hahah admitting you have a problem is the first step LOLOL. Well at least you are acquiring some knowledge.. not all procrastination is created equal you right!? lets bring it
How to be efficient and work smarter: i listen to nate o'brien videos at work: therefore i dont lose time on youtube at home, i improve my knowledge about productivity and money management, and last but not least, i work on my english listening. Thank you nate, from paris!
l like to work on my english listening using 'productivity gurus' like nate, nathaniel drew, thomas frank, joey from better ideas and matt d'avella, great resources to learn the american accent and grow as a person
I time everything. It takes about an hour to do most errands or chores, such as buying groceries, supper and dishes, vacuuming, ironing, etc. This makes it easier to schedule my day.
I only focus on the complicated for a certain amount of time. In between, I do mundane chores, such as dishes, laundry, swivel sweep, dust, etc. This gives my mind time to refresh itself.
being produtive means starting something and finishing it whether it takes either 5 minutes or 2 hours - without any kind of distraction - that's what I think of productivity and the most important skill for being productive is focus.
I have found planning my day and sticking with it leaves me so many more hrs in the day. When you lay around on the weekend, it flies by and nothing gets accomplished
yes!! having a concrete plan before each day is something I do and something i have my clients do when I coach them. It seriously makes a huge difference having a plan vs just winging it... everyone tends to lean towards procrastination when there isn't plans and deadlines for thing. Let me know how i can hep you along your journey man lets crush it
I honestly think a lot of this stems from our education system. We are not taught to critically think, but instead blindly follow instructions and do as we are told. I'm astounded by the number of very talented and great people in the professional world that do not try to think out of the box, frankly because they have never been challenged to do so. I love your channel, thanks for sharing this video.
couldn't agree more man!!! it's very common.... that's why they say A students work for C students. A students tend to focus all their time and energy on doing things right instead of trying things.... C students can some times tend to just do things.... fine balance there. Hope you are well lets crush it
The rest of my day starting now is: toss out all the big bags of cloths and shoes, and then complete the last 4 pages of my book, do the last editing of the book, then editing the other two books, and the pic out the covers for all three books, then journal my day, pick out the next 3 prompts for my poetry writing challenge, research for my next book, smoke cbd while listening to life coaches and do some grooming and sleep.
1. Work expands to fill the time allotted to it. Have strict deadlines. 2. Work smarter (take a step back to spend time planning and optimizing) 3. Become a "No" man 4. Avoid multitasking, use time blocking 5. Take the marathon approach to working hard - work steadily and reward yourself for it.
Hey Nate, I really like your idea about taking a step back every so often, in order to make sure you're still heading in the right direction. No point in continuing to scrub the floor with a toothbrush if you can use a mop
The sponsor LASTPASS honestly creates efficiency. I trust their security and use LASTPASS on several platforms. Back in the day I maybe had 3 passwords, which isnt the case anymore, it's in the hundreds. LASTPASS also will create tricky passwords for me. In productivity I did find the calendar app and reminder app on my phone has become second nature in planning my time accordingly. I was a fan of DAYTIMER paper planners and had to get used to the digital shift. Get stuff done, but have some fun.
hahaha RIGHT!? i think it's fine to do some... i'd say set an alarm on your phone for a certain amount of time and then when it goes off wherever you are you can pick up the next day. Lets crush this year man
Thank you Nate your videos always motivating to do better every time I watching and it’s exactly what it’s happening to me I am in the process of writing a book And every week I dedicate a few hours, my goal was to have it ready by April, Now that I watch your video, it’s more motivating to by organize and finish in time with your good advice that you showed us is very helpful
I work on creative projects until I'm no longer inspired. I usually work on 2 or 3 projects at the same time. It's good to take a break and do something new.
Your new b-roll and cinematic footage in the last couple of videos are dope, BUT you have such a great ability to talk and explain yourself fluently for long periods of time without any jumpcuts (unlike most youtubers) - I think it's one of your greatest strengths, I actually felt that the b-roll in this video made me lose concentration unlike your past videos. so even though it seems like a higher quality production, I'm not sure it's actually better. hehe funny also relates to this video's topic - working harder to do a task that can be done in a simpler way.
Thank you very much ! I love "make sure that you work smarter before start to work harder" that's the point for many people including me ! I've read a boo about that "winning without losing : 65 strategies for building a wildly successful business while living a happy and balanced life" it was helpful to understand that " you need to work hard and forget everything else to build a successful business is a BS someone said one day and everybody just believe it without even trying other ways"
facts right there!!!! definitely important to understand time management and keep yourself heading in the right direction and on time. Hoping you are well and lets crush it this year. New levels to get to
Reminds me of the 4 hour workweek book. After reading that book, it made me realize how much time we waste doing unproductive and meaningless tasks. The key isn't to be "busy" but be productive. We aren't lazy if we want to work smarter and NOT harder.
OH YEAH, I'm liking that sponsorship. You're getting up their with the big UA-camrs and being able to see your progression from a few years ago is insane! Every video just keeps getting better, keep it up man. I like the watch closeup 😉
First off I'd like to thank you for taking the time to make these awesome videos. I appreciate your content and your valuable advice. I thought you were like 26 years old but I discovered in one of your other videos that we're actually the same age because of this it makes it more easier and relatable. You're a very inspirational person and I'd like to say continue the great work. Wish you the highest good and thank you again!
Not much things in life that you can control other than your time and your attitude...master that and I am sure productivity will come :) Never stop to motivate, man.
I feel like people underestimate the importance of saying no to others when it comes to how they spend their time. This is such a good point. Are you doing what serves you?
hahaha yes and that's definitely a potential... go to youtube to learn and then spend too much time on youtube... maybe set an alarm on your phone for so much time that way when it goes off no matter what you are doing you can pick up another day where you left off. Hope you crush it this year
I am definitely guilty of putting my head down and just working and working without ever picking my head up. Its a very sad and unfulfilling way to live. Thankfully, I am making changes in my life now, so things should improve!
Great explanation! There's nothing more I hate than people telling me how "busy" they are at work. Most people have no clue about the difference between "being busy" and being productive. When it comes to understanding how to be efficient, it's nuclear physics to them.
I agree with being a "no" person, because I've been that way for a long time. But do take the time to say "yes" to the things you really want to do. I've found that I spent too many years saying no when I easily could have said yes and created great memories. But overall I do agree with you
I find myself procrastinating tasks that I don't like. It often holds me back from completing what I want to complete because I first need to do something different. I guess it's best to accept that work is not always fun and that the sooner the boring or discouraging tasks are done, we can start with what brings us forward on our journey.
Great time management tips!! Talking about Parkinson's Law, imagine if we knew how much time we have left to live. There's a great sci-fi movie In Time in which basically people know how much time they got before death, and in the movie time replaces money: the richer you are - you've got more time, the poorer you are - less time, so the poor are like more productive because of that.
YESSS!! i tell my clients this all the time... gotta live like there is only a little time left.. really changes quite a bit when you come from that mindset. Focus on what's most important to you. I hope you crush this year
Love your content Nate! I definitely agree with this! 👍😊😃 I’m still working on this myself. Great tips! Working smarter is definitely key to most things! 😃
I am so glad to have subscribed to you Nate because I always wanted to know how to be a little more productive and this video made me think a little more about how to do it.
We found out one of the powerful is having a great knowledge thank you very much everyone for sharing knowledge that beneficial please post more it's important
4:35 If you work in a high-pressure environment as a leader, you have to do the two boxes on the left first. You have to delegate tasks right away because it's so fast-paced.
Neat, I hadn't heard of Parkinson's Law or the Eisenhower Box. I don't know why I find learning info on UA-cam so much more compelling than when I was in college, lol.
Nate, I feel you on the whole "drink a glass of water in the morning." thing, but when I wake up and have that bad morning breath taste in my mouth, the last thing I want to drink is morning-breath-infused water. XD
Nice change up Nate. Outside the apartment & off the couch lol. Nice addition with the graphic. I would take out the background music when your explaining the main points. Maybe just for the ad & some slow mo b roll stuff.
Same with the concept of commitment, it's about doing things regardless of the uncontrollable variables surrounding it. (This is not the word for word definition of commitment tho but this is how I see it)
Great idea using the four quadrants! Love your content and thank you for inspiring me to start my own real estate and channel. Hopefully I can as successful as you one day !
Nate O’Brien is really a legend...because of him I started my way to becoming a millionaire and also made this yt channel where I will try to also help others on the way to become a millionaire
How long did it ultimately take you to really honestly see results in affiliate marketing ????? Would like to know for return on energy and time etc... thank you in advance.
What about a person who is suffering from domestic violence how to increase productivity, I think increasing number of scars and bruises over body is what productivity means
Gotta say, I've been really needing this video recently. I make videos myself and animation is pretty time consuming. Wish I could find ways to keep the quality at the same level, but just get them done quicker haha
I procrastinate by watching UA-cam videos about productivity
Endemic Education tell me why I’m here doing the same 🤝
Yo boi same , drop me a DM and maybe we can try combating it together ?

