How To Make To-Do Lists Like Leonardo da Vinci (Life Changing)

- Today we talk about the to do lists and notebooks of the genius Leonardo da Vanci. We also take a look at how we can think like Leonardo Davinci and how to make to do lists like him. If you want to be a highly successful polymath, Davincis thought process is definitely something you can emulate and learn from.
Notice how many "ask someone" points are there. Humble man.
The “ask someone” of today is “Google it” or “Watch a RUclips video”.
@@type3society Or " Alexa, how long will it take you and Siri to do my homework?"
Now, we've ChatGPT, that learns how human thinks lol
I think that someone should be your inner self

It is clear that Leonardo was someone to try and understand anything and everything to it's fullest. Most of us would think about something for a second, wonder about it for another second, then forget about it in the next second. Leonardo would take that something and write it down, take some time to observe it, draw it, write everything he learned, asked anyone who knew a little bit more about, then inspire himself with it.
Well he was an ENTP
@@LadyVenVen What's that?
@@michaeldurrant9719 Thanks
@@LadyVenVen pls tell me what is ENTP. THX🎉
It's a Myers Briggs personality type, known for being very curious and argumentative thinkers(among other things). (I'm an ENTP is the only reason ik this)
What’s truly remarkable about Leonardo is that his notes were written in ink, but there’s not one mistake or scratch out.
Very much unlike my notes
I can’t write two sentences in ink without making a mistake.
isn't that because scholars at the time pretty much ONLY had to handwrite?
We don't know this. Not every one of his pages or books are public.
If only 100 pages are public, it’s still pretty amazing.
"Find a master of hydraulics AND GET HIM TO TELL YOU how to repair a....."
I wish I could've seen that interaction 🤣
He made him an offer he couldn't refuse lmao
@@arthurmaul3284 and hence the mafia was born
Sounds like my son heh
He then obtained his skull :D
Find a person with passion regarding a matter, and all you have to do is give a prompt.
From a small child I collected every Leonardo De Vinci book I could find. I studied & replicated all of his work. My book collection was stolen one day 😢...thank you for this video. Very enjoyable
Wow, I would be devastated. Although it is wonderful that your memories of them can't be stolen.
I'm sorry your book collection got stolen🥺
Sorry to hear that what was your favorite book by him?
I’m so very sorry.
aw im so so sorry:( hope u still do continue to collect them!!
I recently found myself carrying a notebook and writing down every thought provoking idea i had. Never would have thought its also a habit of the brillaint Leonardo Da Vinci. Im inspired to continue this habit
I visited the Museum in da Vincis birthplace in the town of Vinci when driving around Italy in 1996. It had a lot of models of his drawings of inventions.
I'm past 70yo yet I am still watching things like this. I carried a notebook every day up until 2019 when I bought a smartphone of my own, not a work one.
I am reading the biography of Casanova (ebook) at the mo, I watch RUclips info channels on archaeology, mythology, geology, history, guitars, electronics, philosophy, natural history, biology, maths, science, and anything else which takes my fancy. I have always been like this. I suspect I am mildly Aspergers.
I have never understood people who lack curiosity.
Feels like me imao
same here, a bit in other way, but same. nice to hear there others :)
They are hormonally different. Dopamine says, good and let’s have more. Serotonin says, good and that’s enough. It’s actually good to also have the feeling of “enough” some times, in a balance. Some are imbalanced one way or the other, you and I, both, toward curiosity.
@@tcveatch Fair point.
Same bro
It's important to understand, Da Vinci wasn't simply making manic, scatter-brained lists of things to do in order to distract himself or keep himself busy; all of these 'to do' items were, in some way, related to greater projects he was working on. Fill your 'to do' lists with items that are relevant and impactful to the achievement of your life goals.
FYI, at 0:14, that’s Michelangelo’s David, not a Leonardo sculpture. Da Vinci was quite jealous of Michelangelo’s superior sculpting mastery, and may have even sketched a copy (erasure found in scan of notebooks).
When I saw the David I was confused and thought: how did I miss that Leonardo sculpted the David. Where has my brain gone to (hungover) Pfff 😂
So glad that the fact that David is a Michelangelo work, was pointed out! Still, Leonardo is, in my opinion, one of the most fantastic humans to have graced the world..and I very much have appreciated this video.
Thank you for pointing that out. That confused me too. It was the orange Ninja Turtle, not the blue one.
@@tomasnemec3342 and the fact that they are turtles is impressive!
