For those in a hurry, here are the 5:
1. Less but better.
2. What are your BIG 3? - Simplify your life down to 3 essentials.
3. Get only what you NEED. the 90-10.
4. Say NO, unless it's the best use of your time.
5. Live your life by design, not by default.
This reminded me of Deep Work by Cal Newport. Good stuff.

Creating a lifestyle business. I started a year ago and now I have about 80% control of my time but only earning 50% of what I would like to earn. Give it another 6 months and I believe I would reach my income goal.

Hi, Thank you so much. That's a productive video. Giving us MORE in LESS time.
I like all the 5 points. But again, I will prioritise the ONE point to remember easily all the time - the ONE points which can make 80% of the impact in my life, for now.

Priorities in life
I have read somewhere that only 10 % tasks in our daily life are of 90% Value, while the
rest of the 90% tasks are only of 10 % value (value in financial grounds, social grounds,
emotional grounds....)

The mere idea that 'I have to do ONLY the top three priorities... the Top 10 % of tasks' is relieving 90% of the stress.

Thanks for such a great video and I wish you too a Productive day.

What I found to be most valuable was the section on saying no to more opportunities throughout life. Good video.

[RunForMillionaire]

I like the idea of spending 95% of my time on my own personal 'Big Three'. Thanks for the idea!'

Brandon -- very insightful video brother! And congrats on 70k subs you deserve it!

Less but better..only buy what you need. Great vid..thank you

[naveenk]

best thing I learned from this vedio is - live life by design and not by default

[FreddieTheFoxx]

live life by design and not by default. this really resonated with me. I've decided I need to break free from society's expectations and in doing so desert the rest of the sheep for the pursuit of freedom.

[keikei]

Say yes only to the 90% above options, recently I just got so insecured and having a feeling to rush into stuffs. This piece of advice just came in the right time :)

[KimberlyPatrickchloeandisabel]

Live life by design, not by default. <-- this is golden. Thanks! ♡

[rahul]

I like the 1st one "less is better" that seems most useful to me because for whole my life I was running for big things but couldn't complete a single one.

[TheVraagaard]

Great short and sweet summary of your 5 take-aways: The 90-10 rule will definitely be of value to me, when rating things I want to do, buy or other. Great concept to avoid getting distracted by things that score between 1 and 90.

[Claireblue]

Why am I saying yes? How does it benefit me in terms of my top 3 priorities? Great vid, thank you!

[tomhunt]

What a great video and collab, nice to see people benefiting eachother, for someone to win doesn't mean for someone else to lose! I love the lessons in this, not just about entrepreneurship but the daily life we all live, and tools needed to do that. I used to aimlessly just go about life meandering and living by default and since waking up and understanding and learning, you realise you don't have to do that, you become more in control when you understand and get knowledge from books and channels and people like this. Thanks guys.

For inspiration, read the first part (economy) of "Walden" by Thoreau. It is a short section and doesn't take much time.

[domzreambonanza]

To live by design, not by default. Thank you!

[tiffanyd.]

Great video. Question. How does Essentialism compare/contrast to Minimalism?

[MirzaBorogovac]

Most valuable lesson is the quote "Live by design, not by default"
