"...there are no boundaries between work and home which lead to overworking or never working." Wow this hit me hard. Thanks for this great upload yet again!
Hey Matthew, thanks for making this. Yes these things are easy at first to do the work from home. Boundaries seems to be easy and still normal. But aftertime it is strting to get blur so like what you've said, over worked or never worked. This is trully inspirational and sync with my personal lifetime situation right now. Once again, thanks!
So thankful for some of the cultural shift away from "hustle harder" culture that used to dominate everywhere. This video and leisure as fuel is so much healthier. It's not a matter of wanting to be less productive but rather prioritizing health in all forms above working ourselves into the grave. Beautiful video!
This is exactly what I needed to see and hear going into 2022. The last few months of 2021 were an unorganized blur and I wasn’t looking forward to jumping back into that mess after the holidays. But after some downtime I’ve been able to recharge and now I’m excited to put your suggestions into practice. Also, the video was shot extremely well as always and excellent choice on the Keychron K7 👀
This video is so timely. I’ve been struggling with the same things you mentioned in the beginning of the video. So much value packed in one video and also shot so well. Thanks for all the hard work you put into this Matthew!
At this stage in my life having a a crazy schedule running an indie studio, trying to stay green with learning, finding time for hobbies, raising two children, and trying to stay sane...I can attest to need to disconnect and do mindless things. It's not just valuable, it's necessary. Excellent video as always Matthew.
Dude, I love this video. I started reading Essentialism because of you and I can already connect what you're saying in this video to that book. It's truly amazing to see how little changes can have massive impact, and you're a living and breathing example of it. Looking forward to more of your content in the future. Cheers to a new year soon!
I am determined to get distractions out of my life during the work day. Your tips are very helpful. Small timer and shutting off notifications are going to be the first changes I make to my routine. Great video as always.
I see you using a keychron low profile... If you want, I'd gladly build you a commissioned custom. I think that would be the cherry on top of your setup.
Matthew, such a great video! I love the helpful ideas and your peaceful delivery of them against the beautiful Santa Monica backdrop. So excited that you have found your rhythm and are gracefully moving towards your goals. My favorites insights were: 1) Your environment can support your focus. This is a Feng Shui principle that some people overlook. 2) Distance = perspective. As you so aptly state, giving your brain space helps connect the dots and illuminates the bigger picture 3) Knowing your body and it's cycles of energy. This definitely supports me in not scheduling sessions late in the afternoon when my energy is low. I have a tip for balancing working from home so they don't blend ;-) KIDS! I focus on them until I get them off to school, then shift the focus to me. I prioritize exercise, then I work fairly intensely with clients from 10am-4pm when my KIDS get home. I take eating and mindful Matcha latte breaks in between -- but after they are home, I shift my focus back to them. If there's an extra project I need to focus on, I use the weekends b/c I don't feel burned out from the week. So, kids are a great and supportive boundary! LOL. Love you and love the work you are doing, Matthew. Fantastic.
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing your insights and helping to give me some perspective in my own journey. Really great bonus tips in regards to family 👌🏽 Hope you’re well. We need to catch up!
I love the phrase "work less. " It shifts the dynamic completely; allowing one to assess if a task is truly meaningful, and whether or not you're taking the optimized steps within the time frame given. Love it!
AH MAI GAWD - lol, I have restarted this video 3 times now - because I keep getting DISTRACTED! Imagine that... ok, fully focused now. Closed all windows.
Man these videos are so good. I’ve been struggling with motivation as a recent college grad. I’ve been getting many rejections from software companies because competition is very strong, but this video gave me a boost to start managing my time again and keep working and improving to hopefully land something soon.
Thank you Matt, for such a wonderful, valueable content. This helped me be more productive by doing less and make time for myself. Especially now as I commit being a full-time freelancer. Thanks again buddy!
Productivity has been such a struggle for me and it’s become especially highlighted after starting a RUclips channel. The amount of time and tasks required has been eye-opening to say the least 😅 I can always use a reminder to slow down. Awesome video man!
As a Christian creative, daily time with Jesus in the morning helps center me to start the day. That sets the tone, helping me move throughout the day with Him on my mind. This fuels my creativity, as I seek to pour truth, grace and beauty in to my work for the glory of God and the good of my fellow human.
A Great video one of my faves. It's funny as a musician artist and video maker I have worked at home for years. I use to go to outside studios when I had a record and publishing deals. But most of the time I was home. Now I believe it or not I have two desks(one for me and my Partner) at WeWork so I can be focused on certain tasks like simple video editing social media and business stuff. I still do most of my creating at my home studio but the Wework does help me focus. This video we great I'm going to try some of your tips
Hey Matthew, Great and shill video, as always. I would love to see how you use the 5-Minute Journal, as I am a user myself, as well as how you Think about "Your Compass," some of us are young creatives or strive to be, and might not have a clear understanding of what our compass should be or which direction it should point. I assume this comes with experience, what energies us at work, etc... Kindest regards, Chris
Funny that all my distractions kept me from watching this, even though I saw the notification weeks ago. Luckily, RUclips’s algorithm bumped it to the top again. 😅 For me, #1 cause to not getting work done- distractions! They are everywherreeee. The days I turn on Focus mode, and avoid checking news - I feel super productive. Thanks so much Matt, please keep up the awesome work. I would love if you explored the energy aspects of modern work/life balance. Given that a majority of people may WFH permanently - finding the time to refuel, being in right mindset, finding new passions/hobbies- I think these may need to be inspired from outside our homes, particularly for those in apartments. Food for thought. 🙂
New title: " Productivity Tips - Work Less. Do More. Make Time, IF you work from home, NOT if you work at retail, or hospitality or delivery services" a bit long, I know.
Hi Matthew! Thank you for being so informative and inspiring! Can I ask what your current favourite reads are? Or do you have any books you recommend that inspire productivity/creativity? Much love from Australia!
As always, great content. Just purchased the wallpaper as well. Matt - can you recommend a disc bound notebook? The one you're using looks sturdy. Most of the ones I've tried fall apart. Thanks!
Thank you! The notebook I use is from Grovemade (linked in the description). Had it for about a year. Very solid and has refillable pages.

