@@mattdavella That's a pretty smart comment
A checklist let’s your subconscious forget about your tasks and frees mental RAM
I really like that analogy!

So basically so sum it all up....make a checklist
Dont you need examples / explanations?
ur right
As a 17 year old with severe anxiety, I make checklists for EVERYTHING. For what I want to accomplish in a day and how to, what I want to accomplish in 5 years and how to. It is an absolute game changer that gives that control and a plan and I absolutely love it
hey eliza , how you doin now ? what's the difference in your life after 1 year now? :)
“He sounds smart when he talks”
Because he’s bRiTiSh
That's because he has a "Checklist" for that....
the accent
The incredible power of checklists is that once you have understood how to divide a process into small and easy to perform tasks (like packing your things for a trip), you can implement it correctly and get it right every time.
This divide and conquer (and save the steps) method allows you to take on bigger projects and accumulate the mastery of more and more processes with time.
C.,S,man!??
👌🏄🏄
It's like in Project Management called Work Breakdown structure
Ludovic Paul: self-help & more This along with bullet journaling can improve and organize someone’s life like ten-fold. Bullet journaling is basically checklists too, except on a daily, weekly, monthly and even yearly basis.

I'm a Brit and smart, but then been using checklists in earnest since about 1983, saved my bacon a few times too.
Trust me I'm a Brit... ; ))))))
In 2010- People used to read self help books to get " motivated".
In 2020- Same people are watching TH-cam channels.
So true
Too true
I've always made "to do lists" not "checklists". I realise now there's a subtle difference. It's not about what you have to get done, it's about establishing a process (or a system) to help you get things done (those things you need to do regualrly) more efficiently. I like the idea of reflecting on your current process too and refining it. Thank you for this - I'm really hoping it'll help me.
Rebecca H I had the same realization from this video! I have NEVER been able to stick to a schedule or to-do list. Checklist feels... different. Establishing a process, with reflection, growth, room for improvement as well as failure, plus accountability, feels much more forgiving and sustainable.
So true!
i dont understand the difference :/ can someone explain it to me?
I’ve also seen people dub it a “I get to” list, not “to do” list, which I’ve started to use. It’s just a little mental trick to feel more positive about working and being grateful for all the things you do get to do, instead of dreading it
I've also heard of the enlightenment behind "focusing on" instead of "focus on" when journaling because it's a helpful perspective shift in that the progress towards that version of "you" matters more than the end goal or item that must be done today.
As a project manager I use checklists for everything in my personal life as well. I’m the most organized person and it helps me free up my brain for fun stuff. I highly recommend checklists for everything.
Do you write checklists on paper or do you make checklists in an app or something?
F R A N K both actually. I have a couple of lists on paper but most are in the notes app on my phone. For whatever reason I keep a daily to do list on paper and my master to do list on paper but all of my detailed lists are in the app.
Interesting! Could you give me some examples from your personal life where a checklist is very useful?
@@Buddhababe2 Which app?
Adrian I have a master to do list with appts to make, documents to send, general commitments etc. I also have a daily task list that I create every night before bed. On my app I have a master packing list, a list of who pays for breakfast next, a list of gym exercises (so I don’t forget any of my weights), a list of call backs, a list of what I need to do on my new house, important dates, places to vacation, my Netflix shows and the dates of the next season, and a few others.
Checklist for checklists:
* Observe your process
* Repeat your process
* Refine your process
* Teach your process to others
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
yep thats legit
Checklists also help when you're faced with a long list of things you need to work on, and it's distracting how long the list is. If you write down say just the things you want to get done that day, you can ignore the rest of it and focus on them. Then the following day, add more for that day.

