Just wanna say - I want more ❤️
hey have you read Dr. B. R. Ambeedkar

*“My goal is no longer to get more done, but rather to have less to do.” - Francine Jay*
What a perfect quote to capture my sentiment. Thank you for sharing!
Damn that's good
Captured my mind too. Thanks for sharing!!
i love this!
So thankful for some of the cultural shift away from "hustle harder" culture that used to dominate everywhere. This video and leisure as fuel is so much healthier. It's not a matter of wanting to be less productive but rather prioritizing health in all forms above working ourselves into the grave.
Beautiful video!
Absolutely. Put in quality, whether work or leisure, and be intentional about what you do.
"Leisure is fuel" is a great saying!
"leisure is fuel." I love this. I'm going to put it on a t-shirt.
Do it!
This was awesome bruh I'm learning lot of new things and insights from your content as an artist also make a video on branding and logo design !
That's wonderful to hear!
this is so great
Thanks Ali. I know you of all people would appreciate it.
It’s 3am and I am benge watching all of your videos. You are now one of my favorite youtubers. I love your visuals and storytelling. I’m a videographer in Louisiana and is inspired so much by your content. You’ve gained a faithful follower. 😊
Thank you Miss Jae!
Funny that all my distractions kept me from watching this, even though I saw the notification weeks ago. Luckily, CZcams’s algorithm bumped it to the top again. 😅
For me, #1 cause to not getting work done- distractions! They are everywherreeee. The days I turn on Focus mode, and avoid checking news - I feel super productive.
Thanks so much Matt, please keep up the awesome work. I would love if you explored the energy aspects of modern work/life balance. Given that a majority of people may WFH permanently - finding the time to refuel, being in right mindset, finding new passions/hobbies- I think these may need to be inspired from outside our homes, particularly for those in apartments. Food for thought. 🙂
Thanks for the thoughtful feedback
So many good tips and beautifully shot video!
Thanks Derek. Good to see you here. Happy holidays friend!
This is exactly what I needed to see and hear going into 2022. The last few months of 2021 were an unorganized blur and I wasn’t looking forward to jumping back into that mess after the holidays. But after some downtime I’ve been able to recharge and now I’m excited to put your suggestions into practice.
Also, the video was shot extremely well as always and excellent choice on the Keychron K7 👀
Thanks for the kind words. Have a happy new year.
I'm frequently guilty of playing my videos at 1.5 or 2x speed, trying to cram as much content consumption as I can in my viewing. However, your videos always force me to slow down, contemplate and consider my sense of urgency. As I reached the end of this video, I felt...calm? Or just sort of quieter in my own mind. It's hard to describe, but it's similar to the feeling I get after I've been in a period of flow and deep work.
It's engaging content that asks of me to be more intentional with my time, and because of that, you received a new subscriber.
I appreciate that and thanks for sharing the insight.
As a Christian creative, daily time with Jesus in the morning helps center me to start the day. That sets the tone, helping me move throughout the day with Him on my mind. This fuels my creativity, as I seek to pour truth, grace and beauty in to my work for the glory of God and the good of my fellow human.
I love the phrase "work less. " It shifts the dynamic completely; allowing one to assess if a task is truly meaningful, and whether or not you're taking the optimized steps within the time frame given. Love it!
🙏🏽
At this stage in my life having a a crazy schedule running an indie studio, trying to stay green with learning, finding time for hobbies, raising two children, and trying to stay sane...I can attest to need to disconnect and do mindless things. It's not just valuable, it's necessary. Excellent video as always Matthew.
Sounds like a lot to juggle, but you're doing it. Cheers
"No boundaries between work and home."
That's 100 percent true, man.
Video taking, Editing, Voice, everything is so soothing.
Sometimes I wish your videos would never end. It's a different kind of therapy 🌻
☀
This video is so timely. I’ve been struggling with the same things you mentioned in the beginning of the video. So much value packed in one video and also shot so well. Thanks for all the hard work you put into this Matthew!
