1. Track your task time manually. 2. Get clear on your priorities (preferably by a paper list) 3. Batch your tasks effectively 4. Learn to say "no" (to distractions) 5. Use deadlines
Although “rest” has bad rap in the productivity world, “rest” is one of the most significant yet under appreciated methods of balancing your energy. Deliberate periods of rest are a great way of clearing your foggy mind to focus with intensity on your work. In the context of productivity, this would be a great video.
It would also be very useful and valuable to distinguish between activities in rest and entertainment. e.g meditation vs. watching TH-cam. The latter is not helpful with resting the mind, it's more like a force shut off and can even backfire if you end up watching more in depth videos, which I do for fun but can easily overdo, especially when overworked and ready for a break. And that kind of entertainment is merely the illusion of rest.
One really good question I like to ask myself before taking any commitments; "If I wasn't offered this opportunity would I have sought out doing it myself?" Helps me choose the really important stuff.
Overcommitting myself is how I keep myself from wasting time. Like I have a part time job and don’t get home on most school nights till 8, so I know that I don’t really have time to procrastinate on my homework. On my days off, I tend to procrastinate and waste time and start my homework at basically the same time. So if you don’t have free time you won’t waste your time because you don’t have any time to waste.
Kudos to you! I have found that doing the same thing to a certain extent also helps; but before that a certain level of self-discipline is required, and I think a lot of people need to work on that first. In an odd way, discipline is liberating. Just my 2 cents :D
“Remember that time is money.” - Benjamin Franklin The best way to stop wasting time : - Prioritize Put to-do’s in 4 groups: 1- Urgent and important 2- Not urgent but important 3- Urgent but not important 4- Neither urgent nor important The goal is to have as few things under “urgent and important” as possible. Those cause stress when they pile up. If you manage your time well, you’ll probably spend most of your time on “not urgent, but important” -- that’s where you can get the most useful things done and keep from feeling overwhelmed later.
A little addition to the final tip that has really helped me: if you have difficulties setting your own deadlines, either because you don't know how long it will realistically take you to do something or because you just don't honor them (I find it hard to cram in the long work sessions I usually have for an external deadline if it is one I set myself), try deciding how many hours you want to dedicate to this task each week instead. This also allows you to take some time off when you've reached your hour-count, so you don't have to quit netflix or videogames all together but don't have to feel guilty about it either
I didn't give the point about saying 'no' much thought when you mentioned it, I've heard about this in the past but I realise now that it's a very powerful reason for why we procrastinate. If we have too many goals, you end up sitting around worrying about remembering everything you have to do rather than sitting down and starting to do at least something but more importantly, the things you prioritised for yourself.
I know I'm not the only one that slacks on work to watch Tom Frank videos, but I just wanted to say THANK YOU for giving me the little nudge I need to get the domain I wanted before I lost it! Well, technically my preferred name was taken, but like you I added a middle initial and it was available, so I'm happy! (And yes, if you're wondering, I used your code :) ) Love your content, have been a binge-watcher for 3 years now!
I don't know if you saw my previous messages but THANK YOU THOMAS for bringing so many of your lovely subscribers to my video "Kupla - You're beautiful" through your music playlist.
Thomas! I love you man for what u do for my life. I play u in the mornings and in the background doing chores. Your channel is chicken soup for my sometimes unmotivated soul.
Tomas Frank, I really just wanna let you know that I'm a big, big fan. I'm brazilian and I use your channel just to learn English and your tips are so great. Thank you!
I don't always find the best advice from you Tom, but seeing the Llama with the "deal with it glasses" and the musical sting makes me feel like you have a singular vision for your channel. And this is good advice. Keep it up friend.
These tips are quite helpful. For batching errands I have a CGGL (computer generated grocery list) with space on it for listing errands. The night before "errand day" I number the errands in order to be done to save time and gas. As for "saying no" , I did so once because I thought someone else could do the job better and it allowed me to do something else to move an organization forward; I never regretted that decision.
