The incredible power of checklists is that once you have understood how to divide a process into small and easy to perform tasks (like packing your things for a trip), you can implement it correctly and get it right every time. This divide and conquer (and save the steps) method allows you to take on bigger projects and accumulate the mastery of more and more processes with time.

I've always made "to do lists" not "checklists". I realise now there's a subtle difference. It's not about what you have to get done, it's about establishing a process (or a system) to help you get things done (those things you need to do regualrly) more efficiently. I like the idea of reflecting on your current process too and refining it. Thank you for this - I'm really hoping it'll help me.

I've also heard of the enlightenment behind "focusing on" instead of "focus on" when journaling because it's a helpful perspective shift in that the progress towards that version of "you" matters more than the end goal or item that must be done today.

Adrian I have a master to do list with appts to make, documents to send, general commitments etc. I also have a daily task list that I create every night before bed. On my app I have a master packing list, a list of who pays for breakfast next, a list of gym exercises (so I don’t forget any of my weights), a list of call backs, a list of what I need to do on my new house, important dates, places to vacation, my Netflix shows and the dates of the next season, and a few others.

Checklists also help when you're faced with a long list of things you need to work on, and it's distracting how long the list is. If you write down say just the things you want to get done that day, you can ignore the rest of it and focus on them. Then the following day, add more for that day.

Checklist is underrated. This is an effective way of executing a task of consistent quality.

Here's an interesting thought: Consider fighter pilots and surgeons. They both are a handpicked group of elite personnel doing a job few will ever do. They both spend years of schooling and training to get to where they are. They both are entrusted with incredibly expensive equipment, need other teams of highly trained professionals to support them, both hold the power of life and death in their hands, and finally they both think they are god's gift to the universe. Now all that being said there is a major difference. A fighter pilot won't touch a damn thing on her aircraft without a checklist. What makes a surgeon so special to think that he doesn't need one? Food for thought 😊

I think there's a huge downside to "checklisting" and mental offloading. I had slowly but steadily become obsessed with noting things down, creating checklists, labeling systems, organizational hierarchies to help me become more productive. I noticed that, while i looked very busy, the majority of my time was spent on managing the productivity system, instead of managing my tasks. My opinion is that you start losing the ability to remember and recall information without external aid (think checklists). Not to mention the anxiety it gives me when I start thinking if I got everything on my checklist, or when trying to be an active listener but have to pause the conversation, so that I can get an "item on my list". Checklists have good application nonetheless - when you start doing something new, then initially maintaining checklists can be useful. You don't have lots of context and information to make logical, quick and accurate decisions as to what to do next and what are the prerequisites, etc. Overtime, the experience would help you internalise the information and get past the checklists. My .02 cents.

It puts the goals you want to finish right in front of you, you just have to do it and check it off. And it feels good to check off all of the boxes, it's motivational.

This is great advice. I believe that this is why it is so important to write down goals. Not only because writing them down makes them affirmations, but it allows you to look at them each day and check off the steps towards accomplishing each one. I always use a checklist when traveling.

So I started to make a checklist. - In my own way, but it's for "things I need to do tomorrow" and I'm not sure if it's helping or feeding in to my performance anxiety. I've done it for 8 days now and it seems that I'm able to do the things I've wanted to get done - and it should tell my brain that I am good enough and I deserve to relax and play online games. I think I'm just gonna continue and see how this thing will change.

I find e readers are miles more effective than a regular book, for someone who has to read on the bus in the dark or in any other circumstance, reading on an e reader or phone is much easier, in fact, you might forget to bring your book to x place, but you probably didn’t forget your phone did you?

For your first question it depends on how well you absorb the book. For example recently on one of my audiobooks I found that I’m merely letting the words just go past my head. I hear this dude talking but not really taking time to think it through. When reading text you have more of a chance to analyze it. Both are good, and I recommend doing both at the same time. Listen to audiobooks when driving, walking, and read when you can.

of course there's no right or wrong answer, mostly depends on your own cognitive processes. premise: imho, nothing is a substitute to books. my personal take after some experimentation: 1. i found i absorb very little information with audio only. to this day i mostly use podcasts as a "just want to listen to something factual while i'm taking a walk" thing. but i found out that NOT consuming content while having my usual walk is way better to just let my mind flow free while consciously or unconsciously ruminate past or new ideas, and spark creativity. i had my best ideas during or after an old school walk. you don't have to constantly be consuming stuff. to this day, content is most of the time a marketing hook for somethink else, rarely valuable. way better to just unplug and think. maybe a digital detox is all you need instead, think about it. 2. compared to audio media, i do absorb information better by visual stimuli, even at increased speed up to 2x at times. but video content is hard to consume efficiently, and very easy to get you into binging sessions and overall "content FOMO". i'd still prefer a book. 3. a book is still my favourite medium to absorb. objectively, it's a thing that took incredible amounts of time to be crafted compared to other media and it's an actual distillate of knowledge of research and ideas on part of the author. by definition, it will always be the richest medium in terms of value, no contest, while also being the least efficient to consume. but what's the point for speed? you want comprehension and intellectual enrichment, not quantity of consumed information. also books come with the advantage that's there's no binging or "quick and dirty digital distraction" to engage in FOMO (no "shiny new object one click away", so to speak). i.e.: if you want to read the book, you have to read the book. you have to be in the moment and invested in the experience. period. the downside is that nowadays, books are moving into content marketing objects just as well. so most recent books are not really intended as books, just visibility "hooks" (hey, pun!) to get the author "out there". your time is valuable and you won't be able to read all of the books out there. aim for the classics in both fiction and nonfiction. as for e-readers, i've had one for 5+ years now. is it great for monetary convenience? hell yes. is it great for portability? hell yes. do i absorb content the same way as in a regular paper book? well not really. the only thing i still miss is the ability to actually underline text and scribble to the side of the page in real time and in a PHYSICAL WAY (i.e. pencil in hand). That way, i can pin down ideas and reflections by the time they hit me, with no tech barriers, and fix them in memory better. it's basic psychology, nothing against tech. lately i've been experimenting in keeping on reading "low-medium interest" or just "way too heavy-large books to get in paper" books on my e-reader, while actually investing in paper books for "high interest" ones, to be consumed the slow, old school way. and i'm satisfied with the results. better comprehension and deeper reflection on content. PS. speed reading is still mostly BS to me. tried it more than once. granted you'll be able to slightly increase your speed, but again is is about speed? you want to extract knowledge, understand it, and think about it. who cares about speed. make it about value. been wordy. just my 2 cents, let me know your take

