    You explained perfectly why I also love public transport. Driving feels like a massive waste of time where you can't do anything else except focus on the driving. Riding a train or a metro is getting into places whilst having a moment to chill, read, organise or even work semi-comfortably. it's also great to reset after a long day, unlike with driving where you may get caught in traffic and then it's just more stress pilled on.
  • Habit 1- have portable to-do list Habit 2- eliminate time wasters (replace that time wasting habit with another mindful one. My suggestion 😉) Habit 3- habit stacking Habit 4- plan your day around your energy levels Habit 5- timeblocking

    Honestly? The best video about time management that I have seen
  • @ariellau3823
    I commute to work (2 hours everyday) and I read 50+ books in a single year. I haven't read so many books since I was a child!
  • @Sufiness
    Thank you for not talking over music the whole time. I'm very sensitive to that extra noise and it was really nice to hear your wisdom without contending with the background noise that so many YouTubers add in. 🌷

    It’s really amazing what you listed Id just add that not all of your free time needs to be productive. In psychology they actually encourage you to use time to just be by yourself and explore your thoughts as they are. It helps with mental stability.
  • @lynnmcneil8116
    Me, an American, crying as I hear you describe your public transport and how you can use that time productively. I don't think I'll be able to do that in the States until we get self-driving cars! :)

    I decided to watch this video thinking you’d give generic advice I heard over and over again. But then you mentioned how you used to work out in the mornings and work on your side business after your job, but then feel too burnt out for the side business in the evening. That is exactly what I have been going through. I always go to the gym between 6-7am, start my 1hr morning commute at 7:30am and listen to books/podcasts on the way. Always so energized and get to work with so much to give. But I’m an introvert, too. And it takes so much from me. By the time I’m home, I cook dinner and only want to watch TV or do some mindless scrolling because I’m EMPTY and have no energy for my business. So what I took from this video might just be priceless. It’s something I haven’t thought of before! I am going to try to switch my gym time and my side-business time. Hopefully this will work and help me to become more productive in my personal goals! 😊

    I walk to the station and go for a walk during my lunch break. That way on my "office days" I'm guaranteed to complete half of my fitness goals for the week. I also have a city errands list ie shops that have a city location that aren't in my neighbourhood that i would have to travel to in the weekend. so l can go also tick a few things off on my weekdays so less to do in the weekend
  • Everyone is struggling (me included) with not being on the phone, or watching series. These are the main time waisters in our minds. Meeting with friends, reading a book, cooking, working, living all these things are being productive and meeining full. This just makes me realise once again that I have to get rid of these things in my life.
  • @MAXLRS99
    I haven't commented on anything in like 10 years. But I have to say this is the most underrated video of all time and should be shared everywhere. This perfectly spoke to how my mind works. Thank you!
  • Daaaang the small scrolls hit HARD - I always wonder how my screen time gets up so high every week but yep - you're right, ima have to call myself out on that one. I reward myself after everything with a little scroll and I didn't even realise I was doing it so freakin much! Wow eye opener hahaha fabulous video thank you!! 🙏🏽💜
  • I have watched endless time management videos, but this one was especially well summarised, informative and contained the beyond basic tips. You explain things so well, and give practical examples from your own life. I am about to commence nursing at uni as well as working three jobs, so watching this gave me a great idea of where I can save my time. Thank you and keep making videos like this!💓

    When you live in a crowded city where public transportation is very crowded and you cannot even find a place to sit, it's really hard even impossible. Unfortunately, in a cramped and noisy train where it is impossible to stand and breathe for 45-50 minutes, there is no room for anything other than stress, boredom and nausea. being productive is not even the last option, in an environment where strangers are glued to your skin from all around and you are in a torment and want to get off and breathe as soon as possible.
  • @ZeroToHeroTop
    Thank you. Your video promotes five habits for better time management: 1. Keep a portable to-do list: Use the spare moments (e.g., commuting on public transport) to complete small tasks from the list. 2. Eliminate small time wasters: Be mindful of activities that consume small chunks of time throughout the day (e.g., excessive social media scrolling). 3.Habit stacking: Combine a passive activity (e.g., walking) with an active activity (e.g., listening to a podcast) to optimize your time. 4.Match time with tasks: Schedule demanding tasks during your peak energy hours and less demanding tasks during your low energy hours. 5.Time blocking: Allocate specific time slots in your calendar for completing specific tasks.
  • This is THE best time management video I've ever seen. Love it! Thank you. You should write a book on time management, honestly.
  • Even though I have been in the self - improvement rabbit hole for over 3 years, nobody talks about the proper active and passive habit stacking. It's incredible how much an obvious combination of mentally challenging tasks and things you can do by muscle memory actually is, yet nobody talks about it. Excellent tip and great video

    Weirdly I’ve discovered almost all of these organically already, but moving the apps on your homepage is a GENIUS move that I will be trying out!!
