💰 I'm fortunate enough to work with great sponsors who support my work, so I don't use Patreon or any other crowdfunding service. However, if you'd like to support a worthy cause, consider donating to help more children get access to a high-quality education: fundraise.pencilsofpromise.or...
Hope y'all find this one useful! I used my video production process as an example in the video, but you can apply batching to practically anything. For another - when I process my email, I like to Star messages I'm need to reply to, then come back to them after getting rid of everything that simply needs to be deleted or archive.
Also, if you're a content creator, definitely checkout Storyblocks! storyblocks.com/thomas - I've been using their service for years, so I'm stoked to have them as a sponsor now.
You can also check out my free Notion templates here, which can help you with tagging and batching tasks: thomasjfrank.com/templates/
This was very helpful, I am sending this to my grad school cohort. Nice work, Thomas!
Hey Thomas, How do you know at which timestamp each clip would go in your notion board? Do you have a first version of a video where you just read the script without any other footage/clips to then know where you'll place the clip or is there some other method?
@@moonportmedia we cut the talking-head footage into an "a-cut" that's roughly the length of the final video. Then we upload that to Frame.io where we can add timestamped b-roll ideas as comments. Finally we can export those as a CSV and import into Notion so we have timestamps!
@@Thomasfrank I think that you're a true champ, and I know that you don't need anyone to tell you so - to know so.
I also think that sponsors which approach you will never be wrong...
BUT - to be completely honest,
I admit that I become very suspicious of any sponsored content which so elegantly merged into the context (no pun intended) of a video.
(Ok, I'm giving you a permission to use this quote in order to achieve even more sponsorships 🙄)
While this is a legit business model, and while there's no doubt about your execution being at a top-notch level (I didn't come here to be the bait on the hook with which you'll fish more clients, but yes, you can use this phrase as well 🙄) , YET -
As a viewer, I can't deny that it leaves me with the feeling that the only true ("hidden") purpose of making these videos,
at the end of the day, is nothing but promoting the product of the sponsor that paid you.
Which begs the question..
Is any of this even authentic...(?)
Too often we just focus on climbing higher and miss all the beautiful little things that are happening in our daily lives. Be productive but remember to sometimes take moments where you just do nothing ❤Wishing you a beautiful day!
❤️📩
I agree!
Very true. Doing nothing is just as difficult as being genuinely productive. By default I mostly keep busy with distractions, in a state of both minimal productivity and awareness.
Human BEings is right. Just BE. Listen and think. Just so we don't end up with some plan that is futile or unfulfilled. Of course, do what we can today after that pause. Being productive helps much mental health problems. But not a workaholic for you can crash. Thank you for THIS!! This helps the actual blueprint of ACCOMPLISHING. celebrate every tiny victory
This is cool, I also batch my todo things by whether I can do them when my baby is awake/around or whether she is asleep/preoccupied.
I don’t like using screens around her and it’s easier to focus when I don’t have to worry about what she’s doing so I do all my studying etc when she’s asleep or being looked after by someone or (as she is getting older) when she is engrossed in playing with something on her own.
Simple chores like washing up, going to the shops, putting away clean clothes and cooking meals I can do with her and I think that has the added bonus of making sure she grows up with an understanding of what is required to look after yourself.
She’s one and a half but she likes to sit beside the washing up bowl and pass me things I ask for and this has also improved her vocabulary as she says the words “pan” and “bowl” etc herself and understands many more.
Just thought I’d add that version of batching into the mix for other parents out there 😊
Waw! That sounds beautiful. Thank you for being such a good mom for that baby of yours and still getting other things done. Is admirable. I salute you.
That's lovely and makes a lot of sense :)
As a content creator myself, batching is exceptionally and makes my admin schedule so much easier to get through- also, from another video of yours, I just write down ideas that might distract me and then implement them in other batched tasks later 💛 lovely video!
You're putting words to what I'm learning organically about my process. This is soo validating and helpful! ✊🏾
just what I needed on my birthday! I've been watching your videos for over 3 years now! you don't know how much of an inspiration you are to me!
This video is like a real life example of a few courses in industrial engineering - thanks for connecting the material to real life in such an interesting way👍
Your videos were the first thing I saw when I was searching for productivity hacks in 2017...... And I was instantly hooked...... And still I learn something new from you..... Thank you
As a content creator, content batching is so helpful. Having multiple videos I can film on one setting helps me put out more videos because I don’t have to set up and take down lighting equipment and camera all the time. Really helpful stuff here!
I loved this video. It feels applicable so I'm going to try to look at my task planning through this lens today.
Also, I love being able to review a video later, so I made timestamps to help others like me:

thanks for the timestamps :)
Another amazing video, thanks man, you're awesome❤️
batching tasks is literally the best thing ever. It's difficult to start if you have order OCD (basically meaning obsessively wanting to everything in a specific order) but once you get over the hump it's so helpful for getting things done quicker in the day.
Thanks for good advice, this will really help me!
I absolutely love your content and your video style. Thank you!
Really enjoyed this one brother!
Thank you for staying as a steady source of positivity, productivity, and inspiration.
I appreciate you.

Wonderful video.
Thank you Frank.
I get a boost of energy every time I watch your stuff. Thanks for being you!