That "low-density fun" video of yours really helped me manage my time better, and enjoy myself nonetheless. Procrastination is the biggest enemy of time management for the average person.
@@SimonWoodburyForget but how is that related to being a procrastinator at all? Procrastination is constantly putting work off, delaying it, wasting time. Being "productive" is getting important things done. What separates productivity from procrastination is the fact that productivity naturally comes with a reward, procrastination does not.
@@SimonWoodburyForget who the hell cares about _someone else_ here? We're talking about our own selves. Everyone wants to achieve something in their life and they need to work hard in order to achieve it. When I say I need to stop procrastination, I mean it from MY perspective, not yours because your perspective doesn't matter to me anyway. It shouldn't matter to me because you are not me, right? I agree with what you're trying to say but it's really not relevant here. You should be utilizing your time in this world positively, you should be productive in a way that suits you and your goals, you can't just call it procrastination because someone else has different goals from you and they're telling you you're wasting your time.
@@SimonWoodburyForget oh darn, sir, do you really not have any life goals? Let's suppose you don't have any goals at all. What about small steps towards a more organised and less miserable life? Homework? Grocery shopping? Making dinner? Cleaning your work space? These are small things almost all of us have to do. Instead, we can choose to spend times on our phones. Should we though?
I read in some book that a way to say no was something along the lines” I’m honoured but I don’t have the time to give it that it deserves so I must decline/that you ask someone else” Depends on what it is, but I liked the ”deserve”, making it clear that appreciate the event or whatever and want it done in the best way which you unfortunately can not because previous commitments. Anyways, Thanks for the tips:)
*You can be as productive as you want, but if there’s no PROGRESS then that productivity is a waste* Thank you for this though! Winny out... _for now_ 😉

Thomas, THANK YOU SO MUCH for helping me find the solution that (FINALLY) works for me! I've tried so many ways and kept forgetting to turn it on/off until your method of Toggl - now I can see my time spent properly.
Junior year, first semester: I did EXACTLY the same thing. Ended up not attending classes and in turn lowering my self esteem because of lack of productivity. I'm taking extra commitments for the next semester to avoid just that.
Ok oh my god the universe HAS TO BE SPEAKING TO ME As you mentioned the death bed regret topic I always have the same answer “resume singing lessons” and I HAPPEN to pick the video on TH-cam talking about time management where the speaker has the SAME answer as me?! Like SINGING lessons is something I put off due to many reasons but something I know I need to start over again and before you even said it, I thought of singing lessons the moment I saw heard/saw the death bed regret saying. Like literally so often, I think something g that is spoken by someone or a song in my head appears on shuffle or Spotify radio, I see the road sign of the word that was just in my head, I am CONVINCED I am on the right path with so many things clicking together Synchronicity
I watched this video at the perfect time! I constantly feel like I'm running out of time. Saying no is a challenge for me. How do you frame it politely but firmly?
When talking about saying no, I find it really hard to say no to valuable videos like this one!! I say to myself "Oh, just one more, it's only 13 minutes, and then you go back to the other activities!!! Anyone else shares this "addiction"?
I hate wasting time but i still do. It's in my inner self. Controlling that requires a lot of will power. But still it's possible. Believe me the feeling of being in the process of doing something meaningful and result are awesome.
I’d like to thank you for helping me through your videos in becoming more productive! I’ve done a few things differently but original ideas originate from you!
0:49 Interesting this is one of the few interestingly quotes that I dont understand the meaning behind/dont understand honestly - business to me is good?

Yep, time tracking is a good idea to manage tasks and make a retrospective after that. As an alternative to manual managing tasks, I've chosen time-tracking apps. As for me, tmetric.com app matches all productivity issues, I can see my daily progress in real-time, analyze and evaluate my profitability.
Tracking time is always helpful but it really stresses me out. to write down how much I've spent on every task, to always check my calendar to see what the next task is, to report my daily progress. this reporting and tracking of everything make me really stressed and overwhelmed. like someone is chasing me all the time. I can't even have fun if I know I have 30 mins break. it is not that it is little but I'll just keep waiting for the 30 mins to finish and won't enjoy anything.