For anyone who thinks knowing the topic of this video is equivalent to watching it, you are missing the point already.
it’s honestly kinda sad if you can’t sit through an 8 minute video to get some helpful information
Checklist is underrated. This is an effective way of executing a task of consistent quality.
We learned to read and write as children and yet- it’s so rare to see someone taking advantage of these abilities.
Tip: If you want to be happier, healthier and have more energy in life. Take action and define what motivates you to change and look at them every day.
But, isn't trying daily hard?
*While we wait for life to happen, life passes by.*
I’m always suspicious when people claim to have impeccable memory and therefore not have to write things down. Without checklists and all kinds of notes I would never have survived grad school. When you stop trusting your brain to store information and get it organized on paper you are capable of so much more
I love how you've motivated me not to trust my brain
Even if they have a great memory and memorize most things. Putting things down saves you brain power that you can use on other things than memorizing.
Essentialism is life changing. Read it for the first time at the beginning of this year and really helped put things into perspective. Highly suggest you take a weekend and dig into it.

I was an operating room nurse when some of these lists were implemented. Man! There was pushback, but honestly l always saw the value. Unlike most lists, the GROUP pauses to get all the next actions in harmony. Some surgeons still gloss over them, they are BULLIES, in my professional opinion.
Here's an interesting thought: Consider fighter pilots and surgeons. They both are a handpicked group of elite personnel doing a job few will ever do. They both spend years of schooling and training to get to where they are. They both are entrusted with incredibly expensive equipment, need other teams of highly trained professionals to support them, both hold the power of life and death in their hands, and finally they both think they are god's gift to the universe.
Now all that being said there is a major difference. A fighter pilot won't touch a damn thing on her aircraft without a checklist. What makes a surgeon so special to think that he doesn't need one?
Food for thought 😊
I have been a list maker since I was a teen. I always have lists. I love checking the boxes when complete!

And you didn't; lol. People fail not because they don't make checklists, but because they fail to follow up with their checklists. Try next time! All productivity advises are crap.
😄 Love it
I used checklists for everything. I plan my day the day before so I don't miss anything. It surprises me how many people go grocery shopping without a list.
I love making to do lists. It’s so satisfying to check (or cross) things off when you are done. And it helps me keep track of how productive I’ve been.
At the beginning of the year I've been using checklists religiously and honestly my productivity and confidence in finishing my goals has increased by what feels like 200%. I used to have this thing where I couldn't get started on my work because I feared how big and daunting the task was going to be, but writing down a checklist was like turning on this productivity switch in my brain and it's been such a help since.
We love Natalie. Every video needs as a hilarious, sarcastic Australian.
I don’t say “hell yes” enough. I do a lot of things just because of the pressure I feel around me... something I need to change, checklists seem like a good step to learning what feels right everyday
I think we are so many of us feeling this
Antonio Gonzalez yeah it’s strange. It makes total sense to only do things that feel like the right choice yet it’s hard to follow through. I personally allow myself to come up with excuses why I say yes to things that don’t excite me.
I've found I love checklists. It CLEARLY lays out what you need to get done instead of keeping it in your mind for you to forget or not have any PHYSICAL representation of something you have YET to do. It puts the goals you want to finish right in front of you, you just have to do it and check it off. And it feels good to check off all of the boxes, it's motivational.
Didn’t know people could function WITHOUT checklists. 🤷♀️ Learned something new.
Checklists were literally life changing for me! I have one for cleaning, one for my weekly reset, one for my morning and evening routine, travel, etc So simple but yet so powerful!
Yes!! I absolutely love checklists. I have a travel checklist as well. Ever since I’ve been in a long distance relationship, and travelling became a frequent part of my lifestyle, I ended up making a checklist so that I don’t forget to pack essential things. Same goes for work, I make a checklist each week for tasks I need to complete
You have probably heard this a lot of times before, but this one from the bottom of my heart I FREAKING LOVE YOUR VIDEOS BRO.
I think there's a huge downside to "checklisting" and mental offloading. I had slowly but steadily become obsessed with noting things down, creating checklists, labeling systems, organizational hierarchies to help me become more productive.
I noticed that, while i looked very busy, the majority of my time was spent on managing the productivity system, instead of managing my tasks.
My opinion is that you start losing the ability to remember and recall information without external aid (think checklists). Not to mention the anxiety it gives me when I start thinking if I got everything on my checklist, or when trying to be an active listener but have to pause the conversation, so that I can get an "item on my list".
Checklists have good application nonetheless - when you start doing something new, then initially maintaining checklists can be useful. You don't have lots of context and information to make logical, quick and accurate decisions as to what to do next and what are the prerequisites, etc.
Overtime, the experience would help you internalise the information and get past the checklists.
My .02 cents.
underrated
Alexander Mitev I know they make me anxious so I tend to avoid them.
Seems like you are confusing the two, no? Check lists and to-do lists are different things, as the commenter outlined above.
CS it could mean different things. But Matt sometimes refers to checklists in the system sense of breaking down the complex into simpler steps, but he also suggests to use them to make progress on items that you never get to. That’s a to do list.
So basically you shouldn't obssess about it
I'm so jealous when I see the quality of your videos. To me, it seems that each video is getting better and better. Simply amazing...
The one checklist I find whenever I'm on the road:
1. Is it the truth?
2. Is it fair to all concerned?
3. Will it build goodwill and better friendships?
4. Will it be beneficial to all concerned?
Are you a Rotarian?
Ok
Wow. Amazing Matt! This is such simple yet powerful advice and I’ve definitely seen the power of checklists in my own life. Also, looks like I have a few more books to add to my reading check list 😏
Checklists and sub checklists saved my homeschool from so much suffering. I have adhd so checklists are my everything.
Is it productive to watch all of Matt’s videos?! 😭

