Not Humphrey making me spend my remaining 100$ when I came here to learn how to buy a house 😭

[@humphrey]

We gotta figure out a way to make you more money then!!

[@business.biography]

Ahaha relatable

[@roman7954]

The locking cookie jar is scary. People are so addicted to their phones that they can’t just put it down, they need to spend money to not be able to use their phone. Very dystopian

[@CaedenV]

I was doing real good about starting to put my phone down more often... and then I was required to put 2-factor on everything I do at work as well as my home life. Its like every 20-30 minutes I need a 2-factor code for something or other, and then its like "oh, while I'm on here...."

[@nanjb1542]

@@CaedenV same experience here, was dedicated to putting the phone down and use less, but work requires authentication code for all our programs

[@MamaOwlbear]

If you do these types of videos, I think just don't do them too frequently. So many creators end up with these types of videos being a big focus and starts to support heavy consumerism. I do love your content. And I did buy that timer 😂 I will be using it to track my study habits. I plan to buy a sunrise alarm clock, I am still debating on the phillips one vs the hatch restore.

[@rachelhanako]

I suggest a smart light bulb! I have a knock off Phillips hue lightbulb and my light wakes me up everyday

[@bryan8638]

Lol, don't do it man, these things are all 100% unnecessary and wasteful

[@gabriellecurboy8890]

I think you just sold me on that alarm clock 😂 I set my own hours for work so I'm always waking up at completely different times, which makes it so hard when I need to wake up early. I've been trying to get myself on a better sleep schedule and this might just be the trick I need!

[@humphrey]

glad to hear that! Its a game changer IMO

[@cJeremy]

coffee machine is a must. paying 7 bucks for Starbucks everyday is total insanity for regular people.

[@humphrey]

exactly

[@Jayderzomb]

In my opinion having to drink coffee to not be sleepy is a L. Coffee should be for the occasional use not the regular or else you’ll feel shit once you don’t drink it

[@webdriverguy]

@@Jayderzombmoderate coffee consumption is good for you. The trick to this is knowing when to drink coffee. You just can’t drink coffee anytime of the day

[@yurareigiryu]

​@@JayderzombI agree with you, but many people succeed despite their addictions. If you want to cut the caffeine and it brings you focus, go for it. If you can afford to drink it and that brings you happiness, then do that too. Whatever works for you.

[@jesskween]

Agree!! A big change in my life!

[@jcschoner8815]

I laughed so hard at the lock cookie jars 😂, but I probably need one! Love this video and find I can use the backpack pretty well! Traveling with it, will be so convenient! For coffee, I like to hand grind and make it with French filters, I can use the filter beans for my garden and actually being great 👍 sustainable fertilizer

[@klimentiykenzikeyev]

Great video. Useful suggestions. I've been using Philips wake up light for years. I love it. The only negative thing about it is that you are not able to completely turn off the clock (displayed time). Sometimes I may have anxiety of not getting enough sleep by waking up in the middle of the night and looking at the clock. I wish there was a setting that allows to completely turn off the digital clock (and not simply dim it to the lowest setting). Otherwise, it's a great product.

[@tarashrynchuk3118]

I’d like to add one more item: a set of microfiber car wash towels. Mine was $30 gift from my spouse 5 years ago, and it saved me hundreds of dollars in car wash. Yes, it takes more time and effort to clean your car than just driving it through a car wash tunnel, but hey, that’s $10 every single week.

[@tawtao]

Thanks for the analog timer. It's really good to keep in the productive stage.

[@Alejandro_C62]

I bought a Technivorm Moccamaster and I haven’t felt the need to go to Starbucks at all. The coffee it makes is outstanding.

[@EricsonHerbas]

I like these product suggestions. The backpack suggestion was useful. The have the same Manfrotto tripod stand. I'm a fitness instructor at 24 and it's super useful for taking selfies with my students.

[@henry_carrero]

Loved the video! All great suggestions. You and I have more in common than we’d probably admit. 😂 YETI water bottles, credit cards, peak design bags… 👏🏽

[@user-di7mx2el8t]

You might enjoy using sleep cycle as an alarm while you travel. You set an ideal wake up time range and the app uses your phones mic to monitor your movement and starts playing bird/nature noises when you’re in the lightest stage of sleep. It wouldn’t be perfect for you bc you’d need to keep your phone near your bed, but it could be a nice alternative while traveling :)

[@humphrey]

Oh wow, i can look into that

[@crunchingwithcris]

I like the light to wake up, curious to try it 😊

[@humphrey]

It’s amazing

[@huwinner2428]

I’ve had one of those sunrise alarm clocks for a year and definitely my best purchase. I got a cheaper one on Amazon for like $30 and it makes waking up so much easier jow

[@thomasveleba9261]

Dude, TSA precheck is a hard-core sleeper on this list!!!!! It's freaking worth it. I travel on average once a month for work, so I see that general line and it's absolutely BONKERS sometimes. Saves me so much time as I'm through the precheck line in less than 15 minutes most times

[@sherryjackson8474]

What is a TSA precheck?

[@thomasveleba9261]

@sherryjackson8474 if you go to the airport, it's a line that moves quicker than general boarding. General boarding makes you take off shoes, belt, watch, jewelry, and separate all electronics from your bags To get TSA precheck, you do a background check of sorts ($80 for a 5 year membership or something like that) to be able to skip that hole process. It's much less of a pain, so if you travel somewhat frequently, it's worth looking into

[@jollama]

@@sherryjackson8474Forgot what Google was huh?