Heard you liked B roll, so we added B roll while I talk about how I gather B roll for another video that I'm also using as B roll.
Fantastic tips, Thomas! Thank you for another great video!
Thank you Thomas.Great video!🍵
5:58 Lots of great advice in this video including practical ones like the B-Roll context tags that I'm gonna implement as well :) Thanks, Thomas and team!
This is awesome, Thomas. Great vid!
Movement isn’t productivity… skilled action is 🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️
Hey Thomas,
Taking a lil second here to tell you how grateful I am for the content you provide us. Thank you! Hope you're doing great.
❤️🤝📩
Wow! Thank you Thomas!
I'm really excited to add the criteria of high and low energy to my Notion setup... that might be the game-changer that I'm looking for.
Thomas, you are awesome!
I have been following this channel for at least 7-8 years now and I love it. It helped me get A*s on all my A-Level exams, it helped me ace my Bachelor's exams and it helped me through writing my Master's dissertation. But recently I have been struggling figuring out how to stay productive while I practically live with my boyfriend. We're both employed full-time so it's not like I have my whole time at my disposal (and energy levels are highest while at work) but there are other things that I would like to achieve outside my work (e.g. improve my Spanish and work on a couple of business ideas of my own). I really struggle on how to make any meaningful progress on them while working full time, spending quality time with him and staying in shape by going to exercise a few times a week. Help desperately needed!

A great video. Really intuitive.
Your Yt Channel is the best, thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏
Dude your videos are just so, so, so good
This was so so great, when you pay attention to all the different aspects on a single video you understand why Tom needs a team. The part of Ford blew my mind (like, Dr. Strange is a shooting star level)

This is good. First time seeing his video and I binge-watching every thing
❤️📩🤝
Thomas, you’re one of those people who inspired me to post my own youtube journey. I scaled to 6 figures in 2021 following your tips!
I was overthinking for so long but your videos really helped me to just get started, stopped procrastinating and I’m never looking back!!!
You deserve all the subs bro!!!! 💯
Great info! thanks for sharing
Under procrastination is something that needs healing, if you heal it… you won’t have the problem 🙏🏽😁🙌🏽 but these techniques do work very well!! 🙌🏽🙏🏽😁
I'm on it. I think it's a great new way to improve our productivity. Thanks.
❤️📩
Thanks for sharing this method with us and I know this is off topic but I love the plant pot in the back round loll!
Knowing what to do, where to do it, and when, can make a difference between being efficient at getting something done, or not.
Thank you!
Thanks for always being willing to share what you’ve learned with us.
Love this video! Doubled my productivity in a Week!!
It’s still zero…

*“Simplicity boils down to two steps: Identify the essential. Eliminate the rest.”*
Batching also helps with getting into the Flow state
Very interesting about things that was made without thinking about it.

thank you very much

Great Video BUT... Yeah there's a but, I can't take any Henry Ford story for today lol, read it twice in Blue Ocean Strategy, in another video too, and saw an unusual amount of Ford cars
Still love your videos , this one too is going to serve greatly thank you!
Time management is Energy Management!💯❤️
Really need to listen to this and pause again. Note taking
I like this thought process... training myself to do it, now that is another thing 😅
❤️
I've read your name in chapter 17 of Atomic Habits
Bro compliment…thats a cool shirt !
Realized I was doing this unintentionally through trial and error of making a solid daily routine.
The Contra code. I see you're a man of culture as well.
Dood, you're the sage of the Internet and Adulthood!
I love your videos I'm very curious
For more info & profitable offer❤️📩
Hey Thomas! I would love to see different content in your channel! What else have you been learning about? What lessons can you share with us on self-improvement?
I like that term “pedestrian advice”
Was following pretty well and Notion happened 😅
Change and Tom's handwriting remains constant
Random, but your lighting in this video is great! Keep it up

Teach me Senpai. League is trying to suck me away again.
Recently got my first proper office, so now I have a work computer and a gaming computer at home. Re-installed Windows on the work computer and DIDN'T install my games.
If you only have one computer, you can do the same with a work and personal account - make sure games are only on the personal account. You can also make the personal account's password ridiculously long and keep it written down somewhere so you have to go get the password anytime you want to log in.
Bottom line, make it inconvenient to game when you're working!
@@Thomasfrank Did you separate the work computer and gaming computer on different desks or rooms? I have worked hard to have a set up where I can switch from work to gaming in one click of the button (USB peripheral hub). Not sure if this affects my productivity.
@@cptkt I also have a set up like this and it definitely makes it way too easy to switch between the two! I am thinking of ways to change that in the future, possibly working in a different room or maybe just making sure my gaming PC is turned off while I am working. I like the extra long password idea!
@@cptkt entirely different buildings at this point - my office isn't in my house anymore! But in general, you can tell that you don't have enough separation if the game is still a temptation during work. At a certain point, it's so inconvenient to start it up during work time that you won't even think about it.
Realize that league is a horrible game and you don't even enjoy playing it, that's what worked for me! Also I think it's good if you can find something else that you can sink your time into in a grind-y way for that feeling of progression - maybe drawing, learning a language or a musical instrument, or even a 'real' sport.
I think we complicate our process of being productive by adding too many things that we do on a day to day basis. I've always stressed that you need to spend time keeping your tasks based on urgent and priorties.
❤️🤝📩
From a new guy that’s trying to increase there productivity this video is info taxing a lot do you have a simpler way of doing it.
“You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.” I hope you SUCCEED

oh yess baby 1st COMMENT
not a die herat fan just your video happen to be on my home screen just after u posted
but this is quite cool that u are reading my comment
well and also u should watch haikyuu!!

Hi Thomas Frank, I remember you suggesting an accountability game in which someone is within a team and must commit to paying a certain amount of money if they do not complete their task. Can you remind me of that website or reference the video in which it was mentioned?
I'll recommend a couple, since those combined features don't exist as far as I'm aware! Beeminder lets you bet money that you'll do what you say you'll do, but it's individual. Habitica is a gamified habit tracker that lets you party up with others. If you don't do your habits, their characters take damage in-game and are at risk of dying and losing gear. I used both for years; they're great!
@@Thomasfrank Habitica was the one I was looking for. Thanks very much!
Did you read that book by Dr Julie by any chance?
