when you see yourself as a successful person in the future.
3. Would you follow any ideas given in the video (or the one you have found yourself) to improve your life?
I think sleeping 7 hours a day would be my lesson from this presentation. It is not about the amount, but the constant and repetitive execution and this is what I do the worst. In addition, an extra hour of sleep per week gives you more chances to get a raise? Say no more.
Would i be capable of changing my lifestyle and upholding it just to imitate a successful persons life? NO But i would take a successful position and get rid of more common problems for a small price of changing my daily routine...
No not really because i have to go shopping, i have to take out trash i have to do a substantial amount of other tasks that they might never do again in their life... I believe it would be counter productive in most cases and in the end lead to depression. If "everybody else" is living like that and i cant keep up am i a worthless person then ?
I did mimic to some extend one trend among successful people: It being i started to buy/wear only plain clothes. T-shirts black/white plain, 10 packs of plain socks, plain hoodies etc. It helps a lot on daily basis u dont have to think "what to wear" instead u can focus on more important things.
I think it`s possible to succeed in our lives, this requires specific goals, motivation, and efforts. It is necessary every day to overcome your habits, laziness, and reluctance.
I have never tried to find out something about successful people routines. I think the only way to being more productive is to be less lazy. So thats what I try to achieve.
Nope. For some reason i feel strong dislike for all kinds of time management advises from other people. Yeah, it works for them, but I have my own system that works for me!
2. No. I am trying to live by myself, and to have my own lifestyle. It's better for me I think.
3. No. It's also about living by myself. I'm trying to live my own life, not like the other people.
That's true, but maybe it's worth to try each of these to see which one works for you?
The path to success is long, and each one is different. Maybe to increase your changes you should start with the basics and these people motivations? :P
