"If you read five books at once, can you really retain any knowledge?"
Too bad my college and high school teachers don't believe that.

[nihilisticpancakeface]

you think a day is too short? try staring at a clock for half an hour

[ConnerSully]

This was more informative than 4 years of college

[standerd]

what about the people who sit around and watch YouTube all day lol

[theodopoulos]

1000 situps won't give you a sixpack. that would be busy work. productive would be learning about nutrition and reducing calorie intake and healthy diet exercise to achieve goals. lol.

i've noticed many of these science channels with sped-up drawing popping up after the succes of asap science

[indiezee]

This makes sense, I see now I'm often busy but not productive. I've been saying no more often to requests and I'm starting to see the benefits of having more time to work on the things that matter to me. My health and sleep is definitely better for it. It's a work in progress 😊

90% of people watching this video aren't productive or busy

[Ahbeoji]

He who runs after two hares will catch neither

The really hard ones make me want to procrastinate sometimes.

The trouble with these 'We can make your life better' videos is that after five minutes, the magic wears off. It's like most of those TED talks. You will find that you can't learn Japanese in three months just by viewing a twenty minute video. It's fake. However, concentrating on a priority is good, so take that message.

yay i'm productive, time to watch another 3 hours of youtube...

[jaytea]

Very true! Another way to say this is that successful people are typically laser focused on one thing. They don't let anything distract them if it's not part of their goal. Something I struggle with constantly.

[SaraMakesArt]

I think it's pretty hard to be productive without also being busy, but it's pretty easy to be busy without also being productive.

saying yes to every task.. starting every side quest in an rpg

STOP READING THE COMMENTS AND GET BACK TO WORK!!!

[shanemahabirsingh]

One of my deciding factors for prioritization of a to-do list is the prioritization of short term high priority goals.

[syedmuaz]

In a nutshell:
Just do the important things and avoid useless work.

[wahabafridi]

My laziness has never been so brilliantly glorified before. Thank you. I can now proudly tell people that I'm productive, thats why I'm not busy.

[TheSaristudios]

This was great for procrastinating people like myself. I'm always busy and have no time. This just helped me figure out why. So thank you. :)
