ladies and gentlemen I know a lot of you guys that are watching this video right now are feeling incredibly stuck in your lives you have all these big goals and aspirations the only problem is your brain is broken your attention span is literally shorter than a goldfish you're addicted to scrolling and you don't really know how to focus and you know what's crazy you want to get good grades you want to improve yourself to become smart attractive and successful but you're literally making it 10 times harder for yourself if you're new here my name is

Colin and I'm a stud students at Yale University studying computer science in high school I got a 4.0 GPA while studying Max 2 hours a day and now at Yale I've learned how to do well in school but also having lots of cool hobbies and a fun social life and the reason I'm able to do all this is because I fix my brain to become powerful now if you're already scrolling down in the comment section or trying to watch this video at 2x speed you really need this video more than anyone else so I want

you to listen very carefully because in this video I'll be sharing five simple habits you can do to transform your brain and take back control over your life let's get into it so the first habit you want to do is don't bring your phone to the toilet you might not realize it but this one is a silent killer if we're being real you're really not doing anything productive with your phone yeah sure maybe you can respond to some messages or read something but let's be honest you can probably do that before you shower or after

you shower much faster anyways guys showers are actually super underrated especially without your phone it's one of the best times in a day to be mindful and to build that sense of awareness to yourself how are you going to do that if every time you go to shower you try to recite some rap lyrics or something like that now it's not to say that you can't listen to music in the shower I also love listening to some jazz or house music sometimes but I do it in moderation usually at night but the point is try

to go to the toilet without your phone you'll also probably save at least 20 minutes a day in screen time and by doing this you'll become much more present aware and happy now the next thing you want to do is turn on airplane mode when you're working I'm talking about when you're about to do some serious deep work like studying or writing or creating guys this is honestly one of the most powerful habits you can do to work less and earn more to study less and get better grades to focus so you can get more

work done in 2 hours rather than the average person in 8 hours guys when you remove distractions by turning on airplane mode or do not disturb on your phone it's such an easy way to get into the Flow State faster oh Colin but what if there's like an emergency I need to settle listen I've had this same thought and you know what I haven't bought another phone just to solve this problem but honestly 99% of the time you'll be fine don't worry about it so try turning on airplane mode or do not disturb the next

time you're about to do some work you'll feel much more productive and also able to unlock that flow State much faster now the next habit you can do to fix your brain is to walk more I personally love walking and I walk outside for an hour a day it's literally a LIF hack guys studies show that your brain power increases after just 20 minutes of walking and if you you can get some sunlight in the morning it's even better walking is one of the most powerful mood and energy boosters it's also one of my personal

favorite ways to get clear on ideas also if you can get around 8,000 steps a day which is pretty doable and easy you're also going to become much more lean and aesthetic so if you're in high school you can easily do this in between classes or even after school when you're at home at College it's also very easy you can do it in between class after a meal or even go on a walk with a friend so get into the habit of walking more outside you'll super charge your brain power and also feel much more

happy now the next habit you want to start doing is to read more books reading books is the fastest way to fix your brain because you're literally reforming your dopamine systems to get satisfaction from learning personally I love reading books around business power psychology and self-improvement and I usually read around 10 to 15 minutes a day before bed but what I'd recommend is to read what you love until you love to read guys reading is one of the easiest ways to become smart and to gain wisd wiom because you're literally getting years of knowledge in

just a couple of pages I've been reading one book every 2 weeks since I was 15 and I buy books every month at College it's almost like an addiction at this point but if you're just getting started I would highly recommend reading a book a month just 5 to 10 minutes a day before bed and if you want some books to start with I would highly recommend reading iy guy Atomic Habits by James clear and feel-good productivity by Ali abdal of course feel free to read whatever you find fun or interesting now the last habit

that'll fix your brain and improve your life is to have more fun conversations I'm talking about conversations with friends and family we're just present in the moment I'm talking about deep intellectual conversations being able to share cool ideas solve problems and Inspire those around you is such a luxury it's what makes life fun also it's such a great way to recharge your brain but the thing about having these conversations is that you got to be real you got to be authentic with yourself you got to have that light-hearted Soul where you can enjoy life and

don't take things too seriously now another another thing that's part of my routine lately in college is playing basketball or ping pong with friends or simply doing something active it's such a great way to rest socialize and have fun at the same time guys when your brain is able to recharge and be present in the moment you're able to focus better when you get back to work or when you get back to studying and it's such an amazing feeling but that's going to be it for this video I have full confidence that if you guys

follow these habits or even just Implement one of them your life will improve for the better I hope you guys found this video helpful if you did share this video and help a friend out as always God bless Al we're all going to Wi one day and I'll see you in the next one [Music]
