How I organize my life 💎

[@classclown55210]

It's so nice to see Damon uploading videos again after his hiatus

[@OlbaxGaming]

A breath of fresh air from silly distraction

[@PAWfessionalTennis]

It's so funny how I hadn't seen any of his videos during the last 2 or 3 years (cause sometimes you just watch so much other KZbin content that you kind of forget about other KZbinrs you used to watch)And then a few weeks ago I suddenly remember him (and Joe), I look for his channel and it turn out he JUST came back. :D

[@KB-bx9ui]

I have missed Damon too!

[@livtupi]

Bro I'll only add this to the conversation: scheduling emails is everything to meeee not only can i email ppl at 3am if i want to and not let them know, by scheduling it to 9am, it also helps with feeling anxious about sending emails because you can edit it before it sends and yeah... Peace of mind

[@nikkiu.2148]

Agreeed. Sometimes I be remembering to email ppl back at the oddest time. instead of telling myself I have to do it during "normal" hours and potentially forgetting by then, I can just do it in the moment and have one less thing floating in the back of my head

[@michellehoehne]

As a person who works a 9-5, that’s also a respectful way to honor their work hours. I have a position where people might feel anxious they have to respond immediately and scheduling send to their working hours means that I can help them not be dragged into work when they’re relaxing/eating/with family etc.

[@zar3125]

it's not a damon video without your constant subtle battle to find new ways to have a different video backdrop within same 4 walls :') god tier

[@angelsxedust]

Me in my studio apartment taking zoom calls, fr so relatable

[@tangifangledangle]

OK we need this Notion template for the week svp

[@anhu92]

I just found out about you after your "why i don't post" video and you're quickly becoming one of my favorite creators. You have an actual no BS approach to work. I feel like other creators don't talk about the unglamorous hard work that has to be done but you dive right into and you don't come with the patronizing spiel like "oh I feel like I shouldn't complain because I'm so privileged".

[@KB-bx9ui]

Email tip...maybe you didn't show us Damon, and you have more than one email account. I have emails for different uses...one for spam advertising when you sign up for discounts, one for personal use, one for streaming services / subscriptions and another for professional use. Feels like a great way for me to compartmentalise and not feel inundated with useless emails. Plus, it feels better security wise. Anyone else like this? Damon....so glad you are uploading again.

[@meriapan6354]

as someone who is struggling to keep up a routine, organize my time and feeling motivated because im too overwhelmed this video is just great and on perfect timing. thank you Damon

[@pUkkademps]

All of this and his advice feels so realistic

[@rubylacruz]

As a 32-year-old ready to make a career switch, I'm overwhelmed with reorganizing my life. This video was the push I needed!

[@inkyfrog]

quote of the day: "its so much easier to live a good life when you know the systems." thanks damon!

[@kayrawan]

Not me pulling out my laptop and organizing my life while watching this video lol.

[@bootsmade4walking]

same!! haha

[@morgandriver7074]

Me too! But I find notion so tricky to navigate! Does anyone know how to set up the template he’s using? X

[@bootsmade4walking]

@@morgandriver7074 It took me about a month or two to get the hang of Notion, but after that -- it's really easy to navigate! You probably can find a similar template if you google "daily notion templates"

[@onathaninacio]

eu nesse exato momento :)

[@dianagro99]

reporting back: the work day I had after watching this video is INSANE. I did the pomodoro thing for the first time and did all my of my tasks of the day in just 4 pomodoros 😭 thank you!

[@williamshalalala]

THE CONTENT WE 👏 NEEDED 👏

[@paintingpurple6214]

the beginning gave me whiplash I was ready for a cute lil ✨let’s get organized✨ but instead it was like 👺let’s get organized👺

[@katharinecbriggs]

didn't know I needed an inbox class but now i do

[@damondominique]

Can y’all drop the app, browser extension, website, or general technology + internet tip that everyone should probably know about?

[@lightwoodalec5037]

Hi damon i am so fucking early I cant even decide what to ask even though I know I will probably talk to u for hours if I ever met u in person 😂😂

[@takentoinfinity]

shift + cmd + 8 to start a bulleted list :)

Block youtube feed Chrome extension : Blocks the homepage feed, sidebar suggestions > you just see your subscriptions > less distractions

[@thescarediest]

Not an app or anything but I highly recommend the book Digital Minimalism by Cal Newport it really helped me realize the role technology should play in my life as something that should be useful but not distracting and I feel like could be helpful :)

[@camillavanwijk2725]

Not faster than just hitting the dash lol

[@BnvD15]

"phantom work" - this is such a REAL thing as a freelancer. holy crap.

