Thanks for watching everyone! What are some of your themes and goals for 2019?
Find interior designers to sell my artwork to. Also revamp my website and add better products.
Elin Winblad Love it! Great clarity!
1. Being present- not go on social media. Rn I spend up to 10 hours a day on my phone.
2. Waking up early, sleeping early- i need 9 hours of sleep instead of 4.
3. Developing my art skills- I enjoy art, I want to venture out, not be so strict with myself and let loose.
@@pkayokay Love it man :D
Matt, have you seen a Hoshin matrix or X-matrix? As they also go from high level to actions round a square in a visual way (from agile manufacturing and business planning I found this year)
Finally a video that focuses on the actual use of bullet journal rather than decorating it.
He has lots of them, check his channel.
Amen to that!
Hahaha 😁😂 yeah!!
*One day or day one. You decide!*
Planet Progress love it
After I watched this video with the premiere, I went through last year's goals and realized that even though I had achieved about 70% of them, I had basically made very little progress to build my life to what I want it to be. It took me 10 days to clean out my goals list but this 'Themes-Goals-Systems' concept has really revolutionized the way I've set goals this year, compared to the last few years.
I'm so looking forward to working on them this year 😄 Thanks Matt!
I’m so glad to hear that! I think even at 70% you probably did a good amount, maybe just a slight re-frame will continue to help with momentum in 2019!
Super helpful for people with ADHD that have so much trouble with setting and accomplishing goals I think I finally going something that I can use and stick to
Love this. I focus too much on the planning, then lose steam with the action and follow thru. 🌺🌺
Glad you liked it!
Not sure if you've got one already, but I'd love to see a project plan layout and how you are tracking those individual tasks, moving them to your weekly and daily layouts and maintaining the schedule of the project.
Maybe of how you are PMing the course
^this
@@rlee1185 this isn't a full on project plan. I guess I'm looking for the Project Management of a project and maintaining it daily to make sure that it's moving forward
Putting it in the list Jason, good suggestion!
Good idea rezzz
I am watching this again in quarter number two. I am able to focus this time. took more notes. Thank you for showing me how to take action. In the first quarter I worked on a few things, but feel like I am doing better. I am thankful for the refresher in watching to encourage me again. Thank you.
Thank you Matt, I really love your videos, I've being in a journey of self improvement for a while and I learned about Bullet journals thanks to you, and your advice has helped me a lot to be more organized, productive, and all in all, a better person.
Thank you for telling me that 😊
I love what you said about micro habits. Sometimes I dont want to go to the gym so I simply tell myself to get your shoes on, fill your water bottle and call a Lyft. If you still don't want to go the gym then dont. I get to the shopping center and ask myself if I want to still not go and it almost feels silly/ strange not going once I'm already there.
Joan Lopez you’re so right! I call it the “moment of no return”. Just have to get to that moment and should be fine the rest of the way!
I don't think I've ever come across what you described...in lining up goals to themes. That gives me something new to marinate on. Especially as I'm finally making some progress on something this month that I've just been sitting on for too long. So the timing of this video couldn't be better!
I'm thrown off on "We just had our second child," and yet you have energy...I'm not seeing the sleep deprivation... 😂
Happy to hear that Matt! Let me know what you make!
On the 2nd child, just finding short bursts throughout the week. This video took me like 8 hours over a week of fitting in shots and editing haha.
@@MattRagland haha I can imagine squeezing in that work 😂
Love the idea of themes! I definitely need a new way to refocus what I want and set my goals.
Glad you like it!
Thank u 4 ur guidance. I will use these tips to become more productive.
Kiki Anas Ahmad you’re welcome!
I was so pumped for this video! Thanks Matt! Really liked enjoyed it because I am just getting into bullet journaling. Can't wait to start taking action. Thanks again for all your tips.
Jerome Montpetit nice! Keep me updated on how it goes!
Very cool video. Kind of a different way of breaking down David Allen's Horizons of focus where you look at the different levels of your life. Love it! Thanks!
Good comparison!
Thanks for this, Matt! Looking forward to taking this into the new year and starting fresh. Merry Christmas, and happy new year!
Same to you Alex!

