Man, I can't believe I never came across your videos earlier. I've watched many productivity videos on other channels, but none of them come even close to what you are doing. No crazy edits or music. Just straight to the point and explained in a way that's easy to understand and very practical. Thanks for sharing all this information and tools.
Usually i wont sub someone untill after a couple of videos because so many notifications but sam let me say , you really bring alot of value to us. Just after 3 clips i can tell you know where your standing unlike the majority of the world good luck to you even thought i dont believe in luck!
I listen to you every week! Best channel on UA-cam, thanks for the value 🙌 Actually got me thinking on how I spend my time and how does people that is more successful spend their time on it...
hey Sam, excellent video mon! This is big value right here... been watching your videos couple days now, they wake me up and take me to sleep.. been starving my distractions(didnt know i could pull that one off) and i have been way more focused and proactive.. Thank you so much.. i want to jump on your program when i quit my drop, because i am currently working on a part-time business now. keep changing the world mon.
I can relate so much to the -100$ and 0$ activities, took me years to unwire bad behaviour. Thanks for sharing! Will get on it and try to delegate the not important activities
Just found you and watched several your videos. Life changing material and looking forward to delving deeper. I'm almost annoyed I do not want to start a business as I would like to buy your business-orientated products.
Sam, you're a life saver. This is a huge huge value! I can instantly see the bad choices I'm making and why I haven't been able to reach that next level. But more importantly, I know now how to correct and eliminate all my bad choices and income reducing activities.
I wasn't planning to watch the whole thing....40min later here I am. Thank you. Made me stop and take a second look at how I spend my time. Downloading it:)
This video's insane! I'm going to track this whole week using the 80/20 planner. Already doing a lot of the $100/hr activities :) I needed this right now.
Hey Sam thanks for sharing, I going to apply your tool immediately to see how my time is utilized today. And I'm sure it will be a reality check in the first week, but that's OK as I see this tool as way to make continuous improvement moving forward.
This is awesome value Sam. Came across your channel last week through Tai, and the content you have on your channel is practical and much more useful than most content I see out there. Thank you for this!
This is a great tool and it parallels Gary Keller's The One Thing but it enables you to quantify that one thing (or a series of one things) in terms of importance (revenue producing). Thanks Sam!
Wow, that´s great. I would like to have a sneak peek at your sheet where you track your schedule. In the "Productivity is BS"-Video you talked about how you track the time you wake up etc.. That would be an awesome part 3 to the time management series. Keep it up, Sam.
Your videos have helped me refocus tremendously over the last couple of weeks. I live in spreadsheets and do my best to gamify life (ADHD) but this is probably the biggest life-hack I've come across, period. My biggest regret is that I never took the time to find your content sooner! Thank you, Sam!
Awesome tool Sam !! so stoked to have found this. Over the past couple of weeks i have watched nearly all your videos, I've taken so much valuable information from this. As a fellow Kiwi and Aucklander.. and Vodafone (digital mobile) employee, i can relate to you a lot!!! especially with what you said about the whole "blokey" culture we have.. its hard to be accepted when your not a stubby wearing, beer chugging, rugby playing "blokey bloke". I drove through Auckland city last night on my way home from a booking, and the amount of drunk teenagers (and adults for that fact) was astonishing.. Our drinking culture really is among the highest.. we make the Irish look vanilla compared to us My background is very similar to yours and you have inspired me.. i feel like over the past few days something inside me just switched on.. and i now know where im going wrong.. by the way.. the worriors still suck! Thanks again Sam, I look forward to watching more of your videos and potentially meeting you one day when i break out of the New Zealand market! Cheers mate!
Hey Supun! How did you like time tracking? I was pretty shocked when I did it and realized that I have a lot of room for improvement. Also, if you plan on doing another time tracking session again soon, I actually built a website around Sam's time tracking sheet that automates the time tracking process to make it even easier. Here's the link: trytimetracking.com
Very useful. Sometimes I think that I need an app for something like this and I have tried to find a really good one and spending alot of time to do that. But just having a notepad on your desk and jotting down my where my time is going and filling in the excel sheet every week maybe a simple yet effective way to gamify my productivity. further with more data now, I can correlate it with my desires and make myself do the necessary tasks because I can say if i get if I hit this amount this week, I can get my desires. Thank you.
Hi Sam. One big learning just when I started time tracking: I even struggled on what subject to track. Because my mind was so distributed. Better: Just stop and actively decide *what* to to next, *and continuously* - just that alone helped me a lot.
Hey Patrick! When I did Sam's time tracking exercise the first time, I had way too many things to track just like you were mentioning. Over time, I've cut back on what to track like you and that has helped me out a ton! If you end up doing another time tracking exercise soon, please check out the website I'm building, trytimetracking.com. I've automated a lot of the time tracking process and I'm almost done building the app so it should be ready in the next week or so!
This is really helping me to improve my performance... drinking went out the door last week, (amongst other things) now focused on higher value activities. Bloody awesome Sam. from now on when i think of a task and think so? i now think S.O. Sam Ovens, what would he say to me right now....
Nice video. I like how you re-calibrate people's perception of value of time. Let people see and account for their actions as they happen. I love it. When writing ad copy or sales copy, what writing formula is most favored by you?
"Man without machine is a slave, and man with machine is a free man" -Henry Ford. AI will radically change the way we do business and live our lives, so that's a really interesting quote. Love it. This pricing grid is also so useful! Not only for business owners and consultants, but it should be applied to everyone. If only everyone thought about how important their time is in terms of yield and investment... Well done 👌
hi sam thanks for the tool and a really focusing vid. one comment though about the tool, the copy past on google docs over writes the time column. I copied to my computer and converted to Excel and the copy paste (special) works ok. thanks again and hope this helps. Hope to see you some time at Tai's cheers Nick
Hi Sam! First off your content is amazing. However following your content and your life is definitely not $0 an hour. I always learn so much, including my brother. I finally see money in my bank account.
Immense value Sam. However, is there a way to reduce the shakiness in your videos? You can try switching cameras (GoPro with stabilizer), or using a different editing software. Appreciate everything and all that you do!
Excellent video on time management. Can time management software be segemented to certain jobs , or fields? This seems like a subject that can get specialized or even monetized. Thanks Sam.
this is awesome information thank you!!!! - Sam Ovens - I am going to teach my kid this excellent tool - I really think that what teacher need to teach the children at school!!!!
Hi Sam, great video! You said you take Sunday off and you work 12 hours a day, 6 days a week. How do you spend your Sunday? What activity do you do? Also, what other ways do you use to relax apart from meditation?
Sam, it's fine.. you don't have to say you check comments personally. After watching a LOT! if not ALL of your weekly blogs i'm 100% sure you have someone who checks comments for you and maybe reply to some of them. because you're busy doing 100k per hour stuff as you said in this video, so its perfectly fine, you don't have to say that you check comments you don't have to, someone can just check them for you and maybe report to you the top ten relevant ones to your business or some future topics. Keep on making these weekly Blogs, they're now a part of my weekly schedule believe it or not. the longer you make them the happier you make me lmfao.. but yes i listen to them while editing my work. so i am not wasting time i am actually doing something for my business. Thanks for all ur hard work putting these slideshow videos together.
Hi, Sam, Thanks for this awesome video....please use Grammarly app it's available on Mac and on Phone it's spelling correcting and English grammar corrector app.
You are logical and methodical - it is EXACTLY what the world needs now. I have your course and it is the most amazing course on business I have ever seen. I took many Eben Pagan's courses and they are great, but your course blows them out of the water with combining philosophy (nonduality) with business and strategy. Awesome work.
Sam Ovens has changed my life!
Same here! And were only going to get better with time! Staying positive and working hard!
Same bro. I just started watching sam and my life is getting on track.