I feel the same, too. Another productivity video I saw on youtube seemed more suitable. You create time blocks, say of 3-4 hours. So, minus the 8 hour sleep, the 16 hours can be divided into 4-5 blocks. Maybe the first one for morning daily chores like brushing, bathing and some form of exercise. The good thing about this a you have an idea of what to do but you're not bound by it. For example, exercise is the broad category. One day, it could a morning walk, the other day Yoga. Another time block could involve going out. It could involve meeting friends/clients for a coffee or for shopping and running errands. (This could also be bunching of similar tasks or location as he said. )
I wan to be part of Pedro’s team! I didn’t know until now that I need Pedro’s House of Cards version! Thomas you are like Disney, Pixar and Marvel combined with those cameos.
Started using toggl before watching this video, seriously, best time tracking app. You could use siri shortcut, so much more convenient than the other ones.
Hi Tom, Could you please talk about how do you teach your self? I know that you're a content creator and you have 2 other podcasts in addition to this channel. So, it'd be helpful to share your learning style. Thank you
I do enjoy your videos and have learned quite a bit from them but here in particular you introduce so many apps and ways to time-manage your time that counters what message you are trying to spread. People will most likely waste their time tinkering with the software and thinking they are organising their time in the app whilst not actually getting to the point of doing it. This wastes time too.
"Whether you already know you're wasting it, because you're a couch potato" ouch 😭 But I am trying to change :) that's why I'm here. Thanks for your videos Thomas! ❤️
Time management can be really hard for me. I tend to get everything I want to get done in a day, but usually not in the order or amount of time I expected. I'll have to try the timer app. It will be interesting to see how long tasks really take me. I do feel motivated when there's a stopwatch going!
Watched your videos on russian before (cz im from russia), but since today ill watch your main channel to practice my english (eureka), this was the first and not so easy to understand all things, but in russian is a saying "Its hard on training but its easy on fight" so im on)) ps. thx for your videos, rly usefull i think!

This was a well done video. Many of the concepts are similar to topics in Greg McKeowin's book Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less
I love all your Douglas Adams references throughout your videos.
Hi Tom, Could you please talk about how do you teach your self? I know that you're a content creator and you have 2 other podcasts in addition to this channel. So, it'd be helpful to share your learning style. Thank you
Right buddy, nice piece of advice
I do enjoy your videos and have learned quite a bit from them but here in particular you introduce so many apps and ways to time-manage your time that counters what message you are trying to spread. People will most likely waste their time tinkering with the software and thinking they are organising their time in the app whilst not actually getting to the point of doing it. This wastes time too.
what editing software do you use? I a WINDOWS software to use for my website...Thanks for all your work
"Whether you already know you're wasting it, because you're a couch potato" ouch 😭 But I am trying to change :) that's why I'm here. Thanks for your videos Thomas! ❤️
Would like to know more about that 'deep twerk' tho 😂
Love this video❤
The best time to get started is yesterday; the next best time is now.
thanks for video , I have a Q: waht is that tool u are using to manage the tasks . thanks again )
Thank You respectfully
I was sitting my car in a parking lot. This video couldn't have came at a better time.
Love these videos❤️❤️
Time management can be really hard for me. I tend to get everything I want to get done in a day, but usually not in the order or amount of time I expected. I'll have to try the timer app. It will be interesting to see how long tasks really take me. I do feel motivated when there's a stopwatch going!
Watched your videos on russian before (cz im from russia), but since today ill watch your main channel to practice my english (eureka), this was the first and not so easy to understand all things, but in russian is a saying "Its hard on training but its easy on fight" so im on)) ps. thx for your videos, rly usefull i think!
This channel is so underrated
Amazing video, it's useful Thanks.
The fake calendar items at 0:42 are great :)
"Yes, it seems that most of us are perpetually rocked by at least a little bit of guilt over the amount of time we spend scrolling through netflix.."
*Me:* or scrolling through youtube just to find that one Thomas Frank Video. -_-
