#QOTD What is One Healthy Habit You're Going To Change After This? Also have you listened to the Podcast Yet? Listen over on iTunes/Apple and Please Rate and Review! robertoblake.com/itunes

[@CrownedxKay]

Getting adequate sleep, I've become an insomniac from working the 3rd shift ...I find myself waking up later in the day like 10 / 11am and staying up until til sometimes 6 in the morning...I'd much rather get up by 5 am and start my day... Thanks for these tips and reminders that overall physical health contributes to mental & emotional health!!!

[@yvaexpressions]

I did not know you had a podcast omg!! I was just thinking about the fact that your voice sounds very pleasant

[@mariedesignz1659]

Getting enough sleep. I’m on 3rd shift and lucky if I get 3 solid hours of sleep. Between being a mother and establishing a business sleep is very important yet fleeting. There are plenty of advice on waking up at 5am or putting in time after work. However people forget about night shift. I get off at 6am and have a small window for sleep and for appointments.

[@TheFreedomProvider]

I have been debating this for awhile and I think it might be time to lay off the coffee. I made it through college without it and I could do without the sugary add-ins. And Sleep. I need 6.5 to 7 hours a night. Any less than 6 and my body starts to fall apart.

[@SkipsTacticalSolutions]

Getting the adequate amount of sleep my body needs will start tomorrow! Roberto thanks for sharing all of these tips! I definitely needed the reminder that I can't pour from a empty cup!

[@DonVFilmoraTutorials]

Just what I needed, lately I've been struggling a LOT! Time for change...

[@DylanGarton]

Great video Roberto. One of the best things I ever did was get a dog. Every day he lets me know when it's time to go out and that 30 to 40 minutes is a real investment and improves my mental health. Keep it up man!

[@WeReadTheClassics]

Thanks for mentioning food allergies. Gluten was the cause of my extreme exhaustion.

[@AshleySkyflier]

Yes! Make a morning routine video!😃🎥 And I agree, sleep is most important! Getting exercise helps you get a better night's sleep too. The two go hand in hand.🚴😴

[@AliMirza]

8 - 9 hours of sleep is super imp.

[@beautyandthesavage]

I truly appreciate this coming from a prolific creator. How can you come up with the greatest new idea if your creativity is dissolving together with your health? Take care of yourself people. The increase in performance will be a cool side effect.

[@BaerbelBorn]

I changed my lifestyle a couple of months ago and lost massive weight, then sold my car and keep walking ever since. I enjoy the local scenery and plants by passing them slowly and still get to town for groceries. I feel so great and love life. My weakness is still hydration, lol. I will work on that.

[@HawkeScream]

I've noticed, especially in the last year or so, how much food affects my energy levels. I used to be able to eat whatever and be fine, not anymore. I have Ehler's Danlos and fatigue is a constant struggle. I've had to cut out sugar when I need to be productive. I will literally fall asleep in my chair at my desk otherwise. My best days are high protein days. I'm in the middle of working on a meal plan for myself. Hard for picky eaters lol. I'm doing better with sleep now that school is out for my kids, that was a huge energy drain that I need to handle better next year. Committing to drinking more water because that's something I can do as soon as I'm done writing this comment!

[@myjoygaming]

I quit smoking six months ago. I was a smoker for twenty years. This habit was affecting everything: my health, my mood and definitely the productivity at work and my side projects. After this really important change, my daily life is much better than before. Three to four cups of coffee per day was a thing for me aswell. I was acting and looking like a zombie sometimes!

[@creatingdigitalassets]

I have lots of healthy habits but need more SLEEP! And I always try to eliminate stressful people

[@MillsUE]

Always Inspiring me. As a young entrepreneur and KZbinr, I face challenges and feel overwhelmed most time. But you inspire mea lot bro🙌 Love from a Nigerian KZbinr

[@MillsUE]

Hello .. 🙌 nice channel you've got there 🙌 just checked it out

[@MichaelFeyrerJr]

I think the coffee thing is something a lot of people suffer from. I think my body is immune to caffeine. It just doesn’t do anything for me. Energy drinks or soda.... nothing. Who knows. I guess everyone’s body is different. I don’t drink nearly enough water. That is for sure. Some great tips here Roberto. My new habit. I think working out in the mornings Will make all the difference.

