Friend, understand this one thing. You work hard all day. Despite that, your life is not progressing. You are skipping the gym. You are chasing motivation. Despite all this, you are not able to get anything done. And then you know what you say? Friend, I want to do a lot in my life. But despite that, I am unable to do anything. I don't understand what to do? I start something. It gets quit. Do you know what the problem is? You haven't built systems in your life. Now if I talk about myself, I am a teacher in the morning. In the evening, I manage YouTube. I also go to the gym four to five days a week. When I get free time, I also travel a lot. Despite all this, I have time in my life. How? Because I have built systems in my life. And these systems, they weren't built overnight. It took me a full 2 years to build them. In today's video, I am going to tell you exactly this: why you need systems in life. What do systems do? And if there are no systems, what problems will arise? I will also tell you that. And my five systems, which I have been able to form in my life over 2 years, I am going to share them with you in this video. Look, first of all, let's understand why systems are important. What does a system do? A system says only one thing: I don't need motivation, I don't need mood, I don't need any force. Just give me a process. If you start following that process, the results will come automatically. Look, a system simply states that if any work is happening automatically, where there is no play of your motivation, no play of discipline, all those things are systems, and forming systems is not that easy.
Look, the first system that I follow in my life is the Trigger System. If you want to do something big in your life, want to start something new, then do not form any new habit. Forming a new habit is not that easy. What do you need to do? You need a trigger. Trigger means a spark or something you are already doing. You pick up any existing habit and attach that new habit to it, and you say, as soon as I perform this habit, I will sit down to do this work, which will save you from needing to remember it again and again. For example, I'll tell you some small things in my life. After taking a bath daily, I do 20 push-ups, and now I have also started doing 20 squats. My brain knows these are small things. It always skips them. Because what does the brain say? The brain will neglect any task that can be done in a very short time. It will say, this can be done later too. And for a task that takes time or is important, the brain will say, let's do this. It's important. The brain never considers squats and push-ups important. And I understand this because sometimes I skip the gym, or a lot happens, but I do 20 push-ups and 20 squats daily, and I have stuck this with a habit. Or what else do I do? To grow Instagram recently, I told myself that as soon as I return from the gym at night, I will record one reel every alternate day, and I am doing it, and now my reels are coming back to back. I used to make reels every time. I would skip them because I have to focus on YouTube, I have to focus on school, I have to focus on my life. There is family, there is travel, and I wasn't able to do it. But I didn't create a new habit. I just attached it to an existing habit: returning from the gym and then making a reel, and things are working. So you have to use an existing habit as a trigger. Use any new thing as an action, and just repeat it again and again.
The second habit that comes is the Time Block System. You have to do some important work in your life at a fixed time daily and repeat it again and again. As I mentioned, whenever I go to the gym, I go from 8:00 to 8:30 PM, and I have repeated it so many times that a pattern has formed in my subconscious brain. There are two types of brains, as you all know. One is the conscious brain, and the other is the subconscious brain. All the things we repeat again and again create a pattern, form a habit that gets saved in the subconscious brain, due to which we start acting in the same way. So, as soon as it is 7:30, my brain starts thinking. It's gym time. Let's eat something, have a snack, eat a banana, or drink coffee because I have to go to the gym at 8:00. Even on days I don't have to go, an intuition starts coming from within. Because I have repeated that activity so many times that the subconscious brain reminds me of that thing. So, if there is any important work for you that you skip or cannot do due to laziness, you have to do it at a fixed time and repeat it. And if it is important for you, and you are not doing it at a fixed time, and you tell yourself, I will do it whenever I get free time, then first, you are not serious about that work. Second, that work is not important to you. And third, it will definitely be skipped. So start following this system.
The third system that comes is the Deep Work System. I have spoken in many of my past videos that I activate the Deep Work System in my life. What does Deep Work mean? Sitting with one task for 1 to 2 hours. One work, it should be only one task. No multitasking. You should not have your phone, and there should be no distractions around. And you just sit down to do one task with focus, and that is called Deep Work. I work on YouTube every day from 5 PM to 7 PM. I am telling you the truth, I work for only 2 hours. After 2 hours, I have to go to the gym, and before that, I am busy with school. I come home tired, exhausted. At night, I have to have dinner, and also give some family time. But in 2 hours, I manage the entire day's projection, scripting, searching for new ideas, assigning work to my editor, I manage everything. Because I am focused. I don't have my phone, I don't multitask. I don't have distractions, and momentum is created. So if you want to achieve something in your life, whether you want to learn editing, whether you are a student, you want to complete your chapters, whether you are in college, learning a skill, doing anything. And if you don't have Deep Work, and if you depend on your mood, thinking you'll do it when you have free time, then your life will also run like this. When you are not serious about work yourself, how will life be serious about you?