Thanks for your really good content. I really appreciate the time and work you put into your videos! I say hi from Munich, Germany to you. P.S - I am also Filipino :)
Hey Matt! I just noticed you're not using your Logitech MX Master keyboard any longer. I switched myself to a mechanical keyboard as well and I know why I love using one but I'm interested to know why you chose to switch to one?
Thanks for this video Matthew! I am a fellow Pinoy animation designer and appreciate this especially in Covid times. Would you also be willing to share any of your file organization methodology? Thanks!
Great video. I have a similar approach. But specifically, I use 1.5hr Jazz/hip hop music/videos for my working sprints. Once the music stops it’s time for a quick break.
Hello Matthew～I‘ve been following each of your videos for a long time and I am very inspired. Are there any recommendations for books or videos on storytelling skills?
Another amazing video. I loved these videos since they are so well done, so professional and inspiring. Btw, my nerdy side asks this: what keyboard are you using there? Kudos for the video and looking forward to see more. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks, this video really helped me. These days i'm submerged by homework and i needed a way to organize my different tasks. You really helped me, thank you so much and happy new year.
Thanks so much for this video ! I love your tips and energy. Now I am a solo entrepreneur myself, I really need to get back to tips like this, to refuel me.
It’s 3am and I am benge watching all of your videos. You are now one of my favorite youtubers. I love your visuals and storytelling. I’m a videographer in Louisiana and is inspired so much by your content. You’ve gained a faithful follower. 😊
Wow, your video quality, your storyline, content and the whole video was "soothing" educational and interesting all in one! I'm new to your chanel and this is my first time seeing your video's. Im now curious to know who you are, and want more.
Thanks a lot Matthew! Well i´m in a terrible disorder.. i´m a graphic designer that likes the wood work, so i have a workshop (which at this time is priority money earning) also i have a cutting graving laser machine ... which is not working cause i need to set the space for it... so i would like to have this three spaces in order. Thank you for your videos and all resourses.
Why in the hell do I get so excited that you dropped a new video? I thought my coffee was good this morning. Gosh, your videos must be that good. Great video Matt!
As always, such a great and flawless video, makes me feel so calm and inspired I immediately started organizing my desk and cleaning the surroundings lol. Didn't see the monitor you use on you gear list. Does anyone has a clue?

Needed this video today. Been struggling to start an important personal project this whole week. Locking it in for a good work sprint.
Do it.

That's wonderful to hear!

Beautiful video!
Absolutely. Put in quality, whether work or leisure, and be intentional about what you do.
So many good tips and beautifully shot video!
Thanks Derek. Good to see you here. Happy holidays friend!

"Leisure is fuel" is a great saying!
This was awesome Matthew! I've definitely been learning this from a lot of the books I've read this year (Deep Work and others). Thanks!
What other books do you recommend?
At this stage in my life having a a crazy schedule running an indie studio, trying to stay green with learning, finding time for hobbies, raising two children, and trying to stay sane...I can attest to need to disconnect and do mindless things. It's not just valuable, it's necessary. Excellent video as always Matthew.
Sounds like a lot to juggle, but you're doing it. Cheers
Fantastic video. Well done. Thanks for all the hard work you put into this.
Thanks
Dude, I love this video. I started reading Essentialism because of you and I can already connect what you're saying in this video to that book. It's truly amazing to see how little changes can have massive impact, and you're a living and breathing example of it.
Looking forward to more of your content in the future. Cheers to a new year soon!

Thanks Maisy. Happy Holidays!

What do you use to stay organize for project management? And clients folder structure 😊
Notion.
Sometimes I wish your videos would never end. It's a different kind of therapy 🌻

You're welcome Eyel!
Waching this video, when I should be working. 6___6. Great content, nonetheless.
Hey bro, your channel is helping so many people to work smart.....
Glad I could help
Productivity has been such a struggle for me and it’s become especially highlighted after starting a RUclips channel. The amount of time and tasks required has been eye-opening to say the least 😅 I can always use a reminder to slow down. Awesome video man!
Thanks. Running a RUclips channel can be its own multi-headed beast.
Always watching these vids feels like having (listening to) a friend u don't have as a friend lol :'D
Try this with 3 kids at home... (one being a 2 year old in his terrible 2's) lol... Good video thought.
Thank you Matthew Encinas

This was a fantastic video.
Learned many many things from it.
Excellent video Matthew! Great pointers here for everyone! Trying to automate some of the business side of work is something I need to look into.

Bro it's a request or an idea for you 😜 can you make a tour of your art work
Hey Matt! I just noticed you're not using your Logitech MX Master keyboard any longer. I switched myself to a mechanical keyboard as well and I know why I love using one but I'm interested to know why you chose to switch to one?
I still use it. Just testing out a mechanical keyboard for writing.
Thanks for this video Matthew! I am a fellow Pinoy animation designer and appreciate this especially in Covid times. Would you also be willing to share any of your file organization methodology? Thanks!

Same for me.
