Hi Bradley, Just wanted to say I just joined RIO a couple weeks ago and I started with a couple recommended pros, but something told me that this series was just what I needed and I started with the Process video. And this was exactly what I and I can tell a lot of players needed. This was incredible! So a couple questions for you:

1.) Do you or any players you've talked to before have a daily tracking/grading system of any kind for your gradated productivity and ensuring you stay on track and be productive? Or more-so as a guide just so that you go on to something productive and not to Youtube cat videos especially when your energy levels aren't too high?

2.) I think i gravitate to a schedule like yours, where my mind clearly works the best when I wake up like 5am until around 1pm. Then I have a lag too until around 6-7pm. Were you primarily a cash player and what types of games did you play or recommend players play at 5am if you are a US player not in one of the major sites? I'm in PA so hopefully soon here, but in the meantime I typically play ignition and some ACR.

Thanks again! Love the videos

Great content as usual. I think everyone at some point will be able to relate to this and will find it really helpful just Iike I did now.

I've been watching the whole series. In my personal opinion this has been the best one, since the presented strategy had a lot of useful examples and also can be implemented for pretty much everyone. Loved the behavior paths tips.

I've veen trying to stabilish a week schedule and to create a routine and as mentioned in the video, sometimes you have a lower level of energy and fail in accomplish all tasks. This graded productivity list will be really benefitial.

Just one question about this method Bradley: do you have an weekly or daily standard routine to organize your tasks? I mean, do you have specific time windows (for example, HH review every tuesday and thursday morning) and then change to plan B or C only if you don't have the recquired level of energy? Or do you use only have the graded productivy list, doing the hardest tasks when you feel more energized, no matter when in the week or the time of the day.

Hey Solarius,

Sorry to take a bit to get back to you.

That's a great question. Honestly, I think that both can work and it really matters what comes most naturally to you. For me, I will generally go after every slot in my day with a plan, and then change only if I don't have the required level of energy. I feel that having a plan for the day will help me to focus and keep myself constantly productive.

That being said, there is definitely something to be said for attacking the most arduous task when you have the most energy. It's a great point and one I think you will just have to play with on your own.

Hi Bradley,
Really cool content you posted here. . I like the way you help us to detect the triggers that would allow us follow the right paths in order to progress on our game. Gradated Productivity is also a great concept .
Thank You.

Hi Bradley, I 'm new to the site and after watching your series i 'm really happy that i 've joined RIO. I have two comments to make. Firstly that in my native language (Greek) the word discipline is πειθαρχια which means to follow the principles and literally means to be persuaded by the starting point!
Secondly is that it was to my surprise that that you didn't said anything in the video about the love for the game . Is it because it is inevitable for it to be reduced, because it's role in relation to the greater goal is overrated, or because it is thought as prerequisite ?

Hey Zdol,

Thank you for the compliment, and the Greek lesson!

Definitely a prerequisite! There are obviously some things in life you need to do whether you like it or not, but poker is definitely not one of them! If you aren't enjoying playing the game, there is no reason to continue. You can't hope to be successful long-term if you aren't happy; you will burn out and end up quitting or losing (most likely both).

Enjoying things allows you to relax and execute as effectively as possible.

hahaha. saufen dann wird es schon besser .... i hate my coach he said i cant drink beer again :) haha <3 Bradley every Video is just perfect
