Thank you for featuring our course Thomas 😊✌🏼 That was an AWESOME list!
Francesco @ Keep Productive 🌈
For sure! I've been getting a TON of requests for a Notion video. I'm still going to make one at some point, but I was stoked to see that you'd just gone ahead and put together an entire course 😁
Thomas Frank Your Notion video is going to be DOPE. I’ll drop you a line about that for my channel, my community would adore to see your set-up.
Try the Study Bunny app for android, it's the best!
Help me
Forever watching productivity videos to procrastinate.
Cathartico 😂😂 same over here
Same here
Yeah, same😂
Here I am =(
Spamez Oh God ...
I need someone to slap me when I’m not productive.
faisal lol how are you finding me? 😂
Adnan A i used to think that, but that came from my not understand what discipline is. Discipline isn’t punishment. It is saying to yourself: I don’t feel like doing this; Its uncomfortable. Its worth it though and I’m stronger than I think so I’m going to do it anyway” repeatedly to yourself and following through.
Bro I will slap the absolute sh*t out of you any day, just hit me up.
Where do i sign? Ahah
👋
I have a tip for yall: *delete UA-cam from your phone*
I have an UA-cam addiction and I can't seem to find a way to get rid of UA-cam. Please help if you have an idea.
How can we do that isn't it an inbuilt app
UA-cam is actually very helpful if you consume the right content so I learn a lot on UA-cam 🤷🏽♀️
Honestly .. I stoped using all my social media .. I just can't with youtube
dis microwave tech support UA-cam has a take a break reminder or you could set up time limits if you have an iphone
You've just caught me procrastinating again. Thanks!
FORCE!
He caught me working xD
same :(
Hey Your Dp is same as arihant publication
I use Forest a lot in not just studying but also focusing in general. My mind tends to wander a lot and Forest holds it accountable. I can learn to put my phone down when I need to.
@@MMchezziscoo i love productivity challenge timer
M M plantie
Same!! The app works for me too because I feel guilty if I kill a tree 😆
THE MITOCHONDRIA IS THE POWERHOUSE OF THE CELL
No I am
Mitochondria is a bacteria(like organism) which joined cell to get dependable nutrients and the cell use it to get energy - mutual parasitism
Cool huh
@@yt-sh yeah it really is thanks for sharing
“Mitochondria” is plural.
O.. K.
I use Forest everyday🌳💜
I use saw-like traps that make me do something or... well...
me too and since i started i´ve focused more than a whole week in total, it´s great
Fabuloso, cómo limpia mi fabuloso ♪♫♬
HAHAHAHAAHHAHA ME ENCANTA TU NOMBRE
I used to but then I switched to Tide for some reason lol
Great list bro. I’m a recently new subscriber and these types of videos are great, especially for my upcoming gcse tests. Keep it up!
FORCE!
good luck man. gcse's seem way more intense than when i did them
How did you a levels turn out?
Your lighting and color grading is just perfectly amazing.
I'm starting uni this year but I've watched your videos for a year now. I feel less anxious about working and being responsible thanks to your videos. thanks you !
[glow!] Thank you so much for the amazing Beeminder plug! And even if I weren't highly biased, your videos are beautifully done and hugely practical. Of course being a fellow productivity app nerd I knew about most of these. But some were new to me and I just installed Tide which is beautifully done.
i really think that this new editor has been giving you more time to focus on the content of the videos, personally i really appreciate it!
Gj Thomas and cheers to the editor, he's doing a good job too
Hey Thomas! What an awesome video! Really well scripted, constructed and entertaining!
Keep up the awesome work!
Thomas, thank you for creating a channel that helps me be a better person after every video. There’s no other channels that I know that do this.
Thank you! Check out Charisma on Command if you haven't already - it's run by a couple very good friends of mine and I think they also hit that goal :)
I need this. A video. I'm sick and would be bored out of my gut, if it wasn't for your videos and podcast episodes. Started last week, right now on episode 51. Thanks Thomas!
