5 Personal Development Techniques You Should NOT Use & WHY!

When it comes to self improvement advice, there are a lot of people who will tell you this that and the other thing (myself included). However, a lot of these personal development techniques don't work in a lot of cases!

There are two main reasons why this happens:

The first reason why personal development fails for many people is because we as humans are incredibly complex. Even though we all share a lot of similarities and defaults, we're all unique which requires flexibility. Meaning what works well for me, might have to be adapted or completely scrapped to work well for you.

The second reason personal development often fails is because people don't dig deep enough

You will often experience this with advice like overcoming procrastination, time management techniques, becoming more productive, being more confident and so on. A lot of the advice is surface level while it doesn't tackle the deeply rooted psychological issue that's to blame for it.

In this video, I'll cover 5 personal development techniques that don't work.

However:

I'm not just going to explain why these tips and tricks don't work for many people, but also cover the cases in which they actually are effective! Knowing that, you can use your own self awareness to figure out if it's something that will likely work for you or is better to be avoided.

Personal development is a unique journey for each of us.

My #1 advice for this is the following:

Don't take any kind of personal development advice (or any advice really) at face value without evaluating it for yourself! Including advice from me. Adapt anything you find in a way that makes sense for you, and discard the things that don't work for you and your personality.
