I think that in video where i don't really know what to expect you should really add timestamps. That helps a great deal rewatching certain bits and general navigation. Many creators have started to apply this in their videos as youtube has also started supporting it natively This is my very first and sincere suggestion.

"Why not" is more about exploring new opportunities and "What if" is like overthinking

Remember: Oftentimes, you need a more direct plan; a checklist, if you will. Tell yourself: I’ll accomplish this, then this, then this. Often times people go too broad, and then get overwhelmed. It’s much harder to get overwhelmed when everything is one step at a time.

You can now use ChatGPT to create this list for you

I would like to add 4 questions you can ask yourself when trying to determine the best action to take (sort of like a more organized what-if analysis). I first discovered these questions while reading Dr. Ben Carson's book "Take the Risk", which I highly recommend. 1. What is the best possible outcome if action is chosen 2. What is the best possible outcome if action is not chosen 3. What is the worst possible outcome if action is chosen 4. What is the worst possible outcome if action is not chosen Once you have answers to these 4 simple questions, it often becomes clear what the best alternative is.

Thomas, thank you so much for THIS!!! Many of us think tactically, but not enough of us think more STRATEGICALLY!!

@Shadesof

Mike and Matty yes ! That would be great idea

What I find difficult is acting on the plan. Is there a stage where there is too much planning and not enough action? Is it easier to plan once you’ve already reached success? I think most people have an uncertainty about their plan which leads to inaction. That uncertainty is also coupled with fear. Attacking those 2 areas of ones plan to change or accomplish something, I feel is necessary to then really take advantage of planning.

oh yes definitely, sometimes i put things off because i don’t have a direct plan, so, i keep on planning. But eventually it turns into a “i can’t do this without the plan being perfect” when in fact you already have to tools to act. done is better then being perfect.

This answer is probably incomplete, but I find that setting deadlines for myself helps me to strike that balance between planning and action. I know I can always course-correct along the way, so it's useful to make the best plan I can in a short amount of time, and then to use a deadline as a way to spur myself to get things done.

To reiterate what Dee said it is much better to decide/act then to wait until everything is aligned perfectly. By the time everything is 💯 aligned the window of opportunity may have closed.

It's crazy how much value you provide. I'm not just talking about this video in particular but through all your work you inspire me so much. Thank you.

I've been a long time follower and subscriber for this channel, ever since my final year in sixth form at School. There are just a plethora of videos on here that are just extremely relatable to my life and I always try to implement at least something from one of your videos Thomas! The concept of thinking of strategically has always been my biggest aspiration, but finding a way to integrate with a machine mind has always been a challenge. PS, thanks for the template; I've tried to build myself a similar one for years! Also I've downloaded Notion and I look forward to giving it a go!

It's just amazing how your video production skills have sky-rocketed since I first started watching your channel years ago. Congratulations on the awesome work, Tom!

Awesome video, as always. Thank you for keeping us sane and interested during quarantine.

A major advancement in my bullet journaling was adding an anticipation entry for each calendar item. For example, when I had a doctor's appointment, I would enter what I expected to change after I attended that appointment. I also added space for anticipating events or changes in conditions that were outside conventional calendar items. Turns out, I became far better at predicting the course of my future, particularly in the short term.

Another awesome video Frank! Am always looking for ways to be a strategic thinker. I appreciate your commitment to help people live better lives. Have an amazing week!

Wow your videos is so aesthetically pleasing, both the studio and the cuts! Really good job, your new style is next level!

So grateful for this channel, bless you Thomas.

Great video! Love the setting & lighting. Keep it up!

"What-if" is a great technique but another one you can use is "what can I" where you then think about what you can think, feel or do about a situation to improve your desired outcome

Thank you for the template!

Incredible content per usual. You're like me if I actually acted on all of the things I wanted to do. Thanks for the videos!

I hit my block limit about a week ago or so! I was just about to give up on Notion but I'm really glad this change was implemented when it did. I'm excited to keep using it :)

Love your channel Thomas! You’ve really inspired me to start my own. Keep up all your amazing content! 🌟💪🏼❤️

I am into the idea of achieving more, master many things, and you've been my ideal inspration since ur channel was around 200k. hopefully people would dig more to your stuff. Cheers from indonesia

love the effort you're putting into these videos

Shout out from Paraguay Frank!! It's always awesome to follow your advice 🤙🏻🤙🏻

Was just thinking about this when you posted this video. Talk about timing!

This is so genius I can’t wait to try this out!!! I love your channel so much

Enjoyed this video. Thank you for the invaluable education!

Loved the video, but I gotta say: I've never been as happy/excited by an ad so much before Really wanted to use notion, but it wasn't free, until I learnt it today

Thank you Thomas! wonderful video

Thank you so much. Amazing♥️ loved it

As a developer, it's nice to see the "what if" thinking model. It's something we must practice all the time as things never work the way you've intended.

