https://deanbokhari.com/marginal-gains/ | Rerun: EP279. "Marginal Gains" |

Marginal Gains What if I told you that you could transform your entire life if you decided to get just 1% better in each of the areas that matter to you?

In 2003, a man named David Brailsford was hired to help a struggling British Cycling team. At the time, British Cycling was weak. They hadn’t won a single Olympic Gold medal since 1908. And no British cyclist had ever won the Tour de France. Dave Brailsford was tasked with changing that. He had an interesting approach to success, known as the “‘Marginal Gains” philosophy, also called the “1% Factor.”

His method was simple and straight-forward: Push the team to get 1% better each day.

Brailsford’s concept was, that if you broke down every single thing you could think of that goes into cycling—and improved it by just 1%— you’d gain a significant increase when you put them all together.

Basically, he was applying the compound effect.

Brailsford looked at every little thing he could possibly improve upon in order to create a winning team.

He measured and monitored all of the traditional stats of his athletes, like a cyclists’ power output, physical fitness and nutrition. He targeted specific weaknesses on the team and sought to improve upon them bit-by-bit.

But Brailsford also looked at improving often-overlooked areas, and implemented tiny tactics to help them get the edge:

  • They had the seats redesigned for extra comfort and stability
  • They put rubbing alcohol on the tires for better grip
  • They experimented with different racing suits for better aerodynamics
  • They tested various massage gels for better muscle recovery
  • They tested electrically heated shorts
  • He trained his cyclists on the phycological aspect of success
  • They even used better pillows in order to optimize their sleep

All-in-all, it was a much more holistic approach to success. The changes they made were tiny, but over time, compounded to make a significant impact.

From 2007 to 2017, the British Cycling team won 178 world championships, and 66 Olympic gold medals.

In 2010, as the general manager of the British-based professional cycling team, Team Sky (now known as Team Ineos), Brailsford set a goal to take his cycling team to a winning position in the Tour de France in the next 5 years.

He implemented his “Marginal Gains” principle and began working to improve every area of his cycling team by 1%… And they took home a gold medal at the Tour De France within 3 years.

By 2018, they’d gone on to take home 6 Tour de France victories.

That’s an incredible improvement, to say the least.

How Marginal Gains can Transform Your Life. If you can get just 1% better each day for a single year, you’ll end up thirty-seven times better by the same time next year.

This also works in the opposite direction: if you get 1% worse each day for a single year, you’ll decline down to nearly zero.

Focus on making small improvements each day, over time those small improvements will equate to massive change.

For example, let’s say you want to lose weight and get in shape. Instead of focusing on losing 50 lbs, concentrate on working out for just 30 minutes three times a week for 30 days. Over time you will begin to see changes in your body. Thirty minutes a day, three times a week for 52 weeks is 4,680 minutes worth of exercise.

If you can find a way to improve each of the major areas of your life by just 1% every day, beginning today, you will have transformed your life completely by this time next year.

Unfortunately, most people apply the exact opposite approach: they’ll use short spurts of motivation to work themselves into burnout—before losing steam and giving up before they see any progress at all…

Don’t let that be you.

Imagine what your life would look like a year from now if you decided to apply the 1% factor to start making marginal gains on your goals * If you want to write a book, write just five pages a day for the next thirty days. * If you want to start getting up earlier, set your alarm clock for just one minute earlier each morning. * If you want to read more books, start reading just seven pages a day build up from there. * If you want to figure out how to create an additional income stream, start writing down five new business ideas each day—and test one a week—until you hit upon something that works.

One month from now:

  • you’ll have written 150 pages.
  • you’ll be getting up thirty minutes earlier.
  • you’ll have read a full book.
  • you could be making more money than you are today.

One year from now:

  • you’ll have written 1,800 pages — enough to fill seven books.
  • you could be getting up at 5am consistently.
  • you’ll have read 12 more books
  • you could be making more money than you’ve ever made before.

Bottom line?

Small, simplistic actions repeated regularly, can lead to dramatic changes over time.

Actionable insight: * Set yourself a challenge to get 1% better each day for the next 30 days. Select one or more areas of your life (physically, financially, mentally, socially, spiritually) and aim to improve by just 1% each day. + If you want to improve your knowledge on a particular topic, for example, read seven pages every day. If you’re not used to exercising but want to take control of your health, start by exercising just 10 minutes a day. * Keep in mind: marginal gains are about paying attention to the small action steps, making small changes, and achieving more over time.

This article/episode was inspired by The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle. In this piece, we’ll be discussing how to defeat anxiety and stress by bringing yourself into the present moment.

Scroll down to read or click Play to listen.

LIVING IN THE NOW IS THE KEY TO FREEING YOURSELF OF PAIN. ”The more you are able to honor and accept the Now, the more you are free of pain, of suffering – and free of the egoic mind.” —Eckhart Tolle (from The Power of Now)

It is important to focus on making the Now the main priority in your life. Even if the present moment is uncomfortable or difficult, accepting rather than trying to fight it or go against it will bring great rewards.

When we do not access the power of the Now, every painful emotion we have leaves its mark on us and lives on, combining with other pain we’ve experienced throughout our lives. This pain becomes powerful negative energy that affects the body and mind - Tolle calls this a "pain body."

When pain bodies become too strong, they can take over.

When you're experiencing pain, there is a way to achieve consciousness and defeat it. First, recognize the pain; accept the fact that it exists without identifying with it or judging it. Become an observer of what's happening inside you and it will lose its power over you.

Fear occurs when we are in the present, but our minds are in the future thinking about what could happen. It is impossible to deal with something that has not happened yet, so anxiety often occurs. People who only identify with their minds and thoughts rather than their true deeper self will live with fear forever.

The ego also creates a pain within us that stems from feeling like we're not whole...

The journal—it’s one of those things that can be as useless as a piece of trash, or one of the most valuable things you’ve ever owned…

It all depends on what you fill that journal’s pages with.

Today, I’m going to share some of my personal favorite journaling ideas. You can use them all, combine the ones you like, or pick the single journaling idea that most resonates with where you’re at in life right now.

Either way, journaling—when done regularly—almost always leads to fresh, new insights and ideas that can absolutely transform your life.

I’ve used all of these journaling ideas below at some point in my life. Either to get through tough times, to achieve my goals, maintain my sanity, or to foster my creative efforts (like fleshing out topic ideas for articles, podcasts or talks.)

Whichever one of these journaling ideas you decide to use, just promise me this: you’ll actually use them. Because they’ll only work if you work them…

MeaningfulHQ.com | 292. The Daily Design |

Nobody wakes up in the morning and says, “Today I want to put out fires all day long.” But you probably know what a day like that feels like. I’m talking about those days when you wake up wanting to make meaningful progress on your goals, but you end up being pulled in every direction but the one you want to be going towards. What do you do when that happens?

If you’re not sure, you’re not at fault—they don’t teach us how to be intentional in grade school. But if you are ready to start being more intentional about each of your days, let me introduce you to a simple habit that can help you:

I call it the Daily Design.

And it takes less than five minutes a day, but can provide you with just enough intention, inspiration and structure to focus on doing meaningful work—on moving the needle on the things that matter most to you each day.

MeaningfulHQ.com | 288. Black Dots and Bright Spots Do You Have Self-Improvement Questions You’d Like Me To Cover?

About this episode: One day, a professor walked into his classroom and asked his students to prepare for a surprise test.

The students took their seats and waited nervously at their desks for the exam to begin.

Then, the professor walked up to each student’s desk and began handing out the exams, placing each paper face down on the desk as usual.

Once he was finished handing out all the exams, he took his place at the front of the classroom and asked his students to turn over their papers.

As the students turned over their papers, they were surprised to see that there weren’t any questions on the exam at all—just a single black dot on the center of the page.

The professor, seeing the confusion on everyone’s faces, said:

“I want you to write about what you see.”

The students were confused, but they got started nonetheless…

When everyone was finished, the professor collected all the exams, and started reading each one out loud in front of the class.

“This a black dot, approximately 1/4” in diameter” wrote one student. “I see a little black spot, placed in the center of the page” wrote another.

On and on it went. One after the other, each student did their best to describe the little black dot on the center of the page, and the professor read each of their responses aloud. And without a single exception, each student had written about the black dot. Some students defined it. Some students wrote about its position on the center of the paper. But every student focused on writing about the dot.

After the professor was finished reading each student’s paper out loud, he paused and looked at the class…

Perplexed and curious, the classroom fell silent, waiting for their teacher to say something that might help them make sense of this peculiar test.

“You will not be graded on this exam,” he said.

“But you will be tested…”

Now the students were really confused.

“I gave you this exam because I wanted to give you something to think about—because it will teach you a lesson that you will be tested on throughout the rest of your lives: None of you wrote about the white part of the paper. Instead, everyone focused on the black dot and ignored all the space that surrounds it — and the same thing happens in our lives…”

He continued, saying, “We place far too much attention on the black dots of our lives—the lack of money, the complicated relationship with a family member, the health issues, the friend that disappoints you. These black dots are tiny in comparison to everything we have in our lives, but they are the ones that pollute our minds. Take your eyes away from the black dot in your life and look around at all the space that surrounds it—these are the blessings, the gifts you’ve been given in life. Enjoy these gifts, enjoy each moment that life gives you.”

Do you have a tendency to place too much of your focus on the dark spots of your own life?

Even if you’re optimistic, it’s not always easy to let go of the black dots:

  • When we have just one negative interaction with someone, it takes five positive interactions to negate that single negative interaction.
  • When we read reviews and comments about our work, we have a tendency to focus on the few that criticize our work and forget about the many that compliment our work.
  • When some people experience just one failure, they give up altogether, rather than remembering that they’ve overcome adversity before, and they can do it again.
  • When we read an article and come across a typo, we act like the author just committed murder and forget about how helpful the rest of the article was.
  • When some of us don’t get what we want, we cry about it and get angry, rather than feel grateful for what we already have as we continue to pursue what we want.

None of this is to say that we should ignore the black dots, the dark moments, or the mistakes we make in life…

It’s to say that we tend to place far too much energy focusing on the NEGATIVE, and not enough energy on the POSITIVE.

It’s to say that we spend too much energy focusing on the PAIN, and not enough energy on the PLEASURE.

