Hope you enjoyed this one! I'm going to try something new and create a public journal of sorts that details how I'm pushing my skills and learning. 1% Rule log for this video: - I wanted the reel-to-reel to spin continuously and never skip due to a jump cut. So I had to film the video twice and alternate angles anytime I didn't cover up a cut with B-roll - Combined two different creative LUTs to achieve more retro looking skin tones. In the past I've always just tried to choose one. I also experimented with masked/feathered color grading layers on the sides that have the "faded film" slider pushed up, which did an ok job of simulating a bit of haze without making the middle section look too faded. - Got a bit better at EQ'ing the dialogue - though I did screw up with the mic positioning on the wide shot, which is why it's a bit echo-y when I lean forward. What is the 1% Rule? Essentially, it's the idea that you should aim to get 1% better with each piece of work you do, instead of pressuring yourself to create "perfect" work. Over time, these 1% improvements add up as long as you're consistent. More info in this video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/ppN6tbV8Xczee5s.html I'll also be collecting all these journal entries here: thomasjfrank.com/my-1-rule-journal/

Method to choose the important: After reading GTD and The power of simplicity: Choose 3 main projects (personal and work, 3 un total) - First thing for me: Rutins that mantain your body and mind ready to work. - Second: Your next step in your on of projects (important). - Third: An urgent task (not important) The MOST IMPORTANT TASK should be just 3 things to accomplish during the day (next steps+ urgents). After that easy things. Write It down where You can see It all the time. No mobile, you are tempted to distract. That is It. I hope It helps!! Great vídeo!!

i totally agree with you

Something that works so well for me and can be added to all these systems. If something pops into your head you want to procrastinate on, write it down in a todoist list called "rewards". Use that to motivate you by using the pomodoro method and do a "reward" during your 5 min break. For me this is often amazon shopping or getting a cup of tea or snack or chatting with someone. This works by using your dopamine response to motivate you, and create strong habits. Reducing alcohol use has also has increased motivation and helped manage habitual behaviours which are especially sticky in our home environment, I've found.

It looks perfect and soft for eyes.

You’ve inspired me so much, I’ve had a great idea what to do to have it all organized now. Thank you 🙏

Such a cool setup!

Thanks for the tips, Thomas. Not sure how I'll implement them but it was a great information for me.

What an amazing video!

I’m a retiree and managed a lot of emergencies with siblings and my family over the past year. I’m really benefiting from your videos as although I’m not finished with all I need to do for them, it’s helping me restructuring my life. Thank You! LC

definitely a creative way of setting different tasks apart, I'm digging it. :D

I love the Kanban Method, but i know it takes so much consistency especially working within my comfort zone at home.

Omg...so relatable! working from home is challenging.

I'm using the kitchen system at the moment and it makes much more sense than my old categorization system. Thank you❤

Helps a lot with this whole situation 💪

I love the Kitchen Martin system! I’m going to try it out. Thank you!

Love it, especially the new studio

Love the Martin-Kitchen System! It just works so much! And if you think of all 4 of the lists as actual stoves, you'll eventually have to address them (as martin was alluding to) otherwise they'll burn and the food (in this case the project/task) will be ruined

Thanks Bro!

Thomas looks like he could be Chris Pratt's chiller little brother

Hello Thomas. I want to start off by saying that I'm a huge fan! I've been watching your videos for some time now and you've helped me learn so much about productivity. I didn't even know there was a school of thought about productivity science until I came across your channel. Request: Can you do a video about managing cognitive load while working from home. I have a strong processing speed and I find myself getting super tired (i.e., mentally exhausted by the end of the day). I'm an instructional designer, and this is a new role for me. It involves so much from visual and graphic design, to planning course material with subject matter experts, and more. I'm finding myself getting distracted, taking more frequent breaks just to get through some of the monotony. What can I do to manage my cognitive load during the working day so that I can be better at my role?

Love the Kitchen System! Very smart system for us developer types!

Really helpful video. Thx Tom. Special mention that to do list apps with scheduled time, as Martin mentioned, tend to be rescheduled frequently as some tasks took longer than expected time, something urgent cropped up,etc., making alot of overdue tasks for today, hence not very helpful.

Separating deadlines from "intention to work on something" has been super important for me! I've tried all the apps, and I keep ending up back at Things 3 for exactly this reason. I can have lists categorized more "classically" (Work/School/Personal/etc.), with hard deadlines on each item/project. But, I can also add times to actually work on those items.

Another banger brother, keep it up

Very informative and being easy on the eyes doesn't hurt ;-)

I love this style on you, very gentleman-like!

The vest.... I love the vest!!