Thanks for the good news. I always wanted to try Notion.

I read your book 10 steps for... And it's awesome I started to digest all the info you described you deserve more than just likes and subscriptions

Hell yes. Finally notion is free!!! I love you thomas :) keep the work up!! Greetings from germany

So early. Thanks for your work Thomas!

Thank you this is really helpful !

Too good and helpful for mental health. Glad to watch this video.

I would really like to see him look at his early videos and talk about where he made changes and how he grew to get to the stage he’s at now. Because I think he has grown, like we all do to reach success, and him seeing his progress would be interesting

Thank you for providing this information.

This was pretty interesting topic and was actually practising in my financial side of my life but I used to do the calculations by paper and not using excel, I'm going to go ahead and get better at excel so I can make my own version but for now I'll try out your template and also thanks for the notion going to check that out right now. Thank you again

This is insanely strategic and worth more implementing!

Great content, very thought provoking.

Believe or not, I actually found your channel because I was looking for some encouraging message on KZread and I saw your video on how to bounce back from failure. That really helped me and I'll make sure to check out more of your content.

im so glad this video came to me now. A year ago I would've skipped this. Def subscribing this is very valuable info!

1:23 best scene of the video LOL. Anywaay thank you SO MUCH for the budget modeler template !!

Waaaooooo. I have watching your videos of notion and productivity for a month now, and I swear....I am a fan of your's.

Thanks for this video

The most eye opening video of 2020 in my opinion!

Notion is like the best thing ever xD I've been using it for over 4 months and I'll simply say, it's worth it.

Thanks I need this video.

Really interesting video! Thanks :)

I really appreciate your book recommendations

Love your outfit! It’s all in the details!

Thanku this is really helpful.

Best strategic move of the video, the outfit. Great video, Thomas.

Thomas, I would love it if you made video going into more detail about how to build such a spreadsheet. Much of it doesn't make sense to me as a UK citizen. But if you could detail how to go about building one, i.e. the series of considerations you had that gave rise to this behemoth - that would be a godsend I reckon.

Amazing video!

The best thing that happened to me this year is notion going free. That saved my productivity space for real!

For some time that I've been using Excel to help me, not only track expenses, but to make predictions and analysis on purchases, investments and so on. It's really useful but, sometimes, it might get a bit too much and you loose track of everything. The biggest challenge is to have all the information we need but not so many information that it makes our understanding of it too difficult. Great video!

Hey man, thank you so much for sharing that budget modeler.

Prduction value is so dope!

Thank you THOMAS! I just recently lost my job due to the pandemic! Since then, I’ve launched a KZread channel on Personal Development… And it is GROWING!! Thank you for all of your work, and to everyone else… Never give up!!!

As a person that uses strategy and thinks ahead. there is a lot more than "what if" and a lot of this are done subconsciously, most people don''t talk about it because they don't realize it. But as you said, this "what if" can be simple or complex ( slightly off topic but I came back from this channel for more tips )

I downloaded notion and it has honestly been a game changer

Thanks from algeria 💚❤️🇩🇿

Can you do a follow-up video, please? I needed more details on the specifics, oh, and more examples.

Thanks. Nice insights (especially for me, as a coder where planning and doing are tighly coupled). But man that shirt seems tight :)

1 minute in and this is already beautiful

I was hoping you could make a video on "Starting Over" and how to tackle it. Like perhaps if you feel a dream has expired or a task does not seem doable the way you originally imagined. How would go from there?

Hey can you make a similar notion template as well for how you manage and timeline work tasks or study tasks ( besides the cornell note taking system which i love) but it would be amazing if you make one too PLEASEEEE

Hello, I thank you for this video. I wonder where did you learn to create such spreadsheets?

Let us all take a moment and appreciate the production quality of this channel. The shots, music, sound quality, and contents are all perfect! easily one of the best channel in KZread.

*Like with anything, it takes practice and it’s definitely true to be strategic than just merely winging it if u want to get results* 🙏

Who else gets excited when they see the notification that Thomas has posted a video? 🙈

Hey Thomas! Love your videos and I think more people should see this one so here are my thoughts on it 1) simplifying the title to something like STRATEGIZE YOUR LIFE might attract more viewers 2) the thumbnail had all similar brownish colors, that’s why it didn’t catch my eye. Could be helpful to have more contrast/ more of a black and white scheme or so 3) I personally would love some key messages in text form and less b-roll clips. Just wanted to put my opinion out there in case you’re looking for feedback! Other than that, this video is so beautifully designed, amazing!

Loved the video Thomas! The real question is which Excel spreadsheet did you use to look that dapper? 😂
