"having loads to do" is so true! Im finishing my masters degree and in my first year i didn't have a part time job and i was often lazy and leaving stuff to the last minute, but in my second year i got a job and am working anywhere up to 5 days a week and i haven't been more productive in a long time! Having something else you know you need to do forces you to be more productive on all tasks i think.
Yep definitely. If I manage it right, it also makes me FEEL better, I think!
The idea of 'having loads to do' resonated with me so much. Often think there's something up with me when I'm flip-flopping between hobbies/projects, so it's nice to know it's not just me.
'Keeping sleep simple' is great as well. I don't know when people became obsessed with everything being data that has to be linked to your phone, instead of "I'm tired - better go sleep".
I'm glad this made sense! Something I find in particular is that if I have a writing project and an editing project on, I'll get bored of one but be in the mood for another.
And I agree on sleep! There's a lot of financial incentive for people to make stuff complicated (and I'm lucky that I've never REALLY struggled with sleep), but I really don't think it needs to be too in the weeds.
Kicked my c addiction and been sober for a month rn i felt a new awakening in productivity in my life. All aspects improved so when i saw this video in my feed i thought what could i possibly learn from this anymore. Boy was i wrong. Thank you so much for your efforts. Much love from germany.
Much love back to you, my friend! Please keep it up, and drop me a line if there's anything you'd like to see me cover.
What’s c addiction?

One small thing at a time, my friend. The smaller the better!
Tap into that self hatred for self motivation. That’s what helped me to get to self love.
Thanks for sharing. Keep hope alive. You can get out of that zone.
Thank you, these tips were helpful
Just found your channel, subscribed immediately. Great content and high quality video. Looking forward to watching more!
Amazing! Great to have you on board, Dave. Shout if there's anything you'd like to see me cover.
I benefitted from this. Thank you!
Love the simplicity and naturalness of this advice. You explain clear and non-imposing goals and frame them by their positives.
I just have to remember to keep framing things like this, instead of habitually transforming my joy-bringers into tension-based to-dos.
Thank you, Craig - trying to keep it less prescriptive and more positive, glad it's working
Great video!
Looking good Joel!
Thank you!
This was very informative. Will definitely try it out.
Nice!
Awesome video, thank you man! 👏
Thanks for letting me know! Glad it was helpful
I do this trick to go to sleep way faster that is to blink my eyes very fast for 1 minute. I'll be out cold
Never heard of the Hemingway trick. Gonna give that a try!
that was a really great and punchy video. I love taking advice from a practitioner who has synthesized the information and has personal experience with it instead of someone standing on a soapbox and professing impossible ideals. Nice one
Thanks, J.J. I'm still working on a lot of this stuff, but it actually helps me out to document what's working for me
Great to see you’re still going strong with this channel mate 💪
Nice to hear from you, Callum!
great video, thanks for sharing.
Thanks man! Glad you enjoyed it
Absolutely amazing. Enjoyed every second of this video. Thanks for sharing :))
I'm so pleased to hear this, thanks for the comment!
From same town as Jagger? Same accent. Great content! And coincidentally I'm re-reading The Organized Mind right now.
Haha where is Jagger from? I was born near Manchester, raised in York, then bounced around all over England. Thanks for the comment!
@@JoelSnape1I am going to live in York for a year. It is a wonderful place.
when you have kids...everthing is changing
I've got a kid! It does make things tougher, I agree
Great video lots of good food for thought. I was wondering if you could clarify something, you said you write everything down - what exactly do you mean? Like a list or an entry of some kind and do you mean everything you do or just a general list. Sorry if I am overthinking what you meant.
Sorry, yeah - I didn't clarify this very well. What I mean is that on my work projects and hobbies, I keep track of where I'm at and what my day to day plan is, so that I don't have to waste any brain-time on going 'Oh what was I supposed to be doing here' and it's easy to just jump in. So eg for work I have a spreadsheet of the newsletters and videos I have planned, and what the next steps are for each (eg finish the script, film the video, research one thing etc) and for hobbies I have the things I'm trying to improve at (each at BJJ it's leglocks right now, so the next thing is to watch a bit of leglock instructional and take notes every night)
"When you'll quit every ideas about progress, you will find out what the real progress is." (Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj)
The Organised Mind is a great book!
It really is, I could do a whole video on it
I've also never really had problems falling asleep due to exposure to screens just before bed (and god knows I still do that a lot lol). I don't know how much this affects my sleep on the biological level, but as far as feeling like you've got a restful sleep and feeling good the next day, I've noticed it mostly comes down to all my other habits throughout the day (as well as my mental state) rather than the sleep itself.
In other words, as long as I get 7-8 hours of sleep I'll be good to go as long as I've kept up some healthy routines the day before. And the same goes for falling asleep - my mental state has probably been the biggest factor in how easily I fall asleep (which, if this is indeed the case, this could be an alternative potential explanation as to why people have trouble falling asleep after doom scrolling in bed... 😉👀)
what are the most important daytime habits for you that affect your sleep? :)
@@timon844 Hard to say since I don't really optimize my sleep (if anything, I'm probably disturbing it), instead I just try to optimize my day and a good sleep follows. I don't know if it's because I feel more accomplished and less like I've wasted my day, but I can't remember a time when I've just had a decent day but slept badly afterwards, and I can definitely remember the opposite when I've spent a day distracting myself.
And in terms of optimizing a day - just doing something healthy for yourself (movement, exercise - I don't always like going out for a walk, but I ALWAYS feel much better when I do). Having some productivity system in place to get stuff done, learning things, having hobbies, learning languages, etc. Less/no social media.
I don't go super deep into productivity but I like learning new things however I can and always feel pretty good after that. Mindfulness is also a big one, regular meditation and taking things more slowly and being aware as much as you can. All that helps with alleviating stress and giving a purpose to what you do which are all good for you 👍
If we had the chance to shape a private community with Joel, what would you want it to include? Let's share our wishlist!

It doesn’t matter how much sleep you get once ai knows you’re not following the sponsored agenda. They make sure you’re set up to lose.
Excellent counterbalance to the prevailing wisdom!
Thank you! What resonated most, if you don't mind me asking?
@@JoelSnape1
The playful practice. I've often found that practice is unsustainable particularly with an instrument like violin if done in a regimented way. It's better to approach sections as if you are simply trying to extract the most resonant sound out of every note by toying with the contour rather note for note. I also find practicing in micro-bursts more fun.
Proper keto keeps you fully energetic.
I wish I could try it, but I simply love bread too much.
@@JoelSnape1 I can't blame you, they are made addictive because our collective food sources have made us sugar dependant.
Agree to the point that I couldn't get to sleep after being up for 18 hours. Added carbs to get to sleep.
Yay eco jiujitsu 🎉
One day I'm gonna find an excuse to interview Greg Souders
I never tap anyone who's better than me because I'm the best at the gym (just kidding, my personal victories on the mats is not getting injured at the end of the day!)
Haha, I still get tapped a fair bit (because I make sure I go with the toughest people, but also because I put myself in bad spots)! If I learn something, that's a win for me.
@@JoelSnape1 Me too. I train with monsters, there's no such a thing as a day not being tapped :p
You need to experience progress to be more productive
Get small wins as frequently as possible.
Working without distractions
Yep yep!
You should work on your dips
bo'oh'o'wa'er
You can always just turn the subtitles on, my man 😅
