In this video, I will show you some of the greatest productivity hacks to optimize your day. One of the productivity methods that I will share in this video is known as the Eisenhower Box. The use of the Eisenhower box is simple, yet incredibly valuable for achieving goals and tasks that have been set for the day, week or month.
Remember, the goal of productivity is to allow you to accomplish a task with less time and energy, giving you more time for leisure (ideally)

I procrastinate by watching TH-cam videos about productivity
Endemic Education tell me why I’m here doing the same 🤝
Yo boi same , drop me a DM and maybe we can try combating it together ?
IG : you.are.phenomenal
hahah admitting you have a problem is the first step LOLOL. Well at least you are acquiring some knowledge.. not all procrastination is created equal you right!? lets bring it
Saaaaaaaaame 😫😫😆😌
Such is life
Being rich is having money, being wealthy is having time - M. Bonnano
Josh D very true!
@Josh D Some people are so broke they don't realize how wealthy they are.
absolutely!! rich is money, wealthy is a mindset
👍
How to be efficient and work smarter: i listen to nate o'brien videos at work: therefore i dont lose time on youtube at home, i improve my knowledge about productivity and money management, and last but not least, i work on my english listening. Thank you nate, from paris!
Laurent Rigoreau Ay I’m also French but I’m Canadian though
Laurent Rigoreau Same!
l like to work on my english listening using 'productivity gurus' like nate, nathaniel drew, thomas frank, joey from better ideas and matt d'avella, great resources to learn the american accent and grow as a person
But there's that multitasking didn't help being productive unless you are in auto mode of doing stuff.
This guy is wise beyond his years!!
Often people who say this are dumb themselves.
@@lycan2494 no one asked ur opinion
Innocent, maybe you’re dumb.
@@livialaven6112 no one asked ur opinion about my opinion
@@MBarberfan4life no u.
being produtive means starting something and finishing it whether it takes either 5 minutes or 2 hours - without any kind of distraction - that's what I think of productivity and the most important skill for being productive is focus.
1. Work expands to fill the time allotted to it. Have strict deadlines.
2. Work smarter (take a step back to spend time planning and optimizing)
3. Become a "No" man
4. Avoid multitasking, use time blocking
5. Take the marathon approach to working hard - work steadily and reward yourself for it.
I time everything. It takes about an hour to do most errands or chores, such as buying groceries, supper and dishes, vacuuming, ironing, etc. This makes it easier to schedule my day.
I only focus on the complicated for a certain amount of time. In between, I do mundane chores, such as dishes, laundry, swivel sweep, dust, etc. This gives my mind time to refresh itself.
I have found planning my day and sticking with it leaves me so many more hrs in the day. When you lay around on the weekend, it flies by and nothing gets accomplished
I have also noticed the same thing!
yes!! having a concrete plan before each day is something I do and something i have my clients do when I coach them. It seriously makes a huge difference having a plan vs just winging it... everyone tends to lean towards procrastination when there isn't plans and deadlines for thing. Let me know how i can hep you along your journey man lets crush it
I’m watching this as I’m procrastinating my 4 page essay that’s due tonight
Nate's cinematography is fire! Great stuff buddy
The most efficient thing anyone can do, is to condense everything they say. It's a courteous use of your own time as well as the time of others.
How to be more productive: stop procrastinating and start doing
Me: *i think I'll youtube some more videos on how to be productive*
hahaha RIGHT!? i think it's fine to do some... i'd say set an alarm on your phone for a certain amount of time and then when it goes off wherever you are you can pick up the next day. Lets crush this year man
The rest of my day starting now is: toss out all the big bags of cloths and shoes, and then complete the last 4 pages of my book, do the last editing of the book, then editing the other two books, and the pic out the covers for all three books, then journal my day, pick out the next 3 prompts for my poetry writing challenge, research for my next book, smoke cbd while listening to life coaches and do some grooming and sleep.
Hey Nate, I really like your idea about taking a step back every so often, in order to make sure you're still heading in the right direction. No point in continuing to scrub the floor with a toothbrush if you can use a mop
6:37 that is very important, working smarter before you work harder, that is the smartest way to go about doing it
Nate is so smart
I honestly think a lot of this stems from our education system. We are not taught to critically think, but instead blindly follow instructions and do as we are told. I'm astounded by the number of very talented and great people in the professional world that do not try to think out of the box, frankly because they have never been challenged to do so. I love your channel, thanks for sharing this video.
Or the other way round: try to think out of the box in the corporate hierarchy and see what happens to you.
