Saw this quote yesterday, thought it applies. "Vision without action is a daydream. Action without vision is a nightmare." -Japanese Proverb
A Goal without a Plan is just a Wish.
I've been living a nightmare until I watched this video
Michael A how do I balance Both? I struggle with this
Martin's Kitchen System
Back Burner - things that need to be done, but are not the main focus
Vitamins - things that are small, important, but are done everyday
Main Burner - the task you are focused on
Oven - things on a timer that are scheduled to be done at a certain time
Justina Anderson io
Can someone explain the difference between the Back Burner and Main Burner? I really love this method!!
@@mistiemill3262 the stuff on the main burner would be getting working on now, meanwhile the back burner is stuff that's going to get onto the main burner when you finish whatever task you're on. Think of the back burner as a queue and the main burner as the thing that's going through the queue as you complete it.
how do you actually create those separate categories and lists on todoist sorry i’m new to the app haha
@@mistiemill3262 Main burner-- What you are working on right now (and is probably urgent) (e.g. get the kid's to school, go to the meeting at 2pm Back burner: something less urgent that you will get to eventually when you finish the stuff on the main burner. (Call Ana to see how she is doing, play piano for half an hour)
Just for the record. Here is an almost 60 y.o. guy learning from you, young man. Thanks.
@mixbaal0: age is just a number. if you are learning, you are always 21 :) take care. all the best.
1. Create a daily list
Keep the list minimal to what you can actually do
Time boxing
Or aft least write out your tasks in the order of completion
2. Long term goals
Kanban method (to do/doing/done)
Prioritization (back burner/vitamins (small every day tasks)/front burner (most important stuff)/oven (scheduled items that happen every once in a while))
Amazingly summarized!
Thanks for summaring
You should have a video to talk about fashion, since your clothes always catch my eyes in most of your video lol
@@mysigt_ Not a judging space Derek!
He may not be wearing pants, lol.
@@nhmichael03104 and even underwear 😂😂
Anyways the man is keeping us motivated!

01:30 This is a learning space. Not a judging space.
On the other end of the table
Looks like a detective
Has a recording device behind
Has a white light above his head
Yea this feels like an interrogation so...
I get that. I loved what he was wearing too 😂 Maybe I should try that lighting out for effect with my stuff too.
-DERICK!
His Corona-Quarantine hair is hitting different
It's only a matter of time before I hit Keanu hair
Keanu frank?
Or Thomas Reeves

@@Thomasfrank I'm sure it'll be breathtaking
Hope you enjoyed this one! I'm going to try something new and create a public journal of sorts that details how I'm pushing my skills and learning.
1% Rule log for this video:
- I wanted the reel-to-reel to spin continuously and never skip due to a jump cut. So I had to film the video twice and alternate angles anytime I didn't cover up a cut with B-roll
- Combined two different creative LUTs to achieve more retro looking skin tones. In the past I've always just tried to choose one. I also experimented with masked/feathered color grading layers on the sides that have the "faded film" slider pushed up, which did an ok job of simulating a bit of haze without making the middle section look too faded.
- Got a bit better at EQ'ing the dialogue - though I did screw up with the mic positioning on the wide shot, which is why it's a bit echo-y when I lean forward.
What is the 1% Rule? Essentially, it's the idea that you should aim to get 1% better with each piece of work you do, instead of pressuring yourself to create "perfect" work. Over time, these 1% improvements add up as long as you're consistent. More info in this video: ruclips.net/video/t_FSSC-ixK8/видео.html
I'll also be collecting all these journal entries here: thomasjfrank.com/my-1-rule-journal/
Attention to detail appreciated. 😀
The second angle helped a lot, and the whole set looks great!
I like your clothes in this video, very dashing
That little hair just hanging down...wants to be licked.
Great video! Would you be able to do one for students?
Just look at how Thomas grew up -his look, the content he provides, the quality of videos - everything is top-notch. Comparing with first videos on the channel, the gap between them is huge :)
I Totally agree with you, His quality of videos has improved a lot
shows that he practices what he's teaching us. and it works
Be prepared to sway from the initial plan.