Kristen West thanks so much!
Thanks for this super helpful video, Matt!
Julia Kuntz thanks!
Saved this one for the New Year!
Keep Productive thanks Francesco!
Excellent video, thank you.
Andrea von Wurmb thanks!
Thank you very much for your recommendation of Atomic Habits by James Clear. Based on what you gave us in your video, I already started at some small habit changes. Today I finally received my copy of the book and, one chapter in, see that it will be a stable source of support in shifts that I am undertaking to achieve.
"Build the community" meaning that for the business, I'm going to be doing a lot of the non-scaleable. Creating a very personal experience in this automated world.
Jason Resnick love it 😊
One of your best videos!
j h thanks!
Love your mind man!
EXCEED Ingly thanks for watching!
Awesome as always
Ninja Momtastic thank you so much 😄
This is awesome.
Bryanna Monfort thanks so much!
Thanks so much, really beneficial, i have just a remark your themes lack a spiritual one, i think we have to set at least one or two spiritual goals to have a balance in our life and to get an inner peace.
Thank you so much from Costa Rica, i am just starting my own journal, you inspired me to get started in this life style. I just pin the bell of notifications and the subscription... (Daniel from Costa Rica)
Daniel Vargas thanks so much!
Hi Matt, great video thank you. How many themes do you suggest someone should have for the year? I mean, for examples you didn't consider the health, the friendships and other aspects I'm quite sure you think about in your life. Why did you consider that 3 themes and not others? It would be very useful a video that deals with themes and goals! (for example my themes were be: physical and psychological health, economic indipendence from my parents, learning-books, university and courses-, personal and spiritual growth, contribution-turn 0 waste and go vegan-, know new people; aren't they too many? How should I choose?)
Can you keep the pages up longer. They were a bit of a flash in first 5 mins. So keep pausing.
Noted, thanks Tristan :D
Agree. I was pausing the video to catch the still. Thanks, Matt!
Hi! Please do review of your set goal in 2020.
Hi Matt. I’ve been a silent learner of your channel. SQL and Python are huge areas of interests for me. Would you please share the resources you will use to learn the same? You will have a coding buddy in me for sure. 😊
I'm learning on DataCamp! Lots of great resources on W3 Schools too: www.w3schools.com/sql/default.asp
Matt Ragland Yes Matt. I finished sql course on w3 schools. I’m looking for a platform to enable us to do a few simple projects using the skills learnt. Does DataCamp have something for that?
Is that a Zei octahedron? Are you using that in a regular basis?
Love your channel, BTW

Love your stuff. Just watched this one today and I am confused. You say that THEME > WHY...however, your top two themes are SHIP PRODUCTS, COMMIT TO MARRIAGE. These sound more like WHAT to me. Am I missing something?
Great Matt. Appreciate you sharing. The audio could be better, sorry 😐
Dommer thanks for the feedback, working on it
Thanks for the info, Matt. Tried to download your "Bullet Journal Productivity Pack" - nothing happens when I click on the button to download. Maybe I'm missing something?
A great test of a journaling system is, do you abandon it, even temporarily, when life gets complex? If so, it’s a system that doesn’t work for you.
Good point Dave! I find that to be true, and if I stop for a few days or week it's a sign to simplify the process.
Nice
rlee1185 appreciate it!
Does anyone know what size and fine liner he is using??
How are you keeping track of OKRs?

Hi Matt, I was waiting to join your Productivity Mastermind for weeks, because I wanted to give it as a present for my wife, and today when she has "opened" her present and we have jumped in the website to join it.. it says that is the Enrollment is closed!!! ;(
I can't believe it!!!
Could you please help me out?
I was waiting weeks for this moment and looks like now my wife is not going to be able to join your Mastermind
Please Matt, could you help us out?
Thanks in advance, and greetings from Australia 😉
Carlos Vaquero glad we were able to get her in 😄
I suggest Matt slow down his speaking rhythm in future videos. (at least 25% slower). Also, he said this was part one of a two part video. What is the name of part two? Where is it? If it isn't out yet, when will it be? If Matt said, it was not noticed because of his "too fast" delivery in part one.
Minimal?
Dude, I like your channel and your content. But this footage out of focus I can't live with... sorry
Bruno Anjos agree, could have been better. But looked good in the camera screen and after 40 minutes of footage I couldn’t go back. Next time 🤷🏻♂️
Matt Ragland the struggle is real 😆👍
@@MattRagland while you are at it, watch you audio levels. Still completely watchable and informative either way.
He still has stuff to learn. But his content is great and he has really helped me, I don't care for his blurry face, I come here for his advice.
Thanks for this super helpful video, Matt!
Julia Kuntz you’re welcome, thanks for watching!