[@pom_sullivan]

I have thought and implemented most of these points a while ago and I can safely say it helped a lot with my job. I'd like to add something regarding the eyes and blinking point of Roberto if I may. Addressing the people that use contact lenses mostly instead of glasses. Try to decrease the amount of time you're wearing them. Being a person that used to wear lenses all day long (literally, no glasses) I can honestly say it had a huge impact on my head. Fatigue, dry eyes, trouble falling asleep after removing them, the whole deal. Especially if you're working on a pc etc choose proper glasses instead of lenses. It's worth it. Also splash water on your face frequently during the day. Control your breathing, trust me deep inhale-exhale. As dumb as all of this may sound have a go at it. Might help. Keep grinding boys and girls. Thank you Roberto.

[@MilanKarakas]

That are the best advices for KZbinrs possible. Too much sitting, not eating healthy, not moving enough on fresh air and more. You got it exactly right. Thanks.

[@PattymacMakes]

Thanks for bringing up the coffee issue, Roberto. All the caffeine people are consuming is so bad for the health. I’m down to 6 ounces in the morning only. And I feel so much better. I was up to close to 25 ounces every morning. Yes you are so right about drinking more water!! Thanks for sharing healthy lifestyle tips. I’m watching this while doing cardio. I discovered I can stream KZbin and Netflix while I get in cardio sessions so I enjoy it more. If I walk outdoors, I leave the phone at home for a total break. I love gardening as a hobby, because it’s so far from being on the computer. And the time caring for plants is so regenerative.

[@AnnieMaeEdwards]

Your advice to use your free time to catch up on rest, versus “unwinding,” is advice that I definitely needed to be reminded of. I also have the insomnia and anxieties issues, and consume a lot of caffeine and sugar. That was a great reminder also. They seem like such “common sense” ideas, but we can so easily stray from them, and not realize what an impact they have on us. Great video! ❤️

[@JackieM00se]

I was allergic to Wheat, Soy, and Dairy but didn’t find out until I was 16 and it was the most transformative experience in my life

[@WaskiSquirrel]

Getting up early really changed things for me. I'm a lot more productive then. This morning was spent finishing off the garden (it's North Dakota, so I'm not late). A good combination of outdoors and physical activity, and it's only about 10:00 now. I struggle to get outdoors in the winter, but it does help that I walk to work, even if it's only a few blocks. In the depths of winter, that's probably enough! Good point on the coffee. Last summer I cut myself down to one cup in the morning. I missed it at first, but mostly the habit. And you are totally right about how that changed my hydration. Water or even hot water helped replace the habit. And for the future, I want to add a consistent exercise program.

[@SkipsTacticalSolutions]

I love the fact that you put out a video that you felt was needed but may not be popular. You have no idea how many people you helped/inspired with this video!!!

[@ak-loz]

Great share, I'll be working on fixing these using your words of advice: - Going to sleep when bored or feel overwhelmed from work instead of finding stuff to consume and occupy my time. - I usually feel overwhelmed when I thinking about all the stuff I want to do and realize I can't get it all done within the year. Which kind of causes me to be enveloped in my work while being at home as well.

[@x86ed]

Burnout and depression are a huge factor in the food industry as well. Hard thankless work can take a toll on people. With KZbin most don’t realize how much effort actually goes into content

[@RobertoBlake]

Indeed

[@bxkid7]

Wonderful tips Roberto. One habit I will definitely change is going out getting some sun and walking. As a creator I find myself home a lot constantly working and the lack of exercise is killer in the long term. I find it can be a real struggle to get out there even for just a walk but one thing we got to do is form the habit. For me my body is like clockwork once I start getting used to it then its all gravy from there. Never stop making content even if its not going to be higher on youtube or whatever content we create even if one person see it we have the ability to impact. Keep on creating. much love all.

[@kingcadmus2768]

Great video Mr. Blake. Love the content. I love the holistic approach you take to working life, that so many people disregard health for a desk job. I'm in a small town and there's this thought process that you can just be a slug and it's easy to work a 9-5 on a computer. There's this misconception with John Q. Public that when you use your brain to work, that you somehow have it made and its a cake walk. But like you point out, a person's peak performance mentally is directly dependent on their physical state. Can't get performance out of one without the other. Such great advice!

[@Fire-Queen]

Yes! Take it from a chronic insomniac, sleep is so precious, take it when you can! ♥️✅😴 Without it, everything goes south.

