Time management gave rise during the industrial revolution because factory owners wanted workers to live by the clock rather than the sun. And while a lot has changed since those days, much of the advice we receive on time management today stems from those outdated ideas. Instead of trying to manage your time... do this instead.

Hey man, nice to see you here! I love the weekly linux news!
@@Steerable6827 oh hey! Thanks a lot! I'm glad you enjoy the show! 😎👍
Thanks to you, I’ve managed my time well while watching this video.
Wasn't expecting a KDE Plasma enjoyer on this channel
my to do lists are so flexible tasks roll over to the next day again and again 😂
I found that during the pandemic lockdown I somehow got way more ‘productive’ and ‘better at managing my time’ but in reality I just didn’t have to deal with all the other things (like Matt dealing with his dog hehe). The energy levels were so much higher for me and then school came back and began commuting and socializing and energy levels 📉 so it seemed like I was just being lazy but in reality I was just tired. Mornings are my productive time with optimal energy so love to get up early to get some stuff done before school :)
I feel you.
I find that I work better, if I have the tv off, the other day I turned it off and got more jobs done.. Got a long list of jobs,on my Hinch book.
very great self-awareness!
This pandemic has been a curse for many people but for me it has been a lot of 💡 moments. Like the one you shared!!
Watch this: th-cam.com/video/JXmGivEASqY/w-d-xo.html
“If you’re currently working a job that doesn’t value rest and downtime, if you don’t get enough time off, you don’t have a flexible schedule, or you can’t work from (at) home, it might be time to start looking for a new job. There’s only so much you can do if your boss expects you to be up at all hours of the night…”
Matt D’Avella advising me to quit my gig as a stay-at-home dad. 🤣
Lol
Stay at home mom here. 🤣
Not everyone can work from home though, that is not how the world works or will ever work.
@@judith5851 that's how the world worked for thousands and thousands of years. We screwed that up and are now paying the price.
@@judith5851 so you're the authority on how the world and its people work? Wtf.
My mom started homeschooling with my older brother over 30 years ago, back when it really rare and "not cool". One of the reasons she did it was because she thought the school system was broken and outdated. She said more then once, "Making children sit for 8 hours in a day was to prepare them for the factories. Those days are over and kids shouldn't be cogs in a machine, it's not right." She understood energy levels and what's realistic long before so many and I thank her for it.
Mind sharing your time-management routine? How do you accomplish
your mother is on another level🧠

Excellent video Matt!
Our phones are a big part of this problem.
My husband has chronic pain and we use the analogy of spoons. You only have a certain amount of spoons in the drawer for your day. Getting dressed and breakfast takes a spoon, running errands takes two, etc. He tells me he’s running out of spoons instead of having to tell me he’s sore and tired. He needs to be careful how he uses them so he doesn’t suffer through the end part of the day and even into the next. Thank you for showing us a different side of productivity rather than the hustler way👍
Hell yeah, energy management is so underrated, and should arguably take priority over time management
Agree. When I have a task scheduled and it starts becoming more than just hard work, it's taking too long, it's just not "happening" the problem isn't the task difficulty -it is my mindset and energy at that specific time. I used to try and power through, but now when I recognize it's getting unproductive vs time I switch that task out for another. I find another time of day or next day I get that same task done in 5mins piece of cake! It's almost like I need a key to unlock that task, but I just don't have it on me at the time.
The irony of uploading a video on time management after 6 weeks gap instead of usual 2 weeks shall not go unnoticed.
What a perspective shift and game changer this really is as yeah, we’re familiar with time management but I’ve never heard anybody suggest energy management in a day to day task environment!
Thank you so much Matt!
Fantastic to hear points such as if we went down a rabbit hole with unforeseen technical issues etc that we shouldn’t let it effect our self worth and our well being!
As those are the worst days for me, applying myself with no pay off but time wastage but now you’ve given me the tools to pull myself out of that rabbit hole and say those carrots are no longer sold here!
Powerful info indeed! I’ve transcribed so much to implement moving forwards… You rock Matty and I appreciate all that you do! Have a wonderful day!👌👍🙂🙏
I don't know who Needs to Hear This but " Greatness is often built when no one is watching ". So don't give up and keep going
For me the most difficult thing was understanding that a shitty day doesn't make me a failure.
