There you go fam: 1. Use your green zone (when you feel the most energetic) 2. Make it a challenge (Parkinson’s Law) 3. Don’t answer right away 4. Don’t read books (sponsor Shortform) 5. Get some sleep 6. Cold exposure in the morning 7. Calculate your hourly rate & delegate accordingly 8. Use tools to help you stay motivated (audiobooks, TH-cam videos, music) - switch your mindset 9. Make a to-do list with 1-3 things on it 10. Batching (cooking, calls, emails) 11. Study money 12. Don’t be perfect (perfect is the enemy of done) 13. Purpose trumps motivation 14. Finding places for my stuff 15. Build a system for everything 16. Eat some Swiss cheese or Swiss cheese method (break your huge goals into small achievable targets) 17. Switch up your location 18. Use focus mode on your phone 19. Try to work from home (save insane amount of commute time) 20. Try to do less!
Thanks for saving me close to 13 minutes of listening to the same advice I’ve heard on a million other videos. (It’s not that it’s bad advice. It isn’t. I’ve just been there done that.)
Very helpful list. "13. Purpose trump's motivation" Having read comments before watching, I was confused at your statement's meaning. Did you mean to copy Donald Trump's source or method of motivation and make it your personal purpose? And then it hit me ah you meant "purpose trumps motivation"! LOL that misplaced apostrophe hehe.
One more tip. Sometimes you have to do more. For those who don’t have enough going on, that can really slow down productivity in all areas of life. As soon as you add more projects and events to your life, you’ll find you can accomplish everything and feel better!
You've contradicted yourself in a few of these vids. In one video you say read a different book everyday but in another video you say don't read books. I'm always reading something every single day & I love reading so much.
Very insightful video! Also, if you do feel tired after eating and not energized, it could be related to a large insulin spike. This could potentially be fixed by reducing sugars and carbs from your meal and increasing protein and fiber. Processed foods are the most notorious for the drousy or manic feeling after eating. Food should definitely energize you without making you manic or drowsy if you are optimizing your diet!
I’ve been watching your videos for a few years. I almost never follow your tips exactly, but the reason why I watch is because I appreciate your outlook. Find time for what matters, and do less. Watching your content (and others’), normalises my life choices when a lot of the people around me are working themselves into the ground. So, thanks!
Your videos are very "watchable". It helps me be more productive and I've been much more focused on finances lately. My goal is to be financially independent in about ten years, when I'm 50. Whether I'll actually retire at that time is unknown, but I'd love to have it as an option!
I love productivity content and this was a really interesting video. I just wish there was more productivity content for jobs that are very structured, like teaching where I don't have the opportunity to work within a green zone, work from home, or do a lot of delegating. Now of course, not all of these tips are meant to be perfect for everyone, so I know I just have to find that content that fits that life. Glad I found this video!
I have noticed this about my green zone as well of when I am most productive. I also have a bout a three hour window and I try to make sure that I do not run errands during this time that I stick at home and I finish up what’s on my home base plate. Otherwise I waste my time in the car driving instead of getting actual work done. After that I pretty much don’t force myself into doing anything because I know I won’t be very productive, took me quite a while to realize all of this stuff because I wanted to just go full on all day long and it doesn’t work. I’ve been doing this Swiss cheese method for a long time I just call it bit by bit. Slow and steady wins the race and you do get it done as in not ever starting and not getting it done. I did a major landscape project last summer, took me eight weeks as I did about an hour in the morning while it was still cooler outside And then maybe an hour in the evening and I knew this would be the only way that I would do it. Success I had no time limit on this but just continue being steady on it and yes I got it done versus if I would’ve looked at it as a whole project and taking days to do it I wouldn’t of done it. I pretty much do this with everything now that is something that I’m not that excited to do, I just told myself just do this 15 minutes today and eventually it happens. So I may have multiple projects going versus just doing one, it just works for me
My work definitely expands to fill the time. I'm a teacher and I sometimes deliberately don't plan anything until I only have the amount of time I'm paid for. Sometimes I have to plan a few days in advance and unless I'm really strict with myself, I'll spend ages trying to make the lesson perfect rather than stopping when it's good enough (and I'm eating into my free time).
