So much value added Sam. A lot of people definitely do not understand the importance and value of time, until their whole life has passed and they spent 3 years of their life, cooking or something!
Truly appreciate this video. Insanely powerful to realize that every big goal and every failure is made up of either the little things you did well or the little things did did wrong and repeadted over and over again. Thanks brother. This is perfect for going into and dominating this new year
I'm an entrepreneur my self and you hit it real hard at the end when you talk about having no constraints and too much "free" time. I definitely need to work on this! Great video and content man 👍

Block E Media it’s called investing your time. This is valuable information. How you came across this video is a different story. Holy I just commented a whole paragr-
The most basic rules are so difficult to see. Most people like me are blind for the things that are right in front of them. Thank you for making me see!
Thanks for this Sam, I am applying these principles now. As a business owner I struggle with time management and I am now tracking where my time is going.
Please stop leaving this contradictory comment, you never reply and by the way Im cool with that because it’s aligned with your message. Just stop promising. 🖤👍🏼
Sam, you inspired me to hire what I'm calling a "Food Hero" to outsource all things food for my family. Wrote ad copy as if I was hiring someone for my company and put up a webpage yesterday. Can't wait to fill this position and buy so much of the time I've been wasting back. Love your videos. Keep up the awesome.
Great value of a lesson! Great job. After thinking about this video, you starting to fit the peaces and saw that all these tips it's to obvious. Too obvious that anyone does not see in a whole lifetime. Thanks Alex and Sam!
These are great tips, thank you! I've been struggling with time management and it really does come down to lack of planning and attention to detail. I will be putting your ideas to use. Much gratitude!
Sam thank you so much for the well-timed information and transparency. Just what I needed as I Work to get my business lifted up off the ground. Focused effort and doing less is what I need and will be developing for my life in this upcoming new year or better yet tomorrow as I give it some thought this evening .
Alex Becker sent me. Such valuable information, Mr. Ovens. I went into a bit of a frenzy, pausing your video here and there and going through my kitchen, bathroom, linen closet, 'fridge and so on and purging items that take up my time and provide me with no real value. Food has been a tough thing for me to systemize; although I am not quite to the place of hiring my own chef, I do plan to have groceries delivered and things like toilet paper automatically delivered on a schedule, saving me time and enhancing my productivity. Thanks so much for sharing your insights.
Same when I moved to Miami last year. I thought I could be thrown in any environment and own it just as much, only to realize a big part of my success was du to the environment I previously took years to set up. Gold advice here man.
Really interesting video. You made me realize that I should be planning my meals in a much better way. Right now, I'm intermittent fasting during the week (I am an elementary teacher and I teach in French), so I eat once a day. I started doing that as an experiment, but it turned out to be like the best thing ever! However, when the end of the day come, this is where I sometimes make bad food choice. I'm so tired with all the decisions I had to make during the day that I end up neglecting my health and that is not acceptable. You made me realized that I should plan all my meals for the week (even the month) and stick to it. Thanks!
I already follow you but alwx Becker did mention this video specifically and he said he trully believes in you your message and your mastermind 100% verified you are the truth I already love your messages and content throughout 2018 but it was really cool to see another influencer shout you out. Thanks for being Real. 2019 is all about waking up from the social media fog that has been created over the last few years.
“How long will this decision last? How can I set up my life so I don’t need to think about this again? What decision do I need to make so that this circumstance/issue/problem is taken care of from this point forward?” This thinking will change everything. Thank you.
Alex Becker Sent me here... I definitely see why I am losing some productivity, and focus after watching this video thank you Sam for sharing your personal experience of death of a thousand cuts, and tips to get back on track.
This is fantastic. It is easy to get caught in the net of the vast amount of content. Cardone, Lopez, Vaynerchuck (like your ad) and many other sub-producers that have tidbits of gold in their content. Sifting through the advice and trying to decide what is good and what is trash is a real effort in itself. I have decided to cut that out of my life, and study you and your methods instead. Thank you for this amazing content. It is excellent.