Steven Huffnagel You know. Not a bad point. I feel like some corporations really encourage it and others hate it, and you never know which is which 😄
couldn't agree more man!!! it's very common.... that's why they say A students work for C students. A students tend to focus all their time and energy on doing things right instead of trying things.... C students can some times tend to just do things.... fine balance there. Hope you are well lets crush it
Shaun Surgener Yes! Although I’m not fully convinced C students didn’t invent that to make themselves feel better 😂 (ie: me)
No matter what I'm doing, I'm constantly thinking about what I'm going to do next and how efficiently I can do it.
“I’m not a doctor but I’m going to prescribe you a big ass glass of water”
And chapstick
lol
lol =)))
Thank you Nate your videos always motivating to do better every time I watching and it’s exactly what it’s happening to me I am in the process of writing a book And every week I dedicate a few hours, my goal was to have it ready by April, Now that I watch your video, it’s more motivating to by organize and finish in time with your good advice that you showed us is very helpful
*Time management is key. Once you figure that out, you'll never be late.* 😉
facts right there!!!! definitely important to understand time management and keep yourself heading in the right direction and on time. Hoping you are well and lets crush it this year. New levels to get to
I am listening to your videos as I fix and eat breakfast or cleaning house. I am being productive, as I listen to your youtubes. Thanks!!
Love your content Nate! I definitely agree with this! 👍😊😃 I’m still working on this myself. Great tips! Working smarter is definitely key to most things! 😃
Some soothing piano in the intro. I'm ready to focus and be productive
I am so glad to have subscribed to you Nate because I always wanted to know how to be a little more productive and this video made me think a little more about how to do it.
Such a great guy. Thanks for all these videos, they are helping me a lot to become a better version of myself !!
Nate loving the new production style of the video, definitely something new!
The sponsor LASTPASS honestly creates efficiency. I trust their security and use LASTPASS on several platforms. Back in the day I maybe had 3 passwords, which isnt the case anymore, it's in the hundreds. LASTPASS also will create tricky passwords for me.
In productivity I did find the calendar app and reminder app on my phone has become second nature in planning my time accordingly.
I was a fan of DAYTIMER paper planners and had to get used to the digital shift.
Get stuff done, but have some fun.
Your videos are so soothing and well-made, I love them and I think you deserve so many subscribers ☺️🦋
First off I'd like to thank you for taking the time to make these awesome videos. I appreciate your content and your valuable advice. I thought you were like 26 years old but I discovered in one of your other videos that we're actually the same age because of this it makes it more easier and relatable. You're a very inspirational person and I'd like to say continue the great work. Wish you the highest good and thank you again!
Thank you! The strategies in here are a game changer!
Thank you very much ! I love "make sure that you work smarter before start to work harder" that's the point for many people including me ! I've read a boo about that "winning without losing : 65 strategies for building a wildly successful business while living a happy and balanced life" it was helpful to understand that " you need to work hard and forget everything else to build a successful business is a BS someone said one day and everybody just believe it without even trying other ways"
i've used you're ways in being productive and it's helped me so much
"Employ your time in improving yourself by other mens writings, so that you shall gain easily what others have laboured hard for" Socrates
powerful stuff right there!!! haven't seen that one before. Thanks for the share. Hoping you are crushing it! lets bring it this year :)
The first TH-camr that is really straight to the point
Well said. Lovely, very good information. It is so important to say "NO", and to take care of our health. Luv ur videos.
I love how cinematic your videos are!
We found out one of the powerful is having a great knowledge thank you very much everyone for sharing knowledge that beneficial please post more it's important
been subbed for a year now at least. im amazed at the quality of your videos now man
Your new b-roll and cinematic footage in the last couple of videos are dope, BUT you have such a great ability to talk and explain yourself fluently for long periods of time without any jumpcuts (unlike most youtubers) - I think it's one of your greatest strengths, I actually felt that the b-roll in this video made me lose concentration unlike your past videos. so even though it seems like a higher quality production, I'm not sure it's actually better. hehe funny also relates to this video's topic - working harder to do a task that can be done in a simpler way.
Thanks for being a great motivator for us. I was successful in getting up early to do exercise after watching your video. It really hit. Thanks
Reminds me of the 4 hour workweek book. After reading that book, it made me realize how much time we waste doing unproductive and meaningless tasks. The key isn't to be "busy" but be productive. We aren't lazy if we want to work smarter and NOT harder.
I really liked this video it was very helpful. I’ve been in a creative rut and I appreciate this advice Nate!
These quadrant very useful. So, thank you Nate🙏
Love this, Nate! I'm gonna be productive starting tomorrow. I promise!
Best video ever! Thanks. Greetings from Colombia 🇨🇴🇨🇴
Nice video
Same with the concept of commitment, it's about doing things regardless of the uncontrollable variables surrounding it. (This is not the word for word definition of commitment tho but this is how I see it)
I’m grateful for this video 💙 thank you Nate
Thank you Nate 💙
Thank you !
