Mark wanted me to let you know that he's actually my older brother and that he doesn't appreciate it when I call him my little brother. Classic little brothers, am I right?
I'm working on productivity, so I've only watched the first 44 seconds of this video to save time and will be making my decisions based off of that. Thanks Matt!
I've been following your work for years now, but I still can't get over how precise and on-point your cinematography is. Truly a master of your craft, I can only aspire to get there someday!
Delegating has been really difficult for me and it’s mostly because of perfectionism too. The thing that helped me do it more was the realisation that “delegating a task doesn’t mean you’ve given up on it; it means that you’re unwilling to accept your own subpar work for that specific task and you know you someone else will do better.”
For me I’ve found that I overestimate what I can get done in a day or week and underestimate what I can get done in a month or quarter. I think that’s half the battle honestly is being realistic with how much you can do and make sure to focus on what’s gonna make the biggest impact long term.
Love how your morning routine actually starts with prepping the night before - from laying the clothes out to grinding the coffee! Packing my gym/ work bag the night before definitely helps me reduce the friction to head out early to the gym before work too. 👍
A true TH-camr would throw down an affiliate link to that butter and paper towels, so we can try and get on your level! 😆 This was a cool change of pace. Great video Matt!
I find it very inspiring how you set a dedicated amount of time for work but also for rest. Trust me, actively stopping yourself from working more is actually a very good quality, especially if you haven't finished everything on your to-do list. Plus, it makes the quality of one's work better
So great to see TH-camrs, especially in the productivity scene building teams to produce quality content. So many times people get afraid to hire or let in other people on their projects but making work easier is not slacking; it’s just making more time for the things we love. Good luck on the process Matt!……..Also, the SHIRT??!??!
Let’s be honest, you also like to geek out over clever ways to keep us entertained.😂❤️ I’m in awe of your talent and brain; it’s constantly coming up with content, it’s so inspiring. Any way you deliver it, we’re here for it. 🌞
Dear Matt, I don't know if you'll see this, but I still wanted to leave a comment. You've got no idea how much your amazingly creative and quirky videos have helped me in the last three months. I've lost almost everything and everyone I had... But your channel kept a smile on my face and inspired me to create more. My passion is painting and I hope one day I can show you some of my art which I'm making again only as a result of committing myself to paint every day for a little bit. Because as you always say "what you do everyday is better than what you do every once in awhile." Thank you, thank you for you sincere work, you are my favorite youtuber and I'm really excited to subscribe to your newsletter! Greetings from Lithuania :) and all the best
Thought we were about to see 13 minutes of Matt D’Avella jokes for a second there what a TREAT that would have been (enjoyed what we got instead, still)
It's so hard to find productivity content I can connect with as a working class gal, and though a lot of your tips still don't work for my specific lifestyle, your realness and positive energy really help me to think creatively about my own solutions. Thanks Matt 😊
I am way happier, more grateful and more tolerant with not being too productive after watching Matt’s real productive days. They’re inspiring, real and honest. You don’t have to cook the healthiest meals everyday, workout, or meditate pretending that you’re actually meditating while in reality you’re worried because you’re not producing anything while you’re meditating… even dancing is ok! Matt is great because he doesn’t pretend to be a machine. 🙏
Matt, I freaking love your style of storytelling. Best of luck with the new team! I'm really excited for you to take your next step with facing your fears of hiring and hopefully build a badass team :)
thank you for sharing! productive videos are so motivating but there is a catch. these type of videos use to make me feel guilty about my time, but I am also mom of toddlers with no help so I learned to not compare myself. So if you are like me and feel bad about yourself, don't compare yourself and learn to get inspired but the parts you can relate to. MUCH LOVE ❤❤
ATTENTION BROTHER!!! I have two very very sweet girlfriends who I show off (I smell like 100 not-alive orangutans oh nooo) in my perfectly great videos that most people consider to be the reason of life! Thank you for you attention, dear dude kid aron
I came to TH-cam and typed in productivity vlog and coincidentally you just uploaded this video lol. Just turned 21 and finally decided to go all in on working on stuff I am passionate about. So of course the biggest thing is self productivity. Good video, really let your personality shine through.
these are my favorite types of videos and your newsletter is amazeballs. It's always such a welcome addition to my in-box. Hugs from NYC to you and your beautiful Natalie!
Delete or delegate. Love this way to simplify and release the mental clutter from the day. I also like to put one of my goals BEFORE checking email and other external factors. Thanks for great content Matt.
