Clear Desk = Clear Mind = Clear Path

YOUTUBE 📚 THE READING LIFE 📚 PATREON

📚 Hey! Time to win.

Every time I surprise myself with how well something works, I like to pass it along to you.

Today, it’s clearing my desk completely and having everything organized for a perfectly productive day tomorrow. I cannot tell you what a difference that makes mentally.

It took me a good hour, because I was much more disorganized than I thought, but now I have a crystal-clear picture in my mind of exactly what needs to get done tomorrow - and when - and now it’s just a matter of easing into sleep, letting my subconscious mind work on forming a plan of attack for tomorrow, waking up, and executing on that plan.

I wouldn’t be surprised if I fall asleep much faster tonight, in fact, what with the reduced cognitive load of trying to “remember” what I have to do tomorrow and what my day is going to look like.

I don’t know…I just keep surprising myself over and over with how well this works and how good I feel after doing it that I just had to share it.

This approach works wonders.

I’ll spare you all the details, but basically I worked off my list of Yearly Goals, Monthly Goals, Weekly Goals, Content Strategy, etc. and laid out exactly what needs to be done, while at the same time breaking down each project into its smallest constituent parts so that nothing is too overwhelming and I can just get right to work.

Try this for yourself and see if this doesn’t change everything for you. And please report back and tell me how it works out for you :)

Today was another frustrating day! Man. Between losing ALL my rough footage for my next YouTube video, Threads posting problems, STUFF going on…yeah, it wasn’t great.

I may have flipped out yelled in my computer’s face once or twice haha. Anyway…tomorrow is another day and I am READY for it!

But hey, it’s 4:24AM here right now and I’m going to bed!

All the best,

Matt Karamazov