Also, this is a great opportunity reflect over the things that really matter.
Whether you like what you do and how you will gain fulfilment in your life.
That's so true. I believe that's true as well!
Your advice is garbage mate. And it's everywhere.
Perhaps it is you that ought to reflect on your life ossein. Reflect on the multitude of comment sections you have shat on over the years. With your "advice". The only thing you have truly mastered is annoying thousands of people. You shouldn't be giving advice. You're a terrible deeply arrogant and selfish narcissist.
i love how real you are Thomas. Admitting how much you get distracted and try to keep yourself in line is a huge motivation for someone who suffers from the same "shiny thing" obsession hahaha
Keep it up!
It's April fools and Thomas still gives us the most informative and helpful content, resisting temptation. He's the real OG.
7:02 onward. Thomas serving up a strong “McDreamy” on the left side screen 😍
Me seeing the thumbnail: oh so now Liam Payne gives advice for productivity on RUclips, k, cool
I can't recommend enough to go as granular as you can when listing out tasks. I've tried it and found my efficiency and productivity went through the roof.
I like to block out sections and then have my tasks be granularly laid out for me so I totally understand what you mean!
What do you mean with "granular"? I don't really understand
@@danielruiz6011 detailed as possible. usually a specific task or goal. Instead of a big generic task such as "clean my room", you can split it up into vacuum, dust, organize bookshelf, etc
@@danielruiz6011 bunu has given an excellent answer, hopefully it clarifies your question
@@flyingmonkeys96 thanks a lot man!
It’s so crucial that people not only maintain social distance and don’t panic, but also stay at home, and utilize there productivity tips when working from home🌟
Ya I agree man. Plus everyone has so much more time now don't you think?
Demetri Panici Exactly, it’s the perfect time to start investing in yourself
I agree. Most importantly we do the things productively with this quarantine period working on the stuff we can't handle during working schedules. Let us spend working with our skills, family and most importantly meditating the words of God especially that we are about to commemorate the forthcoming Holy week.☺
Marvillo Mista That’s so true my friend! Where are you from?
I'm so glad you are making these videos, for the past few weeks I have been so anxious and unproductive and you really motivate me to stick to my schedule again.
Love the engagement that you have while speaking, makes it feel both casual and professional! Great video, I'm loving the Martin Habit Tracking system so I will definitely try out this new one too!
You guys keep improving every aspect of the overall quality of these videos (which was already incredibly high) and that's just amazing, keep up the great work!
i totally agree, the production level is so HIGH and its awesome
Method to choose the important:
After reading GTD and The power of simplicity:
Choose 3 main projects (personal and work, 3 un total)
- First thing for me: Rutins that mantain your body and mind ready to work.
- Second: Your next step in your on of projects (important).
- Third: An urgent task (not important)
The MOST IMPORTANT TASK should be just 3 things to accomplish during the day (next steps+ urgents).
After that easy things.
Write It down where You can see It all the time. No mobile, you are tempted to distract.
That is It.
I hope It helps!!
Great vídeo!! I will rewach It Many times!
- Quarter: Rest
Thank you, Thomas! I used to watch your videos on how to be an effective student. Now you help us know how to be effective on our goals! May God bless you with faith and strength to finish you tasks and goals more effectively and on time! 💖
Thank you for this value-adding video! I really like the kanban method and the kitchen method! Love your videos so much because I almost always walk away with new ideas or relearn old ideas ♥️
YOU THE MAN THOMAS! Thanks for inspiring creators like me to pursue showing productivity from our own perspectives!
Would you take a look at it and tell me what you think?
Your attention to detail, not just in setting the background and stuff but in the little Easter eggs that you give in your script is pretty cool.
You look straight out of madmen I’m loving this
Thank you so much Thomas! This helps a lot. It feels like I took an in-depth, immersive course on working from home. You covered all aspects of it. Great job!
Dapper! Looking good Thomas. Great video. I can't wait to try these things out, I have been having a pretty hard time managing myself with starting freelancing what with Corona and all. Thanks so much.
