Anyone else's dad a loud sneezer? 🤧
mine
Never clicked on the video so fast
.
Aren't all dads🤣
Why they all like this tho
What I love about long productivity videos is that I can procastinate everything I have to do and feeling productive anyway.
Same here..
You’re a sick man 🤣
That's called "Productive procrastination"...... false sense of productivity
@@TarannumKhatriCA you do consulting for taxation and compliance related things?
Yes
Who else is procrastinating by watching productivity videos?
Nope, did the hard things right in the beginning. It's hard, duh, but every time I think: Wasn't that hard, why did I over-thought this to death?
Thinking about what you need to do kills productivity. Just do it without thinking,that works for me at least.
I feel seen 😫.
That's the danger of productivity videos. It feels like you are productive which makes it even easier to procrastinate. Most people never use any of the advice.
Sweet irony
@@alishaondemand more like exposed 😥
My simple productivity = remembering things in the shower then forgetting to do them once I'm front of the computer
Thanks for your comment, do you trade, buy or invest in Bitcoin??
Perhaps you would benefit from having your phone nearby and telling Siri to remind you of those things in 10-20 minutes or so 😊

😂 same!!
Color-coding and time-blocking is the key. It has improved my productivity dramatically. Also, I start by planning the non-work / fun / inspiring things. Then I plan the work related stuff. Everything is in GMail and digital. And I just get reminders and don't have to remember what to do 😊
Hey, how did you organize in Gmail?
@@moradkhahi I think tasks into the Google calendar and information by mail. I do it the same
I never thought to start with planning my downtime. Thank you for this tip, I think I'd like to start implementing this today!
I love your work, Justine! 💜

Thanks...

many thanks for your effort on video timestamp
I love how simple your system is. It really stands to show that you don't need 25 different fancy apps and programs to get things done. Also loved the loud sneeze beat - truly a work of art!
That's true. It's the simplest system I've seen.
For me simpler is always better. I much prefec focusing on what I have to do rather than some complicated chain of apps and routines that in reality is just slow me down. When you go see a painting what you pay attention to? The frame it's in or the actual painting.
Everybody's asking how does Matt do things, but no one asks how's Matt. We live in a society.
Damn, so true...
Gosh, your comment is GOLD. Kudos on offering the most caring perspective I've ever seen in YT comments! 👏👏👏
Who asked him
Yes, we live in a society...where caring about someone feels like a distant memory. Is not that so, Batm...Frey ?

Hello. I'm japanese. I often watch your video to improve english listening skill.
I want to thank you because there are a tons of interesting videos in your RUclips channel.
I'm looking forward to your next work.
Splitting up my room into different workspaces like only using my bed for sleep and only using my desk for work etc has been the biggest help lately.
Hmm as I sat editing my videos from the bed last night. I need to rethink that.
This!!! I really noticed a productivity dip when moving into a really small apartment when covid hit ;(
having a set place, and set objects to do something has also been good for me. also not turning my phone on before doing all of my goals also helped
I did this in college! I made the decision before I started freshman year to never ever do homework in bed. That way my bed was only for sleeping or relaxing and it made it easier to sleep at night.
Thank u

Spark + Evernote + Todoist + Fantastical this is the pinnacle of productivity
Have you tried Microsoft To Do? I use it a lot.
“It’s not always that we need to do more but rather that we need to focus on less.” the storytelling in this video is absolutely awesome. Thank you for sharing this video❤
Your right on point with that one, we have to focus on our most highest valuable task and eliminate/focus less on the rest.

