The Don’t Quit Podcast takes a look at how professionals work and how you can learn from them.
This episode features John Noltner, he spent his career learning how to ask better questions, connect deeply across difference and share stories to bridge divides and build community. He and his wife sold their house in October of 2020, bought an RV and are traveling the country interviewing people who are finding creative solutions to our most challenging issues.
Beautiful storytelling and captivating photography converge to offer a uniquely human and accessible examination of the social issues that most challenge us today, such as racial equality, immigration reform, LGBTQ+ rights, women's rights, freedom of religion, and tolerance. Through the real-world stories of ordinary citizens who choose, in the midst of difficult circumstances, to pursue healing, reconciliation, and community building, we discover a glimmer of hope that something better is possible.
Portraits of Peace offers a promising road map to a peaceful future as a pluralistic society.

Biggest shift I mentioned last week was going back to the roots of what made TyypoPrints great was motivational prints. It took some serious effort to push everything back because of it. really it needed to happen as I found more clarity and less stress trying to manage so many different tees, caps, backpacks, and journals.

Also will be having independence day prints up within next week so look forward to those limited edition times. Big news of where are at the mid point of this year and I time for a shift of focus. As some of you guys know, I created TyypoPrints to bring enjoyable art work in your home and office. I expanded to apparel with tees, hoodies and caps. Even made a journal and backpacks. The thing about these though, is it made my direction of why I created TyypoPrints to be too thin and killing my productivity. That’s why I made the choice to scale back my other products outside of prints. They aren’t going to be removed so if you saved one or click on a link from an email newsletter or instagram, they’ll still be there ready for you to be purchased. That said I’m changing some things on the website to reflect only prints first and foremost. Thank you all for being a part of this journey thus far. Until then I’ll see you at the top.

Now when you think of a professional writer you probably think of a person who locks themselves away, hunched over a desk, with crumbled papers every where as they intensively write about their next novel.
But there’s a lot more to writing than just that. It isn’t just about stories, it’s about ideas being shared through thinking, creativity, and emotions. It’s the best way to communicate without being able to hear another person speak.
So here’s some great benefits why writing is great for:
The happiness of writing
Research about writing how you feel correlates to emotional levels. Just blogging your thoughts and feels about your day can have benefits akin to therapy.
Writing about your expressions will improve your mood and regulate your stress levels if you do it regular. Studies have shown that from Adam Grant, a professor at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.
Writing about your achievements, dreams, and future endeavors have lead people to be happier and healthier. These also have shown those who write in a daily journal were more productive than those who didn’t.
There’s a correlation in those who don’t write have a hard time in communicating their feelings and thoughts.
In soft skills like emotional intelligence and hard skills such as using formulas in physics, people have shown to be more clear and be able to use complex ideas. This removes the ‘it sounded good in my head’ when read on paper.
Coping with difficult situations In a study has shown that a person who has been fired from their job who regularly writes has been able to find a new job sooner than those who didn’t.
Adam Grant says “Those who wrote about their thoughts felt less anger about their former employer. They would also drink less which further decreases any anger or negative emotions.
One participate of the study said being able to write about a dark time in my life has helped him cope with the pain instead of just trying to forget about it. Now when he talks about it with people, he doesn’t feel as bad about it anymore.
It seems people who write regularly also do well because they choose to instead of forcing it. If you force yourself, you’ll resent it and not actually gain any benefits from it or rather become worse of.
This is because there is a lack of clarity in why you are writing in the first place. It can’t be a chore, but something you feel you need to do rather than just an option.
Gratitude in writing As stated previously about those who wrote positively about their life, were overall more happier in how they saw things in their life.
The thing about this was they wrote about them every single day. The key here is to reflect and write regularly about what you can be happy about but not too often that it feels like a chore.
Your mental tabs You know when you’re having too many internet tabs at once it turns into a massive mess of what you’re trying to look for? It becomes a way that juggles too much at once as evident by your computer’s ram getting filled up trying to remember it all too.
Writing is like closing the tabs you don’t need out of your mind and puts them down on paper. It allows you to not remember and ease your mind.
Ever have that fear of having a good idea and then just forgetting about it? Writing down helps that so you know it won’t be forgotten.
Writing down ideas just makes our minds feel less tired. It’s like if you want to remember a joke, you want to write it down, if you can’t at the moment then you might have to settle that it wasn’t funny enough to remember anyway.
Learning & writing Now learning never stops in life despite what it may feel like since school. There is a reason why they made you write so often too.
It’s because information is easier to remember when you’re writing it. When you’re listening to music, podcasts, tv, your increasing information to write about in ways you can learn.
This creates a circle of ideas to write about it as well as entice research about what you don’t know so you can write about it. This feels so relevant for me as I literally do this right now to what you’re taking in.
Now writing about your old thoughts can build upon new thoughts to get a grander scale of a certain topic or story you might want to write about. It’s like when a writer rights a sentence that leads into a paragraph which could lead to a page.
You can write right now Now you may feel weird about writing things that you necessarily can’t say you can, but the things is you can start now and doesn’t have to be for anyone.
The ability to impact the world through writing is amazing as we see it in social media, blogs, and even memes.
This allows clear freedom to express how you want to be, what you’re feeling, and what you want to feel.
There’s definitely a lot of creative directions you can go with writing regular. Do what you see fit and ultimately what you enjoy.
There’s a lot of benefits that I’ve mentioned, but they’re only going to be in a full effect until commit to it regularly and what you can do without forcing it.
You can start doing today, or even with my journal I created called the one step journal that is made specifically for this reason.
What was your best productivity tip? That’s an extremely good question for everything that I’ve researched in motivation and productivity. One that just might be is about thinking about the stuff you don’t do.
We’re all trying to dodge thing that we’re doing vs thing we want to do but shouldn’t. This really is the age of distractions. So let’s look at thing you shouldn’t be doing as a list.
I don’t look a news websites
I don’t look at emails until I’ve worked an hour on a project.
I don’t look at my phone every 15 minutes.
I don’t sleep for more than 8 hours.
I don’t use social media more than twice a day.
I don’t listen to distracting music.
I don’t respond to every email immediately.
I stop working at 5pm.
I don’t eat at my desk.
Now compare this to a list that you would do.
I need to make my to do list the night before.
I should meet a new person every day.
Do something different each day.
Do a meditation session before working out.
Now this may not be possible for everyone like you can’t avoid meetings at 7 am or maybe just not into meditation.
I absolutely like to believe people about their reasons, but I will also question what they could do instead or sacrifice something to make it happen.
There’s surprisingly a lot of things that people can cut back on that they feel they should but really can’t. That is the definition of addiction and I’ve been there. I’ve played way too many video games during 2007-2008 that couldn’t tell you what was happening in the world beyond mindless entertainment during that time period.
So a hard truth about productivity is finding that works for you. There is no silver bullet ‘do this and you’ll instantly achieve everything you wanted to do today.” It comes from your knowledge of understanding yourself and working with your strengths vs avoiding your weakness.
When you’re creating the things you need to do, focus on what the big picture is. What you’re trying to achieve at the end of the day, month, or year. It helps to have meaning to what you do and not just get sucked in to the little busy work and wonder if it will all matter in the end. If you’re wondering, then you need to go back to the initial reason of starting.
Work-life balance is one of the highest priorities people look for in their career. It makes sense because not everyone wants to live to work. With hobbies, friends, families, it can be difficult to address it all without sacrificing what you do to make a living.
This problem is why The 4 Burners Theory was made. It’s described as the 4 burners on a stove. Each burner being a section of your life.
They each would represent family, friends, health, and work.
The theory is that if you want to be successful, you need to turn off 1of your burners and if you want to be extremely successful, you need to cut off one more.
The different views of the four burners Now I researched ways wondering is it possible to get all 4 burners to still be on?
Maybe I could get 2 burners in one? Like placing family and friends as one burner. Standing desks are a thing, so maybe health and work can be one? Even though that’s just as effective as saying you’re dangerous by unplugging your usb thumb drive without ejecting it.
The thing is, these are workarounds that don’t actually solve the problem. If you want to have a career worth having, you have to sacrifice time with your family, and same with health and friends.
Sure you can divide your time equally, but none of the 4 would be of any substantial level.
So would you want a life where you are at the highest peak in area but faulting others or never living to a true potential?
While this is a problem that people will always have, I’m going to give insight in dealing with it all.
- Let others deal with your burners In other words, it means to outsource the work involved in these burners. This is a form of taking work off of you.
We do it a lot in our lives when ever we go to a restaurant, a mechanic, and dry cleaners, as they offer services that remove stuff that we would ourselves do.
So why not do this for one of our burners?
The work burner will always be the best one for this. For a lot and personally me as well, the work burner is the most important. When it comes to a 40/hr work week, it’s where we spend the most time.
This is why business owners hire employees, not because they can’t do it themselves, but rather don’t have the time to do it all while getting the push in their business’s success.
Parenting is another way people use to help their burner with sending their kids to day care. It does come with a cost of time vs money at the end of the day, so you need to calculate which one is more abundant vs what you need.
- Accept you can’t be perfect The worst thing about the 4 burner theory is that it’s a visual proof that you can’t have it all. It shows that time is finite and it’s impossible to master it all. It doesn’t matter about your fitness, your bank account amount, or the time spent with your children.
So a way to deal with that is to stop thinking there isn’t enough. Rather, you should think about how to effectively do your best with what you have. You have limitations, just like everyone else, so be aware and accept it so you’ll be happier easier.
So examples are like you’re working 8 hours a week so how can you make the most money in that time period?
What about having only 30 min to write in your book in a day?
If you only have 4 hours for exercising in a week, how can you maximize that?
These are questions that presented in positive way that you have rather than thinking negatively about the time you don’t have.
Yes, acceptance means you won’t reach a level of excellence that you would like. It’s matter of time in progressing an improvement in a certain aspect of life.
- The seasonal changes The third way to cope with all four burners is by using them seasonal. Instead of trying to go at it all at once, you break them into 4 different sections of your life.
When you’re in your 20’s or 30’, you might not have children or other big commitments, so it would be easier to work on your career or health. So while those burners are on to the max, you don’t need to worry about the others.
When you get older, you might have to put friends burner off and work more on family, or vice versa when you’re really old. So you don’t have to completely ignore a burner forever, even if it’s months, years, or even decades.
Sometimes you need to let go of a burner in a time of life. So do it for a season and a reason.
So think about the seasonal burners you need to work on right now.
Work-Life balance is about managing burners
This theory is sad to learn as well as liberating to what you can actually do. no one likes to feel like they can’t do something, but every choice as a cost, so what’s your next move?
When it comes to new political leaders, venturing a business, or moving to a new state, there’s a lot of uncertainties that come with it. Tons of fear that can affect productivity.
When you look at the people who always takes these risks you’ll see they are calm, they give hope because they believe that everything is going to be ok.
So what are the things that these kinds of people are able to tolerate the uncertainties of life?
One thing is to communicate
Which is biggest problem to any kind of relationship, to your people, to the ones you love. Don’t lie or any kind of dishonesty as a role model, you need to have credibility.
Which leads to telling people what you know
The scary thing about uncertainties is the lack of information because if we had it, there wouldn’t be any uncertainties. This benefits everyone from anxiety and stress.
But what if you don’t have any information? Then tell people what you don’t know.
People will open up about their information with you if you just ask. Knowledge is power and helps to research what potential information others might have.
Also telling them when you do know by providing a timeline of expectations. As you see communicating a back in forth of information eases both sides wether you’re in management or with a life partner.
Have a game plan you can stick with
If you want to be leader, you need a plan. It better be easy to follow if you want others to follow it as well. If it makes sense then you shouldn’t have too much problems. This factors in trust which is sacred in keeping calm.
Get other’s opinions
It’s ok to not have all the answers, but you need to know where to look for them.
While other look up to for answers, they themselves might not have it, that’s why it’s important to use all information possible.
When asking for input, look for a better or an alternative solution.
Flexibility is a must
Because there’s a lot you may not know about means you’re going to be changing directions or mindset when you do acquire more information.
Keep an open mind about where you want to be because how you’re getting there most likely won’t be how you
Stay Positive
Having confidence is one of the great personality traits you could have. Confidence in the leader is crucial during times of uncertainty.
Confidence projects a sentimental protection and builds upon trust. You ned to push fears behind you and share your confidence with others.
When I instruct to a high school class on a design project, I have to be confident in how this will be done or everyone is going to be frightened about it.
Don’t forget about the small wins
It helps to identify what a small win is. These are small celebratory achievements that boosts morale that your uncertainty isn’t something to be feared.
You got on your flight on time, you found a great local restaurant, or you made a new friend should all be celebrated.
Be the rock
Lastly when it comes to being by yourself, you might have to be the rock. What I mean is, you have to be the realistic and level headed in facing fears.
This also means leading with your head and not on hunches. There is a self mantra that you can do it by yourself.
Uncertainties can be scary, but can also be exciting. You only live once so might as well make it your best.
I want to make a fun episode that isn’t really talked about amongst the people we learn productivity and motivational inspiration. Now these tips you can learn from people who have questionable morals are insightful and interesting. So even though you don’t necessarily want to ‘learn’ from an evil dictator, doesn’t mean it isn’t worth hearing about.
To be fair, a lot of the successful people we look up to such as Steve Jobs, Elon Musk, and Jeff Bezos for their achievements but let’s not overlook that they too have questionable morals when it comes to business.
Now leaders can be manipulative and like to take advantage of other people’s minds when they are weak, remove them from their friends, and give speeches that empower them with what they want to hear.
There’s 6 things that evil dictators do in certain situations.
- Bring only the difficult problems to people when their willpower is at their weakest.
