Hope you enjoyed this video! I can't believe that we are approaching 200,000 subscribers! Can't thank everyone enough

[@frikandelspeciaal1431]

Good video Nate, i follow you for some time tanks for the video from 🇳🇱 bye for now.

[@muskanchauhan1752]

Ur videos are inspiring and finally i have pushed myself to lern something new and keep my schedule busy.thanks🌸

[@matthewpaulbusinessinvesti5649]

Sleeping in was a huge problem it seemed like if I was up late and woke up late I was stuck tried all day. Being on a consistent schedule is key!

[@NateOBrien]

It’s a dangerous cycle!

[@YssaMD]

I thought it was just me who gets really tired when I sleep more than i should and woke up late. Nobody gets me at home. So yeah i wake up earlier as much as I can.

[@dianer8881]

With age, insomnia rules your life. Sleep late and take naps.

[@maureenhunter11]

Hi Nate.. im 81 and love your helpful information.. keep on doing what you do so well.

[@arwazaz6329]

You really deliver best quality content with best values

[@lexigolden1793]

I’ve finally found a channel with real advice

[@NickPeitsch]

Businesses ALWAYS try to increase productivity and efficiency... so why shouldn't people too? Great video Nate - quality content!

[@smartjoe5258]

I think exposure to natural light helps with productivity as well since it improves mine.

[@NateOBrien]

Me too 100%

[@user43643]

I am 21,Nate is 21 but his head is filled with gems and I am that gem collector🔥😛

[@KevinConwayChannel]

Let me just put off what I was doing to watch Nate's video. Wait...

[@NateOBrien]

This video should be a worthwhile investment

[@InvestingEducation]

A shorter work week is more productive because we hav more personal time. For me it gives me more time to read up about investing and share my thoughts

[@calvinraab8798]

For me it was al about very diligent and precise scheduling. Keeping to a schedule kept me focused and didn't let me procrastinate.

[@aishwaryasam5805]

absolutely love this man

[@TimRoseOfficial]

Love the tip about not having your phone with you at night Nate. That's a definite problem for a lot of people!

[@pkinfante6737]

Nate always coming through with the best vids 🔥

[@NateOBrien]

Thank you!!!

[@uncledaybkk]

Great list! Thanks and keep the videos coming.

[@laurasosa859]

Extremely helpful. Definitely going to implement these into my daily routine

[@InvestingHustler]

Great advice nate 🙏 writing down your goals always works !

[@NateOBrien]

It really does!

[@hanniachavez8509]

You are really my inspiration ! Keep doing videos like this!

[@influencerunchained-digita4763]

Excellent tips, Nate! 🔥 I always set my phone to Airplane Mode before I sleep to cut out the notifications *and* any potentially harmful electromagnetic waves!

[@MorganKJohnston]

Awesome! Can't wait to use these to maximize my day!!

[@veenaramachandran3480]

thank you nate.learned a lot in this video

[@JStorm90TV]

Productvity is difficult and this video just helped me thank you love the channel

[@ChachiTelevision1979]

Excellent vid. I use daily lists and bullet journaling to track my tasks, goals, and accomplishments. Been doing it for more than a year and it has changed my life and made me far more productive than ever.

[@DaltonBrewer]

Hey man been watching your videos for a bit now and just wanted to say thanks for all the GREAT content! A lot of these tips I've already incorporated in my day, and some I'm still working on. I used to be a night owl too, but I learned for me personally getting up early around 5 AM is the best because I can get things done early and conquer the day!

[@Shari-Attarian]

I'm so thankful for your videos, you are wiser than many of other people that I know.

[@joeyyears]

Thank you Nate

[@fateme.h1378]

thank u for ur videos !

[@YogaMeetsDance]

Thank you!!!

[@cherylbranigan9612]

Thanks for all these tips. Definitely need to stop rushing off to distractions in the middle of a task. It goes along with trying to multi-task, you end up accomplishing the small distractions while the big goal/task was left unfinished. There's procrastination again masked as busy.

[@DanielIles]

Graham’s laziness video yesterday then this today. It’s like adderall in video form.

[@Lisa.M.J]

😁 I noticed they were on the same wavelength there too.

[@queenapple9012]

I find that taking breaks btw unit reviews help me. Or playing a video I want watch while watching what I need to learn like Matt helps since I learn visually.

[@charlesfrank7599]

Thanks Nate, great tips.

[@ritvikgulati1842]

Great video, thank you!

[@sanoski24]

Great tips! Phones can be an amazing tool to actually use towards a business, but they also can be an extreme distraction.

[@CromeFitnessLtd]

Great video thank you so much! It brings back some similar points I heard listening to The Productivity Project! Thanks a lot Nate!

[@TriEdgeGaming]

getting a dog, and committing to taking good care of it helped me get more active (and sociable).