[@jerseyvanorden-miner4132]

My watch alerts me to stand. I hate it but I know it works. Great points. I wake 4:30 and 5:00 AM. I sleep no more than 6 hours. My eyes open, I go full force. I never wake up tired. Mind you I’m over 55 but food, drink, sugar all do make a difference. My one habit is I need to walk 30 minutes every day. I feel it takes too much work but after I do, I feel so much better! 🤦🏽‍♀️.

[@harebear9934]

I find being more physically active and giving both my body and eyes a break often is beneficial in being and staying productive.

[@65Drums]

One of your best videos. And man that new mic makes a huge difference!

[@jordanmendiola7025]

Thank you Roberto. I was feeling super burnt out without a plan, but now I do!

[@MelissaNeill]

This is so interesting because all these strategies are what I recommend as a fitness and health influencer but I had never thought about it in terms of productivity.

[@captgray2000]

Like the idea of energy management and standing desk.

[@TimRoseOfficial]

Roberto, you always inspire me with your videos. FOR SURE, my answer to your QOTD is the sleep thing. I am working full time, working on my channel, raising a 2 year old, and have basically no time left at the end of the day. I know you are absolutely spot on about getting enough sleep. Thanks for the reminder my friend, I'll take your advice to heart.

[@beatsbyice5827]

This is really a coincidence for me because I have really been pondering on the topics you picked to discuss like ridding myself of negative habits such as eating more efficiently, incorporating more fruits & vegetables in my diet, and becoming more active. Things I've been trying to double up in productivity and/or consumption. Thanks for such a great video

[@MyJewishMommyLife]

What helped me a lot was watching some health docs on Netflix like “That Sugar Film” really inspiring!

[@aillwen9802]

I'm so happy that such life changing content is available for anyone. Thank you so much for your hard work !!

[@Kamirarenee]

Great video. I think a lot of people need this. I know for me I'm actively working on getting more sleep and going to bed early during the week. As started to include cardio, strength and stretching routine.

[@jeffeisley]

I love that you're making videos like this to help people, don't stop

[@PegasusysTarotClub]

I bought a crock pot to help with eating healthier instead of eating out, and it saves time as well! The best idea in a long time!!

[@PacifictheCasualGamer]

This video made me think a lot about things I was once good about but have started to let slip. Legit needed this, thank you for the unintended perfect timing! My habit is going to be dropping coffee. I did it once before and it was totally worth it. Going to do it again!

[@BillyRybka]

Huge bro, needed this!!

[@FayeRapsYupITSME]

Yeah. Tips are really helpful 🤗

[@1MightyR]

@@FayeRapsYupITSME I agree😊

[@NikitaBelosludov]

That's a great video, very useful information, Roberto! Sleeping is probably what I need the most out of all of this because I tend to be in front of the computer editing videos and photos until 1-2am without even noticing but then feel pretty tired the next day...

[@SaffronSageAstrology]

Lowering my caffeine intake. This is my favorite vid so far!

[@amberpacholok]

Waking up and going to bed early was a HUGE game changer for me. I’m a night owl and definitely feel more creative at night however, when I wake up early I’m more productive.

[@remote_with_russ]

I luv me some coffee ☕️ but I limit it to before noon. I also had a panic disorder late 2018 but thankfully the Lord brought me through it. I now have to pace myself better and let go of control.

[@alishasuz]

Love this video! I keep seeing videos pop up on KZbin about only sleeping 4 hours a day blah, blah, blah… which to me is abusive and bad for one. I know personally I would have a breakdown if I was that low on sleep. Happy to hear someone I admire (you) places high importance on enough sleep! Thank you for the healthy message! 💜

[@RobertoBlake]

I’ve never seen those videos

[@AnalaighBlog]

I downloaded a water app the others day. Thanks for the tips. Love how you include aspects like this on your channel. Because loads of people will benefit.

[@letitiab7257]

Great video! So true! I recently felt like I was crashing daily. My husband and I changed exactly what you covered in your video - except the food allergy one. I feel so much better! We added not eating after 6 pm and limiting processed foods and red meat. My husband's tryglicerides went from 250 to 115. His hdls went from 19(way too low) to 49(almost normal). His ldls are now also in healthy ranges! Your ideas WORK and need to be shared!