It’s to say that we spend too much energy focusing on the PROBLEM, and not enough energy on the SOLUTION.

Today, go out there and dwell not on the dark spots of life, but instead think about the bright spots.

Look for all the space that surrounds the dark spots of your life.

If you’re in the middle of a dark spot right now, first look back and remind yourself that you’ve been able to overcome adversity in the past, and if you’ve done it before, you can do it again.

And then, look ahead and remind yourself that you have so many tools at your disposal to get yourself out of this dark spot:

You’ve got your health. You’ve got your mind. You’ve got an internet connection that allows you to tap into the world’s knowledge in an instant.

You’ve got two hands to work with and a heart that beats 100,000+ times a day without you asking it to…

These are gifts—and they’re just a small fraction of the infinite number of bright spots you’ve got in your life.

Next time you come across a black dot, put it in perspective and see it for what it is—but don’t make it bigger than it is. Don’t ignore it, but don’t forget about all the space that surrounds it either.

https://www.deanbokhari.com/use-mini-habits

Changes “Mini-habits” are tiny daily routines, rituals, or actions that take just a few minutes to perform, but can compound over time, delivering huge returns in the overall quality of your life. They’re one of the best ways to form major habits, because mini-habits can be built upon—bit by bit—over time. And if you suck at starting, you’ll find that mini-habits are helpful with getting you to take action towards making progress on your goals… Mini-habits are all about incremental improvement—opting for the gradual and granular approach to success… For a lot of us, the idea of taking “massive action” can feel intimidating. (e.g. “How am I supposed to take massive action if I can barely get my ass off the couch?”) But by nudging yourself forward with tiny actions taken daily, you’ll eventually succeed. Since the reason you want to form a habit in the first place is to achieve or maintain a given goal, doing something—even if it’s little—is exponentially better than getting overwhelmed at the sheer enormity of your goal and giving up because of it. Incremental steps will ultimately lead to success. Taking any kind of action is better than taking none. Mini habits are called “mini” because they have a low level of commitment: Doing just five pushups a day. Walking just five minutes a day. Waking up just 10 minutes earlier. Let’s say you want to start a journaling habit. If you think about journaling several pages a day, you can easily become overwhelmed and convince yourself to abandon it all together before you ever get started. Or, you might be pumped up about writing page after page for the first week or two, but life gets in the way and you get out of the habit. But what if you just journaled five sentences a day? That’s manageable, right? Of course! That’s the power of a mini-habit—the low level of commitment required to execute it makes it easy to do over and over again until it becomes automatic for you. And once it’s automatic, you can decide if you want to maintain this mini-habit or challenge yourself to create a full-on habit out of it (e.g. writing a page a day instead of five sentences a day; waking up 20 minutes earlier instead of 10) Consistency is key when it comes to forming new habits. Mini-habits make your ambitions more approachable, which makes it easier to get started and remain consistent. ACTIONABLE INSIGHT(S): If getting started and staying consistent is a problem for you, ask yourself this: “What’s a mini-habit I can begin today that’s so small it’s impossible for me to fail?” Choose something stupid-simple, something you know you can do everyday no matter what (often times, once you start, you’ll find yourself doing more than you intended.) Keep in mind, you can build upon your mini-habit and turn it into a major habit if you choose.

ABOUT THIS EPISODE:

Are you OK?

I know we may not have ever met face-to-face. But I care and I'm really asking.

Personally, I never thought I'd see something like this. A global pandemic? It's nuts.

Here in Irvine, CA, where my family and I live, it's probably a lot like it is out in your neck of the woods: empty shelves at the grocery store. Face masks. Gloves. Hand sanitizer... And this weird obsession with stocking up on toilet paper. ‍♂️

In any case, I hope you and your family are safe and healthy.

And one more thing...

I've heard it said before that the only way humanity would ever unite and come together is if we had a common enemy from another planet.

Well, here's the thing: for the first time I can think of, we now have that common enemy... And it's not from some other planet—it's right here on Earth.

And in times like these, we've really got to come together (not physically though! Keep your distance!).

We've just got to look out for one another.

Check-up on your friends and family.

Text your neighbors and ask them if they need anything.

Give your DoorDasher a little extra to show your appreciation.

And feel a profound sense of gratitude for all the health professionals and everyone else that's on the front lines of this pandemic—tirelessly working to get it under control for the greater good of us all.

Wishing you health and safety as we all get through this. Together.

ABOUT THIS EPISODE:

Have you ever tried to stop an ant without killing it? It’s virtually impossible. They never stop.

Put one to the test someday. Pretend like you’re a kid again, and make a small hill in an ant’s path. Then watch what happens…

The ant will walk up and over the top of the hill without braking.

It doesn’t matter what you put in the ant’s way, it’ll figure out a way around it in order to go where it needs to go. It’ll crawl along the side of a wall, go into a hole, over a tree stump, through the grass—it doesn’t matter. And if it can’t go through something, it will go around it.

An ant will never turn around and walk the other way, no matter what obstacles are in its path.

Try applying this kind of tenacity to your own life. Obviously, you’ll want to use your brain, too (you’re a lot smarter than an ant). But in the determination department, be like an ant.

Refuse to be stopped. Continue overcoming any obstacles in your path. Keep going, make smart decisions, and learn as you go.

The people who make their dreams a reality are the people who patiently persist.

ABOUT THIS EPISODE:

"The best communication occurs when both people are sincere—one sincerely wishing to learn or listen, and the other sincerely wishing to share.”—Jim Rohn, Leading an Inspired Life

The fact that we have evolved as a human species to develop the concept of what we call communication is nothing short of incredible when you stop to think about it. Verbal speech originated half a million years ago. Symbols came along approximately 30,000 years ago. Fast-forward to circa 2018, and here we are—communicating with one another across the globe, using technologies like the internet to connect with one another. Crazy, right?

A lot has happened between the very beginnings communication, to where we are today…

We’ve got radio, audio, and video.

We’ve gone from symbols to Skype.

From face time to FaceTime.

From chiseling text into stone, to tapping out text on the phone.

We have regular books, and we have audiobooks.

The article you’re reading right now is a form of communication.

We’ve even got satellites floating around in space right now, some billion light-years away, all in hopes of making contact—communication—with something we’ve never seen before.

These are all channels of communication that have dramatically transformed our way of life.

But in it’s most intimate form, communication happens with ourselves. The voice in our heads—telling us we’re not good enough, smart enough, or successful enough. Or that very same voice telling us that we are good enough. That we are smart enough. That we are successful enough.

What exactly is communication? In short, communication is the act of transferring information and ideas from one place to another place. And if we plan to live the most meaningful, successful, and fulfilling life we can, then it makes sense to learn to communicate as effectively as possible—both with ourselves as well as with others.

This is where self development comes in…

Self development and communication are two areas of life that are inextricably connected to one another—you really can’t optimize one without the other.

When you listen to this episode, you'll learn 6 ways to elevate your life by elevating your communication.

Do anything over and over again, and sooner or later, you'll turn it into a habit. That's why it's so hard to get back into the gym after you've avoided going for a while... But it's also why it gets easier and easier to KEEP going back to the gym once you finally convince yourself to get back in there. 

Regardless of whether you break the chain or keep your habit-streak going – momentum will always either pull you UP or push you DOWN. 

That's why, whenever we're working on building hard habits of any kind, we want to get as much (positive) momentum going as we possibly can. 

In this episode, you'll learn how to make building even the hardest habits more attractive by deploying a special technique known as "temptation bundling."

The key to determining your "Daily When" depends upon figuring out whether you're a Lark (morning person), Owl (night person), or Third Bird (somewhere in the middle).

  • Get your Self-Help questions answered on the podcast: Email questions@deanbokhari.com
  • Twitter.com/DeanBokhari

ABOUT THIS EPISODE:

The majority of people looking for motivation will wait for something, or someone, to come around and motivate them before they can get up and take action to motivate themselves.

This is the wrong approach.

I operated with this “motivation comes before action” mentality for years before finally realizing that I had it all backwards. I would look for ways to get motivated to workout, to get up early, or to stop procrastinating and do my work. And I’d be motivated about doing these things for a little while, but shortly thereafter, the motivation would fade and I’d stop taking action.

Then I realized that the lifespan of motivation is a lot like the honeymoon phase of a new relationship—it’s really exciting at first, but that feeling doesn’t last. A relationship needs to be tended to, with small and thoughtful actions, in order to sustain itself. Motivation works in a similar way. We need to take small and thoughtful actions to keep the motivation train moving along, or else it’ll lose steam and come to a screeching halt.

This realization led me to a simple discovery, which I now believe is the most important thing you need to know about getting motivated:

Action leads to motivation.

https://www.deanbokhari.com/four-thieves-of-productivity/ | RE-RUN: EP143. 4 Thieves of Productivity (Avoid Them at All Cost)

  • Wanna get your self-improvement questions answered on the podcast? Email them to me here: questions@deanbokhari.com
  • Message me on Twitter @DeanBokhari

ABOUT THIS EPISODE:

“…at any moment in time there can be only ONE Thing, and when that ONE Thing is in line with your purpose and sits atop your priorities, it ill be the most productive thing you can do to launch you toward the best you can be. Actions build on action. Habits build on habit. Success builds on success.” —Gary Keller, Jay Papasan from The ONE Thing

One-half of knowing what you want is knowing what you must give up before you get it. Give up the following four thieves of productivity in order to get more of what you want, and less of what you don’t. Click below to start listening, or scroll down to read the article version instead.

1. INABILITY TO SAY “NO”.

As a rule of thumb, you should avoid saying yes to most things unless they’re connected to your most important goals. If you’re afraid of saying no to someone because it might hurt their feelings, come up with a way to say it that you’re comfortable with. Here’s Seth Godin on saying no: “you can say no with respect, you can say no promptly, and you can say no with a lead to someone who might say yes. But just saying yes because you can’t bear the short-term pain of saying no is not going to help you do the work.” Love it.

2. FEAR OF CHAOS

Shit happens. Messes occur. Wives (and husbands) get angry. These things happen. But it doesn’t mean you should give up on your goals. Chaos is natural. In fact, the more you focus on what you want, the more of it you’ll probably get. That’s okay. In fact, problems are a good thing. When you’ve got problems, it means you’re taking action. You can’t grow unless you take action. And the more action you take, the more problems you’ll face. In fact, one of the biggest differences between productive people and unproductive people is this: when productive people come across a problem, they keep going—they take action. When unproductive people come across a problem, they stagnate—they stop.

