This is great. Congrats on sobriety I am in the same boat. Just randomly woke up and decided to stop drinking..meditation changes you. Thanks

[@schuylergeery-zink1923]

Birds be like that… but they’re very cute! We just bought a house so will be moving our bird feeders over and enjoying the view from our new windows. I’ve been sober since the beginning of July! Partially bc of your channel - thanks!

[@asyaasghar3465]

Please tell me Are chakras real ? Do science accept that chakras are real ? Please 🥺😭😭😭 tell me because I wanna open my heart chakra

[@TheBruceKeller]

Quitting booze was the best productivity hack I've ever done. Went from being a 20 year old for 20 years to actually getting stuff done outside of work hours. Finally finishing my Bachelor's next year and learning coding etc. Hopefully can be financially independent before 50. Got 9 years. :D

[@cristiplopeanu]

"Financially independent" can mean many things. Make sure you create solid context around it so you don't unconsciously follow a meaning that might lead you to undesired results. Booze sucks! it creates an energetic unbalance and shift towards emotional thinking, so critical thinking and learning become impossible. Good luck w/ your plans!

[@nickrkr]

Wishing you all the very best

[@sukmadiak945]

Awesome!!! It's never too late. Keep it up

[@illiJomusic]

Go get it

[@rockjockchick]

[@justinlo4592]

I thought this was just another general life advice that left me motivated for a good 5 minutes to do work, but this video actually has good, solid, and concrete advice on what’s important. I appreciate the content, and hopefully I can start implementing it!

[@evelynspaghetti4978]

Yeah, this guy is not like the others...

[@E4Sierra]

True, he's providing some valid, valuable advice - however it's nothing new under the sun. For almost three decades I've been hearing others (such as Brian Tracy, Tim Ferriss, Gary Keller, etc.) teach the exact principles contained in this video. And presenting regurgitated information as a mash-up of sorts, with one's own personal twist and delivery style thrown into the mix, is *hardly* ".. the best advice _no one ever told you_ "

[@IsmailAhmad]

@@E4Sierra yes, there’ll be hardly any video that depicts a completely different life advice bcz it’s just the inherent understanding of a human which he tends to listen in different ways. But the whole idea of sharing advices which can be life changing to many, but what I mean is mostly we get to see the same titles where content creator itself reinforces the idea of some life changing advice (Not entirely for clickbait, perhaps bcz this is how our mind works in the first place) Not promoting him, but after watching better ideas. It feels as if Joey Schweitzer sets a different tone to approach similar issues. What do you say?

[@EnzoMka]

9:19 It clearly reminds me of the story about the woman who approached Picasso in a restaurant, asked him to scribble something on a napkin, and said she would be happy to pay whatever he felt it was worth. Picasso complied and then said, “That will be $10,000.” “But you did that in thirty seconds,” the astonished woman replied. “No,” Picasso said. “It has taken me forty years to do that.”

[@hopefully2224]

As a designer I'm in this position all the time. People try to get free advice on things it has taken me decades to get good at.

[@TheMediumChannel]

Ah yes, by any other name...WORK SMART NOT HARD. Out of all the golden nuggets of this video the key point for me is this "Money is an exchange for value, not time"...this is absolutely the NEW paradigm, the NEW MONEY. Everything I do in my business is about adding value, even commenting on my favorite videos on YT like this one my goal is to add value to Clarks viewers...to help his analytics through the engagement metrics and to draw attention to my own work as each comment is a small sample of what I do, what I believe, how I can help others... this is a win-win-win and it sure beats these guys on YT who copy paste some spiritual quote in all the comment streams without even watching their videos and sign it "from a growing law of attraction youtuber" lol. Namaste

[@calvinschindzielorz754]

a youtube comment is especially valuable when it polarises. creates engagement and therefore boosts the algorithm, so even a comment thats a dumb joke or seems like theres no value to its content can most of the times be the most valuable comment for the youtuber

[@HeiwirtFarmSim]

I think it's funny that we get trained to be less productive. I had many jobs that I've been very good at and finished my tasks 3 or 4 hours after I started. And only once in my job career I had a boss that told me I could do what I want when I was finished because I deserved it. Others needed the full 8 hours for the same task because they told themselves "I get as much if I do it slow". So sad the company moved and I only worked there for some time. My last job rewarded me for being fast with even more work, so I started saying I get the same money for 6 times more work than my colleagues. I am now sick because my depressions got worse and started making music. And i feel way better already, I can do 3 hours of writing lyrics and trying to rap or sing them and get something done and when I'm done I have time to do more or take a break as reward. My next job will definitely be a job where I don't get paid for my time, I want to get paid for my productivity.

