I watched this video instead of watching lecture recordings. I love to procrastinate. Next I might clean the bathroom.
I bought tickets for a movie
I am so into cleaning when I need to prograstinate something more important, than cleaning (if I wouldn't prograstinate this things I would never clean). Today I made my whole bed and cleaned the floor! But I only done 1/4 assignments for tomorrow (because I needed to mail it to someone 22:00) and I write an important Test, which I didn't learn for yet :)
just make you schedule it :D
@@lilli77 same, I clean every lil shit every lil corner when I have something other to do
and I shall carry your legacy
"Failure" and "shame" are big red flags. Give yourself positive reinforcement not negative. It's not only nicer, it's more effective.
Love is Vulnerability ...comes from a guy who‘se name is „Love is vulnerability“😂
I have tried scheduling by hour, by day and by week. The most effective and draining I had was by hour. Now you would think scheduling by day would be the best, but I would often fall off the routine. Eventually, I settled with scheduling by week. At the end of every week, I set my goals, prioritize and strategize a game plan. I assign points to each task I add to my list and reward myself based on the number of points I collect. It has dramatically improved the quality of my life.
I don’t know, I don’t think you’ve failed any days. You’re doing more than you were doing before and that’s literally a positive.
A 20% margin for "life happens" helps. I overestimate how much time something will take by 20% and put 30 min breaks in every 2 hours. They also help me pivot if my priorities change after the day starts and account for things like my husband/bird distracting me by being cute... Also I heard a great saying about working with people which may help you feel better: you can't focus on being efficient with people the way you can with tasks, you have to focus on being effective.
Yo good insight! Thanks a lot!
30 minute breaks every 2 hours sounds like it would actually be really great! Thanks for the comment Katherine!
Whoa, this comment is lifechanging! Thank you so much!
@Michael Davis just seeing this now... I do still use this, HOWEVER my job has changed to involve significantly more stuff based on other people, and maintenance tasks that are every ongoing rather than something you can complete. Time estimates don't really work with stuff like that. Instead I try to set zones for specific activity categories and let my priorities dictate how I fill the rest of the time. I really like tim Ferris' article "productivity tricks for the neurotic..." for a method to use on crazy days when I am feeling overwhelmed though.
I think it’s harsh to punish yourself with a fail day when the cause is something outside of your control.
Ironically, I’m procrastinating currently whilst watching this video.
I think it helped with keeping me on track, but I don't know if it's something I would do long term.
I've done something similar to this for the past 5 years. I started it after going through a depression stage for almost 3 years. The difference with mine is that I have a to do list and I note everything I do through out the day. Still I go with the flow as I like to do different things plus life is so unpredictable.
Still it has come in handy when I cant remember what I did the past week or 3 weeks before. I have also stopped eating fast food for the past 2 years and have saved alot more money as I become more aware of where my time and money is going. It's become a habit but looks like I'm going to have to start becoming more intentional. There is always room for improvement.
I used to do this and it made me much more productive than on my "free" days. It also reduces decision fatigue and reluctance, because you don't have to think about what you are going to do next. As you noticed, it is important to give yourself enough leeway in case something unpredictable happens and don't be too harsh on yourself when you were not able to follow the schedule 100%.
Sadly, I went through some difficult times (plus laziness) so I lost this routine and I definitely notice the setbacks. Thus this month I'm going to try to implement it again!
Best of luck to all of you who are going to try this! And @goalguys thank you for this video!
I know it's been SO long, but how did it go?
@@bleubleubleu Hey, no problem! Honestly, life has changed so much in the past two years with the whole pandemic and stuff. I was in between graduating and finding a job, so there wasn't much to do. I tried planning a part of my day and kept evenings free. It helped me create somewhat of a routine and not spend hours gaming lol. Nowadays I have a job, so I only use it to plan work outs/house chores haha. Hope that answers your question :)
If you do everything in your control, and only “fail” due to things out of your control, that counts as a success in my book!

A damn legend this guy is
Every time, even if no toothpaste is spilled, it always is there
This is a very good exercise to show everybody. If there are issues that need resolving I don't hold it against myself (officially) to push back everything I need to push back. Life is a constant evaluation of the priorities and if something comes up that is the highest priority it by all means should be placed in front of other items.
It's crucial not to allow outside factors to cause a mark of 'failure' on your own scheduling. Proper handling of adjustments is worthy of self commendation each time it happens because there is stress involved and a quick adjustment is necessary.
Pretty cool topic could definitely give this a shot myself.
That 360 shot was dope as well.
Do it mate! Let me know how it goes for you.
I will start from monday and post it here after a week and if i could carry it upwards of 30 dats mark will update my post , right now i have to drive for 4000 kms straight to move to a new city , (just an effort to fix myself and my life as a whole)
Dillon anything happening with this?
