0:01hi everyone and Sam Evans here and I
0:03just wanted to make this quick video to
0:05share with you guys a list of things
0:08that are good and what I mean by that is
0:11some basic like everyday things that I
0:14use in my own life that I think you know
0:17make it a lot better they're just basic
0:19things they're very cheap anyone can use
0:21them and I'm gonna explain what they are
0:25and why I like them and why I use them
0:28and I'm guessing a lot of you or some of
0:31you might find these things really
0:33useful as well so what I'm going to do
0:35is I'm just gonna walk around my
0:37apartment here in New York and I'm just
0:40gonna show you these different things
0:41and I'll also include a link to them
0:44below this video on the blog where you
0:47can you know access these things and you
0:50know and get them for yourself if you're
0:51interested in them so let's start this
0:54little tour so first stop is the kitchen
0:58and the first thing I want to introduce
1:00you to list on number one on this list
1:02is quest bars there we go they look like
1:07this now these quest bars why I like
1:12them is you know a lot of the time you
1:15know I have breakfast I have lunch and
1:17then I have dinner but a lot of the time
1:18in between those meals you know I get I
1:20feel like a snack or I might feel like
1:22especially in the afternoons or the
1:24evenings I might feel like something you
1:26know that's bad for me like some
1:28chocolate or some sort of thing that's
1:31that's not very good for me and why like
1:33these quest bars is you know they taste
1:36pretty good they taste like a chocolate
1:38bar almost and the cool thing about them
1:40is that you can eat them but then
1:42there's no guilt afterwards because
1:44there's you know no sugar and then well
1:45there's nothing really in them that's
1:47bad for you so it doesn't matter if you
1:49have like two of these a day or whatever
1:50compared to if you have like you know
1:52two chocolate bars or something so
1:55that's why I like these and I you know I
1:57noticed as soon as I started having
1:58these I pretty much my cravings
2:00disappeared for like chocolate bars and
2:02things like that
2:03and it allowed me to be a lot healthier
2:05and it removed that guilt that I had you
2:08know after eating bad stuff now we'll go
2:10over to the fridge here
2:12and honor introduce you to number two on
2:15this list is Lacroix these things you
2:22can see we've got a good stockpile in
2:24here so the Croix why I like them is
2:27it's basically sparkling flavored water
2:31so you know you've probably had
2:33sparkling water before the only
2:34difference with Lacroix is that it's
2:36flavored and it tastes pretty damn good
2:38and why I like these is you know first
2:41of all it pretty much tastes like a soda
2:44it tastes like you know it's really
2:46flavor some it tastes really good but
2:48the good thing about them is that
2:49there's no sugar in them there's nothing
2:51bad in them it's pretty much just like
2:53drinking water and you can binge drink
2:55these things you know I have like six or
2:57seven of these things a day and you can
2:59drink as many of them as you want and
3:01it's not bad for you at all it's just
3:03like drinking water plus these things
3:05are real cheap as well you can get like
3:07a box of six or eight for like four or
3:10five bucks so cheap healthy for you and
3:13it's just like drinking water also the
3:15sparkling water part in it you know
3:17sparkling water suppresses your appetite
3:19a bit so it if you're drinking sparkling
3:22water throughout the day you don't feel
3:24like eating as much food which is you
3:26know good for health and all of that so
3:29that's pretty much the two things my two
3:31most favorite things in the kitchen now
3:34we'll walk through into the bedroom and
3:39here and into the sleeping area and this
3:47thing here it's one of my favorite
3:48things so look at this so this is like a
3:56an air conditioner for your beard and
3:59I'll pull it out here and you can see
4:03it's called a beard jet and I'll put a
4:08link to all of these things beneath this
4:10video here on my blog but why like this
4:13then
4:13well why like this is you know in the
4:17summertime it gets really hot and the
4:20thing about you know if you've got air
4:22conditioning in your apartment or
4:23whatever that's great but
4:25you know what it won't air-conditioning
4:28doesn't get underneath the duvet or
4:29underneath the blankets or anything so
4:31even if we have the aircon blaring in
4:34this apartment it's still like hot and
4:37sweaty underneath the the duvet in the
4:40sheets so that beer cooler just sits in
4:43between the bottom sheet in the top
4:45sheet and it puts in cold air in there
4:48and you can set the temperature just how
4:50you want it and what you'll find is it
4:52you know your sleep gets way better you
4:54know a lot of a lot of sleep quality
4:57comes from your body temperature it's
4:59one of the main driving forces in a
5:02quality sleep and if you have quality
5:04sleep you're going to be more productive
5:05you're gonna be more happy you're gonna
5:06make more money all of that stuff so you
5:08know there is a very real ROI
5:11- having a good sleep therefore there's
5:13an hour way to controlling your
5:15temperature when you're in when you're
5:17in when you're in bed so that's why the
5:20bed jet is an awesome tool that I highly
5:23recommend and why we're in here you can
5:25see I've got you know a big collection
5:27of the books I love reading and I'll
5:30just give you a quick except one of
5:32these books that I read recently
5:35principles by Ray Dalio
5:37I'll put a link below the video highly
5:40recommended this is probably the best
5:42book that I read in 2017 now what we'll
5:47do is we will cruise on through to
5:52bathroom and then I want to introduce
5:55you to this it's called an aura ring
6:00it's on charge right now you can see
6:03this little thing here and it goes on
6:05your finger and you can see it's got
6:07some of the leaked electrical things on
6:10the bottom now I like this is the border