Who else loves how Matt keeps a straight face when he's being sarcastic!!!!!! His openings are so funny!!
calm down man jeeezuz
Wdym?
"You might have a sneezer like this in your family"
That feeling when the loudest sneezer in the family is you
Omg! I’ve never seen such a structured files earlier.
I’ll use your idea to sort notes by folders and to name it. This way to store information is so simple and convenient at the same time!
Thanks for sharing your ideas
The notes and calendar apps do a lot better of a job at remembering what I’m supposed to do with my life than my brain does.
That's kind of the whole gist of things like David Allen's GTD. Our brains were made for having ideas, not long term storage of complex systems. We need to get all that stuff out into a different place, like Tiego Forte's system of Second Brain.
At this point I just assume if it’s not written down it’s as good as forgotten
Same! It’s finding the time to set them up!
Oh same, for sure. I even tell people that when I send them a link to book into my calendar
I'd love to have you, Thomas Frank, and Ali Abdaal all in one room and see who's the most productive
Include Matthew Encina.
ORORORORO!!! I spend half of my day sleeping! ORORORO!!! Then I sometimes get up and tell you that I am a famous content creatorORORORORO!!! Please don't sleep while driving, dear paul
It would be Matt. Ali would start talking about how he is “insanely productive”, Tom would start setting up a score sheet on Notion and Matt would simply be getting shit done not giving a f.
Wow 😑😑
@Ariel Anny a show that would make the rest of the world less productive as we watch in horrible fascination
The fact that all my stuff was already organized in an almost identical style as Matt makes me feel like I'm on track 😏 👍
I love keeping a really thorough calendar for work, but keep all my personal time free to do whatever. Blocking out my calendar like you did for 3 months really helps me, still the method that works for me the best!
5 things Draining you in your daily life:
1.Looking at the problems rather than the solution.
(Simple law of attraction, think of the problem and only more problems and overthinking will occur.
Think about the solution and you will bring forth just that, now, all you have to do is TAKE ACTION)
2.thinking about what other people think or comparing yourself to others (compare yourself from yesterday)
3.snacking on processed/unhealthy foods
(Instead replace with things like nuts or plan out your meals more efficiently with an app like MyFitnessPal)
4.Overthinking about what you want to do
(Make clear to yourself what you want RIGHT NOW or in your future and make the choice to start it in the NOW,
+ you can write daily goals or make a morning/evening routine)
5.Over-induldging in social media or watching the news
📈
I agree 100%
It's easy to be productive if you truly love what you're doing.
That’s so true!
Absolutely
Really ??😑
Grief, mental health challenges, workaholic tendencies, addictions, various disabilities, and unhealthy relationships can cause a productivity slump...even if you truly do love what you’re doing. There’s a reason why people can indeed burnout and stop being productive even in careers they truly love 👀.
Not true. Creating habits and systems take a lot of work to stay consistent.
LOVE the checklists as a repeatable sense-check - I could do with one of these for my commute to the office, eg. bring laptop, charger, mousepad, mouse, headphones and water bottle… because it sucks when I forget one of these!
Someone - how many videos you are going to make on productivity?
Matt D'Avella - Yes
“It’s a great way to create an alibi if you need one”.
I literally laughed out loud 😂
"Project omg wtf is our life" is the most apt title for notes about life I have ever seen.
Thanks for your comment,

Not getting as much done as I was thinking... "time buffer" helped me a LOT!
My buffer time is about 30-40% of all workday and helps to keep agenda as planned
I watch your videos pretty regularly and I have to say, this one has been the most helpful to me yet! Thank you for taking the time to share the tools you use and go through them. It is super helpful to me as a creative who wants to stay organized.
The storytelling on these videos is absolutely phenomenal
I love a good story mixed in!
The dehydrated lazy side of myself felt relief for a split second at the first water tip thinking it would solve my water intake forgetfulness 😫💦
Grab a big bottle of water and leave it next to the keyboard at desk, take it on a bag when you leave home, carry iy with you when watching tv. etc, Also, First time you grab in the morning so put on a night stand or somewhere usefull.
@@mondrometal adding to this, set reminders on your phone.
I keep finding you on all my favourite channels😂 first van neistat and now here. Anyways, wouldn't miss a chance to appreciate your work too 👍👍 thanks for great content!
@@nileshjaitly that’s awesome haha and thank you for saying that. Glad you like my work!
@@mondrometal FWIW, I already do that and I still forget to properly hydrate so… :P I should probably set reminders on my phone, like @YAH YEET recommended… 😬
It is a great starting point for myself; simple, minimal, and attainable. Thank you, Matt. Whenever I feel lost in a productivity system, I come back to this video.
Love that intro - I actually expected an April's fool video after that 😆 What I particularly like about your tips that those tools your recommend are not super fancy and just work. Personally, I use Google Drive/Calendar and Apple Notes for 3+ years and both just work without being fancy. Apple Notes actually got better over time. Thanks for sharing the insights on how you use them! 🙌
My dad does it on purpose. Never one sneeze either, each one louder than the last.
Leaves a silly high pitched 'choo' on the end like he's signing a work of art.
Edit: 'its quiet a work of art, I'm actually proud of it'
Daddy?
I literally needed this to stay more productive Rn, Netflix very tempting!
Fok
And then you find yourself in a rabbit hole of productive RUclips and find that you’ve done nothing at all. At least that’s me
I felt it
@@alexcottam4070 that is me too
Watching productivity video isn't being productive, it just gives yourself an illusion that you've actually done something.
my simple productivity system: watching all of Matt D'Avella's videos to feel more productive
Thanks for your comment,