You're too attractive I didn't hear around 20 points
Yep he is
Love your videos and it's really crisp to understand. I am actually starting out on my own with a mission to help college students or fresh grads from B school to help in Product Management (I am a Product Manager) and Productivity. Your videos are an inspiration to me! ❤️
I needed this. Thanks
Lol your sponsorship transitions are hands down the best on youtube
All of this was great as always bro ... but can u do a video about " Apps youtubers need " in which u can cover the ones contrilling productivity and destroying destruction and some others for the tools we need and resources .
I saw a lot of vids about them but I think that if u do creat one , ur version is gonna be one of the greatest out there and cover what we really need .
Keep up the good work man
im gonna have a really rough test next week and I think these tips are gonna help me focus
Keep up the good work Thomas! and thank you:)
Great stuff. There's so many options out there but you picked some good ones.
FORCE!
Love the silent-Discord idea so much! Thank you
Thank you so much. Your videos are always enlightening!
Amazing ty. This is so inspiring.I came on to find help to keep me in the zone well making art I’m already pretty focused but I wanna improve every day obviously and now this makes me want to make UA-cam videos thanks for all the knowledge, hard work and time you put into this I can already tell the rest are going to be amazing too. Now as soon as I’m allowed to use my phone after I blocked myself I will watch more of your videos that will be my reward. Thanks again
Exams are coming in two weeks. Always great content at the right time for some reason. Thanks Thomas.
I'm gonna start a UA-cam channel to track my learning progress. You inspired me, Thomas. Thanks!
Great video as always, Thomas. But I would recommend you to expand the video frame so that people will be able to see your hands/palms. Not only your gestures will become more clear but also (from a psychological perspective) your subscribers will trust you more ;)
Great video thanks, had to watch it again to get all this great info.
Thank you so much! I needed a video like this ♥️
Thanks for a great list of apps/cool, useful services I'd never heard of before and tips that are unique (at least to me)! Super helpful video.
Hopefully now I can stop procrastinating and finish my Essay! Thanks for the tips Tom :)
Just found you and instantly LOVE your content. Subscribed.
Yes, I’ve been wondering what are the best app for me to stay on task and build healthier habits when I’m not at work or at the gym. Love your videos Tom.
I needed this bro. Thank you !!
I squealed at the sight of the notification! I've been using tide ever since you recommended it, and It's been helping me study for upcoming finals and sleep better! Sending love from Egypt.
The Seinfeld strategy is so cool! Definitely going to try to use it for some habits I am trying to work on. Thanks a ton.
Got the notification right when I was procrastinating. Thanks
The links in the description are a little wonky. Some are repeated in the wrong place or innacurate. Otherwise can't wait to use some of these apps!
As someone who’s overly type A about what I’m writing + also have ADD the one that only shows the last typed letter will be SO helpful to me lol
Fantastic content, I really needed this
This was useful information thank you!
I use forest and that’s the most life changing (in a positive way lol) app I’ve ever downloaded! 10/10 recommended
me too!!
Same. It’s awesome
Same! The premium version is sooo worth it.
it doesnt really work, i can chill on any app including youtube without my tree dying:)
@@maxXxbecks same
Than you for the productivity tips! it is very useful! Keep up
I love the Forest app. It really helps me use my phone less. I don’t want that tree to die! Great video Thomas. Hello from London.
a day/week in the life of THOMAS FRANK. PLSS
Awesome video man! Going to have a crack at using some of these applications!
Watching from France. Great video, as always 😉
Just Found you on SkillShare, took a Class and Now I'm here. 😄
Could you do a video on how to stop ‘anxiety procrastination’, aka when you avoid doing something because it is anxiety/stress provoking? Would help me loads as I really struggle with that and have struggled with it for years.
Man. . . I hardly ever comment on youtube.
But your channel is so incredible, and your content beastly!
Keep it up!
Amazing video, help me a lot. Thank you Thomas
Thanks for giving and sharing great tips like that.
Thank you man !
Loved Tide app
Great apps bro, thanks for sharing them. I hope I can use some of these apps in my daily routine.
This is great! Thank you!
Thanks, I really needed this (senior year of high school)
Man you are PERFECTION. I love your channel!! 😍😘
thank you very much. you are saying exactly what I need.
It would be cool if you could make a ‘What’s on my Phone’ Tag!
