I had to say, I really appreciate how you edited the video without background music like some youtubers do(this also proves your point about distractions). Great vid, thanks!
I’ve just completed my 4 year degree and reflecting back: this video provides much more realistic advice on productivity than the garbage I was filling my head with. A lot of the content I was consuming on productivity was extreme, making me feel guilty with the high stakes of a do or die mentality - very non empathetic to the human condition and experience. If anything, it added to the internalised frustration of why I couldn’t be more productive and lapse. This video feels different where it does acknowledge that “willpower” is not something that is sustainable if I haven’t nurtured the prime environment (sleep, energy levels, distractions). Regretful that I wasn’t able to get the most out of my degree without validating my experiences in this way, but excited to apply similar principles in my life moving forward. Thanks Clark for reminding me life is quite doable!
I appreciate your clarity as well. I look back on my college experiences similarly - if I had understood how food and sleep and exercise could have helped, I'd like to think I'd be significantly healthier now. But, my life would be different, and that's something I'd rather not trade. It's pretty good as-is.
Finally someone who explained the process plain and simple!!! Thank you for your video!! It came at the right moment because o was feeling a little bit guilty that i am nit putting in amount of effort to get my project started or that i am not successful enough!! Keep Shining beautiful soul
One thing model question is what I always ask my coaching clients in business so that they could be laser focused and not get distracted in millions of ideas while there would be alignment for their vision and action today this week this year. So simple and effective model. Love the video Clark ❤
Give yourself time and space to be golden Seems like the principal comes back to the Dr. K “do less with more intention in order to do more overtime” If you’re eating, watching a show, going on a walk, working on something, eliminate as many distractions and put your time and focus into those individual things and really try and get as much out of even the most trivial things. You’ll be squeezing as much out of life as you should rather than the task switching malaise we may all be doin’.
Bro i love you just changed my life forever. All i wanted was to get over this girl but you gave me more than enough to realize how deep i was in my sleep
great tips there,i HATE being interrupted when concentrating. am a "one thing at a time"person myself, and find this gives me much more freedom and peace. multitasking been way overrated .
Hi Clark - I just happened upon your video this morning, and when you were talking about to do lists I remembered that chip and I received many years ago that I still use today it’s called the Eisenhower matrix. It’s four steps. There are four categories: Urgent and important (these are the things that you do), important but not urgent (schedule these for later or another day), urgent, but not important (you can delegate these to someone else), and finally not urgent and not important and you just get rid of these ones. It has helped me be more productive for years and I just wanted to share it with you. I do love the book The One Thing - in fact, I’m going to read it again. Cheers and I have subscribed - I’m looking forward to catching up on your other videos.
This video made me rethink a lot about productivity myths! The idea that focusing on one important task can be way more effective than trying to get a million things done is pretty eye-opening. Also, I never considered how much willpower is tied to energy levels rather than time-definitely going to find my “golden hours” now. And the whole multitasking thing? I’ve been there, thinking I was doing lots when in reality it was slowing me down. Most surprising was the “66 days for a habit” bit-no wonder things take a while to stick! Thanks for the insights, definitely time to manage energy and set better habits. Excited to try these changes!
I truly love all the advices in this video. I myself had similar mindset of keeping busy to be productive to a fault in the past. Not until I had a health scare that I put more attention to changing my way of life and thinking. Now I do most of the advices you listed here. However, I often wonder if I didn’t hustle and work as much as I did before, will I have the same accomplishments I do now. Now I have the allowance to work in my own pace and be able to prioritize and do things one thing at a time, but it’s because i put in so much work and effort for several years to get here. So here i am years later wondering if i would have had the same accomplishments now if i did not give the same time and energy i did in the past? Just thinking out loud. My kids are growing fast and i want to be able to give them food for thought that can help them succeed. Thank you again.