[@bluecoffee8414]

I feel you bootylicious. I'm a lawyer - or was - and one of the most demoralizing aspects as an associate is the goal is to get more billable hours. so no matter HOW much you work or how fast or how slow you just face an endless wall of hours staring at you

[@razzdiamond6447]

This one helped me get my shit together this morning. Thank you for putting this out there - "Do less, but do what matters" is something I'll write down to remember.

[@khadijakhan4997]

Only 15 mins 51 second and u can understand what does it mean by "Utilizing your time" thanks a bunch Clark ! :)

[@GhastlyTheater]

This was very helpful; I often feel guilty when I’m not actively trying to complete everything in my checklist in one day. But, that in itself would mentally exhaust me, which only added to my guilt.

[@rohaniesaalim]

"Do less but only do what matters" Noted ❤️

[@catstickler]

Easily THE BEST video on productivity. Very practical advice here. I find I get pretty overwhelmed because I'm probably just doing too much. Between 1:1 client work (very hands-on), cohorts (involved but not high-touch), and writing goals (what always gets pushed to the side for clients), it's hard to know what that one thing is. Because, of course, I need to create evergreen content to get more clients, but if I'm too maxed out serving the clients I *do* have, I'm not being forward thinking for the future for when I wrap up projects for these clients. (Inevitably, I get into a feast-and-famine cycle.) Anyway, I don't actually expect any advice here because it's a comments section, but if anyone else is struggling with this (immediate client work vs future proofing your business), you're not alone.

[@snowflake-vr8or]

I am honestly truly impressed, you got my sub

[@robinterhune]

this video has eased my nervous system...which has allowed inspiration to return. you have such great energy, clark, and the truth bombs and insights are huge in our reprogramming of what productivity actually means. ytb!

[@matrixphotodesign]

Completely agree, My biggest lessons come from my failures , " Now I say , Im never doing that again " , I brush my self and start again.

[@jorgev9674]

I been doing lots of "how to be productive" ideas but this one here has really put my mind at ease and showed me how to really use my energy and not burn out! Thanks for the advice!

[@memouiiss]

Thanks Clark, much appreciated. I am trying all I have to make this KZbin channel work and I am on it like a month or two. I want all of my free time to make it a success out of nothing and I do not want to waste any time, but now that I know that "wasted" time is necessary for me to learn and do it right, I can take my time perfecting it. Cannot wait to make it my main job.

[@ace_broken6077]

In my summer holiday i did a journal and youre so right. I did the easiest tasks first and then waited till 9 pm until i finally convinced myself to to the hard work

[@kristinawoodward111]

yes! I am heavily in my masculine especially as a mum which means I feel I always I need to get something done and have endless to do list The thing is I never get it all done. Since starting my own business/youtube channel I realised it is not helpful to give myself a crazy amount to do. Now I only give myself 2 things to do a day that is the most important.

[@sleepconcentrationmeditation]

That locksmith analogy summarizes this perfectly. ROW - Results Only Work! 🍀

[@YaBoiAustin-bi7rk]

I absolutely love the aesthetic of this video compared to the others, mad props to the editors!

[@tchro1950]

I think I get it now for a moment there I thought that clearing out my space to work out was going to be what I do in those two hours but I'm realizing that that 2 hours should be a workout missing my safe place of non-judgment it's those other 6 hours that I can put the time and effort into clearing the space but what I need to focus on is the workout when it gets done it'll be done then I can utilize it but until then I have to actually work out thank you thank you thank you for your advice

Great! Consistency is the key to most investors like me

[@born2bleedclothing201]

This 1 REALLY resonates Clark... makes a lot of sense! My old boss used to try to get everyone to do effework and said "We need to make sure we're not being busy fools!"... Thanks man, love your content!🤘Steve

[@TheMediumChannel]

Ahh, we have a 20-80 rule in platform mediumship as well. In groups 20% of the people get 80% of the messages. Some spirits are just freakin LOUD. Happy Samhain and Halloween

[@RobertHinich]

Absolutely loved this content. You are inspiring and knowledgeable, but most importantly, endearing and real. Thank you….🙏 👏👏👍

[@jasminemarin742]

I've heard this message before but for some reason it just hit differently. I finally get it.

[@qlim3320]

Thank you for this. I followed your advice today and by mid day I was done with what I wanted to accomplish. And I still gather enough energy to work out after, go for a walk and type this while seated on a bench in a park.

[@SerpentStar_]

Hey, heard 80/20 locksmith story from Tony Robbins but it was a FedEx repairman. $10,000 bill = $1 to turn a screw to fix the machine, $9,999 for knowing which screw to turn 💰

[@whitefang3282]

I needed this today, thank you!

