How to Actually Be Productive

[@smacklemore]

I initially found you looking for Things 3 tips but you have consistently given me tips about much more than that. However, this may have been your best yet. Keep up the great work!

For reference, the list: - Career / work / business / studies - Character development - Fun & adventure - Habits & daily routine - Home & family - Intimate relationships - Learning & skill-building - Mental health & emotions - Money / finances - Overall lifestyle - Physical health - Purpose / meaning - Social life Thanks, Peter!

Fantastic video! I particularly love your definition of productivity, which I'm keen on adopting. Over the years, I've been through several goal-setting programs, and your video reminded me of something I learned which was asking the question 'Am I truly willing to pay the price to achieve this goal?' For instance, there was a time I aimed to get ripped. But when I considered the dedication it demanded - spending hours daily at the gym, drastically altering my diet, consuming things like protein shakes which I wasn't keen on, and giving up my beloved daily latte and chocholate - I recognized that I wasn't willing to pay that price. Hence, I realigned my objective to focus on being healthier, leaner, and more fit. While I obviously had to do things differently, over the past year I've lost 16kgs but was able to do it in a way that I enjoyed. Your video also reminded me of a Tony Robbins video or lesson where he asked a question along the lines of "Why do you want that goal? What will achieving that goal give you?" Your example about wanting a seven figure business is exactly that. You didn't really want the seven figure business, you wanted what it would give you which was the apartment in Amsterdam. And once you realised what you really wanted you can then figure out other ways to achieve that goal. You've got me thinking and going to go through my own goals as it's been awhile. Thanks again for the great video

Big picture productivity changed my life. Will always be grateful. Just for the amount of stress relief it has gifted me. Thank you!

It makes me so happy to hear that, Polly. And thank you for sharing.

You have a comforting voice and you make it all seem so possible. Thanks!

This is a really deep video. Watched it the second time, I need to sit down and figure out what I truly want in the 2nd half of my life. Since turning 40, I don’t have the same focus and drive that I did in my 20s and 30s.

Thank you for this video. This is great advice that I will refer to over and over again.

[@none3209]

I am watching this with a fresh Obsidian document open, pausing the video to answer every question the video poses. I suggest you do the same!

[@elstab2036]

in the end you said it is a little different video than what you normally post. Personally I first thought it is a little bit over-edited in sense of emoji, text and image usage. but in honesty I am currently in a mode of trying to unblock lot of stuff I feel I am not keeping up to as needed, but see lack of motivation as I feel a lot of things are only "I should do..." (and deadline, social pressure, etc. are pushing on those things). So I see your video as supporting my current thought that taking some time off to take a step back and clarify what I want is time spent in a productive and mind calming way.

[@PeterAkkies]

Thanks for your feedback and good luck clarifying what’s important to you.
