The Future Of Productivity (A Daily Routine To Prepare For Chaos)

[@DanKoeTalks]

I rambled a lot in this one, the real stuff starts at 15:15 if you don't want to hear it.

[@Feemanliveng]

I will watch from the first minute

[@alipourangnia8599]

Optimize for creativity not productivity!! 🪙

[@sassypannu]

The first 15:15 ❤😂

[@TmgMedia975]

You should just cut all the rambling in the start, that 15 minutes could have been said in 1 minute.

[@alexjimmy2400]

I just woke up early and had added your video into my watch later playlist because of your title but my thoughts felt a little rambled from your ways of navigating the essence of it all until the 15th minute mark. It was like you made sense and yet deviated from what you were getting at the same time. I wasn’t sure if it was just me or if I didn’t have a sense of understanding until I read your comment as well. I love that you are putting out important observations and how it’s true that a quality idea beats quantity, I am a big believer of all that but please try to stay on topic before you ramble into other thoughts that play out as you speak 🙌🏻

This is powerful. I have been arguing that AI is a tool and its effectiveness remains with the user.

[@krystalcarey]

Dan, I'm using a lot of your content to homeschool my daughter about critical thinking and questioning the narrative. Thanks for this excellent content.

[@Tangi_ENT]

Holy. Bro. You’re almost at a mil. Just realised. Maaaaan. I’m so psyched for you. I’ve been here since you were barely over a 100k. This growth has been phenomenal. Broooo, my brother is being cemented LSFG !!!!!!!

[@DanKoeTalks]

It's crazy man. Thank you for being here for it all :)

[@Tangi_ENT]

@@DanKoeTalks glad to be here man. Honestly the universe has blessed us immensely for these bountiful resources. I literally take crazy long walks and write incessantly because of you. All things that are priceless. What a time to be alive. Woooo.

[@eladbari]

@14:09 - That's the KEY POINT. How can one learn to rehabilitate themselves from the wage worker mindset? As you're used to have tasks flow to you, be told what you're doing today, and now as a solo creator you have to generate those missions yourself.

[@577zkerr]

I'm working so hard to get out of my 9 to 5 so that I can quit working so hard and start having fun. The day-to-day work right now is just so soul sucking, but I know what's on the other side. Thank you for keeping me focused and inspired, Dan.

[@mariusenigma1783]

Yes dear Dan, you're right. Focusing on one task at a time is key for success. Till it's get done, let nothing distract you. But ... what choice you'll take, what's your priority ? Choose wisely, afterward you're always smarter ;) TY

[@mariusenigma1783]

Thank you. One task next next year and month ... i get rid of all my depts. Latest in spring 2025 i start my journey. Dear Dan, i want to thank you for your advices in the videos you share ... and so important, the're costfree ;) TY

I am implementing everything I learn from Dan. Already a creative(an artist) and a collector of perspectives. Putting out more content to connect with likeminded creators.

[@aanne12]

I can’t recommend Your Life, Your Game by Keezano enough! This book truly changed my life. It beautifully illustrates how connecting with God and prioritizing your family can lead to profound spiritual growth, stronger relationships, and success in every area of life. A life-changing read-don’t miss it. Amen. God bless!

[@arianab.99]

[@panagope]

The truth : I have plenty of time, so I stopped my every day work, for 2 years and I decided to do 4 hours of deep work every day ( after watching 100's of videos that they speak about that ). What I have learned is that is extremely difficult to do 4 hours of Deep work in a day. Usually you can do 45 min, after a walk, after another 45 min, after some other task, after 30 min.. etc. so the deep work can only be applied for 2-2.5 hours, the rest is leisure work. That's why the more realistic goal that a normal human being can do is 2.5 hours of deep work (max). This is my experience, no matter how much I have tried. (MSc educated).

[@nikkireigns]

I had thought/assumed that to write I needed to dedicate 8 hours a day to it. I learned that is impossible but trying for years left me procrastinating so much. I remember the fun and high I’d have for an hour or so though

[@laurence7409]

Thank you Dan for all these significant contents. Your book is the perfect example of clarity in mind, It is so refreshing. I wish you a wonderful new year !

[@TheCommonFolk]

Man, your videos are awesome. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and strategies. Your content is still the main content I watch during my walks. Happy New Year to you and yours!

[@necrosteel5013]

2:03 that point about books, I often call them the echoes of the dead that your psyche feed on to evolve. It's far more than just impregnating one's mind, it assimilation of it to turn the two into one.

[@Novastar.SaberCombat]

I "work"--or rather, CREATE--for about 6-8 hours M-F. But I don't do that for 12 months per year, nor do I skip breaks. But over 2021-2024, I outlined, wrote, edited, formatted, designed, and published 600,000 words, 350+ non-A.I. illustrations, and 4 glorious covers. Award-winning stuff, too! 💪😎✌️ 🐲✨🐲✨🐲✨

3 Things That Helped Me Achieve Wealth: 1. I stopped telling myself, "I’ll do it tomorrow." 2. I started watching videos by Dan Koe. 3. I read a book called The Gilded Nexus of Prosperity

[@RaichoNikolov]

The biggest disadvantage of all note taking and productivity software is that they have their own space where everything happens. Thus I need to get out of my context and enter the context of the productivity software in order to write something. If I want to start a project, some of the information will be in files in a folder in my computer (mind maps, spreadsheets, images, PDFs, documents...), some of the information will be in Google Docs or Google Sheets and some of the information will be in notes in my note taking program like Notion, Kortex or Workflowy. It is supposed the productivity program to help me focus, not to distract me. The best productivity program should be like a conductor of an orchestra. It should be like a file manager where everything is it at your fingertips. I imagine a file manager which can do notes, Google Sheets, to do lists and it's easy to use as a simple note-taking program.

[@joaovictornave]

The only thing I still disagree with is conflating specialization with having no agency. In a lot of fields, creative specially, there is a lot of room for creativity, vision and agency. Of course it will require the exact skillset you talk about.

4 hours of concentrated deep work, means 9-10 hours together with the breaks

[@cristiplopeanu]

not really ... you pay a cognitive price whenever you take a break, you'll come back with a lower cognitive connection to your work and it's going to be hard or even impossible to reconnect

[@JuliosStudio]

Depends what you are working on. But usually that’s procrastinating imo

[@Barbarian646]

I think 4hrs a day is manageable, I have a 9-5 job which is very draining, 4hrs (on weekends/days off) would be no problem for me, I'd feel less pressure and more content overall.

[@Yarivperelmuter]

I get a lot of inspiration watching your videos , I also bought the OPBP and something happens when i watch your content : I'm becoming determined to follow through . But the inspiration deflates rather quickly because I can't bring myself to focus or be consistent . I lose focus and concentration quickly , i become restless and distracted (Mainly doom scrolling and engaging in comments in a time consuming manner ) Since I have been battling with ADHD from childhood pretty much , I feel desperate and lost and I lose hope that is will change . I used to be medicated for it but I'm not anymore . Do you have an advice for people in my status ? Can you recommend a good method to overcome it? I feel that my life is stuck because of that and that my progress is slow and that I will always have to chase 9-5 jobs in order to keep going. I'm a creative person - songwriter , writer and the occasional actor/ comedian , but even with that i have never really achieved a structure that would work and translate it into an income. I'm sorry to overflow this comments section here with this issue , but i needed to share and vent. Hope that somehow resonates with a good advice or tip(s) that i could use. Thank you