The first habit is really only for men. Because their hormone cycle is 24 hours long, so it resets each day. This means men have their testesterone high levels at the same time each day. Womens hormone cycle is between 25 and 35 days long. It's divided into four phases. The highest productivity is in the first two phases after the menstrual phase.
Finding your green zone makes so much sense for productivity! Have read many of your book suggestions, and they have enhanced my life, like so many of your videos!
Along with your relocating as you film I have to say I love the esthetic of your home so beautiful! The wood toned door ways the teal walls and the white brick also. Its like seeing my dream esthetic in all your videos, also keeps watchers engaging to take in new surroundings behind you :-)
I try to 'front load' most of the day's tasks in my green zone, which is also in the morning. I get more done this way and it allows me to relax later in the day guilt-free.
Thank you for all of these great tips! I’m really excited to start so many of them and I know if I can just stick to these my life will change! What are you using to make your to do lists I tend to never look at mine because I lose it or forget since I’m very easily distracted and forgetful. Everything you mentioned is really awesome! ❤
I bought a planner from the Dollar Tree for my daily to do list and it works very well for only $1.25. just put the list in there, bullet journal style, and check off that day or migrate to the next day as needed.
I liked your video. Some of the suggestions I have in place, some were reminders. I've retired, so my need to get sorted is more urgent. My overall aim is to live the best I can for these next 15 yr. You know, death cometh, if not before 15 yr. 🙂
Good clips, thanks. Am I the only person that thinks Parkinson's Law is somewhat ... flawed? Yes, there's truth to it, but surely, giving yourself more time to work on a uni assignment will result in better grades (if time is used wisely). I rushed most my uni assignments and got average grades. The ones I took my time in, I got good grades. Then again, I could have sped up the process of the good grades ones by applying Parkinson's Laws to some stages. Then again, who really cares cause I work in a supermarket now anyway. I Parkinson lawed my entire f***ing life.
The swiss cheese method is like eating a swiss cheese. You don't eat the whole cheese at once, you do it bite-sized pieces. Eating the whole cheese seems way to much. But a little each time will let you do it eventually
Omg ...I always did the green and red zone thingy but to hear it out loud makes me feel like I am productive and was doing my best that I can, cause I felt my whole day should be a green zone. Thank you , love your channel and vib.
Batching! Because multitasking is so wrong!! Studies have proven that doing one thing at a time produces the best results. Too bad companies don’t understand that!
I was thinking the same thing, that I want to share with my teen daughter that is struggling with not submitting her work due to perfectionism. This is great for all ages.
1 minute habit: focus for 3 hours on your job 1 minute habit: make it a challenge for several hours 1 minute habit: read summaries that definitely take more than 1 minute etc these are not 1 minute habits - at all. Maybe the cold water one can be considered as such, but the rest are not it. I'm not saying it's bad advice, but it's a misleading and clickbaity title that lower quality TH-camrs use.
Hey Gabe. If you read DIVIDEND GROWTH MACHINE by Nathan Winklepleck you'll probably come up with a few youtube video ideas. Takes about 1 hour to read.
I would like to thank you for using your own footage in your videos. Not sure why it bugs me when people use stock videos, but it drives me nuts! I appreciate your effort and being genuine. 😀
The "don't read" version for this: Don't One item Pay others Sleep Freeze Don't email ...... It's the shortest possible, contextless version. A twenty minute read of a 13 hour read is not going to get you the info.
I just found you. Re: driving to a coffee shop, I was Shocked to realize Just Having other people around makes a ginormous difference. I already do a few of these. Thanks for the confirmation, and the additional tips.
Very clever hacks. I've tried a few, they work. Some remind me of The 4 hour week, Tim Ferris. Really interesting, you can feel these are truly irl practised tips
"try to work from home" 🤨 Dude, that's what Covid forced so many to do and now so many haven't done back or that's the new way. My husband has been work from home since early March 2020 and it's July 2023 with zero motivation for him to go back to the office, nor majority of his co-workers.
I get it. Your channel is about this stuff, and you have some good things to think about. Please think about that precious baby who will be graduating high school in a minute. We live in a time of ME ME ME, all about me. You will say that these things help you to give 'quality' time to your baby. But, do they? Do all of them? Maybe just think about these things, not so much attention to your 'zones' and rush, rush, rush to save time. I like you here, but I love that baby! Thanks.
