How to Unlock Your Inner Creative Genius (And Change Your Life)
look everybody wants to change in their
life you know maybe you want to be a
writer or you want to be a youtuber or
maybe you just want to stop being so
single well there was a book that I read
about six years ago and in this book the
person recommended one daily practice
that I have since done almost without
fail that has led to the biggest changes
in my life now in this video I want to
share exactly what that one philosophy
was that takes one hour per day
[Music]
hey guys I'm Alex hi and author of the
book master the day now the story is
told by Earl Nightingale an old personal
development speaker and I think this is
from the 1950s where he relates a story
that was told during the Great
Depression and he said that a person was
passing a group of steel workers and the
steel workers were on their lunch break
and this was during the Great Depression
where a lot of people were unemployed
and they were all complaining about life
is so hard I may lose my job and if so I
don't know how to find a job what's
gonna happen if I lose it when I go home
to my wife I mean to my kids and I can't
provide anymore and Earl commented that
these steel workers were only working
really like a nine-to-five essentially
they still had that 5:00 until 9:00 or
till 10:00 or until 11:00 and he was
saying how these people what were they
doing over the last 20 years of their
life in their free time they still had
eight extra hours per day and even if
you dedicate half of that four hours to
your family that still leaves several
hours to improve yourself and in Earl's
words these people could have become
open heart surgeons in the amount of
free time they had over the last decades
and for me the thing he recommended that
the clicked the most was this idea of
dedicating one hour per day to improving
your life or one hour per day to
acquiring a concrete skill that can lead
to a better life for you now in this
video let's talk about specifically what
that can mean and how you can do that
alright so what is one hour a day really
look like when we're not giving a
fitness example so let's say right now
you have a job and it's something you
hate and you want to go into an entirely
different field altogether but since you
didn't go to school for it and since you
don't have experience in that field and
you don't have any skills in that field
how are you supposed to do that well if
you started dedicating one hour per
night after your job you could still
watch Netflix you could still hang out
with whoever you want just dedicate one
hour per day to doing the following over
six months you could end up in a totally
different career in a higher paying job
so let's say right now
maybe you're an accountant and you
realize you want to be a programmer well
the first thing is you have to research
what do programming jobs look like what
require and what are the skills that I
have to have in order to make this a
reality
so the first hour of your day when you
come home either it's the first or
dedicated hour per day you figure out
one hour in your schedule I am going to
research what it takes to get into the
programming industry the second hour per
day after let's say 30 days could be
dedicated to actually talking to people
in that field to see what programming is
like now the biggest approach that I am
a fan of is actually emailing or cold
calling people and saying hey you know
what I'm really passionate about this
I'm interested in this field
do you have five minutes where I could
buy you coffee five minutes for a phone
call and to learn or share with me what
the industry is really like I did this
before coming to Chinese medicine school
I called the 15 acupuncturist and they
gave me advice that was pure gold and
then your one hour per day from then on
could be literally practicing the skill
of coding actually coming home learning
how to code code a website code an app
learn how to change button colors and
buttons and how to click things
basically you're dedicating one hour
ideally to a concrete skill that's gonna
help you live a better life
that skill could just as easily be the
skill of listening to people or going
out and talking to people or working on
personal flaws in your character that
you think are holding you back from
accessing that next level or the one
hour could be the gym or cooking it only
takes an hour a day to actually change
your life now I've personally used this
for all of the above here I've used it
for writing every one of my books there
are now five on Amazon that's like seven
hundred pages written including all the
editing and the revising hiring people
to do all that all of that was in one
hour per day then I dedicated to writing
when I was done hiring an editor and
working with her through all of the
books doing the audio book doing the
Kindle book going into the studios to
record those all in an hour a day it
took an hour a day to also get fit
because if you average out the time that
I spend in the gym and cooking it works
out to about one hour per day seven days
a week and I've also dedicated an hour a
day in my earlier 20s to getting second
jobs so that I could afford to still
travel even if I wasn't making a lot at
my
so if you think it takes a lot to change
you might be wrong what would happen if
you just dedicated one hour per day as
your daily habit to whatever it is
whatever part of your life is not
working for you is not happening
if you dedicated one hour to improving
that your life could be dramatically
different in as short as 100 days what's
up guys I hope that helps the one hour
day philosophy has made a really big
difference in my life now the best way