As evident when you get tired, your mind is in a different place and you might not make the best decision available. A successful dictator knows when to use this.
The late Fidel Castro would purposely hold his meetings at 4am with people who had to get out of bed so they would be tired. Joseph Stalin of Russia also used this tactic during WWII.
Now the idea is to work with people when they are tired or not at 100% of their best. Fatigue is real and why we value resting as much as working hard. It’s easily exploitable especially if you have meetings that really early or late so you can work at your best.
- Have a 5 year plan
The 5 year plan was created by Stalin who used this to keep track of his economical policies and readiness of future problems. It was widely used throughout Russia in politics and was adopted in other Asian countries.
While your 5 year plan will be a lot smaller than a dictator’s the actual idea of having one is great. This is similar to asking yourself to where do you see yourself in 5 years? It’s a question that everyone should wonder.
So here’s some questions to ask yourself:
What will your typical day look like? What would your house be? What would you be looking forward to? Who would be your friends?
Write your answers down of where you see it being in the next 5 years.
Planning ahead of 5 years is plants a strong end goal that you can be working towards right now. It’ll give yourself meaning if you don’t have so already.
- Remove threats of your power
Dictators have to hold their power in order to do their job, and there’s tons of problems that arise that can take that away. This could even mean removing their friends and families who probably want their power.
What dictators do is to make an outer circle want that power while having an inner circle praising them constantly.
Fidel Castro was well known for this as he purposely left Che Guevara stranded after the revolution of Cuba because he didn’t want him to take his power.
Now what can we learn from this? Is being knowledgeable about your competition wether its for your business or a position that you want to be in. Not saying you should do bad things to people, but rather acknowledge the threats that preventing your dream from happening.
- Have a ‘Cult of Personality’
Now a cult of personality is a tactic that dictators use which is to present themselves as the best person they can be. To an extent, they show themselves as gods. This is through propaganda and being widely known everywhere.
We see it with Kim Jon-il of North Korea. As point out in many book about his doctrines with his people, they actually believe that he can control the weather with his clothes.
Nicolae Ceaușescu, a dictator of Romania would call himself the “The Genius of the Carpathians” and Benito Mussolini of Italy would always look taller than he actually is in his photo to look more powerful.
Now what can you learn from this? Being a cult of personality isn’t always a bad thing. You can be likeable, charismatic, and trusting without manipulating or telling lies. It’s about showing yourself in the best light, but no need to try to be something that you aren’t.
- Make powerful and eccentric speeches
Now Adolf Hitler was one of the worst people to live yet there’s a lot to learn from him. One was his ability to make the most influential speeches of all time. He broke the mold of what people expected from speeches at the time.
They looked at speeches as complexed and highly intellectual. what Hitler did was to make them exciting with emotions and stories. He was able to talk about the problems on a personal level and made him like able.
While the content was horrible, his delivery was astounding. He used ways to plant ideas into people’s minds. He obsessed over the speeches to make them perfect.
What you can learn from this is remember the audience when you’re talking to. Why are they listening? What should they get out of it? How can you keep their attention? These are the questions that made hitler and other well known speakers so great.
- Learning from experiences is better than learning from books
Practice makes perfect is a strong mantra all the dictators learned to love. Julius Ceasar fought on the frontline with his soldiers so he had first hand experience of the situation. He even lived with them as they go about their days and believed in the experience is the greatest teacher.
The infamous Napoleon Bonaparte did the same as he worked him self up in the french army. Mao also with his peasants that he wanted to control.
You can learn from this is by knowing how things work by doing it yourself. They practiced what they wanted to rule.
As we may have learned in our first jobs that gained more knowledge than school. Likewise this is why internships are so important. When you have experience, you have qualifications.
Now you have the power to become a dictator, but you can be something more and be remembered for a having a better impact. So be courageous without the negativity.
The 9-5 work schedule is created around the way society thought productivity should work. This was due to physical work such as farming. We live in a different world since then.
Does 8 hour work days work anymore?
A lot of productive countries don’t work 8 hours a day, even the most productive have the lowest work hours.
Countries like Luxembourg work only 6 hours a day which brings it to a total of 30 hours a week. Average citizen there even makes more than the average American.
This is all average, but what about the top executives that are the most productive?
Most I’ve researched work about 20 hours a week. People I know work for about ~5 hours a week
At the end of the day, it depends now hat that person is trying to achieve as one’s goals are more challenging than the others.
Some of these people want to buy out bigger businesses or buy extravagant cars. They can set what they want, it’s all about having clear priorities.
And you must be clear on yours. If you want to achieve a higher wealth, do the work you are most passionate about, while providing flexibility in your schedule.
Quality work or Quality work
So your workdays are like a velocity of work with some distractions set in. i.e. social media, texts, etc.
People’s maximum performance levels aren’t always during the work time frame and that sucks.
Working is actually attuned to how exercising works in that short, intensive performances bring more results than long drawn out ones.
Work is actually no different.
It comes down to quality activity to quality resting.
The progress comes from recovery, but the catch is you have to exert a lot of energy for the recovery to be beneficial.
By doing short work which is 1-3 hours, do we do our best. Also this must be a deep focus work with no distractions and non stop. Just like how we go about our work.
As a creative professional, most of my intensive work ideas come from downtime that I am able to efficient start and finish projects.
So why is this? Well, your mind is focused on the work while when you aren’t it wanders which happens to cause a potential reflection of thoughts.
While in an recreational environment such as driving it subconsciously remind you of past experiences and be able to connect them together in a new way.
Creativity in a nutshell is about connecting one thing to another.
So working for the work time and resting for the rest time. Not doing both at once. You’ll have more creative breakthroughs.
The first 3 hours are the most important
Ron Friedman, a psychologist found out the first 3 hours of your day are the most important for productivity.
Apparently, during our three hour window, we’re the most focused. Like we have the strongest form of concentrating right them.
It all starts with sleep. The brain is the most active and creative during the deep sleep phase. This allows your mind to wander easier and be able to even remember experiences more.
Not only in creativity but in willpower as well. It’s more so in energy levels that will give you. Amore natural push in being more productive.
As the days goes on, you lose your willpower. So pretty much fatigue is what stops us.
When your brain and energy level is attuned, that’s where the research of the first 3 hours of the day are your best.
Depending on who you ask, exercising first thing in the morning could make you ore tired and instead of energizing you. Of course this might due to the quality of sleep you get.
Not only sleep, but the things you eat as well. Donald Layman, professor of University of Illinois says that 30g of protein is important for the first 3 hours you wake up.
Protein in foods help you feel fuller because they take longer to breakdown in the digestive system.
Starting the day right right can allow you to finish it sooner.
Mornings are Important
Schedules like this can’t always be possible because we might things like kids or other dependents that are important.
While we all have our constraints, it’s important to make the best of what you can do. You might have to sacrifice some sleep and catch up with an afternoon nap.
Or you can use the 90-90-1 rule which is when you spend the first 90 minutes of your work day on a #1 priority.
What ever you do, make sure the keep your mornings productive.
I’m always in awe of the people who can do meetings in the morning. Some people recommend to have meetings in the afternoon while they’re at peak performance.
This means not to check social media or watch a show because you should be doing output, not input.
If you don’t care about your mornings, then a lot of different problems will occur. You must respect that always.
Connecting your mind and body
What you do in your free time is just as important as your productive work.
A study in March 2016 from Neurology ays that exercising continually can slow brain aging by 10 years. Loads of research have found out that people who exercise are more productive. Your brain is like an muscle even though it technically isn’t.
If you want to create a better you, then your health is the first start. Improve this aspect and the others will become easier.
Eating foods is just the same, they affect your ability to work and concentrate. It’s all about the ability to understand peak performance.
Now I want to include my personal take of the matter that it’s really hard to do something that you’re not interested or subconsciously thinking about all the time. It’s like that for me and worth pointing out that I make sound so much easier than it is.
So you’re not a lone about wanting to make progress and never feeling like you’re not able to. That’s why it’s so important to make effort even if it’s just one step. It’s a lot better than sitting on the couch and still wondering when you’ll start. So it’s time to make some progress in that.
It’s time to be more productive in your mornings, you only have 3 hours of it.
’ve talked about a lot of using pen and paper for to do lists. I personally believe it is the best way to create one, but that’s just me. I’ve found that out via trial and error.
Now you also know I’m big into personal growth and that means trying new things. I love enchancing productivity and I get a craving to find a new solution to it. So here’s a system that I thought of that might help you.
The Deep Focus System
Now I call this The Deep Focus System because it doesn’t go by dates or priorities so you can work on your own time.
This isn’t to say you shouldn’t have priorities, this is separate from that and why you should already have a method dealing with that. The Deep Focus System is suppose to with that system.
The One List
The Deep Focus System uses only one list of tasks. You could use the One Step Journal for this.
The list is essentially a brainstorm of ideas. Just write everything you should or need to do. if you go over a full page that’s ok, keep continuing.
Using Your Deep Focus
Now when you start working, use your feelings of wanting to get it done. This system is made in a way to go around the problem of only working when you have to. We all know boring tasks almost never get done, so this will help you with the motivation without taking more time than necessary.
Here’s how the deep focus works: Look at your to do list as a whole without taking any further action. Now look at every task one by one. Any of them jump out to you? The ones that make you feel you need to do. But what about the ones that you want to do?
That’s your deep focus at work.
Updating Your Deep Focus List
So you have chosen your task and your working on it. An important pat of why this works is long as you enjoy your task. There’s other systems that are more for the serious discipline to get things.
Once you’re done as much as you can without finishing the task, write it again at the bottom of your to do list.
Every time you finish a task, cross it off and rewrite it again at the bottom. Eventually you might get to the point where it’s finished completely and don’t need to rewrite it.
This system is designed to make you’re always busy with the work that matters to you and making progress of the bigger tasks into smaller ones.
Keeping Track of Your Deep Focus List
When you have an entire page filled out with finished tasks, put an X at the top to signal that there is nothing that needs doing here and start on a new page.
A special way to signal that there is no other pages before it that need doing is by putting a circle around your X’s. If there is no circle, then you know everything there is completed and no need to look back.
Some Tips I’ve Learned About Deep Focus List
It has it’s pro’s and con’s. I wouldn’t advise using this for super important tasks that need doing a.s.a.p. But for the long on going projects such as writing a book, creating a business, training for a sport event, this is where it shines.
This system is designed to be conduction with other systems, but it doesn’t have a ton of structure that some people may want. Some may need a way to keep track of the deadlines or plan days with time blocks in the future.
While it’s not meant for bigger systems, it’s perfect for smaller ones. Things that you’ve put off and haven’t gotten around to do. So now it’s a chance to make sure you’re still going strong.
With a lot of things I do for a living, I will say that I’m equally terrible at other things. I do feel I try to get too much in a day, with working out, cleaning, having a social life along side providing you with motivational content.
When you try to get better at something you don’t want to do it can be a real challenge.
There’s a lot in this world that forces you to not change. Your biology of your brain doesn’t like change. Same with how your body doesn’t like change. That means the entire world doesn’t like change.
When I can’t do something as well as I would like which takes a lot of time. I tell myself that I can do better to get me to the level I want to be at.
Like for an example I would list more than 7 things to do a day but really it comes down to 3 things. This is what lead to my creation of the One Step Journal in that we really only have the energy to do what’s most important in a day because it’s such a finite amount.
Once you start making your day more manageable about what you can do you’ll feel better about yourself.
But I only felt better for a few days. My list would slowly grow in having things that I should be doing. After a week I would get frustrated.
When I try to go over my to do list, It happens.
Instead of a Degree of Change, Why Not Go a Full 180?
I read this article called ‘Over-compensate to compensate‘ by Derek Sivers, who sells indie music. In the post, Derek says that most of us fail to change because we don’t do enough.
Derek uses a metaphor of bricks on a seesaw. When we want change we put all the bricks on one side of the see saw.
When you make a small change such as a smaller to do list, one brick moves. It may be a step int he right direction but it’s not enough to balanced it out.
The problem with this is a small improvement isn’t going to change your life.
Habits are hard to remove because they are the path of least resistance. That’s what our brain prefers.
Our brains what is simple because we don’t like to think. That’s because it takes energy and makes us feel tired. So we follow a habit like how a train follows a track.
When you see a train changing tracks, it’s not easy or fast. The train usually has to slow down or even stop. This is the same way we deal with habits.
To have it the way to be efficient is we need to be extreme about it as Derek says. We need to place all the bricks on the other side, not just one at a time
When you do this you’re going to feel like you’re overcompensating and in the other direction.
But you’re not. You’re actually just evening out.
Even when you go extreme the other way, your natural resistance will even it out. thus the seesaw will be balanced.
So I was trying to even out the seesaw by only one brick at a time but eventually just moving back to how I was.
I wasn’t changing via the long term.
Overcompensating to Improve
After reading Derek’s material, I realized by doing the things I was terribly was just my brain being natural in how it works and now when I know how and figure out how to put it in the way I want it to be.
So here’s some examples of going extreme would look like.
- Super clean the whole house to a spotless level
It’s tough because I always view my house clean but whenever my mom sees it she disagrees. Just because you make the bed, doesn’t mean it’s done ‘nicely’ to her.
My extreme action was to go above and beyond what I naturally do when I clean.
- Keep contact with friends and family
When you’re in school or live in your parents big neighborhood you’re surround with people who are your friends and family. When you get older and move out you pretty much live a whole new life instead and it’s difficult to regain what you once had.
My extreme action was to call a friend or family member a day.
- Say no to more projects
I get excited about starting something new. It’s a strong passion but sometimes the idea of it gets the best of me.
My extreme action would be to only finish a project before starting a new one.
