There is definitely something about accountability as I don’t like disappointing other people but seem to be OK with disappointing myself. I definitely think check list helps. I use it for many other things in life like chores etc but I think what might end up happening with this is I would quit the journal altogether if I can’t achieve my goal and don’t want to write the reason why because after all the accountability is still within myself. I will definitely give it a go as I’m deep in procrastination forest at the moment.

for every day life activities i might try this someday but for studying Japanese speficially I don't think i'll do it. and the reason is i tried it before when studying kanji, so i started to use the application called kanji study, and it gives you a reminder every day when you don't study so you don't lose your study streak. but honestly after a while even though i had a 193 days streak, it started to feel like a job more than doing something fun for studying, i would study kanji randomly on the app just so i don't lose the study streak. for me i started studying japanese because i wanted not because i was forced to do it like school . and it was fun, so i don't do these reminders and must study every day routines. of course not that it's bad , it's just FOR ME i found it un effective and not fun so i stopped doing it

I'm going to try this. There are a million things that I want to work on so I am going to start with one and go from there.

Top about playing piano (or more just music in general). Don't use a metronome or ar least have it beat once per bar not once per beat. They're good fir practicing at first but when trsint to play adhering to them too strictly will make your music feel lifeless and monotonous. Put some feeling into it instead

i know that from the word of school in kanji

These journals can very useful but can also be a doubled edged sword. In much the same way that people get trapped in a mode of talking about language learning instead of doing language learning, people can easily become obsessive with their journals and spend excessive amount of time managing them. Just keep it simple.

Physically writing it out also helps because 1) you're creating a physical artefact of your goals/antigoals 2) writing things by hand makes them more real mentally, like how taking physical notes is better for memory than typing notes it's also an excuse to get into fancy and expensive pens and inks and paper

To me it always becomes an internal philosophical thing at some point (enjoying life vs. achieving something), so going 100% productive every day would never be an option. Especially because it's not just Japanese and I also want to maintain e.g. fitness and music and achieve things at work. Every extreme method falls apart sooner or later.

Thought I was being attacked there for a second at the beginning... but we are all good, I don't play League, FFXIV, and don't have Netflix.

This video needs more views

not a joke comment. usually when I reflect on why I failed yet again at doing important things, it's because I am a worthless piece of shit and I hope that the people around me didn't notice yet. been telling myself that for a long time now and when other people tell me otherwise I have to push myself to believe them.

I've been doing this for A couple months and it's pretty great. Not only does it develop a form of self accountability, it helps me see trends.

This is a great idea! I think needed to hear this. Now I just need to find one of my paper journals. I think I still have some somewhere. I just need to make sure that the daily goals are reasonable to achieve everyday

This video is so amazing!!! Totemo subarashii dessu!!! 🤯🤯🤯

I love in your genki lessons when you say コーヒー 👍🏼 it sounds cool

You really hit the nail on the head when you talk about accountability. That "future person reading the notebook" or "Future you having to write down the reason" is so powerful. I finally quit pornography completely when I told myself "Everytime I look at porn, I have to tell my wife about it". I tried for YEARS to drop it and finally just someone keeping me accountable was the answer. This video is awesome, keep it up!

Great hack. Use that same desire for dopamine. I’d argue this isn’t the “other guy” finally winning-I’d argue this is still your Netflix or Final Fantasy guy being happy because you’re still feeding him dopamine from that box check. It just has that added impact of being productive, too! Great tip!

I don't see my adhd ass doing this.

Going to try this one out

Checklists have been a go-to staple for me when I need to get things done. It was the only way I was able to write 12 essays (10+ pages each) within 2 weeks for college. I never thought about adding entries for boundaries as well. Neat!

You may cover this, but how come there is no “ka” particle after “this” on 8:40?

Love this kind of content, well done! I’ll try it!

It always ends in loss of desire. at some point I no longer feel an emotional attachment to diaries and notes, I just sincerely wish to stop learning useful things and start scrolling the Internet. Breakdown is inevitable. Either I quit immediately, or I force myself to continue through and quit with irritation. Going to small intervals doesn't help either. I have to force myself to do even 15-minute intervals of the thing.