There’s a lot of truth to the law of resistance, which says that the more you struggle toward something the more it actually pushes away from you. I relate very heavily to what you’re talking about in your early 20s I came up in social media at the same time. It was all grind set. I’m doing much better in my business now that I’m actually more relaxed, I let go. If a deal doesn’t happen, I just think all good. Its probably for the best. I actually do less and make more now. Which is a full 180 from how it used to be
At first sight, I thought you were another guru who uploads videos with the same content over and over again with different presentations to sell their courses. But I don't even see a course link in the description at all, I think I'll stick to this channel .👀
He has a course, there's nothing wrong with selling a course. I'm grateful for some courses I paid for as I got the information it would've taken me years to gather myself.
No he still the same dude. You can do the same . I actually had neighbor that was a life coach selling courses on law of attraction, she was a fraud. The police were always going to their place and they kept us up all night fighting. She even instigated a fight between me and her bf. They got evicted. Jenn faith I think is her name. Be careful there’s a lot of Fugazi
Going along with the plan your week one. I heard one that was. Don't base your production success on the day to day. Life happens, and things come up. You will have to switch gears sometimes. Essentially, when applicable, base your progress from where you are now compared to where you were in a weeks time.
9:45… this principle remains true in investing and trading… 80% of your profits come from 20% of your trading days… also you can spend 80 days with an investment and most of those gains come from a 20 day period.
@ people often tell us we can be anything we want to be. The bit they omit is we can’t be everything… We have to choose. And “the problem”, says Neo the Architect, “is choice”.
That was enjoyable....couple things made me think. ( I'm not all that good at thinking...) For years I've had a No New Projects rule which of course can't be followed most of the time since life hands us projects. The result of living by the rule is I'm careful not to step into time killers. I allow myself some wasted time each day if it brings me fun. tHanks for the video
Now only I could explain this to my boss lol no one else in my office understands my flow state. I’m the only one that works on deep work projects and I get interrupted SO MUCH. It’s infuriating
As an artist/musician what would you say could be that one BIG important thing to do this month? First thing that came to mind was ‘make my song blow up’ but easier said than done right. It’s awesome that you were a pro drummer, would love to hear any thoughts from a fellow musician
the worst thing for interrupting academic based tasks such as updating war and peace on a corporate database is the telephone. Add on being dyslexic to that!
I lose so much energy because I have to finish the university, work and also find time for what I love. I don’t want study. I just do it because I have to do it for the work and I’m really close to finish it but I don’t have the energy…
I wish there would be at least one content creator in this niche who is relatable... Every time it's something like Oooh I suffered due to my insane work ethic, I simply had to work 16 hours a day completely obsessed with hustle, it was ruining my life, I only realized it when I got heart attack when I was 19... Why can't there be at least one person who's like I was fucking lazy, I smoked weed all the time, hated my work, never wanted to achieve anything big in my life, here's how I fixed it... :D
I'm 99.99% Gary Vee did not tell you to work 16hr days. He reccomends you audits your time and asks what are you actually doing during the time you are supposed to be working. I've listened to him for years and heard this lie perpetuated time and time again. It's simply not the case. There's plenty you can fault him for but he doesn't advocate working 16hrs until you burn out.
In this video, I'll show you how to get more done in ONE month than most people do in 12 months. We'll look at why productivity is B.S. and why you shouldn't try to be "productive" at everything. I'll give you the 5 BEST hacks that work for real productivity.