Create time blocks to control the chaos in your life and remain as productive as possible. Use your time blocks to work on your most important projects, and protect them with your life. In time, you’ll learn to deal with the chaos in your own unique way. But don’t let chaos control you. YOU control the chaos… by focusing on one thing at a time. One time block at a time.

3. POOR HEALTH HABITS

Poor health — especially poorly managed energy — is one of the most underestimated thieves of productivity. Your health and your success are intertwined with one another and depend on each to survive and thrive. For maximum energy management and productivity, plan your days to include the following:

  1. Meditate / pray for spiritual energy.
  2. Eat right, exercise, and sleep sufficiently for physical energy.
  3. Spend time with friends and family for emotional energy.
  4. Set goals, plan, and calendar for mental energy.
  5. Time block your most important goals and projects for business energy.

4. AN ENVIRONMENT THAT DOESN'T SUPPORT YOUR GOALS.

Did you know that if one of your close friends becomes obese, you’re 57% more likely to become obese [1] as well? Crazy, eh? This is because the people we see and spend time with most tend to set our standards (see: The Law of Averages).

The final thief of productivity is about getting your game up! It’s about raising your standards in every arena of life—your goals, your habits, and your surroundings.

I think Oprah’s got a great little nugget of wisdom when it comes to this: “Surround yourself only with people who are going to lift you higher.”

IT'S ABOUT THE JOURNEY.

Here’s a quick recap of the four thieves of productivity — avoid these bastards at all times, unless you want them to highjack your productivity:

  1. Inability to say “No”
  2. The fear of chaos
  3. Poor health habits
  4. An environment that doesn’t support your goals

https://deanbokhari.com/acton-leads-motivation/ | RE-RUN: EP188. Action Leads to Motivation

The majority of people looking for motivation will wait for something, or someone, to come around and motivate them before they can get up and take action to motivate themselves.

This is the wrong approach.

I operated with this “motivation comes before action” mentality for years before finally realizing that I had it all backwards. I would look for ways to get motivated to workout, to get up early, or to stop procrastinating and do my work. And I’d be motivated about doing these these things for a little while, but shortly thereafter, the motivation would fade and I’d stop taking action.

Then I realized that the lifespan of motivation is a lot like the honeymoon phase of a new relationship—it’s really exciting at first, but that feeling doesn’t last. A relationship needs to be tended to, with small and thoughtful actions, in order to sustain itself. Motivation works in a similar way. We need to take small and thoughtful actions to keep the motivation train moving along, or else it’ll lose steam and come to a screeching halt.

This realization led me to a simple discovery, which I now believe is the most important thing you need to know about getting motivated:

Action leads to motivation.

https://deanbokhari.com/the-guide-to-developing-self-discipline/ | RE-RUN: EP192. "The Guide To Developing Self-Discipline"

The Guide To Developing Self-Discipline If you lookup the definition of self-discipline, you’ll usually see something like this: Self-discipline is the power to get yourself to take action regardless of whether you feel like it or not. Developing self-discipline requires a willingness and capability to act — regardless of your current emotional state.

And all of this is true. But it doesn’t go far enough…

Self-discipline is more than simply doing stuff that you don’t want to do… Behind all of that surface-level stuff, there’s usually a deeper, more meaningful reason why you’re interested in developing self-discipline in the first place…

My definition of self-discipline goes like this: Self-discipline is about self-imposed, deeply personal, intrinsically-motivated behaviors repeated regularly enough such that they become part of your moral fabric, your code of conduct.

Throughout this article/podcast, we’ll be focusing on how to develop self-discipline based on the above definitions. By the time you’re finished, you’ll have three specific actions you can start taking today to develop the disciplines you need to achieve your goals and improve your life.

The Guide To Developing Self-Discipline Available versions: Article | Audio/Podcast

Suppose you decide to discipline yourself to become an early riser.

When you set your alarm clock to wake you up at 5:00AM, you’ve set a disciplined intention to rise at that specific time.

Now, when the alarm goes off the next morning, do you tap the snooze-button, or do you pop out of bed and begin your day?

At this point, some people may say, “But what’s five more minutes?“

Five more minutes means you’ve been unfaithful to yourself… Yourself-disciplined intention—that promise you made to yourself the night before to rise at five—is broken the moment you hit snooze. You’ve started your day with a negative score. And you’ve set the tone for more slips of self-discipline, to let more of the little things slide.

But the little things add up.

Which is why I’m here to say: YES—sometimes you do need to sweat the small stuff…

Because the small stuff prepares you for the big stuff...

DeanBokhari.com • RE-RUN - EP184. 10 Creativity Books You Need to Read | In this (re-run) episode we'll take a look at my all-time favorite creativity books and what makes 'em so special.

ABOUT THIS EPISODE | Subscribe to the podcast on iTunes Increasing your creativity—or developing any sense of creativity in the first place—seems to be hardest when you need it most. Personally, I’d always thought “creativity” was sort of elusive. I thought creative people, like Pablo Picasso, for instance, were blessed with some sort of magical, innate talent that most of us just don’t have. And this is how I’d rationalize why people like Picasso were so much more creative than I was. But, as it turns out, I was dead wrong (kind of.)

You see, most people think Picasso just sat down in front of a canvas and effortlessly cranked out masterpiece after masterpiece all day long, but that’s not how things went down at all. The way Picasso actually painted was much more in-depth. He’d sit down and start at the corner of the canvas with one single stroke of the brush. Then, he’d expand from there, allowing the brush to let him transfer whatever he was envisioning onto the canvas. Sometimes, he’d decide to let an idea take his painting elsewhere. Other times, he’d end up painting something totally different than what he initially envisioned. A few times, he’d start the whole damn thing over again. But, almost every single time, he’d end up with something beautiful.

How did he create so many million-dollar masterpieces? Was he talented? Hell yeah.

Was he “born with it”? Maybe, but people are born with all sorts of talents they neglect to nurture and refine. And that’s the key: cultivation. Picasso cultivated his talent into mastery. He was dedicated to his craft. In other words, he did it often enough to recognize that if he went off the beaten path halfway through a painting, he could take a different route and still end up with a piece of art.

Bottom line? Creativity is neither magical nor mysterious.

Creativity is like a muscle. And if you need help increasing your creativity, then these ten books will show you how to build that muscle up so you can maximize your own creative potential—both personally and professionally. I’ve also listed my own key take-aways from some of these books, as well as my favorite quotes on creativity from each. Hope you dig it!

  1. “The War of Art” by Steven Pressfield

    “Creative work is … a gift to the world and every being in it. Don’t cheat us of your contribution. Give us what you’ve got.”—Steven Pressfield

“The War of Art” will teach you how to break through the blocks every creative runs into from time to time. It certainly did the trick for me. Reading it almost feels like getting a solid kick in the rear from your very wise, very experienced, grandpa. Creatives have to work through the fear of failure, being their own worst critics and a lack of self-confidence. Pressfield also talks about overcoming procrastination and the energy that comes from working on the things you deem to be your true calling.

  • “Flow” by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi

    “Happiness is not something that happens. It is not the result of good fortune or random chance. It is not something that money can buy or power command. It does not depend on outside events, but, rather, on how we interpret them. Happiness, in fact, is a condition that must be prepared for, cultivated, and defended privately by each person. People who learn to control inner experience will be able to determine the quality of their lives, which is as close as any of us can come.” —Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi

(Take another look at the above quote and notice how applicable it is when you replace the word “happiness” with the phrase “increasing your creativity.”) Ever experience that feeling where you totally lose track of time, you feel absolutely unstoppable and your excellent work just seems to effortlessly stream out of you? That’s called a “flow-state.” And in this book, you’ll learn how to bring it about within your own work.

  • “Lateral Thinking” by Edward de Bono

    “Lateral thinking is like the reverse gear in a car. One would never try to drive along in reverse gear the whole time. On the other hand one needs to have it and to know how to use it for maneuverability and to get out of a blind alley.”—Edward de Bono

For some people, the concept of increasing your creativity is sort of like hitting the lottery: There’s a fat chance it’ll happen today, but maybe next time. In “Lateral Thinking,” author Edward de Bono shows us how to align our thinking in a way that actually helps us become more creative. While everyone else is trying to dig the same hole in the same place, this book shows you how to dig a new hole somewhere different.

  • “Steal Like an Artist” by Austin Kleon

“You don’t want to look like your heroes, you want to see like your heroes.”—Austin Kleon

This is a book about permission. It’s about the permission to stop hiding behind your own shadow, the permission to start creating something that actually matters and the permission to stand on the shoulders of giants who came before you and take advantage of their great ideas. The idea isn’t to “steal” other people’s work. (So, don’t do that; stealing is bad.) Just take bits and pieces from other people’s work and make something of your own out of that. If you use people’s stuff to make something of your own, then let them know about it. It’s usually (but not always) flattering.

  • “The Creative Habit” by Twyla Tharp

    ”In order to be creative you have to know how to prepare to be creative.” ”If art is the bridge between what you see in your mind and what the world sees, then skill is how you build that bridge.”—Twyla Tharp

Twyla Tharp is one of the world’s greatest choreographers. In “The Creative Habit,” she tells us that creativity is exactly that—a habit…If we want to go from creating ordinary work to creating extraordinary work, then we need to develop the habits that’ll help us make that a reality.

