1. They start the day right.
2. They control time.
3. They build in buffer time.
4. They deal with procrastination.
5. They get stuff off their plate.
6. They work less to achieve more.

It feels like many of the habits here deal with how to use your time much more than how to actually go about and do things. This goes to show how important and valuable time is!

[DevScript]

I'm a big believer that the way you start your day, is how you finish it. If you want to be productive the whole day, do productive stuff in the morning.

[KeefeCarpenter]

Batching work and morning routines have been my two biggest productivity hacks. Thanks for the advice! I talk about a lot of this stuff on my channel too

[dannyboycinco]

So true. I used to batch entire days to try and write music, but I never got anything done, I felt uninspired and my anxiety would creep in and overwhelm me. I started to do a daily 2hr mandatory music making time in the morning and no more, and now my creativity has skyrocketed and I'm always surprised at what I come up with in that short amount of time. It also gets me excited for the next day to do it all over again because I only have 2 hrs to do it!

Mindless breaks are very important... Even enjoying your favorite comedy show could work....

[MrRockerEdu]

I have been following your videos for over a year now, thank you for all your work pls don't stop doing it !

[suzyanscombe]

I've never heard of putting the time on each task or making a not to do list. Thank you so much! Love this channel ❤️

[williamstanley]

I build in buffer time between every task I do. And, I do "nothing" proactively during those "margins" -- or, as I call them, layers of Bubble Wrap! (I mean, who doesn't love bubble wrap, right?)

The purpose of the buffers are to close up one thing, and give yourself the time to get your mind into the proper place for the next thing. Using them to accomplish anything else destroys them. If you do a task during a buffer, you turn that time from buffer to another task, with no buffer before or after.

If I have a bid appointment to give a yardwork quote at 10am, I will leave my house at 9am, giving myself time to get stuck in traffic, or be detoured by an accident. I can get to almost any bid in 15 minutes, but that gives me time to, in a relaxed manner, drive around the neighborhood to get an idea of its economic potential.

Then, I will find a place to park and wait. I look around at the sky, the trees, I listen to the sounds of nature. I just maintain a very calm, very focused perspective on the task ahead. This is the purpose of the Bubble Wrap.

My theories allow me to build a business in a relaxed atmosphere without any risk at all.
Risk Free
Stress Free
Business!

It’s Jeffrey. I call the morning hours, my golden hours. I’ve done this my whole life. I started as a sales guy and climbed to CEO with these strategies. We are now helping others to live their best lives! Live were others

Why is sleeping in considered lazy but going to bed early not? What if I go to bed at 2am but I am highly productive between the hours of 8PM and 1AM?

It took me 20 minutes to watch this video.

[levyschultz]

Love this channel. I'm a visual learner, I like to read, and see infographics. It helps connect the dots for me. Your UK accent just makes everything more precise, knowledgeable, and entertaining. Keep up the great work and illustrations.

[GMack]

A “Not To Do List” is a innovative concept to combat procrastination . Thanks .

[hklinker]

All these things work! For me, the most important ones are around getting off to a good start in the morning (often with exercise). Right now my smartphone is the (self made) obstacle.

[victoriabarclay]

One of my tasks has been to put this channel as a weekly "to-do" for motivation & positivity in tough times. (I'm a business owner whose industry has tanked for now). I was happy to see I do some of these things, but have epic fail in others- so it helps to have your road map. During the pandemic, I've needed more "escape" time than usual, but I know I can pare that back. I started timing my tasks without even knowing that's a thing! Love this episode, really helpful.

[TravelWithMe]

thank you for this video that will really help me to become productive

[saintarj]

I'm going to try and follow some successful persons routine for a week and see what I should keep and what I should replace

[DXIII_]

This video was exactly what I needed to be successful.

Buffer Zones: I use what I have labeled Do Nothing Theory. I purpose to do nothing between everything I do, all day long. These gaps are my Bubble Wrap! It provides all the cushion I need!