[@Ecophiles8]

I have learnt a lot from your videos. Thank you Nate 🧡

[@FindTheSeven]

Nate I listen to your videos while walking and running at the park.

[@JdaPhoeniX9]

Thank you for another high quality realistic video! Salute 💎

[@tis831]

Congrats on being verified, Nate! Love your videos and content and want you to go very far! (:

[@truthefish9715]

thank you

[@jackieferrarimusic]

I think another good tip is to do fewer things. super good to cut out things that are not needle movers. sometimes paying people to help you do things that take up lots of time like grocery shopping, video editing, cooking, etc. so you can get your time back and focus on the top things that you're good at.

[@TimRoseOfficial]

Love when your new videos go live Nate! Awesome tips my friend, and you're getting so close to 200K! Blown away my friend and super happy for you! Keep it up! :)

[@jaxx-inspiregrowcreate2862]

*Goals really make all the difference!*

[@NateOBrien]

They really do!

[@eliem9900]

this was truly helpful thx

[@FJParravicini]

Super important to prioritize. I think these videos will really help a lot of people that need to hear this kind of stuff. You're starting to upload more regularly, getting on that YT ding

[@miescuelitadecolores9889]

Thank you 😁😊

[@TheGiantfox]

Such amazing content Nate im surprised there arent more viewers!! Thanks for all the great content!

[@NateOBrien]

Thank you!

[@nyxky516]

you’re the best Nate! Thanks for these advise.. somehow he also emphasize of life balance.

[@elementnature3966]

Thank you very much for sharing !! I already use severs of these tips you're talking about. Will focus on turn off my phone during the hours when I do my task, and avoid distraction. Also reacting is defenitely a trap. So by turning off my photo I can gain peaceful time to achieve my task. I'm enthousiatic to add those good tools and will try it right now !

[@torr5952]

This guy is great...

[@cornyrocha267]

You vídeos are excellent. I appy everything you teach us to My life. Thanks...

[@PatrickCogen]

Great tips Nate! Moving your body and sleeping are important for higher performance! Keep up the great work! Love from small youtuber :)

[@WBToolNews]

Saying No to stay focused, but not to everything. Good point.

[@LesterDiaz]

Congrats on almost hitting 200k subs man, I started the YT hustle as well and close to hitting 10k subs, hopefully I’ll get to your level in the next coming year.

[@NateOBrien]

Thank you Lester!

[@mitchelljakobi6860]

Was cleaning my room while listen to your ''multi tasking'' topic lol Good content!

[@EverydayJayy]

i love your videos!

[@NatePolmateer]

Great video Nate, enjoy this and so much of this video is applicable to me. I am highly distracted with my adhd. Thanks again brother, your changing the world one video at a time!

[@mjahidyousef2151]

theres something new to learn from everybody, even kids!

[@nizzanazareno4466]

binge watching your videos lately 👍

[@shermicachandler9427]

I definitely need to stop sleeping with my cell phone and pressing snooze 2-3 times before work. It would be great to wake up when the alarm sound or 15-20 minutes before the alarm goes off. Great video!

[@evapagpaguitan]

Great content🙌🏻🎉

[@extracurricular1]

As the day goes on we also get decision fatigue which makes taking action so much harder. I used to go gym when I was at university and had time to spare, but now gym has to be in the morning otherwise, I’ll make a million excuses and overthinking it just makes me want to do it less. 😂😂

[@VioletIsBulletproof]

Lol. Im opposite. I love hitting the gym(kinda depressed gyms r closed. Running outside just isnt enough). After work im mentally fried but physically dying to work out (desk job). After workout i also usually feel good physically and mentally.

[@RavenValkyrie]

Ah, another upload from Nate. 👌

[@NateOBrien]

Thank you!

[@sofiayug5817]

He's so handsome 😵❤❤

[@lebaochau1668]

That’s the point

[@emilyve]

true words

[@kate03-]

😂😁

[@richeytbfit]

great video, read DEEP WORK! productivity hacks!

[@ProfessionalTycoons]

thank you for this video

[@NateOBrien]

Thanks Jae!

[@dchrysostom]

This young man is a Genius...

[@deeannawendt8210]

Great video

[@ashjoma]

My son is almost 22 and has just moved out of home. He is a minimalist and has very few items by choice. But he needs to listen to this

[@zz-ic6vy]

Thank you. Amazing tips! I already applied one - wrote tonight list for tomorrow. So much to do though😥😅

[@aba22125]

I actually enjoy working at night and waking up at 2-3PM. That's what drives me - this kind of lifestyle. When I had a typical 9-5, I was forced to wake up at 4:30AM and I had about 4-6 hours of sleep each night. It was agonizing. That's the pain that drives me, if I feel lazy, I just look back at the time I had a job and boom, productivity skyrockets. Because I know if I don't work hard enough on my own business and cashflow, I'll be forced to get back to the slavery that's a job.