Focusing on one impactful thing as opposed to 20 or 30 aspirations is exactly the advice I needed to hear

Just read your comment & personally intrigued where did you consume the ‘other’ productivity advice from?
(I noticed the same after quite some time)
I appreciate your clarity as well. I look back on my college experiences similarly - if I had understood how food and sleep and exercise could have helped, I'd like to think I'd be significantly healthier now.
But, my life would be different, and that's something I'd rather not trade. It's pretty good as-is.
I know when I see a full on chart right at the beginning it’s gonna be another banger 📊😂

Yes, please do a video on weekly to do lists!

Wow - I haven’t watched Clark for years. Forgot about this channel. Came back and he’s at 1.8M subs 💪🏼
Yes for weekly to do lists! I’ve switched to that recently too but would love more guidance✨
It’s all about balance. Learned this the hard way too. Need to read that book 🙌🏼✨
What book ?
@ the book mentioned in the beginning of the video

You are a really great teacher. So many useful tips I can actually use. Thank you so much!
OMG - your description in the first few minutes of the video it is totally me
Most of you watching this, including me, knows exactly what to do. We're just lazy to take the freakin action
Shhhhh :-)
But why are we lazy ?
@@sauravbasu8805 Life's too comfortable. We have food , bed , pocket money and this phone to scroll all day
@@sauravbasu8805 because of a lack of self discipline
@Philosophertres Why could we not discipline the self, knowing fully well what would be good for us ?
20/80 rule applied to productivity is brilliant, I didn’t think about that

Thank you. Powerful nuggets of wisdom.
So helpful, I love the success list instead of a to-do list, also manage your energy not your time ❤️
I really needed to hear this 😊 Great information and thanks for making this video
I'm surprised I hadn't seen your videos, they are amazing, superb well done
Great work, as usual. You could also include the Eisenhower matrix to set priorities and then use your time more wisely

This was super helpful! Thank you! Amazing hair by the way😊
Love your content Clark, love how down to the earth are these advices.The pareto advice is so real.
Thanks for the video Clark! 😉
As a scholar, I appreciate you citing your sources SO MUCH!!
Thank you mate for this video. And yes, please make a video about your weekly ToDo list. 😊
This was so good. Thank you! Can't wait to begin implementating these tips. ❤ I will start by auditing myself.
Your video really helped me. Great advice and stories. Thank you

Thanks for sharing, Clark!!

Clark, you look younger today than the past few months. I like your aura now, Clark. Keep it up.
This Is Excellent Content , Well Done Brother !!!✅
Great video. Very clear instruction, nice chart, good story telling.
Amazing concepts Clark 👏 yeah we would like to see a video for the weekly to do list ✅
First thing in the morning definitely is my best time to work on myself 🔥😊
12:36 I feel called out. 😅 I needed this though.
Thank you so much for this ❤
excellent video, loved every bit of it ,Thank You!
I loved your video! Very informative and good suggestions to put in practice! Thank you!
Astonishing content Clark 🔥🔥
That's a damn fine garden Clark
Yes a weekly to do list video would be much appreciated thanks
Take one goal and one goal only and work on it for 50 days straight. Your other things will suffer and might downgrade, but you have to accept it.
Going along with the plan your week one. I heard one that was. Don't base your production success on the day to day. Life happens, and things come up. You will have to switch gears sometimes.
Essentially, when applicable, base your progress from where you are now compared to where you were in a weeks time.

Best hair on TH-cam, good lord!
He’s a very attractive guy. He also stands at 6’4 and has the body of an olympic athlete, which helps lol
16:45. Nothing better than going to the gym and then eating a Chipotle burrito on the way home. Dopamine....yeah!
Great stuff!!! Thank you!

Thanks for the great advice.
Those 6-7 years of hustle laid down the foundation of what have built today.
I ❤ your visuals!!!! What a great video
Great tips! Thanks
Nice video ! I found your channel and now I have to study more of your videos 🫡 Good job bro, open minded
Why aren’t more people talking about your hair bc it’s soooo greattttttttt
I *need* to be productive at every waking hour of the day. I'm the KING of deferring work until never.
Yes more guidance on weekly to do list.
I live in Scottsdale, Arizona myself! Love the video couldn’t agree more on productivity
Thank you so much.
Now only I could explain this to my boss lol no one else in my office understands my flow state. I’m the only one that works on deep work projects and I get interrupted SO MUCH. It’s infuriating
thank You 😊
I like your drawings ✨
Great advice ❤
Yes to weekly list video
He's right at 01:00 i never realised wow
Actually really helpful video
As an artist/musician what would you say could be that one BIG important thing to do this month?
First thing that came to mind was ‘make my song blow up’ but easier said than done right. It’s awesome that you were a pro drummer, would love to hear any thoughts from a fellow musician
Figure out what your inputs are and focus on that. Blowing up your song is an effect. What inputs can you do that would help to cause that result?
the worst thing for interrupting academic based tasks such as updating war and peace on a corporate database is the telephone. Add on being dyslexic to that!
You are fire 🔥 man.
Thanks this helps me alot
I’m buying an old school weekly agenda after watching this video!
BUT DIDN'T WATCH, JUST APPEARED FIRST, AAAAAYYYYEAHHHH
#4 really becomes a problem when I have to take meetings in the middle of performing work, and task switching isn’t an option.
thanks. ur so expressive.. psychologist.