I love the way Greg explains how to create a process checklist. So simple. So effective.
I love a good checklist. I’ll even go back and add things I’ve already done just for the satisfaction of checking it off. Wunderlist is a great app for this.
I do that too!! Great sense of accomplishment!💗
Thank you for the advice!!! I love finding new apps. They all seem not.. right

@@LostRelicGames Thanks for this info. I'll need to switch everything over. This makes me legit sad
Checklists are how I released my music single last year. It was over 50 items on that checklist but it helped me to do at least 1 task a day. I couldn't have those items in my head without forgetting them so I'm glad you've illuminated this idea out into the world. It has revolutionised the way I work and how effective I can be during the day!
Checklists always make you feel like a damn boss when you check everything off 🙌
This video has lifted so much resistance around list making. Now I can make a list as long as I want it to be. Everything will get checked off. As if time stop just so I could get things done. The most amazing thing is that I actually do. Thank you so much for making this video. It was made for me. Peace and blessings to you.
Got it, let’s start our checklist with: “Make a checklist”. Checked!
Hey Matt, I really appreciate your work.
I would like to have a compilation of "quick questions not so quick answers", from the ground up show.
Furthermore, I am seeking to have all the reading watching or listening to material that the successful people you interview suggest to consume, or attest their growth to.
Something to think about. Thanks for everything.

Matt d'blanc I saw what you did there
I just read the book and I'm really excited to give checklists a try ^^
This is great advice. I believe that this is why it is so important to write down goals. Not only because writing them down makes them affirmations, but it allows you to look at them each day and check off the steps towards accomplishing each one. I always use a checklist when traveling. Not only for what to take, but what needs to be taken care of around the house before leaving. Great video.
My whiteboard, with my checklist on, at my work is my life saver. I work so much more focused thanks to it.
These videos help me slowly get my life together
I like how experts just show up in middle of the video and start explaining their idea with no formal introduction ! :) 👍
As they say ‘something done at the right time is worth much more than doing something right’ or something like that. I first watched this video a year ago. I watched it again this morning and that was my right time. Thank you for all my checklists and systems
Just read the Checklist Manifesto and was blown away by the simplistic approach to any complicated process.
I remember reading the book titled "the checklist manifesto" and coming to the same conclusion. Simple yet effective.
Summary: - Make a checklist.
That's it. You're welcome.
@Finance Fit They are useful but so are spoons and hairbrushes but I don't need a 9-minute clickbait video to tell me that.