If I had to batch your most valuable ideas into 1-3 from this video (actually 3 because it would be hard to choose 1), it would be, 1, Focus on finances 2, Choose 1-3 tasks that are the most important each day (focusing on finances, creating systems, and batching are great tasks to start!) 3, Work from home The rest don't work as well unless you've done these things. They're all good ideas, but I think some of them can be unrealistic for certain professions or situations/seasons of life. One might work during the day, but be more productive during the evening or night (or vice versa). This would prevent good sleep. Still really good principles to follow. I'm sure you're well aware of different job/financial situations or seasons of life which is why you emphasize working from home if possible. Also, for those who lose track of things easily, make sure you prioritize 2 or 3 things that you CANNOT lose and build a habit of always keeping track of them (i.e. keys, phone, wallet, etc).
Thanks for all these! I'm guessing you are using a food prep or food delivery service. I have done a ton of research, but am never satisfied by the offerings. I love to cook, but the days I have class and work, I don't have the time unless I food prep extra. Any leads? Top favs?
what Financial Podcasts do you listen to? Trying to mix up my morning Routines Been loving your videos and outlooks and advice. Definitely been applying bits and pieces daily and becoming a routine for me still got a lot of work to do but getting there.
these are good ideas for organizing one's life .. but .. purpose motivation sleep & cheese are clearly NOT 1 minute habits .. i'd suggest changing the title or re-organizing the topics ...
You may have already done so and I have missed it, but if you haven't there would be a lot of people interested in exactly what equipment, programs and a short overview of exactly how you shoot your videos. They are great by the way. Keep up the great and informative work. Thanks
Batch cooking is a bad idea and harms digestion. Cooked food should be consumed within 45 minutes after it’s ready. Of course no one wants to hear this because it’s cheap!
I have the same bio-zone as you have. I am always arguing with myself about when to do exercise. All the experts say that you should get outside in the morning, that getting sunlight early helps you get in a good circadian rhythm and sleep better. (I am kind of a night owl.) If I exercise in the morning, it's during my productive time, so I am not getting stuff done. And, when I come back from exercise, I have to stretch, shower, eat, etc, so by the time I start "working", I'm feeling my slump time. I would much prefer to work early, then eat, then get outside and exercise between about 3-5PM. But then it is hotter in the summer, or getting dark in the winter.
@_monicamjohnson_ Thank you for that suggestion. I have been thinking of this as well - just getting outside in the morning for a quick walk around the block. I can then get my work done first, and save the 1 to 2- hour exercise block for the afternoon, as I really do perform better physically later in the day and it doesn't matter if I am worn out afterwards.
@@Wendathena one point was: Get it done. Not perfect but do it. Move your body. Enjoy the sun. Maybe not at the same time but it will make you happy either way😊
I found your channel a while ago but since someone mentioned you reading the Bible, that was a clincher for me to subscribe. I recently unsubscribed from someone else who was using swear words in his video. I didn't need that. I've been trying to stop swearing myself but I just feel that it takes credibility away when people use swear words on their channels. I noticed that you sit on the floor to eat. That's really cool. It's something I've considered doing, spending more time sitting on the floor. I've heard that it's a good thing.
❤❤This video is golden!! It’s like you evaluated my life. I have ADHD, as well as my husband and daughter. I’ve used some of these hacks Already. Especially the timer. I time everything o do now. It’s so valuable!! Love the cold shower in the morning I’ve been doing it for 4 months now. Love it❤❤
Also….I love making lists I feel like I get waaay more done! I am totally a perfectionist and my son is also. So acknowledging and working on this helps me and it helps my son to be able to tackle early in his life also. I’m so glad I took the time to watch this video!!
how long does it take to raise capital? to invent something that works? to test a business idea without spending money??ahhh seee? its not so easy to just estimate where you will be in 5 years...if you cant raise money, or you lose every election at the local level life doesnt give a crap about your ten year plan
The work from home one has the opposite effect for me. I can't focus, my neighbors are very loud, everything takes longer, and it makes it harder to relax when my day is over. Plus the commute acts like a reset button. But I know it's worked well for others.
Yea, and you turn your home into a workplace, which is the exact thing you don't want it to be. Plus, I eat a lot more. But, giving care and consideration it can be a good thing.
