Don't make it an excuse to just wait tho. It'll be no different than a person waiting for that one good motivation to start doing something positive like working out or something.
Best less-than-10 second habit I've implemented in my life; before dozing off to sleep I list of at least 3 things I'm gratefull for in my life. It's insane how much of a positive influence that small act has had on my mental health.
@@samienr this forgiving thing is the most hard thing for me, especially when what people did to me leave deep scars in my heart. I've tried but still hard.
it can even apply to roommates, parents, etc. My family and I (when I was living with them) always did that. If we were fighting in the evening we would say we love each other and say we're sorry and then the next day would try to resolve the issues.

@@mangos0uplov3r for me, a really, really good trick was to leave a glass of water by my alarm clock. I putt the alarm clock on the other side of the room, so I have to get up. As soon as I have turned the alarm off, I drink the water. Instant groggy feeling is gone and it is so much easier, to not just get back into bed. It worked for me anyway.

This is probably more geared towards contractors or entrepreneurs, but holy cow it works.

It's not weird. Matt's the big brother most people that struggle with something need. Someone who is giving advice by telling from experience and not simply shove down your throat.
What changed my life the most, making me really happy and increasing life quality: 1. meditate 15min every morning 2. reserve 1h for private ToDos each day BEFORE work 3. make your bed immediately after waking up 4. work out at least every 2nd day, drink loads of water, eat healthy and walk bare feet! =)
Matt... ever since I started watching your Chanel about a year ago, my life has improved SOOOO much. I only own things i actually use and need. A minimal life is the best life
matt. you are literally THE best lifestyle youtuber i’ve ever seen! your videos are always in top notch quality in terms of content, filming, editing, and all that other stuff i don’t know how to name. and the way you share your advice and content is exactly the way that makes people want to change. you’re realistic. you’ve been there so you know what it’s like and how hard it is to form habits and stick to them. i don’t know about anyone else but i never feel guilty while watching your videos and that’s because of the WAY you make them. amazing. keep up the fantastic work.