no but can I donate all of my money to you ❤😘 😍 😍
I can just imagine Matt sitting at his desk, making a beat out of his dad's sneeze and having the time of his life ahhahaha. Didn't expect this but highly enjoyed it

Digital organization has always been an impossible task to me. Watching this was motivating and I'm determined to get my digital life together 🙌🏾
I've been practising digital minimalism and must say I find it helps a lot - especially when trying to focus on tasks and work!
Me: I should be more productive
Also me: *watches hours of productivity videos instead of getting shit done*
Another awesome video from a productivity guru! I'm using your videos for my English classes and my students are always in awe of it!
OMG, watching this and I realise that I had written hundreds of notes on iPhone but never thought about organize them in folders 🤦🏻♂️ thank Matt for this, you gave me so many hints to organise things in my life, not only the note. And I love your sense of humor 😍
One more thing, I didn't remember if I''ve watched your "track every minute" video yet, but I used to do the same thing back to around 2015. Actually that's my ex's request to know what I do thru the day, but doing that really helped me to gain the accountability w/ my time. I will find your video and watch it to know if we share the idea :33
I loved these tiparoos! I loved the relaxed style of video, took notes.. redid my whole system - bam! The notes organization you did - but in notion.. very happy with that :) Thank you, Matt!
A river cuts through a rock not because of its power but it's persistence! 🙏
Factually and grammatically inaccurate, but ok.
@@veganryori Thanks anyway!
Hey, in relation to the Apple Notes App, you can reorder folders however you prefer without numbering them. You’re also able to have subfolders as well in case you have a more macro category that encompasses a few different things.
I utilize the micro folders within my larger folders. It’s an excellent system.
That intro was awesome. It epitomizes “advice” we have all received that intuitively in our gut we know isn’t right.
Okay that beat in the end is D O P E
Recently found your channel. Very informative, helpful and extremely entertaining. That sneeze beat is 🔥 lol. Thank you for your content! 😊
Good timing for stumble upon this video since 2023 I need to focus on productivity and streamlining my work / personal life. Thanks Matt.
Can I just say that you *blew my mind* ?! I didn´t know that you could add folders to the Apple Notes Tool... I´ve been using this as my catch all for years, but I always wanted to organize it and yet I didn´t know how... also, I recently figured out that I really needed a useful system and I´m trying several things (including bullet journaling) and it got really frustrating because nothing really seemed to fit me and my needs fully like the way I wanted to.... so glad you made this video... *THANK YOU* !!! I might adopt some of the things you do and try if they also work for me :)
"The greatest men in the world have failed more than you have tried!" 💪
Great point, that should be a slogan!
My mom's sneezes are worse. She SCREAMS when she sneezes. Has scared some people with it before lol
I do that sometimes you end up screaming and not sneezing...freaks people out 😂
😂 😂 😂
I had a friend like that at college - would scare the heck out of everyone on the bus when she sneezed!!
This was great. A true embodiment of essentialism/minimalism in action. Thanks for sharing, Matt!
Really liked the simplicity of your approach! Definitely some nice tips to try! Thanks a lot
Love the “This Week” idea and dedicating time to read
Aw, my granddad who passed away about 5 years ago was the loudest sneezer. We'd always make fun of him for it!
Thanks for unlocking those memories again for me. 😊
As someone that has been all over the place with productivity. This gave me so much perspective, honestly a game-changer!
This video was exactly what I needed right now. I'm about to move to cities and start a new job and keeping track of everything I need to do has been a daily challenge. Thanks for the very practical tips - I'll 100% be putting them to use.
Yes, please. This is the kind of video I wanted to see for such a long time!!!
The sneez song Ft. Matt's dad 😂😂
10:35. "So another Tiperoo... Tiperoo? what is my life" I feel it, I feel it.
Everything is so neat and organized, it’s just satisfying to watch really