You're awesome dude!
thank you so much for all your videos!
I woke up at 5am thinking why didn't Thomas upload a new video? I connected my mobile with WiFi and Boom! A newsletter and a new video by Thomas.
Great Video! Like always.
I love this I need less distractions in my life as possible but with social media and other notifications on my phone it gets me off track throughout the day which is probably me making excuses again......😓😓 but I’m getting better at not procrastinating and decreasing my screen time on my phone and study 📖 more
This video is so useful! Thank you! Thomas, can you please make a new video about how you get organized? The one you made is from 3 years ago, and probably you came up with something new. I've been struggling because I'm starting a new youtube channel, blog, facebook page and all that digital marketing stuff. I'm also a mom and student, I really need some help.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHH I NEEDED AND UPDATED ONE AND HERE IT IS!!!
this is such an amazing video!
I installed Tide just a few days ago and loved it! I had to do some last minute studying for a test and really did help me a lot. I put rain sound on the app plus piano music on UA-cam and studied so comfortably while making sure to take breaks, it was awesome
Oh, I love writing and used cold turkey for a good while last year as well, but then kinda fell off the train, this video reminded me to go back to it, I haven't been writing as much lately
I used a time tracking app on Android called "Time Tracker - Timesheet" from Gridvision Engineering to track my daily time use.
You can set up overview groups with smaller more specific tasks inside, then just tap when you start and tap when you end. You can get a good overview of either the sub-tasks or the overall groups in a selected timeframe.
I used to do groups like Hobbies, leisure/relax/entertainment, work, sleep/nap (but that lost meaning for me because I use Sleep as Android for that) and then I can add other stuff that is major or important to me and track that. Like business deal or idea implementations. You can make it as simple and generalized or as detailed and specific as you desire.
I think I will get back into that, because my habit tracker is just for general minimums I wish to achieve in a day or a week and does not give me the actual time used doing an activity I track as a habit.
Similar to screen time on ios, Android pie also has digital wellbeing which lets you track and set limits on app usage.
Which nobody takes into practice
Super helpful. Definitely gonna need this to prep bmt 👏👏👏😅😊
Thank you so much!! These apps are so cool
I needed this!!!!
Excellent video. Thank you.
I hate you. That's the third video of yours I've been watching in a row. I'll certainly check some of the apps you suggested because I need to get back on track like I used to be. Thanks for being that beautiful soul and person you are. LOVE, LIVE, LEARN n LAUGH MAC
This came at a perfect time. I work full time and go to school full time and have been sincerely just depressed and have been wasting time and making my situation even worse. Thanks for uploading this!
this video quality is absolutely crazyyyy
I could watch and listen you all day
Great video, as always
I definitely needed this video! I get easily distracted 😂
What’s up with 11:22?
I love your playlist
11:22 I thought I was having a stroke
Great video. Thank you. Also, where did you get that hoodie you were wearing? I need one of those.
Next video on How to get that glowing skin plzz 😁
I was watching coralline yesterday ! Ugh such a good movie
Great video!!!
This is so useful! Favourited.
The skype/discord call is an absolutely brilliant idea! I feel so lonely working from home :D
Hey Thomas,
Now that you have a team you are working with, can you share what do you and your team do to collaborate with each other?
Productivity and organization have been become sort of a thing I want to make a part of my life, but not all of my teammates has the same priority. I'm trying to create a system with which everyone can work autonomously and collaboratively but kinda stuck on where to start.
He mentioned coraline! Mad respect ✊.
I watch your videos every time I procrastinate studying or doing homework
thank you UA-cam for recommending me this video!
It's an awesome video! But a lot of people , including me, find it difficult to do something while something or someone is forcing them to do it, can you make a video to increase the productivity of such type of people?
Thank you!
Hey Thomas, can you please make a video on how to learn to code for free (for beginners)
Forest is cool, tide is nice too 👌
And I’ve waited for the video in which you’ll mention the new iOS feature, Screen Time, it made my life so much better in just one week ✔️
You should definitely come speak at Iowa State! We'd love to have you
You and Michael La Ronn from Author Level Up should team up for a set of videos. I'd watch that. Thanks for sharing!