[@newmoneycentral]

I love how he switched between French and English, really pulls me into the video.

[@faizahbalogun]

with the way you organize your tabs, i think you'd love arc. it's a GAME changer for me.

[@abigailtamayo1227]

please show us how you created your notion page!! loved the video, so insightful

[@christina_890]

Damon posting on my first day of therapy, it's ✨double therapyyyy✨

No Damon you're on to something with "You don't have to like your job to like your job". That's truly where I'm at with my 9 to 5, I'm not passionate about the work but I like to work😊

[@nomifreimixes]

cleanmymac is the most satisfying part of my life

[@cool-flamingo]

Magnet for Mac is chef’s kiss. You can change window sizes and placements with a single shortcut. Life changing

[@ellelee8760]

FOR WINDOWS BBS: - We already have the drag for split screens - With touchscreens you can use different directional swipes to switch btwn apps and windows. You can also edit these functions (2 finger swipe v 3 finger, up v down, etc) - Edge also has tab groups and you can sort by color. My fav is Collections, where you can save pages to different lists (I use to sort things I want to come back to, travel for diff areas, even different wish lists & it’ll track prices for you) FOR ALL: - highly rec the Todoist app if you’re not Type A enough for setting up notion but you want separate to-do lists that can be sorted into projects/sections and given labels/dates/etc. Will also sync to desktop app

[@yvonneandbeyond]

Jumping back here a couple of weeks later to let you know what I've implemented! 1) Flow - omg BEST pomodoro timer, ty. 2) Mood tracker 3) Universal Copy 🤯😭 (I have saved so much time with this one., wow..). Anyway, I super appreciate you sharing these tips, they've definitely improved my workflow and mood.:)

[@tbaer415]

Need “The only one who can make this happen is you” on a t-shirt. Also, I need to iterate how much your content inspires so many people, myself included. I’m in university right now, and I must have watched the 13 going on 30 video 5 or 6 times this term. One of the best KZbinrs out there. Thanks Damon (I feel like I’m on a first name basis now lol)

[@arianabutler]

I remember when you first posted this overlooking this cause I was like I don’t need it but here I am literally drowninggggg

[@trystan_french]

gotta upgade your browser next! Arc is my favorite because you can define spaces, so I have a space for working that is a different color than my space for learning.

[@eosalexis]

that notion system for organizing tasks was so good I stole the concept and adapted it to my personal self-working calendar. sincerely love this video so much!!!!

[@Kbi84]

This is timely because i have been trying to start my business but focus has been an issue because i get overwhelmed. So tips like this is helpful.

[@bootsmade4walking]

SO HELPFUL i am at the verge of tears -- I have an ungodly amount of tabs. Ugh!! Wow - makes me wonder what other subtle modifications I can make in my life that will have super duper big impacts!!?

[@ktTVinc]

i think something to call out is your ability to be like your own personal systems engineer!!! The act of documenting, recording, being a historian, the organization, the battle with upfront cost of doing something. FIRE

[@joeldavid4014]

love this!! two recommendations: 1) you can just remove apps from your home screen rather than moving them into a folder- press down on an app and click Remove App > Remove from Home Screen 2) the chatgpt mobile app has a great conversational feature built-in so you can easily chat back and forth out loud, unlike on desktop where you have to do that little text-to-speech workaround

[@shrutigola724]

I LOVE THESE KINDA VIDEOS

[@torincass]

The solutions day with friends made me shed a tear- what a wholesome way to deal with tough situations. Love that idea 🤍

[@krystalituarte7092]

These videos are just IT for me. I have never been so motivated to get my crap done within a day.

[@tki6087]

You've literally become one of my favorite creators. I've been going through your past content as well and your "why I don't post anymore" video inspired me to create original, useful content like you do. Would you consider doing a video on "how I create my content?" I am going to start my watercolor KZbin channel soon and want to show up with fun and authenticity and VALUE like you do. ❤

[@squigglz97]

Ooh I love watercolor! Please share your channel name and I'll sub!

[@chloe7288]

You probably know this if you took a course on gmail, but changing your settings to have an unsend feature on your email and making it the longest amount of time (I think it's like 30 seconds or something) is absolutely amazing.

[@PS-bs8oe]

So the email is only sent after 30 ', allowing you to cancel the sending off if u realize you finally don't want to send it ( yet) ???

