I have read most of the books this video summarises. Cant express how much time this video saves you. It is so well explained! Thanks for what you are doing!
Excellent compilation of productivity rules! 🚀 The 'Two-Minute Rule' and 'Daily Highlight' are particularly effective for maintaining focus and momentum throughout the day, turning overwhelming tasks into manageable actions.
To say that this video is brilliant is the understatement of the year. Bravo! I will try to replicate the design in a document that I can keep at my desk.
This seems like the worst period. Even the market are now very unpredictable. Started investing recently when the market prices were a bit high,today I am more than 60% down!
Don’t be confuse buying the dip in a bear market, with guaranteed future returns. Just because that company is down 60%+ from ATH does NOT make it a sound long-term investment. Make sure you’re investing in great companies. kudos to Alexandra marie
Whoever is reading this, I pray for you: a heart free of sorrow, a mind free of worries, a life filled with joy, an abundant source of financial wealth, a body free of disease disability and a day filled with God's blessings

If only I could really say “Hell No” to the laundry, the cooking, the clean up. Who else is going to do it? We can’t all hire a staff to do the mundane! All kidding aside, this is a great video with tips we all should have been taught as young people. Thank you!
While I agree that some of these could be effective at increasing productivity. There are also several that will make you become more dependent on other people to achieve your goals or complete your tasks. For example, "Ask who, not how" where you ask someone to do it for you instead of asking how you can do it yourself. That's weak thinking. Man up, do it yourself. These behaviors lead to compromises and excuses, manipulation and also can just make people lazy. Obviously there are certain parameters and personal limitations that might make soloing it harder, but that will make you stronger. People need to try and be more independent, this new generation that practice some of these "rules", they're weak, lazy, easily offended, entitled narcissists and it's getting worse. Great video though, love the channel.
This was amazing! I can always apply the nuggets you present in my daily life. You captured my attention with the subjects presented and the graphics. Thank you for your time and creativity with these videos ✨️

"Don't Touch It Twice" and "The Zeigarnik Effect" are contradicting! Great video though.. a wise individual should know how to strike a balance between these two rules.
Some of these rules clearly clash with each other. For ex., "Don’t touch it twice" and "The salami slice method "; or "Eat the frog first" and "Biological prime time". And some don't make any sense, like the rule to wait 72 hours after you're hungry to make a decision; or the rule to only do things that excite us, as if someone else will come and floss our teeth for us, lol!
Don't touch it twice is compatible with The Salami Slice Method. It just means to use the Salami Slice Method in one course and eat the largest slice (the frog) first then eat the leftovers then you can eat something else {the next course). Do this when you are mostly concentrated. Also by exciting things first means to enjoy the little joy in the ugly course.