Thanks Edward. We got this. 💪🏽
Every time I hear someone say the internet is all just junk I think of this channel and the level of quality you provide, it is truly inspiring!
That means a lot. Thanks for the kind words.
I can’t wait to use the productivity tips in my life! 💫 Keep rising to be who you want to be! 💫 #keeprising #risingtobe #aswerise #riser
Cheers
Dude, I love this video. I started reading Essentialism because of you and I can already connect what you're saying in this video to that book. It's truly amazing to see how little changes can have massive impact, and you're a living and breathing example of it.
Looking forward to more of your content in the future. Cheers to a new year soon!
Cheers. it's a great book!
This was awesome Matthew! I've definitely been learning this from a lot of the books I've read this year (Deep Work and others). Thanks!
What other books do you recommend?
I'm a software engineer, and I find your video really helpful for what I'm struggling with the past 2 years 🐕
🐕
"...there are no boundaries between work and home which lead to overworking or never working."
Wow this hit me hard. Thanks for this great upload yet again!
This was amazing Matt!
Thanks Carlo. Happy new year!
Beautiful video with beautiful insights. Thanks for the tips Matt 🍵
Thanks Mayuko. Great to see you here.
Why in the hell do I get so excited that you dropped a new video? I thought my coffee was good this morning. Gosh, your videos must be that good. Great video Matt!
🙏🏽
Hidden among other stuff on his channel, this man has some of the best productivity advice (for creators) available on CZcams today. Beautifully shot and narrated, it's looks and feels...pretty timeless.
Appreciate the kind words
I am determined to get distractions out of my life during the work day. Your tips are very helpful. Small timer and shutting off notifications are going to be the first changes I make to my routine. Great video as always.
👌🏽
Man these videos are so good. I’ve been struggling with motivation as a recent college grad. I’ve been getting many rejections from software companies because competition is very strong, but this video gave me a boost to start managing my time again and keep working and improving to hopefully land something soon.
Keep going. You'll get to where you need to be.
Love how it’s concise and compact. The video had an hour of knowledge in about 10 mins
👌🏽
One of the most inspirational videos I've watched as a working individual.
Cheers
Thank you Matt, for such a wonderful, valueable content. This helped me be more productive by doing less and make time for myself. Especially now as I commit being a full-time freelancer. Thanks again buddy!
You're welcome Eyel!
i need matthew encina to record reading books. his voice is so soothing. for chill learning, or bed time stories :D
=)
a great reminder for me on how to stay creative and productive
Matthew, such a great video! I love the helpful ideas and your peaceful delivery of them against the beautiful Santa Monica backdrop. So excited that you have found your rhythm and are gracefully moving towards your goals. My favorites insights were: 1) Your environment can support your focus. This is a Feng Shui principle that some people overlook. 2) Distance = perspective. As you so aptly state, giving your brain space helps connect the dots and illuminates the bigger picture 3) Knowing your body and it's cycles of energy. This definitely supports me in not scheduling sessions late in the afternoon when my energy is low. I have a tip for balancing working from home so they don't blend ;-) KIDS! I focus on them until I get them off to school, then shift the focus to me. I prioritize exercise, then I work fairly intensely with clients from 10am-4pm when my KIDS get home. I take eating and mindful Matcha latte breaks in between -- but after they are home, I shift my focus back to them. If there's an extra project I need to focus on, I use the weekends b/c I don't feel burned out from the week. So, kids are a great and supportive boundary! LOL. Love you and love the work you are doing, Matthew. Fantastic.
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing your insights and helping to give me some perspective in my own journey.
Really great bonus tips in regards to family 👌🏽
Hope you’re well. We need to catch up!
Now add kids to the mix...
Happy Holidays Matthew! Amazing video and inspiring tips, and especially loved the diversity in shots in this one! 📸
Thanks Maisy. Happy Holidays!
