Ok so it turns out the "Eisenhower Complex" is way more commonly known as the "Eisenhower Matrix" so if you want to find a template for that, Google the latter, not the former. ALSO, THANK YOU FOR 1 MILLION SUBSCRIBERS. SEE YOU IN THE NEW YEAR!

Great Content! Keep it up!

[@DerekJFiedler]

Let's go with the "matrix" ;)

[@barath4545]

1: Do the worst-first strategy. Don't start with fun, start with the most boring or dreaded thing to do. 2: Braindumping. Got 6 things on your mind? ... Write things down to stop thinking about it. Optionally use Eisenhowers matrix to sort things in 4 categories and execute upon that. 3: Mindfullness. Meditate, or Enter the present, rather than the default brain setting of "looking at it".

[@rishiyogil.n.7222]

because less traffic more productivity

[@ScrubsTheNewcomers]

Because it‘s hard to start, let‘s be honest. Most of us have their attention span and ability to focus fucked by smartphones, social media etc and are constantly overstimulated. Something as „boring“ as literally just sitting and breathing doesn‘t give us the quick instant gratification that we are used to. I think meditation should be implemented in schools and at workplaces more, it could literally change the world.

I’m trying your tips from the video about being tired. Can’t say I’m doing everything you pointed out as I read before bed from my phone and other stuff that might contradict my fight for rest. I am only 3 days in and I never thought it could get any better. My mental health fucked up my sleep and then no matter how much I slept, I would always feel tired, and that even made it harder to be mentally stable, like a cycle. I decided it was time to change as restlessness was taking over my life, I couldn’t even walk inside my house and I would get sleepy right after breakfast. I’m trying the coffee technique you explained in your video, also the sleep window, the room ambience, etc. And it’s going pretty well so far. Might try what you present in this video, but what I really wanna say is thank you for making these. ❣️

The brain dumping - can’t express how much that resonates with me! The physical list is definitely what I need, unfortunately when I come to write it I get severe perfectionist paralysis to do the most effective, strategic list of what I need to do in my life, which then adds to the brain fog and leaves me overwhelmed, then the list sticks and stagnates in my brain. But literally the idea of of just dumping it - no system, no strategy, no pressure, just in any order the thoughts come, feels so much lighter and easier to tackle! In fact, I’m about to do it right now. Thank you for smashing this mental boulder I’ve had for a while 😁

[@sulaimaanamin2983]

What I've found that really helps with organisation, structure and productivity as well as mental clarity. I wake up in the morning and open my book of to do lists, every page is a new day, I write what things I need to get done through the day (being through in this) and as the day goes by whatever tasks I have completed, as little as they may be, gets highlighted in green. After the day has ended I come back to my to do list and any tasks which have not been filled out gets highlighted in red. I feel as if the colors help you see what you may be prioritisng and how productive you are being at the end of each day. It's also an incentive to want to have a whole page full of greens, compared to the previous day in which you had one red task which annoyed you. The visualisation of the two colours also has an indirect effect on your brain green being "good" red being "bad. You could also calculate your productivity throughout the day and see whether it's increasing or decreasing.

[@neurodivergentlily]

"do the number one difficult thing first in the day" it works for SOME people. If you have problems with initiation or transitioning between activities, it may be better to do an easier task first to conquer the inertia problem (my biggest struggle is just STARTING so if I know it doesn't matter if I fail or not, it's easier for me to begin to do the thing). Keeping a gradual increase/decrease of dopamine in your tasks is still important, so transition into your harder activity as you feel works best, but yeah - keep in mind that you may be different and THAT IS VALID. You are valid.

I think we all agree upon wrinting things down. As the man says, it tells you what's first and what's later, you don't live with anxiety, fear or stress about the things you have or want to do thinking when it's the right time to do it, you just planned it and then do it when it's time, that's all! This is the most important part of the tips, and I don't think writing things down digitally like in your phone will help because then you will be overwhelmed by the apps you have in your phone and then later forget about it. Rather just keep a notebook (a journal if possible) where you can put it all in, your thoughts, tasks, information about certain stuff etc... I'll do this now on, it will be life changing I bet

[@elizabethcarney6820]

Your brain-dump concept is similar to the morning pages concept in Julia Cameron's "The Artist's Way": every morning, I spend 30 minutes just writing out my stream-of-conscious, and it usually looks something silly like "I need to renew my car's registration today. Why hasn't Sue called me back? I really like that plant in the corner, maybe I should get another one." Although it's a silly read, it's been *really* helpful to dump all of my worries, questions, thoughts, hopes, dreams out first thing in the morning so I can focus during the day.
