I have a gazillion pens and notebooks and I love making ‘TO DO’ lists, which we all know is overwhelming. HOWEVER, I have found that making an ‘I DID’ list instead of a ‘TO DO’ list is much more validating, rewarding, and motivating. Write down the little accomplishments throughout the day and it feels better. A personal high five. You’ll realize how much you actually do. I don’t think we really ‘forget’ what needs to be done anyway, we just choose not to remember it if that makes sense. At the end of the day you can go to sleep knowing even if there is only 1 or 2 things on your I DID list, it was an ok day. But try it. Give yourself credit for all the little things you do. I bet you’ll surprise yourself!

I started doing this a few years back because I noticed my cousin brought a notebook everywhere. Accomplished so much because of it. It reintroduced me to doodling which led to drawing, full-color drawing with oil markers, then to painting. It then led me to write my own book and challenged me to draw a children's alphabet book within a week. Helped me learn Italian and currently learning Japanese.

My ADHD is so bad sometimes that I have to write out a to do list for even just the next hour as I get up, go to the kitchen, put the kettle on, go to the bathroom, make tea, get a snack etc. Like everything has to be planned out sometimes or I will just forget and get distracted. Not to mention all the to do lists of actual tasks and work that I need to do. I can definitely vouch for the to-do list, it basically helps me function.

@Raptvre_media 2 года назад

I suffered from depression a while ago and I couldn't get anything done at all. My thoughts were like a giant ball of chaos, lost my job, wife cheated on me, best friend died from cancer, had to take care of my dog... and on and on and on. This is where I got the suggestion from my doctor to take a pen and a piece of paper and write down all that Chaos in my head. And that's what I did and still do to this day only that I've gotten through with the depression and now the writing is more like a great habit to capture ideas, thoughts and to do lists. Simply taking a few minutes of the day to sit down and write, really can bring some order into that chaos, that procrastination or creative struggle. It helped me a lot.

@DJBattousai 2 года назад

Dude... The whole thing of describing "Too much to do and focus on, so I end up doing NOTHING" Literally describes a symptom of conditions like ADHD. I know that feeling too damn well.

@JustinBradleyPhotographer 2 года назад

Dude exactly! I was just explaining to my wife how many people are not in control of their lives. Think about it.... Are you reactive or proactive? Do you wake up or do you set an alarm the night before to control what time you wake up? Do you prepare breakfast knowing you will be hungry or do you prepare breakfast when you get hungry? If you are only reacting to your environment are you really in control of your life? You have to be proactive and take control of your life or it will control you.

@speliotis 2 года назад

right on Brother Justin....

@highasheaven9239 2 года назад

I don't agree with this, because setting an alarm is being proactive, choosing the time at which you wake up. Same thing for the breakfast, most people get hungry after a full night of fasting, should I not get hungry to be proactive? If it rains, is it bad that I take my coat? That's reactive, but it's not a bad reactive, it's just adapting to my environment. I would say that being reactive is waiting for things to happen when you could make them happen, because I don't think that every reaction is bad, most are actually good, but not when you consider this to be the normal behavior.

@JustinBradleyPhotographer 2 года назад

@@highasheaven9239 It was an example, nor did I necessarily say it was bad, nor did I offer my opinion. It was simply an observation, and a thought provoking question, any notion of it being negative is imposed entirely by you. Everything is not meant to be black and white. I suppose you could assume I'm one way by my comment, but not for certain. If you would have just asked I would have told you that I sincerely believe the key in that statement is finding balance. What parts of your life are better served reactive, dronelike, versus other moments. I sincerely believe the more reactive you are, the faster you blow through life and the more often you will comment, "damn the years are flying by." In the sense I am speaking of, I consider the act of setting your alarm as proactive, hitting snooze reactive. There are people without jobs who wake up when their body says they're done, immediately goes to the bathroom to evacuate waste, eats food because they are hungry and eventually showers because they smell. Versus the person that goes against the temptation to be lazy that we all feel. You have to take control of your day to slow down life, to be able to stop and take it all in. And I thought it goes without saying that obviously there are things in life that are out of your control. Like I'm not going to stand on a railroad track and let it hit me just to prove I'm not reactive. Nor would anyone. I didn't say it because I thought it was obvious

@crellagecommunity7168 2 года назад

This is the best short therapist, though one thing to know, very important; - Sometimes and mostly you need someone or something to control your life first before you take the hold of it and start to control by yourself. Great example is kids, they need to be controlled before they take the controller else they will doom themselves.