Gonna try this digitally purely because my handwriting is slow and terrible lol.

How did this video come out RIGHT when I needed it lol

I'll get right on that journal, right after I study...

good video!!

This was brilliant Andy, thank you so much, I'm definitely going to do this

I like the method and thank you for all of the great content! I usually can get an hour of study in every morning before work, but when I try to study later in the day after work, I don’t feel as if I have the same mental capacity to retain the information. In your opinion, is it even worth doing a second study session if it doesn’t feel productive?

I did this several times throughout my life. It works for a few weeks or months but then life happens and I need to just focus on one thing and leave the rest unattended which adds extra stress when I have to check those boxes, so I stop doing it altogether There are daily habits that are simple enough that you can (and sometimes must) commit to them on a daily basis (like drinking 2l of water or taking a shower). But if something takes more than 30' or an hour, there will be days you just cannot do that thing so the best thing is to just put a weekly goal for those So this works... Sometimes... Under specific circumstances. I wouldn't use it as a long term solution. Though it definitely can help you increase your discipline and leave behind bad habits

Came to learn how to study Japanese. Left with a great life lesson. Much appreciated!

How did you know I was playing FF14 and pretending it was studying Japanese?!?! I feel so called out 😂

As a behavior analyst, this is super on par with other recommended practices. If you had an "accountability partner", to check on your notebook frequently, you could possibly improve this process. Better yet, if your accountability partner benefits in some way (while you lose something, for example, lets say you pay them $1 everyday you miss), it may help them keep you accountable and will make you not want to ever miss a day. Although, this is a bit more of an extreme process. Consistency is really the most important part. Don't skip the progress recording!

Cramming for Japanese final rn Fr lmfao

Way to go on the piano progress! This is on top of the marathon you have been prepping for?!? I’ve been bullet journaling as a to-do list for ages, but never thought to include the tasks I do that aren’t productive. Or the reasons why I didn’t complete my to-do list. I’m not quite sure how I would incorporate that. 🤔 My biggest issue with making the journal any more complex than a simple list is that I get bogged down by the beautiful Pinterest bullet journal trackers to add and then feel so overwhelmed that I never make them and just go back to the list. I’m going to rewatch this and see if I can internalize the tips a bit more and come back with questions.

I already have something like a checklist/routine but still, I sometimes do to much from the one and miss a lot from the other. Like, the last weeks I studied nearly only japanese and let slide english and italian. So this will help me for sure, thank you :D

Fun video to watch on my second monitor during a yokai watch grind in ff14

One method I’ve found effective for myself is “no guilty habit (in my case, osrs) without first doing my Japanese.” This encourages me to not delay my Japanese study, and the study behavior is rewarded by being able to play osrs and creates a positive feedback loop.

i have used bullet journaling for years.. but lately i've gotten a bit lax. This reminded me of why i did it in the first place. i also used to have habit trackers for each month... but i kinda let that go a year or so ago. And i LOVE the idea of saying WHY i didn't do something on my to-do list or WHY i did do something on my don't-do list. okay... time to set it up starting today!

Your piano playing sounds really good! Keep it up!

Very nice system! Coincidentally I started with the piano yesterday but with no structure, would love to know what resources you've used so far

The production quality of these videos are off the chart. Thank you so much for sharing these with us!

I know this sounds bad but ima start this first thing tomorrow, I've been STRUGGLING with focusing on studying Japanese and other things. Thank you so much!

I followed Reysu’s idea since the start of the year. The biggest issue is that I ignore the journal, just as I ignore any other notification. 🤷‍♀️

This was really helpful. Thanks!

I only had my right headphone in and I sat here for like 10 seconds trying to figure out why I couldn't hear the piano. LOL. There is a book called Atomic Hearts that goes over creating good habits to where they almost become second nature. Might be worth a good read. Setting a time via a journal on when you are going to do stuff was one of the key suggestions made when creating habits you want to keep.

I actually just started journaling in a similar way recently. It's been life changing! You have some really good tips in here that I'm going to start implementing immediately. ありがとう ございます!