Thank you Sam this is a really helpful tool I can use. Successful ppl use their time differently than most for sure.
Great info, thanks for posting
Finally understood the concept of "we all have same amount of hours, but how do some get more done" - technical breakdown. Great job Sam!

This is huge value. Thanks for sharing this Sam. I'm excited to implement this!
Lets get it done Alex!
Just stopping by, I'll be back again watching this MONTHLY 🔥🔥🔥
Very useful, I'm impressed and I'm going to use it. Thankyou.

I’m doing a 7 day 80/20 analyst so see my productivity this week.. I will keep the group posted ⬆️
Awesome tool Sam !!
so stoked to have found this.
Over the past couple of weeks i have watched nearly all your videos, I've taken so much valuable information from this.
As a fellow Kiwi and Aucklander.. and Vodafone (digital mobile) employee, i can relate to you a lot!!!
especially with what you said about the whole "blokey" culture we have.. its hard to be accepted when your not a stubby wearing, beer chugging, rugby playing "blokey bloke".
I drove through Auckland city last night on my way home from a booking, and the amount of drunk teenagers (and adults for that fact) was astonishing.. Our drinking culture really is among the highest.. we make the Irish look vanilla compared to us
My background is very similar to yours and you have inspired me.. i feel like over the past few days something inside me just switched on.. and i now know where im going wrong..
by the way.. the worriors still suck!
Thanks again Sam, I look forward to watching more of your videos and potentially meeting you one day when i break out of the New Zealand market!
Cheers mate!
This Video Was Amazing Sam... Keep Posting Like These :)
Awesome dude!
close your eyes and open your passion!
So awesome!

I see this as an additional tool for tracking my time, I really appreciate Boniface introducing me to you.
Very good video! A lot of the time I lost my time because I was doing a lot of minimum wage tasks ....... That is so true!

Hi Sam! First off your content is amazing.
However following your content and your life is definitely not $0 an hour. I always learn so much, including my brother. I finally see money in my bank account.

You are what you spend your time on, you will achieve what the type of person you are becoming achieves.
Wow! You're speaking my language.
this is awesome information thank you!!!! - Sam Ovens - I am going to teach my kid this excellent tool - I really think that what teacher need to teach the children at school!!!!
Nice
Hi Sam, great video!
You said you take Sunday off and you work 12 hours a day, 6 days a week.
How do you spend your Sunday? What activity do you do?
Also, what other ways do you use to relax apart from meditation?
Thank God I found you
You are a god for me Sam 🙏 grateful to you.
Im a construction management graduate. For Social media marketing my niche will be tradesman. Looking forward to start the program next week
Love you Sam😭...

19:58 - this is key!
A really interesting approach. Thanks very much for sharing. I’m going to try this next week.
Let me know what you think here in the comments? I will be personally checking and replying to them. (not my team...)
I LOVE your content. just recently getting into your blogs, and I love the tools and schedules you use. Thanks for inspiration and motivation!

Man this was eye 👁 opening!!! Already taking notes and using this grid!
You should put a time period for answering, as people still think you will answer 9 months on.
Question: What wakeful hours do you track - substracting eating food + Bath etc + kids time