My to-do lists are like chores, his are about discovery... I'm doing life wrong.
How true. This video has literally changed my life.
Some people are not born with that innate curiosity and branching interests
@@Alpha-Andromeda some people have it beat out of us as children.
Leonardo da Vinci was curious about many things. Leonardo thought about things longer than other people. He meticulously studied, observed, drew, and recorded his findings. He even sought out professionals to learn more and understand. He craved information and was motivated by his surroundings.
Quite possibly the most brilliant man to ever live. His life has many aspects that we can use today.
Da Vinci‘s reference to “walls without loopholes” refers to the slits that are usually designed into fortified walls that would allow a marksman’s weapon such as a gun or a arrow to be shot through at an invading enemy.
I have carried notebooks all my life. The perspective they give is astonishing.
Leonardo didn't leave us' anything. His notebooks simply survived and no one tossed them out or burned them. What you read was more of reminder list or bucket list, not a 'to do' list.
Definitely agree with the last statement.
I find that tittle strange, very strange for someone who have "interest" on Vinci work !
Your point is what?
I'm always writing notes...it really does work. When I read back on them occasionally I see the things I had forgotten that I wanted to do or explore.
Really, really - this video was worth 10 million views. Something about your presentation brought it to complete perfection.
I agree
Nice video. I'm starting to take more notes since the last couple of years and I already have lists for the new skills I want to acquire, places I want to visit, experiences I want to have, ideas for future projects, and more... This year I started my own PKMS to organize my notes and all the content that I consume daily that I could find useful for future reference. 🤓
That's so great! Self directed learning is the best! :) Thanks for watching!
This video is amazing, many thanks for making it. I listened and watched it while gathering my evening's spoils upon my chariot. I find myself a Renaissance man much like he was, of course not yet at that same caliber. On and off I've always done this, and I can say that the weeks when I had and used sketch and notebooks, made quite more sense than those without. What I would add from modern experience is the voice recordings. As in, periodically, take your phone with its voice recorder, and your books and lists and pages, and walk around the room recording from them, what there is to do. Then you can listen both as you do menial chores, so your mind can deepen knowledge of your goals and interests, OR more focused, with pen and paper in hand, listen to recording and make fresh maps and sketches of these things you listed. This process, these loops from paper to voice to paper, will help you to swiftly advance your projects, leave out or change details as needed, use repeatable recorded checklists and questions and so forth. Definitely there's something there about voice recordings, and had this been known in Leonardo's time, I'm sure he would have used it along his other methods. Thank you again for your fresh videos, hope you make more soon :)
The only thing i would like to know, is how he practiced not only juggling his thoughts and observations but how he truly disciplined himself to navigate it!
I think if he lived in our current time, he would have been diagnosed as having ADHD or something similar…my brain works something similar to his and I cannot explain how I get half of the things running through my mind done.
thank you very much, very useful valuable content. yes, it took me up to 40 years old to understand the importance of journaling, Writing in general, 3 years ago it has made tremendous impact on my life, and yes, we should find other names for our to do list, name it what makes you easier to take action on it. even chicken scratches scribbles helps a lot. just let it flow and create :)
Loved this video and your final comment and conclusion. Thank you for this inspiring material!
I'm left-handed and always wrote my notes mirrored. It was probably both. It's easier for us to write like that because ink smudges like crazy. But it's also nice to know that people wont be able to see what it is at a glance; they have to concentrate if they want to read it.
I use a regular ol' pencil. The trick is to not put too much pressure on your pinkie to get the graphite on your finger
Great vid. His notebooks are among my favorites. I'm an analog man (but not a Renaissance man). Yes I have Apple Notes, Freeform, and iA Writer but ... I love to explore an idea with a notebook and pen. (I don't do pencils) I have many notebooks. I carry aa A6 pocket notebook, I have a A5 carpentry notebook, A4 meeting notebooks (wherein I do sketchnotes), watercolor notebooks, and a commonplace notebook. My brain connects better with pen and paper. Thanks for the vid.
Hey, nice video. I like the subject, because I've always been a fan of Leonardo da Vinci, but you also presented it all in a sincere, straightforward fashion without trying to be pretentious. Cheers. 👊🏻😉
Brilliant video! Thank you for sharing it that was a powerful lesson.
Ok Leonardo Da Vinci is awesome! They did not go over any of this in school, and it really does him a injustice! I had started a Common Place Journal recently, and was feeling overwhelmed with it being perfect or not recording every little thing, but I am really inspired, and feel better after watching this video!