I’d love to see you interview (if possible) Ryder Carroll, the author of the “Bullet Journal Method”!

@@sugarbanana8066 Thank you!! I didn't know

Admittedly, I use a lot of check lists and have for a long time (esp for travel!) . But this inspired me to go even farther with it. Now I have 3 kids and my brain really is over flowing. I appreciate your content rich videos, and the way you always provide more resources for us to go deeper into the subject should we feel compelled to do so. Thank you!!

Watched this video when it came out, created a few checklists, came across it today, and realized I'm completely dependent on those checklists. Thanks Matt!

This is a wonderful topic, Matt. I surely need a checklist for everything I do. Btw love your sense of HUMOR, Matt. That skit between you & Natalie is hilariously cute!

Hey Matt, I really appreciate your work. I would like to have a compilation of "quick questions not so quick answers", from the ground up show. Furthermore, I am seeking to have all the reading watching or listening to material that the successful people you interview suggest to consume, or attest their growth to. Something to think about. Thanks for everything. Ryley.

Great video, thanks Matt! Those red ticks are soooo satisfying.

Thank you so much, Matt! 💜 I love the fact that Greg's so clear (both in thoughts and speech) while he speaks. 👏🏽💯 Moreover, his smile is 😄.

Got it, let’s start our checklist with: “Make a checklist”. Checked!

I’ve always felt like I’ve performed well when using checklists - there’s something satisfying about being able to visually see everything you’ve accomplished. However the past few times I’ve tried to make a list for things to get done in a day, I’m lucky if I accomplish half- I tell myself to just roll those tasks over to the next day but I usually just don’t. Watching this video as inspired me to figure what’s keeping me from completing my tasks and to refine my to do lists

I find it helpful to create another smaller “must do list” with just say 3 things on it that I DEFINITELY have to do that day. Then even if you just do those 3 things and nothing else, you still feel like you’ve achieved something and are less likely to give up! :) (I got this idea from the book ‘Get Your Sh*t Together’ by Sarah Knight... it’s a great book!)

Yes, be honest about what you actually need to do vs what you’d like to do. Not everything deserves the same priority level. Also, if you have something on your to do list that isn’t directly connected to a larger important goal, you’re less likely to accomplish it. Stay encouraged!

I had already started the checklist method when I discovered this video: it really inspired me and help me raise my skills in making effective checklists. Thank you!

Very simple yet seems very efficient, it really gets you thinking about everything you do and how a Check List can be a part of it. All the best Matt 👍🏼

5:15 Solid. “He’s British. He sounds smart. ..when he talks.” Great use of the pause.

Hey Matt! Maybe something to add to your editing checklist can be creating or outsourcing closed captioning on your videos. Your videos are so high quality, and it would be a small investment to make sure everyone can enjoy them.

I'm loving these videos! I have recently been using checklists, but moreso a mental one in my daily life and it has been so helpful. This is especially the case when I divide up long and mundane tasks into small sections. For example, I now no longer see a 300+ page book as a bore or overwhelming. Instead, I divide the amount of pages by the number of days I hope to finish it by and try to read a minimum of that many pages every day

This is so true, I subconsciously use it whenever I have a big exam to tackle, it relieves my nerves as it tells me what steps I should take in order to crush that exam.

Wow. Amazing Matt! This is such simple yet powerful advice and I’ve definitely seen the power of checklists in my own life. Also, looks like I have a few more books to add to my reading check list 😏

I just read the book and I'm really excited to give checklists a try ^^

this was so good bro. so refreshing finding actual good content

Thank you for your quality videos. Definitely so refreshing especially if compared to lots of other videos online.

I make checklists for my morning with everything from “brush teeth” to “pack this book for school” and “eat breakfast”. I was always SO embarrassed by it because it felt like I was putting obvious things I do every day onto a list for nothing; but it allows me to also remember to do the unusual or complicated tasks and I feel less embarrassed now. Thank you

Thankfully my brain surgeon had a check list in my brain surgery. He removed 100% of my tumor!🙌

Thanks for sharing - needed this today!

My whiteboard, with my checklist on, at my work is my life saver. I work so much more focused thanks to it.

Summary: - Make a checklist. That's it. You're welcome.

I remember reading the book titled "the checklist manifesto" and coming to the same conclusion. Simple yet effective.

Damn you're like a virtual big brother to me. Learning new stuff every video

Your videos keep getting better

I like how experts just show up in middle of the video and start explaining their idea with no formal introduction ! :) 👍

Started to get on flow mode. Enter youtube to put on some whitenoise track. Stop being productive to to watch Matt's new productivity video :D ....

My mom loves checklists! She has been insisting and teaching me how to do them everyday. There is something powerful when you physically check off a chore or duty, you feel so accomplished and motivated to keep knocking em off one by one.