The fourth system that comes is Momentum. This habit was taught to me by my father, and I still follow it today. What was my father's habit? Whenever he had his weekday off, which is generally Thursday in my city, he would make a list on paper and finish all the household chores at once. He used to tell me that if I don't finish them all at once, something or the other will be skipped. Then I will have to go again and again. It will take separate time, petrol will be used, many things will happen. Meaning, his simple point was this: when, son, your momentum is created, and if you don't take a break in between and do some small tasks together, you can do that work in a focused manner in very little time, and this is called momentum. So, whenever I am very focused on any work, and as soon as I finish that work, and I feel that I don't need a break that much right now, I finish some small tasks together. Replying to company emails, or doing some research work, or starting to look at some thumbnail designs, or starting to watch some other YouTube videos. Meaning, I finish some small 15-20 minute tasks related to my work. Because I know momentum is created. I am completely focused, and if I take action now, that work will be done very well. My time will be saved, and later I can relax comfortably. So, whenever you feel that your momentum is created, and you can club some small tasks with it, please attach them. You will see how easy things become in your life. Because then you won't have to find time for small tasks. And I told you, the brain tries to avoid small tasks. So today, see if any small tasks can be done along with the big tasks you do. Can momentum be formed? If it can, start doing it from today itself.
The fifth system that comes is the No Zero System. This is the most important system of my life. What does it mean? I cannot see a single day in my life where I realize or feel that today I did nothing. I am telling you the truth, I cannot see this. If I don't go to the gym on some day, first of all, I do push-ups in the morning. Because if I take a bath, I will do push-ups. If I don't take a bath, it's not like I take a bath daily. So, you understand, right? So first, I do push-ups in the morning. Or even after that, I have kept dumbbells in this room, in my studio. I pick up dumbbells at home. But I act. It's not about the gym. If I am not doing some YouTube work, I will start researching while sitting in school, or wherever I am sitting, I will take out my phone, watch other people's videos, get ideas. Meaning, I will do something or start replying to comments on YouTube Studio. Meaning, on YouTube. You people have seen, I reply to comments a lot. Why? Because wherever I get time, I start taking action. I know if I do something else at that time, it will be useless for me, like scrolling. It's better to reply to people's comments. Because people are asking things with so much sincerity, showing trust in me. So it is my right to reply to them. So, do you understand my point? You should not let yourself realize that today I did nothing. You have to do something. If the gym is not happening, do 20 squats, do push-ups, do anything. If you are learning a skill, you are not getting time, no problem. Whenever you get time, if you get 5 minutes at night, 10 minutes, do it. You have to tell your brain that even if things are not in my favor, I will still act. If the brain understands that things are not in your favor, and you are also not in their favor, both will match, and this is what happens with 99% of the world. As soon as their mood, because their world depends on mood, and as soon as they see that this situation is not in my favor, then today I don't feel like it, let's not go to the gym. Today I don't feel like it, let's not do this. Today I don't feel like it, let's not do this. So, do you think you will get ahead of people who are already ahead so quickly? No way you will get ahead. Because those who are ahead, or those who are entrepreneurs, those who are big athletes, they never depend on mood. They depend on systems. And a system says, I have to take action. I know how many times there will be cases when my mood will not be in favor. When the situation will not be in my favor. But if I take even a little action, then I am showing the brain a challenge that, look, even though things are not in my favor, I am still taking action. You have to make your brain realize this. And if you don't make it realize, the brain will understand, and the brain will make you do what it wants to do. Because the subconscious brain is very powerful. Whatever habit you instill in it, whatever you repeat, it will follow that. Your mood is not in favor. You followed that thing. You will see that you will skip things in your life. So these are the systems that, honestly, took me 2 years to build. And if you want to follow these systems seriously in your life, and if you start following them, I am telling you the truth, within three to four months, you will see a transformation. Changes will start happening in your life. You will feel that things are becoming so balanced. I am also saving time. Despite that, I am also doing all the important work. Because you are not dependent on mood. You are dependent on a system. So quickly write "System" in the comments or "I Will Follow System". I will see how many people are genuinely serious about these systems. And after this video, you have to form one of your systems. What did I tell you? Find a trigger thing that you are doing. Attach an action to it, and just start repeating. This will form your system. Forming a system is very easy. But maintaining a system is tough. Because a system demands repetition, and you will have to do this again and again. Because as you do it again and again, you know, the subconscious brain will understand. So that's it for this video. My name is Sarthak Virmani, and this channel is all about getting things better. And don't forget to write "System". See you very soon in the next video. Till then, take care. Bye-bye.