Just getting back into the groove of creating my business, and every pitfall and solution that u mentioned is what I have been experiencing, ....so moving forward to productive days, thanks for your insights
Thanks Sam! Really improves upon my perspective and direction. I was trying to decide between subcontracting, SEO and content creation for social channels and this made me decide that I need to just do SEO for now, subcontracting would only be to outsource my content creation but if I just focus on SEO perhaps I won't need to outsource content stuff down the track and master content and SEO. Then I don't need to subcontract either; one thing at a time, narrow my focus.
Here from A Becker, I think you just revealed one of the secrets to success! We’ve all heard time management advice, but this one is the best as now I am able to see my whole life in the picture.
This advice is really for advanced productive people, not for begginers. If you are new to full day productivity, take it step by step... don't force it!
Not that anybody needs to give you any advice because your the man! So with much respect. Try intermittent fasting eating only once or two times per day. If done correctly its healthier and you have more energy throughout the day. It’s been an amazing transformation for myself going on two years. It’s actually very sustainable and I spend less on food. I really only think about eating one time a day at dinner. Great new place Sam and this is the best advice because it’s so little nobody notices what it does to them.
Training your body to this IF routine will itself take weeks. Stomach Fever is guaranteed in transition phase. People working all day will surely get bad hungry.
Yeah, I also got here via Alex Becker. I'm taking your advice on evaluating decisions based on how long they last. I'm also going to adjust my sleeping schedule so that I actually have one.
I listened to this while on a focus pill 💊 I think you got something here. Funny I can tell you like software development from how you say ‘ship a product’ and full stack. This is all true. Thanks Sam.
I agree with this video 100%. For a period of time I was a digital nomad and found my productivity levels to be abysmal. Needing to regularly find new accomodation, ID good places to eat, find good places to work etc was killing my life. I felt like a basic human needing to re-invent the wheel every few months. Right now what's working really well for me is intermittent fasting (one less meal to think about) and having two really simple meals each day which take about 5 mins to prepare and food which is tasty and hits my macronutrients. I love the idea of doing the '100 units of time' activity once a month to get regular insight into how I'm using my time. Great video Sam.
Hi Tom yeah for sure. For lunch I have two poached eggs (I heat each egg in the microwave for a minute), a bowl of broccoli with olive oil and an avocado. Add rock salt for extra flavour. For dinner - it's a little unconventional and is more like a breakfast but I really look forward to it at the end of each day. Its 2 cups of oats, with a handful of blueberries and a tablespoon of cocoa. I whack it into the microwave for 2 mins then it's done. I then add some greek yoghurt and a drizzle of maple syrup. I estimate that eating these two meals give me at least an hour extra of freedom each day - highly recommended. I'm not sure what your physical goals are - they may change the quantities you need to eat. I'm in 'cutting' mode which reduces the amount I need to eat.
@@DF430 Damn - I love especially the dinner meal and I'm addicted to it now! But I use melted dark chocolate. :) thank you so much - you could do videos on 5 minute healthy meals hacks.
Hello Mr. Owens. I'm just a man looking into starting my own e-commerce website. I am watching some UA-cam videos in an effort to educate myself on possible pitfalls and productivity "killers". Thank you for reminding me that it all starts with ME!
Makes perfect sense... Tim Ferriss talks about batching, Jordan B Peterson talks about cleaning your room, Alex Becker talks about laser focus (thanks to Becker for leading me here)... get out of your own way.
Thanks Sam, I like the video and appreciate you sharing. Im at a cross roads myself trying to sort out where Im going in life business wise. Currently in a Fly in/Fly out job with allot of time on my hands. frustrating but trying to put my time to good use with another business that has a fundamental reason or goal to get into. Thanks
Now, I'm recognising those small 1000 cuts in my life! Before I saw obvious issues and obstacles and for the rest I didn't care, I thought OK, it's not a big deal. But together all those small cuts are counted for a really big danger. Thank you, Sam!
You know up until right now at this very moment, i truly believe this is the most valuable piece of information ive received in the last 3 years. After graduating high school and being a complete scatter brained moron i am going to try my best to follow this piece of advise because now i know how important it is, Thank you Sam

Save time on food
Make a schedule
Save time on little things
save time whenever you can