[@jollama]

@@thomasveleba9261Don’t help idiots. Your time is worth more than acting like a customer service agent in a comment section

[@jeremydudet]

Nice! I like the timer and the alarm clock

[@VarietyGabe]

Jar sounds like a great idea for me personally since I do time restricted feeding so any little snacks that I know I cant have a lot of I can set a timer for just after I eat my dinner and reset it afterwards. I liked the suggestions great videos as always they really got me down a rabbit hole of self awareness and improvement and I'll probably be eternally grateful!

[@humphrey]

Thank you! Yes the cookie jar is iconic and makes a huge difference

[@beltingtokra]

Great video, i might ask my family for the alarm clock at Christmas... yes with the cc too, i got one once but a 0% one and only to buy a laptop for starting my side hustle. I was terrified of it so i paid it off well in advance but it was a good call in the end 😊

[@BgirlSakura]

I second the Peak Design bag. I currently have the 20L Peak Design Zip bag that I got used for a pretty decent price. The changeable compartments make it super easy to customize my travel gear based on the trip. Can comfortably fit my laptop, drone, camera + 2 lens, some snacks and some extra clothes. I also like the extra pockets they provide to make organizing smaller stuff much easier.

[@TexasAlabama]

Love this Humphrey!!! I have been thinking about finding something more sustainable for paper towels and this was my sign. :-) I'm going to get a pack of those towels.

[@bladeddavid1144]

Might try the light and towels

[@TrustedNewsRoom]

Sketch. Great Idea. Thank you!!!

[@CaedenV]

Truly, when hitchiking around the galaxy the first and most important thing is to know where your towel is.

[@elena_a-2023]

I love the his video! Thank you for your recommendations! I would love to get me the lamp, the cookie jar, and that sketch book. I have TSA check and it is the BEST!! I also use towels for cleaning purposes. I have cloth napkins for food (and reusable cutlery that I take everywhere). I use a French press for my coffee… thanks again and I love the video!

[@Jayderzomb]

I think the towels and the clock will be a definite buy for me, thanks man!

[@humphrey]

Any time!

[@Ryan-qn2bm]

Hump Day reader, love the suggestions, keep up the good work!

[@rssmith289]

This video is fantastic! It gives me ideas on how to make my like easier. I appreciate the time you take to make these videos. I would probably buy the alarm that mimics real sunlight.

[@humphrey]

Glad it was helpful!

[@cadenbanke7544]

great video! I have the yeti water bottle and my only gripe with it is that i’ve had to replace the cap twice in a little over 2 years. the screw in aspect dissolves with time if you screw it on too tight

[@AuricomOne]

I genuinely enjoyed this style of video. I think if you were to pepper them here and there, perhaps like what you've done (prior to Black Friday)/Holiday season, Prime Day, or something along those lines, I would definitely give it a watch. I'd added several items you'd shared to my wish list(s) for myself and as potential gifts for Christmas. I still do enjoy watching your other videos, but liked this and wouldn't mind seeing them again.

[@zandermint6831]

Already had the alarm clock, backpack and cloth napkins. Funny enough, I guess I’m predisposed to agree 😂

[@business.biography]

Always worth shopping at Cisco man !

[@user-sc2nm5tj1s]

I loved the chase Freedom unlimited card. I literally used it for all the company trucks at a job I work at they give me the cash I use that card and I have made about 200 dollars on top of the 200 dollar new member bonus

I have a hand towel by my computer desk because I eat by my computer and use it all the time. LOL. Instead of a sketchbook, I have a cheap erasable lcd tablet that I use for notes since I tend to just throw post it notes and paper notes away when I'm done. I just use my phone as a timer/stopwatch.

The knock off yetis are like 15$ at Marshall’s and have cool designs on them I got like 4 because I’m an athlete and I normally carry 2 around (I hate and will not use a water fountain) and they will stay cold for over a day if filled with ice they worked way better then my under amour thermos but if you want the name brand go for it just for me it wasn’t worth splurging 40$ on each Yk

[@teresapribilski1493]

@@brianfredricks9234 I'm thrifty. My friends would joke that I wouldn't do a lecture/talk unless a meal was provided. And they were correct. Volunteered at an all day outdoor kid event because they provided the adults with a free Yeti, lunch, tee shirt & my job let me do it on company time. I did that for 6 years.

I like the kitchen towel one and some of the productivity hacks but the other suggestions seemed frivolous. For the ladies out there, buy a menstrual cup.

I’m a big fan of trunk organizers for vehicles which is great for quickly/efficiently storing groceries plus stuff like first aid kits, jumper cables, etc. I use a bag that is similar to a shaving kit to keep all the loose stuff in my backpack in (pens, medicines, cellphone chargers, cables, earbuds, etc) so I’m never having to fish through my backpack for small things when traveling… I mix dish detergent and vinegar in spray bottle for a cheap shower/bathtub and toilet bowl cleaner. Also, AirTags or tiles for backpack and bag to keep track of things. Add some unique masking tape (pink polka dot) to luggage to quickly spot it on a baggage carousel

[@humphrey]