I appreciate the genuine recommendation for quality food. Investing in drinking clean, mineral water and eating organic pasture raised/grass fed/wildcaught foods has made a real difference in my health. It’s twice as expensive, but I know the animals were raised humanely on a farm eating quality foods and frolicking in the sunshine AND it tastes so much better and I feel so much better. My thyroid is very sensitive to halogens in the water supply, and I was able to heal hypothyroidism with quality water and seafood/fish after being a vegetarian for 10 years. When you can afford the quality option, slowly start integrating those options into your budget and diet wherever possible. An investment in local farmers and your health is nearly priceless.
Reddit post on small changes that seem simple but carry the biggest impact are: Changing your pillows to get better sleep and better neck, head support, having a designated place for your keys and wallet and doing 30 min of any kind of physical activity daily.
On the water thing: Don't know where this came from, but you _do not_ need 8 cups of water a day, individual needs vary widely. Drinking too much water can strip micronutrients and electrolytes from your system and leave you worse off. Drink when you're *_thirsty_* (by all means have water readily available when you are, which is Matt's point), and be sure to have plenty of sodium, potassium, chloride, and bicarbonate as these will help you from becoming dehydrated.
Just drink one liter to 1,5l per day depending on your job. Some manual workers definitely need more. The rest of the needed water you will literally eat it and get it from food
I swear to god my girlfriend drinks up to 3.5 litres of water everyday, while I'm at 1.5 or something. Edit: we are both similar weight and not overweight just saying
When it comes to "Don’t go to sleep angry at the people you care about", I think it depends. If you get frustrated or upset with your partner late at night, sometimes it could be better to get some rest and re-evaluate your feelings in the morning. Bringing it up when both of you are tired is much more likely to lead to an argument. If you give yourself some time to rest and calm down, it's often easier to have a calm and productive talk about it.
I agree.. if you’re both hot headed and speaking immaturely sometimes it’s a result from being too tired especially when you have kids! Sometimes it’s better to say ok you know what let’s just talk in the morning.. I still love you but I can’t empathize with you right now nor articulate my thoughts clearly
@@Sona.LS. yeah, I think you said something really important, and it’s taking ownership of processing empathy and emotions in the moment. BUT, the big piece is actually discussing it in the morning and dealing with it.
Matt you seriously inspire me so much! I recently started a business as a Freelance Filmmaker and your style of filmmaking has taught me so much. Thank you for the amazing content.
Move it further eg downstairs as long as you can hear it. Alternatively when I had problems with this I got an app called barcode alarm where you have to get up and scan a specific barcode (eg of your coffee container) to turn the alarm off . This worked for me really well.
Hey Matt! Thank you for another great video!! Just wanted to let you know that thanks to all of suggestions, I have finally started running this channel where I teach Italian and talk about language learning, and I've been doing it consistently for the past 8 months, something that I didn't think I could do!! Improvement really comes from very small tweaks in our everyday life, which is good because nobody needs to completely turn their life upside down in one day even tho we often think we need to! Keep going strong, 3M are so close and you deserve all of them!! Ciao from an English and Italian teacher in Italy :D
It's the small everyday decisions and habit that make success, not the "big" things you notice in other successful people. Those big things are just the cumulative effect of all the small things.
And “don’t sin by letting anger control you.” Don’t let the sun go down while you are still angry, for anger gives a foothold to the devil. Ephesians 4:26-27 NLT 4:18
I say COMPLETELY get rid of junk food, just replace them with healthier versions. Ice cream = Anabolic ice cream, which is protein powder or Greek yogurt, fruit, natural peanut butter or powdered peanut butter, artificial sweetener and a crap load of ice. Chips = Baked potato wedges, Soda = diet soda and the best part is that you can eat them every day.
Even if the change is small, any positive habit change can make a huge impact on your life in the long run. It's taken me awhile to add daily exercise into my life, but now I'm so grateful that I did.
“You become where your habits take you” -Terry Crews So true as well! Matt, you’re always a great place to start (and stay) when looking at implementing incremental changes and habits. You explain it so well and visually.... beautiful
The doing nothing tip sounds so weird and opposite from the hustle culture that’s ok the internet but it’s something that I did the other day and it felt amazing. Especially if you’re listening to cinematic music. I usually sit still and do nothing after I get done journaling and this works so well because after I empty my mind of the pages of my journal when I sit still and live in the present moment it feels so peaceful.
Indeed. Your body is usually very good at letting you know when to drink water. Excessive water consumption will result in most of it being pissed out, and in extreme cases, potentially fatal "water intoxication".
For me personally, not bringing alcohol and sweets into my home, is one of the best things I pay attention to lately. Also, getting over perfectionism is really important too. I am putting out my creative projects more and more easily. The worst thing to do, is thinking it has to be perfect before I put something out. That's why I finally started to upload stuff on TH-cam like my drum cover. If nobody sees it, then I haven't lost anything, but if only a few people enjoy it, I am happy!
Matt, one more thing about going to bed angry...I don't believe everyone can benefit from staying up to work things out. In fact, there's a large body of research that says many conflicts happen as a result of fatigue when we don't have our the mental clarity. Many psychologists recommend a more custom-made approach for couples who decide on a case basis and are free to sleep on it or stay up late until they hug it out. Hope that helps! P.s. You look just like Ryan from The Office...and your video made me miss that show.
Good comment, but what I think he means isn’t to solve the problem or to work things out before going to sleep, but to stop arguing and say that you’ll continue talking the next day or something like that, or say ok we are pretty tired right now let’s sort thing out tomorrow when we are on our right minds. For me it’s like imagine that person doesn’t wake up the next day you won’t feel bad or guilty that the last time you talked you argued of something that maybe even was insignificant