@@Efficiencyts I lasted about a week before it went to crap, so I'll need to give it another shot.
@@Efficiencyts Oh You mean Dillion lol, I gave it a crack anyways. Way harder than it looks
With no plan at all your daily actions are driven by input triggers. Always make a plan.

Good video btw! Keep it up. Might try this!
Thanks mate! You should definitely give it a try,
I LOVE planning. I plan my days, week, month, quarter, and year.
Really glad you did this. I’m always hearing about how you’re behind and to be honest i feel like that too, but this is motivating so thank you!
Cheers Harry!
The videos are always worth watching, and are often very helpful for me. I'm glad I found your channel. :)
I love the channel. Fr fr, I hope you guys grow more. Your content is so crisp calm clean and you both r very likable credible people. Please keep it up.
Thanks Dalan! We're really trying to put out more stuff and hopefully we can grow if we just keep working hard. Appreciate ya mate.
Listen, you should have an option to move the "must do" parts to the next day if there was outside influence (delayed flights etc) but cool that you put in the work to prove the benefits and downsides.
Yeah some flexibility would have gone a long way with this challenge.

The main thing on my schedule honestly.
Schedules in time for self loathing, also has a UA-cam channel and films weddings and has a girlfriend.
@@GoalGuys I'm sorry to hear that. I hope it lifts for you.
You guys footages and timelapses are so good!
I haven't even watched the video yet but just have to say that the thumbnail is killer! You guys did a great job!
This is awesome & brutal. I've tried things like this many times before but I've found the number 1 thing for me is getting really powerful grounding as to why I'm doing what i'm doing as reason to continue that motivation. Have you ever read the book The Fountainhead? For me finding a philsophical grounding is so powerful to make disicpline seem a lot more doable. Congrats on the productive month!
Yeah man, there were definitely times things felt a bit purposeless to schedule, which sucked. Never heard of The Fountainhead, I'll have to check it out!
I'll second grabbing a copy of The Fountainhead!
Ayn Rand's FOUNTAINHEAD-- Ah....i read it three times when i was 18 many moons ago-' and MANY MANY books later it is still on my top ten-- and maybe#1 in the long- term effect of a piece of literature on life.
Great discipline! As much as my type-A personality would love for scheduling every hour of the day to work, I also know that it is impossible to predict it all. When I try to plan it out, and inevitably get off track, I get frustrated and stressed and ultimately end up being unproductive for the whole rest of the day.
Instead, I like to make a to-do list for the week, split into "school" "life" and "long-term" (not necessarily to be done this week, but to be kept in mind), then I also make a list of the fun things I have planned for the week, to motivate me to do well on the others and keep me from feeling overwhelmed.
Usually this is enough, but on days where I know I have to be super productive, I make an *order* of the things I have to do, but don't set super strict time constraints on them. That way I have a plan, but don't beat myself up if I get side-tracked by an incident or a friend or simply by a task taking a bit longer than I had initially thought it would. Hope this helps someone else!
That sounds like a really good system! The rigidness of my schedule in this video definitely got old pretty quickly, so it's nice to hear about yours being a bit more sustainable.
Thank you very very very very much
Thanks so much for this video! I just got laid off last week and I've been struggling to get back into a set schedule. This video definitely has given me the motivation to get myself back up and out there again.
Sorry to hear about the lay off, but I'm glad you're getting back on track! Best of luck!
200K subs. CONGRATS!
Great channel, original ideas. I love it!
Dude this video was amazing. The continuous one shot from 6:11 to 6:29 is awesome filmmaking aswell !!!
Thanks for making videos like this. It’s really motivating me to procrastinate less!
Glad to hear it mate!!
Ur transition from a structured job to self employment felt a lot like my transition from law school to bar prep. Self discipline is required and I've failed more days than I'd planned but we press on..
Amazing,life lessons.thank you so much
Great video. I'm glad to see the addition of your final thoughts and considerations at the end.
Haha thanks Callan! Trying to take feedback as much as I can.
Wow, great video. I have heard of this idea before but you showed me that it can truly work. Thank you!
Ay thanks mate!
This is a really cool format for a video!
Great 👍 video - working for yourself can definitely be chaotic, I sure need more structure in my life lol - thanks for sharing 🙏
I'd love to get an end of year review (or half year review) where you look back at all the different challenges that you have done and then share with us what you have kept and what you have not
I looove calendar blocking, it's crucial for me to make a to do list and slot things in. But, I like to buffer time between tasks for when things go wrong like your bank issue. I mainly like to calendar block only when the tasks are dependent on ME, like my school work, exercise, and administrative tasks like bills etc. If I have a massive to do list, a good plan with blocks of the day to complete the tasks is best because it leaves less room or procrastination. But trying to plan rigid schedules with social time and transit is too difficult so I don't always do that.
