This was super helpful. I really appreciate hearing a PRODUCTIVE and creative person talk about the benefits of getting 8 hours of sleep! Thank you!

[@ChaseJarvis]

thx. it was a game changer for me

[@sebastiandix2280]

Chase Jarvis Are you serious about the fact that you really didn't know about the scientifically proven benefits of sleeping 7-8 hours per day? I mean didn't you learn this at school? Didnt you have Google? Or if you were so skeptical, couldnt you have just bought some books? I mean who doesnt realize this? I just dont believe sleeping 5-6 hours for 10 years is even possible and how you couldnt have realized that it was slowing you down.

[@tinakuczaj3958]

Sebastian Dix he thought genetically he was just a 5 hour sleeper .

[@tomdavison2784]

This reminds me of 'The Slight Edge' by Jeff Olson, do the small things right everyday and the rest of your life starts to fall into place.

[@studyeye]

1. Great advice. All makes perfect sense and a lot of it confirms what I've heard from other reliable sources. 2. Your home looks lovely. 3. Those whip sound effects were amazing.

[@DJGReviews]

Awesome video again! Getting up early instead of sleeping in makes a huge difference for me, when i was waking up late, i was lazy all day. Now i get up early, have a good routine and i'm much more pro-active

[@vallord73]

I'm fully digging the Bill Nye vibe of CJRaw. Thanks for sharing your morning routine. rolling into the day with intent is so key which I am still working on.

[@paulkporterofficial]

This will never get old. Thank you :)

[@ChaseJarvis]

It's been a game changer for me.

[@BartEdson]

Chase, thanks so much. You inspire me every week and have helped me re-imagine what my photography career can be. CreativeLive is the best thing to happen to the internet as far as I'm concerned, and the dozens of hours of content I've watched has unquestionably changed my photographer for the better. Thanks for holding up your torch and helping light the way for the rest of us.

[@HenzPowell]

I definitely do the protein breakfast thing, I also am a strong believer in giving yourself plenty of time before you start your day just waking up, not focusing on anything but just thinking. Would love to see an episode on your thought process throughout a photoshoot. From the starting idea to the concept, finishing with the final images to give to the client. Love your work!

[@canal.beagalvao]

I was missing Raw!!! Thank you so much to come back ♡♡♡

[@calvincropley]

Thanks so much Chase for all these videos! This is by far the favorite from the series! Since day one, it's has changed my life and get more out of my day! 😏

[@aigzo]

So thats what a champ morning schedule looks like!Im gonna add the meditation in my morning schedule!Thanks for the tips Chase!

[@chainlink781]

Great Video Chase. Get More Sleep: Getting more sleep for me is a must, at 50 years old I now sleep for at least 8-10 hours a night and I feel great. I feel healthier, more alive and focused on accomplishing my daily tasks. *Drink water every day: I like alkaline drinking water and coffee myself, water is the most natural way to clean my insides out which makes me feel better. *Meditate for 20 minutes: I have to admit this is something I need to work on. *Visualization: I like to imagine how my day will go and repeat it over and over until I can feel my inner force guide me through the rest of the day successfully, the main key is for me to have a positive outlook. *Eat healthy food such as protein and healthy fats for health. I like having a protein shake with blueberries in the mornings to complement preparation for going to the gym. *Moving my body daily or every other day such as going to the gym and stretching and exercise is a healthy way to wake the body up and get moving for the rest of the day.

[@jamez2u]

Chase, thanks for putting out these KZbin videos. I enjoy your useful tips and your natural energy. I watch others and their energy seems fake and if they are faking their energy what else are they faking. So since your honest about your energy ... well you get what I am saying. I am grateful I found this because I found myself being a bit grumpy to my wife this morning, I am going to use your list to start my morning tomorrow and look forward to sending my wife a happy message at work instead of an apology.

[@FernandoGros]

Brilliant! A lot of this is stuff I do when I'm at my best, so it's a great reminder to be at it every day! I'd love to see you do something on the other end of the day. I can find it really hard to switch off, especially when I'm on a project I love (or facing a deadline). So your ideas on ending the day well and getting ready for a good night's sleep would be appreciated!

