Brilliant video. I am just emerging from being a sloth. I had depression for 25 years and I worked a lot on myself in the last 2 and a half years. I am at the point where I have desires and wishes, it's very new to me. I have to experiment a lot to find out who I am, what I like. I believe your channel will be a great help in building my life.
I know exactly how you feel because I am exiting depression too. I hope to completely get rid of it. On most days I am fine. That is a huge thing because I was diagnosed at the age of 16 and am now 32. I can finally see what it feels to be alive. I am grateful for the every moment of this. I hope the life returns to you and to continue going with you where you want to be going and not so fast ahead of you that you struggle to catch it up, all while going the wrong direction. I do have my dreams and aspirations, but after a long time I am finally able to do something about them. I accomplished so much in the last year and a half. I went from accomplishing nothing I was not forced into (except finishing college) to suddenly being one of those people who are getting a lot done. To me, my biggest change is the one very few people know about: I started writing a lot more. Before this, everything I managed to write down was also dark and gloomy. Now it is colorful. I hope the book I am writing now will be good enough for publishing. I also hope you will be able to discover your Muse. Enjoy living!
@@farahidayu8876 thank you. To be honest it is still an emotional roller coaster and with that my drive goes up and down, but I am getting there. The bad days are getting less and less.
Sobering to realise I’m probably a 1.5 on the scale but this was also really inspiring and clarifying to have it all laid out this way. I feel I innately knew some of what I needed to do to ‘move up the scale, as it were, but you’ve really helped to make it explicit.
Over the last 5 years I’ve saved three internet videos to my phone. A Jocko speech for long morning runs, Dreams by Fleetwood Mac while in cold water, and now your video. Thank you for this content. I’ll be reviewing this until I gain dominion over time management.
Was sick since Thursday last week, kinda stage 1. today felt little bit better for the first time and anxiety stroke right away. I looked at all the tasks I haven’t done and started panicking. But then I sat down, wrote all down, deleted a few which aren’t as important and structured the rest. Now I feel a lot better
i always go from level 4 back to level 1 probably because i don't fully get stable with level 3 and damn you always make things clear with so much sense
This video is fantastic, thank you, Alexis. I feel like there have been times I have been all along the line. I am a wife to four kids and working full time. It's full on. Systemizing things can be hard as you are trying to find something that works for you personally. it is a lot of trial and error. You have explained it so well
Thank you for this video. Really loved how you explained the various stages and why this is important - to make your life richer and make sure you focus on the things you want out of life - as opposed to toxic productivity.
To me, the most important part of the productivity is prioritisation. If you have good priorities, your life will slowly turn better and better until it is amazing. If you prioritise badly, you will be stressed out a lot, while having accomplished nothing or very little of what you value.
Loved this comparison on where people can be at. As a planner, I am on the higher end but have times when I dip lower on the scale due to personal or medical situations. Super powerful model and image! Thanks for sharing ❤
This video is pure gold. I responded to your survey a couple days ago and you addressed all my points and then some in this video. I love how you broke down the evolution from sloth to mastery… I’ll be buying your intentional planner to help me thru. Thank you very much Alexis!
Great video. I find myself oscillating between 2 and 3 after a long time of being in 1, there's still some remnants of 1 but there's definitely improvement. I'm slowly increasing the average percentage of my habits. But I keep getting overwhelmed by how many things I want to do how many books I want to read. I also find that one of my worst i guess "tendency" is that if I want to do something then I want to do it for hours and hours, and I think that's where I struggle the most. If I want to read a book, I want to keep reading for hours, if I want to game I want to game for hours, maybe this is why you end up becoming more apathetic because the limited time just doesn't feel like it's enough.
I think that the important thing is not to get yourself lost in the productivity trap where you are working too hard, while accomplishing a lot, but without having a direction. Things that are important to you end up not being done because you have so much other things on your plate. Prioritisation is the most important, but often overlooked part of the productivity.
Alexis- Thank you for a really great video. So many good tips condensed in short video. I’m stuck at level for stuck for several years without any hole in my overloaded busy life (at work, as a father, as a husband) so I can’t find more time to insert the 2nd quadrant (important no urgent) which is my passion hobby (composing music) Do you have more advice on how to move to level 5 on already fully busy life?
I can see how time management is objectively useful. However, do not feel interested in time mangement and even the word creates resistance in me (since I like freedom). So What would be a way to make yourself interested in such a thing?
I started viewing this as a quest log and life as like an RPG like WoW. Started making everything fit into that since I like games like that and it helped to get past the resistance if that helps!
@@jazmynyoungblood That's an interesting way to look at it! I can for sure imagine that helps if you like RPGs. However, in my case I doubt that would would help because I do not like RPGs because I do not like the idea of such pre established objectives. If I like games (generally they bore me) it's because I like the activity of doing them. For example, I like sometimes to play team fortress 2 (some team FPS). It's about the team winning or losing. However, I even do not care if i win or lose there, as it's the activity itself I like rather than the result. I'm very intrinsically motivated about everything. I'm endlessly patient and interested of there is genuine interest, but if there is no genuine interest it seems very hard to get me into something.
You don't have to be 'interested' in time management, just be interested in what you want to do so you will just do it. Most of the time people don't do the things they they think they 'should' do is because it's not something they want to do, it's something they think they should do, from being influenced by others. Like, if you really don't want to just don't do it. You don't need to learn a second language, you don't need to keep your house sparkling, you don't need to hustle, you don't need to become a go getter jet setter. Just do the basic so you can live.
You are incredible and impressive. Your talent for bringing together the bare time management tools to create a fulfilling life is outstanding. I love the way you translate highly complex things like a meaningful life into an actionable, calm, easy to understand and encouraging video. Inspiring! And thanks again for the reminder to create a stable life. That links the idea of having routines to the why!
Do you have any suggestions or strategies for when your amount of tasks HAS to exceed your capacity? Busy full time working mom of 3 active kids with a husband who works an inconsistent schedule. Almost all of my tasks are necessary. There’s not much I can say no too, but my capacity just isn’t there yet.
Im so grateful to found your channel. Its like your speaking about me in your videos. And this year Im compromised to get out of my confort zone and get my things done and your channel is pretty helpful.
Love these videos. Helps to get organized and focused. It be cool if you went into each section a little more like what’s would a stable life look like?
Hi Alexis, I have watched so many time management videos in my life but its ONLY yours that speak to me and explain it in easy matter. I finally feel confident that I can follow it through.Thank you❤
This video brought me to your channel and it's honestly brilliant! Thank you for taking the time time to break down and explain these steps. It's really helpful to know where I'm at and what the next steps are to improve. It would be really awesome if you made a video on how to add habits and routines into the the life funnel system when you're at Tier 1 or Tier 2. Thanks!
Alexis, for a long time i was struggling from time to time with everything. I kew i can do it a better and easier way but now i know it wasnt that time to do the whole planning. Im really grateful for your chart where you gave specifities to every single step. To several of the steps you have a detailled videos. Do you plan videos on the other to like the very first step slots? 🙏❤❤❤❤