I've been doing the water-bottle-thing for the past 5 years or something, I don't even have to think about it... and it's amazing! I've started it because dehydration is a BIG Migraine-Trigger for me, so I started carrying water arround basically everywhere I go and it's been one of the most life-changing habits ever for me. 11/10 recomend it!! (It's great to hear it from someone like Matt, sometimes I felt a bit like a freak lol)
"Praise" folder has been helpful to me in years. Without the need to wait for yearly evaluation, I can always go back to winning moments and remind myself I can make I it through just like what I did before 🥰
I've had my phone on silence and my notifications disabled for the last two years. Something my partner suggested and I'll always cherish it. When I hear someone's phone ring it always catches me by surprise 😊 This is so aesthetically pleasing 🤤
I loved all your tips. In my life I have changed the habit of not going to bed angry. I prefer to table it and talk in the morning fresh Vs at night, get anxious, can't fall asleep and it's a vicous cycle
Every change on the timeline: 💻 (You are welcome!) 0:41 - Place your alarm on the opposite side of your bedroom 1:16 - Make a To Do List for personal Life too 2:10 - Create folders in your Inbox "Praise" 3:31 - Take a bottle of water everywhere! 4:21 - Never go to bed anger at your partner 5:16 - Heathy eating 6:20 - Stop brining Junk food at home 7:20 - Silent mode on phone 8:10 - Write a physical to do list 9:03 - Take 10 minutes to be still
About a year ago I started meditating for 10 minutes every day. This has been really the best change I’ve made in my life! (Right before corona hit lol)
I absolutely love and appreciate the addition of number 5. Almost made me cry. Holding on to negative feelings and unsolved problems in a relationship creates a terrible tension between two people. It’s sad to see and even worse to experience first-hand.
Thanks, matt really love your content and its good to know that there are people out there who are promoting a balance rather than a bullish side to life.
Thanks Matt, I’m doing something very similar and have based a lot of my habit-building on James Clear’s book Atomic Habits. I agree that identity-based change is more effective than just a focus on results.
Thank you, Matt, I'm watching your videos for almost 3 years, and they pushed me to do more for myself and by myself. Last New Year's Eve I went to Berlin by myself and it was a very good experience because before I made this trip, I thought I can't make a Trip alone and I need to make a Trip at least with another person. This Trip gave me a lot of motivation for this year and upcoming projects. Thank you
I have a metal bottle for a while and I’m very happy with it ✨ It really curbs need for snacks, reminds me to drink more, and I’m very relieved that I know I’m not throwing plastic bottles into the nature. It’s one of those changes which looks so little but actually huge.
I started silencing and turning over my film this year as I worked on a screenplay for my film postgraduate, and it really saved me so much time and stress. To take it one step further, disable a bunch of notifications so that even when you turn your phone over, your lock screen is blank.
I am 20 years old. Still in college.. i have the struggle of always needing to do something.. i always need to achieve something, it ruins my day. I cannot get stuff done because of it.. "am i doing enough? Am i happy with doing this?"
2:13 that praise folder gonna be a big fat dispiriting reminder for Matthew considering I've yet to receive praise through email . (also you make me glad to be a Matt, Matt)
Another food documentary that has helped me and is similar to the ones you mentioned: Hungry For Change. I re-watch it every year or so for some healthy reminders.
now that i make youtube videos on my own, i realized how incredible your videos are. so clean and simple and aesthetic and aaaaa very impressive!! even your voice is soothing. you have totally mastered your niche!
You are on my wall. What? On your wall? Yeah, Matt I have a picture of you in my wall. I chose my heroes wisely and you are one of them. Daily reminder of hard work with passion and that it is all possible. Props to you on staying consistent with quality content, humor and positivity. Much love, Kevin
My grandmother the day before me said " sometimes going to bed mad will save your marriage but make sure you write down everything about the argument so you can talk about you position when you are not exhausted"
Don't only put your phone upside down on silent! Put it out of the way! One of my colleagues told me to put my phone behind my laptop screen while I work, and that's one of the best pieces of advice I've heard
For those of you who dont typically receive praise via email (like me), you can just make a journal. I keep a praise journal and when someone praised me I will write it down.
Before sleeping I used to put my phone beside me, I wake up on the alarm and as usual take a snooze. Then I decided to put my phone on the shelf above my bed, so I get up and closd the alarm. When I get up to close it I feel like I can wake up and start my day rather than close the alarm while I'm on the bed and continuing sleeping. It's so helpful !!
Somehow I’ve recently actually did the similar thing to the “praise” category you mentioned in the video Matt. Instead of emails, I screenshots and save chats that my customers positive feedbacks and what they are happy about. I will then save those into a folder 📁 and it serves as a anti-self doubt folder and also testimonials folder. Thanks for the great video as always 🙌
The Praise Folder is brilliant- make sure to also keep a “brag book” of work you’ve done. Presentations, writings, pitches etc. Some people don’t want to just see praise, they want to see previous work product too. NOTE: Be very mindful of not sharing confidential data or violating NDAs. When in doubt, share work privately (over screen share) instead of emailing it. Always block out client names and obscure numbers.
Steer a ship 1 degree in a different direction, doesn't look big to start but over time you end up a in totally different place, it really is those constant daily habits that make the difference. Great video as always
You have added so much value. I will support you and your program, no matter what. Thank you for all the work you do to help us all be “better” people. Also, CONGRATULATIONS on LESS IS NOW. Such a huge fan of The Minimalists as well. Sharing with anyone that will listen, even if they don’t. I’ve been following a minimalist “lifestyle” for the last 4 years, with imperfections... Your videos continue to inspire and remind me of the life I truly desire. Wishing you and your wife, the very best.
I'm delighted to find I am already doing a handful of these things but there are definitely points on this list that I didn't consider before, cheers! ✌🏻
Haha, that looked so wrong to me too! I was taught (very) young to pour a Belgian beer for my Dutch dad who’d experienced the hunger winter (1944). And it wasn’t ever even an option to play with/ruin food (or stuff in general)!
Here’s the list. Which one do you want to work on next?
1. When you set your alarm before bed, put it on the other side of the bedroom.
2. Add one personal item to your work to-do list each day.
3. Keep a “Praise” folder in your email inbox.
4. Carry a water bottle with you everywhere you go.

