Death By 1,000 Cuts: How You Waste Time

[jay]

Whos here after watching Alex Becker's video?

[matthewkivnani]

I have watched this video over 50 times in the last 3 years. Life changing content.

I'm a victim of this and it's all true. A proverb summarizes this perfectly: "If you take care of your pennies, the pounds will take care of themselves". I made another version of it myself: If you take care of your minutes, the hours will take care of themselves. Watch where your minutes go.

Alex Becker recommended your channel and I like it!

A little thing I do to save some time is watch all videos at 1.25 speed, sometimes 1.5 if I'm feeling frothy.

I just moved from pa to Cali and I know what you mean. It’s like 3 weeks of not having your tools and your workplace setup (in my case, a music studio). And all the stuff we have. Like cars lol.

Best of luck in your move. The treadmill desk added so much productivity to my life

So much value added Sam. A lot of people definitely do not understand the importance and value of time, until their whole life has passed and they spent 3 years of their life, cooking or something!

Check out the video and let me know what you think here in the comments? I will be reading/replying to them personally. (not my team...).

The most basic rules are so difficult to see. Most people like me are blind for the things that are right in front of them. Thank you for making me see!

Super ironic that I'm watching this video... while procrastinating lol

Productivity hack - 2x speed of this video

Not that anybody needs to give you any advice because your the man! So with much respect. Try intermittent fasting eating only once or two times per day. If done correctly its healthier and you have more energy throughout the day. It’s been an amazing transformation for myself going on two years. It’s actually very sustainable and I spend less on food. I really only think about eating one time a day at dinner. Great new place Sam and this is the best advice because it’s so little nobody notices what it does to them.

Thanks for keeping your old videos up Sam, every couple years i find myself doing another deep dive into your methods!

[Tontataki]

This advice is really for advanced productive people, not for begginers. If you are new to full day productivity, take it step by step... don't force it!

[editor_seddik]

i wish i stumbled across your content 5 years ago, your writing and type of speech is the best of all time 🔥🔥

I agree with this video 100%. For a period of time I was a digital nomad and found my productivity levels to be abysmal. Needing to regularly find new accomodation, ID good places to eat, find good places to work etc was killing my life. I felt like a basic human needing to re-invent the wheel every few months. Right now what's working really well for me is intermittent fasting (one less meal to think about) and having two really simple meals each day which take about 5 mins to prepare and food which is tasty and hits my macronutrients. I love the idea of doing the '100 units of time' activity once a month to get regular insight into how I'm using my time. Great video Sam.

I'm an entrepreneur my self and you hit it real hard at the end when you talk about having no constraints and too much "free" time. I definitely need to work on this! Great video and content man 👍

Same when I moved to Miami last year. I thought I could be thrown in any environment and own it just as much, only to realize a big part of my success was du to the environment I previously took years to set up. Gold advice here man.

[maryschumacher]

Alex Becker sent me. Such valuable information, Mr. Ovens. I went into a bit of a frenzy, pausing your video here and there and going through my kitchen, bathroom, linen closet, 'fridge and so on and purging items that take up my time and provide me with no real value. Food has been a tough thing for me to systemize; although I am not quite to the place of hiring my own chef, I do plan to have groceries delivered and things like toilet paper automatically delivered on a schedule, saving me time and enhancing my productivity. Thanks so much for sharing your insights.

Truly appreciate this video. Insanely powerful to realize that every big goal and every failure is made up of either the little things you did well or the little things did did wrong and repeadted over and over again. Thanks brother. This is perfect for going into and dominating this new year