Hey Matt, far from the Sahel region in Africa, I highly appreciate your video feeds and learn a lot from you. Keep up the good work. PS: we’re still waiting for your new apartment tour 😄
Loved the intro! I almost thought it's going to be a parody of some sort! You should do one full-length soon Matt!. And of course, I just subscribed to the snail mail! Can't wait. 🕺🏼
Hey Matt. Add to your TeuxDeux for Saturday, August 7th - Buy battery for kitchen clock. Unless you like it to be 2:54 all the time. 😄 Great vid as usual. Thanks
Always waiting for your uploads Matt, you have inspired me to improve my filmmaking skills and start a TH-cam channel, I am getting back at it. Thank you!
Slow Growth let’s go!! Just left my marketing agency to go full time content creation like Matt. I’m inspired, fired up, and can’t wait to become debt free! 💸
I think talking to people regularly is so important - there is so much happening between two people that cannot be written down but is important to keep the ball rolling.
One of the best decisions I made is to leave my phone downstairs when I go to bed and when I wake up to jump out of the bed right away instead of laying there for 15-30 minutes, cause that's when the junk starts to brew inside then mind. I noticed that what you do first thing in the morning has a huge impact on how the day will go.
Great idea of setting an alarm to finish work. Definitely going to start trying that. Subscribed to the SG newsletter when you launched and LOVE it! So many juicy pieces of content for a self-development junkie like me 🙏❤️
I love this video! I don’t know why maybe because I’m currently working from home and trying to find a way to be productive and many of those methods out there were great but I just couldn’t really stick to them? Be realistic it’s good! And I’m glad to see you talk about life in Sydney lol, here is the greeting from Canberra 😜 you look really chill in this video~
I love how you stop working at 2! ✌🏼 I’ve been ending work at 3 or 4pm (like school haha) and so far it’s been helpful for me to be more intentional with work/life balance (if that actually exists lol).
What a nice video Matt !! You nailed it as usual 👍🏻 the tabouli is pronounced tabouleh in Arabic and yes it is one of the most famous and delicious dish in all the arab countries 😋
The char is great chicken, there are also a bunch of amazing middle eastern style chicken shops out west that you should check out if these restrictions ever ease up. Excited for the snail mail 😄
Love the detailed showing of your day. I'd also have loved to see how you rest for what's left of the day or what you consider rest. Is it gym, walks, reading? Can that include learning? I find the rest part the hardest part of a day haha
It all clicked today. After watching this episode, I now understand it’s not about moving machine-like through the daily to-do list. One must improve on their skills to cleverly navigate and explain their procrastination. So much easier. I definitely need to get that easily changeable to-do list app for starters! Ha!
Mark wanted me to let you know that he's actually my older brother and that he doesn't appreciate it when I call him my little brother. Classic little brothers, am I right?
Thanks for the video
Wut a legend
mood
Keep up with the vids Matt! Love from the Philippines 🇵🇭
Otázka jak začít být produktivní (moc se mi teď nedaří)
I'm working on productivity, so I've only watched the first 44 seconds of this video to save time and will be making my decisions based off of that. Thanks Matt!
haha very funny
🤣
The best comment....even after 2 years!
How Is everyone ignoring the fact that Matt is wearing a SHIRT!
I know, right? I had to check to see if I was in the right channel!
Everyone is shocked and don't know what to say
THATS why he looked so weird
EXACTLYYY
Right?? Who is this guy? First a new t-shirt now a new shirt????
All jokes aside, this man took a bite out of a stick of butter for our entertainment. That’s dedication right there ladies and gentlemen
You look happier man. Glad to see that.
Yhh I noticed that, the past few videos have been a little bit dull.
I always thought that he was hit by depression
Dude
I'm totally not used to Matt suddenly changing his shirts 😂
Maybe in Australia shirts are cheaper than inthe US
@@bestineouya5716 def not the case haha. Although, we have some cheap t-shirts on par
@@garywallen8061 maybe the liking of cheap things has made this guy embrace minimalism. ha ha
I've been following your work for years now, but I still can't get over how precise and on-point your cinematography is. Truly a master of your craft, I can only aspire to get there someday!
Thanks my friend! :)
Delegating has been really difficult for me and it’s mostly because of perfectionism too.
The thing that helped me do it more was the realisation that “delegating a task doesn’t mean you’ve given up on it; it means that you’re unwilling to accept your own subpar work for that specific task and you know you someone else will do better.”
Even when you do it better then the person you hire, would you rather have 20 taks done 8,5/10 or 2 tasks 9,5/10?
