Summary:

1. Start with Small, Achievable Tasks: Beginning the day with simple tasks, like making your bed, can set a positive tone and build momentum for tackling larger tasks throughout the day.
2. Strategic Task Management: Utilize the Eisenhower Matrix for prioritizing tasks by categorizing them into four quadrants: urgent/important, not urgent/important, urgent/not important, and not urgent/not important, thereby focusing energy on truly impactful activities.
3. Adopt a Zero-Complaint Commitment: Refrain from negative complaining and instead, choose to actively change, accept, or remove oneself from unfavorable situations, thus promoting a more positive mental state.
4. Incorporate Mindfulness Practices: Engage in daily meditation practices to enhance focus, decrease stress, and foster a calm approach to handling the day's challenges and tasks.
5. Prioritize Well-being: Ensure sufficient sleep and manage personal energy efficiently, recognizing that well-being is foundational to maintaining productivity and preventing burnout.

These videos are actually proving really helpful and informative for me. Before the pandemic hit. I’d applied to join the Royal Marines. I got extremely fit, passed my medical and psychometric test. And was about to take my fitness test when the pandemic hit and my application was terminated. Needless to say, I was devastated. Months of intense training and preparation, all for naught. And I started to let myself go. Now I want to rekindle that flame, find my drive and motivation to train hard and reapply. And hopefully these videos will point me in the right direction and give me the drive, focus and mindset to achieve my goal. Thanks Izzy.

Implementing a lot of these habits has been very transformative for my life!🌟
Thank you so much Izzy for laying these out for us in such a concise and informative way, it really puts things in perspective.
The two main things that have really benefited me have been meditation/practising mindfulness and sleep.
Meditation 🧘 has brought a calm and poise to my every day life and it has made me really enjoy being in the present moment. The gratitude I now feel for the little things in life has been magical.
AND SLEEP, has given me more clarity and focus. I notice that when I get 8 hours, my thinking is enhanced and my overall mood is better. It’s like having a secret weapon for my brain. ✨

As someone with severe anxiety and avoidance issues, these tips will help a ton. Thank you

Wow ! Dr. Izzy gives us a sure-fire formula that is indeed useful to improve our way of life; Day in, day out. I got a copy of the book "The power of Now". People sometimes cannot enjoy their moments anymore because life is hectic, always in a rush. I believe it needs practice and discipline to do all the points mentioned. Doctors are busy all the time. I assume she utilized these tools for her own benefit to cope up with stress, anxiety, etc. and now she shares it with us. Thanks for the tips. Makes a lot of sense.

OUR DOCTOR IS BACKKK. Anyways, I just wanna say thank you so much for all the vids you have put out, it has helped me much. I am overall a pretty lazy person, but I feel like I could do more stuff after listening to all your tips especially the "start for 5-10 minutes first". Idk how you manage being a doctor and making these vids. Keep up the good work!!!!

Love these videos. Keep it up. Adequate Sleeping is definitely on the list I want to prioritize on

Hi Dr. Sealey, i've found your videos to be extremely helpful in coping with the struggles of everyday life. I was and still am a patient of depression and sought help of every kind including meditation. It has helped me tremendously both in mind and body. Your advices really worked for me such as drinking water. Thank you so much for making positive and uplifting videos . It raises both our spirits during hard times. Thanks again 👍👍

Super super helpful content, especially the points about Steven Covey's Quadrant II, sleep, and meditation

I'd add exercise and positive, supportive, constructive socialization to the list

Thanks Izzy! I have been struggling with burnout and these tips really helped! Also, would you consider making a video on gaining self confidence and you know sort of restoring one's self esteem. I am currently struggling with a lot of self esteem issues and its been really difficult for me to carry on lately. Would really appreciate if you could touch in this topic too.
Great fan and wishing you the best ✨

Thank you for sharing, I am a future dermatologist and I really tried lots of productivity techniques during med school but there is always something to learn when we speak about productivity and time management.

[notiamceleste]

Hi Dr.Izzy! Long time no see! Missed u SOOOO much!! The video's absolutely AMAZING as ALWAYS! The reason why I don't comment much is because, you leave me SPEECHLESS!!
Love you!❤

Your tips are very helpful for us, l've noted every single tips of you, the 1st tip of making the bed, folding the blanket, it seems like unimportant for people think but it's actually mind tricky and accomplish our tasks at the beginning of the day, so mind can think that 'I can do it', the 2nd tip, note down urgent and important things to four categories is also effective, so we don't have dilemma and can do the things clearly without delaying, the third tip is l like most, negative complaining, l agree this, if we've more excuses and every time complaining can lead to negative thoughts, even if worse, l think it can turn us to depression, self-doubt and causing lack of confidence, meditation and get enough sleep are also very important for us to refresh our mind and soul, thank you Dr Izzy, please share more for us, thank u❤❤❤

Thank you for gathering all information on the YouTube. You are the best

Hi Izzy. Thank you for sharing about boosting productivity. Love you ❤

Hi Dr. Izzy, how I wish I heard that 3rd habit earlier in my first college year. I was forced to enroll in Electrical Engineering by my parents, and I seriously hated math and physics. So my first two years were horrible, all I did was complain about my professors and my college. It really made my mental state become very bad, I could even say I got depressed. But I’ve started to accept it and embrace it now... because I have no other choice. So I highly agree with that point..

Thank you for your helpful videos once again.

Maybe it's just my current mindset but I can't say I found much info here on how not to burn out. This sounds like so much extra stuff to try to fit into the day to be productive that after a while of trying to do all of this all the time it will definitely lead to burn out.