  • “The Talent Code” by Daniel Coyle

    “Every human skill, whether it’s playing baseball or playing Bach, is created by chains of nerve fibers carrying a tiny electrical impulse— basically, a signal traveling through a circuit. Myelin’s vital role is to wrap those nerve fibers the same way that rubber insulation wraps a copper wire, making the signal stronger and faster by preventing the electrical impulses from leaking out. When we fire our circuits in the right way— when we practice swinging that bat or playing that note— our myelin responds by wrapping layers of insulation around that neural circuit, each new layer adding a bit more skill and speed. The thicker the myelin gets, the better it insulates, and the faster and more accurate our movements and thoughts become.”—Daniel Coyle

In “The Talent Code,” Daniel Coyle, a journalist and reporter, brings us a scientific approach to creativity. In the book, Coyle tells us about a neural insulator called “myelin,” which some neurologists consider to be the key to acquiring skills of every kind… And of course, if you want to level-up your creative output, you’ve gotta level-up your skills. Bottom line? More myelin = creative excellence… Creative excellence in sports. In business. In art. In everything. And if you want to achieve creative excellence, too, then you’ve got to be growing myelin on a regular basis. The best way to do it? 10X the amount of practice you put into becoming the best at what you do. If you’re in sales, call 10X the amount of people you normally do, and you’ll naturally get better and more creative as a result. If you’re a writer, 10X the amount of words you write per day and you’ll naturally get better and more creative as a result. Set goals that are just beyond your reach so that you’ve got no choice to level-up your skills in order to achieve them. That’s how you build more myelin.

  • “Creativity” by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi

    “Creativity is a central source of meaning in our lives for several reasons… First, most of the things that are interesting, important, and human are the results of creativity. We share 98 percent of our genetic makeup with chimpanzees… Without creativity, it would be difficult indeed to distinguish humans from apes.”—Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi

In “Creativity,” Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi schools us on how to leverage flow-states to increase our creativity. In the book, he discusses what he learned after interviewing 91 creative professionals from a wide array of professional endeavors, from astronauts to writers, philosophers and everyone in-between. Here are a few big ideas from the book: Creative people have a thirst to constantly continue learning about their subjects of interest; they never get sick of practicing the fundamentals, and they know how to connect seemingly unrelated ideas together to create something totally new.

  • “Daily Rituals” by Mason Currey

    “Inspiration is for amateurs, ... the rest of us just show up and get to work.”—from “Daily Rituals” by Mason Currey

In this creativity book, the author profiles 250 of the most creative people of modern history. Freud. Orwell. Benjamin Franklin. Maya Angelou. Ayn Rand. All these people had creative habits that helped them gain their notoriety. And in this book, Mason Currey details those elements of their daily lives, from when they wake, to how they work, to the foods they eat. Everything’s covered. This is an awesome coffee table book. Pick it up whenever you need some of the world’s greatest thinkers to inspire you towards increasing your creativity.

  • “Creativity, Inc.” By Ed Catmull

    “It isn’t enough merely to be open to ideas from others. Engaging the collective brainpower of the people you work with is an active, ongoing process. As a manager, you must coax ideas out of your staff and constantly push them to contribute.”—Ed Catmull

This book is about the intersection of where creativity meets commerce. It was written by the co-founder of Pixar, Ed Catmull. The key creativity take-away I walked away with after reading this book was about igniting higher levels of creativity within an organization. I learned that I could inspire my employees to become more creative by fostering an environment that was actually conducive to creativity.

  • “The Originals” by Adam Grant

    “Our companies, communities, and countries don’t necessarily suffer from a shortage of novel ideas. They’re constrained by a shortage of people who excel at choosing the right novel ideas.”—Adam Grant

The actionable insight from this book for me was this: increasing your creativity requires increasing your output. Regardless of what type of work you do, the key to creative genius lays in creating constantly and consistently and in very high quantity. It’s all about volume–those who create the most work increase the odds of creating the best work. Maya Angelou wrote 165 poems, Picasso created over 5,800 works, and 12,000 drawings. Einstein wrote 248 publications. Bottom line? High output —> high creativity.

ABOUT THIS EPISODE: * In this episode, we'll be talking about "Flow," which is a term that author Mihály Csíkszentmihályi uses to describe that feeling of total awesomeness you experience when you're so immersed in an activity (work or otherwise) that you lose track of time and feel like you could just keep on working on it forever because of the enjoyment it brings you to do the work itself. Most of us don't experience Flow as often as we'd like, and most people think it's just something that happens by way of luck. But it's not luck... There's actually a science-backed method to making Flow a part of your daily life, and you're about to learn it... * Book Mentioned: + Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experienceby Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi - Get Book (http://amzn.to/1iXTPd3) - Get Book Summary (http://getflashnotes.com/flow)

DeanBokhari.com • EP166. Feel The Fear, Take Action Anyway

What’s stopping you from taking action on your ideas, dreams, and greatest goals in life?

Are you afraid?

Are you afraid of uncertainty?

Are you afraid you’ll fail and fall flat on your face?

Are you afraid of what might happen if you “leave it all behind” in pursuit of something greater?

Fear… It freezes people in place.

And there’s only one way to avoid becoming frozen in place by fear—we must take action.
Take action

The only way to overcome fear is to cultivate the courage to take action. Some people think that courage means not having fear. But that’s not true.

Courage isn’t about not having fear, it’s about feeling the fear and taking action anyway.—Click to tweet

Benjamin Disraeli said:

“Action may not always bring happiness, but there is no happiness without action.”

Love that.

You know why the classic advice about “getting out of your comfort zone” will always be relevant?

Because most people will choose to remain within their comfort-zones—working jobs they don’t love, staying in relationships with people they don’t love, and doing the same mundane things they don’t love—all in an effort to avoid the short-term discomfort of figuring out how to live a more fulfilling life.

But doesn’t that lead to regret?

And the pain of regret weighs tons when compared to the short-term pain of discipline, which weighs just ounces.

What if you developed the discipline of taking deliberate action on what you desire and deserve out of life? How could your life be different?

How much more could you get out of it if you took more action?

I know it change my own life dramatically once I decided to STOP dreaming about my dreams, and to START taking action on them.

We’re not even capable of creating a dream about something if we’re not capable of creating it in reality.

Yes—dare to dream. But back it up, also, by daring to take action.

Because the distance between our dreams and reality is bridged by developing the habit of doing—the habit, of taking action.

Action always beats intention.
What can you take action on?

What’s one thing that you’ve been wanting to take action on in your life, but have been putting off over and over again for whatever reason?

Is it a phone call? A job application? A serious conversation with someone that matters?

If you’ve been waiting for the “right time” to take action on something important, bear in mind that there is no such thing as a “right time”—circumstances will rarely align as we want them to align.

Challenge yourself today, to choose ONE thing you’ve been wanting to take action on—then do it. Make the phone call. Start the application. Schedule the conversation.

Don’t wait until you’re ready to take action. Instead, take action so you’re ready. —Click to tweet

ABOUT THIS EPISODE: * In this episode, we'll be talking about "Flow," which is a term that author Mihály Csíkszentmihályi uses to describe that feeling of total awesomeness you experience when you're so immersed in an activity (work or otherwise) that you lose track of time and feel like you could just keep on working on it forever because of the enjoyment it brings you to do the work itself. Most of us don't experience Flow as often as we'd like, and most people think it's just something that happens by way of luck. But it's not luck... There's actually a science-backed method to making Flow a part of your daily life, and you're about to learn it... * Book Mentioned: + Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experienceby Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi - Get Book (http://amzn.to/1iXTPd3) - Get Book Summary (http://getflashnotes.com/flow)

DeanBokhari.com • Muhammad Ali: The Psychology of Greatness.

Muhammad Ali was the only person I'd never met to pass (since Michael Jackson) that genuinely made me sad. With MJ, I was sad because I grew up on his music. With Muhammad Ali, I'm sad because, like millions of people around the world, I looked up to him. And I hoped to meet him one day. Unfortunately that obviously won't be happening. So, here's the best way I know of to commemorate his passing: Back in November 2015, I published an episode that detailed one of the most important contributors to Muhammad Ali's massively successful boxing career: his mindset... More specifically, his Growth-Mindset. I'm re-publishing this episode today to commemorate his passing, which was on June 4th 2016. Hope it inspires you to reach for greatness, just like Muhammad Ali did throughout his entire life.

ABOUT THIS EPISODE:

  • I'm no relationship counselor, but earlier this year the wifey + I came up with 11 things we think will help us maintain a happy relationship. We think they're awesome. Hopefully you will, too
  • At the beginning of every year, I like to sit down and do a year-end reflection of the previous year… I think about the wins, the challenges, the goals or areas of my life that I’d like to build upon as I move forward into another new year, and any new goals I’d like to pursue in the year ahead.

One of the things that made this past yearly reflection especially enriching, was the inclusion of my wife, Amna and our newborn, Nora. (I’d always done my yearly reflection totally solo up until now.) So in addition to all of the stuff I usually do during my yearly reflection and goal-setting session, this year I worked on a list of ongoing relationship goals with Amna. We ended up with 11 in total. And we posted them up near our bathroom mirror, so we can glance at them every morning while we brush our teeth.

As I write this, it’s been a little over a month since we started practicing these new ongoing goals (which are more like habits, or mutual commitments than goals). And I think they’ve been incredibly helpful in bringing us closer together as a couple and crushing conflicts before they arise. Here’s our list:[continue reading at http://www.meaningfulhq.com/happy-relationship.html]

MeaningfulHQ.com/strategic-procrastination.html | EP127: Strategic Procrastination - How To Succeed by Procrastinating on Purpose * Wanna get your self-improvement questions answered on the podcast? Submit them here: MeaningfulHQ.com/contact.html or email them to me here: questions@deanbokhari.com

ABOUT THIS EPISODE:

“But surprisingly, as I’ve studied originals, I’ve learned that the advantages of acting quickly and being first are often outweighed by the disadvantages. It’s true that the early bird gets the worm, but we can’t forget that the early worm gets caught.” —Adam Grant, from Originals (Get the full book summary here: getflashnotes.com/orginals)

  • This episode is about the power of "strategic procrastination." Obviously, advocating procrastination flies in the face of conventional productivity wisdom. And for good reason. It’s not always productive to procrastinate. But there are certain situations during which it can be not just productive—but even conducive to success—to procrastinate. And those are the situations we’ll be talking about today.

MeaningfulHQ.com • EP114: Simplifying Success: "How Do I Get Motivated and Achieve My New Year's Resolutions With Simplicity?" * Wanna get your self development questions answered on the podcast? Submit them here: MeaningfulHQ.com/contact.html or email them to me here: questions@deanbokhari.com

ABOUT THIS EPISODE: Q/A EPISODE:

“Hello Dean, I’ve been binge-listening to your podcast for a few days and I’m loving your insights on productivity and meaningful work. My self-development question for you is on simplifying my way to success in the coming year. I want to adopt a simple yet effective system for achieving my goals and maintain my motivation to stay focused every day. But what I struggle with most is, that I can’t get myself to follow or stick with a complicated system like GTD. I know GTD works, but I really just want something simple. My question: If there was one single productivity tool you would recommend to get myself in order this coming year, what would it be?”