[@thestreamoflife1124]

For a young gentleman your very with it .... excellent 👍 👍. Ur funny too ... love ur thoughts about the phone

[@theetravisb]

I like the learn to say no. I just read something warren buffet said “what separates most successful people from really successful people is that they say no to almost everything”

[@NateOBrien]

Right on Travis, just make sure you’re not saying no to everything!

[@theetravisb]

Nate O'Brien hahaha well yeah. Good post man. I like them! I post super similar videos. I get some inspiration and ideas off yours !

[@un_defined]

I'm impressed how ppl can be so young handsome and smart simultaneously.

[@chanelleduggan1955]

True about no phone for the first hour

[@WhiteBoardFinance]

FIRST! (Always wanted to do that lol)

[@NateOBrien]

Gold medal 🥇

[@WhiteBoardFinance]

@@NateOBrien 😂😉

[@lianecornils8733]

Do it.

[@lianecornils8733]

Do it.

[@anitaares8271]

I have a flip phone. The "Not so smart phone" does not hold sway over me. This was a conscious choice.

[@JazminBautista]

Not only do you save money, but you also save time!

[@caror0]

You should start a podcast Nate!

[@rebeccaa2433]

I show this video to all of my freshman college classes.

[@ShaneHummus]

I always breakdown my work to a smaller task then after that I transition to small tasks to bigger tasks. So I won't work on my the harder tasks longer hours.

[@NateOBrien]

Love it!

[@PrizzT]

One of the criteria for job advertisements nowadays is multitasking. There were some moments I thought I am useless because I can't multitask. Until I watched videos about the power of focus, I felt much better.

[@womanzuzu9688]

Sweet

[@NateOBrien]

Thanks for watching the video!

[@TheFoxReview]

Great Idea. My girlfriend does tbat with her phone it is on other side of the room and definitely works the best 👌👌 thanks for sharing the great tips. Much appreciated

[@NateOBrien]

Appreciate the support! You should try it to

[@NateOBrien]

Too

[@TheFoxReview]

@@NateOBrien Yeah definitely :)

[@globalmuffin2]

Hahah, so you run away, hiding from your phone. lol Joking aside, this is one of the best vids that I've ever seen. And I don't say this every day.

[@oliverschubert8242]

What sleep monitoring device‘s/ system do you use, or recommend?

[@Gurutellme]

You are a great brother. 👌👌💖💖💖💖💖✅✅✅✅🌹🌹🌹🔥🔥🔥🔥😍😍😍😍😍 I have learnt so much of things from you that have helped me to have a better life. Thanks again.

[@NateOBrien]

Thank you 🙏🏼

[@bashfried]

I think the biggest pain that kept me being more productive and proactive is not being poor when retiring. Still about 37 years (turned 30 couple of months ago) to go, but here in Germany regular pensions are going to be very low (less than 45% of your regular income after 40-45 years of work) in the future due to demographic changes. Now I'm able to sleep well at night again knowing that I'm doing everything I can to prevent me from being poor now and being poor when retired.

[@whattime9789]

Good video! Why dont you do "a day in my life"?

[@kenlynch6332]

Time management & Time control are all important points for success. Choose a Job You Love, and You Will Never Have To Work a Day in Your Life (quote from Confucius ) 👍👍👍👍👍

[@NateOBrien]

Ken! You always leave some valuable knowledge for us! Thank you

[@aronasgilderman2974]

First and your hacks are useful

[@NateOBrien]

Thank you!

[@imanolluna3274]

i quit instagram and i blocked all notifications (also i enable do not bother) and now i'm more proactive. on the other hand, i exercise more and i think this helps me all mornings; i can focus on my stuff and this is really helpful. however, i liked your tips!

[@thestreamoflife1124]

The pain pleasure idea u must have gotten from The Giant Within ... Tony Robbins. Great book I read years ago

[@ryleightaylor3444]

Took an extra second to read in your description and I will admit, you have some interesting links there! Thanks!

[@smbandss21]

Jim Carrey-the inspiration man 😍😍😘

[@Ndasuunye]

I found so much value in this that I need to like the video. But in regards to laborit's law, should you still do that if you are done regular job by night fall or the little jobs can distract you from the big jobs? Like cleaning your room or taking out the trash BEFORE your girlfriend grills into you?

[@luckyme9130]

"I don´t have a stressful relationship." Ha ha ha. 😁 Well done. Thank you (seriously) for your awesome content!

[@ladybird491]

Not rare for a man to not have one, women have way more stressful for relationship due to narcissism running rampant in the male gender, 70% of narcissist being man, as a statistic fact.

[@j-willy4137]

It’s like you’ve been watching my bedroom... 😵, maybe I’ll try to plug my phone across the room tonight.

[@htoolo7297]

I like yr video
