    I used to struggle with the clean home until I saw a quote and it completely changed my view, the quote: a home should be clean enough to be healthy, but messy enough to have been lived in. We were constantly tidying after our kids to keep the house looking like a show home as opposed to our home. Ps thank you for the videos, I've stubbled across your channel and really like the videos and the formats.

    I am a 55 yo woman who always tries to save money by doing part of the work, before workman get here. Mostly moving furniture and light demo, like flooring removal. We just got new carpet. I did move the furniture myself, but this time I decided I’m not doing carpet removal because it would take me extra days to do. Then I would have to haul it away and pay somewhere to take it, because you can’t throw it in the trash. I asked the carpet company to give me a breakdown of how much the removal and take away was and it came out to $175, 😊which to me was worth having the work done by them for pay.

    Putting a time limit on my research/comparisons helps me avoid time sucks and analysis paralysis. For example, when I homeschooled 3 kids K-12 sometimes a curriculum in a particular subject wasn't working for a specific kid and I needed to replace or supplement it. It's easy to get sucked in exploring every possibility that exists, but instead I gave myself a certain amount of time (I can choose hours, days, weeks, months, or whatever) to do the research/comparisons and when the time's up, I choose from only the things I actually had time to look into. Prices, products, services, approaches, techniques, systems, etc. can all be compared this way. Goals and actions that help me reach them can be thought of in terms of whole and parts. Generally speaking, destinations, philosophies, motivations, and such can be though of as the whole, while techniques, actions, schedules, practices, tasks, routes, modes, priorities, and the like can be thought of as parts. The parts make up the whole. For example, getting in shape is the whole that is made up of parts like nutrition, portion control, and exercise. So when you're stuck it can sometimes helps to analyze what you need to focus more on, specific parts or a clearer whole.

    Many interesting points and I definitely agree with some. The second tip ("Stop saying yes") doesn't really resonate with me however. I have found that life offers super-interesting paths and experiences if you allow yourself to be spontaneous and say "yes" on the spot without giving too much thought to it or checking your calendar. At least in my case, saying "yes" has blessed me with fantastic friends, unique experiences and overall a much richer life. So my advice: manage your time of course, but make sure you still allow yourself to be spontaneous ... and say 'yes' more often than you say 'no' or 'maybe' 🙂

    Agree on this. Sometimes always saying NO is selfishness coz sometimes u need to learn human adaptation or adjustment, or sometimes it may not be valuable or significant to u but it is for other people and bringing joy to other people. If u feel bad of what is to come, then say NO

There's a balance that's sometimes hard to achieve but I have found living according to : "do nothing out of selfish ambition but in humility, value others above yourselves" to be more fulfilling.

    Totally agree. Saying 'no' has been the default for me for most of my life, so learning to say 'yes' instead has helped me leave my comfort zone and have some of those positive experiences you've mentioned. However, I also know people who say 'yes' to everything, and find their life just absolutely filled with projects they're constantly working on for other people, and learning when to say 'no' would make a pretty big difference for them in having more time for things that are important to them. Seems like everything in the world requires a balance.

    I agree with limiting the people that can call you, very little social media and actually taking a step back from constantly learning all the time or working. When I was working for 7 days a week every week for like 6 months I realized I was making pretty good money, but basically was a recluse who ignored friends, family and even my own health. Some of these productivity gurus on here act like working all the time is good, but seriously I look at a lot of these folks and they seem like they don't have any life at all outside their media they create. Taking time to destress and enjoy life should be on everyones list at some point during the week

    I always love your videos, Gabe. Systems over goals resonated with me. My only gripe: Grammarly. I know it's your sponsor, but as a grammar and literature teacher, I'd like to puke on Grammarly. These aren't skills that are foreign to any of us. We learned them in school. We have just lost the practice in using them and have allowed ourselves to buy into the myth that we can't learn to spell or to apply the rules of our own language. It's no different than learning anything else. It takes effort. Grammarly isn't making us bette writers; it's convincing us that we're something we aren't.
