AJ&Smart what if ISIS using this method

[@niteshdixit9534]

Yesterday, I found your channel. This is beautiful. The way you guys engage in the office, the presentation, the content, and especially your office. The content is very helpful for me. Thank you for that. And if you guys could have an office tour or the place you guys are in, can show that it would be a lovely video. That's all. Have fun.

[@lynnrivest]

Love this approach and it was fun to watch! Thanks.

[@tubemusix789]

Thanks for sharing!! Since some of you are close to Irish+British culture, here a quote that fits: „Know the true value of time; snatch, seize, and enjoy every moment of it. No idleness, no laziness, no procrastination: never put off till tomorrow what you can do to-day“. Earl of Chesterfield, to his son, 1749

[@AJSmart]

Hey Konrad, nice reference! Hope this workshop comes in handy and saves you time in the future!

[@katieedwards5778]

Yes! Loved this. The amount of times I have procrastinated because I haven't got 'enough' coloured pens is unreal. Also, this is my new favourite way of folding paper. Thanks for the tips as always Jonathan!

[@AJSmart]

Great to hear thanks Katie! Haha the paper folding was highly elaborate!

[@dianalazaryeva8232]

As always super fun and entertaining to watch, but also very informative and helpful! Loved it. And hey, Jonathan, if you ever need an assistant to upload videos for you or schedule meetings. Or even, do research on a specific topic, I'd be extremely thrilled to help you!

[@AJSmart]

Thanks Diana : D

[@fahadibnsayeed]

First time i watched a video on AJ&Smart channel without design lessons, love it BTW, it's incredible. Thanks man

[@AJSmart]

Thanks a lot Farhad :)

[@JesseDrawz]

I recently started listening to the Product Breakfast Club podcast (that I obviously enjoy very much) and you and Jake just came up with this name. Cool to see you made a video about it and explain it to us! 😊

[@AJSmart]

:D Thanks Jesse.

[@gregoirenedelcovici6194]

Hey man, awesome content, thank you for putting this online. Is this a n"individual/short" version of the LDJ ? 🤔😏 The 4 page process makes it clearer than the 8 steps 😉

[@lisac6867]

Just found out this channel recently, you guys are hiiiiiiiiiiiilarious, plzzzzz keep them coming

[@AJSmart]

Ah thanks Lisa!!!!!!!!!!!!!! New vid EVERY TUESDAY!

[@lucascorrea3166]

Very nice exercise! I will definitely try it out

[@AJSmart]

Thanks Lucas! Hope it comes in handy for you!

[@MinimaLune]

This technique calls for a notion board imo. Thanks.

[@adambhakrani2306]

Brilliant

[@AJSmart]

Thanks a lot Adam! 🥳

[@DallasDesignSprints]

I may have missed it, but did Jonathan give himself a timeframe for completing the experiment?

[@AJSmart]

Hey you can set the experiment length as long or as short as you'd like. Depending on the scale a few days to a couple of weeks usually works well. It's all pretty individual with this one so there's no right or wrong length.

[@DCTapeworm]

AJ&Smart - Great! Thanks for clarifying that. :)

[@carlpuzonvalencia]

Life hack geeking at its best. Thanks!

[@AJSmart]

@@DCTapeworm No problem!

[@AJSmart]

@@carlpuzonvalencia Thanks! Hope it works!

[@rakhik6451]

Great content team! Keep em' coming! I love the personal approach you took on this easy peasy spin to problem solving.

[@AJSmart]

Cheers Rakhi!

[@Calumrussell88]

Shortcut-O-RAMA! 🥳 🤯

[@AJSmart]

All the KZbin hacks!

[@Cynchronia]

I am a product designer desperately looking to transition to strategy. I need more than Shortcut-O-matic 😊. How can the good folk at AJ Smart assist?

[@AJSmart]

Hey, we actually have a few videos on Product Strategy if you search "AJ&Smart Product Strategy" in KZbin

[@Cynchronia]

AJ&Smart thank you for the prompt response. I'm on it!

[@AJSmart]

@@Cynchronia Hope the vids help!

[@pushkar-tiwari-99]

Can i get internship on your agency???

[@AJSmart]

Check our Instagram Highlights for how to do that Shivam!

[@appleorchardfilms]

There are a few continuity errors in this video. For instance, a few times there is more than two hands visible in the POV shots, yet Jonathan clearly only has two hands.

[@AJSmart]

Yeh we know! We had to film the writing section separately so we thought we'd have fun with it! Hope it's not too distracting.

[@appleorchardfilms]

AJ&Smart 😜

[@AJSmart]

@@appleorchardfilms haha!

5:45 - Damn, bird from previous videos become more irritating. First singing, now construction works. What next, bird?

[@AJSmart]

Hey Igor! haha yeh it sure is! Never a dull moment in the office!

[@kmondragon08]

This exercise showed me that AJ & Smart, is not so "smart" on creating a culture of balance between work and life. 😏

[@AJSmart]

Hey Karina, sorry to hear that! I think in this instance it was more about giving examples to use in the experiment, so we had to come up with some! It's a very individual experiment / workshop so each person should be able to find something they're stressed or irritated by and try to remedy it with this workshop.

[@jonathancourtney1175]

I think Calum didn’t get the joke Karina. But I did 👍👍👍👍

[@AJSmart]

@@jonathancourtney1175 :(

[@dieBiny]

Doesn't help at all. Did the whole exercise and found out, I cannot shortcut my problem. Now I am more frustrated than before :(

[@shannahighsmith1179]

I have decided that adhd should be restricted to 1pen 1 paper. Lol. Not my life