Replacing "Why is this happening to me" with "what is this trying to teach me" is a game changer.
👏🏽
That's so inspiring...
Love that!
@NEW "what is this trying to teach me?"
For me I’ve found that I overestimate what I can get done in a day or week and underestimate what I can get done in a month or quarter. I think that’s half the battle honestly is being realistic with how much you can do and make sure to focus on what’s gonna make the biggest impact long term.

Aw thanks Mary that really means a lot :)
I read "I'm in awe of your toilet" instead of talent... I think I need a nap

That’s a great passion. Keep it up so it becomes a discipline so the work continues when the passion subsides!
Thought we were about to see 13 minutes of Matt D’Avella jokes for a second there what a TREAT that would have been
(enjoyed what we got instead, still)
He filmed himself importing footage then had to import said footage again. Nice
Twas a conundrum!
Meta D'Avella
Or he filmed a random SD card being put into the card reader. Then turned off the camera and imported all footage.
Rumor has it he is still importing and filming, then importing and filming, caught in a loop.
@@vitaminb4869 probably, but that doesn’t make for a very funny comment hahahah
i also eat a stick of butter in the morning 🧈
Me too actually 😂😂😂😂
I eat my sticks of butter before my workouts. MAXIMUM EFFORT 🏋🏽♀️!
Butter Squad in the building! 🧈
I was like….he’s eating a stick of butter!!!!!!
@@mattdavella lol @ butter squad
It's so hard to find productivity content I can connect with as a working class gal, and though a lot of your tips still don't work for my specific lifestyle, your realness and positive energy really help me to think creatively about my own solutions. Thanks Matt 😊
This guy man, he makes everything feel a lot less complicated. Very soothing to watch these videos, my brain says thank you!
I love these productivity videos I watch them all day ❤️

Matt’s productivity is teaching other people to be productive….

Love the popping noise at 6:51. The little things in life, that is what it's about.
Delete or delegate. Love this way to simplify and release the mental clutter from the day. I also like to put one of my goals BEFORE checking email and other external factors. Thanks for great content Matt.
He just changes his shirt, and now I got a whole new channel to enjoy! Such a master of productivity - one kill !!
In my experience, the best way to be more productive/arouse some energy is "simply" to remove obstructions. A happy person has a lot of energy
Am I the only subscriber from Nepal who never miss Matt's video.....Lots of love Matt from the country of Buddha along with huge respect.
I'm watching this productivity video to deliberately procrastinate and avoid doing the things I need to do.
Thanks for talking through things in your videos, since I sometimes can’t be exactly watching. Great to still hear and learn your tips!
Lol you had me at “I just eat a stick of butter.”- he’s a man after my heart
U really transformed Matt from being minimalist to becoming a productive person
U are now a good friend of Ali Abdall
😂👍
Hey Matt, far from the Sahel region in Africa, I highly appreciate your video feeds and learn a lot from you. Keep up the good work.
PS: we’re still waiting for your new apartment tour 😄
Man, you look happier and more exited than before. Happy for you, Matt!
okay i need to say this but how cute he looks in the thumbnail 😭😭
Thanks for letting us see behind the scenes of your hiring process and for the funny beginning of this video.
Loved the intro! I almost thought it's going to be a parody of some sort! You should do one full-length soon Matt!. And of course, I just subscribed to the snail mail! Can't wait. 🕺🏼
Just wanna say nice shirt, and i love how interactive you’re being in this video’s comment section ♥️
also 6:22 best moment 😂 you crack me up bro
Hey Matt. Add to your TeuxDeux for Saturday, August 7th - Buy battery for kitchen clock. Unless you like it to be 2:54 all the time. 😄 Great vid as usual. Thanks
False: Productivity is doing more stuff.
True: Productivity is optimising your ability to get from where you are now, to where you want to be.
Okay, he stopped being a minimalist and is now a certified productivity expert 😂
😅✌
I can’t wait to use the productivity tips in my life! 💫 Keep rising to be who you want to be! 💫 #keeprising #risingtobe #aswerise #riser
“Speaking with other people, you know what, it, it’s good.” No truer word has spoken by someone in lockdown. Stay safe fellow Sydneysider!
This video is reminding me how much I need to start outsourcing 😅
😂😂😂😌 i Get it.
I really love the energy and motivation in this video. Thank you for creating it!