I probably misconstrued the meaning of study finance. I'm not as interested in streamlining my ability to make money as I am learning how to not have to use money at all. So I don't need a better understanding of how to make money. I need or more accurately I am more interested in needing less to no money.
Great video Gabe - Found your channel today and loved these tips. I am a biz owner (solo operator) and some really solid tips here. Do you also allow yourself to just do things 'spontaneously' at times? I find lately I'm not as creative and feel a little dull/bored/stuck. I hope to get out of that funk soon. Thanks for this video!
#4 dont agree. I enjoy reading books, you are talking about self development books, but I mostly read fiction and there is nothing about using shortform in that case. Once I had to return book to library in two days, I read 500+ pages in two days and I don't really enjoyed it so much. Usually I read 15-50pages a day and I am enjoying and waiting for time I will be able to read.
The deal is though that your green and red zones and yellow zones don’t always line up with the reality of your situation during when I have a red zone which is usually between 330 and 630 in the afternoon that’s when I need to be doing things for my clients it’s a challenge
Yeah maybe for you, the morning and early afternoon is to do self-care or take care of stuff around the house so you can be motivated and energized enough to do your main work in the late afternoon/evening and be able relax after
I disagree about the whole perfectionism thing. Yeah, you want to be efficient and not get stuck in paralysis by analysis, but you want to avoid that nonsense where that ONE mistake just destroys all the work you got done and/or stops EVERYTHING until you address it.
I would strongly disagree with that not every single person has the exact same skills and is worth the same amount as an accountant. I wouldn’t be worth a dollar an hour. Never mind 100 that I would pay somebody else. It’s literally creating jobs for people.
I honestly love my commute to work. Used to work from home (which was fine and does save money in the long run) but now I really appreciate the exercise on my bike and in the winter the time on the train to read, look out the window and calm down. I realize that is different to being stuck in traffic, so im very lucky to have public transportation

Work from home saved my life. I’m never going back to office.
Definitely a ton of perks
This video hopefully will blow up! Awesome advice, superb thumbnail and very nice edit 🔥 Makes it fun to watch and I also learn something about it 👍
agree man
Love your channel! You give honest and real tips and go beyond what others talk about.
Love all these habits. I do several of them but I need to implement the rest as well.
Thanks for sharin

Thank you!😊
Love to by cutting reading I could save hours weeks.. I know I will do more...
Thanks for saving me close to 13 minutes of listening to the same advice I’ve heard on a million other videos.
(It’s not that it’s bad advice. It isn’t. I’ve just been there done that.)
Very helpful list.
"13. Purpose trump's motivation"
Having read comments before watching, I was confused at your statement's meaning. Did you mean to copy Donald Trump's source or method of motivation and make it your personal purpose? And then it hit me ah you meant "purpose trumps motivation"! LOL that misplaced apostrophe hehe.
One more tip. Sometimes you have to do more. For those who don’t have enough going on, that can really slow down productivity in all areas of life. As soon as you add more projects and events to your life, you’ll find you can accomplish everything and feel better!

My green zone is 1 hr before the deadline
😂
I'm a very lazy person, and you are by far my most favorite TH-camr on the planet like eveeeeerr! 😆
Well thanks 🙏
Love your content! it's straightforward and is explained so well, keep up the great work :)
Appreciate it!
I love productivity content and this was a really interesting video. I just wish there was more productivity content for jobs that are very structured, like teaching where I don't have the opportunity to work within a green zone, work from home, or do a lot of delegating. Now of course, not all of these tips are meant to be perfect for everyone, so I know I just have to find that content that fits that life. Glad I found this video!
Agreed. I'm an attorney at a company so my hours aren't flexible.

One more thing. Noticed you study the Bible in the morning. Nice to have a man of faith on You Tube!
Noticed this as well and it made my heart smile ❤
TH-cam.
The Godly walk with integrity, blessed are their children who follow them. Proverbs 20:7
Oh wow didn’t catch that. That’s awesome. Can u do a video how u approach bible study?
Yes!!! I agree!! That would be awesome!

Work contract hours, teaching is exhausting nearly total energy transfer (in elementary anyway). Take care and fit prep in contract prep minutes.