[@erin7821]

I love the locksmith example. My husband is a locksmith and you are so on point with the time vs $$

[@gyanwire]

I watched many of your videos in the past few days but this is the best value-adding video till now, matches my thoughts, I was thinking the same thing 'do less but it impacts more" but still made the same mistakes, filming is hard for me (had some other issue) but now Ill try my best. like & subscribing for this one.

[@j.singer8461]

Useful and accurate advice. Thank you!

[@yocool7083]

THANK U I LITERALLY WROTE The best paragraph in my note

[@lotvandervelde713]

Damn this video was spot on... I was studying for an exam with that screaming kind of 'study motivation' playing in the background when you uploaded the video. But honestly, your advice and tips are much better and actually sound like I could manage to follow them. Thanks, Clark!

[@Dajhaniel]

I love how you've managed to put in words what I've been feeling for quite some time now. Thank you!

[@serafinaa]

always straight to the point-great video :)

[@donovanreich]

I’ve been feeling off my game for quite some time, but I just couldn’t grasp why until this video… you explained so eloquently the precise reason why I’ve been overwhelmed and not making as much progress as I’d expected in my business. Thank you for your valuable insight and advice! 🙌

[@johnp7739]

Nice video. Despite the clickbait title, Tim Ferriss' 4-Hour Work Week also made this point very well.

[@cmonster67]

I haven't heard the term ROWE in years! I was surprised it wasn't talked about more during the lockdowns.

[@rome5320]

you are a honest youtuber We love your content

[@AndrewWYT]

a lot of people will tell you to grind for hours on end and if you exhaust yourself and wake up at 4 you will automatically successful. completely disagree, like you say find that one thing you can do a day to make you satisfied. great video brother

[@nitefise3890]

11:06 Excellent advice

[@tamiatwork8148]

Thank you Clark. I have gotten a lot of good stuff from your talks.

[@vcab5319]

love the new setup, Clark!

[@nononononono1730]

I usually don't do this but I'm gonna watch this video again, it's really valuable for me 🥰

[@the.bonsai.samurai]

Aaaaah those 30 birds! 💩🤣🤣🤣 Amazing content as always thanks Clark!! I have always felt guilty for not having the perfect morning routine, glad you commented on that here! 💪

[@vincentwiriady9172]

This is similar to one of the key points in the "Make Time"book mentioning our one HIGHLIGHT of the day

[@AnkitKumar-di2sj]

I usually don't comment on videos, but man this video is true Quality, a ton of useful information in it, and have to say about you talking skills. I was hooked for like 15:51 minutes and that too without those background music and fancy transitions. Thanks a lot bro for this video. I'll start implementing these things right away & see where it takes me.

[@allisonmccune9556]

So I realized I was able to get house work and chores done when I had school work that needed to be completed. Covid came and messed everything up… I need to quit alcohol. I’m Irish and come from a family of alcoholics. I used to be a heroin addict. I have been clean from that for almost ten years. I picked up alcohol, had a problem with it, dropped it for a while, got back into it once I got with my significant other. I’m not blaming him, I know I have an addictive personality. I am a first time mother. I would like to say, if you’re the mommy in the relationship, you are going to be the one who is going to be pulled out of that focus state (especially if the other parent isn’t the one who isn’t the stay at home one.) I’m not an ultra feminist. I come from a family of majority men. I named my son after the men on my paternal side that have passed. I was so elated when I found out that I was having a baby boy! One thing that’s funny: I’m an only child. My Cousins and I have all had boys. My paternal grandmother had six boys. Something must have skipped a generation. I have a female cousin on my paternal side and a female cousin who has had a son on my maternal side. We have all made boys! The male brain is fascinating to me. You boys are special. I have always felt a very loving bond to you. Girls are made of sugar, spice, and everything nice. Boys are made of… You know snakes, snails, and puppy dog tails. Or maybe; they’re just dumb, young, and full of… The silliness?! I don’t know…?!

[@pattipilot]

How has your life changed since you stopped drinking? Have you done any videos on sobriety?

[@kyle1732]

You are so helpful. I'm applying this now. I am extremely grateful for you Clark

[@JaweriaInspires]

Thank you Clark for making me go more toward the realistic approach to life.

[@vivkadbi]

Always loved your videos, but I’m even more inspired now seeing how you and Ed partnered up to make them even more epic and fun✨

[@aarongaffney6466]

I was curious.. it did seem this one had a bit of Epicness dust sprinkled on it!

[@thice220]

This was actually really good

[@Musicbypinge]

This is my new favorite youtuber, this video was the best ive ever seen.. Its so interesting when thinking about my work. Some of my colleagues makes 20 emails a day while some makes 180. I have even heard about a guy on my work doing 400 sometimes, myself im doing about 40-80. Imagine how easy it is for that guy doing 400 emails a day, to make 100 during his focus time. He could basically work 2h a day and do something else 6h and get payed anyways, cuz 100 is still really good. Then he could use that 6h to focus more on stuff that is important.