- Write in a routine
I would say I’ve fallen out of a routine and even last week I had to take care of other personal matters when I should be writing my next podcast episode.
My extreme action is to write daily. Even if I don’t write a whole lot I need to make some kind of progress.
- Learning to deal with anxiety
When you’re doing a lot and new things that will put you out of your comfort zone, you’re going to deal with some level of anxiety. I will say I deal with it more on average. It’s what happens when I try to do a lot.
My extreme action was to figure what to do first and then just dump everything tomorrow. Sometimes I needed to just not do anything at all as resting isn’t a unproductively as one would think.
Now when I want to get better at all these things I need to know it’s impossible to them all at once. It’s just too much willpower and overall not healthy for you. Especially when our bodies don’t work that way.
So instead, let’s go about one a month and see how we gain from it.
Researches say habits take about a month or two to form. I wouldn’t advise going two months because we’re looking for balance and not insanity.
Bear in mind this isn’t a to do list. This is still just an on going mentality to have. If I finish one thing, then I’ll move on to the next. It’s just great not having the pressure to have it all done today.
Now you probably want to get better at something. It’s wonderful to have the actions to improve. Be a better person, for a better you and everyone you’re with.
This extreme mindset isn’t for everyone. If it doesn’t work, at least you tried and learned about yourself. Nobody frowned upon a good effort.
So join in on something you think our terrible and see an extreme way of improvement can help you. Remember to work with your brain, not against it.
College was once the epitome of knowledge and still is for a lot of areas. The place were you were practically handed success because it was so hard to afford and complete.
Upon receiving a degree, employers would pay top dollar to have these graduates for their business.
Some of it has changed in the present time. Granted a lot of for profit colleges and influx of more graduates than ever has made degrees more of a commodity paper than a prestige parchment.
Employers don’t treat all the degrees the same while colleges do. Which means of the biggest problems is the disconnect between the expectations of where colleges get you afterwords.
College as always been the ‘key’ to a successful career. Your parents know it and if they didn’t attend one I bet they wish they could have.
I know some of them force you to go because of that. They all wanted you to succeed more than they did.
Now you’re probably wondering why go to college now when theres a lot of debt and no guarantee of any of it being worth it?
The thing is, it is worth it, but not as originally idealized.
College has a lot of social events
You actually gain more from college than a lot of people think. You meet new people who are like minded and need walks of life.
You need to be open minded and try everything new because it’s never been easier and as assessable.
Friends and life partners are one of the longest lasting relationships that most likely be found at college. Granted you have to go outside and participate in activities, but it’s well worth it.
Lastly, it’s not always what you know but also who you know. When you’re all competing for one position all it can take to secure is knowing the right person to vouch for you. Especially if this is a former classmate or a close friend.
College is the safest place to fail
This was from a quote from one of my professors that has resonated with me because it’s so true. Failing can have a lot of repercussions especially at your job or in important personal matters. In college, your professors are a lot more forgiving and they want to help you succeed.
As I stated past episodes the best way to get better is through trial and error. College has a lot of that and you won’t get that hard set back as nearly as much as anywhere else.
Employers still care about degrees
Sure employers see degrees differently way back then, but they are better than high school diplomas. Some would say they are becoming the new high school diploma which I partly agree in terms of those degree mill schools.
It’s that when you’re applying to a job and you’re competing against 100+ applicants, that company is going to need to thin applicants somehow. Degrees would be the first thing because statically, those who have degrees are perceived to be more smarter and qualified.
I know that isn’t always true and I apologize if that offends anyone, that’s just how employers see the value of degrees. So it’s better to have one and not need it than not have one and need it.
Conclusion
College isn’t for everyone which depends on your career choice or your learning style. i don’t believe you have to go to college to be successful, but the fact remains by studies is that it is still worth it to attend if you have the time and budget for it.
If anything, the biggest reasons why people have regret from graduating is the lack of research of their chosen career path and then blaming it on the college for not ‘preparing’ them for it.
Now some colleges are better than others, it’s that the graduates that are immediately coming up with excuses when they don’t find employment in their first month out.
College is worth it, it’s just not the same procedure as how your parents went about it. Do your research, use all their resources, and most importantly have fun because it’s an experience that you can only get there.
I’m going to be honest with you.
I do a lot of things and a lot more planned.
I run 2 business that feels like more 5 businesses.
I take care of my dog and my grandma.
I deal with a terrible car every day.
I’m still writing that book that I thought would be done 3 months ago.
Not even talking about daily chores, cooking, cleaning, and paying bills. It can be a lot to deal with.
I don’t what to sound like I’m complaining, I know I have it a lot better than most, I’m stating what I deal with.
I talk my friend, Paul about how life can be a grind.
Personally a lot of people would consider me a tortured soul even though I disagree.
So I thought what needs to happen to where I what to be.
That’s where the thought of every tomorrow starts tonight. That’s a mantra I’ll be thinking about moving forward.
You want that perfect tomorrow? Well you can get close if you want to get ahead - that is by planning ahead.
Think about it: Tomorrow starts tonight.
If you wake up look at your alarm clock and it says 7am and you didn’t go over any plan tomorrow, then you already missed it.
Doing your work as play by ear every day will not advance you to where you will be. It’ll get you somewhere acceptable, but nothing great.
When I started planning my morning - and I’m not a morning person so it’s even more beneficial. It really got me into a more productive mindset to where I want to be.
Now it’s a matter go how.
So yes, having a year or month plan can be difficult because so much in life can happen that we can’t control. If you want weekly or daily then by all means do so.
Struggles will happen, but planning for the struggles is what life is going to give you regardless.
So next month starts this month. Tomorrow’s idea is tonight’s idea.
If you want your financials to be better next month, you need to start this month. Everything you do this month determines the next one.
If you’re looking to chance then it needs to start asap.
Like with exercising, diet, learning a skill, making new friends, it all takes time that starts with now.
So that’s what I’m doing. What about you?
Communication is the number 1 priority when working with people.
That’s why a lot of people don’t like meetings - they’re long, boring, and get side tracked so easily.
But no time for them is never an excuse. They’re important and need to be done right. While meetings in general can be a big topic, I’m just going to be talking for small teams where 1-on-1 is best.
-
First is to schedule them and to avoid postponing as much as possible. By putting them on a calendar will help you make sure you’ll have time for it.
-
Just call them 1 on 1’s and nothing else. The reason is to make them more conversational and more of a check in.
It’s important that it’s not a one sided conversation. It’s saying what needs to be said like anything goes method. Let it be an open discussion.
Have them be in person as much as possible or at least over video. Being able to see via physical cues helps a lot with understanding people.
The human connection is invaluable and should be highest priority.
- There’s something to be said about bring up an issue from a past meeting into another. Especially if they’re constantly recurring.
So all talk and no action defeats the purpose of 1 on 1’s in the first place.
You must end every meeting with a gameplay so if you aren’t that’s what you need to consider. None of it matters if you don’t follow through.
So ask yourself these questions
- What can I hold accountable for the next meeting?
- What can I be accountable to the other person who is talking to me?
-
Can you confirm the progress from the last meeting was productive? If yes, then you got the momentum to progress to other things.
-
If you’re in a start up or a small company then you know you have to wear multiple hats or things just wouldn’t get done.
But when you’re expanding and you have more defined job titles, it’s best to start talking about the actual expectations of the roles.
Ignore this and people will wonder where they are at in their career.
- When taking about ideas or things that aren’t fully fledged can be a problem and causes confusing to both people.
That’s why one-on-ones are suppose to clear up. It’s all about cutting out the fluff and getting to the point
- Reduce as much time on stats updates. They’re on going and they can defeat the purpose when they’re going too long.
In a lot of meetings you do the ‘what, when, and why, that goes into discussion.
- The one thing that a lot of people dread is having the hard conversations.
We’ve been there. The topics we don’t want to talk about but have to. When a person is venting the best thing to is listen.
Unless the venting is escalating or on a tangent, they shouldn’t be frowned upon. Some people just want to be heard and better to get it out of the way than have it worse later on.
1-on-1’s are a must have and to be embraced for small teams. They’ll help you grow and mend any problems. Remember the goal and how you can work together and not against.
Carl Gustav Jacobi was a mathematician from the 19th century. Most famous for thinking of the ‘Always Invert’ mantra.
Now back in his day this was only used for mathematics but in our recent century, is works economically as well as for personal problems.
An example of this being used is like asking, ‘how do we increase job market’ can be inverted as ‘how can we decrease the job market’?
This way is how you can find not so much about the things you should be doing, but the things you shouldn’t.
Now I’m assuming we’re all not in a power of political decisions, but rather our own personal lives. So a question could be like, how can I make this project help me become financially independent? Turns the question into ‘How can I stay financial dependent?’
Now possible answers for that is to spend more money than you earn or not have a budget period. Another is to expect the person you’re depends on to fit your bill all the time.
Some answers can even be spending all your time on people who are holding you back or making you feel bad. Or even create excuses for every obstacle you face.
Now with these answers you’re able to identify a different way of thinking about them. As well as how to avoid more pitfalls that can come up before they even appear.
Now here’s another hypothetical question: How do you want to stay healthy? Or rather how to stay unhealthy.
Possible answers are: Eat whatever you want, it doesn’t matter. Don’t do any exercises, don’t go out side, move as little as possible.
This is the direction of the inverted thinking. It reinforces what your original question is.
But inverting question don’t always work. Like when there’s only 1 or 2 direct answers where inverting is suppose to create multiple. Also it don’t work well on the questions that ask ‘why’? Examples are like scientific mysteries.
So go throughout your day and see if inverting your questions can lead you to new solutions.
This is a difficult topic to talk about and why it took me awhile to get the process of releasing this episode.
I want to be informed and helpful, not something that can just be generalized because talking suicide should be important.
I also want to apologize if anything I say is not correct and if you’re dealing with suicidal thoughts, please seek professional help or contact the suicide prevention hotline at 1-800-273-8255. They can go further in helping you with persevering depression than I can.
Depression is difficult to understand for anyone who doesn’t have it. It’s not as easy as ‘just be happier because others have it worse than you’. Or ‘anyone who has it needs to man up’.
People we thought were happy like Robin Williams and Chris Cornell surprisingly weren’t. Despite their choice, it left a lot of people wondering why? Why do extremely successful and beloved people want to end it all?
Depression plays a lot in your emotions. The definition is the feelings of severe despondency and dejection.
Like when we fall in love, we’re not in the correct state of mind in reality. Love is blind and like depression is irrational and difficult to justify actions that surround it.
It’s important to know that happiness is still within reach though. Situational depression is really common as I’ve dealt with it as well.
A lot of those times are just in high school or a job that affects your personal well being. I strongly disliked high school. I couldn’t connect with class principles and my classmates all had different values.and interests.
I felt stuck.
And the length of high school feels so much longer than it is. Upon graduation was when I felt I could be content about who I was and the people I was with.
If you’re like me, it’s cliche to say it gets better, but it does and worth it.
Music was a huge part in dealing with all that and it might as well. Connecting with emotions of what you’re feeling helps out. I’m a big fun of the grunge genre not only from being Seattle area, but their raw emotions and metaphors helps me know other people deal with it too.
Things like this subside. But some others are going to require action if you’re dealing with it at work or someone in your life. It can be hard if it’s someone that you need like a parent in which case see how you can distance yourself from it.
No one is really alone
One thing that I didn’t do much was talk to your friends and family about my situational depression. Looking back I should have and I really do believe that it would greatly.
I remember when one of my close friends came back in my area from a trip to Spain with friends and told me about his suicide attempt.
It was a surreal moment because he talks about what he was doing and posting photos on Facebook looking like he was having a great time. But the thing is, we only show what we want and hide our true feelings.
That’s where depression is scary because it’s generally silent and only really seen either in actions or when the person reveals it.
My friend is still here and he’s doing better. Social media never says the whole story. No one but maybe close friends of the famous people for saw a suicide attempt.
Catch 22 - Depression needs action
It can be difficult that we all have to create our own meaning in life as that’s what makes the average person get out of bed, but people with depression aren’t the average.
Our actions is what makes our lives and in effort to gain meaning. Making a wellness box can really help with why getting out of bed matters. Caring for pets, friends, and families.
Put everything that reminds you them or anything that makes you smile. Remember it every day.
Not just your mental and emotional health, but your physical health. Eating and working out really does help as you feel more energized and thus able to take action easier.
Depression is a weight, but it also makes you stronger. There’s people, there’s options, and anyone can survive. Don’t Quit.
My friend, Paul loves to wake up early and do his best work when the sun is out. At night, he’s less focused and and not as creative.
But one thing you notice is he has compared to working during the day is he has motivation. At the end of it he has a desire to get more things done. But when it comes in the morning, it’s all gone.
I’m the opposite personally. I don’t do much in the morning and most of my work is at night.
We all go through the phases of not being in the mood to do something, but what The Don’t Podcast does is help you with that motivation.
Now researchers have found reasons as to why motivation comes and goes. So here’s some of the findings:
Creative work is based on inartistic motivation There’s internal and external rewards. Which are like extrinsic and intrinsic respectively.
Extrinsic motivation is cleaning your room when your friend is coming over or studying when you have a test tomorrow.
Intrinsic motivation is getting good at a video game because you find it enjoyable or analytic about story motifs from reading a lot of books.
The most common as you guessed is extrinsic motivation because there’s a desired reward/consequence for accomplishing a task.
Now this works best when you have tasks that are simple as in the objective is clear. So if it’s not creative it’s a great type for this situation.
Now this works in increasing productivity, but not every context. Example tasks that take time to do but will be completed eventually.
When looking at tasks that require creativity researchers have said it actually doesn’t lead to high productivity when you have those ‘if, then’ rewards. It actually does the opposite.
