Why you feel overwhelmed about the future (and how to beat it)

Happy new year everyone! In this video I talk about the one productivity system that helped me beat this feeling of being overwhelmed about the future, resistance, and procrastinating. Understanding the concept of the "gap" and focusing on a few daily tasks instead of looking at our loaded schedules.
Recap of The Checklist rules:
1. ONLY 2-3 tasks per day!
2. Put it somewhere you can physically see it.
3. Even if you don't cross everything off in the day, write a fresh one for the next day.
I think 2021 for me is all about keeping it simple, building sustainable habits, and slow growth. Let me know if you read this and end up trying out this checklist system :)

That’s actually an amazing method, my wife is an occupational therapist and the day she brought this to me literally changed my life, no more procrastination and the feeling of checking off my list is wonderful. Been doing it for almost 1 year now, trust me this is simple but life changing. ❤ Thank you Riza to make the world a better place, your content is amazing

Now days I'm crying for no reason , like whole month , feeling overwhelmed, stress , anxiety attacks and all . Still trying to figure it out . My brother said , live in the present bcz from now 2year later you will laugh on yourself for what you doing now , so relax and enjoy every moment bcz Life is not short that you think , so do things one by one.

Regained optimism from watching this. The book “Atomic Habits” by James Clear has helped many lives. I think he would’ve been proud that you mentioned his book in your beautifully crafted short film. I like to think that “1% better” can be applied to literally anything that you do consistently. The sleeper curve activated. Happy New Years, Riza!!

I really appreciate that you have the option for captions in your videos. As someone with ADHD who often has trouble with hearing, it helps me so much to actually focus and understand what has been said.

I started my personal growth journey this year, watching Brene Brown, finished reading Atomic Habits, and meditating. I loved my planner but realized setting intentional tasks for the next morning worked best for me. I didn't know that's what this was called. Narrowing. I noticed time blocks worked too, making room in my schedule to journal on repeat at 10pm at night even just for 5 mins. Thank you for sharing your content, Riza

I love your advice! My experience has been to introduce failure on my list of expectations. Doing 100% of my work and failing 30% of it is better than doing nothing because I'm too stressed out about planning. I can then iterate to fix the 30% of broken stuff once that's all I have left to do :D

3:03 This is the exact thing I’ve been doing for a long time. I usually put the sticky note next to the trackpad or on my table, even on my bed (to prevent me from lying on the bed😂). And it really works for me instead of using apps. All i need is just a pen and sticky notes and of course the things i wanna do that have already stacked in my mind

I was overloaded with work last month and I have literally been only using check lists but you know how there are some things you do everyday and never think of how small things actually help you keep going! This video was everything that goes in my mind but i couldn't; have put it better! Great job, love love love from India. I wish i had an IRL friend like youuu

I always wondered about this but never formalized it like this. tho since I've kept a cashier journal nearby at all times I've been a lot more in tune with stuff I care about. it has no structure, just write a few things you need to worry about for the next few hours.

Hmm then you have those of us who find out after burning out that we're neurodivergent and it's literally impossible for us. Trying to find a way to live when we're built different but expected to do the same is impossible.