[@DIHER87]

Thanks Chase I have incorporated some of this daily habits in to my life, specially the gratitude and visualization and I started to become more productive. Keep up the cool work!

[@kerhst]

So good to have you back on a regular basis, Chase! I would enjoy hearing a bit about your creative process for deciding what you want a shoot or video to look like and convey. How close to your vision do you final results come when the final product is ready and delivered?

I have no idea why I found your channel, but I'm glad I did. You're amazing!

[@jopotter25]

I'm gonna start being more consistent with my meditation and visualization in the morning. Thanks for helping get me motivated, Chase.

[@ChaseJarvis]

+Joe Potter it's gold Joe. get after it!

[@prestongervais]

Thank you, thank you thank you +Chase Jarvis! Very motivating. Love that you take time to focus on gratitude. I don't do this enough each day, but it's truly magical. I know you've talked about this before, but relating back to The Best Camera, I am curious to learn more about how you take, store / organize, etc. mobile photos. Also what apps you enjoy / what kind of editing tricks you might use. More importantly, how do you edit / organize photos in general on the fly & while travelling. Thanks again!

[@TuesQueen]

+Chase Jarvis Thank you for sharing your journey. You are truly an inspiration for me!!

[@jrboudreau]

Long time follower of Tim Ferriss and finally ok his advise to check out Chase. Fantastic. Binge in process!!

[@TimothyBoyle]

So happy to see you back in front of the camera! Love the show!

[@pfarinella]

Thanks for sharing, much much appreciated!

[@SpencerHogg]

TM. I've learned something new, I think I need something like this in my life. Thanks Chase!!

[@MrUniqueLiving]

I love love love the editing and the fun portions of the video. It keeps me engaged and would love to learn how to do this !

[@theaudreypuente]

Hello Chase! Your video just came up in my feed. I love your energy!

[@jacksontandy1915]

Thanks for sharing Chase. I found this video super helpful.

[@JeffreyRemick]

I like this. I've spent years hitting the snooze button... but I want to try getting up around 6am and having a similar routine. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@digitalartwerks]

Awesome inspirational video! You have everything on your list, that I have on mine. Except I do planning instead of meditation, and in addition I have a seventh. Learning to say no, which has made my life happy. Thanks for sharing. 1. Sleep 2. Hydrate 3 Visualize 4. Plan 5. Eat healthy 6. Get up get out and do something 7. Saying NO!

[@valentinamberg7137]

Will do this tomorrow morning. Thanks!

[@MrGara1994]

thanks for the advice! its really helpful! i mostly try to make at least an hour of exercise every day and have some fruits , buts its always great to have some other ways of starting the day!

[@ymeijdam]

Thanks Chase! The thing after 5-6 hours sleep 'happened' to me recently, so this definitely inspires me even more to work on my morning routine :)

[@TheMichaelMurt]

First things first Chase, GREAT show! My wife and I would love to see some of your video editing techniques. Thanks again man!

[@WhooNiki]

Thank you for this amazing video! I love the tips and the insight!

[@edrosario1748]

I love your energy, awesome!

[@magiccosplayuniverse]

Thanks for sharing this!

[@asyikok]

Thank you for the very interesting advice Chase!

[@michelemarquis6272]

Love this! I would love to see you discuss the morning routine with Matthew Kelly.

[@shadowravyn2011]

the Japanese drink a glass of warm to hot water in the am... i converted and it is amazing.. . i have done the same routine for the last year... though admittedly, the sleep is still coming into shape. Thank you for all of your efforts and inspiration!!! Ravyn...

[@AndrewVonGregor]

Thank you for this.

[@trinawize461]

Trying to work on No. 1 - I'm badly in need of more sleep. I agree with you on the cold burst at the end of your showers...I do that too sometimes and it definitely helps to wake me up.

[@zachmieszala852]

great plan. gonna revisit a real routine and incorporate some of this.

[@MichelleLElman]

Love this! Really enjoy seeing your morning rituals and going to try to inject some routine into mine while I have complete control over my schedule while I write my book!