[@chloe7288]

@@PS-bs8oe exactly ;)

[@sierrahughes7460]

I’m so old-school and I just keep a paper calendar/planner in my purse and work off of that. I also have a separate habit-tracker that I fill out daily to make sure my life isn’t just passing me by lol. But I think I want to start introducing some of these new tech additions to my life! Thanks for sharing ❤

[@Ms.Teacher]

I do the same! "Even if you do not like your job , you must love your job"

[@brunavalverde2804]

You may have changed my life with this one tab extension wooow Would love to see more content about organization, productivity and all of that from you :)

[@JuliaDahl-x9w]

You have no idea how this fit right in to what I need in my life right now. STRUCTURE!!!! Thank you Damon!!!!

[@pUkkademps]

You’re so right about not going blindly about my day after work .

[@JaninePatrice]

I use pomodoro timers for everythinggg, especially cleaning! It helps me out a ton.

[@user-zz9fu4ey7i]

this video actually changed my life so thank you

[@_vuch]

You made it damon, you're finally perfect Full love from France

[@real_ouss]

This channel is a nice discovery, started out of curiosity in the Arabic video (because I'm just impressed whenever people make a conscious choice to learn the language) and ended up learning a couple of things in this video. Love how you use Notion and Calendar :)

[@impossidan1851]

So much value in one video i cannot

[@mubiedits]

been loving these latest vids you’ve been putting out Damon!

[@_busra_dmn]

Love this ! For resizing your windows, Rectangle is an extension that work sooo good. It snaps your tabs right, left, top, bottom, 2/3, 1/3 it's amazing

[@Sketch_gg]

Didnt neven know how much I needed this. I'd love more vids like this.

I am extremely grateful for you explaining your process . I feel like I can take on life with your scheduling and routine organization 🙏🏼✨

[@annabyrdie]

didn't know i needed this

[@sockpant]

Ur notion video changed the game for me years ago and this one is too! I already do a lot of these techniques but it’s great to see them outlined and built upon

[@Alex.Harward]

For me time blocking is KEY! No phone, a good playlist, just get focused and then having frequent breaks. I feel so productive that way.

[@Some1who232]

Thank you for the content! I appreciate that you brought up a State of Mind in the Health app (I'm ready to see my mental growth within the year, find an outlet that doesn't feel like an invasion of my privacy in some way, and not dump my grievances on my family and friends). Also, applications I use on my laptop are Rectangle, which helps with window management, which's a time-blocking calendar and to-do list; and Today (a blue background with a white checkmark in the middle) is a 24-hour to-do list and once the time you set for it is over, everything on the to-do list is gone - so it pushes you to prioritize what needs to get done for the day and in a timely fashion if it matters.

[@ipsilonia]

thank you for sharing! my flow is similar: from the to-do lists (i swear by google tasks) to the bare bones phone screen to the pomodoro method to tracking my mood/health. these are the habits and systems that are saving me in this increasingly chaotic world.

[@Jade-cs6mm]

I just discovered your channel and this is one of the most transformative videos i've watched. I wish I could like this twice. Thank you.

Baby, I love your videos! You make me feel like I’m just chilling with a friend at home or at work even sometimes. ❤

[@ViktoriaBalog]

also a good mindset change: I get to do this! some people have harder jobs, or jobs that pay less, but I GET TO DO THIS! :))

[@walleaeaglehawk]

I'm such a basic b. Google Calendar, Notion for my staff and I... honestly that's it. Learning about tab groups just blew my mind. I never like having lots of tabs up but sometimes need to keep track of a few when researching. Such an informative video!

[@dddafi5273]

Damon, this information is so useful and free - I want to slide you a tenner or something for this old man on the street knowledge. Maybe I'll just buy your french course. I have a list of so many things I want to accomplish - small things like read a book, try a new dish, apply for scholarships and big things like learn the piano, finish this academic competition, become an active member of my local urbanism society. This comes at the perfect time, where I've written all this down but don't know how to organize it. I am always so scared when using Google calendar but seeing how you do it helps infinitely.

[@nikaramik3087]

Thank you so much ! I have never been jealous of anyones inbox til this day. Could you show us more about your planning / scripting regarding filming content like this ? Love from Germany 💗

[@stripedsweater520]

I totally understand 😂. Like I don’t like my job, but I do enjoy that I don’t have to deal w/ a lot of people and that I can work from home. So I like my job because almost 90% of the time I’m gonna have what I consider a good day

[@Abigail.leeanna]

I feel so taken care of after watching this. Thank you, Damon...seriously.

[@iammerve]

Thank you for all the insights! I really would appreciate a part deux! Two things: 1. You don’t have to like the job, but you can like to get the job done - is maybe another way of saying it which might help others, too. 2. For people who live close to an Apple Store: they have free sessions on basics for Mac and iPhone users. They also offer a lot of info regarding the shortcuts on their website.