Or the other way round: try to think out of the box in the corporate hierarchy and see what happens to you.
Steven Huffnagel You know. Not a bad point. I feel like some corporations really encourage it and others hate it, and you never know which is which 😄

Shaun Surgener Yes! Although I’m not fully convinced C students didn’t invent that to make themselves feel better 😂 (ie: me)
No matter what I'm doing, I'm constantly thinking about what I'm going to do next and how efficiently I can do it.
The rest of my day starting now is: toss out all the big bags of cloths and shoes, and then complete the last 4 pages of my book, do the last editing of the book, then editing the other two books, and the pic out the covers for all three books, then journal my day, pick out the next 3 prompts for my poetry writing challenge, research for my next book, smoke cbd while listening to life coaches and do some grooming and sleep.

Nate is so smart
Some soothing piano in the intro. I'm ready to focus and be productive
“I’m not a doctor but I’m going to prescribe you a big ass glass of water”
And chapstick

Hey Nate, I really like your idea about taking a step back every so often, in order to make sure you're still heading in the right direction. No point in continuing to scrub the floor with a toothbrush if you can use a mop
The most efficient thing anyone can do, is to condense everything they say. It's a courteous use of your own time as well as the time of others.
I’m watching this as I’m procrastinating my 4 page essay that’s due tonight
The first UA-camr that is really straight to the point
The sponsor LASTPASS honestly creates efficiency. I trust their security and use LASTPASS on several platforms. Back in the day I maybe had 3 passwords, which isnt the case anymore, it's in the hundreds. LASTPASS also will create tricky passwords for me.

How to be more productive: stop procrastinating and start doing
Me: *i think I'll youtube some more videos on how to be productive*
hahaha RIGHT!? i think it's fine to do some... i'd say set an alarm on your phone for a certain amount of time and then when it goes off wherever you are you can pick up the next day. Lets crush this year man

Watching UA-cam is a curse... :(

Love your content Nate! I definitely agree with this! 👍😊😃 I’m still working on this myself. Great tips! Working smarter is definitely key to most things! 😃
Another efficient use of time is to take more time. Over time, new and easier ideas arise.

Focusing on creating rather than consuming really does change your mindset and helps to use your time more productively!