[@MutingSociety]

Chase, these new videos have been awesome, really love the format and direction, plus it's glad to know that you're not gone from KZbin. Anyways, as far as suggestions. This is more rooted in my current situation, but I certainly feel a lot of creatives share this problem at the root. So me and my girlfriend took the plunge, uprooted from the UK, went with a months wages to Berlin and we're trying to build ourselves up from scratch. Logically speaking, it's a stupid decision, neither of us speak the language very well and finding part-time work to support ourselves thus far has been difficult. However, I don't regret the decision as it was an opportunity for me to throw myself in at the deep end and start taking risks again, unlike the comfortability of my life back home. So at the moment i've been relying on freelance music composing work from back home in the UK with my portable rig. This will see me through another month here in our AirBnb, but beyond that, I recognise that I need to start building connections here in regards to my freelance work. I'm working on the language every day, but I think i'm struggling to find an effective way to put myself out, showcase my work and get people interested. I feel like i've started again, with zero contacts and no work. I thought maybe a good topic to cover would be self-marketing in early days of freelance. When I was back home, it was something that came naturally, but with the language barrier over here and lack of knowhow, i'm certainly feeling like i've started again. Any insight into connecting with people and building meaningful professional relationships from scratch would be amazing. All the best, Matt

[@MoveOutMedia]

loved this. thanks for the advice, especially the part about the sleep. Gotta start gettin my 8 hours.

[@sameerkm9947]

Very inspiring, Chase, thank you!

[@RekoMoreno]

I've heard a lot of good stuff on having a morning routine, thanks for giving us in insight on what helps you start off your day. Taking note and starting the year off right with creating my own routines.

[@ChaseJarvis]

nice, would love to hear how it goes

[@GioSoto]

So helpful! Thanks so much Chase!

[@ashm7925]

Love this morning routine, going to try more sleep as I'm in that 6hr night cycle... As for the meditation .. Going to have to get creative as my kids love to run and play!

[@apachie2k]

love this kind of content

[@tescums]

This one is really great. Thank you, man.

[@LasstUnsSpielen]

Wow, thank you for this inspiring morning routine. I should definitely consider to have my own routine!

[@Chuck_Green_Jr]

Love this...thank you for the ideas

[@ChaseJarvis]

Thanks for watching! Hope it helps supercharge your morning like it does mine 🙂

[@drew-gray]

Thank you for sharing! Super helpful advice!

[@Ktranphoto]

Hey Chase! How are ya today? In a future episode is it possible you could talk about the time when you realized you could not "fly solo" anymore and hired a steady production team/crew? How did you tackle that task and what was the process like in terms of: hiring them, trusting them, teaching them, etc... all while keeping your "Chase Jarvis" consistent style/feel to your images? Love these episodes by the way, they get me through the week! Cheers.

[@TheVegetarianBaker]

I loved this episode :) Great tips :)

[@JacksJamz]

I'm gonna try this. great video!

[@BenLandersMedia]

Just listened to your interview with James Altucher and found this googling around for your habits list. Thanks for all your awesome work man - 30 Days of Genius was amazing and Creative Live is such a great contribution towards making the world a more awesome place. Keep it up man!

[@TheA2ztube]

Love this and I am trying to get these into my schedule but I need to hear how parents with young children try to make this happen.

[@rezones]

sounds solid....i believe i'm gonna implement as many of these things as i can starting with the 8hrs of sleep. NUFF RESPECT!

[@Writelighting]

I do a bunch of these including the icy cold shower burst thing. Everyone thinks I'm crazy, but I'm glad someone else agrees how useful they are!

[@ChaseJarvis]

+Write Lighting it's the best thing ever. srsly

[@PaytonRuddock]

Awesome video Chase! Tried doing this more this week and definitely helped. Struggling not falling back asleep during meditation though, had to add a cup of coffee in there during meditation!

[@dmitriykim1095]

Thank you Chase, You are my inspiration today! Could you share how do you keep yourself productive and energized through out the day? I'm having daytime energy crushes and I'm trying to fix it. Thank you!

[@MeExpressing]

great great great thanks for sharing!!!

[@andrewchiles]

Loved this one Chase!

[@JayGarces]

Hey Chase - this was awesome! Simple steps that everyone can do. Definitely going to implement this into my day.