—(Question submitted by: Eileen E.)

In my 10 years of studying self-development material on topics like human motivation, productivity, and peak performance; I’ve only ever come across one single productivity tool that’s been reliable enough to recommend oner and over again…

The tool I’m talking about is

  • more flexible than anything I’ve come across,
  • is incredibly portable,
  • and it never—ever—runs out of batteries.

What’s this magical piece of productivity technology I’m speaking of?

Today I’m super-excited to introduce a new content line-up to the mix—and we’ll be calling it the FlashClass — Big ideas from popular books, condensed into actionable audio lessons, about 5-minutes in length.

Each FlashClass is …

  • designed to help you get more knowledge in less time
  • focuses on a single big idea from a popular business or self-help book from the getflashnotes.com library
  • made to make hard-to-grasp ideas easy and actionable

FlashClass: Protein Powder, The China Study, and Turning Cancer Off * Book: The China Study * Category: Health

Today’s FlashClass is inspired by The China Study, and it’s all about protein consumption…

In case you’ve never heard about the book, The China Study is the largest epidemiological study ever conducted. In a nutshell: 650,000 researchers catalogued and analyzed the death rates for 880 million Chinese citizens—96% of China’s population. Dr. Colin Campbell then, took the findings from the study, and wrote this book so that people everywhere could benefit from the findings… Especially those of us in the western world, who are amongst the un-healthiest people on the planet.

MeaningfulHQ.com/dont-think-outside-the-box.html • EP111: The Boxed Life * Wanna get your self development questions answered on the podcast? Submit them here: MeaningfulHQ.com/contact.html or email them to me here: questions@deanbokhari.com

ABOUT THIS EPISODE: Almost every day, for four excruciating years, I was living in a box…

I woke up to a little digital box sitting next to my bed stand… After slamming the snooze button on my little box, I’d finally rise, get ready, and head downstairs to eat a box breakfast.

Then I’d climb into my box car. Sit in traffic for 3 hours with a bunch of otherboxes. Drive to a big box building. And walk into my box of a cubicle.

Then I’d work within that box for a few hours; breaking every now and then forbox-related activities of various kinds—like the bathroom box, or the break roombox—until it was time to eat my box lunch in a box cafeteria with my co-workers who were also eating out of their very own boxes.

After lunch, I’d head back to my cubicle box to do more unexciting work—which sometimes involved shifting from one box to another or using the phone box to call other people in other boxes to talk about boring box things.

Sometimes though, I’d get so stressed out about catching up on all of my unexciting work, that I would stay in my cubicle box and eat my box lunch while working or talking on my phone box.

Obviously the boxed life wasn’t for me… Which is why I chose to leave it behind. But hundreds of thousands of people in the US, and millions around the world, are still living the boxed life… Maybe, you’re listening to (or reading) this right now, realizing that you’re living in a box… And if that makes you feel like you’re wasting away you’re life, then I’d highly suggest you decide to do something about it before it’s too late.

It never seizes to amaze me, that people can spend 65% of their waking hours working in a box building, in a box cubicle, only to be told that they should “really try to think outside the box.”

Are you kidding me?

Think outside the box?

How the hell could anyone be expected to think outside the box when everything they do is inside the box?”

They live in a box

They work in a box

they even shit in a box

And then they’re told to THINK outside the box!?

NO. You cannot “think” outside the box if you live your life inside of one. Click-to-tweet

Meaningfulhq.com/i-get-to.html  //  How much of your day is spent doing things you have to do (as opposed to the things you get to do.) In my experience, the people who’ve built the most fulfilling + successful lifestyle are those that spend the majority of their time in the “I get to” zone ... and this isn’t because they’ve gotten really good at delegating all of their "have to dos" (although it's true to a certain extent) but because they’ve REDEFINED the way they perceive their lives.

They go from "I have to" to "I get to"

Meaningfulhq.com/should-you-share-your-goals.html // 086: Should You Share Your Goals?

  • Q: “Should I share my goals, or would it be better to keep them private?” —(Question submitted by Roy L.)

Your goals—to share, or not to share? Short answer: it depends on the goal.

Personally, I always used to share my goals with anyone who’d listen …

..But I quickly realized this wasn’t the smartest approach because of the sheer number of individuals that love drinking Haterade (otherwise known as: haters, dream killers, negative people, pessimists, etc.)

So, I ended up modifying my goal-sharing approach and splitting my goals up into two distinct categories...

George Bernard Shaw once said, “Life isn’t about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.”

So, what’s the best way to go about “creating yourself”?

I believe it begins by creating a vision.

Everything big begins with a compelling vision—a clear mental picture of what you want.
People who see more clearly take more bold steps.
If you’re in a dark room and you can’t see very well, you take little small baby steps.

Why? Because you’re not sure. Things are dark. Unclear.

The more sure you become, the more confident you become, the bigger your steps. The more quickly you can get what you want.

But it doesn’t happen without a clear compelling vision. We all need vision.

“We met at Starbucks.”

That’s what I’d tell people when they asked about how I met my girlfriend (now, wife.)

Little did they know, I was too embarrassed to tell them we met on Match.com.

I’d pepper lots of other little details (ehem: lies) about what I said and how I approached her, but my story about where we met (Starbucks) never changed.

I was even specific about the exact location—“We met at the Starbucks in downtown Brea, right next to the Corner Bakery.”

I did my best to keep my wife’s friends away from my friends at mutual gatherings, too. This is because she was honest with her friends and family about how we met.

And then there was the wedding…

We got married on a beautiful yacht, overlooking Newport Beach, CA. Everything about it was better than expected. Except for how much I was freaking out about my friends potentially finding out that I lied to them about how I met the woman I’m marrying. When we were planning seating arrangements, I had to make sure that my friends and family were on one side of the yacht, and my wife’s were on the other. Except of course, for the one’s on my wife’s side who promised to maintain my Starbucks “decoy story.”

It took me another two years after the wedding to tell my friends and family that I actually met my wife online. (And my dad still doesn’t know.)

I joke about it all now, because it seems so foolish that I’d ever hidden it in the first place. But truth be told, looking for love online is one of the most sensible things a single person can do for themselves…

I mean, where else can you find and drill down on exactly what you’re looking for in an ideal mate? At most reputable online dating services (not Tinder), you can filter from race, religion, and spiritual inclination; down to habits, ambitions, and geographical proximity.

In fact, according to Aziz Ansari’s new book, Modern Romance, over one-third of couples who got married in the US between 2005–2012 met each other on an online dating site. (And these numbers have likely shot up exponentially over the subsequent years thereafter)

That said, Ansari and his co-author Eric Klinenberg—the social scientist who helped him write this surprisingly well-researched book—say that social stigmas are still quite prevalent among people because they’re afraid to admit that they met their partner online … Apparently, I wasn’t the only one who felt the need to make up a “decoy story” about how I met my mate.

In this book summary/article/episode, we’ll be going over a few knowledge bombs gleaned from Modern Romance, including:

  • online dating etiquette,
  • 3 steps to crafting the perfect text message, and
  • why too many choices can be a bad thing.

http://MeaningfulHQ.com // At some point in Bruce Lee’s insanely successful and inspiring career, he sustained an injury that point him out of commission for more than just a little while…

While he was in recovery, though, he used his timely wisely. He read tons and tons of books about life and the universe. He studied some of the great philosophers. He expanded his knowledge so much, that it led to a new outlook on life.

His new way of looking at things led to several books. Today, we’ll explore a few of the knowledge bombs from one such book, titled Wisdom For The Way

http://MeaningfulHQ.com  //  EP081: Is It Okay To Copy? - In This Episode, We'll Be Sharing 3 Knowledge Bombs from "Steal Like An Artist: 10 Things Nobody Told You About Being Creative" by Austin Kleon

View Details

http://www.meaningfulhq.com/decision-fatigue-no-matter-what-commitments.html Use “No Matter What” Commitments to Strengthen Willpower, Defeat Decision Fatigue, and Motivate Yourself Here’s what the average morning scenario looked like for me before I learned how to keep my commitments:

  • It’s 5:00AM.
  • I’m startled awake by the sound of sirens ringing so damn loud it feels like a firetruck is plowing through my brain.
  • I realize the sirens aren’t coming from a firetruck—they’re coming from the alarm-clock app on my iPhone.
  • I continue lying there, debating with myself about whether I should hit the gym or hit the snooze button.
  • I choose to tap the snooze button for “just 5 more minutes of sleep.”
  • 45 minutes later, I wake up, forgo the gym, and head to work.

This pattern continued on for longer than I care to talk about…

The thing is though; I really, really wanted to stop hitting snooze and start waking up earlier to workout, but I just couldn’t “motivate” myself to do it.

So, there I was. Lying in my bed at the crack of dawn. Alarm clock blaring; moment of truth dawning upon me: should I wake my ass up and workout?—or should I stay in bed, rationalizing to myself that I’d go to the gym after work, even if I knew I probably wouldn’t?

Most of the time, I’d lie in bed, going back and forth in my head about whether I should get up or not… Do I really have enough time to workout and get ready for work? Will I get to work on time? What if I don’t have the energy to push myself in the gym this early in the morning?

Next thing I know, I’m back in la-la land, snoozing away until the last possible minute before I absolutely had to get up and get ready for work.

And of course, even though I told myself I’d hit the gym afterwards, I’d end up skipping almost every time.

Not only was I neglecting my physical health. But I was also neglecting my mental health.

Something needed to change...

http://www.meaningfulhq.com/the-power-of-belief.html // Episode #72: The Power of Belief "The law of your mind is this: You will get a reaction or response from your subconscious mind according to the nature of the thought or idea you hold in your conscious mind." - Dr. Joseph Murphy (Author, The Power of Your Subconscious Mind)

One of my favorite Self-Improvement books ever written, is "The Power of Your Subconscious Mind" by Dr. Joseph Murphy.

(... Yes, I'm fully aware of the sketchy title. Don't let it fool you. This isn't some "Secret" non-sense.")