I want to start one at a time.

Agreed! If you have the flexibility to do that it really helps with mood, productivity, motivation and of course tiredness
I never set an alarm but I also wake up at 4:30am no matter when I go to bed 😖
If I manage to go to bed at a said hour I can do this and it is amazing! But is not very easy to do if your not consistent with bedtime

matt. you are literally THE best lifestyle youtuber i’ve ever seen! your videos are always in top notch quality in terms of content, filming, editing, and all that other stuff i don’t know how to name. and the way you share your advice and content is exactly the way that makes people want to change. you’re realistic. you’ve been there so you know what it’s like and how hard it is to form habits and stick to them. i don’t know about anyone else but i never feel guilty while watching your videos and that’s because of the WAY you make them. amazing. keep up the fantastic work.
Smallest changes always have the biggest differences - get 1% better everyday people 💪

We have a saying in Czech that says: "Hunger is just undercover thirst." I totally agree... :)
And hunger is the best cook!
Bold of you to assume I won't go back to bed after getting my phone
Ha ha! I’ve done that! Especially on gym days.

Btw you're a big inspiration Matt. You're the one of the reasons I got into self development!
hey! seeing you in the comment section many days later!
Going to have to re-upload this :)
@@mattdavella Time to put this comment in the praise folder.
That will help a lot with relationships
These tips are so easy and I even feel stupid for never thinking about some of them before.
Implementation starts now!!
Thanks for the video
Thanks!! :)
Amen!!
@@mattdavella You're a champ!
I appreciate the genuine recommendation for quality food. Investing in drinking clean, mineral water and eating organic pasture raised/grass fed/wildcaught foods has made a real difference in my health. It’s twice as expensive, but I know the animals were raised humanely on a farm eating quality foods and frolicking in the sunshine AND it tastes so much better and I feel so much better. My thyroid is very sensitive to halogens in the water supply, and I was able to heal hypothyroidism with quality water and seafood/fish after being a vegetarian for 10 years. When you can afford the quality option, slowly start integrating those options into your budget and diet wherever possible. An investment in local farmers and your health is nearly priceless.
Reddit post on small changes that seem simple but carry the biggest impact are: Changing your pillows to get better sleep and better neck, head support, having a designated place for your keys and wallet and doing 30 min of any kind of physical activity daily.
On the water thing:
Don't know where this came from, but you _do not_ need 8 cups of water a day, individual needs vary widely.
Drinking too much water can strip micronutrients and electrolytes from your system and leave you worse off.
Drink when you're *_thirsty_* (by all means have water readily available when you are, which is Matt's point), and be sure to have plenty of sodium, potassium, chloride, and bicarbonate as these will help you from becoming dehydrated.
Just drink one liter to 1,5l per day depending on your job. Some manual workers definitely need more. The rest of the needed water you will literally eat it and get it from food
I swear to god my girlfriend drinks up to 3.5 litres of water everyday, while I'm at 1.5 or something.
Edit: we are both similar weight and not overweight just saying