@LALopezWei 2 года назад

Talk about putting things off... I've been putting off watching this video for a while, and I finally just finished it. I started reading Atomic Habits recently, and more and more I'm realizing that a lot of the things people talk about for leading successful, meaningful lives, really all just boil down to our daily habits. I really like "starting somewhere is better than not starting at all." That's absolutely right. For years now, I've been stuck, not getting enough done because I'm always trying to outsmart myself in a way, and do something really big and grand, meanwhile I constantly put off the smaller, more bite-sized and manageable stuff.

@oracleofvalerius 2 года назад

I’ve been doing it in my head for the past 30 years. It’s awesome when you stare at that mirror at the end of the day and go “well done John, good for you”. I’ve tried doing the notebook thing but have realized over time it’s just not for me. What does work is getting up early, making or getting a coffee, sitting down away from your computer or phone and just thinking about the day and what you want to get done, some I mark as stretch goals and work at them. It’s not perfect but it seems to work.

This is interesting. I lived through the age of the pen and paper…taking notes. Now years later a thirty something RU-vidr introduces a concept of basically a refined to do list. You live long enough you see things repeat themselves and in an age of false connection and likes and dislikes..( no grey area). It’s so nice to see the old traditions are brought back to life through you and your discovering a new way of focusing your valuable energies. It’s not a new concept but reconnecting with ideas that work is a good thing.

Just wanted to say thanks. I have tried several productivity methods over the years and while it's still early days, the method in this video has helped me. I am crossing off day 13. While getting more stuff done is always good, I think the big value for me is having an easier time switching tasks. I have never been much of a multitasker. But, with the paper method and having this benchmark against myself every day, I know what to expect and what's coming up next. It makes it easier. Super rad. Thanks again.

Took LOTS of notes about this. Now to try to put it into action. Thinking I'll start w.5 items 'cause I get overwhelmed then stressed then discouraged then give up rather than try again. Thanks for sharing!

This advice actually comes at the PERFECT time! I've been looking for the perfect use for my Pete's Pirate Life black notebooks too. Just made my first 5 tasks for today and we'll see where I am in 30 days

Writing is one of my favorite things to do and I have been Journaling for most of my life on and off. I currently have 5 different journals that I use for different things. I find joy in it and so excited for you and this new journey that you are on!! Also, as you mentioned it is great to look back at where you were to where you are currently through your own thoughts, lists and handwriting. 😃

Dude! I totally agree with this! I have been doing this since I started trying to showcase my photography, editing and flying passions. I'm only just now learning who I am. You taught me that bro. Atleast you helped inspire me to find out who I am. A photographer/editor! Thank you for your content brother! 🙏 Stay Awesome

It's been known for a long time that the more physically you record an idea, the deeper the neural pathways laid down by it. Writing it down with a pen works more than typing on a keyboard, and typing on a keyboard works more than poking a surface, which barely works at all. That's why so much slips through your brain - because you're not _interacting_ with your ideas anymore. The more physical the contact, the deeper the connection and the more likely you'll remember and engage with it.

The first thing I write when creating a list is: "Make a list". When I'm done I can cross the first item!

@debb.6413 2 года назад

Good point. I use both but since I can't text with my thumbs (arthritis from too many wrong jobs..haha), it would make sense to keep notebook in pocket so I go for that FIRST!)

I’ve been working on consistently journaling and figuring out my own format that works for me. I love the 8 critical tasks idea! I’m implementing that immediately. Thanks for sharing. 😎🤘🏻

@RaquelGonzalezShop 2 года назад

Thank you thank you thank you!!! Is this an issue that all creatives face? Your description of messy anxious days are pretty much my daily life... It's so overwhelming. I will find me a notebook today and get started. Good luck and keep up with this amazing routine🤟🤜

Peter, I'd like to recommend a great book called Make Brilliant Work by Rod Judkins. Talks about focus and would compliment the techniques you mentioned in the video. It's so good!

@joedavis9842 2 года назад

I have always thought that physically writing things down helps me remember to do them and get them done, my only problem is that I end up doing this on scrap paper or different notebooks and then it's just everywhere. Notion has worked wonders for me though just because I always have my phone or computer on me so I always have access to my....well everything.

@addiemorgiewicz4973 2 года назад

Hahahahaha dude same! I have so many random scrap pieces of paper and too many notebooks. I gotta designate one and try to keep it organized in its own spot.