Back to the book... Here's what Dr. Murphy says about believing in yourself:

“The law of your mind is the law of belief itself"

To put it another way: what we believe makes us who we are.

Having said that, it’s only natural to ask yourself the following question:

“What do I believe?”

The famous psychology writer William James observed that whatever people expect to be true will be so, regardless of whether the object of their belief exists.

In the Western world, we tend to place a lot of value on “the truth” (i.e. "I’ll believe it when I see it") — and this is no doubt super-important — but this paradigm pales in comparison to the power of belief, and how much of an impact it has on shaping our lives (both for better and for worse.)

  • The bottom line is this: whatever you give your subconscious—false or true, good or bad—it will register as fact.

That said, you might want to avoid joking about misfortune and be more mindful about certain types of self-deprecating humor… because the subconscious has no sense of humor.

A mentally disturbed person and a mentally stable person share the same power of belief; the mentally stable/sane people are different from the mentally disturbed/insane only in that they retain objectivity about their beliefs. When a man in a hospital says he's Elvis Presley, he's not “making it up,” he knows he's Elvis.

We need to use this same power to help us achieve our own goals in life + business ...

Beginning right now, make the decision to begin using this power (of belief) to stop wishing and start knowing that you're:

  • a business genius, or
  • the perfect spouse, or that
  • you've got the physique of an Adonis.
  • (or, obviously, whatever else you want to do, be or have in life + business.)

The trick is to choose to know something that seems almost crazy, but not quite—something that seemed impossible to us a year ago, yet at the same time would really be something that fulfills our deepest desire.

ACTIONABLE INSIGHT:

  • After you’re done reading this, take out a sheet of paper and write “what do I believe?” up top.
  • Now, apply this question ("what do I believe?") to each dimension of your life — physical, mental, emotional, spiritual — and write down your answer. For example, if you were to apply it to the emotional area of your life, you might ask yourself something like this: "what do I believe about my level of confidence when it comes to public speaking, and persuading people through conversation?"
  • Next, take a look in the mirror and repeat what you wrote down… does it empower you? Inspire you? Get you excited about your life? If not, it might be a good idea to re-evaluate your beliefs.

http://www.MeaningfulHQ.com // Episode 069: Overcoming Procrastination - 3 Unconventional Methods That Work

There’s this Dutch survey that says 95% of people are chronic procrastinators.

I think the other 5% are liars.

EVERYONE procrastinates sometimes. Some people are just better at containing it than others.

"How do I get over my bad habit of procrastination?"

That question - or some variation of it - is one of the most common queries about the topic of productivity ... And it'll probably stay that way for another thousand years — or until we all becomesuper productive transhumanist robo-peeps — whichever comes first.

We’ve all got our own little reasons for procrastinating…

  • I've got this make-it-or-break-it project to work on right now... BUT FIRST, I've gotta manually create an index in my Moleskine for all my blog post ideas.
  • My taxes are due tomorrow... BUT FIRST, I should probably clean up the kitchen; it's a total mess in here.
  • I've gotta write + publish this article about the 10 reasons why Bruce Jenner is a total weirdo... BUT FIRST, let me catch up on some 'House of Cards' real quick.

And it goes on and on ... Until you catch yourself and consciously decide to stop the train and get off in favor of what needs to get done RIGHT NOW.

Some of us can jump off the procrastination train and get to work immediately ...

The vast majority however, end up flying into a shiny but non-essential task like a moth in a bright room... Next thing they know, they've totally lost track of what was supposed to have gotten done that day.

Any of the above sound familiar?

If yes, then stay with me ... because you, my friend, are about to learn some very unconventional (and super powerful) methods for getting over procrastination. Including a particularly interesting method that involves the power of — get ready for it — “positive procrastination.”

But we'll talk more about that in tip #2.

For now, let’s dive into the first method (before you decide to procrastinate on reading this article.)

1. Never Be Prepared.

Here’s an example of a reason I always used to come up with to rationalize my own procrastination problem: “I’m a perfectionist” or, “it’s gotta be perfect.”

This of course, was just a pretty way for me to avoid admitting my fear of failure.

You and I both know it’s never ever the perfect time or place to do something.

Wanna know how I overcame this problem?

  • First, I realized that the biggest thing holding me back from accomplishing the things I wanted most out of life was my obsessive attachment to perfection.
  • Next, I realized that the reason I called myself a “perfectionist” was because I was afraid of what might happen if I failed at something (what would they say?)
  • Finally, I came to the realization that I can never be fully prepared for anything in life. But I can always be ready.

And that became my motto: “I’m never prepared, but I’m always ready.”

Never prepared. Always ready.

Same goes for you.

  • METHOD #1: NEVER BE PREPARED (Be ready instead.)

The next two tips and “hacks” come from the habits of unintentional efficiency experts of the past.

QUICK NOTE: DON'T PROCRASTINATE ON READING FINISHING THIS ARTICLE, DAMN IT! No, you won’t “read this later.” All of us over-estimate our capabilities. We commit to dinners and events 3 months from now, thinking that we’ll have more free time in March than we did in January. Does that ever happen? Not for me. At least not often enough. If you convince your brain that you’ll read this later, what will happen is this: it’ll just get buried along with that other pile of shit you tell yourself you’ll do later. But this is not shit. This is your life. Your beautiful, totally awesome and meaningful life. Do not let your dependance on future time derail you from experiencing your life to the max. If nothing else has worked for you so far, this little list of tips will... Believe that and you’ve already won half the battle.

2. The Power of Positive Procrastination.

Robert Benchley, a humorist + writer for The New Yorker, once wrote an essay in which he explained how he was able to develop the self-discipline to everything below in one sitting:

  • read a scientific article about tropical fish,
  • build a bookshelf,
  • arrange books on said shelf, and
  • respond to a letter from a friend that had been sitting on his desk for 20 years.

According to Benchley, all he had to do was write up a to-do list for the week and put the aforementioned tasks below his top priority… which was to write an article.

In his own words, Benchley wrote:

“The secret of my incredible energy and efficiency in getting work done is a simple one … The psychological principle is this: anyone can do any amount of work, provided it isn’t the work he is supposed to be doing at that moment.”

Translation: procrastinators tend to avoid doing one task by doing another, and very rarely do they ever sit still.

  • METHOD #2: USE THE POWER OF POSITIVE PROCRASTINATION. (Shoot for the moon, land amongst the stars.)

3. The Nothing Alternative.

A novelist named Raymond Chandler pioneered “The Nothing Alternative” as a method of defense against procrastinating on his daily prose. Chandler couldn’t commit himself to cranking out 250 words every 15 minutes like writer Anthony Trollope. So he decided to literally wait around for inspiration to strike…

Personally, I find that inspiration never strikes while waiting around. Instead, I’ve found that inspiration strikes when I’ve cultivated a habit of consistency — to work, to write, to record — every single day. In the beginning, the work sucks a lot and often. But the more you do it, the better you become at it.

But this isn’t the kind of “waiting around” Raymond Chandler used to do.

His method of “waiting around for inspiration” was to set aside 4 hours every morning and give himself an ultimatum: Write, or do nothing at all.

In his own words, Chandler said this about writers who suffer from procrastination:

“He [the writer] doesn’t have to write, and if he doesn’t feel like it, he shouldn’t try. He can look out of the window or stand on his head or writhe on the floor, but he is not to do any other positive thing, not read, write letters, glance at magazine, or write checks.”

[…]

“Write or nothing. It’s the same principle as keeping order in a school. If you make the pupils behave, they will learn something just to keep from being bored. I find it works. Two very simple rules, a. you don’t have to write. b. you can’t do anything else. The rest comes of itself.”

That’s The Nothing Alternative, right there, and you can use it on pretty much any task to make procrastination a problem of the past.

Your own work might not be as simple and clearly defined as Chandler’s, but you can certainly benefit from the clarity that comes from setting aside the time to focus on your ONE most important thing.

To try this out for yourself, figure out your most important goal for tomorrow morning and set aside 90 minutes of totally un-interrupted time to focus on that goal. No email. No smart phone. No non-sense. No Facebook, either. Shut-down your wifi if you need to. This is your time to turn it up to high gear and fucking focus.

  • METHOD #3: USE THE NOTHING ALTERNATIVE. (Do or die.)

Quick recap: 3 Unconventional Methods For Overcoming Procrastination1 #1. Never Be Prepared.

#2. Use The Power of Positive Procrastination.

How To Focus

  • The average office worker unlocks their phone about 150 times an hour, (and checks email about 30 times an hour.)
  • The average person's attention span is 8.25 seconds. That's less than a God damn goldfish. (We're not too far behind -- goldfish are clocking in at 9 seconds.)
  • Right now as you're reading this article, you've probably got several other tabs open in your browser.

All of the above are the result of technology...

Wasn't technology supposed to make our lives easier?

Wasn't it supposed to help us focus more? Do more? Be more?

... Guess not.

In today's episode of the Meaningful Show podcast, you're going to learn a simple strategy that will help you learn how to focus and get things done... and not just any old thing; but the most important things.

http://www.meaningfulhq.com/weight-loss-and-willpower.html

Meaningful Show, Episode #66: Weight-Loss and Willpower: Every week, there's a new weight loss pill or "proven method" to fat loss being peddled by some sketchy character in an Under Armour tank top. Maybe you've even fallen for their crap and pulled the trigger on whatever magic pill or piece of exercise equipmentthey had for sale at 2:00am on a Wednesday night.

This is NOT that.

In fact, it's the total opposite of a "magic" solution to weight loss... It's a scientific solution to weight loss.

Recently, I came across a pile of science-backed research on weight loss while I was reading a fascinating book called "Willpower". After sifting through hundreds of experiments about weight loss and willpower, here's what the authors recommend to anyone who's ready to start taking this whole weight loss thing seriously:

If you're serious about controlling your weight, you need the discipline to follow these three rules:

1. Never go on a diet.

2. Never vow to give up chocolate or any other food.

3. Whether you're judging yourself or judging others, never equate being overweight with having weak willpower.

Here's some more food for thought from the authors of "Willpower":

"You may not have kept your resolution to lose ten pounds this year, but that doesn't mean you should take up a diet or swear off sweets. And you certainly shouldn't lose faith in your ability to accomplish other feats, because being overweight is not a telltale sign of weak willpower, even if most people think so..."