[@MartineDF314]

Hi Chase, Just wanted to say thank you for posting this at the right time last year. Since then, i have my morning routine as well. Plus since January, I do have them on my Habit list, but the App on Android it's the Fabulous App. So good to have a structured day as i am working for myself now. Just saw you today on the School of Greatness with Lewis Howes, so thought to express how grateful i am! Thanks heaps!!

[@BrandonTigrett]

Awesome content! I do a lot of those in my morning routine as well minus the meditation. Might have to try implementing it! Keep these coming Chase!

[@jearnal]

I really liked that KZbin recommended me this video, great advicen

[@bonez2002]

wonderful video Chase, very informative but just enough to inspire

[@MilaJenny]

Yes! I am all about your morning routine

[@ChaseJarvis]

+Mila & Jenny full of goodness ... thx!!!

[@Adilboukind]

I would like to continue on this idea in a futur video. What I mean by that is that you explain us how you handle a normal day (i guess you are travelling a lot) but I think it would be interesting. Thank you mister Jarvis !

[@amosk24]

Great episode, Chase ol' buddy ol' pal!

[@leadershipisaphilosophy]

Mr Jarvis - Thanks for sharing parts of your life. I am going to try and figure out how to work in some meditation though, seems like there isn't enough time to just "be" and "think". I will work on commenting on your other videos, but I thoroughly enjoy your philosophy towards life.

[@jooji1979]

Thank you this was nice

[@kartikeyashukla7857]

[@ChaseJarvis]

Noted! thx for the request. 🙌🏼

[@NisseNr1]

Really like this stuff great episode

[@fstopstories8229]

Great advice! I actually decided to spend some time preparing a good meal for lunch after watching this. Haha. I'd love to see more behind-the-scenes stuff, similar to what you did several years ago with different shoots, or what goes on at Creative Live.

[@bonam]

please do an EDC - every day carry - episode

[@masonmoir3299]

Hey Chase i just wan to say that I'm loving the new series, and I wanted to ask you if you could maybe add some tips for someone studying photography in college and what they should be doing for when they get done with school and are in the real world.

[@GGGGoGetterGirl]

Hey Chase, Thanks for sharing!!! Good tips on the importance of focusing first on ourselves (inner needs) before venturing out to the outside world!!! Cheers, GGG

[@ishra3676]

Please do a video on how to beat Procrastination.....thanks

[@KwyatMan]

Ira MK Look up a Video with Steve Harvey & Eric Thomas. That will kill your procrastination 👍

[@alicyr9631]

So inspirational, these RAW videos remind me of Matthew Kelly's KZbin 60 Second Wisdoms--would love to see you interview him!

[@TheLucaseuropa]

I found it value, thx dude

[@trivet1970]

These are very helpful Chase, thanks for taking the time to share everything you do, both professionally and in your personal world. (can you update the work flow sometime, i really like that one and i'm sure you have changed things since 2010) cheers!

[@solitarydan7272]

Excellent tips, Chase! I also practice Transcendental Meditation and it had definately changed my life. I would also reccommend reading 10-15 pages of something inspirational or useful for your life. Thanks for sharing!

[@YanTougas]

Thank you for a great episode! In the "move" section, do you make any room for yoga and strength training? If so, what does that look like for you?

[@sanane1234bea]

This is your first video that I've watched - first time I've come across you even though I watch a lot of motivational videos on youtube - and I already like your approach the best. You provide a list of exactly what to do; and more importantly, exactly what you do. And you seem to have a genuine likability about you. Just when I said maybe you won't be trying to sell any thing, but you did mention the Creative Live website, for which I'll have to wait and see how much you will be trying to sell stuff in your other videos. Selling stuff is such a turn off. There are people who like that and there are who don't. I've stuck with a morning routine for a very long time but I must be getting tired of it as I've found it difficult to stick to it lately. Starting with tomorrow morning, I'm going to be following your morning routine verbatim. Thank you!

[@davidbutlerstudios]

Great stuff as usual, this video couldn't have come into my life at a more meaningful time! Thanks for all you do man, it super inspiring! -David