@@harmonyvegan And that's why he said this after 25 seconds ;)
Thanks man
My mom loves checklists! She has been insisting and teaching me how to do them everyday. There is something powerful when you physically check off a chore or duty, you feel so accomplished and motivated to keep knocking em off one by one.
Thank you so much, Matt! 💜 I love the fact that Greg's so clear (both in thoughts and speech) while he speaks. 👏🏽💯 Moreover, his smile is 😄.
So I started to make a checklist. - In my own way, but it's for "things I need to do tomorrow" and I'm not sure if it's helping or feeding in to my performance anxiety.
I've done it for 8 days now and it seems that I'm able to do the things I've wanted to get done - and it should tell my brain that I am good enough and I deserve to relax and play online games.
I think I'm just gonna continue and see how this thing will change.
Update.... 3 things on the check list is good enough to not trigger anxiety for me. Some times I do more, I can ad stuff like "cleaning" just to make me feel a little better.
here's Matt with his perfect timing 🙏
Thanks to you now I changed everything in my life. The world needs men like you to be a better place.
I've used a packing checklist for years (yet. I still sometimes forget things) and have a video shoot checklist, too. Checklists are the WAY!
This is a wonderful topic, Matt. I surely need a checklist for everything I do. Btw love your sense of HUMOR, Matt. That skit between you & Natalie is hilariously cute!
I’ve always felt like I’ve performed well when using checklists - there’s something satisfying about being able to visually see everything you’ve accomplished. However the past few times I’ve tried to make a list for things to get done in a day, I’m lucky if I accomplish half- I tell myself to just roll those tasks over to the next day but I usually just don’t. Watching this video as inspired me to figure what’s keeping me from completing my tasks and to refine my to do lists
I find it helpful to create another smaller “must do list” with just say 3 things on it that I DEFINITELY have to do that day. Then even if you just do those 3 things and nothing else, you still feel like you’ve achieved something and are less likely to give up! :) (I got this idea from the book ‘Get Your Sh*t Together’ by Sarah Knight... it’s a great book!)
Yes, be honest about what you actually need to do vs what you’d like to do. Not everything deserves the same priority level. Also, if you have something on your to do list that isn’t directly connected to a larger important goal, you’re less likely to accomplish it. Stay encouraged!
Checklists are really underrated! As you mention for traveling and editing it's perfect!
you're awesome Matt. Thank you soo much. See ya when I grow up.
I have a checklist space next to all my role models and yours is on the top.
5:12 so nobody gonna talk about how funny that was? 😂
@Rasmusb that's a dislike right there
@@D4rkLigHtLP the guy asked you to elaborate, can you pls elaborate?
Hey Matt! Maybe something to add to your editing checklist can be creating or outsourcing closed captioning on your videos. Your videos are so high quality, and it would be a small investment to make sure everyone can enjoy them.
Watched this video when it came out, created a few checklists, came across it today, and realized I'm completely dependent on those checklists. Thanks Matt!
I have a checklist of things that I have to do every day and I always forget to check things when I am done with them, but then when I do, it is so satisfactory to realize that I am achieving my goals. It has worked pretty well for me.
If you want to save a tree, laminate your check list and use a dry erase marker. 💜🌞🌵
5:15 Solid. “He’s British. He sounds smart. ..when he talks.” Great use of the pause.
I literally have been saying this for years. I have implemented checklists in my daily office work. And in my personal life. Checklists are the best!
Matt,
I am really pleased to see that you implement a little bit of sketch comedy into this.
Because it was one of the lifepaths you once wanted. It is so nice to see that you implement that love into your insanely valueable videos.
Started to get on flow mode. Enter youtube to put on some whitenoise track. Stop being productive to to watch Matt's new productivity video :D ....

Thankfully my brain surgeon had a check list in my brain surgery. He removed 100% of my tumor!🙌
I LOVE CHECKLISTS. I feel like I can concentrate better when its out of my head and on paper.