Congrats on doing youtube/freelancing fulltime time! Such an underrated youtube channel you guys have here.
Thanks mate!
I love this video. So good. So inspiring. Got lots of questions. Did you even schedule social time for these 30 days?! How many hours of work are you trying to accomplish per day? How's your sleep?
Can you guys do a Year's Best Roundup of all the best habits you've picked up in 2019? The ones that stuck and that you plan to maintain going forward? I think people would be really into that.
the editing is awesome
I sooooo appreciate this video
I think having scheduled break time helps a lot too.
Definitely!! Times to use my phone or go make coffee all aide in productivity.
Editing is so on point👌
Appreciate that!
I'm Working with a "getting done" like schedule. Todo's coming back every Day. Vriday is a dat with no todo's. So if i am behind i cats up on fridays. IT gives a more flexibele schedule. But still on track with the weekly goals. You can look in to it
Hey dude, awesome vid! First time watching and I dig your connection with the viewer. It resonates.
I'm run my own cleaning company and my days get eaten by random stuff easily, similar to yours. This makes me feel unproductive- even though I do tons of shit every day. Watching your vid- I recognised a pattern, so I was thinking if maybe scheduling all the work stuff from 7:00- 3:00 pm and not else can enter this timeframe. This would leave the entire afternoon for regular life things and f**k-ups are welcome to happen without interrupting your entire work schedule. Does this make sense to anyone and has anyone tried this?
This is extremely interesting.... i would add rescheduled immediately when an interuption occurs and always being able to access tasks without set times....count those days as success, only days you willingly neglect a task are fails
Great video. It’s hard to make your life like robot, instead i set a daily goal like 30 mins practices. 5 hours work, 2 hours learning ... etc no matter what time it is.
I’m gonna try this. Thank you!
Let me know how it goes for you!
Awesome effort and consistence man
Thanks Josh!
LOL this is so good! Love it!
Thanks Anthony! Appreciate ya mate.
I have my calendar filled from midnight to midnight with repeating events. And I often make changes and save as "this and future events"
Schedule tip: Never, and I mean NEVER, brush your teeth while wearing a shirt!
Switching shirts because of stains can cost you about 23.8 seconds on your day!
Love the video :)
Optimistic people tend to underestimate time commitments because they don't anticipate complications, so a consequence of having great momentum is that your scheduling might become more unrealistic. If you're going to go back to scheduling yourself more rigidly, it could help to keep track of how much time certain tasks actually take rather than how much time you think they might take and factor in 15-ish% longer for complications, then do the scheduling for your next day at the end of your scheduled work when you are still in productivity mode but are at the tail end of your energy and willpower so you're not tempted to overestimate yourself because of how good you feel.
Capitalizing on energy and directing it toward the right activities is something I've had to learn to do in my life as I've always had pretty drastic mood and energy swings throughout the day. Don't know if it's a condition of some kind, it's just part of my reality. And I've learned that I can't plan at my peak, because I overcommit and overwhelm myself, or at my valley, because I undercommit and isolate myself, so the best time is on the downswing between those two states.
This is a good idea to try because as a massage therapist my schedule is unpredictable and I find myself wasting valuable time. It is surprising though how little things like returning a phone call or returning something to the store can set you back on your schedule.
I wouldnt have said that the day were you flew to NY as a failure, it was not your fault. It was an external element that you cannot control.
This is a great idea and great video man 👍🏽
Cheers Jake!
"scouting for new vegan restaurants" ohmygod it's too true
Thats the worst thing of the entire video to quote as relatable
@@StarmenRock You know things can be relatable even if you don't personally relate to them. Don't be so self-centered.
@@skepticmoderate5790 ay fuck off ye, this vegan restaurant culture is being worse than the gourmetization wave we had at the start of the decade. Shit's absurdly overpriced
Sometimes I schedule my every hour if I have a ton of stuff to do, but usually I just schedule my week on Sunday, where I put the most important stuff on my weekly calendar. The rest of the stuff I schedule as I go, every morning or the night before.
Have two things for a day. Scheduled time for the mundane tasks & Me time for leisure, social life, music etc. As per Psychology, Scheduled time is controlled by our Executive part of Brain (Pre frontal cortex) and Me time is controlled by rest of the lobe parts. They are two different activities, that are not controlled by a single part of brain. Humans are both task accomplishers as much as emotional beings. Both should be satiated. Having small leisure breaks in between Scheduled time helps big time for me
You stuck to your schedule 80% of the time and things were outside your control too, so wasn't really your fault. Seems like pretty good going to me. I think you did well. 🤗👍
Rigid schedules are just too tough. I jump between using larger time blocks, or writing out my day's goals. Though no matter what, the right sales call or software bug will de-rail a schedule immediately.
