post-it note organization hacks 📒📘📕 (how I get everything done!)

📌 Timestamps in pinned comment! 📌 nyc self-employed youtuber & skateboarding vlog :) in this video I go street skating + give you organization, & self-motivation tips/hacks that, as a newly self-employed youtuber/business owner/adult in nyc, have seriously helped me get things done and reduce my stress. since this goofy system has been working SO WELL for me, I wanted to share it with you! (this system is vaguely based on the popular 'getting things done' model) By making this process fun and ~ a e s t h e t i c ~ using physical, colorful post-it notes with tasks written in bold letters, and organizing thoughts/tasks into specific places that makes you feel on top of things, I have reduced my stress/anxiety/decision making, ensured I don't forget to do important things, and most importantly, it's so much fun! I think this is boosted my motivation immensely, no joke. Being able to visualize your work and see how much you have done (especially as an online creator) is insanely motivating!! I hope this helps at least one person out ❤️ skating in this video includes street skateboarding in Brooklyn + a clip at Cooper Skatepark.

Thanks homie😁

[@mykasiurka]

Great video content! Apologies for butting in, I am interested in your opinion. Have you considered - Lammywalness Bright Love Guide (google it)? It is an awesome one off guide for learning how to rekindle your relationship without the headache. Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my old buddy Taylor got cool results with it.

You best be recycling them post it notes after you’re done w em Greorge♻️❤️

This video is amazing. Genuinely amazing. I have been wanting a system that's visual and open and not just in a closed book I won't open. This. Is. Genius. Thank you!!!

For anyone who didn't notice, the spot George and Jäger got kicked out from, was in Mark Suciu's 'Verso' part :P

The fakie flip was 🔥

[@posiericskate]

Okay, I was hyped up by the task thing. I'm officially old AF ! 😭 I couldn't care less when I was young but it's actually very helpful. I love the trash can idea. Right now, I'm still using Trello but I'll keep whay you're doing in mind !

[@maxtyree2844]

posieric skate trello is one of my favorite organization tools

[@chrisb7951]

I love your Post-It Note organizing hack 😀😀😀😀😀😀 It works for me. Thanks. I am a retired artist but I needed a to do list for all my home DIY tasks. If I have to do something again, I just save the note and I have it instead of loading my Brain with hundreds of tasks. Lists just don't work for me.

[@kallepuh3316]

That beard looks really good on you! 👍🏻

[@georgepoulos]

thanks 😌

[@ryanfayers6059]

This video really motivates me to organise and hold myself more accountable! Thanks dude, love your videos!

[@joshhalverson25]

I love these types of videos where you just talk to us. They're super relatable! Great video man!

[@logandavies6981]

This video was amazing and very helpful! I’ve been a subscriber for years and it has been amazing to watch you progress as a skater and as a person!

[@otislegoking]

Thank you so much for sharing your organizational style with us! I actually think I'll take at least some parts of it and integrate it into my own life. Spectacular skate clips as always man! Keep the vibes bumping and the good times rolling.

[@OlivertheJoyboy]

Dope video!! Love how you always share what’s going on in your brain, like most KZbinrs just share their topic (for you skating), but it’s sick how you open up about things you’re figuring out. Love the post it’s, looks kinda hectic tbh but once the system is in place I can see how it would really help. Currently trying to find a system like that to help me. Should prolly give the post it’s a try!! Also you’re making street look more fun in every vid:) Have a great day George!!

[@spifuntastic621]

Tysm man, I was really searching hard for ways to be more organized and productive, this helps a lot!!!

[@cineopusEU]

Im so happy you made this video, very very helpful and I would have never clicked on a video like this if it wasn´t made by you. Keep doing things like these, I´m really inspired by your way of living and working hard! Thank you so much :)

George that fakie flip was rad. You are getting really good. Your video was really helpful. Im in my last year of a social work degree. I cant wait to graduate. Keep up the good work. I look forward to your next video.

So hyped on that fakie flip

[@griffinlarson8970]

That is actually amazing!! I procrastinate on everything and have a very hard time getting stuff done, but I think I'm going to try out using sticky notes

NO DISLIKES im happy 😁 wassup george !

[@carolinabarbedo5481]

When you were talking about the big post it notes I literally wondered if you had a category for each color, but when I realized you don’t I just thought that if you did you would have to memorize the categories or always check which color is for each and that could be more confusing to think than just putting them in different places. So ya just a “little”😂 thought here But of course the color-category can work for a lot of people I just think that for me it would be easier to put them in different places Love your work ❤️🇵🇹

On my Trello I have a "Done" section where I move all the tasks that I complete. I have a bunch of post-its too tho gotta buy a new bin

[@georgepoulos]

I tried that too!, but didn’t give me the same feeling as the post it’s. I was actually surprised to watch the Trello system stop working for me. But it’s different for everyone!

[@albertharild6439]

Ive Been watching you in i Like a year and a half, and loved it. But ive Never *yet* even been brave enough to start skateboarding, But some days ago when it came to my mind that i had a Wal-Mart skateboard i Got the idea to repaint and replace parts on the board. Havent done it yet, But would it make sense?

am i the only one that noticed he mispelled deadline 10:55

George you need a chalkboard wall or a dry erase wall they're like 2dollars at Walmart

YO I LOVE BESTDRESSED

[@georgepoulos]

Same tbh lol

[@caydenbeck1364]

I love the organizing idea and I’m going to try it but another part of me feels like walking into a room full of post it’s that day what I need to do would overwhelm me a bit .thoughts?

[@georgepoulos]

I completely agree. I think the ideal situation would be to have a separate office that’s just for work, where all this stuff would go. Sometimes I do wish my whole home was just a place for chilling out and didn’t remind me of work stuff. But at least it’s in a specific part of my house, and I try to only sit there when doing work

[@xaviergrimm5789]

George should go on Dr. Phil cuz he is a workaholic.

[@brrnay]

great ideas man! really enjoyed the video. this is a weird comment, but i would watch your skate content so much more if you didn't wear a helmet. you aren't jumping down el toro or skating a mega ramp, it's just so aesthetically unpleasing since that seems to appeal to you it seems counter intuitive. plus i just think it makes street skaters look like pansies. the reality of it is i'm not the only one that thinks that way, if you want to grow your youtube presence and brand you should really consider it. trying to be polite as possible w/ this constructive feedback. anyways, good vid, have a good day man.

[@eddierichmond1586]

This seems bad for the environment

[@georgepoulos]

Fair point

You are a high-brained person and need a personal assistant for all the minutiae you are wasting mental energy on.