At this point this videos are my therapy sessions
=)
Been struggling with being unproductive for a while and I always rewatch your previous videos for inspiration and whenever I'm out of track. I'm not working for a week now due to some tragedy and probably start over again soon with new routine, organization and management but the good thing is one of my heroes uploaded a video about this, wow thanks.
You're welcome. Take it easy. Take it slow.
Man i feel so motivated each and everytime matthew upload a video people like you keep me going bro thanks man🙏🏽
Cheers
Such an amazing video Matthew! Your voice and the way you explain your thoughts are always so calm and measured, very relaxing thank you! ✌️
Glad you enjoyed. Great to see you here Dansky. Hope you're well!
I watch this every few months to realign my productivity. Super helpful! Thanks Matthew!
👌🏽
Some of our hobbies are fun but mentally draining. Thanks for reminding us to clear our minds to recharge and gain a fresh perspective.
Thank you Matthew Encinas
I love your content! It's the perfect balance of creativity and productivity which are both really important to me. Your videos inspire me to get things done, to make over my home, write my bachelors thesis or to improve my own CZcams channel. It's amazing, thanks for the awesome content and keep on with the great work!
Thank you. 🙏🏽 Constantly balancing and fine-tuning over here.
Love this content, taking note on the tips to improve my productivity.
Golden advice, Matthew. Improving my productivity is something I've been working on in the last months. Happy to see some of the steps I've taken mentioned here. It's a good sign that I'm making the right choices, but still have a lot more to learn. Thank you!
Cheers
I really appreciate the unhurried, contemplative tone of your videos. It is a welcome change from a lot of the more manic content I often find myself surrounded by and it makes it much easier to focus on what you are actually saying. Thanks! 🐕
You're welcome. Glad I can find other who can appreciate a slower, natural pace.
What an amazing content on youtube!! A big fanboy from far away.
recently i’ve been struggling with staying focused, and your videos have been extremely helpful. thank you
You’re welcome
Thank you so much, Matthew. This is exactly what I needed. As always, you inspire me to become a better self! Appreciate your work 🐕
🐕
Productivity has been such a struggle for me and it’s become especially highlighted after starting a CZcams channel. The amount of time and tasks required has been eye-opening to say the least 😅 I can always use a reminder to slow down. Awesome video man!
Thanks. Running a CZcams channel can be its own multi-headed beast.
Growing up we had this notion that people who stand top of the class spend 8 hours or more studying and in most cases it was true however there was this one teacher who told me differently.. the message I got was it does not matter how long you are with the books but what you do when you are in front of them makes the difference … simple , sensible and obvious … this video sort of brought that message back in a more resounding way ! Thank you!
What a great teacher. What I learned from Jim Kwik, knowledge is only potential power. It’s what you do with it that matters.
Well done man. I will say for myself, I find that when I focus too much on planning my day/how I do things. I get lost in the actual routine and not in the work that I'm doing. I guess I just need to optimize the routine that works for me so I don't have to think about it. I always get so stressed out when I start a routine and then inevitably break it because of my ADHD. Then again, everyone is different. I have to spend time meditating and giving myself space to get into deep work. Respect for putting yourself out there and helping others, Matthew! Much love
I like to plan ahead as well, and can understand how that can get in the way from the actual work. These days I'm a lot more loose with my schedule, and have found a good groove with the tips I've shared. Hope you find your focus.
This hits home. Feeling the same about my productivity and procrastination. Thanks for this
Again, this is the top video telling us how to WFH and I like the concept 'Listen to your body'. Thank you, Matthew!
👌🏽
Love the transparency here! Thanks for the great content as usual Matthew!
You're welcome
Always great seeing your content man!
Hussain glad to see you here!
This is exactly what I needed, Your video on your office with the mixing deck under the desk really helped with my bedroom redecorating that I’m currently doing, I have yet to watch this video but it looks like it’s going to be amazing. Thanks.
