This video is sponsored by Skillshare. The first 500 people to use my link skl.sh/kevz11241 will get a 1 month free trial of Skillshare!
In this video I share how I organize my life using some of my mentors' advises and learning from my past mistakes. I was almost let go from my first consulting job 5 years ago during probation period. Fortunately, I organized my life just in time to improved my performance. It was a bumpy start but thanks to these productivity tricks I mentioned in this video, I was able to to kick off my career.
*PROMPT MENTIONED IN VIDEO*
I’ve completed a thorough brain dump, listing everything on my mind-work tasks, personal goals, worries, ideas, and more. I want to transform this chaotic stream of thoughts into a comprehensive, structured framework that provides clarity and actionable steps. Please help me by:
1. Organizing: Group my thoughts into clear, MECE categories (e.g., Work, Family, Health, etc.) to avoid overlap and ensure all areas of my life are covered.
2. Clarifying: Reframe vague or negative statements into concise, positively-worded action items.
3. Prioritizing: Rank all action items within each category based on their importance and urgency, with the most critical ones at the top.
4. Synthesizing: Identify the core themes or recurring patterns that emerge from my brain dump and provide a summary of what these say about my current priorities and challenges.
Please keep the response focused and actionable, avoiding unnecessary structure or repetition. Below is my brain dump text. Analyze it and provide a clear, prioritized response:

      Haha thanks, and this is true story - Learnt it by playing world of warcraft, I was 17 and couldn't finish a proper sentence...and there it is a game I really wanted to play but not available in my mother tongue. So I started to hang out with this online english speaking community and learnt it faster than ever :D

      I've heard many stories of people learning English from games and comic books because they didn't have access to translations in their native language. However, limitations on resources are not always a bad thing, sometimes it helps to focus on what is available)

    This edutainment is awesome! As a person who is looking for ways to increase my productivity (and not just watch productivity videos) this is a game changer. Thanks for sharing your process. I am sure that it will help me to lock in and become more focused over the next two weeks before we cross over into 2025. Additionally I am going to read Atomic Habits. It has been in my digital library for about two year. Finally I am going to share the concepts of the video with my secondary students. I think between Atomic Habits and these concepts I can help a few become more focused and move forward with productive digital lives. Thanks for sharing.

    Wait how do you make phone calls with your Apple Watch with 3rd party apps like WeChat or WhatsApp or Line chat?

    • @kevzwang
      @kevzwang 5 днів тому

      For phone calls there's no first or third party support, you can pretty much only do text, voice and pictures... However if people really need to speak to me on the phone they have my number. I suppose the only corner case is someone calling me from other countries, which doesn't really happen all that much. But agree, it's a valid point all those message apps are not well supported on the watch. Cheers :)

    Hi KevZ! This is my first KevZ video. Thank you! I was an early adopter of the Apple Watch, buying the first one. The Ultra 1 is my fourth Apple Watch. When I bought my first Apple Watch, I didn't wear glasses, and the size of the native Apple Watch workout numbers was fine. But now I wear glasses and those numbers are too small if I'm working out without wearing my glasses. I switched to the WorkOutdoors app. Besides the larger numbers, the app is phenomenal! I use four watch faces every day: one for sleeping, one for work, one for after work, and one for the evenings before bed. The Snoopy watch face is my evening before-bed watch face! Anyway, thanks for your ideas and comments on creative ways to use my Apple Watch!

    • @kevzwang
      @kevzwang 9 днів тому

  • @srdesigns7258
    @srdesigns7258 10 днів тому

    the question here is: Why should I use a 3rd app when there is actually the apple default one that does the same things? where is the advantages?

    • @kevzwang
      @kevzwang 5 днів тому

      If it really does the exact same thing, sure go with the 1st party app, and the 3rd party one will surely die due to lower usage from people. But you will be surprised to see how many first party apps / functions haven't had proper developer support, based on my research the it's about 5% penetration rate. So... it depends, if first party app catches up, you are absolutely right go with the official version! Cheers :D

You may feel a work stream is low priority, someone else may feel differently, and to safely limit blowback you need to manage their expectations

    @gustavoslzar 12 днів тому

    One of the things NOBODY is talking about when using an Apple Watch as a minimalist/dumb phone is that it REQUIRES an iPhone for the initial setup and for some crucial apps like Shortcuts (which is used for automation). It looses a lot of value because it cannot be an independent Device but a complement (just like the rest of the Apple Devices) to other Apple devices and then you are trapped in their ecosystem