Yah wanna figure out how to stop binging on burgers, Big Gulps, and other fat-boy foods?

Listen in on today's episode of the podcast to find out about the research behind weight loss and willpower, and how to use it to your advantage in order to get that gut back in check, once and for all.

  • Ben Decker is the author of "Communicate to Influence: How To Inspire Your Audience to Action" (co-authored with his wife, Kelly Decker)
  • Get 'Communicate To Influence' on Amazon: http://goo.gl/DtVoan

BOOK DESCRIPTION: "The gold standard for communication training programs."
--USA Today

Business communication sucks. At each meeting and presentation, we are inundated with information, leaving us thirsting for inspiration. Sure, we will check off an action item because we have to . . . but what if we were actually inspired to do something? What if we were so moved that we wanted to do it?

Leaders must earn the license to lead. Not by expertise, authority, or title alone, but by influence. In Communicate to Influence, you will learn the secrets of the Decker Method -- a framework that has been perfected over the past 36 years. Ben and Kelly Decker add fresh insights to these proven principles so that you can ignite change and inspire action. Discover:

  • The Five White Lies of Communicating: learn which barriers prevent you from getting better
  • The Communicator's Roadmap: use a tool to visually chart what type of communication experience you create
  • The Behaviors of Trust: align what you say with how you say it to better connect with your audience
  • The Decker Grid: shift your message from self-centered, all about me content to relevant, audience-centered content that drives action

You are called to communicate well. Not only on the main stage, under bright lights, but every time you speak with your colleagues, your clients, and other stakeholders. It's time to learn how. Stop informing. Start inspiring.

BEN DECKER & KELLY DECKER are the leading experts in the field of business communication. They consult on messaging, cultivate executive presence among the leadership of Fortune 500 companies and startups alike, and regularly deliver keynotes to large audiences. Together, they run Decker Communications, a global firm that trains and coaches tens of thousands of executives a year. Ben and Kelly live in the San Francisco Bay Area, where they constantly test and refine communication techniques with their most demanding audience, their three boys.

This marks the first episode of a new series here on the podcast: Meaningful Mondays.

These new Meaningful Monday episodes will usually be shorter and faster-paced than my interviews and audiobook summaries. I decided to start Meaningful Mondays because I thought about how de-motivating Monday mornings can be for so many people...

Especially if you're punching the clock every morning at a job that doesn't fulfill you.

My hope is that this new addition to the show can give you something positive, powerful, and inspiring to start your week with.

Here's the first of what I hope to be many Meaningful Monday episodes, and it's inspired by an old Jim Rohn speech I used to listen to whenever I felt like I might be making excuses for not bringing my best on a daily basis; whenever I was faking it, and perhaps not being the best "me" that I possibly can be (at work, at home, at the gym, anywhere). I hope you enjoy listening to this episode. But more importantly, I hope you do something with it.

Transcript *This transcript may contain grammatical errors, because it was transcribed directly from my recording... so please be gentle on me if it's not perfect :-)

How easy is it to get up in the morning when you know you're not doing all that it takes?

Not very easy at all… You can just lay there awake thinking — oh "what’s a few more minutes in bed, it won’t matter much anyway"

WRONG — it does matter. It will matter.

NOW, how easy is it to get up in the morning when you're pouring it on, doing the best you can, anxious to get going to make progress toward your dreams.

it's a whole different story.

when you're resting to renew your reserves it's much different than

resting to avoid your day

when your psyched up and excited for your life,

when you're excited for what you plan to accomplish for the day,

it's amazing you'll wake up before the alarm clock even tries to startle you awake

your successes fuel your ambition

your successes give you extra energy

your successes pave the way for more success

it's the snowball effect with one success you're excited to meet another

and another and another… and pretty soon

the disciplines that were so difficult in the beginning,

the disciplines that got you going are now part of your philosophy.

How do you know when you're successful?

Do you have to be a millionaire?

NO,

all we ask of you is that you earn all that you possibly can,

if you earn 10,000 a year and that's the best you

can do that's enough...

God and everything else will see to it that you're OK

the key is to just do the best you can

if it's ten thousand a year — wonderful.

if it’s a hundred thousand a year — wonderful.

if it's a million a year — wonderful.

it doesn't matter if it’s $10,000 a year or a million a year

it doesn't matter — as long as you've done the best you possibly can...

EARN the most you possibly can,

BE the most you possibly can,

and here's why: the essence of life is GROWTH,

the essence of life is growth--to do the best you can!

… and here's what's interesting — humans are the only life form that will do LESS than they possibly can,

humans are the only life form that will settle for less,

every other life for me except human beings drive to its maximum capacity...

how tall a tree grow?

as tall as it possibly can!

you never heard a tree growing as half as high is it could,

no, trees don't grow half, trees send their roots down as deep as possible,

stretch their limbs up as high as possible,

produce every leaf possible, and every fruit possible,

as a matter a fact...

you never heard of the human physically growing half... we keep growing until we’re done...

now that's a part of life we can't control,

it's genetically coded and that's probably why we keep growing 'til we’re done,

because we can't control that part,

it's the rest of the growing that we control,

the growing of our minds--the expansion of our minds that

we CAN control, and that's what tends to get away from us.

All life forms inherently strive to their MAX EXCEPT for human beings...

Now why wouldn't human beings strive to their maximum possibility?

Here's why: because we've been given the dignity of choice.

Choice makes us different than alligators and trees and birds.

The dignity of choice makes us different than all other life forms...

.. and here's the choice —— to become PART of what we could be; enough to get by...

OR to become ALL that we can BE...

my best advice for you is to CHOOSE the ALL.

Earn all you can,

make all the friends you can,

read as many books as you can,

develop as many skills as you can,

see as much as possible, DO as much as possible,

make as much fortune as possible, give as much away as possible...

THE MAX — there’s no life like it! — I'm telling you, once I got on track I've never looked back.

Pick up the challenge, go for it, take the best of the two “easy’s"

take the route of "it's easy to get ahead”, "it's easy to do all you can”, “it’s easy to succeed”, “it’s easy to have financial freedom"

the more you do, the more you get.

So the two primary benefits of positive reinforcement are:

1: to build good habits, and

2: to create more energy to fuel your ambitions, your desires, your achievements.

How can you isolate what's working for you, and what isn’t?

how can you make sure that you’re reinforcing your positive disciplines?

Well if it isn't apparent — easy to see right away,

if what you're doing is happening in such small increments that you're not sure if you're on track,

then you need to be writing it down,

you need to keep a journal anyway,

but if you really aren't sure that what you’re doing is making measurable progress,

you need to keep a written record,

you need to write down everything that may be relevant in your day--what you did,

who you saw, what you felt; how it may or may not affect you now and in the future...

The best way to track your activities at the day is to write them down

the best way to track your activities of the week is to write them down,

the best way to analyze your progress through the year is to have written it down…

WHY?

So you can look back on it.

Because by keeping a written record of your life you will be more accountable,

by putting into writing the action steps you have planned you will easily see what works and what doesn’t.

Most people just try to get through the day—

never writing anything down,

never really keeping track of their progress along the way

never really knowing if they are doing all they can to reach their goals,

to drive their ambition.

But gifted people learn to get FROM the day,

they don't let a day end without picking up some valuable experience, some emotional content,

Some idea that might positively affect their future

to get the most from the day.

To learn the most from a day you need to be able to reflect on the day.

in order to reflect on the day you need to do something that day that deserves to be reflected on,

pablo picasso said that “Action is the foundational key to all success.”

Bob Dylan said “A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and goes to bed at night and in between does what he wants to do.”

So, how do you know when YOU are successful?

The day you get up and spend most of your time taking action towards something you’ve decided on your own is worth pursuing for its own sake —and then the very same evening of that very same day—climbing into your bed with a pen and a pad, ready jot something down worth reflecting on tomorrow.

10% Happier: How I Tamed the Voice in My Head, Reduced Stress Without Losing My Edge, and Found Self-Help That Actually Works–A True Story

BOOK DESCRIPTION: Nightline anchor Dan Harris embarks on an unexpected, hilarious, and deeply skeptical odyssey through the strange worlds of spirituality and self-help, and discovers a way to get happier that is truly achievable. After having a nationally televised panic attack on Good Morning America, Dan Harris knew he had to make some changes. A lifelong nonbeliever, he found himself on a bizarre adventure, involving a disgraced pastor, a mysterious self-help guru, and a gaggle of brain scientists. Eventually, Harris realized that the source of his problems was the very thing he always thought was his greatest asset: the incessant, insatiable voice in his head, which had both propelled him through the ranks of a hyper-competitive business and also led him to make the profoundly stupid decisions that provoked his on-air freak-out… We all have a voice in our head. It’s what has us losing our temper unnecessarily, checking our email compulsively, eating when we’re not hungry, and fixating on the past and the future at the expense of the present. Most of us would assume we’re stuck with this voice – that there’s nothing we can do to rein it in – but Harris stumbled upon an effective way to do just that. It’s a far cry from the miracle cures peddled by the self-help swamis he met; instead, it’s something he always assumed to be either impossible or useless: meditation. After learning about research that suggests meditation can do everything from lower your blood pressure to essentially rewire your brain, Harris took a deep dive into the underreported world of CEOs, scientists, and even marines who are now using it for increased calm, focus, and happiness. 10% Happier takes readers on a ride from the outer reaches of neuroscience to the inner sanctum of network news to the bizarre fringes of America’s spiritual scene, and leaves them with a takeaway that could actually change their lives.

SHOW NOTES: * How to wake up early and workout: 7 simple steps to make waking up and working out a sustainable habit for life. * In previous episodes of the podcast — namely, Designing Your Morning Ritual, and How to Make New Year's Resolutions Stick — I’ve talked about how much I love waking up and working out. The reasons for this are many, including the research-driven data that shows how exercising in the morning actually gives us MORE energy, as opposed to the widely touted myth that working out early drains us of energy.