That said, extrinsic motivation doesn’t work if you’re writing a book, designing a logo, performing a song. It just creates a tunnel vision of only looking at the reward. What we need are the abstract thinking so ideas are innovating and can create new opportunities.
So let’s look at the focus on three things intrinsic motivation is made of.
One is the use of a video game style reward system which is like autonomy. Using rewards like from video games have a sense of completion and boost to the next challenge. That’s why it’s important to also put the things you like to do for fun on your to-do list as well. Wether it be watching an episode of Game of Thrones or playing basketball with your friends.
This gives you a choice in how you receive your rewards. Choices are actually more motivating then the clear cut only style of rewarding.
The second one is mastery, which is about wanting to get better at something because you have a natural passion to do so. This why I love art, writing, and playing hearthstone. I’m personally motivated to get better at them because that’s what I do for most of my hobby time.
The initial problem is first finding your passion as most of the time it finds you mostly. That’s what it’s important to always be doing something new.
The last one is purpose. It’s the reason why we do what we do. I do all the thing on this podcast because it serves a greater purpose than me. I’m not doing it just to make me feel better and have understanding of productive, but rather always hearing it from people and finally having a solution that they can use.
That’s the big three you should strive for in a career and hobbies because you’ll ultimately feel more passionate and fulfilled in your life.
Motivation can be increased by knowing how you work I can personally say when you see people benefiting from your work, it really does motivate you.
You can’t coast to inspire people. People love to see effort in what they can be able to achieve as well.
Put in practice: talk to the people who benefit from your work. Let them know how they feel and if it’s criticism then you can learn how to be better.
Track your work results from the feedback and watch it improve. It just might.
We fear losing rather than gaining Psychology says that loss is actually twice as powerful as gaining something.
There are 2 parts of this. The first is the cognitive bias which is called lost aversion. An example of this is the happiness you have when you find $10 on the ground but get sad when you lost $10 that you had in your wallet.
This is really comes down to that we feel stronger about our emotions to what we lose rather than gaining.
The other part is ownership. The feeling of giving value to something when we own it.
So try out loss aversion in your life. So use something you would put on stake for when you feel unmotivated.
It could be money, it could be something you love, make sure it’s something you care about. That way it’ll be more effective in holding accountability. This will keep you motivated if you lose it if you don’t accomplish what you’re trying to do.
If you need it, try getting a friend with you on it. It helps greatly in your path to be m motivated when you don’t feel it.
I’m going to try to do this in a new format. One that’s more personal and to know me better but to connect with you and your problems.
I want to talk about the fear of dying alone. The feeling of never feeling satisfied about who you aren’t with with in life.
I knew a class mate back in high school that passed away from a car accident just a year out of graduation. He had a girlfriend or at least a friend very close to him. One could argue he didn’t die ‘alone’ but rather was alone at the time of occurrence.
There’s tons of other horrible tragedies that happen to people just like that. Some are with others they love, some with complete strangers, but thing is you never really die alone per se.
Let’s look at the reason why
Fear is a necessity in life. It’s the push in our minds to achieve something great out of spite of the consequences if you don’t. It’s what keeps us safe from the dangers in our lives.
So the fear of dying alone is essentially a safe prevention mechanism in our minds. We as humans want to be social and connect with others on a biological level.
That’s important to know because despite being a loner or having severe social anxiety, you still have some kind of need of having other people in your life.
They don’t even need to be people though. Pets are actually quite similar in filling a missing void of companionship. It could very well be easier to have and deal with as they usually don’t talk back and in full mercy of you for their own survival.
Survival is what we do every day. It’s not apparently in this day in age because of all civilization works, but needless to say we all have the basic needs to live.
That’s a necessity and way to deal with loneliness.
Knowing the unknown
If we knew what it’s like after death would we still fear it? Depends if you believe in something like Hell, I suppose.
There are people who enjoy the mystery of life and those who want to have faith it what will be. It’s all about finding what’s best for you.
Having faith that nothing scary or bad will happen is up to you. Wether it’s in religion or from yourself.
Maybe it’s reincarnation, maybe you’ll meet everyone in your past again.
All that is a possibility so if you need to believe in something it’s there and no one can take that away from you. it’s a great feeling that the end isn’t as bleak as you might make it out to be.
Only fear what you can prevent
Nothing in this life is permanent. Your dog will pass away, your hair will grey if not fall out, move on from your best high school friend. These things are scary because we don’t always like change. Especially the change we don’t have control of.
It’s why in multiple religions there’s a level of ‘letting go’ in their philosophy. As in letting go off the things that are going to inevitably happen so you can deal with the things you do control.
Now I highly doubt you’re ‘really’ alone especially with friends, family, and even pets that are readily available. Now if it feels like those people aren’t in your life then you got something on your to-do list then.
Wether be working on your appearance or personality if it’s difficult, there is at least 1 person in this world of over 7 billion that would be willing to be your friend.
That’s all you really need as for companionship goes. Only fear is fear it’s self as they say.
Super early morning phone calls, meetings for breakfast, or just the coffee machine turning off by noon is what makes the work world prefer early risers.
You know those people who are always jump out of bed with full glee and wind down just as the sun does.
The opposite a.k.a. night owls ride a wave of the afternoon to well into the night.
Robert Matchock, Ph.D From Penn State Altoona who researches physiology and behavior says they are biological difference between the people who are productive in the morning versus at night.
There’s a hormone melatonin that makes the morning productive people more awake. The night time people have have a higher core temperature as the day goes on.
Most are actually in between productivity in morning and afternoon. The reason it seems is that it’s in genetics. Morning people usually don’t wake up with any grogginess or loss in inertia. Night people noticeable do and wake up later to have higher productivity later as the day is shorter.
Unfortunately there’s no study that says it’s possible to change yourself into a morning or night person. Our internal clock. So it looks like we’re stuck with who we are.
That’s not bad though, it’s now understanding the strengths and weaknesses of it rather than blame it for any short comings. You can still do well out your job at any time of day as long as you make adjustments in your habits and routine.
Here’s some tips that help that
- Make a cheatsheet the day before
If you’re a night owl, you’re probably not full awaken when you start working. I know because that’s how I feel. Instead of waiting it out to boost productivity, take a moment in your night to plan out what to do so you don’t have to spend time thinking about what should be doing as of right now.
The thing about lists is you need to make them as detailed as possible. No one looked down on a concrete roadmap and whatever makes success easier to achieve.
- Get your morning routine down
By taking your shower, picking out your clothes, having your breakfast ready. You notice there’s several things you do each morning.
By having them down in the most convenient order really does add up more time to your day. Even can make you have more time to sleep.
Based on science this can help drastically in mood and productivity.
- Do the auto pilot projects first
Not every project requires the same amount of effort. So it’s best to plan out what projects you’ll have the time and energy for.
I use night time for all my writing because it’s the most energy intensive of finding research, brainstorming ideas, and writing them out.
So use tasks that don’t require much energy in the early morning and vice versa for morning people.
Emails, reading news, anything creative usually is the downtime that helps with these tasks.
- Use the tough tasks for your optimal energy
The serious work, the work thats going to put most effort in is what you want on your best time of day.
Matchock says that scheduling times with people in just late mornings makes a huge difference for the night owls.
He recommends to have late morning meetings before lunch, or late afternoon because of the lower alertness and glucose levels from food can make it tricky.
- Maybe bring some work home
I say maybe because this isn’t the best solution if you’re already dealing with a problematic work/life balance. Elene Cafasso, president of Executive Coaching says people who like to work late should reserve their energy for 7-9pm for the heavy tasks.
That could mean taking your work home, but it could be worth it when you need it done in the best way possible.
Putting that time in makes perfect sense for the night person, but it can hamper the time you need to wake up though.
Having to go to bed at 1am due to work to wake up at 7 or 8am can seem unproductive though. So you have to be careful.
- See if you can start working later or even form home
Since an extra hour of sleep can make all the difference it may be best to ask or see if it’s possible to get to work from 10-6 instead of 9-5.
Rather than fighting your biology, you work with it.
Sure, this can’t always happen, but it’s not worth asking either. People care about work/life balances and you explain how this makes you work more efficiently.
Even better, trying to work from home helps working as a night person. It takes more time for power naps rather than commuting. Depending on your work environment, it may be better for you to see if that’s a possibility.
Being a night owl doesn’t take anything away from dealing with mornings. As well as it’s possible to learn which one works best for you and see your possibilities.
Ancient wisdom is about as good as wisdom gets. It’s been around forever and never ages. The classics section just might be more valuable then the self help section.
So what can a bunch of dead old wise guys have to say?
Beliefs are what upsets you, not the event.
The book, The Daily Stoic: 366 Meditations on Wisdom, Perseverance, and the Art of Living by Ryan Holiday says anyone you love can leave you. Terrible, right? Absolutely, it feels like everything is gone.
But what if you found out later that person committed the most vile crimes to their previous relationships? Now do feel about them leaving you? Not bad, bullet dodged.
So them leaving you wasn’t actually the problem here. What happened? Your beliefs were overridden to what was more important.
If you got fired from your job but you hated it anyway and believe you can easily get another one then it was a blessing.
But not if you loved your job and never think you’ll ever get another one like it. It’ll be tough to bear because we attached our beliefs by what we value.
The ancient philosophers say there’s not events that are good or bad, just the ones we are perceptive to. Shakesspeare said, “Nothing either good nor bad but thinking makes it so.” He’s essentially saying this happened to me but not something bad happened to me.
If you stop at the first part, you’ll have more perseverance and have more optimism when bad things happen.
This does sound too simple, as the ancient philosophers were adapted from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy by Albert Ellis. It’s used to help does dealing with anger, depression, and other negative emotions.
Irrational beliefs are where most of the negative emotions come from
So when’re dealing with negative emotions, think about the event but not what caused it. Ask yourself what are your beliefs about the event and are they logical?
If my wife leaves me, it’ll haunt me forever.
If I get fired, I’ll never recover.
If I don’t write this book, then I’ll question where my life is going.
Maybe third one is true for me, but the other two are completely irrational. That’s where the negative emotions draw from.
By changing belief can change feelings. If she leaves me, I can find someone else. If it happened before then the effect isn’t permanent.
So this happens when you’re overcoming sadness and anger, but what about anxiety of the future?
Do your best now, don’t worry about anything else.
In a way this is like the serenity prayer.
“God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, Courage to change the things I can, and Wisdom to know the difference.”
This started by Reinhold Nieburh in 1934, but the ancient philosophers have said the same thing 200 centuries before.
Now control was a big part of society back in the ancient B.C. days, but they were modest in what they needed. They essentially always asked the question, “Can I do anything about this?”
Do it if you can, but don’t stress if you can’t.
The philosophers say a lot of the negative problems in our lives comes from the things we try to have control over but really don’t. This causes stress and anxiety in a false sense of control.
If you focus the energy on the things you do have control of, then you’ll have more happiness and lasting achievements.
So ask yourself the question, “Do I have control over this?”
If you don’t, then don’t worry about it. So you’re belief is causing all this problems. Which is all irrational.
So the negative emotions aren’t irrational and not the correct way to behave. So you’re probably wondering what is the right way then?
Be more proactive and accepting
No one likes to instantly accept something. It correlates to settling which feels like you’re getting less than what you deserve.
But let’s think of it this way: What do you think is the opposite of accept? It’s denying, as in denial which no one wants to be.
Albert Ellis wanted to remove the word ‘should’ because we would be overall more happier. ‘Should’ makes us value our expectations over the reality.
Traffic shouldn’t be slow at this time.
It shouldn’t be raining in California.
My kids shouldn’t be misbehaving.
Denial is another aspect of irrational emotion which is where negative emotions come from. So we need to accept reality.
You accept the bad traffic, it’s there. Being in denial doesn’t change anything, but that doesn’t mean you can’t plan your trips accordingly.
By accepting might means settling to us, but it should mean accepting facts for what they are.
The problem lies in how want things to be and have to settle when it doesn’t happen.
This may protect us from the worst, but they also lock us from the amazing opportunity to become great.
The philosophers say not to waste energy fighting something you don’t have control of. Let’s just embrace it and see how we can deal with it the best of our ability.
So, next time things are looking grim, don’t deny it. It’s there. Then see what you can do about it. Actions will then be rational then.
That’s how the situation turns into it’s raining now my day is ruined because we can’t go to the park. To really It’s raining, lets go watch a movie.
So, how does this improve your life?
Choose who you will be
Most problems originate in your head. Not only that but from other people as well. We’re not alone in this world. There’s so much to learn from. That’s why we have amazing quotes like:
We don’t choose who are parents are, but we can choose who we want to be.
Anders Erricson, most famous for saying to be an expert is to require 10,000 hours into a given subject has said it’s so important to have a mentor.
Talking to someone who ultimately want to do or just admire. Having this person identify what you should be doing so you can have the desire level of performance.
So when you have a challenge in your hands, think about what would they do. This can have the effect to really change an outcome.
People you look up to are extremely helpful. But how do you get from really improving? Mentors are really people who are more experienced than you at something that you can talk to.
Every ancient philosopher we know had one if not multiple.
Having daily rituals are essential
Daily rituals can really improve your life. But what did the philosophers recommend?
Rituals in the morning and evening. So you can be ready for your day and how to reflect on how that day went.
So they thought: Today is what you’ll be facing rather than what the average person tends to do which is list down what their problems are and try to do them.
They don’t attachments into these problems when they’re going through a list. They also recommend meditation which is an amazing way to deal with stress.
Most importantly, they didn’t believe in perfectionism. They new progress was a journey and you can always get better.
It’s where the quote ’As long as you live, learning how to live.’ comes from.
Don’t set your mind on things you don’t have but rather blessing and desires that are obtainable.