How to wake up in the morning: have kids.
How to go to bed angry: have kids
Or a cat
How to wake up at night.
But what to do if I'm a kid
I guess I’m not committed enough to waking up early then yet
When it comes to "Don’t go to sleep angry at the people you care about", I think it depends. If you get frustrated or upset with your partner late at night, sometimes it could be better to get some rest and re-evaluate your feelings in the morning. Bringing it up when both of you are tired is much more likely to lead to an argument. If you give yourself some time to rest and calm down, it's often easier to have a calm and productive talk about it.
That one is really tough! I find myself going back and forth on that one.
I agree.. if you’re both hot headed and speaking immaturely sometimes it’s a result from being too tired especially when you have kids! Sometimes it’s better to say ok you know what let’s just talk in the morning.. I still love you but I can’t empathize with you right now nor articulate my thoughts clearly
@@Sona.LS. yeah, I think you said something really important, and it’s taking ownership of processing empathy and emotions in the moment. BUT, the big piece is actually discussing it in the morning and dealing with it.
That "praise" email folder proves how men never forget a compliment from years ago
Matt you seriously inspire me so much! I recently started a business as a Freelance Filmmaker and your style of filmmaking has taught me so much. Thank you for the amazing content.
What if you are the person that gets up, grabs your phone from across the room, and brings it back to bed to snooze? Asking for a friend.......
Oooh finally i found someone like me😪 i was looking for this comment 😂
I do that too... I can’t discipline myself
I would probably quickly sit down on the floor after grabbing the phone - if you snooze, snooze on the (hard) floor...
been there 😁
Move it further eg downstairs as long as you can hear it. Alternatively when I had problems with this I got an app called barcode alarm where you have to get up and scan a specific barcode (eg of your coffee container) to turn the alarm off
. This worked for me really well.
Hey Matt! Thank you for another great video!! Just wanted to let you know that thanks to all of suggestions, I have finally started running this channel where I teach Italian and talk about language learning, and I've been doing it consistently for the past 8 months, something that I didn't think I could do!!
Improvement really comes from very small tweaks in our everyday life, which is good because nobody needs to completely turn their life upside down in one day even tho we often think we need to!
Keep going strong, 3M are so close and you deserve all of them!!
Ciao from an English and Italian teacher in Italy :D
Cool project bro! ❤️
Nice! Always wanted to learn it, this might be my new habit lol
Thanks guys!! :D
You're so passionate about this!
It's the small everyday decisions and habit that make success, not the "big" things you notice in other successful people. Those big things are just the cumulative effect of all the small things.
Truuuth
And “don’t sin by letting anger control you.” Don’t let the sun go down while you are still angry, for anger gives a foothold to the devil.
Ephesians 4:26-27 NLT

I say COMPLETELY get rid of junk food, just replace them with healthier versions. Ice cream = Anabolic ice cream, which is protein powder or Greek yogurt, fruit, natural peanut butter or powdered peanut butter, artificial sweetener and a crap load of ice. Chips = Baked potato wedges, Soda = diet soda and the best part is that you can eat them every day.
Even if the change is small, any positive habit change can make a huge impact on your life in the long run. It's taken me awhile to add daily exercise into my life, but now I'm so grateful that I did.
“You become where your habits take you”