THIS MODIVATED ME TO MAKE A SCHEDULE BECAUSE IM SO BEHIND IN SCHOOL AND ITS THE END OF THE SEMESTER BUT IM GONNA DO IT GUYS IM GONNA!!!!!
I do this everyday, but I can edit my blocks for interruptions.
That's helpful! A little leeway would definitely go a long way with this sort of system.
Sounds like you needed some float items at the end of each day, that way if something gets messed up you can plug the hole with a float item, this being productive while waiting or off track.
Yeah, scheduling in some flex times or items that were able to be pushed would've definitely saved me some stress.

Trying soon!
I wonder what those meal-prepped looking bowls of food were. They look good haha.
Glad u shop at nada
That’s you have to keep organizing the details of your life. If you would have scheduled a time to call the restaurant and let them know you want a reservation you would’ve accomplished your goal. Now you won’t have to complain about it again if you learn from your mistake. Cheers
"Thunder Bay" at 6:45 was so random LOL.
When something doesn't work, you need to immediately erase AND replace items. That way the blocked items retain their value and you can schedule them to another time.
Very interesting! Great editing :)
Thanks Rachel!
@@GoalGuys Thank YOU! :D
Yaaaaas Derick 🙌🏼
Awesome shot about 6 minutes in my man
Thanks mate!
So now you know what it's like to be me during fall semester
It seems that what you've come across is that you should only schedule things that are in your control - where you can say no to other people who try to intervene, but allow yourself to be flexible enough to follow your priorities - that editing can wait if your wife is giving birth.
Therefore, I think the best thing to do is to only micro-manage the start (and maybe end) of your day - that way you're alone before interacting with people, and if you only have a hard schedule of 3-4 hours (awaking at 05:00-06:00); you can still get a lot more done than without it, and carry that momentum forward with you into the day in order to make wiser decisions.
You should schedule for things not going as planned. Especially if other people are involved. Banks, airports, restaurants and so on.
Definitely a challenge for me.
ell done peanut; sponsored by Monday.com, but used google product for the scheduling (they have a timeline feature)
This is giving me Paris Geller vibes and i love it
I would scheduled any day that envolves Flying as just TRAVELLING. It's just gonna be a Lost day, better to assume that then be surprised.
Oh dude, 100%. Learned that the hard way on this one.
Hello, I hope you are good. And after watching your video, which is awesome btw, I do have a question on those taks that you scheduled to a certain time. I mean, what did you do when for instance, you've scheduled a video editing for 2 hrs and then you didn't complete the task. And you can't continue with this since you have scheduled another task for the next hour. What happened there?
I did this 10 years ago. Then too many outside forced made me quit since it was happening daily. It's cool to try at short term but long term no.
Yeah, things that were outside of my control were very frustrating when I was forcing myself into strict time blocks throughout my day.
Y'all need more subscribers ☹ your content is always interesting

I FEEEEEL YOU!
Damn this is an awesome idea, seems intense! Thanks for another great vid
Thanks Mike! Hope things are going well with all your goals.
@@GoalGuys thanks! I am on day 16/30 and have done 11/30 goals so far!
I spend more time planning than actually doing. Like how do you overcome unexpected obstacles, ya just can’t predict them. So what’s wasting time planning events that do always go 100% 🤯
just don’t punish yourself for things out of your control
How the heck are you doing it... I schedule days out all the time and then internet, hunger, procrastination, feelings, emails, people and basically life and myself gets in the way! And I am scheduling breaks, eating, fun time etc! I don't think a single day I have ever scheduled was even roughly going like planned and there you are, doing it a whole month and only a few days didn't work because of flights and such! D: wtf. Really. I cannot believe. Are you a robot? I try to improve myself so much but here I am, not even managing to stick to a simple schedule a day.
@khairuddin....with kfc restaurant sirs@madam(mgt) must rest or relax especially after scheduled maker.. fomerly dbs&dba student from local college....
0:58 Aww
Inspired let me give a try..
can you show you schedule ? :o that you used in this video?
How did you setup your google calendar? Did you setup an event for every hour? How did you get notices that it was time to move onto the next task?
Google Calendar has the option to give alerts, so I would get alerts 5 minutes before most scheduled events. I didn't necessarily do it every single hour, but blocks of time could make up multiple hours if the tasks required that amount of time.
@@GoalGuys Thanks, I tried it out yesterday at work, It fell apart before lunch, but I had a very productive morning.
I believe you should of had a second list (ex, if flight is delayed, I do this)
Hard to forsee all occurrences
That would be a David Allen concept,, from his book getting things done
Gorgeous!