What if I met my future wife? Future career? Future house? Practicing gratitude is a big impact among the philosophers because they make you realize how insignificant your problems are in the grand scheme of things.
Anything new might be overrated. Sometimes ideas that are centuries old are still just as good as they are today.
Back in 1955, a small boy asked for a job when we walked in the newly opened place called Disneyland. The labor laws weren’t as strict back then so they hired him to sell guidebooks to tourists.
Over the course of a year, he moved into the Disney’s magic shop and was mentored by the older employees. The boy would practice stand up comedy and magic tricks during that time. He just loved to perform and wanted to make a career out of it.
Once he was in high school, he started performing around the small clubs in Los Angeles. His performances were short and the people who saw him were in small numbers. There was even a time he even performed when no one was there.
The work wasn’t as fun as he thought, but was improving. His magic plays were only a few minutes long. After high school his time expanded to 5-10 minutes. Shortly he was doing 20 minutes.
He was improving.
He spent an entire decade experimenting and practicing his acts. He was a writer for a television show and was able to then get his own appearances on that show.
in 1975, he was now a guest on The Tonight Show and Saturday Night Live
It took 15 years for him to reach that success. Touring over 60 cities in 2 months. He would perform in sold out crowds for 20,000 people in New York.
He was recognized as one of the great comedians of all time.
That little boy who started in Disneyland and through out the entertainment industry was Steve Martin.
This is Steve Martin’s Journey of Success
Being a comedian is not for everyone. There’s so much fear in trying to make people laugh and in smile thats hard to believe something so positive can lead to a lot of negative emotions.
Martin spent 18 years into it. He said it took him 10 years to learn it, 4 years to refine it, and then 4 more years to master it. His story has a lot of motivation, perseverance, and positive outlook to happen.
Why do some feel motivated to accomplish their goals while others don’t? Why do some say they want to have something but then a few days later say they don’t? What’s the difference between those who have the ability to stay motivated versus those who don’t?
While scientists have been asking this question for centuries, there is still so much that hasn’t been discovered yet. The most signifiant discovery is to work on things that are in a difficulty that is doable.
The Goldilocks Rule
People love challenges. It’s in video games, sports, and board games. The thing is though, it’s all in the ability to reach accomplishment.
Imagine you’re playing golf. If you want a challenge, you wouldn’t be playing against a kindergartener because it’ll just be too easy. On the other hand you wouldn’t want to play against Tiger Woods because it’ll be too difficult to stand a chance. There just wouldn’t be a positive reinforcement to continue.
Now think about playing golf with a person who’s on equal skill level as you. You may lose or win but you’ll always have a chance to win if you try. The reason being is the task to win this game is definable and within reach.
Sure, you may not win despite doing your best, but there’s always a chance. This is what scientists have found to help keep motivation to happen.
Tasks that are below our skill level are boring. Tasks that go well above what we think we can do is too overwhelming. But the tasks that are just challenging and manageable are the ones that keep us going. We want to push further but only to a reasonable amount.
This is what referred to as The Goldilocks Rule. Which is the ability to work on tasks that are just on the edge of difficulty of our current ability. Not too difficult. But not to easy either. Just right.
Steve Martin is an example of The Goldilocks Rule looks like in a real setting. Every year his stage time expanded, did more complex tricks, and adding new material. He just had enough success to keep him going despite any mishaps on the way.
Keep an Eye on Your Progress
There’s actually a second reason that helps motivation that is helpful to know. It involves happiness with hard work.
Working on challenges that are just a slightly above your reach is what makes people feel more content about their lives. It’s as if it answers the age old question about the meaning of life.
This also leads a to a flow much like how athletes get when they start performing well. “Don’t let me get in my zone” as Kanye would say it.
It’s not just getting into a flow though, it’s also about knowing the results as you progress in your task. It’s best to have immediate feedback for each step so you know you’re heading the right direction to stay being motivated for the finish.
The ability to see progress is motivating in itself. Steve Martin was able to tell by the reaction of the audience about his jokes. It must have been such a positive feedback for him to see people in joy for what he did. That’s the inspiring push we need to improve and continue.
In other tasks, this looks different but it’s all in a combination of happiness and motivating drive. In golf, you get feedback when you make the hole-in-one. Regardless, the human mind needs to visualize progress to maintain motivation.
Two Steps to Motivation
So the mystery is how to stay motivated long enough to succeed?:
Find your Goldilocks area in attainable tasks that are just above your reach.
Measure progress to get that feedback you need to keep going.
It’s easy to say how to improve your life, but actually making it happen is another problem. So if you want to clear goals and obtain success, do what’s possible, record the results, and repeat.
“When you do something you should burn yourself completely, like a good bonfire, leaving no trace of yourself.” ~Shunryu Suzuki
What if I told you how performing like a ninja can increase productivity? Sounds fun and bit misleading? What if isn’t though?
Suzuki Roshi, a zen master who spoke about a philosophy of leaving no traces very much like a ninja. Why? So you can move on to the next thing without being held up by the previous task.
It’s the art of having a clear mind without having anything else disrupt you.
The way he states is to just clean up whatever mess your task created fully. In order words to leave without any trace. While Roshi says specifically for the mind but it applies to our lives easily.
So now you can clean up what you’ve done so you don’t think about it when you move to something else.
Examples:
Clean up your table and dishes after dinner.
Put your clothes in a dirty pile when you take a shower.
Put whatever materials away you had to use for work.
Make your bed after you woke up
This is a retroactive mindfulness and habit forming tasks that I’ve said in previous episodes but in a way that makes sense. This also allows you to know why you are motivated for because purpose helps us feel more of ourselves.
Now let’s look at the benefits of this mindset:
You don’t have any messes to clean up later
Things are now easier to understand and concentrate on
Life doesn’t seem as stressful
Spend the time of knowing where you are at and how you can transition it next.
Here’s how you can form the leave no trace like a ninja
Have reminders wether it be in The One Step Journal, sticky notes, or on your computer. If you don’t know what to do then you won’t be able to leave it’s trace.
First notice every task you do during your day and when you consider it finished.
Then consider the reasons why you’re doing your tasks.
Next clean up whatever you need to do remove your trace in that project.
Practice makes perfect
You may forget or start slow which can and possibly will happen. That’s ok. Just remind yourself and makes progress every day.
Eventually it’ll get easier and you want even have to think about it to become more like a ninja and never leave a trace.
While I’m not the average person who drinks coffee, but a large percentage people who do. You probably crave it in the morning, and wait in long lines just to have it.
Coffee is every where.
And theres so much information on it from it’s benefits to it’s nutrition to the love of what it represents. But there’s also a lot of bad information though.
Here’s some things you might have heard about coffee that are actually untrue.
1 Myth: Coffee dehydrates you
This is arguably the highest misconception. When waiters would clean up tables of people who ordered coffee and water, they would notice the water glasses would never been touched.
The misinformation comes from the biggest ingredient coffee, caffeine. It’s a substance that makes you urinate more often. So It’s easy to see why people may have thought the more you pee, the more your body needs water.
But the thing is - coffee has another big ingredient and that’s water.
Marie Barone, Registered Dietician at the UC Davis Medical Center, says drinking a few cups a day will not make you thirsty. That’s because is has a lot of water in it which is what every human body needs.
There actually is no scientific research that proves caffeine filled beverages removes fluids in the digestive system. The water gained from coffee actually replenishes what leaves.
PLOS ONE study actually showed that 3 cups of water is on par with cups of coffee in terms of hydration. That diuretic of caffeine that causes you to go to the bathroom more often is actually so little that you’ll get immune to it easily.
2 Myth: Coffee helps with sobering up
When you’re at a party you might have heard coffee helps you with sobriety so you can drive home and avoid breaking the law.
Actually coffee makes it harder for you to recognize if you’re drunk than actually prevent it.
The journal Behavioral Neuroscience, says caffeine intake can actually make you feel fine even when you aren’t.
It’s so important to know this because caffeine and alcohol is a deadly combination that disrupts your judgement more than they are separately.
Drinking water is actually the only thing that comes close to sobering up the fastest. As well as eating food that absorbs the digestion of the alcohol and just wait.
That’s all you really can do. There is no magic solution to it so the more who know this, the better for everyone’s safety.
- Myth: Coffee stunts growth
The actual myth can from really good advertising. Postum, a competitor to coffee in creating wheat and molasses ingredients wanted to shift the view of coffee to their brand.
It worked tremulously as it scared parents who wouldn’t allow their children to drink coffee anymore. It would make them hard to concentrate in school and allow down the growth of their body.
The closest in scientific study about caffeine is that they have found correlation in bone mass and calcium absorption.
Even the evidence isn’t 100% sound from the Harvard Medical School when their only test subjects were old ladies.
This may actually just be from their own aging bodies doing what happens when you’re reaching a certain age. Not necessarily from caffeine.
So that that said, there really isn’t any evidence that coffee stunts any kind of children’s growth.
4 Myth: one cup of coffee has less caffeine than espresso
A shot of expresso to an average size of a coffee cup (which is about 8 oz.) has less of a jolt power. Coffee Chemistry says 65-140mg caffeine is found in 8 oz. black coffee while an average of expresso coffee has around 40mg.
So black coffee is actually 2.3x more stronger in caffeine than expresso on average. So when you’re ordering an americano, you’re ordering it for the flavor, not for the extra caffeine, because there’s actually less.
So if you want to compare them by the volume, coffee has about 11mg of caffeine average while espresso is 40 mg by 8 oz. But who order a single 8 oz. espresso though?
It seems the myth comes from espresso having a darker roast so theres an assumption that darker is stronger in caffeine when thats not true at all. There is no study that correlates with color and caffeine amount.
So once you know these things about coffee can you truly protect yourself and make your life better as you consume it every day. Also be able to get back to work even better.
Procrastination is the thing in our heads that tell us every reason why we shouldn’t do it. It can be difficult to argue with your subconscious because of that.
The best way to counter that is to question it all.
Sometimes the beast way to interrogation your mind so you can stop procrastination. Whenever you feel stuck is when you should ask yourself the big why? questions.
This creates urgency in your actions and actually get started. So here’s some questions you need to ask yourself when your head is telling you to slack off today.
- What One Thing Can I Start Today
When we’re starting a big project it can be really hard to know where you should start. This problem is so paralyzing.
According to Dr. Tim Pychyl, starting is the hardest to overcome in any task. It’s when we actually start that a project doesn’t seem as difficult as we thought it would be.
Even if you don’t finish it in one go, you’ll feel a sense of accomplish that yes, it is possible. That confidence may be just all the momentum you need to finish.
So when you’re asking yourself what’s the first step is breaking down the project into smaller tasks. Starting easy is nothing bad despite you’ve probably heard ‘do the hardest thing first’. But when you’re facing procrastination, just do what comes naturally.
- What Are My Three Biggest Things to Do Today?
Procrastination isn’t just avoiding something you don’t want to. It can also be from just having too much work. So many requests and distractions can stop you from doing what matters especially the ones that are important but not immediately a must.
So every morning ask yourself what are the 3 most important things today? Make them specific. Then commit to them.
Block out a few hours of your day to just doing what you need to do. Once they are done do you move on to something else.
- How Can I Make This Easier?
Now a lot of people think success requires hard work and it’s true that most of the time it does. But sometimes it’s the belief of things are too hard or require a lot of effort can make us stop doing them.
Sometimes its just more efficient to be lazy at something to just get it done. Depending on what you’re trying to do, it may not matter doing it the best way possible.
For an example, You may not be able to workout every day, but you can control how much time you can devote to it.
Going to the gym and then back home can take like an hour. Even so you can do basic exercises at home in 10 minutes. Sure it’s not the same, but its better than nothing.
S.J. Scott an expert in habit building says to start a new habit is to always do it small as possible and move up gradually. Consistency is the main key here.
Also if it’s possible you can delegate your tasks, then please do so! They’ll free up your time and increase focus on what matters. It will give less reason to procrastinate.
- What Will Go Wrong if I Don’t Do This Now?
The author Jim Collins, says in the book, Great by Choice that we may have a productive paranoia in our lives. These are why people like Bill Gates and Andy Grove were always worried about the worst.
So they were extra careful about who they worked. Always preparing. Fear was a big motivator for them and thats something that helps us improve where we get our motivation from.
So ask yourself what are the consequences? Whats the worst that could happen? If nothing is, then you probably shouldn’t do it. Once there is a consequence do we actually care about things.
We all procrastinate some time in our lives. Even the most productive people. The key is making the effort in doing something every day. Which may need to start with asking the right questions.
I’ve talk a lot about breaking out of your comfort zone on Instagram. Saying yes to more things, being available to more people.
This all leads to vulnerability which can cause anxiety. The key here is to learn to embrace without being confide by it.
How I Broke Out of My Social Comfort Zone by Saying Yes to Everything
When I first started making this podcast, I thought a lot of scary stuff about it. Not necessarily shaking but full of anxiety. My thoughts of feelings were in a new strange place.
I had open myself to criticism and judgment.
It was hard to focus on work out of fear of what people might think. I would read comments, reviews, and took it all personally.
The good thing was I got a lot more positive feedback than I ever imagined. People who didn’t like what I did didn’t even care enough to say anything and those who did, well, may their voice heard.
Vulnerability Is Important, But Not If It Stresses You Out Too Much
Even though having my writing out for all to see scares me, I don’t stop because I want to improve myself, not just in being a writer. It helps me visualize and talk to myself about what’s really important.
Think about your deepest relationship, whether a friend, a spouse, or your parents.
Chances are you told them personal details you wouldn’t tell anyone else. When you get in a fight with them it probably isn’t pretty. But it always strengthens relationships because you get through it.