[@PassiveIncomeTom]

Different but an important message Roberto! 👍

[@RobertoBlake]

Please share it 🙏

[@rhistarsinger1033]

I had to leave the 20 yr day job from burnout. It has taken me 6 months to recover...mostly I'm of an age where recovery is not so easy as It was back in the day, so i'm taking it easy. I'm putting a cooking/entertainment channel together and it feels like I'm going extremely slowly. but I am determined to do it at a healthy pace The primary reason I'm making it is for the fun of doing it so I think I'll be ok. Thanks for all the info that is making this easier.

[@HealerWarrior]

Coming from a medical background, both EMS and as a Licensed Acupuncturist, solid advice @RobertoBlake !

[@black.sasuke.uchiha]

One habit that I changed over a year ago is the infamous “Tech Neck”. When people are using devices such as iPhones and iPads, they have the device on their lap and they are looking directly down at it for extended periods of time. This is terrible for your spine and your neck. GUYS IF YOU ARE HUNCHING DOWN, PLEASE FIX YOUR POSTURE AND PUT THE DEVICE AT EYE LEVEL. It will allow your lungs to carry oxygen and a straight path up to your neck so you can even breathe better and relax easier. Exercise is especially important, I just did a light run this morning! Thanks for this video!😀👍 - A long-time subscriber

[@Whosthat_]

Bad at drinking water. Fixing that from today. Thanks Blake.

[@sukiyoki]

I actually started making these changes about a few weeks ago ... And that is when I learned coffee addiction was a thing and I was suffering pretty badly .. thanks Roberto my content was suffering and I felt like I wasnt working hard enough and now I'm seeing that I haven't quite got my diet and sleep in order and coffee addiction is really kicking my ass why lie

[@AndyLifeInVideo]

I have a 30oz tumbler I got for Christmas last year and I fill it up with filtered water every day twice a day!

[@ParrotPlayhouseChannel]

Yes!! This is a video that will change lives. I am going to eat less sugar, new editing chair and sleep more. Love you man!💚🙏🏼

[@pempamsietoursanddevelopme370]

Powerful! Thanks for the encouragement! 🙏🏾 We are a new company and have been on team no sleep for the past 8 months. Burnt out is an understatement. We will definitely apply these tips. Thanks again!

[@kevinsmak]

Great video, I knew a lot of this but it helps hearing it again as I don't follow all these as I should. I stare at screens way to long... I'm hoping another year till I can go full time on YT that will really change things then.

[@3lton807]

quality content Roberto. going green, my veggie and fruit game is low

[@Cerebrotes]

Thanks, Roberto! It's very important to take care of our health to be at our best. As you say, reducing sugar, eating a lot of veggies, moving more, sleeping enough and getting enough vitamin D through sunlight it's important. As a scientist, I just need to make a small comment about what you said about natural sweeteners like honey, the metabolic effect of honey in our bodies is the same as if we consume sugar, as honey is basically more than 80% sugar. So a good idea is to try to add less sugar to your hot drink every time until you get used to the taste of it.

[@amaracea]

FINALLY someone made this video! Thank you!

[@NenaLavonne]

Amaracea ♥️

[@ChroNoDotA]

Taking a 20 minute walk in the sun every day has done wonders for me. As a pro gamer you need to take care of your wrists, and taking the walk helps me with that. I get to move, readjust my eyesight (after 8+ hours at the PC), get vitamin D, and stretch my hands. Good stuff as always Roberto!👏

[@TheACoach]

Thanks so much for the awesome video! I'm really glad you're addressing these healthy habits. Most of these things Ive already addressed myself in the past 6-36 months trying to naturally heal myself, but it's so super important to implement BEFORE people get sick like I did. I can tell you from experience that it's a million times easier to prevent than try to reverse the illness that come about from poor self care habits. 💗💗 I do need to get back to regular walking sessions and that's what I'll be implementing next!

[@Stronzetty]

Thanks Roberto also for this type of content. It's 2:00 am and I should have been to bed a couple of hours ago. The habit I am going to change is going to sleep right now. Keep up the good work, goodnight!

[@TaraNikita]

So right about checking your responses to foods. Had to eliminate cheese and pasta from my diet. Sadly, cheese isn't in my weekly shopping list anymore, but I don't really miss it after 3 months. The most impactful lifestyle changes for me: getting up earlier, doing 30-45 mins of yoga in the mornings before getting started with work, and being aware of how specific foods impact my body.