Thomas peaked with this one. Not that his later ones are sub-standard, there's just something about the tips, the systems, the script and the visuals that just basically gels so well together. This is by far my favourite productivity vid not in terms of motivation, but the perspective it gives. Thanks Tom!
This is AMAZING Thomas! I’ve taken your advice and it had changed the game in my productivity with both business & life. Really enjoy your videos. Keep making awesome content:) THANK YOU!
I’m a retiree and managed a lot of emergencies with siblings and my family over the past year. I’m really benefiting from your videos as although I’m not finished with all I need to do for them, it’s helping me restructuring my life. Thank You! LC
Stuck at home and grateful for this information. Thanks!
Wow Thomas! The visuals of this video are so nicely done! I love the new set and camera placements!
I love these videos man. I’ve used a note taking system I learned from you in my university courses and it’s helped me greatly. Thanks man, great work.
He always has the best tips
I REALLY enjoyed this video! It is something I have needed for a LOOOONG time. I appreciate how it was done and I will definitely watch it again and take notes.
We all need more productivity especially with all these new technological distractions haha
I am so glad to have stumbled upon you. Our areas of work are different but everything you say is so applicable to me. You also say it in an easily digestible and engaging manner. Thank you!
I mean productivity can be utilized in all fields. With his content style, he makes the videos much more engaging haha.
Loved the set, the cloth style and the music choices. Thanks for putting so much effort Thomas! You're awesome!
Thomas looks like he could be Chris Pratt's chiller little brother
Lovin the new set and continued high-quality production value
i agree, the new set looks great and production level is NEXT level
Really needed to hear this, thanks Thomas!!
I'll not call you Sir but a real friend.
You have no idea how your videos helped us, been here for long time my routine is better than before.
Hats off buddy.......
Was literally about to search for a video like this, when this video showed up first on my feed! Thank you Thomas for helping us try to keep sane 😎👍
Your videos are literally being the highlight of my quarantine days. Keep up the fantastic work Thomas, also fantastic lighting & setup
I feel the same, its a highlight to the quarantine days
4:53- such a brilliant execution of the literal meaning. Great video!
i totally agree with you
Another banger brother, keep it up
Love the Martin-Kitchen System! It just works so much! And if you think of all 4 of the lists as actual stoves, you'll eventually have to address them (as martin was alluding to) otherwise they'll burn and the food (in this case the project/task) will be ruined
I love your outfit and the vintage mis en scene you're going for in this video! This art direction is definitely making you look more sophisticated and your videos more professional. Suave and informative, love it!
Love the reel-to-reel in the background, awesome set dressing!
Your videos inspire me to be productive. This is also excellent quality, even down to the wardrobe. Good job to you and your team!
Perfect timing. Awesome content as always, Thomas 💜
I love the Kanban Method, but i know it takes so much consistency especially working within my comfort zone at home.
Mate, your videos are always so useful! Thanks to you and your team for putting all these quality videos our there.
3:45 Heey! The Netherlands. I live there. Nice. Now I will continue 😂
Just to let you know, you has saved me in so many ways just by making these awesome videos! Thank you so so so much Thomas!
This helped us a lot for our video making process! Great content for times like these!
You’ve inspired me so much, I’ve had a great idea what to do to have it all organized now. Thank you 🙏
Can't wait to meet Derek one of these days. Sounds like a fun guy.
Separating deadlines from "intention to work on something" has been super important for me! I've tried all the apps, and I keep ending up back at Things 3 for exactly this reason. I can have lists categorized more "classically" (Work/School/Personal/etc.), with hard deadlines on each item/project. But, I can also add times to actually work on those items.
I've 19y and I'm doing this strategies since seven years or more , and it's really works !
I keep going and i learn more , I also see a huge development !
Thank you for the video , helpful and inspiring !
I'm using the kitchen system at the moment and it makes much more sense than my old categorization system. Thank you❤
Hello Thomas. I want to start off by saying that I'm a huge fan! I've been watching your videos for some time now and you've helped me learn so much about productivity. I didn't even know there was a school of thought about productivity science until I came across your channel.