Shiiiiiiiii this the most useful TH-cam channel no cap it’s more universal than other helpful ones like graham Stephan
I feel like people underestimate the importance of saying no to others when it comes to how they spend their time. This is such a good point. Are you doing what serves you?
I appreciate your videos and the advice you share.
Fantastic definition of productivity
I agree with being a "no" person, because I've been that way for a long time. But do take the time to say "yes" to the things you really want to do. I've found that I spent too many years saying no when I easily could have said yes and created great memories. But overall I do agree with you
Nice change up Nate. Outside the apartment & off the couch lol. Nice addition with the graphic. I would take out the background music when your explaining the main points. Maybe just for the ad & some slow mo b roll stuff.
Killer info from the goat as always.
Loved this!
I wish I thought like you do beck when I was 21. I am 38 almost and just started changing my life.
Простыми Словами it’s never late! Glad at least you realize!!
Heart of Kentucky. Hey Nate. I'm getting over proscratination. Katie.
I am definitely guilty of putting my head down and just working and working without ever picking my head up. Its a very sad and unfulfilling way to live. Thankfully, I am making changes in my life now, so things should improve!
Needed this one. Ironically, I do find myself watching TH-cam wayyyy too much and not being productive lol
Watching TH-cam is a curse... :(
hahaha yes and that's definitely a potential... go to youtube to learn and then spend too much time on youtube... maybe set an alarm on your phone for so much time that way when it goes off no matter what you are doing you can pick up another day where you left off. Hope you crush it this year
This video is not a waste of time.
Nate your so inspiring thank you
Great time management tips!! Talking about Parkinson's Law, imagine if we knew how much time we have left to live. There's a great sci-fi movie In Time in which basically people know how much time they got before death, and in the movie time replaces money: the richer you are - you've got more time, the poorer you are - less time, so the poor are like more productive because of that.
YESSS!! i tell my clients this all the time... gotta live like there is only a little time left.. really changes quite a bit when you come from that mindset. Focus on what's most important to you. I hope you crush this year
Thank you for making so many useful videos!
Not much things in life that you can control other than your time and your attitude...master that and I am sure productivity will come :) Never stop to motivate, man.
i often watch this channel not only to get knowledge from him but also practice listening skill in such a high speed. =)))
(Work smart >Work hard) + Prioritizing = Efficiency.Productive ✍️✍️
Poetry and art my boy, well struck.
I'm 34 years old, and I am learning from this kid. I should feel ashamed. He knows his life's path more than I do mine. Hahaha!
Quality content as always Nate! :)
Gotta say, I've been really needing this video recently. I make videos myself and animation is pretty time consuming. Wish I could find ways to keep the quality at the same level, but just get them done quicker haha
U might need to bring in more ppl for something like that
Cinematography in this video was dope
Great explanation!
There's nothing more I hate than people telling me how "busy" they are at work. Most people have no clue about the difference between "being busy" and being productive. When it comes to understanding how to be efficient, it's nuclear physics to them.
Great tips as always!
The is chaanel is worth my subcribing to. can always count on nate for valueable advice.
Thank you nate
Thank you so much
If you travel to sweden one day in the future, i would love to meet you. Thanks for the information!
SUCH GREAT CONTENT!
I like his philosophy. 💕
The b-roll in these videos is sick. I'm jealous.
Health & happiness
Rilly great content hea thanks nyoo
Great video!
dude this is super useful.. the more i watch your videos the more i am addicted to lol
If you make a list ahead of time, it gives you extra time to enhance it or prioritize it more efficiently. Group similar tasks together.
Thanks
Hello GQ vibes and video production value 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Wise advise, thanks!!
Great Video Nate
The intro is on point!
I find myself procrastinating tasks that I don't like. It often holds me back from completing what I want to complete because I first need to do something different. I guess it's best to accept that work is not always fun and that the sooner the boring or discouraging tasks are done, we can start with what brings us forward on our journey.
Another efficient use of time is to take more time. Over time, new and easier ideas arise.
Make it more drastic, works in all walks of life.
Great video 👏🏼
Hey bro, were you in Dublin this weekend? I thought I recognised you, was going to thank you for all the great content, its helped me a lot. Wasnt 100% certain though!
Neat, I hadn't heard of Parkinson's Law or the Eisenhower Box. I don't know why I find learning info on TH-cam so much more compelling than when I was in college, lol.
Nate, I feel you on the whole "drink a glass of water in the morning." thing, but when I wake up and have that bad morning breath taste in my mouth, the last thing I want to drink is morning-breath-infused water. XD
Lastpass is great!
