10 small changes that will improve your life.

[@mattdavella]

Here’s the list. Which one do you want to work on next? 1. When you set your alarm before bed, put it on the other side of the bedroom. 2. Add one personal item to your work to-do list each day. 3. Keep a “Praise” folder in your email inbox. 4. Carry a water bottle with you everywhere you go. 5. Don’t go to sleep angry at the people you care about. 6. Invest in quality, non-processed, organic food. 7. Limit the junk food you bring into your house. 8. Leave your phone on silent and upside down at all times. 9. Write out a physical to-do list before you go to bed. 10. Take at least ten minutes each day to be still.

This might sound completely unrealistic, but something that has made a huge change in my life has been not using an alarm. I try to give my body the full rest it needs every night and it shows in my motivation and productivity the next day. This is probably more geared towards contractors or entrepreneurs, but holy cow it works.

When it comes to "Don’t go to sleep angry at the people you care about", I think it depends. If you get frustrated or upset with your partner late at night, sometimes it could be better to get some rest and re-evaluate your feelings in the morning. Bringing it up when both of you are tired is much more likely to lead to an argument. If you give yourself some time to rest and calm down, it's often easier to have a calm and productive talk about it.

[@RyanFila]

That one is really tough! I find myself going back and forth on that one.

[@Sona.LS.]

I agree.. if you’re both hot headed and speaking immaturely sometimes it’s a result from being too tired especially when you have kids! Sometimes it’s better to say ok you know what let’s just talk in the morning.. I still love you but I can’t empathize with you right now nor articulate my thoughts clearly

On the water thing: Don't know where this came from, but you _do not_ need 8 cups of water a day, individual needs vary widely. Drinking too much water can strip micronutrients and electrolytes from your system and leave you worse off. Drink when you're *_thirsty_* (by all means have water readily available when you are, which is Matt's point), and be sure to have plenty of sodium, potassium, chloride, and bicarbonate as these will help you from becoming dehydrated.

I appreciate the genuine recommendation for quality food. Investing in drinking clean, mineral water and eating organic pasture raised/grass fed/wildcaught foods has made a real difference in my health. It’s twice as expensive, but I know the animals were raised humanely on a farm eating quality foods and frolicking in the sunshine AND it tastes so much better and I feel so much better. My thyroid is very sensitive to halogens in the water supply, and I was able to heal hypothyroidism with quality water and seafood/fish after being a vegetarian for 10 years. When you can afford the quality option, slowly start integrating those options into your budget and diet wherever possible. An investment in local farmers and your health is nearly priceless.

Man, within 30 seconds your videos always inspire me and motivate me to do better, it's crazy.

[@elroimad8480]

I don't watch KZbin very often, but when a notification from your video appears. I never missed for watch

[@chrisbryce3988]

Another food documentary that has helped me and is similar to the ones you mentioned: Hungry For Change. I re-watch it every year or so for some healthy reminders.

[@MartyD]

Matt: You make a million dollars?! Natalie: You don’t?!

[@sauceguy19]

yes we watched the video

[@ElBoyoElectronico]

For me personally, not bringing alcohol and sweets into my home, is one of the best things I pay attention to lately. Also, getting over perfectionism is really important too. I am putting out my creative projects more and more easily. The worst thing to do, is thinking it has to be perfect before I put something out. That's why I finally started to upload stuff on KZbin like my drum cover. If nobody sees it, then I haven't lost anything, but if only a few people enjoy it, I am happy!

[@lumensnn]

Don't only put your phone upside down on silent! Put it out of the way! One of my colleagues told me to put my phone behind my laptop screen while I work, and that's one of the best pieces of advice I've heard

[@des1180]

You have added so much value. I will support you and your program, no matter what. Thank you for all the work you do to help us all be “better” people. Also, CONGRATULATIONS on LESS IS NOW. Such a huge fan of The Minimalists as well. Sharing with anyone that will listen, even if they don’t. I’ve been following a minimalist “lifestyle” for the last 4 years, with imperfections... Your videos continue to inspire and remind me of the life I truly desire. Wishing you and your wife, the very best.

I have actually had to stop carrying a bottle because I started having to take a piss every 20-30 minutes. Don't start overhydrating.

[@egg6649]

Unless you wanna lose weight, cause it’s really good for that.

[@adrik1141]

very rarely do people over hydrate, but it can be very dangerous

[@AhmetKaan]

Good point.

[@Tdog267]

"you can have snacks, just do it in moderation" Eats 3 cookies at the same time

[@angiekolobok]

About a year ago I started meditating for 10 minutes every day. This has been really the best change I’ve made in my life! (Right before corona hit lol)

[@MarcoBattocchia]

Watching your video and listening to the Ground Up Show are the two biggest changes in my life. Still enjoying your podcast for my early morning running. Thank you!!!