6:16ring it basically tracks your heart rate
6:20attracts your body temperature attracts
6:22all these different things and it
6:23provides you with health metrics and my
6:26favorite thing about it is that it
6:27tracks your quality of sleep so it will
6:30track like how many hours of sleep you
6:32had the quality of your sleep and all of
6:35that stuff and when you when you start
6:38to have a metric that shows you how good
6:40your sleep is you can start to improve
6:43it and you know one of the things that
6:45I've found that helps me in business and
6:47in life the most is having a good sleep
6:50and that's why the beer cooler and their
6:52ordering are they're like the ultimate
6:54combination of tools to optimize and
6:57improve your sleep and so I highly
7:00recommend the ordering and I'm gonna put
7:02a link to that below this video on my
7:05blog as well
7:06now people coming out here to my home
7:11office area over here and I want to
7:17introduce you to something very simple
7:22some incense so one thing I really like
7:27to do when I'm working is light some
7:29incense and you know the stuffs super
7:31cheap and it's very simple and why I
7:34like it is I find it really helps me to
7:37relax and it also helps me to focus and
7:41really get into the zone and you know
7:43there's been a lot of actual studies and
7:45incense that's why they lighted it like
7:47the monk
7:48camps and up in the mountains with the
7:50ninjas and and all of those in all of
7:53those people but it it helps you focus
7:56on your breathing you know because the
7:58because the incense lets off a scent
8:01you know you're more focused and you're
8:03more conscious about your breathing
8:04which helps you to breathe better which
8:06therefore helps you to you know focus
8:08better in relax and so you know I found
8:11incense to be really helpful when I'm
8:13working throughout the day and it's
8:15another one of my things on the list of
8:17things that are good now what we'll do
8:20this will cruise over to my laptop here
8:24and now what I'm gonna do is I'm just
8:27going to jump onto my laptop and I'm
8:29going to show you a couple of tools on
8:30here that I find really helped me
8:33throughout the day and in my life so
8:36we'll jump on that right now
8:37alright so now we're on my computer I
8:39want to show you a couple of things that
8:41really help so the first one in this
8:43tool is seriously cool it's called the
8:47boom volume booster in the
8:50is available for Mac I'm not sure if
8:52they make Khan for a PC or not but if
8:54you're using a PC we should get a Mac
8:56anyway so this thing here it boosts the
9:00volume of your sound on your Mac and
9:03this it does it for both your speaker's
9:05in your in your computer and headphones
9:08and honestly when you when you install
9:11this thing and you listen to it for the
9:13first time you your life is going to
9:15change it dramatically improves the
9:18volume of your sound and also the
9:21quality of your sound so I highly
9:24recommend that you install this on your
9:26Mac it is one of the best things I've
9:28ever found and it's so simple and so
9:30easy so that's the first one and like
9:33all the other things you know I'm gonna
9:34put a link to it below this video on our
9:37blog now the next one I want to show you
9:41is something it called LastPass and so
9:47you know if you've ever you know if
9:50you're on the Internet which pretty much
9:51everyone is then passwords are a big
9:53thing you got to know your username and
9:55your password for like a million
9:56different things and you know it's a bad
9:58idea to use the same password for
10:00everything and it's you know you really
10:03want to have good passwords that are all
10:05different so that if one password gets
10:06leaked your whole life isn't all at risk
10:09so I recommend using this thing called
10:11LastPass and what it does is if you go
10:14to any website it pretty much autofills
10:17it so if I go to paypal.com for example
10:20and if I go login here it will show you
10:25know that it'll show my login info and
10:28what I need to do is just hit login
10:30because it's grabbing it from LastPass
10:32you can also say if your credit card
10:34info and you know all all things you
10:37really need and so really I I can go
10:40throughout you know the internet on all
10:42of these different sites and I can I can
10:46enter credit card info address info
10:49login info for everything without either
10:51having to type in anything and that
10:53makes you way more productive it makes
10:55you way faster and it also protects the
10:58security of everything because you know
11:00it's it's a complex password like this
11:03you can see like this for all of your
11:05different stuff instead of you know
11:07pulling your birthday and will your
11:10cat's name or something like that and so
11:12this is a really good hack that I highly
11:15recommend now another one that I really
11:18recommend is the warm app calendar and
11:22I'll show you what that looks like right
11:24here and I talked about this in a
11:27previous blog post but you know this is
11:30a calendar that I like to use it's free
11:32and it's available in Google Docs and
11:35anyone can use it's real easy to use and
11:38you know it's basically a way to plan
11:41your plan your life and plan your year
11:43in advance so you can you ever both a
11:45high level view here and you have a
11:47month by month view as well and I'm not
11:50going to talk about this one too much
11:52because I explained it in detail in a
11:53previous blog post so just check below
11:56this video for the link to that specific
11:58blog post and if you go there you'll be
12:00able to see all about it learn about it
12:02learn how you can use it and also you'll
12:05be able to get access to this tool for
12:07free as well and so that's pretty much
12:09you know the list of things that are
12:12good or the things that I use every day
12:14in my life to you know to be more
12:16productive and to get more out of my day
12:18and everything now like I said all of
12:20these things are cheap they're easy to
12:21use the easy to access and everyone can