The video we all need: how do you keep your fridge so clean??! Can we get a video on minimalism in grocery shopping/food storage?
finally, you uploaded!
surprised he hasn't mentioned that SYD have been in a lockdown for weeks now. as a Melbourne viewer I know how much that can effect your productivity.
Always waiting for your uploads Matt, you have inspired me to improve my filmmaking skills and start a TH-cam channel, I am getting back at it. Thank you!
Slow Growth let’s go!! Just left my marketing agency to go full time content creation like Matt. I’m inspired, fired up, and can’t wait to become debt free! 💸
10:50
That's what I do when nobody's around and I'm already overstretched with everything that's been going on.
Great video btw.
I think talking to people regularly is so important - there is so much happening between two people that cannot be written down but is important to keep the ball rolling.
Great video Matt! The 8 hr alarm for work is spot on 🍾
00:51 the view out your window is very lit. the netted sunbeams remind me of a summer I never had in Australia.
You will find a lot of people around you who hate you.. not because you are bad, but because you are special ❤
“Start 30days of yoga” on your to-do list makes me excited! waiting for this one now! - indian who doesn’t do yoga 🙈
One of the best decisions I made is to leave my phone downstairs when I go to bed and when I wake up to jump out of the bed right away instead of laying there for 15-30 minutes, cause that's when the junk starts to brew inside then mind. I noticed that what you do first thing in the morning has a huge impact on how the day will go.
I Love You Matt!! ❤️
Yess! Olympian style effort becoming one of the first to comment on a D'Avella video! Productive... I think so!
Great idea of setting an alarm to finish work. Definitely going to start trying that. Subscribed to the SG newsletter when you launched and LOVE it! So many juicy pieces of content for a self-development junkie like me 🙏❤️
Thanks for inspiring me and keep the daily practice of productivity doable.
30 day yoga challenge! excited for this video!
Always looking forward to these videos! ❤
You seriously inspire me. Phenomenal video, Matt!
Love the new shirt color!
Recently subscribed to your newsletter, looking forward to it!
I love this video! I don’t know why maybe because I’m currently working from home and trying to find a way to be productive and many of those methods out there were great but I just couldn’t really stick to them?

It was great to see Mark in this video, he is absolutely amazing and such a huge help to the slow growth community! 🙌🏼
This video have the old school vibe from Matt's older video. Glad that you were able to start to delegate some stuff, you do seem happier!
The shirt looks spectacular on you Matt
I love how you stop working at 2! ✌🏼 I’ve been ending work at 3 or 4pm (like school haha) and so far it’s been helpful for me to be more intentional with work/life balance (if that actually exists lol).
I love the introduction 🤣 I definitely subscribe to that newletter ! Keep up the good work, it is amazing.
So good! Looking forward to the newsletter!!!
What a nice video Matt !! You nailed it as usual 👍🏻 the tabouli is pronounced tabouleh in Arabic and yes it is one of the most famous and delicious dish in all the arab countries 😋
I just subscribed to the newsletter, I'm so excited! thanks for all you're doing
Really liked the advice about setting the alarm for stop working 👍 Thanks.
Its Awsome How much Details you show in your Videos!
Your video's are really motivational and helpful. Keep it up!
Just in time when I was wrapping up this video, your newsletter came up on my inbox loooool
A lot of time without such a real old Matt video
Thanks. Working from home is burning me out. This is inspiring and helpful.🧡
The char is great chicken, there are also a bunch of amazing middle eastern style chicken shops out west that you should check out if these restrictions ever ease up. Excited for the snail mail 😄
Awesome video Matt :) Very useful, especially now when a lot of people work from home
Love the detailed showing of your day. I'd also have loved to see how you rest for what's left of the day or what you consider rest. Is it gym, walks, reading? Can that include learning? I find the rest part the hardest part of a day haha
⬆️Hey mate
Thanks for watching have something to share with you
hit me up.
🚀 🚀 🚀 🚀
I love the vibe brother! Just checked where you came from & its truly inspirational! Cheers =D
Matt: "and now that it's 5 pm, its now time to get to work"
me: who dis?
🤗 That was funny 😁
The editing is next level .
These types of honest videos are cool!
Plz make a video about how u enjoy ur day after finish work!❤❤❤
It all clicked today. After watching this episode, I now understand it’s not about moving machine-like through the daily to-do list.

I love this😩💕💕💕
I love use TeuxDeux for my to do list. Thank you for sharing this apps!
That's truly a great video! Productivity is about knowing aos limits as well
This is going to be the best start of a day in my life. Btw, your shirt looks amazing on you!
Loved that opening! So fun!