They learn how you function, what makes you tick, and the empathy it requires to make you feel at ease. Granted you don’t need these conflicts to strengthen, but they make you feel better about how you present your true self.
Vulnerability humbles the confirmation bias. It can difficult to talk about how you honestly feel about certain things while being in constant fear what they might think.
You open yourself up to criticism but also to opposing views. Which can broaden your horizon about what you know. These little things actually are good in the long run.
Four Resolutions that Got Me Out of My Comfort Zone This Year
Yes, breaking out feels scary, but it’s actually good for you. It improves your performance as said by Yerkes-Dodson Law. Psychologists Robert M. Yerkes and John D. Dodson explained that uncomfortableness leads to to a more consistent level of performance. But if you want to improve performance then you need to improve the level of anxiety and stress exposed.
So that feeling of stress and anxiety is telling you are growing just like sore muscles after a workout the next day.
But bear in mind too much stress and anxiety can cause you to fatigue and bestsellers less productive though. So you need to find your optimal anxiety.
Set Realistic Goals to Hedge Your Anxiety
In the last few weeks I’ve felt lethargic with my comfortability. Being more honest, being able to follow through with what I say, and being more reliable. It’s difficult to accomplish all these things at once. So that’s why I broke them up into smaller goals that are more manageable.
Blunt honesty comes super easy for some people, but people like me can be difficult about how to go about it. So I made it a goal of mine to be more honest about myself with people in general.
So if I saw a bad movie with a friend I will tell them it was a bad movie.
Stop Caring About What Others Think, and Get Back Your Self-Respect
Even telling yourself it’s not a big deal can make it more of a big deal. Which causes more anxiety than anything.
This made me realize that sticking to my plan easier overall. But not if I set a clearer goal. By just crossing it off my list gives you motivation to express honesty.
Without a goal, I probably would have lied to him without thinking about it. The most important is though, is the goal, wasn’t about his reaction. This allowed me to know we care too much about how people think.
Looking at the perspective of getting it done was worth more.
It’s when you do something and find out it’s not as scary as you thought it would be. It’s actually the anticipation that’s what scary.
Partner Up With a Friend
You can also team up with a friend to go through this discomfort together. I used to hate networking events. So whenever I was asked to go to one, I would always bring a friend.
I feel anxious when I’m meeting new people, but being with someone who knows me makes me feel better.
Also having his confidence and energy takes off the edge.
You probably know people who are used to being uncomfortable. They are spontaneous and live life on the edge. Those are friends we need in our lives to accelerate where we are in our lives. They encourage you to get out of the house and have new experiences.
What ever social activity it is, having someone you know helps deal with the anxiety of something new. Whether it be networking, surfing, dancing, or whatever.
Your friend can even introduce you to new experiences. Just be vocal about your anxiety with your friend.
Accomplishing your goals is tough, so it helps to have some support to keep you accountable.
I always hated interviews. Wether it’s interviewing someone or they interviewing me, they always winded just thinking of them.
I always worried I would saying dumb or not answer a question well enough. My thoughts always concentrated on them no matter what I did.
But I’ve gotten better at handling them through, you guessed it, mindfulness.
Keep practicing about your awareness and what you feel.
The longer you stay in your comfort zone the harder it is to get out of it. When you break out, the process isn’t as scary as it can be.
Yes, you’ll still feel vulnerable, but you’ll feel it less and gain from it more with time.
So when is the time you’re going to be more vulnerable?
When you watch the olympics, it’s every year they are breaking records. You can have a sense of seeing super heroes in action, but they definitely have their share of the problems they have in their lives. How they accomplish it is through training and determination just like we go throughout our goals.
Brenda Martinez, a professional runner at the last Olympic trials told Science of Us that she focused on the things she controlled, not the actual end game of her goal.
After she made the team for the 1500 meter dash, she recalled how she almost didn’t make it. Apparently another runner fell into her. She described it as:
“I just quickly let go of what happened in the 800m and got back to my routine, to focusing on all the little things I could do that would give me the best chance of running well later in the week.”
After all, you can’t control everything that goes into your goal. Even if you’re aiming for something lower key, like beating your best previous time in a local 5K race, things can happen. You could get injured, or race day weather could work against you. You might even show up to the track for your workout one day and find that it’s closed and will be under construction for the rest of the summer. (Yes, all of these have happened to me.)
You never know where you’ll begin. No matter how much you try to predict your goals. Especially with all the other uncontrollable things going on.
Instead, choose what you can do so and your plan how you’ll reach it - Then execute it.
While we’re all on the quest for self improvement, it’s important to know that it’s possible to achieve it. Improving your writing, lifting heavier weights at the gym, or meditating longer.
What makes this all so difficult is that it’s possible to just revert back to all the tendencies you’ve made that weren’t productive. Really making the concept of always improving every day more difficult.
I do a lot of different things out of enjoyment and to make a living, you’re probably like that as well or at least you want to be. The thing is though, is mastering many areas in life might actually be counterintuitive.
Too Many Good Intentions
If you want a lot of good habits and continually have them then you need to keep at it every time. Now how does one go about that?
Psychology research has found out how we should follow our goals:
You’re actually more likely to stick with habits if you have a specific plan of when and where you’ll do them. If you fill out the sentence: “During the next week, I will partake in at least 20 minutes of vigorous exercise on [DAY] at [TIME OF DAY] at/in [PLACE].
Researches says people who do this were more likely to accomplish what they were trying to do. This is through a implementation intentions because of how specific the planning is.
This has been proven and repeated in many studies across all habits. It helps go to the gym, eat healthier, and even stop smoking.
But the caveat is it only works on one habit at a time.
That’s a big reason why a lot of people can’t change their lifestyle just like that. Researches say you’re most likely not going to succeed if you do more than one at a time.
So it’s important for me to say again: Developing a plan to stick with what, where, and how you’ll do it will increase the odds of how you actually follow through and makes thing happen.
What Happens When You Focus on One Thing
When when creating a habit it takes a lot mental power to keep it before it turns into an automatic thought process.
Researchers have called this as a “automaticity”. The ability to perform an action without thinking about the process.
But it only happens when there’s a lot of repetition and practice. The more you so it the easier it gets.
The most important thing to consider is that there’s a maximum on when habits happen automatically. The amount of time it requires to build. Habit it always the same due to frequencies and difficulty.
Researchers say it takes about 66 days for a habit to be formed. But that’s over a widely behavioral patterns in every day life so it can be a few months for it to all come to gather.
Change Your Life Without Changing Your Entire Life
The irony in it all though is that research is essentially about changing your life by not changing your life. It’s really one specific habit and then mastering it before you move on to another.
In the journey to mastery requires a focus only one thing at a time.
If you’re in between your twenties and thirties you’ve probably experiencing a lot of problems in your life. I deal with it too. Wether it’s not knowing your purpose, terrible transitions, anxiety, or just feeling not good enough.
So you’re not alone, I’ve been there. There’s ways to overcome and realize its not as you think it’ll be.
There’s questions you’re probably asking like: is this the correct career path for me, I shouldn’t have changed paths in college, will ever be happy in my career? The average person now jumps job to job every 2 years or so. It can be anywhere between retail, to IT, to security, to carpentry, etc.
Maybe you’re living alone for the time, maybe fulling supporting yourself as well. Despite all that you’re probably getting hearing all sorts of things from society. What ‘millennials’ are doing these days. What aren’t they doing. Why aren’t they buying ______?.
It’s hard to be yourself when everyone groups you into a box. It’s also hard to transition to your own self which leads to the imposter syndrome problem. Some never feel like they ever transition into adulthood.
What Psychologists Say About The Quarter-Life Crisis
In the study titled Emerging Adulthood, early adulthood and quarter life crisis by Dr. Oliver Robinson at the University of Greenwich, He broke it down into 5 phases.
Phase 1: You’re living on autopilot mode without freedom of your choices such as career and relationships.
Phase 2: You have an urge to get out of this situation if you take action.
Phase 3: You can quit everything that is making you feel stuck and then reevaluate what you want out of your life.
Phase 4: You begin rebuilding your life.
Phase 5: You have more commitments that are more relevant to the goals you want.
Most actually get through it being better than ever before. It’s that the period of not knowing what you want or where you’re going that makes it so difficult.
It’s as almost we go through a natural state of depression as what we thought adulthood would be like in our college days and how they actually are. Or you may have settled yourself up for disappointment for having idealistic goals.
Even successful people has had similar problems. Even your own parents in one way. It really does help to talk to people about and realize that you’re not alone.
Many people go through it and maybe not admit it or show it, but they do. We get a perception of feeling like we’re falling behind when really everyone was once in the same spot.
Talking to people about your problems is a team effort. It’s why it’s important to have a mentor outside of your work and can be honest about. If many, many others have gone through this so can you.
Use This Method to Work On Your Emotional Intelligence
When it comes to understanding the biggest problem isn’t the surroundings but actually within ourselves. That said the best way to get over it is to improve yourself as a person and what stresses you out.
The benefits of emotional intelligence help greatly in exceeding this. Even the Psychological Perspectives journal entries say this is the most used skill in overcoming this problem. It’s all about reacting to things you don’t have control over and controlling what you can which are always your emotions.
Now being able to really control your emotions usually comes with age and experience. But you can also manually learn it just like any other skill have it faster.
Reasons why I started The One Step Journal is to find out what problems you were having and how you feel about them every day. Writing about your problems are scientifically proven to make you feel better.
Be aware of the words you use. Be real with yourself about them. Maybe you’ll find out your problems aren’t really that bad. Especially if they’re like annoyances rather than setbacks. We’re actually more than our emotions.
There’s no way to really skip over these problems as you would have to skip time. What you can do is work on what’s bothering you first.
So before you make a gigantic change in your life, look into how you can make the most of it so far. If the career you’re in isn’t for you then you can always start a side hobby that can utilize what you need. That’s how this podcast started so it does work.
It also helps you figure out if it’s really for you. The thing about jumping into a new path so you may not know if it’s going work out either. That’s why it’s best to start slowly.
Even with relationships don’t always think the grass is greener. It can make things worse. Fixing existing problems instead of starting over might be better in the long run.
When in a life of transition, you need to be real with your expectations. You can’t fix anything instantly - so be patient. Don’t feel like some big opportunity is going in your email or knocking on your door one day. That isn’t going to happen.
The transition to adulthood isn’t easy but it’s manageable and possible to overcome because everyone else did. Don’t feel any less of yourself because you will become a better person because of it.
So much to do with such little time. This is an on going problem in this world. But it seems extra problematic during holidays. The shopping, traveling, families, it all takes up our time.
But whatever date it is, it’s always the same: Tasks that always appear and never end. How can someone deal with this day in and day out?
Here’s some ways I’ve found to make it easier.
- Reset Your Mind
When you feel stressed and overwhelmed it’s in these moments that you need to remember you are in the present. Notice how your body feels. Take this moment notice all your five senses in and all that feels when you have these negative emotions.
While yes, stress and being overwhelmed are terrible, but it’s not the end. And if you see them as an opportunity to practice and to learn, then you got good news. This your time to take in.
Now this doesn’t have to take even a full minute. Just 5 or even 10 seconds is all you need. It’s to see how are you feeling. How your thoughts are effecting yourself. This is to wake yourself up from the dream of feeling terrible.
- Accept That Not Everything Can Be Done Today
You could have 20 things to do today maybe even 50, but realistically speaking are they going to happen today? Maybe you could do one in hour but maybe that’s it.
This is the wake up call that not everything can be done today. It’s impossible, So instead this allows us to think only one thing that matters. Just have one thing and just do that.
You delegate them, defer them, or remove them, but you can’t do them all right now. Focus on one with your full attention. This is vital in productivity.
- Do the Highest Priority First
Despite being busy, we run through all the small tasks quickly. It feels like we’re going through everything but never actually accomplishing anything that matters.
So if you’re going to be working on one thing then it must be the most impactful of your day. That probably doesn’t involve social media or tv.
One important email that will make the difference. It could help someones life, it could lead to a better career, It could move on to something even greater.
It can be tough to find out what’s the most impactful project when they’re all fighting for your attention. But if you spend some time to think what can really wait do you find out what you should do.
Even though you will still have to the smaller tasks in your every day life. These things are best when you take a break from your largest project to do. It builds a rest while still being productivity. It cleans the mind of what may have been offing you down. The key here is to not procrastinate those smaller ones.
- Do a Task with Passion
Once you’ve decided on your most important task - then set aside everything else. Remember you can’t do them all so don’t worry. Set that goal of why you’re doing that task. This is the passion that you must remind yourself at least weekly if not daily.
I do things for my dog, my parents, the friends who believe me. I’m sure you have people in your life you want to support. Create a passion for all your tasks.
Let it move you forward for your tasks. Be mindful of your mood when you do that certain task. Let it become one with yourself. You can fight back any urges when you are more attuned with a passion to your project.
- Let Go By Smiling
By having so much to do and wanting to do it all can really make you not do anything at all. That desire to get it all done can be controlled and here’s how.
That’s by letting go. Think about the things you want to do vs what you need to do. Once you figured that out let go of the things you think you need. Be open to this and watch your stress remove itself.
A great exercise to remove these negative emotions is by smiling. I know it’s cheesy to force yourself and you’re going to look silly doing it. But trust me it works. Forced smiling actually does create a level of genuine happiness.
While at the end of the day, these tasks aren’t going to magically clear your to do list but it will make you one step closer. That mindfulness of knowing what you should be doing makes your dreams more into a reality.
Never spend so much time in constant stress when you can take advantage of it. You just have too much to do to care about that. Make the best of it so you can look back and you can say I did it or at least tried to.