@@sugarbanana8066 Thank you!! I didn't know
Questions I've been wondering about for some time now:
1. Can audiobooks be a substitute for normal books? (lots of promotions for audible)
2. Same can video be a substitute for normal books? (like this video or others that summarise books/make them visual)
3. Can an E-reader be a substitute for normal books? (are E-readers less effective or as effective?)
Can’t answer 1.
2. No. To get the experience of a book that an author intended, read it.
3. I find e readers are miles more effective than a regular book, for someone who has to read on the bus in the dark or in any other circumstance, reading on an e reader or phone is much easier, in fact, you might forget to bring your book to x place, but you probably didn’t forget your phone did you?
For your first question it depends on how well you absorb the book. For example recently on one of my audiobooks I found that I’m merely letting the words just go past my head. I hear this dude talking but not really taking time to think it through. When reading text you have more of a chance to analyze it. Both are good, and I recommend doing both at the same time. Listen to audiobooks when driving, walking, and read when you can.
Regarding point 2- If you are reading self help books, yes. What I have found is that self help books just repeat a point over and over and over again, putting hundreds of studies and all that stuff. It is almost always never worth your time. Find a few videos about the book, apply them in your own life and refine them.
If you are reading anything else, obviously no. Gotta appreciate each style and wording of the author.
@@forestreee yes good point, I agree
of course there's no right or wrong answer, mostly depends on your own cognitive processes. premise: imho, nothing is a substitute to books. my personal take after some experimentation:
1. i found i absorb very little information with audio only. to this day i mostly use podcasts as a "just want to listen to something factual while i'm taking a walk" thing. but i found out that NOT consuming content while having my usual walk is way better to just let my mind flow free while consciously or unconsciously ruminate past or new ideas, and spark creativity. i had my best ideas during or after an old school walk. you don't have to constantly be consuming stuff. to this day, content is most of the time a marketing hook for somethink else, rarely valuable. way better to just unplug and think. maybe a digital detox is all you need instead, think about it.
2. compared to audio media, i do absorb information better by visual stimuli, even at increased speed up to 2x at times. but video content is hard to consume efficiently, and very easy to get you into binging sessions and overall "content FOMO". i'd still prefer a book.
3. a book is still my favourite medium to absorb. objectively, it's a thing that took incredible amounts of time to be crafted compared to other media and it's an actual distillate of knowledge of research and ideas on part of the author. by definition, it will always be the richest medium in terms of value, no contest, while also being the least efficient to consume. but what's the point for speed? you want comprehension and intellectual enrichment, not quantity of consumed information.
also books come with the advantage that's there's no binging or "quick and dirty digital distraction" to engage in FOMO (no "shiny new object one click away", so to speak). i.e.: if you want to read the book, you have to read the book. you have to be in the moment and invested in the experience. period. the downside is that nowadays, books are moving into content marketing objects just as well. so most recent books are not really intended as books, just visibility "hooks" (hey, pun!) to get the author "out there". your time is valuable and you won't be able to read all of the books out there. aim for the classics in both fiction and nonfiction.
as for e-readers, i've had one for 5+ years now. is it great for monetary convenience? hell yes. is it great for portability? hell yes. do i absorb content the same way as in a regular paper book? well not really. the only thing i still miss is the ability to actually underline text and scribble to the side of the page in real time and in a PHYSICAL WAY (i.e. pencil in hand). That way, i can pin down ideas and reflections by the time they hit me, with no tech barriers, and fix them in memory better. it's basic psychology, nothing against tech. lately i've been experimenting in keeping on reading "low-medium interest" or just "way too heavy-large books to get in paper" books on my e-reader, while actually investing in paper books for "high interest" ones, to be consumed the slow, old school way. and i'm satisfied with the results. better comprehension and deeper reflection on content. PS. speed reading is still mostly BS to me. tried it more than once. granted you'll be able to slightly increase your speed, but again is is about speed? you want to extract knowledge, understand it, and think about it. who cares about speed. make it about value.
been wordy. just my 2 cents, let me know your take
Admittedly, I use a lot of check lists and have for a long time (esp for travel!) . But this inspired me to go even farther with it. Now I have 3 kids and my brain really is over flowing. I appreciate your content rich videos, and the way you always provide more resources for us to go deeper into the subject should we feel compelled to do so. Thank you!!
