FIRST: NEVER EVER say the excuse “I don’t have the time.”
This really boils down to Parkinson’s Law, which suggests that your work will expand to fill the allotted time for a task. So don’t tell yourself “you don’t have the time” - you do, if you really want to. And that will allow you get a LOT more done than you thought was possible.
SECOND: I re-adjusted my schedule to optimize my prime working hours
There are certain times in the day where I’m in the zone, I’m creative, and I can get a LOT done - and other times of the day that I’m completely unmotivated, I slack off, and I’m easily distracted… so I began to re-work my day around my internal schedule, and not try to fit my internal schedule around the day.
If you’re looking to do something similar, really pay attention to your schedule and when you find yourself the most motivated - each of us has our own schedule as to when we hit our “stride,” and when we begin to “burn out.” By figuring this out for myself, I’ve been able to get so much more done by optimizing when my time is best used and doing the most important tasks right then.
THIRD: Prioritize your ENTIRE DAY.
The night before, I’ll open up a notepad on my phone and write out everything that needs to get done, and in what order - starting with the most important task first. Then, that next day, I begin to complete those tasks based on their urgency, and which is the most pressing to get done given my internal schedule. This list keeps you on track at all times, you know EXACTLY what you need to get done, and my day doesn’t end until EVERYTHING on that list is checked off by a certain time.
FOURTH: GET RID OF ALL DISTRACTIONS.
I’ve started implementing “work time” - I turn everything on “Do not disturb” for 60 minutes. I purposely close out of all tabs except for what I’m working on, I purposely leave my phone away from me so I’m not tempted to check it, and if anything IS urgent - those people know how to reach me.
I’ve found that since I’ve started doing this, I’ve become a LOT more productive…I’m able to get 3 hours of distracted work done in the time of 1 hour of focus, I have MORE time left over for myself, and can make much better use of the day.
FIFTH: The 2 Minute Rule
This is a concept by David Allen, who explains that MOST things we procrastinate on don’t really take much time to do - but for whatever reason, we just tend to procrastinate, thinking we’ll get them done later. But this rule suggests that whatever you can do in 2 minutes or less, just get it done IMMEDIATELY. Whether it’s making your bed in the morning, putting away your laundry, cleaning the dishes, or anything like that…Don’t THINK about doing it, don’t postpone it later…2 minutes, just go and do it right now.
SIXTTH: Work on a scalable business
This is something I didn’t completely understand or appreciate until I began seeing the potential about 2 years ago…even with this video, the work it takes to reach 1 person is the EXACT same as it takes to reach 1 MILLION people…so my income is no longer dependent on how many hours I work, but on how many people my content can reach. That means my income is able to scale parabolically, without me doing ANYTHING differently, or working even more hours…
That SINGLE differentiation is what led me to now making well over $1 million per year…Now I’m not going and recommending everyone just go and start YouTube channels…but for anyone who wants to not only be MORE productive, but also scale your income exponentially…you need to get into a business that is NOT dependent on your time, but dependent on the amount of value you provide to an audience.

I just realized I spend $2,000 per year eating out. Eating my money sucks. It feels inexpensive at the time and you need food and entertainment is good, but I could do something way more exciting with that money…instead of feeling like I’m too broke to do anything.
hey graham, do you still meditate in the mornings? or how did that work out for you?
Thank You!
Now a year later at 2.96 million subscribers and if that rate keeps growing you make more subscribers a year then actual money.
Imagine you would get 1$ a month for every subscriber.
I saw all your videos, but I love this one, love the internal clock and the 2 min rule. I read a book called "atomic habits", at first glance everything looks obvious but the combination of all Technics in the book have and stunning effect in life. Love from Argentina!
Here I thought the 2-minute rule was how long it’s okay to have food touch the ground and still eat it.
interesting. Thanks for Sharing. Jesus bless
To do list: Smash the like button 2 sec 🙂
I really want to work on my YouTube channel but idk if it is worth it cause idk if anyone will even want to watch my stuff 😂 like they arnt rlly gaining anything by doing so
THANK YOU! for not calling them 'hacks'.
Who else here is supposed to be working right now? 😂
Smashing the like button takes less than 2 minutes!
omg it's crazy I saw you on selling sunset how do u manage all of that its inhuman, you don't have a team that edits and uploads your videos everyday ?? and you post everyday…somebody tell me whats going on
boostin the algorythm
Smashed like, smashed screen :<
Hey Graham. I tried the Two minute rule as you suggested and I got good results for a day, but I found I need to build up to it to make the change into a habit. So, I’m starting with the half-a minute rule.
cool!
Where is your other channel?
Great video! Thanks 👍
I now refer to myself as a SMASHER, because I always smash the like button, I smash my expenses, and I am smashing the world, giving my life everything I have got!
Meditation is a type delayed gratification to be done always
He’s chillin’ with Ramsey during his me time.❤️

Graham, you are amazing! You even know how to monetize your downtime.
good job
Love the advice thank you so much
Great tips!
I looked away and you said Jack. Damn that grab my attention! Felt like you were talking to me personally
This prolly my favorite video👌
I'm new to the channel, but i've learned A LOT in the past few months. My credit score went from 640 to 710, learned about basic investing, how credit scoring algorithms typically work, and got motivated to work out some other misc financial items I'd been struggling with. Thanks for the content!