Sun Tzu is an infamous war strategist from ancient China and wrote the book, The Art of War. He believed in a ‘soft power’ and an ‘agile confrontation’. He essentially tried to win wars without actually going into combat or to win the easiest way possible.
He wrote,” In war, the victorious strategist only seeks battle after the victory has been won.” He then told his troops to “make your way by unexpected routes and attack unguarded spots.” which lead to state,”Military tactics are like water. For water, in its natural course, runs away from high places and hastens downwards. So, in war, the way is to avoid what is strong and strike at what is weak.”
Now while the book is more or less a ‘How to Win Wars 101’ these principles can be how we deal with our own battles in our lives. Sun Tzu’s teachings are about finding the easiest ways to achieve something.
Not only do we see these teachings in war, but in business, building habits, and generally being better version of ourselves.
The Battle for Better Habits
In a lot of ways we try to ‘brute force’ our ways into victory with our habits and mindsets. it’s possible to quit smoking right now but reality is most fail because it’s not that simple.
Really though, we’re fighting a problem head on where it’s at its strongest.
We try to eat healthier but then we’re out with our friends. We try to study when we’re watching tv. We try to write a book in a crowded subway.
It’s no wonder those things don’t happen or not nearly effective. Some people can say you don’t have the willpower to make it happen. You just don’t want it bad enough. But failure isn’t always because of willpower but more the strategy that person set.
We see it in military generals that they attack what will be the easiest and escalate from there. Once they know their opponent is not at their best and morale is low is when they engage. They never fight when the opponent is ready and expecting. In the same way, why start a new habit in a difficult environment?
Having advantage over terrain was one the biggest strengths to Sun Tzu’s strategy. Always taking the easier way instead of the harder one. Just like building strength for habits and get that better position for success.
Sun Tzu, Master of Habits
Sun Tzu had a lot of great habits. So here’s some examples in ways he builds them in his life and in war.
Example 1:
Sun Tzu said,“You can be sure in succeeding in your attacks if you only attack places which are undefended.”
What you should do:” Build habits that are at the easiest for you at the moment then scale upwards.
Example 2:
Sun Tzu said, “He will win who knows when to fight and when not to fight.”
What you should do: improve your behavior by knowing the right habits you need to start first and ones you can forget.
Example 3:
Sun Tzu said, “A clever general, therefore, avoids an army when its spirit is keen, but attacks it when it is sluggish and inclined to return.”
What you should do: make an effort to learn a habit when it’s most convenient or you.
Fight Battles You Are Destined to Win
To become a better person isn’t just a willpower or work ethic. It’s a strategic purpose. What a lot of people think are problems are the willpower but actually are working on things that are not to your advantage.
If you want to read more books, don’t do it in a room with a tv or a computer. The less distractions, the better.
If you’re looking to get more fit, don’t use a work out program for professional athletes. That doesn’t mean you can never get there but it’ll be a battle you can’t win easily. Start with something you can win easily and then escalate.
If you’re in an environment that is not positive to your dreams then move to one that can or at least talk to the right people.
Work environments can make all the difference in settings that make it easier or harder. Like getting having your kids from school to create chaos in your personal office. Make it easier on yourself.
Always play by rules that you can win, if not then there’s a good chance that you may not win. Just because they aren’t your rules.
Difficult battles are easier to get into but harder to win. But why not choose easy battles to win them instead? It’s why people make life harder.
The smartest path of improvement is the one with the least resistance. Fight battles you know you can win.
I’ve always loved reading about the next productivity system in search of the best one. But the truth is, there isn’t. It’s not the productivity system that’s the problem. It’s procrastination, discomfort and uncertainty of fear.
As with a lot of people, getting inbox zero is on everyone’s to-do list. It’s pretty simple, you read and respond to them, maybe check your finances, and prepare dinner. Being productive is super easy when you’re procrastinating the big tasks.
The best productivity methods will always suffer from procrastination.
When a task is difficult, people procrastinate, just like everyone else. The same goes for uncertainty. Download a new to-do app, organize our most import files, and start going through our emails. This all can add to procrastination.
It’s a lot more comfortable to go into little distractions and small tasks instead of dealing with big, important tasks. It’s so much easier to check social media, your favorite blog, and youtube. There’s hardly any effort in that and there’s that
immediate feeling of gratification. The hard tasks can you give you negative results and got to go through hoops to achieve it. There’s quite a difference between these two.
Here’s a few important key take aways that helps:
Take a moment to reflect. Really think about these little distractions and tasks. Take a break from the computer and take a walk, a shower, or meditate. It’s a small and simple solution that a lot of people overlook. This allows you to refocus and find out what matters instead of what’s easiest.
Remember why you’re doing it. When you’re reflecting, think about who’s benefiting from your work. Is a client, a loved one, or even yourself? How will that make your life better? Meaningful work always solves problems. Instead of thinking about it for only yourself, think of it for others.
Get used to being uncomfortable. When you’re away from your distractions, focus on only one task and feel yourself to be uncomfortable. Don’t worry, like all things, we eventually get used to it. It’s like exercising or diving into cold water, you will get better from it.
Expect the feeling uncertainty. We all don’t really know everything that’s going on in our lives. This can cause anxiety which leads to stress and unhappiness. We don’t like to work on something or think about it. We just rationalize our actions of not doing it. Really, uncertainty is necessary and even mandatory. Think about how boring life will be if you always knew how it will start and end?
This is what makes life fun – the wonder, the adventure, the journey, how you spent your time and lived your life. Uncertainty is jumping into the deep end to find out it’s actually not as deep as you thought it would be.
Yes, if you do it in large amounts it can affect your life in a negative way – so only do it small doses, it takes time to do this well every time. Then go for a walk, meditate, or whatever to take a breather. Then focus again on your next project. Then do it again. This skill set is invaluable for any workload.
So while you’re set in a productivity system, remember it’s not about you, but the problems you’re solving for others.
Having a mindset of being more productivity and the right tools at your disposal makes all the difference of getting things done.
But do we see what we are surrounding ourselves with? Our working environment says a lot about our work ethic and structure.
Most have a set it and forget it approach to it. Like our mattresses and couches, we spend most of our time at our desk or at a coffee shop.
So why not make it the best it can be?
Wherever you are, there’s always something you can do to improve your work space that works for you.
Here’s why our work environment matters even when you don’t notice it.
Studies show our work habits are based on the external triggers from our surroundings. Because we’re at the same place at the same desk, there’s a lot of influencing factors.
That’s all great to find an environment that work best for our productivity, but there’s more to it than that.
Our brain essentially wants to protect us even when we don’t know it. When there’s dire situations, we act more quickly which is called ‘thin slicing’. This means it takes a small section of reality and form into whatever behavior we act upon it.
So your work environment aren’t just affecting you as you physically work, but also the way the brain subconsciously thinks and acts.
For an example people at a Starbucks holding a hot coffee were more likely to describe other people in their surroundings to be more warm and friendly than those who were holding iced coffee.
People actually behave more professionally when there’s a briefcase in a room. This even happens if there’s just a picture of it as well and even when there’s no conscious memory of seeing a briefcase afterwords.
Same way if you talk down to yourself - you’ll start believing it. Fragrance changes perception of the products being shown. So how do we create an environment that can work the same way?
Remove the clutter before it removes you
There’s many creative and productive people who have messy desks. As Albert Einstein said:
“If a cluttered desk signs a cluttered mind, of what, then, is an empty desk a sign?”
But, there is a negative impact that your surroundings can have on your negative impact of your ability to focus and gain information.
The neuroscientists at Princeton University have found that as well. The people’s performance in organized environment vs unorganized ones had a huge impact in productivity.
Now I understand it’s not that easy to just remove stuff from your life. Clutter isn’t actually from laziness but rather the restraint one would feel by losing something in their life.
Researchers of Yale have found that losing things can be the same thing as receiving pain. So our brain was subconsciously keep that prevent self harm.
So we view loss as literal pain.
So what can we do to reduce the clutter?
-
Use constraints. This can be as easily as limit the mount of websites, magazines, social media, texting, you do on a regal basis. Stick to only what you need so you don’t have more than you should.
-
Use smaller storage. The less you can hold the less you force yourself to live without.
-
Set a monthly cleaning time to make sure that your clutter is in check
-
Use the best place that inspires you.
Large spaces or places that have large windows tend make us feel more inspired. Architectures know very well that building a corporate building will affect on its performance.
Use different places for different places of mind
So different environments are going to change how we feel and think so it’s best to take advantage of that.
Human nature loves habits. So we know what triggers them so let's take advantage of that.
What's regarded as task association is where your brain knows you are in a certain area and proactively meets your expectations.
Gregory Ciotti, a famous writer says he changes his productivity based on the device he uses. when he’s on his laptop, he knows he’s going to be reading long form articles.
When he's at his desktop he knows he's going to be writing seriously. His tablet would only be for reading smaller content.
This is the same way people use to treat insomnia by only going to the bedroom when they feel tired. If they didn't fall asleep in a certain time limit then they have to move on to some other activity and try again later.
If you have multiple workspaces it might be worth a chance to use them all for specific tasks.
While saying you have the willpower to make certain things happen sounds good and all but that doesn't always work that way. We are inherently lazy at some point or another.
So if you want to have a workspace be easier for you and your work then focus on that. As well as making it more difficult for the work you don't want to do.
Design to make being lazy hard.
Having a drawer for your desk so you can put distracting away such as your phone can make all the difference.
It’s not any different from turning off the tv or listening to music that’s too distracting. Some can be good background noise - some aren’t and only you will know that.
Bad news for those of us in shared spaces or offices.
Chances are you have to work in a noisy setting regardless of your choice. That’s why I always recommend good noise cancelling headphones. They drown out everything you don’t want to listen to and keep the ones you do.
Human nature will always win regardless of what we do so the best way is fight with it - not against it. We all have triggers so the best way to manipulate them is to understand them in the first place.
Mindfulness goes a long way and once you have it does your workspace work for you.
The Most Underrated Skill: Listening
Everyone likes to say they’re a good listener. It’s one of those easy traits that everyone has a fundamental level such as I can communicate my words and write down words. Similarity though, people also say they’re a good driver but is that really the case?
People think listening is about doing 3 things:
-
Not talking when others are speaking
-
Giving non-verbal cues that you are listening such as nodding your head
-
Being able to repeat what was said
In theory this sounds good but put into the test as faults that don’t work out.
A study of over 3,000 people in help of making better managers i business have found out that differences in listening abilities goes down into 4 categories.
Being able to listen well is more than just being silent while the other person talks. Actually people believe the best listeners are able to ask questions that are engaging to the current topic.
Just nodding your head doesn’t give the most accurate evidence that someone is listening, but asking a good question is all the proof they need to make it work. Listening is essentially a 2-way street rather than a person who’s hearing vs a person who speaking. Good conversations are active ones.
From the studies, good listening is also a reflection of a person’s self- esteem. By being a positive experience has made conversations more engaging and overall more pleasant to comprehend. So by not talking a critical tone has helped people listen better.
Another section was good listening is about cooperation. In a good interaction, feedback moved back in forth smoothly. While in poor listeners were seen as better debaters but not in a cooperative manner that results in a better conclusion. It’s not about winning an argument but helping to resolve any problems.
Lastly, good listeners make good suggestions. Feedback is a wonderful way for us to improve as people. Good listening skills are no different in that in order to know the correct paths and the self awareness to know how.
With the power of suggestions allows us to stop jumping to conclusion and address the situation. Similarity trying to be a sponge in a conversation that sucks up the info but doesn’t really doesn’t contribute out.
Instead good listeners are like trampolines. It’s about the ideas you bounce off from rather than absorbing it. Gaining energy and height from a conversation is exactly what makes a good listener.
Each of these sections of listening can build off of each other. So if you’ve been criticized for jumping to conclusions it’s because you’re not using all different uses of listening.
Now with this knowledge you can now understand exactly what is being said and how to contribute it in a productive and effective way. Not only does this enhance our own wisdom but makes you a better person to talk to.
So let’s start more conversations together.
Bad work habits are one of the biggest problems that holds us back. It can always being late, casting blame, forgetting meetings, or just an excuse for anything.
B.R. Andres from The American Journal of Psychology in 1903, wrote “A habit is a more or less fixed way of thinking, willing, or feeling acquired through previous repetition of a mental experience.”
Habits are essentially are a subconscious loop. This includes personal, societal, and organizational. The actions you do without thinking.
In The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg, he says habits essentially work on a trigger that sets off in our brain while we’re in autopilot. There’s a certain reward system in the mind that gives when we do it. This is what reinforces us to keep doing it.
While every one has a habit, they can also be bad - especially in the workplace. In common I’ve seen people send a lot superfluous messages over Facebook, email, and slack when that can be simplified or put on hold.
The desire of wanting to finish a task like sending an email gives a feeling of moving on to the next. There’s a reward of accomplishing something but the problem here is that is that email worth writing out and sending though?
Sometimes it is and sometimes it’s not - there lies a problem of doing work that seems meaningful on the surface but at the end of the day, doesn’t accomplish anything.
Habits are born out of this - the loop of trigger to routine to reward. It’s a constant cycle that creates anticipation and wanting rewards.
That dopamine we get when we get a notification on our phone is almost impossible to ignore. It all can stop productivity. So how do you fix it?
It’s time to break the habit
Like with all problems the first step in solving them is to identify the problem. This is through awareness. When you’re going through your habit process, you’re more likely to be on autopilot and might not even know what you’re doing. Instead of fighting yourself though, be curious about your current situation.
Get curious in the moment
When you’re going through your emails and notification or what ever you spend a lot of time in. Notice what you’re doing and ask yourself that is it improving your situation and necessary for any progress. If not, then you know you should probably stop messaging on every little thing that comes out.
