@@mistiemill3262 the stuff on the main burner would be getting working on now, meanwhile the back burner is stuff that's going to get onto the main burner when you finish whatever task you're on.

@Thomasfrank 4 года назад

Hope you enjoyed this one! I'm going to try something new and create a public journal of sorts that details how I'm pushing my skills and learning. 1% Rule log for this video: - I wanted the reel-to-reel to spin continuously and never skip due to a jump cut. So I had to film the video twice and alternate angles anytime I didn't cover up a cut with B-roll - Combined two different creative LUTs to achieve more retro looking skin tones. In the past I've always just tried to choose one. I also experimented with masked/feathered color grading layers on the sides that have the "faded film" slider pushed up, which did an ok job of simulating a bit of haze without making the middle section look too faded. - Got a bit better at EQ'ing the dialogue - though I did screw up with the mic positioning on the wide shot, which is why it's a bit echo-y when I lean forward. What is the 1% Rule? Essentially, it's the idea that you should aim to get 1% better with each piece of work you do, instead of pressuring yourself to create "perfect" work. Over time, these 1% improvements add up as long as you're consistent. More info in this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-t_FSSC-ixK8.html I'll also be collecting all these journal entries here: thomasjfrank.com/my-1-rule-journal/

Method to choose the important: After reading GTD and The power of simplicity: Choose 3 main projects (personal and work, 3 un total) - First thing for me: Rutins that mantain your body and mind ready to work. - Second: Your next step in your on of projects (important). - Third: An urgent task (not important) The MOST IMPORTANT TASK should be just 3 things to accomplish during the day (next steps+ urgents). After that easy things. Write It down where You can see It all the time. No mobile, you are tempted to distract. That is It. I hope It helps!! Great vídeo!!

@woodrowmorrison7951 4 года назад

Something that works so well for me and can be added to all these systems. If something pops into your head you want to procrastinate on, write it down in a todoist list called "rewards". Use that to motivate you by using the pomodoro method and do a "reward" during your 5 min break. For me this is often amazon shopping or getting a cup of tea or snack or chatting with someone. This works by using your dopamine response to motivate you, and create strong habits. Reducing alcohol use has also has increased motivation and helped manage habitual behaviours which are especially sticky in our home environment, I've found.

@ValentinaBrega 3 года назад

That was awesome! I agree with you. A lot of people are waiting for motivation to start working, but we don't really need to be motivated to follow a plan. However, when I AM motivated, I leverage that time to develop the vision for my projects or make plans. I use checklists for every day in my work - I know exactly what I need to accomplish each day of the week to keep a pulse on my personal and professional life. And then I just follow the lists. Martin's Kitchen System sounds very interesting too.

@marcushall6457 4 года назад

Hello Thomas. I want to start off by saying that I'm a huge fan! I've been watching your videos for some time now and you've helped me learn so much about productivity. I didn't even know there was a school of thought about productivity science until I came across your channel. Request: Can you do a video about managing cognitive load while working from home. I have a strong processing speed and I find myself getting super tired (i.e., mentally exhausted by the end of the day). I'm an instructional designer, and this is a new role for me. It involves so much from visual and graphic design, to planning course material with subject matter experts, and more. I'm finding myself getting distracted, taking more frequent breaks just to get through some of the monotony. What can I do to manage my cognitive load during the working day so that I can be better at my role?