So true as well! Matt, you’re always a great place to start (and stay) when looking at implementing incremental changes and habits.
You explain it so well and visually.... beautiful
heyy... does that flip phone have an alarm?? ;)
For sure
Yes mine does actually;)
Yes and it takes 15 minutes to set lol.
@@AxxLAfriku troll...
@@AxxLAfriku I don't think Matt would watch your shit
The doing nothing tip sounds so weird and opposite from the hustle culture that’s ok the internet but it’s something that I did the other day and it felt amazing. Especially if you’re listening to cinematic music. I usually sit still and do nothing after I get done journaling and this works so well because after I empty my mind of the pages of my journal when I sit still and live in the present moment it feels so peaceful.
I have actually had to stop carrying a bottle because I started having to take a piss every 20-30 minutes. Don't start overhydrating.
Unless you wanna lose weight, cause it’s really good for that.
very rarely do people over hydrate, but it can be very dangerous
Good point.
Indeed. Your body is usually very good at letting you know when to drink water. Excessive water consumption will result in most of it being pissed out, and in extreme cases, potentially fatal "water intoxication".
It's what you do EVERYDAY that makes a difference! Preach, Matt!
For me personally, not bringing alcohol and sweets into my home, is one of the best things I pay attention to lately.
Also, getting over perfectionism is really important too. I am putting out my creative projects more and more easily. The worst thing to do, is thinking it has to be perfect before I put something out. That's why I finally started to upload stuff on TH-cam like my drum cover. If nobody sees it, then I haven't lost anything, but if only a few people enjoy it, I am happy!
Matt, one more thing about going to bed angry...I don't believe everyone can benefit from staying up to work things out. In fact, there's a large body of research that says many conflicts happen as a result of fatigue when we don't have our the mental clarity. Many psychologists recommend a more custom-made approach for couples who decide on a case basis and are free to sleep on it or stay up late until they hug it out. Hope that helps! P.s. You look just like Ryan from The Office...and your video made me miss that show.
ohhh it's a bit
@@PlaceboEllie auto-correct lol
Coming here to say this.
interesting perspective.
Good comment, but what I think he means isn’t to solve the problem or to work things out before going to sleep, but to stop arguing and say that you’ll continue talking the next day or something like that, or say ok we are pretty tired right now let’s sort thing out tomorrow when we are on our right minds. For me it’s like imagine that person doesn’t wake up the next day you won’t feel bad or guilty that the last time you talked you argued of something that maybe even was insignificant
Sometimes we think we are hungry but we are thirsty...
This guy is uttering pure gold..how
I've been doing the water-bottle-thing for the past 5 years or something, I don't even have to think about it... and it's amazing! I've started it because dehydration is a BIG Migraine-Trigger for me, so I started carrying water arround basically everywhere I go and it's been one of the most life-changing habits ever for me. 11/10 recomend it!!
(It's great to hear it from someone like Matt, sometimes I felt a bit like a freak lol)
every time matt uploads a video i just get so excited i dont even know why
Me tooo
I’m super excited to see how your switch to a flip phone turns out. It coincides with the alarm/ phone on the other side of the room too
"Praise" folder has been helpful to me in years. Without the need to wait for yearly evaluation, I can always go back to winning moments and remind myself I can make I it through just like what I did before 🥰
I've had my phone on silence and my notifications disabled for the last two years. Something my partner suggested and I'll always cherish it. When I hear someone's phone ring it always catches me by surprise 😊
This is so aesthetically pleasing 🤤
I loved all your tips.
In my life I have changed the habit of not going to bed angry. I prefer to table it and talk in the morning fresh Vs at night, get anxious, can't fall asleep and it's a vicous cycle
Every change on the timeline: 💻 (You are welcome!)
0:41 - Place your alarm on the opposite side of your bedroom
1:16 - Make a To Do List for personal Life too
2:10 - Create folders in your Inbox "Praise"
3:31 - Take a bottle of water everywhere!
4:21 - Never go to bed anger at your partner
5:16 - Heathy eating
6:20 - Stop brining Junk food at home
7:20 - Silent mode on phone
8:10 - Write a physical to do list
9:03 - Take 10 minutes to be still
About a year ago I started meditating for 10 minutes every day. This has been really the best change I’ve made in my life! (Right before corona hit lol)
So early man. I'm just trying to get my sh*t together as we speak and Matt uploads this video. What a legend. Lots of love bro!
I wonder what kind of people dislike such videos🙄. Matt, you have been a blessing giving us packets of motivation in each of your videos🙏.
I absolutely love and appreciate the addition of number 5. Almost made me cry. Holding on to negative feelings and unsolved problems in a relationship creates a terrible tension between two people. It’s sad to see and even worse to experience first-hand.
Thanks, matt really love your content and its good to know that there are people out there who are promoting a balance rather than a bullish side to life.
Matt, you have notifications enabled? TIME TO *MINIMIZE* THAT 😉
Hello there Kombi Life
Thanks Matt, I’m doing something very similar and have based a lot of my habit-building on James Clear’s book Atomic Habits. I agree that identity-based change is more effective than just a focus on results.

That book is amazing!!!
Identity Base changes is one of the most powerful ideas in the book.

Thank you, Matt, I'm watching your videos for almost 3 years, and they pushed me to do more for myself and by myself.
Last New Year's Eve I went to Berlin by myself and it was a very good experience because before I made this trip, I thought I can't make a Trip alone and I need to make a Trip at least with another person. This Trip gave me a lot of motivation for this year and upcoming projects. Thank you
I have a metal bottle for a while and I’m very happy with it ✨ It really curbs need for snacks, reminds me to drink more, and I’m very relieved that I know I’m not throwing plastic bottles into the nature. It’s one of those changes which looks so little but actually huge.
"never go to bed angry at your partner" what partner lmaoooooo im loneleee
Problem solved, right? Can't be nervous at them now

Sammeee. Ive been taking his advice for years and my life has gotten a lot better
Aw shucks :)
I started silencing and turning over my film this year as I worked on a screenplay for my film postgraduate, and it really saved me so much time and stress. To take it one step further, disable a bunch of notifications so that even when you turn your phone over, your lock screen is blank.
"You get paid a million dollars a year?!"
"You don't?"