Before i had a to learn list and also to consume list and you know, but now i actually see that it is better if i out it in my real productivity to do. With all the other tasks.
This was brilliant and inspiring! Thank you!
Thank you for the video! Really good information here.
Leonardo da vinci was a curiosité-driven man
Really? ...Ya think?
For sure! A typical ENTP.
Imagine if Da Vinci lived through the internet? He’ll probably change the course of human history with his unmitigated thirst for knowledge! What a heroic figure!
Or maybe he would have destroyed his potential by watching porn and playing video games all day. We would never know.
@@kasratabrizi2839nope, you can always tell the kind of people who would be great no matter the era or whatever their occupation
@@kasratabrizi2839 Bro u described me
He has already changed the course of human history at huge scale lol. He don't need internet. It's already done.
Enjoyed this video ! Yet another precious piece of information about the Master.
Thank you for this wondrous highly inspiring video.
It's interesting to learn about this because I take notes on a lot of things, such as topics I want to learn about, ideas I want to create and more. I brain dump my thoughts and then organize them into categories on an app. I like it because it's quick and accessible to me. I could carry a notebook but then my notes would be all over the place. 😅
I have a curious mind but I was also diagnosed with ADHD. 😆
I like how much this sounds like my search history
RIP Leo, you would've loved Google
This is crazy
I love these polymaths ❤️
Same
I like how authentic this video is
This was so insightful.
I have so many interests but I think the common in all of them is the want to understand more.
This is a true video. hats off the speaker.
I love the focus on WRITING things down. So few write anything by hand.
One of the finest videos I've seen on You Tube
everything in leonardo's to do lists sounds like side quests
Love this ❤ thank you for the memories
The most fascinating video I ever watched on RUclips. Thanks
The Voice quality of the narrator is really good & it's really motivating. Thanks
I dont feel so bad about my own lists after hearing this talk. Interesting perspectives. I carry note[ads to write all the time when Im at cafes to write my thoughts.
I like your input at the end, I subscribed.
That was shockingly enlightening, I will be researching Da Vinci more. Thank you
i am not a leonardo i have 5 notebooks of to do lists with sketches and tasks quite similar since 2018 (my older notes are back in greece), his genius was his curiosity and exploration and he based his research/conclusion on science of the time. i see a man at the end of the day with immense love for life.
I love how you ended it inferring his immense love for life!
FASCINATING, why can't I find people like this to conversate with
Many hide until they sense that you can be trusted. Can you blame them?
Holographic Da Vinci: Catarina, have you been to France?
Janeway: Not recently...
Even the recreation of Leonardo in a futuristic sci-fi show is enough to admire a truly Renaissance man 😁
Just in case anyone is wondering, Da Vinci did not carve Michaelangelo's David.
That 'no one really knows' statement about the tower "...walled without loop holes" is clearly referencing removal of arrow slits/musket slits -- because those are weak points for cannon-using bombardiers attacking a tower/castle/wall. Loopholes were vitally important fortification features in the days of arrows and crossbows but they became a liability for musket and cannon shot and eventually the elimination of castles as a defensive feature altogether.
Thank you for the information and the curiosity to learn 📕 😊❤
Thank you so much for this video ❤
Beautiful! I love the idea of „letting go of self-doubt“ which definitely helos in moving forward and achieving one thing or the other.
Ps: Maybe you could add those funny little „actually“ comments on the video images when the text says „sculpture“ and in the picture there is a sculpture - by Michelangelo… Or when you say „he would travel to Milan“ and then there‘s a beautiful take on Venice instead.
Thank you for sharing! Are Leonardo’s notebooks available in printed form, maybe with some helpful transcription?
It is a nice video dude and I really liked your voice. do u have a podcast of books or something?
I love Beethoven's 3rd symphony in the background. Majestic!
Great content & message! 👍
Fabulous
I love the inks on the gelli plate
An absolute genius.
Great video! Loved the narration.
Now since time changes, you should write it down in your tablet/Ipad. I found it easy to keep than books or laptop since I don't really touch my notebook/laptop. I feel like Davinci is the type of person who's comfortable with writing or drawing. So just make yourself comfortable, creative, active and inspiring.
Since it is a digital and surveillanced world we live in now, I find notebook and pen more important than ever.
@@traceywindle962 You're right. Your questions and observation will have a much greater personal connection to you, and no one can look over your shoulder.