This was a lowkey cameo moment for the cute doggo.~
That printer rant at the end >>>>>>>
Remember to be nice to yourself, be your own personal cheerleader cause you aren’t always going to be on the ball. Great video!
I think a book you would reallly enjoy is: The ruthless elimination of hurry. It’s crazy enlightening about the busy lives we live - always living in distraction, and distraction from the distraction
Rest is productive... and more importantly, it doesn't need to be earned. ✨ Thanks for another awesome video, Matt, this one is really useful!
best Squarespace ad ever 😊😆😄😂😉
I love it when matt calls me out on my flaws with each and every video he uploads
The honest mirror we need, not the one we deserve.

Anna is a beautiful girl.
He's the person I love, he's my light
day. The way the music flows and sounds
is extravagant and fun. Anna is
icon, legend, beautiful girl, princess, inspiration,
a star. I could go on and on, understand this.
I love NBA Anna.#垃圾
I recommend stopping at 3:55 and just reading what's written on the website there. Love this attention to detail :)
HOW CUTE THIS DOG IS
I never and would have never thought of this I do so much in a day but I am most energetic at night I get so much done. Thanks so much Matt
R3ally needed to hear this. Making coffee and breakfast can move as a break couple of hours later as a break and reward
Matt is here again to make our lives better.
Wow, how important is this video! No one ever talks about energy management and I think everything in the video was on point. We appreciate all your work and content Matt, thank you.
“I’m a business man” 🤣🤣🤣 Excellent video Matt, very helpful. Thanks!
Damn Brian... we're never getting that work back.
Been there!! Great way to look at it.
The very fact that you have the time and creativity to implement a website for sponsor-reasons tells, that you know what you're talking about :D
Why did not I see this sooner????????? I am always questioning myself regarding time management. I believe I have the best "plan" for myself when it comes to time, BUT I CANT JUST FOLLOW HOW I PLANNED AND THIS VIDEO IS THE ANSWER!!!!!!
THANKS A LOT. YOU EARNED ANOTHER SUBSCRIBER!
Bro your video quality is better than Netflix shows
pupper is so cute. huggo and kisses to that good baby doggo
the Matt D'Avella cult, is deffinetly something I'm joining!
I felt like I was falling behind at work, so I started working nights to increase my capacity and stay afloat. But all that happened was I got given more work! How do I become more productive and then STAY productive? It feels like the reward for productivity is more work.
People that say they don't have time to cook, yet spend 30 mins or more sat on their phones scrolling through useless social media while on the toilet
when TH-cam suggest you a recommendation you can not refuse
Thank you for validating my naps.
YOUR NET WORK IS YOUR NET WORTH!
"Tomorrow will be different". That hit hard and also I burst into laughter.😏😂🤣
amazing video production, that music detail at the end doesn't go unnoticed
This is the realest time management video I’ve ever come across..you just got a new subscriber
Matt be here spitting gems. Matt is on a whole new level!
Going to start a healthy productive journal!
I am watching this while getting ready
summary
4:30 - find your peak performance periods (pick a time in a day where you are the most focused).
5:50 - Find out how much energy a task would require (list high energy tasks and low energy tasks, it doesn't mean a high energy task is the most important one)
7:18 - refill your cup regularly (rest = productive, find out what replenishes your energy - ex walking, meditating, exercises)
8:57 - make flexible to-do lists (decreaes dissapointment)
I've learned my energy limits a long time ago and have adopted different schedules for different types of days. When I'm having a "green light" day I'm super productive and I will try to get 8-10 things done. This doesn't happen offten 😂. On "yellow light" days its more like 5 things. And on "red light" days my goal is to get three important things done. And by important I mean take a bath, do homework, and do something for my mental health because I know on red light days the chances of me getting anything big done is unlikely.
There is a book called “at your best” written by Carey Nieuwhof that explains this concept in detail, definitely worth it
I'm not sure why I'm bad at managing my time, but I'll figure that out after I watch this video.
Energy is an important factor in my daily life.
I have chronic fatigue syndrome- my life has to be planned around my energy level. Good content.