[@donotdisturb6326]

I discovered this channel right now either this video being the second one watched till now and it seems quite helpful. This one is different from others.

[@ome1541]

This is what called a real inspirational video THANKS❤

[@maria-josesegovia8905]

I am not sure if you believe in spirit guides but I am sure mine ones put this video on purpose. Lately, I've been asking help for be more discipline and procrastinate less (I do not google anymore for these things long ago), and the other day going on the kayak I realized my panic of failure, (can be the root of my procrastination), I was kayaking and I saw a bird that could not fly out of the sea, after a few tries we could not get him and I just got upset, I lie down on the kayak, asking to go back to shore that I did not want padel anymore, it was when I realized my panic of failure block me and made me do nothing. Luckily my partner went back to the bird and in the end, we could save him. And now after 3 days appear this video first on youtube, Thanks for this video :)

[@rockjockchick]

Good job realizing!

[@joeymurillo4203]

This is actually really great tool. I do love the wake up at 4am on Mondays because gym is too packed and I start work at 8:30 but I take a cold shower after the workout, breakfast and go to work. After I do the rest of the stuff I got to do and it works but on others days I do other different routine but this sounds good to throw in it.

[@AndrewWYT]

people really underestimate the amount of work you can get done with two uninterrupted hours

[@pluviophile5996]

Just completed your course Clark and it has helped me a lot to sort out things for myself and it's getting better. Thank you so much! 💓 Much love...

[@sayyourthing]

I've watched a lot of productivity videos in my life, and this is by far the BEST. Amazing job Clark and team 🙌

[@michaelisonyoutube]

Hi Clark! I love your videos. Thank you for motivating me to start my own KZbin account.

[@dr.shalbhikumar4634]

Focus is the absence of distraction, R.O.W.E. My two takeaways from this video!!!

[@quantum_man]

Soul Alignement and the constructive use of Imagination is more important than productivity

[@rockjockchick]

Did u even watch the video?

[@quantum_man]

@@rockjockchick Yes I did, for the second time to understand your point and to elaborate on my original comment. When one is Soul Aligned and makes full use of the constructive use of Imagination, one is automatically focused and productive, energetic and Inspired and knows intuitively and instinctively what to do (what is important and what matters) and when to do it, in a flowing and creative manner that is results oriented or outcomes based... Did I miss anything?

[@extraterrestrialrapper3326]

Relevant and beneficial information

[@javinhondlebe3487]

This is something that I can relate to because 20%of the things you spoke about, I do them 80% of the time. I have been stuck on building my business, I don't know if maybe it's the fear of dealing with depression again or what..but that kept me on the edge of not finishing because of thinking about funding and all that, since well I do not have money to invest in it, but I will put all this into practice..this video came at the right time of the day

[@Erikmelgard]

Awesome. I will try to implement this

[@mahdihabibi7984]

Thanks for your advice over productivity. I hope this helps me throw my goals.

[@breeaortiz3866]

Love your videos ❤

[@olyavmusic]

one of my issues is when I do the 2 hour needle moving activity and it works but I didn't work 8 hours for it I feel guilty haha, but this is very true and a wonderful video!

[@aarongaffney6466]

totally! the guilt and shame will dissipate when you repeat for a long time

[@FortuneSushi]

Thank you so much. This one is reasonable, sustainable and easy to execute. Great things start from simple things such as this.

[@jonasjanaitis436]

I'll give it a try because it sounds worth a shot ...this is exactly my situation...I spend (or was trying to spend) all day just learning new things in programming so that I can get my first job as a programmer. And now, if someone asks me how long it took me to learn, I will have to lie, because I am afraid if will tell the truth no one will want to hire me.

[@schuylergeery-zink1923]

Nahh… when people ask me how I wrote my first novel, I tell them. After I came home from work everyday I spent about 1-2 hours writing. It took a few months on and off of doing that but I wrote a book like that and actually the last few chapters/10k words I hammered out over a weekend - I was in the flow state, rocking it for several hours at a time. I also chunked for the BAR exam. Morning, 2-3 hour study, walk/ lunch break, 3 hour practice exams, walk/dinner or hit the gym first. I did a couple full day practice exams to replicate the feeling of having to do that (tiring). But I passed! I also used a trick with a meditative state - you get in a calm state and then you scan the pages of your books by softly staring at the pages for a few seconds each. Then go back through the read the content. Then when answering questions I didn’t consciously know, go with your gut. It sounds crazy, but it worked for me.

[@EduardoHenrique-nd1ro]

80/20, Eat That Frog, One Thing, Deep Work, Vital few, those have the same principle. Is to do less, but to do what matters, that most important thing in your day.
