3:10 "If all the little pressing things slide, then so be it. You've been letting your dreams and aspirations slide for years. Now flip it around. Stop letting dreams and aspirations slide." Such an eye opening quote.
If you pay attention to your calm and natural breathing while doing a task you'll find that you can absorb information better rather than just trying to focus your attention on that task, because when a random thought enters your mind your breathing will change, then your attention will start to wander, so as people we always think that we have to focus our attention on the task, but its our breathing that we should focus on first then when its calm and natural we'll be focused and aware, and its our awareness which will enable us to perfom our tasks more intuitively.
Hi Mr Bradley, would you kindly do a video on "Effectively Personal Problem Solving"? A systemtic approach to challenges we will surely face in life regard work, colleagues and even friends. Thank you. From Singapore.
Just the advice and reminder needed as I navigate the start of a new career and getting lost from trying to achieve too many things with the limited time out of work. Thanks August!
Jaw droppingly good. Every word was worth writing down. This is the thing i've struggled with all this year. Everything has been a priority, so therefore nothing gets done. I've been firefighting most of the part, and need to just get the important things done! Bravo @august 👏👏👏
I love it August. I've heard this before, but it never hurts with a powerful repetition. With regards to "decide what matters most", are you considering doing a video about values and value goals?. With regards to priority items, I love the concept of daily highlight, and the way one decides upon ONE thing that is the most important thing to get done, and if done, is considered a success. Also, will you do a video on leverage that relates to the template you gave out in your newsletter?
Thank you so much for this content. Thank you so much for churning out the PPV videos when you did…I was able to follow along and recreate the PPV system and it has changed my life and focus. You have an innate sense of what I need to see and hear at the right time. Forever grateful to you.
Such a simple message, but so powerful. Came also for me at the right time and got me thinking. I would love to have more videos like this. Thanks August!

All right, "Defend The ZONE" is coming up on my wall. Great expression this one as well - "let all little things pressing slide".. I guess I'll be good at that, I play slide.... right? Very inspiring video, thank you!
@@augustbradley I have such respect for your methodic approach to productivity and building the systems that support, and not overwhelm us. I'm so easily distracted and just applying time blocking and good planning (of a well defined most important project) doesn't always mean I'll really _do_ what matters. It's difficult when you work alone and not everyone has the internal accountability partner. My other issue is that I like to postpone the (hopefully) great result in order to enjoy it more when reached. It's like when a musician tinkers with a new song for ages, just to finally release it ... This is both perfectionism but maybe also avoiding the responsibility for the level of the "finished product". As long as I'm working on something, I can always call it "in progress" and avoid the judgement.
I think this video will make your channel explode! Everyone wants to improve their focus and productivity - less niche than a Notion LifeOS one. But it’ll be their gateway to your amazing Notion content!
55 is young! Karen, absolutely design your life and identify your dreams. You have decades to build and shape your life. Begin by identifying what makes you feel most alive and gives life meaning to you, then build habits and start projects around learning and growing in that direction.
Anyone found the Oliver Burkeman article? Would love to give it a read. I also recommend the book Make Time, which explores this exact strategy in depth.
I don't have the name of it, just the notes. Most of Oliver's past articles have been removed since he ended the column. I wish I could find it. But I did capture all of the good parts on my notes, so it lives on this way!
Great video overall but I think the last message is misleading - "Inspiration is for amateurs, the rest of us just show up and get to work.” Some days you just not gonna have the mood to start and that's where this mindset is useful. However, you can't brute force your way through life (also what's the point?). If lack of motivation persists, perhaps you need to make some changes...
Hello, First of all, congratulations for your work. Your video is very close to the recommendations of Gary Keller in his book "The One Thing". If I had the level in English. I would have contacted you a long time ago to exchange with you. You have a beautiful approach to Notion. But far too complex in the business world to be scaled. Nice day from a French entrepreneur. Translated from French to English with DeepL.

Gotta love when the message you need comes up at the right moment. Thanks, August!

Awesome Homesick Mac, great to see you here! I'm still sharing your Notion song with people. It makes me very happy to hear this resonated with you 🙂.

@@HomesickMac so many great thoughts and such strong self awareness in there. Self awareness is the foundation of all growth. Keep up the great work!

Lots more like this coming, mixed with Notion and LifeOS. Thank you so much for your support!
As a mom, I never even considered contemplating my own dreams and aspirations. I am not sure even where to begin or if it's too late at 55 years old
55 is young! Karen, absolutely design your life and identify your dreams. You have decades to build and shape your life. Begin by identifying what makes you feel most alive and gives life meaning to you, then build habits and start projects around learning and growing in that direction.
Thanks August! You're changing everything for me! I'll be able to afford your course soon thanks to all the things I've already learned from you.
Keep up the awesome work, Mike!

I also recommend the book Make Time, which explores this exact strategy in depth.
It's just not online anymore. Will check out the book recommendation, thanks Luke!
What was the name of the article? Would you share the article in your evernote somewhere in your website etc?
I don't have the name of it, just the notes. Most of Oliver's past articles have been removed since he ended the column. I wish I could find it. But I did capture all of the good parts on my notes, so it lives on this way!
Great video, let’s get to work! What calendar app was that at 2:45?
Fantastical, it's my favorite calendar app. Mac ans iOS only.
I think it was todoist
The ONE Thing :)

Hello,
First of all, congratulations for your work.
Your video is very close to the recommendations of Gary Keller in his book "The One Thing".
If I had the level in English. I would have contacted you a long time ago to exchange with you. You have a beautiful approach to Notion. But far too complex in the business world to be scaled.
Nice day from a French entrepreneur.

This is helpful. Thank you.
So glad!
Great Video!