@@nf325 I second this!!!!!!!!!!!!! Too exhausting!

These comments..
Binge watching your video to be more productive , is it productive ? 😂 nice video as usual
Lol
So that’s why you wear black? Cuz Johnny Cash did?
I need to say this is one of my favorite videos in your channel. It was just perfect. Thank you so much, Gabe! 👏🏼
The first habit is really only for men. Because their hormone cycle is 24 hours long, so it resets each day. This means men have their testesterone high levels at the same time each day.

Also, for those who lose track of things easily, make sure you prioritize 2 or 3 things that you CANNOT lose and build a habit of always keeping track of them (i.e. keys, phone, wallet, etc).
Thanks for all these! I'm guessing you are using a food prep or food delivery service. I have done a ton of research, but am never satisfied by the offerings. I love to cook, but the days I have class and work, I don't have the time unless I food prep extra. Any leads? Top favs?
Hi Gabe
I watching your super videos to get tips how I could live as a minimalist
Thank you so much. Really useful content.
what Financial Podcasts do you listen to? Trying to mix up my morning Routines Been loving your videos and outlooks and advice. Definitely been applying bits and pieces daily and becoming a routine for me still got a lot of work to do but getting there.
these are good ideas for organizing one's life .. but .. purpose motivation sleep & cheese are clearly NOT 1 minute habits .. i'd suggest changing the title or re-organizing the topics ...
Just checked out your motivation playlist and was glad to see so much NF (hes my fav)
You may have already done so and I have missed it, but if you haven't there would be a lot of people interested in exactly what equipment, programs and a short overview of exactly how you shoot your videos. They are great by the way. Keep up the great and informative work. Thanks
30 mins commute time isn’t even that long. Average time in London would be like 50 mins - 1 hour. But it rlly adds up.
I really enjoy this channel. It’s the greatest, so helpful. Thanks Gabe.
Batch cooking is a bad idea and harms digestion. Cooked food should be consumed within 45 minutes after it’s ready. Of course no one wants to hear this because it’s cheap!
Omg your life sound aweful - maybe you should refocus. I was stressed on your video. Success seem money oriented to you - your vid was anathema to me.
I have the same bio-zone as you have. I am always arguing with myself about when to do exercise. All the experts say that you should get outside in the morning, that getting sunlight early helps you get in a good circadian rhythm and sleep better. (I am kind of a night owl.) If I exercise in the morning, it's during my productive time, so I am not getting stuff done. And, when I come back from exercise, I have to stretch, shower, eat, etc, so by the time I start "working", I'm feeling my slump time. I would much prefer to work early, then eat, then get outside and exercise between about 3-5PM. But then it is hotter in the summer, or getting dark in the winter.
@_monicamjohnson_ Thank you for that suggestion. I have been thinking of this as well - just getting outside in the morning for a quick walk around the block. I can then get my work done first, and save the 1 to 2- hour exercise block for the afternoon, as I really do perform better physically later in the day and it doesn't matter if I am worn out afterwards.
@@Wendathena one point was: Get it done. Not perfect but do it. Move your body. Enjoy the sun. Maybe not at the same time but it will make you happy either way😊
I found your channel a while ago but since someone mentioned you reading the Bible, that was a clincher for me to subscribe. I recently unsubscribed from someone else who was using swear words in his video. I didn't need that. I've been trying to stop swearing myself but I just feel that it takes credibility away when people use swear words on their channels.
I noticed that you sit on the floor to eat. That's really cool. It's something I've considered doing, spending more time sitting on the floor. I've heard that it's a good thing.
❤❤This video is golden!! It’s like you evaluated my life. I have ADHD, as well as my husband and daughter. I’ve used some of these hacks Already. Especially the timer. I time everything o do now. It’s so valuable!! Love the cold shower in the morning I’ve been doing it for 4 months now. Love it❤❤
Also….I love making lists I feel like I get waaay more done! I am totally a perfectionist and my son is also. So acknowledging and working on this helps me and it helps my son to be able to tackle early in his life also.
I’m so glad I took the time to watch this video!!