Request: Can you do a video about managing cognitive load while working from home. I have a strong processing speed and I find myself getting super tired (i.e., mentally exhausted by the end of the day). I'm an instructional designer, and this is a new role for me. It involves so much from visual and graphic design, to planning course material with subject matter experts, and more. I'm finding myself getting distracted, taking more frequent breaks just to get through some of the monotony. What can I do to manage my cognitive load during the working day so that I can be better at my role?
So much value! Well played.
Ok frank I'm convinced you have mind reading powers overwhelmed with home, teens and college work from home wishing for a Thomas Frank video and dah dah your there with the exact subject we need !!😄
Ahaha was thinking the exact same thing!!!
Very useful. Thanks for being consistent.
Hey Thomas! Thanks for the video. And your outfit is just super great 👍🏻
I love the Kitchen Martin system! I’m going to try it out. Thank you!
Thanks for the tips, Thomas. Not sure how I'll implement them but it was a great information for me.
Thank you so much for the video it was very helpful.
You are the Best!! Thanks a lot for your videos!!!
I love the new set and your outfit! Getting some old school detective vibes. I like Martin's Kitchen Method too. I'm gonna try it out. I think it will work for me. Thank you
Thirsty person: Hel-loooo Daddy
Thomas Frank: I’m not your dad
Damnit!
That was awesome! I agree with you. A lot of people are waiting for motivation to start working, but we don't really need to be motivated to follow a plan. However, when I AM motivated, I leverage that time to develop the vision for my projects or make plans. I use checklists for every day in my work - I know exactly what I need to accomplish each day of the week to keep a pulse on my personal and professional life. And then I just follow the lists. Martin's Kitchen System sounds very interesting too.
Can you make a video on how to be productive during quarantine ? How to fill you day with meaningful things to do
Gosh I miss your videos. I revisited this one to think through how I want to plan my summer days now that school is out. I think it's perfect for teachers.
Starting an internship on Monday at a company I'm really excited about. But working remotely so this is super helpful ❤️
Thank you for doing the recap at the end.
Thank you Thomas!
Something that works so well for me and can be added to all these systems. If something pops into your head you want to procrastinate on, write it down in a todoist list called "rewards". Use that to motivate you by using the pomodoro method and do a "reward" during your 5 min break. For me this is often amazon shopping or getting a cup of tea or snack or chatting with someone. This works by using your dopamine response to motivate you, and create strong habits. Reducing alcohol use has also has increased motivation and helped manage habitual behaviours which are especially sticky in our home environment, I've found.
Really helpful video. Thx Tom. Special mention that to do list apps with scheduled time, as Martin mentioned, tend to be rescheduled frequently as some tasks took longer than expected time, something urgent cropped up,etc., making alot of overdue tasks for today, hence not very helpful.
Absolutely loved it!
I really like the kitchen system (though I would prefer different analogies). That would have been really useful for me when I started college and had no sense of the duration of each task. Great video, as always!
Thomas Frank, thank you for your excellent videos!
This video really is done well :)) Good job Thom!!!
definitely a creative way of setting different tasks apart, I'm digging it. :D
Always love your videos!!
I WILL LOVE (there is no a single vídeo about productivity doing It) A REAL EXAMPLE!! Just go, and organice your day, step from step, letting us see It, and then, perform It!! It will be great!
Thank you! Very useful information :)
You're my daily inspiration!!
Didn't expect to see Don't Starve here today but I'm pretty happy about it
Love the video and the timing! I've been struggeling with this for the last couple of weeks orso.
And nice vest by the way, love the outfit. ;)
i'm totally with you on the vest, the outfit is so cool
Keep pioneering. 🔥
Omg...so relatable! working from home is challenging.
It's a learning space, not a judging space, DEREK!!!
It looks perfect and soft for eyes.
Love the Kitchen System! Very smart system for us developer types!
Love it,
especially the new studio
Thomas looks very SOPHISTICATED with that suit & those spinny things in the background
The aesthetics of this video and your outfit are ON FLEEK
Helps a lot with this whole situation 💪
Thomas you are trying to look dapper in every thumbnail so I will fall in love with you huh, well its working!!!
haha, this is so funny