Again, the reverse is true -- though not for every one, at least for most of us -- not only does working out in the morning help us become more energetic, it can actually set a powerful series of events in motion to help you create more productive days, weeks, months, and years for yourself. * The Endorphin Effect: If you wake up early and workout vigorously for a minimum of 45 minutes or more, then a naturally-produced chemical known as Endorphin begins to surge through your body, giving you a natural high (also known as “runner’s high). This chemical kicks into your body because it’s meant to mask the pain your putting your muscles through when you lift weights or do hard core cardio. (Side note: when you’re lifting weights, you’re basically ripping and tearing your muscle fibers… the reason why muscles actually grow in size isn’t because of the lifting of weights, it’s because of the eating of foods. When you tear up your muscle fibers in the gym, you need to put nutrition-dense foods back into your body in order to give them a reason to re-build… and if you want them to come back larger, it’s best to optimize your diet accordingly.) * The Dopamine Effect: Now, once you’ve gotten out of the gym, you probably feel really good about yourself for having gotten up early and workout out. This then, gives you small doses of yet another naturally occurring chemical in your body, known as Dopamine, which gives you the feelings of positive reinforcement for having done a good job. * As The Day Goes On: Now you’re in your car and headed to work feeling like a champion. You already know that no one else in your peer group got up as early as you did to workout, so that just makes you feel even better. Whether that’s right or wrong is neither here nor there — but for a lot of us, it is true. * If you add a little morning meditation into the mix, that’s even better. And if you add a little visualization and gratitude action on top of that — well, then, you’ll really be setting yourself up for a kick-ass day.

Okay, I get it. So how do I get myself to wake up early and workout? * 1. Plan it out. Plan all your workouts BEFORE you step foot into the gym. Write it down, or get an app like Gym Buddy to keep you on track. Having plans and goals are crucial. Otherwise you’ll end up screwing around and leaving early. * 2. Picture yourself doing tomorrow’s workout today. One of the things I do every night before going to bed is to whip out my phone and go over my workout routine for the following morning real quick before calling it a night. I envision myself CRUSHING it in the gym. Performing every exercise and hitting new personal records for each of them. Yes, it helps. And yes, it makes a difference. Currently, I’m keeping my workouts in an Evernote checklist titled “Dean’s Training Program: Week 2”. The tools I use change from time to time, but the process doesn’t. * 3. Set it and forget it. Place your alarm clock far enough away from your bed that you must physically get out of bed in order to shut that thing off. * 4. Never hit the snooze button. “Just 5 more minutes” rarely ends up being just 5 minutes… Trust me, I know this from personal experience on more than one occasion. Do not let your mind trick your into hitting the snooze button. Avoid waking up two hours later and kicking yourself for missing a workout, and then allowing that guilt to have a negative impact on the rest of your entire day. It’s not worth it. * 5. Jump out of bed like a machine. Sometimes I wake up with such force that I scare my poor wife out of her beauty sleep. You don’t need to jump right out of bed, but you DO need to feel as if you wanted to. Be robotic with it. Wake up and go. Don’t think about how little you slept last night. Don’t think about how many things you need to do today. As soon as your alarm goes off, get your body out of your bed and get moving. * 6. Prep your pre-workout supplementation. I like to have a pre-workout drink before I go into the gym. And because it’s powdered, I put it in an empty shaker and place it next to my bed side table (right next to a bottled water) so that it’s ready to be consumed with my vitamins as soon as I get up in the morning. Wondering what I put in my pre workout drink? It varies, but it’s usually a powdered mix of caffeine, branch-chain amino acids, buffered creatine monohydrate, and arginine. But if you're looking for a set of all-in-one supplements that can give you a solid boost, without making you feel like an over-stimulated crack addict, I'd recommend Onnit Labs. They're an ethical company that produces high-grade supplements, with research-driven data to support their brands. * 7. Prepare your attire the night before. I go to sleep with my gym clothes on. But I’m a dude, so that’s usually just a pair of sweats and a tank top. If you can’t do that, then pick out exactly what you need to wear to the gym the next morning and have it ready to go. If you go straight work after your workout, then bring your toiletries and work clothes with you. Most gyms have lockers. Hopefully yours is clean.

Quick recap: 7 steps to wake up early and workout * 1. Plan it out * 2. Envision tomorrow's workout today * 3. Set it and forget it (place your alarm clock far enough away from the bed so that you've got to physically get out of bed to turn it off... then STAY out of bed :) * 4. NEVER hit the snooze button * 5. Be robotic with it. Jump out of bed like a machine * 6. Prepare your pre-workout supplementation for immediate consumption upon rising * 7. Prepare your pre and post workout attire the night before

BOOK DESCRIPTION: In seven simple steps, Uncovering Happiness uses cutting-edge mindfulness and self-compassion techniques along with innovations in neuroscience to release natural antidepressants in the brain. Dr. Goldstein shows you how to take back control of your mind, your mood, and your life. Most of us believe when we’re depressed that our situation is hopeless. That’s a mistake, Dr. Elisha Goldstein reassures us in Uncovering Happiness. The secret to overcoming depression and uncovering happiness is in harnessing our brain’s own natural antidepressant power and ultimately creating a more resilient antidepressant brain.Uncovering Happiness is grounded in two key foundations: mindfulness and self-compassion, and backed by recent scientific discoveries. New research shows that mindfulness reduces the risk of relapse in people who have experienced depression and can be a significant alternative, or supplement, to medication. The second foundation is self-compassion—a state of mind in which you understand your own suffering with an inclination to support yourself. Goldstein explores our natural antidepressants—along with mindfulness and self-compassion, also purpose, play, and confidence—and offers specific techniques for putting them into action. Together, these elements can transform something that typically forces us to spiral downward and turn it into an upward spiral of self-worth and resiliency.

At its core, Uncovering Happiness contains a persuasive argument for hope: Having had depression in the past doesn’t mean you must also suffer from it in the future. You can build up the sections of the brain that protect you from depression, and slow down the sections that foster it. Doing this allows the brain’s own natural antidepressants to emerge, grow stronger, and contribute powerfully to the resiliency that we need to enjoy the good times, survive difficult times, and open ourselves up to lives that truly feel worth living.

http://www.meaningfulhq.com/pomodoro-technique.html TMS030: The Pomodoro Technique: Is It Right For You?

If you spend any time at all researching life hacks, you’ve probably heard of the famous Pomodoro Technique. Created in the 1980s by Francesco Cirillo, the Pomodoro Technique is one of the more popular time management life hacks used today. But this method isn’t for everyone, and for every person who is a passionate adherent of the system, there is another person who is critical of the results.

Is the Pomodoro Technique right for you? It’s a matter of personal preference. But if you are curious about the benefits of using the technique, this article will break down the basic information you will need to decide if this technique is worth trying out.

What is it?

The Pomodoro Technique is a time management philosophy that aims to provide the user with maximum focus and creative freshness, thereby allowing them to complete projects faster with less mental fatigue.

The process is simple. For every project throughout the day, you budget your time into short increments and take breaks periodically. You work for 25 minutes, then take break for five minutes.

Each 25-minute work period is called a “pomodoro”, named after the Italian word for tomato. Francesco Cirillo used a kitchen timer shaped like a tomato as his personal timer, and thus the method’s name.

After four “pomodoros” have passed, (100 minutes of work time with 15 minutes of break time) you then take a 15-20 minute break.

Every time you finish a pomodoro, you mark your progress with an “X”, and note the number of times you had the impulse to procrastinate or switch gears to work on another task for each 25-minute chunk of time.

How can it help you?

Frequent breaks keep your mind fresh and focused. According to the official Pomodoro website, the system is easy to use and you will see results very quickly: “You will probably begin to notice a difference in your work or study process within a day or two. True mastery of the technique takes from seven to twenty days of constant use.”

If you have a large and varied to-do list, using the Pomodoro Technique can help you crank through projects faster by forcing you to adhere to strict timing. Watching the timer wind down can spur you to wrap up your current task more quickly, and spreading a task over two or three pomodoros can keep you from getting frustrated. The constant timing of your activities makes you more accountable for your tasks, and minimizes the time you spend procrastinating. You’ll grow to “respect the tomato”, and that can help you to better handle your workload.

Who loves it?

Steven Sande of The Unofficial Apple Weblog is a fan of the system, and has compiled a great list of Apple-compatible Pomodoro tools. Before he started using the technique, he said, “Sometimes I couldn’t figure out how to organize a single day in my calendar, simply because I would jump around to all sorts of projects and never get even one of them accomplished.”

Another proponent of the Pomodoro Technique is Sue Shellenbarger of the Wall Street Journal. Shellenbarger tried out this system, along with several other similar methods for time management, and said that “It eased my anxiety over the passing of time and also made me more efficient; refreshed by breaks, for example, I halved the total time required to fact-check a column.”

Criticism

Despite the number of Pomodoro-heads out there, the system isn’t without its critics. Colin T. Miller, a Yahoo! employee and blogger, tried using the Pomodoro Technique and had some issues.

“Pomodoros are an all or nothing affair,” he says. “Either you work for 25 minutes straight to mark your X or you don’t complete a pomodoro. Since marking that X is the measurable sign of progress, you start to shy away from engaging in an activity if it won’t result in an X. For instance…meetings get in the way of pomodoros. Say I have a meeting set for 4:30pm. It is currently 4:10pm, meaning I only have 20 minutes between now and the meeting…In these instances I tend to not start a pomodoro because I won’t have enough time to complete it anyway.”

Another critic is Mario Fusco, who argues that the Pomodoro Technique is…well…sort of ridiculous.

“Aren’t we really able to keep ourselves concentrated without a timer ticketing on our desk?…Have you ever seen a civil engineer using a timer to keep his concentration while working on his projects?…I think that, like any other serious professional, I can stay concentrated on what I am doing for hours…Bring back your timer to your kitchen and start working in a more professional and effective way.”

Conclusion

One of the best things about the Pomodoro Technique is that it’s free. Yeah, you can fork over some bills to get a tomato-shaped timer if you want…or you can use any timer program on your computer or phone. So even if you try it and hate it, you haven’t lost any cash.

The process isn’t ideal for every person, or in any line of work. But if you need a systematic way to tackle your daily to-do list, the Pomodoro Technique may fit your needs.

We've got ideas and thoughts and projects popping up and pulling our attention from every imaginable direction... amidst all these distractions, we must carve out enough time to align with our own highest priorities.