[@DarthShadie]

I'm working on getting more sleep. I need to sleep to heal the adrenal fatigue. I have insomnia and somniphobia. SO I'm working hard or discovering and healing the trauma causing me to not want to fall asleep. I'm reframing my inner dialogue so that I know that it's good to feel tired and need to take a nap, that that will help me be more productive and healthier later. I'm also changing some morning habits and routines to help start my day on a more productive level.

[@karpogaming]

[@SebastianWestin]

Very important indeed. These are the kind of things I strive to master.

[@TheGamesterShow]

I want to thank you for all the work you have done on the channel. You probably won't see this comment, even more so considering that this video does not talk about a sexy topic. But I want to thank you because, thanks to your advice, I have managed to grow my channel. I barely exceeded 1000 subscribers with 25 videos and your help was vital. In the future I would like to contact you for coaching sessions, but in any case I will continue to apply your advice and work intelligently (being aware of my own resources and limitations). Thank you very much, Roberto.

[@FayeRapsYupITSME]

Nice topic to discuss 😍

[@genehobbs1825]

You are so right! I stopped all that late night youtubing just to go to work the next day after day. I looked at myself and at puffy eyed raccoon looked back. I never had circles or dark Mark's before yt

[@ashphoenix7701]

I've found it helpful to set time limits on my work. When I told myself I wouldn't do any homework after 9:00p.m., no matter what, my productivity soared during the afternoon because I didn't want to miss assignments. As a bonus, I got to go to bed at a decent time.

[@CallieandJordanSquad]

Thanks so much Roberto. Needed this badly today. I have been trying so hard building the channel and the last month the growth has been so slow. I felt I was trying harder I have had to take a step back.

[@SaffronSageAstrology]

The habit that's given me the most productivity is to ask the question: What can I do that will make the most impact? This helps me not get sidetracked or waste time on details that aren't important and instead helps me focus on the actions that lead me straight to my goals!

[@LeatherClass]

I'm going to spend more time outside for sure... I've already cut out a lot of sugar and I love sleeping! Thanks for putting out this really important, useful information.

This came at a perfect time for me; this is exactly the advice I needed to hear right now. Thank you, Roberto!

[@TerryElisabeth]

Thank you, Roberto! This is key advice ... especially nutrition. The most nutrient-dense diet is the AIP paleo diet which is designed for those dealing with autoimmune issues. I have been on it since April and finally feel like I'm almost ready to create content again. After 11 years of dealing with autoimmune issues, this diet is the only thing that really helps. Thanks again, Roberto! I love that you create content that we NEED (when most think they don't want it 😉)

[@YeshuahBoyton]

Hey Roberto thank you so much for sharing!! You covered similar points like Chalene Johnson describes in her book the 131 Method. Health is so important... I am already working on the sleeping habbit, so the next one would be foods&nutrions...

[@RobertoBlake]

I will check out the book!

[@Megaman14]

A healthy habit i'm working on is moving around more at certain hours instead of sitting in the chair and barley moving also thanks for the video and the other habits you mentioned.

[@fredrikbeckker125]

Awesome tips and your thumbnails are really good too it makes me wanna watch your content!

[@monoeeu]

Great tips! I can recommend most of them. Especially combination of enough sleep, workout and right diet (lots of veggies an fruits + regular water). You can do much more work in 2 hours when you are focused than in 4 hours when you are tired. I also recommend to start with 1 or 2 habits and only after they become routine, try to pick up something else. If you try change too many things at once, chances are you won't change anything.

[@CoryBaldwin85]

Definatley needed this. I committed to a friend to making sleep a priority for my health this morning. Weird timing for this video that's the second coincidence like this you've done with your videos. Thanks

[@jesss8060]

[@OutdatedLeon]

We should not only be mindful about time management but also energy management... geez, that's a real eye-opener. It sounds obvious but it was something I've been overlooking for so long! I should probably sleep more (been going on with a 5-hour sleep cycle) and get more exercise under the sun (I've been neglecting exercising). Thanks, Roberto. This video sure helped me a lot!

[@TrishJonesTV]

Been working on my diet and nutrition for some months now, lost some weight, but now need to focus on bedtime and wake up routine. I prefer to work late at night and wake up later, but I’m going to test my productivity by doing the reverse. Awesome video by the way. 🙏🏽