Thank you💜
Nothing close to learning about Da Vinci than through Leonardo himself. I had no idea until recently that he wrote down his thoughts on art and life in his codexes. He inspired me so much that I actually made an online Leonardo da Vinci Masterclass. He'll always be an Immortal Mentor to me.
Hi, do you have something online, with a link ?
This is got to be the most fascinating dude that will ever exist. What a list 😊 so diverse 😊
Loved this. Thanks.
He would have loved the internet. 😂
Thank you so much. Very very useful
This video is a masterpiece 🎉
Great piece
Very smart man indeed ❤incredible. Funny I do log every thing I do and a journal 3 years now.
@growth quest - they ABSOLUTELY tell you at business school to write things down. I think by the end of day two we had this drilled in to us, having not issued notes, given us long reading lists which were discussed as case studies, and having been sent a journal paper on comprehension and memory from the org psych dept.
1:55 Wow! This is the exact same list I made up last week… what are the odds? Seriously though, great video. Cheers!
"describe the tongue of a woodpecker" 😂
Have you seen the cross-section of that? It's wild
@@johnmartinez9220 true
This reminds me of a quest inventory, 200 miles to complete, and on the journey you know he was adding to the list of things to do.
Loved your voice ,thanks for the vedio ..from paradise Kashmir ❤
This video is awesome
Amazing video thank u!!!!!!
I enjoyed this 👍
Just marvelous!!
To the point. loved this video!
This was really epic.
I would love to see his reaction to the internet and all the new knowledge we have
You da best 💖💖
this is how my notebooks look other than the mirrored writing lol, i kinda thought i was a crazy mad man - i love learning and writing notes cuz my brain is all over the place im afraid ill never find my way back to that thought, i find myself curious about anything and everything
Amazing.
Woooow
He was really an absolute genius 😮
Great video, thanks.
I sometimes wonder. If Leonardo is one single person or a group 😂
That is profound. Perhaps there really was a group of people he relied on to make all of these ideas come to life?
After the opening sentence listing all his talents I immediately thought - this is not true. This is not all the work of one man. I think it is more like a collective encyclopedia of information. Question everything has been my motto since March 2020.
As a member of the neurodivergent community, I can assure you all of these thoughts can exist in one brain at one moment in time 🤣🤣🤣
@@cmcsccw So true!
Da Vinci is one of my favorite humans ever
I really really needed to see this thanks to the algorithm
Thank you for this ! the many things I learned from this short video, I have decided that I need to add “obtain a skull” to a future to do list, just to prank anyone who might read it.
I wish i was organized and consistent enough to do this. I've always tried to give structure to my life. Maybe this can help
It was because he was left handed. When I worked in the book printing industry, I quickly learned to read pages upside down and backwards because I worked with negatives a lot. It becomes second nature quickly and as you said, being left handed, he did not smudge.
Good ideas! I keep a commonplace book, which used to be how people kept their notes. Interestingly, it’s precisely because we got used to storing our memory outside ourselves that we don’t remember things anymore. ie: writing it down, recording our voice, etc.
I have amazing ideas all the time, but have forgotten most of them because I wrote them down! I can revisit them in my book, but in a way, by not having to keep them in my memory, I also don’t process the idea fully. It’s amazing what you can work out if you keep it fresh in your memory!
I have amazing ideas too, but I lose most of what I don't record or write down. Or at least, I lose the ideas for great lengths of time...
Different mind work different. When I write things down, now I have a physical copy AND an new mental copy.
I’m referring to the way human memory changed because of writing. :) Our memory doesn’t work the way it did before writing… back when we when we had to remember everything we knew. Most of us RELY on writing now.
It’s like Socrates told us in The Phaedrus: Writing doesn’t mean you’ve stored information in your memory, you’ve merely created a reminder. Ie: writing has made our memories weaker.
Computers are doing the same with spelling and knowledge. You don’t have to remember how to spell, or remember the population of Ohio. You can “Google” it. Thus, technology’s weakened very important faculties of our brain/mind. If THIS is what we’re like 5,000 years after writing was invented, will what people be like 10,000 years from now? Especially if we continue to neglect nature’s most powerful processor?
great video
Thanks!!!
Lovely post. Just mind that when introducing Leonardo, a sculpture by Michelangelo (David) is featured. The two personalities would not be happy with this, as they did not see eye to eye ; ) apparently, according to Irving Stone's The Agony and the Ecstasy.