Thank you Gabe... such wiseful habits..and you daughter is so cute 😍
how long does it take to raise capital? to invent something that works? to test a business idea without spending money??ahhh seee? its not so easy to just estimate where you will be in 5 years...if you cant raise money, or you lose every election at the local level life doesnt give a crap about your ten year plan
Nice video, very helpful. Couch on a background doe look 👀 familiar. 😊
The work from home one has the opposite effect for me. I can't focus, my neighbors are very loud, everything takes longer, and it makes it harder to relax when my day is over. Plus the commute acts like a reset button. But I know it's worked well for others.
Yea, and you turn your home into a workplace, which is the exact thing you don't want it to be. Plus, I eat a lot more. But, giving care and consideration it can be a good thing.
Omg, your daughter is so adorable!
100%
Gabe Bult!!!!
I probably misconstrued the meaning of study finance. I'm not as interested in streamlining my ability to make money as I am learning how to not have to use money at all. So I don't need a better understanding of how to make money. I need or more accurately I am more interested in needing less to no money.
I am fortunate enough to work from home, and I get to enjoy my biggest investment more than most people!!
Great to see you looking for opportunities to spend with family.
Great video Gabe - Found your channel today and loved these tips. I am a biz owner (solo operator) and some really solid tips here. Do you also allow yourself to just do things 'spontaneously' at times? I find lately I'm not as creative and feel a little dull/bored/stuck. I hope to get out of that funk soon. Thanks for this video!
Yes I do for sure I think it’s super important
These are some great tips, but it does not work for all jobs, such as teaching.
This is my first time enjoying your TH-cam channel. Great content! Looking forward to hearing more from you!
Well welcome aboard ! Hope you enjoy it
One is the Reformation Study Bible.. what about the other one?
#4 dont agree. I enjoy reading books, you are talking about self development books, but I mostly read fiction and there is nothing about using shortform in that case. Once I had to return book to library in two days, I read 500+ pages in two days and I don't really enjoyed it so much. Usually I read 15-50pages a day and I am enjoying and waiting for time I will be able to read.
I’ll checkout short form 🎉
What are your top recommendations for books to learn about finances?
I do the same thing for shower 😂
It's a great video
I just don't understand how these are 1-minute habits
Specially things like study money, work from home or don't be perfect
came here to say that
❤❤❤
My tip is watch videos on a faster speed. Ready, set, go
I also like systems. Does anyone know if any good books on systems?
The deal is though that your green and red zones and yellow zones don’t always line up with the reality of your situation during when I have a red zone which is usually between 330 and 630 in the afternoon that’s when I need to be doing things for my clients it’s a challenge
Yeah maybe for you, the morning and early afternoon is to do self-care or take care of stuff around the house so you can be motivated and energized enough to do your main work in the late afternoon/evening and be able relax after
Just found your channel - appreciate your work. Great tips. And seeing the Reformation Study Bible on your shelf helped earn a sub
so helpful, grateful for this Gabe!
I disagree about the whole perfectionism thing. Yeah, you want to be efficient and not get stuck in paralysis by analysis, but you want to avoid that nonsense where that ONE mistake just destroys all the work you got done and/or stops EVERYTHING until you address it.
1 minute habit: Sleep for 8 hours
i love shortform just signed up, before i knew about this app, i was reading and purchasing my books from amazon kindle and audible. thank you 🙂
You are wonderful. Your tips and positive habits helped me mucho today. Thank you for making this video.
Thank you for your content!
Thanks for watching 🙏
paying others less than you would charge for a task is simply exploitation. plus, as an employee, you are not allowed to outsource any of your work.
I would strongly disagree with that not every single person has the exact same skills and is worth the same amount as an accountant. I wouldn’t be worth a dollar an hour. Never mind 100 that I would pay somebody else. It’s literally creating jobs for people.
I honestly love my commute to work. Used to work from home (which was fine and does save money in the long run) but now I really appreciate the exercise on my bike and in the winter the time on the train to read, look out the window and calm down. I realize that is different to being stuck in traffic, so im very lucky to have public transportation
Brilliant as always.. like the Green, Yellow, Red and the focus on one thing first before moving my
"Don't focus on the staircase. Focus on the stair."
Hi Gabe, please put a trigger warning at the start, the flicking of the books can really be triggering for some of us. Thank you.
Haha I subscribed seconds before you asked us to subscribe 😊 really nice video, you mention some things I havent heard before