Nice
this video was so helpful, I couldn't seem to focus at all the other day but after a while I sat down and saw this, and it really helped me focus and zero down on work. thank you!!!
Glad it helped
This has been such a treat to watch. Very good tips that I needed to know/refresh my mind but the aesthetics of the video makes it so relaxing. You inspire me a lot! Thank you Matthew!
🙏🏽
Excellent video Matthew! Great pointers here for everyone! Trying to automate some of the business side of work is something I need to look into.
Thanks Bao. HMU if I can ever help. Cheers
Great reminders for 2022. Thanks, Matt! Have a happy new year!
Thanks Gelo HNY
Fantastic video. Well done. Thanks for all the hard work you put into this.
Thanks
Definitely one of the best videos so far! Thank you, Matthew 🙏🏻🤟🏻
Thank you!
I can view this n number of times to boost myself to change slowly everyday.
Thanks Matthew!
👌🏽
Loving your videos for so many reasons, nuggets of truth, knowledge and tips of wellbeing. 🐕
Thank you 🐕
It's really nice to end the year with one of your great and insightful videos! :)
Awesome! Definitely NEED to try these tips! Thank you for sharing.
You’re welcome
Man. It’s small details but I’m so fired up to try this. I think I was not setting boundaries and allowing people and things to invade my space regardless of where I was at productive wise. Thanks Matthew.
Wish you the best
This video just gave me life! 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿 Thank you!! So many golden nuggets here!
Cheers
Your videos never fail to inspire! Great Work Mattew!
Cheers
Let's goo a new Matthew video! Saw the Instagram story and stayed up late for this!!
I appreciate that!
I was waiting for your videos @Encina, it is very inspiring. Appreciate you greatly.
Thanks
these videos are actually insane i was always distracted watching these videos and i can safely say this is the first time I have watched one of your videos with no distraction at all these videos are so well put totgether and super easy to grasp
I'm glad. Put that focus to use.
Some of our hobbies are fun but mentally draining. Thanks for sharing that clearing the mind helps.
Great job breaking down what’s essential for work and life balance. This video was very insightful for me to try to get rid of distractions to get quality work done and quality time for myself! Thanks Matthew!
You're welcome.
Really like your content and can totally relate to some of the things which I struggle too and glad that I am not the only one. One which really motivated me was "Listen to your body". I have always been told "early to bed and early to rise" since my childhood but have found out that I best work and am more productive at night between 10PM-1AM. I will try to listen to my body now as adjust my schedule accordingly.
Let me know how it goes!
Oh man, I tried the timer method when I was lesson planning tonight. Most productive 3 hours ever. Loved it, thanks for the content, your videos are awesome.
Awesome! Congrats!
Having just moved to New York about a month ago, I lost a lot of the productivity that I once had. This video was just what I needed, not only to regain what I was, but to become even better. Thank you always for your videos, Matthew!
Thanks for the thoughtful responses, always.
@@MatthewEncina you’re very welcome!
Loved the first 90 seconds of this video! Great kick off

Always happy to see you upload!!!
Thanks Sam.
Hey Matthew, thanks for making this. Yes these things are easy at first to do the work from home. Boundaries seems to be easy and still normal. But aftertime it is strting to get blur so like what you've said, over worked or never worked. This is trully inspirational and sync with my personal lifetime situation right now. Once again, thanks!
You're welcome.
Less than 1 minute in and I am hooked.
You just got another subscriber Matthew.
🙏🏽
Thank you for wonderfull video Matthew!
You're welcome
thank you for your advices!
You’re welcome
This is right on time, Matthew! Gonna take time away from these logo drafts I've been staring at for hours and go for a nice short drive to take a break. I bet this will help me come back and finish up the options :-) Thank you for all that you do and share.
Take a break. You deserve (need) it.
This was a fantastic video.
Learned many many things from it.
Great stuff man!! Love your channel 💯
Thanks
Matthew delivering the goods once more! Thank you!
You're welcome.