This was such a great video! Haven’t seen time management broken down this way.
Hey Alexis! Thanks for this video. As someone with ADHD, your vids make it easier to plan well and best use my days. Keep it up!
This video is fantastic, thank you, Alexis. I feel like there have been times I have been all along the line. I am a wife to four kids and working full time. It's full on.

So happy I found your channel

Wow this is really good. Thank you very much for your clear explanation
Nobody explains it as clearly as you do. I’m at level 3 I think and this is exactly what happens and how we feel in the road to better productivity
I think I am on scale 3. Thank you so much for laying this out clearly. Now I can figure out the things to make my goals more closer to me
so happy to have subbed to the channel, your topics are really hitting home with me right now ❤
Just on the right time ! Thanks Kingsley

This is so helpful! I’ve loved every productivity video you’ve released, thank you for making these. Looking forward to more!
This is me level one trying to get over sickness. Haha have a good day 🎉
Amazing video!! I could see bits of myself in all the levels, but not the top passion project level. I hope to get there one day X
Thanks Alexis, been you look great today , just like the planner
This has been so helpful thank you

Awesome videos!!! It helped A LOT!
incredible
It would be really helpful to be able to print out the final of the example timeline you're doing during this video.

Do you have more advice on how to move to level 5 on already fully busy life?
You say so much vital info. I just wish you could talk slower so I can process one thing before another. So many gems… I hate to miss any of them.
really helpful video! did you see the start today journal is back?
YESSS!! i was so happy!!
@@AlexisKingsley me too! I’m getting one for me and another for a friend.
I watched the right video at the right time! I'm being a sloth at the moment 😮
You are so cool , thanks a lot
Great! but I don’t understand the 60% principle

I’m definitely #2 lol
You embody time management, you talk so fast!!! Too fast 😅😅
Thank you Alexis 🩷
I love that about the “silent to do list” so true! 😂 I’m a sloth 🦥 😔

Watching this at 0.75 speed made it understandable.

I would love to see how you set up your time blocking. If it’s just 60%, how do you decide what to leave off?
this person talks the most sense
nice tele, but can you shred?

idk why but i can barely hear your video
I was wondering if the music and speaking are perhaps too much at the same level.
Sorry that's happening for you. The audio is perfect for me. I wonder if it's anything in your settings?
Perfect for me
All your videos are so good Alexis! So much substance. Big fan here from Bangalore:)
thank you for this!! sloth right hete lol
💜💜💜
