What up today we are going to bring you 3 tips on
productivity with Alex Ikonn right now
what's up guys im here with Alex Ikonn the man behind
Luxy hair we've been talking for a while about doing the interview
he happen to be here in Vancouver BC so I'm excited - Glad to be here
we are going to be talking about productivity Alex anything you want
to share about productivity your top 3 tips
oh yeah I think productivity is really you know for everybody who wants
to achieve specially in our let's say influencer world or creative world
a lot of times we are all over the place and before when I was became an
entrepreneur or just self-employed or whatever you want to call it
at the beginning I found it very hard because structure is very
important and if you don't create structure for yourself you
wont be productive - specially as a youtuber no structure - Yeah anybody
but specially as a youtuber as a creator so number one you have
three most important takes a day and you have your most important
task that you do you do that first a lot of times people you know they'll
create a to do list and will put certain tasks but we don't do the most
important first we just do what's easy what we want to do what's
fun but a lot of times what's the most important its not fun its maybe
harder - its that thing that you avoid the most - the thing you avoid
the most however if you do that right away as the first you'll just be
you'll just feel so good because you accomplish and then everything
else is just easy peasy second one is working Pomodoro so the
Pomodoro technique is basically just working 25 minutes at a time
and taking 5 minute breaks because and the most important thing
is working 25 minutes at a time so you only do one thing at a time
because once again we are this ADD culture from phones
notifications anything else - turn off the internet turn off the computer
focus I totally know what you mean - Yeah 'cause multitasking is really
a myth and your brain can really only focus on one thing at a time and do
really well so unless you're some genius which most of us are not I'm
just a normal person but the way I become better or more productive
is that I only focus on one thing at a time and it is hard so think of
if like a muscle that you are training you retain your mind back to be able
to focus and really also cure a lot of anxiety anxiousness in you
because this is really just do one thing at a time and the last thing
plan what you are going to do the night before - yeah totally
and it can be such a game changer because if you are coming to work
or in your office or just to work whatever may be and you're you're
thinking what am I going to do but when you plan the night before
you come in the next day and you are banging 'cause you are like
I know what im gonna do I'm gonna type my most important task first
Thank you so much Alex I personally use - Yeah what's your productivity
my productivity is like literally have a plan number one if you
don't have a plan you are just shooting off the cuff of the head so I have
like a black book planner I open it up I plan the whole week on Sunday
and then everyday I do that tip number one which is I put the three
most important things on a little note card Tim Ferris I think I learned it
from him like condense what is most important but you have a tool
and this is not why we tape this we just want to bring you what we thought
would be the most value however you have a tool that you've created that would
be actually good for people like looking to be productive
well thank you Benji for mentioning because pretty much what I mention
I guess said you can do this yourself on your own journal pennant planner
you can do that we created the productivity planner which is basically
kind of because me I'm kinda like design aesthetic guy I like things that
are package well and neat and kinda have cohesiveness to it
so you can do those exact same tips without needing anything
however we've created the productivity planer just kinda
to integrate the Pomodoro Technique integrate your you know
most important 3 to 5 task max you don't do more than that