But thanks for the great serious productivity tips! Simple systems truly work best.
I'm a huge fan of the Eisenhower system for setting priorities in my To-Dos when I get them on paper and out of my head.
This is one of the most helpful, organized, and well produced videos on RUclips. Bravo encore
“Productivity often stems not from doing more and more, but focusing on less.”
I’m loving Matt’s humor and self-irony in this video☀️
I subscribed after you turned your dad’s sneeze into a beat! Great video. Down to earth, achievable, great tips, real! Thanks Matt!
Just switched from Apple mail to Airmail and the organization within that app compared to apple was mind blowing. Also switched from reminders to Todoist and wow, all of my little to do notes strewn around on post it’s and some written in reminder (but never looked at a really) are now conveniently in one easy to use app. Can’t put into word how that alone puts your mind at ease.
I have a resident sneezer who sneezes every morning at 5am. His sneezes rock the entire block every.single.morning. It's amazing. I have never met him yet.
Then how you know its his sneeze and not his wake up alarm? 😅😅
It sounded like a Prince video at first. Lol
Love how you start by laughing at all this before diving into the serious stuff 👍🏽🙂
Thanks for the advice man, i've already learned so much from you by only watching 2 videos. Love it and finding the motivation to start, to be productive, to aim high again. I really needed this
This work from home situation is really a suitable condition to apply much more scheduling approach, since we tend to trap ourselves in social media or leisure time.
Big aha for me here was how little of my calendar I own. Too much is other people's meetings/priorities.
I think once you learn that being busy does not mean that you are being productive, you can truly begin to get the stuff that matters done.
Productivity is such a hard thing to pin down when you’re “busy” with busywork that is distracting.
Agree so much on this. It's so each to be 'busy' and to not actually get anything done. Take your time and attack tasks a few small chunks at a time.

Stay on your grind
Um showing your google drive in your finder just changed my whole life.
How do you download google drive though? It wont come up in my search in the App Store. Nor can i download it directly from the website.
This video change my life, thank u for doing it ❤️
Great video Matt, you’ve just motivated me to clean up and streamline my notes and to to-do list!! Many thanks!!
*This was actually stupendous*
haha what a word! I haven't heard stupendous for sooo long!
looks at title: oh great, a simple system
looks at duration: oh
Thank you Matt! I so needed this 👏🙂
Haha amazing dedication at the end! 😂
The sneeze beats... pure gold!!! OMG I love it! Laughed so hard. Thanks for making my day!
I think it’s time for Matt to make a to do list for recording how high his dad sneezes every time for his future music video🤧....
Simple living,high thinking Matt...Good day!😊

Simple yet effective. And, clearly tailored to fit your needs. Thanks, Matt!
Man, your channel is one of the best on RUclips! This video is amazing! Thanks for that.
Appreciate the content A LOT! Though if you are like me and too many systems confuse you.. these are my two cents.
I am an Ivy league MBA passout. We were taught to make fancy MODELS and STEPS so we can charge our clients more but when I opened my school in India and Italy and saw something else working better with my students.. something way simpler: we aren't productive and waste time because we don't have a good "connection" with ourselves and our goals.
We just do many things without REALLY thinking about them.
WHAT WE NEED is to spend some time with ourselves everyday planning the next day. Best way is to have a walk ALONE thinking about things to do tomorrow. VISUALIZE and make that connection. You'll also move a bit that will release the right hormones for you to have a positive connection with the next day's purpose!!
So.. JUST have a walk and visualise. And thank me later. Best of luck guys!!
Great ideas! I tend to combine most of this into my bullet journal, but I am a huge fan of using Google calendar and Google tasks to organize the overview things and to remember a task on the go
Literally just got back to working on my own productivity system yesterday. This will help so much!
these long videos are amazing and informative matt, pls keep making videos like these