[@IevaKambarovaite]

I've had my phone on silence and my notifications disabled for the last two years. Something my partner suggested and I'll always cherish it. When I hear someone's phone ring it always catches me by surprise 😊 This is so aesthetically pleasing 🤤

[@LifeofKairo]

Those tiny daily improvements have a compounding effect 😉

[@lucylafleur1285]

I'm trying to get better at meditating

[@melanieroberts6561]

Me too

[@BehindtheBrand]

Matt, one more thing about going to bed angry...I don't believe everyone can benefit from staying up to work things out. In fact, there's a large body of research that says many conflicts happen as a result of fatigue when we don't have our the mental clarity. Many psychologists recommend a more custom-made approach for couples who decide on a case basis and are free to sleep on it or stay up late until they hug it out. Hope that helps! P.s. You look just like Ryan from The Office...and your video made me miss that show.

[@PlaceboEllie]

ohhh it's a bit

[@BehindtheBrand]

@@PlaceboEllie auto-correct lol

[@maleahsveinson8218]

Coming here to say this.

[@mozira7184]

interesting perspective.

[@rodrigomeneses8656]

Good comment, but what I think he means isn’t to solve the problem or to work things out before going to sleep, but to stop arguing and say that you’ll continue talking the next day or something like that, or say ok we are pretty tired right now let’s sort thing out tomorrow when we are on our right minds. For me it’s like imagine that person doesn’t wake up the next day you won’t feel bad or guilty that the last time you talked you argued of something that maybe even was insignificant

[@tanaybhomia2784]

I know its weird BUT The way Matt picks up his phone is so good

[@RyanFila]

Haha that’s one of those things that is so smooth it’s pleasing.

[@lukel909]

beautiful shots eh, and he’d clean his phone before shooting. the video tells us to get off them but it makes them look so appealing 😂

[@RyanFila]

@@lukel909 haha fact! The shimmer, the sleek look, wait I gotta check my Instagram!

[@AhmetKaan]

Hahahaha true

[@AltSpace]

On the alarm tip, if you wanna go extreme put your phone outside of your bedroom. Also download Alarmy and set it to where you have to do a math equation to turn the alarm off.

[@zainrajab648]

Before sleeping I used to put my phone beside me, I wake up on the alarm and as usual take a snooze. Then I decided to put my phone on the shelf above my bed, so I get up and closd the alarm. When I get up to close it I feel like I can wake up and start my day rather than close the alarm while I'm on the bed and continuing sleeping. It's so helpful !!

*searches for praise email: finds none

[@simeon-joelbrunner6875]

Thank you, Matt, I'm watching your videos for almost 3 years, and they pushed me to do more for myself and by myself. Last New Year's Eve I went to Berlin by myself and it was a very good experience because before I made this trip, I thought I can't make a Trip alone and I need to make a Trip at least with another person. This Trip gave me a lot of motivation for this year and upcoming projects. Thank you

[@EmilyMatthews]

meditating has single handedly changed my life, and I am forever frustrated with all the stigmas around self-care

[@MikeNic3]

Hey Matt can you do a video on how to manage your sleep pattern if you work overnight and what time should I get up

[@msbutterfly714]

Spending time outdoors always helps decompress yourself. Nature is awesome

[@YousufS16]

I say COMPLETELY get rid of junk food, just replace them with healthier versions. Ice cream = Anabolic ice cream, which is protein powder or Greek yogurt, fruit, natural peanut butter or powdered peanut butter, artificial sweetener and a crap load of ice. Chips = Baked potato wedges, Soda = diet soda and the best part is that you can eat them every day.

[@giraffegoesmoo]

That cactus near the bed makes me incredibly anxious 😂

[@advadr4240]

7:15 “But i do it with moderation” and eats 3 cookies in one go 😂❤️ Love ur videos❤️

[@TravelTourTaste]

Hey bro hope you are well. Sorry we haven't been able to visit you for a while we were in Bulgaria then Malta were we got stuck due to Covid. But great to catch up with you again. Thanks so much for sharing your experience and hints, tips with us i definitely will be taking these steps on board. Stay safe and catch up again real soon God bless.

[@gls3578]

I have a metal bottle for a while and I’m very happy with it ✨ It really curbs need for snacks, reminds me to drink more, and I’m very relieved that I know I’m not throwing plastic bottles into the nature. It’s one of those changes which looks so little but actually huge.

[@GabithWhyborn]

Meditation everyday is the most important habit you can devellop

[@erlingwikborg6076]

6:30 good thing you stopped drinking beer if that is how you pour one

[@pic0des]

was thinking the same thing

[@mo1976ney]

Haha, that looked so wrong to me too! I was taught (very) young to pour a Belgian beer for my Dutch dad who’d experienced the hunger winter (1944). And it wasn’t ever even an option to play with/ruin food (or stuff in general)!

Haven't seen your videos for a while Matt... JLT just COVID mundaneness...This video made me really regret missing out...This is superb...Put my phone face down while watching the video

[@nwaezeemmanuel9294]

Matt's empathy for others is just unbelievable!!!