Awesome! I have been figuring this out on my own and it’s great to hear other people are too :)
Yes Matt. Tell me everything I'm doing wrong
My breaks watching your videos are productive
I love this warm color grading. Nice job
No no I have time. I don’t have kids or a significant other but I simply just don’t want too. It bugs me how distracted I am.
Thanks for posting this on my Birthday! Turned 22, lets get some action going, my life currently is quite boring..
I know what things aren't worth spending time on. I'm amazing at it.
I love how some people watch this an apply the strategies, and some just watch because they like the overall vibes. 😆👍🏻
Taking a scheduled nap everyday works for me. Napping helps to replenish my batteries.
I can't imagine how the first hours of the morning can be the most productive
This video has arrived in time
Trust me I learned so much about Video editing. dope :))
Great video! Thanks for this! It was relatable and insightful and helpful. You really have your finger on the pulse of the "people-struggling-with-time-management-and-who-watch-youtube" culture.
I put all my to do items on High vision post it notes on a cork board that huge over my work station
Because I can see it from most places in my apartment I tend to not forget.
New font style is great 👌
thanks for the video man ❤❤
I needed this. I have been constantly blaming myself for not completing all the tasks from my to do lists which obviously impacted my self-esteem. I feel so much relief after watching this video. Thank you 🙌
king story teller, you're an architect !
Watching Matt's videos on lower quality is insult of TH-cam!!
Thank you and thank you, oh wise one!
This is the exact video I needed at this moment. I don’t need time management - I need energy management. I have plenty of time but pitiful little energy.
Because i'm watching videos like these to about time management without taking action 🎬
I love the details in your videos, Matt. Even the ads are funny and worth watching ahahhahaa
Great info, 4:02 group coaching session crack me up😂!
It was something great to watch. Thanks, I didnt think about the energy at all. I think I'm energized in the morning and night. But not in the middle of the day thanks for making me realize that.!!
Watching/listening to your videos just soothes me…thank you 😊
Energy management, instead of time management. Simple yet brilliant.
I always love your square space ads 😂
a video on how your devices help you with your workflow and productivity would be very interesting - considering you have quite a few that do different tasks
We need this same video but for parents
Solid one and the one I needed to listen to and ponder... Thanks Matt!
omg that is the cutest dog i've ever seen
Exactly what I wanted to watch right now!
Just what I need to see today . Thank you so much 💛
In my opinion this is your best video yet. Thank you for the wisdom 🙏
Love that you made it a point to mention it's not the same 24 hours. As someone with chronic pain I used to get so much guilt and shame about "_____ has 24 hours just like you"... But you're so right a lot of the rich and famous don't have the monotony of life to deal with. A lot of them also don't have chronic pain which I have to really work on remembering. I do sometimes. Like since I work from home 2.5/4.5 of my days I have started realizing that things like email don't really need to be answered from a desk. I can do it from the couch just as easily. Nobody is even gonna know if I don't tell them.
I see you with that Spoon Theory time management
Not gonna lie, this video was an eye-opener for me because I tend to be really fixed up on how I can manage my time in the best, productive way possible. The way Matt explained about the energy levels makes total sense, and I am really glad he emphasized rest being an important thing because for years now, I've neglected making that part of my everyday life. I will definitely try putting these tips to use daily and hope for the best on finding true rest again. Thank you for a great video as always, Matt!
Same. I always get super hung-up on time management and then beat myself up for not doing enough in a day, but this really clears things up for me
@@audreyguo13 I know right? I do the same thing as well sadly, but all we can do is take each day as its own and make each one a total restart when it comes to time-management and rest. I hope this goes better for you though and have a good rest of your day/night! :)
*Anyone noticed Matt flexing his biceps while talking ?*
You spoke about Time Management & Energy Management, but not spoke about Attention Management - but its very important.
I said i want to lay down a bit before preparing the bags for my upcoming flight and guess what do I get:
this is exactly what i needed to hear right now
Love the tape on your phone
I also suddenly became a morning person :) I used to be up till 1am often but now I wake at 5:30am and feel waaaaaay better mentally, higher energy and more productive when I work in those early hours
Just thank you!
The first 2 min of this video is literally me. 🙆🏾♀️. The rest of the video is what I needed to hear. 🧘🏾♀️🖤
the timing of this video is impeccable
WOOOOW AMAZING ! It's sooo different from everything I've heard before, thanks dude!