Another food documentary that has helped me and is similar to the ones you mentioned: Hungry For Change.
I re-watch it every year or so for some healthy reminders.
now that i make youtube videos on my own, i realized how incredible your videos are. so clean and simple and aesthetic and aaaaa very impressive!! even your voice is soothing. you have totally mastered your niche!
You are on my wall. What? On your wall? Yeah, Matt I have a picture of you in my wall. I chose my heroes wisely and you are one of them. Daily reminder of hard work with passion and that it is all possible. Props to you on staying consistent with quality content, humor and positivity. Much love, Kevin
My grandmother the day before me said " sometimes going to bed mad will save your marriage but make sure you write down everything about the argument so you can talk about you position when you are not exhausted"
meditating has single handedly changed my life, and I am forever frustrated with all the stigmas around self-care
Meditation everyday is the most important habit you can devellop
Don't only put your phone upside down on silent! Put it out of the way! One of my colleagues told me to put my phone behind my laptop screen while I work, and that's one of the best pieces of advice I've heard
I like youre channel because you are a good influence on people
For those of you who dont typically receive praise via email (like me), you can just make a journal. I keep a praise journal and when someone praised me I will write it down.

Matt: "10 small changes".
Also Matt: putting just 8 things on the thumbnail.
Fed Up is the one thing that made me change my diet and life overnight, been feeling so much happier and in control!
Before sleeping I used to put my phone beside me, I wake up on the alarm and as usual take a snooze.
Then I decided to put my phone on the shelf above my bed, so I get up and closd the alarm.
When I get up to close it I feel like I can wake up and start my day rather than close the alarm while I'm on the bed and continuing sleeping.
It's so helpful !!
Thanks for your advices✔️

Somehow I’ve recently actually did the similar thing to the “praise” category you mentioned in the video Matt. Instead of emails, I screenshots and save chats that my customers positive feedbacks and what they are happy about. I will then save those into a folder 📁 and it serves as a anti-self doubt folder and also testimonials folder.
Thanks for the great video as always 🙌
Man, within 30 seconds your videos always inspire me and motivate me to do better, it's crazy.
Matt's empathy for others is just unbelievable!!!

beautiful shots eh, and he’d clean his phone before shooting. the video tells us to get off them but it makes them look so appealing 😂
@@lukel909 haha fact! The shimmer, the sleek look, wait I gotta check my Instagram!
Hahahaha true
The Praise Folder is brilliant- make sure to also keep a “brag book” of work you’ve done. Presentations, writings, pitches etc. Some people don’t want to just see praise, they want to see previous work product too. NOTE: Be very mindful of not sharing confidential data or violating NDAs. When in doubt, share work privately (over screen share) instead of emailing it. Always block out client names and obscure numbers.
Steer a ship 1 degree in a different direction, doesn't look big to start but over time you end up a in totally different place, it really is those constant daily habits that make the difference. Great video as always
You have added so much value. I will support you and your program, no matter what. Thank you for all the work you do to help us all be “better” people.
Also, CONGRATULATIONS on LESS IS NOW. Such a huge fan of The Minimalists as well. Sharing with anyone that will listen, even if they don’t. I’ve been following a minimalist “lifestyle” for the last 4 years, with imperfections...
Your videos continue to inspire and remind me of the life I truly desire.
Wishing you and your wife, the very best.
I'm delighted to find I am already doing a handful of these things but there are definitely points on this list that I didn't consider before, cheers! ✌🏻
Those tiny daily improvements have a compounding effect 😉
I'm trying to get better at meditating
Me too
6:30 good thing you stopped drinking beer if that is how you pour one
was thinking the same thing
Haha, that looked so wrong to me too! I was taught (very) young to pour a Belgian beer for my Dutch dad who’d experienced the hunger winter (1944). And it wasn’t ever even an option to play with/ruin food (or stuff in general)!
Come back to this beautiful chanel after many many months. Happy to see you again matt