There’s a lot of false sense of productivity out there. Just because you’re doing things doesn’t mean it’s good. You’re essentially playing wack-a-mole with a fake prize at the end.
Transforming Bad Habits by Replacing Routines
While you can’t just remove a habit in a snap, you can retrain your mindset about the cue and the reward. If there’s the same cue with the same reward - you change the the formula.
So when you’re going through a notification or so turn off everything but the necessary tools you need to get work done.
The Hidden Benefits of Habit Reform
The thing about removing one bad habit is that effects the other bad habits as well. like dam holding back a river of productivity. If you can remove one, you can remove them all.
What if you spent a week looking a bad habit and started to think what could I do instead? What greater good would come out of it? Would the work speed be faster? more efficient? More profitable?
Once you know habits can change do you have the ability to create your life and how you respond to everyone else’s. Now it’s easier to work. Better, faster, and stronger.
At the time of saying this I’m 90% done with book about starting and productivity. It’s a working title at the moment and I wish to share what I’m learning from it.
Every time I open my One Step Journal, It’s a reminder of all the projects I still haven’t started yet. It’s the passion projects that I don’t have time for. I don’t even know if I will ever have time for them.
It reminds me of that time I read about a nurse who took care of people in their final days. The most said regret they said to her was not going after their dreams as the highest priority.
When people know their time is limited they are now able to look back on things with more hindsight. Most didn’t even achieve half what they wanted and were force to go knowing they won’t ever happen.
The nurse says, “Every day we choose how we spend the amount of hours we’re given. Most often just comes down to procrastination and fear of just starting.”
Apparently 95% of the American population all deal with procrastination even myself. While time management can go only so far, it’s the why we fail to start in psychological and emotional reasons.
Do Something Your Future Self Will Thank You For
Procrastination is more than just putting off something to a later date. It’s knowing there will be negative consequences in the future due to the procrastination.
We’re not just being careless. It’s purposely sabotaging your future with a short term pleasure rather than a long term benefiting one. So much studies say that procrastination leads to so many mental problems such as anxiety, depression, and outlook on life.
Dr. Piers Steel, an organizational behavior professor at the University of Calgary, has created a formula that allows one to know when you’re procrastinating.
Motivation is the drive for action that all requires for the will of action. It’s what economists call utility. At the vert top of the formula, anticipation is the odds of all outcome coming from choices. While value refers to how the reward will be spent.
Underneath, impulsiveness is your sensitivity to delays (how easily you get distracted) and delay is how long you have to wait to receive the reward.
So with all the choices coming down to expectation of a positive outcome vs how long it will actually take. Sounds easy, right? We weigh the value for the amount of given effort that’s going to be used. But what happens when our view of the value isn’t exact?
Dr. Fuschia Sirois, a psychology professor at the University of Sheffield, England, has called this “temporal myopia,” or the inability to see into your future.
There’s different ways we see the future - It can be through planning and plotting goals, or positive affirmations. With procrastination, it becomes blurry. It then becomes more undefined and impersonal. There is a lack of personal and emotional connection with who they are and who they will be.
Another problem is time inconsistency is which said from behavioral economists. It’s the brain’s reason of valuing immediate rewards than those that are in the future. Add it all up and it’s no wonder poor decisions are made with not a whole lot of rewards.
Motivation in tasks start when we see value in it. Yet we place the value on what is currently happening of the present rather than justifying who and where we will be in the future.
This why you go to bed wishing for change and then waking up with the exact same problem.
Learning to Diet in a Candy Store
The world we live in actually against this ideology and only furthers the problems we have.
In Dr. Steel’s research he equates our day-to-day lives as trying to diet in a candy store and then being blamed for getting fat. We’re being herded towards a place of consumption over and over. And consumption trumps creation.
Every day products are compelled to how you used them. Products are now being made in impulsive consideration with surprise deals. They are designed to make you want to use them every day.
It has now been a survival of how you use things such as your phone or internet.
Present you: 1. Future you: 0.
The ancient philosophers Socrates and Aristotle invented the word: Akrasia. Which is the weak willed unable to see the long benefits of their labor. This is shown in binge watching tv or reading a book.
We essentially are delaying gratification is a big reason for any kind of failure. Success takes work. Sometimes there’s no promise of a reward. Yet the world wants us to have an reward even if we didn’t deserve it.
Look forward to my book as I expand on this and cover a lot more topics in a couple of weeks.
There’s a lot of problems in life. One is not knowing when to give up and move on to something else.
Perseverance is my favorite word and there’s a level of grit required to accomplish anything worth doing, but you’ll deal with a ton of doubt. That constant inner resolution isn’t fun.
In dealing with a successful relationship, a goal, or learning a new skill, then just going through it all may well very well be worth it.
But of course that ‘Don’t give up’ talk isn’t always the best solution. A lot of successful people have given up. If it’s not working, then it’s totally understandable to just give up.
Instead they they go back to the drawing board and try again. They’re not insane because insanity is just doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results.
In life, there needs to be a healthy about of both. There are times you need to go all in with full force. Other times just try doing something else that may be different. So when do you know when to give up and move on?
By understanding the different stages of failure.
The first stage is Failed Strategy. The ‘how’ in the mistakes. This is what happens you built a faulty system that doesn’t work as should. Essentially comes from laziness or failure to detail. It’s all about executing a good plan with clear goal.
This second stage is Failed Initiation. The ‘what’ mistakes. This happens when you have a strategy, but failed to give the outcome you wanted. It’s the you know what to do to make it work, but chose not to.
The third stage is Failed Insight. The ‘why’ mistakes. Its what happens when you don’t set a clear vision. It’s essentially failing at understanding what reason you do things.
Now how does this all look like in a real world situation? Here’s a story that showcases that.
Emily Johnson was a small business owner in 1987. She loved to work with cosmetics and hair styling. Needless to say she was good at it. Emily believing her salon would be the best in town with the highest level of service and affordability.
But that wasn’t the case. Emily was working at least 80 hours a week just make ends meet. A single mother of 2 and dealing with depression.
Just one missed payroll and her salon would have collapsed. The stress level was an all time high.
A week before Emily was going to miss her payroll - she had an epiphany.
She lacked the system and vision she needed to keep it all afloat. The problem was everyone was doing their own thing about how they thought it should be.
Emily believed that if she had her team all in unison about how they would go about their operation. The time spent doing one thing would go down tremendously.
If she perfected her systems her stress levels and free time. She immediately began writing down all the processes of her business.
For an example she had a 4 step procedure for answering the phone, taking reservations, and cleaning the bathroom. Thought about how to make the process simpler and easier.
What happened?
Emily’s schedule went from 80 hours to less than 20. She no longer had to handle every procedure and quality of attention went up. Even her revenue went up by 35%.
To this day, she opened up another salon and still expanding with more time than she need she could have.
So what procedures are having problems with?
Sometimes the right strategies are the simplest. It’s when all the additional things cloud our vision and makes things more difficult than it should.
Sure, these are not world changing solutions, but they help deal with the most important ones making dreams into a reality and having more time to do so.
So you may not be on the wrong path, just not a clear one.
So what strategies are you facing?
just finished reading Design Your Day, by Clair Díaz-Ortiz. It’s mostly targeted those in freelancing roles and business owners. Even if you’re not one of those positions there’s something to learn from it for everyone.
Most of the ideas are common sense, but are shown in a way that we don’t realize throughout our day. Here’s some ways that I’ve learned that would be helpful for you to implement right now.
It’s all about outlining and brainstorming ways we can improve in our days and can expand personal time.
- Write out everything you want to accomplish in a year. Be specific and make it quantifiable. I.e. I will make X amount of money by X date.
- Think of a word of the year. Center it around every action you do. Make meaningful and rememberable.
- Make two lists. One for the accomplishment and one for the big milestones. Meaning the ones where you got a promotion, got married, or something like that will change your life for the better.
I know it’s hard to do this alone so I’m doing this with you. So I will also share what I’m doing for these three sections. Hopefully this will give you inspiration on your own time.
- My goals is to expand this podcast and stick to making an episode a week. I know faltered this already one time as I had an unfortunate financial setback. but I’m continuing regardless of that.
- My word of the year is perseverance because it’s the one word I say to any person who is trying to live their dreams doing something they’re passionate about. At the end of the day, perseverance is what separates those who do it and those who quit.
- My biggest wins is so far have been being a part of my local humane society dog-a-thon event. Another one will be accomplishing will be on my friend’s podcasts to give them support.
So when you’re making your lists. Think about the things only you can do. Things that other people can do, and what you shouldn’t be doing.
So the things that only you can do and the big milestones are the number one priority. The things other people can do and your milestones are the next ones.
But anything that doesn’t lead to big wins shouldn’t really be bother or at least at the very moment of priorities. Be aware of what is and what could be are different things entirely.
This leads to the list of what you should stop doing entirely. These are things that aren’t helpful or actually harmful. Gambling? Too much video games? Sleeping in?
Stop doing goals are just as important as doing goals.
What does your lists look like?
FOMO is a recent word that’s used a lot these days. It’s even been added to the Oxford English Dictionary in 2013. But what is FOMO? FOMO is the acronym of fear of missing out. ‘‘the uneasy and sometimes all-consuming feeling that you’re missing out – that your peers are doing, in the know about, or in possession of more or something better than you’’. Apparently 3/4 of young adults say they’ve been experiencing FOMO. An example of this would be the feeling of always checking social media, every period of time in case you don’t miss out on something. No one want’s to be ‘out of the loop’ or feel left out. I can see why people would get into it. It removes anxiety to a certain extent but also add to it. It then becomes a stationary bike where it feels like your progressing and feeling good about yourself. It’s just part of life? Is this something that people shouldn’t care about? Is there a remedy for this? It’s possible to fix this problem but first I want to say FOMO is a serious problem here’s why: FOMO dwells in unhappiness When you’re in the FOMO cycle, you’re probably not in a good moment in your life. That’s because FOMO comes from the feeling of being unhappy. That’s because we have low enough feeling of satisfaction in our lives, The rewards of not feeling left out reach higher in moods and overall appreciation of life. So you’re probably dealing with things that you rather not, I get it, it happens to all of us. The thing is though, no one is really showing it on social media like Facebook. It can really make you feel like everyone is having fun without you. The average amount of people check social media the first thing they wake up or even get all their news sources from. Most do it during meal, bathroom breaks, and before they go to bed. Needless to say, there might be an addiction if you can’t go a day without it. People with FOMO are essentially using social media to make themselves feel better. But it actually makes them feel worse. Social Media is never what you think it is Now we'll know that social media doesn’t depict everything about one person’s lives but rather how they choose to show it. It’s like a highlight reel of their day or week. Sure this can come off like bragging and personally that feeling is why I’m not too much into posting on my own accounts. Even while knowing this is just hard to not compare yourself to this. In the book:The Paradox of Choice: Why More Is Less/ by professor Barry Schwartz says: “Stop paying so much attention to how others around you are doing”. It’s easier said than done, really because a lot of us do care about our status and what we do. When seeing others doing or accomplishing things you haven’t then it’ll make you feel bad. It’s like looking at your bank statements and looking at the ones from Forbes 400 list. Jealousy is really all the fun you think they had. You’re living your life 24/7 but only seeing a 5 mixture video or a photo in one moment. We fill the gaps of what we don’t know with the things that could happen - but most likely never actually did. You just can’t compete with their highly-edited version of lifestyle awesomeness especially when you’re feeling a little down or anxious to begin with. So how does one deal with this? is it to start posting how great your life is too? It really shouldn’t because you’re only feeding into the same problem. Now you’re probably wondering what is the real solution then? The solution is where you get your happiness from Looking at social media for happiness is trying to go to McDonalds to lose weight. It’s not going to happen in the way that you think it will. Social media isn’t real life. Yet we are trying to believe that the real life is the same as the fake life. So happiness must from the real life which is inside you. This all comes down to one word that people who are having FOMO need: Attention Looking on the bright side is a cliche because it’s hard to do but it does remind the message of looking at the good makes the bad less apparent. Happiness is essentially comes from where we draw the attention towards. Attention is what makes everything connect and work into a lifestyle system. Because of limited resources of say, time, we have to value where we spend it to get that happiness. If you’re not happy about where you are - it’s probably because you’re spending too much time on the things that shouldn’t have your attention. So when you go into the rabbit hole of FOMO - you’re dealing with the fake world in trying to find happiness and then surprise, surprise, it’s not there. The best way to stop getting caught up in it all is to practice gratitude. What are you happy that you have? Home? Friends? Family? Pets? Now think about if those things weren’t there. You probably wouldn’t feel good. So you’re lucky to not deal with that. It sounds silly to do but research says it works. University of Chicago professor John Cacioppo, the leading researcher on loneliness, says that gratitude helps make it all feel better about where we are with our lives. So instead of dealing with FOMO - deal with FOBO - fear of better opportunities. So when you’re looking at other people’s lives remember the only thing you’re missing out on is your own.
Whether you’re a manager or a creative, everyone has to critique about how they feel about someone else’s work. Giving feedback on the surface sounds pretty easy. But when you’re asked immediantly, the thought of how you go about it can be difficult.
To be able to give feedback is a necessity skill to have so that’s important to know how.
Know the differences of negative & positive feedback
It’s natural to want to but positive spin on feedback. Positives words are more alluring to negative ones. Even when that’s not possible there’s always a way to sugar coat the words. Or even put the negativity in between 2 positive sections.
It’s doesn’t have to be black and white. Actually positive feedback isn’t always good and neither is negative feeback always hurtful.
Most experts are actually wanting to hear how they can improve even if the feedback ‘hurts’ so to speak. It’s actually the beginners that seek more into the praise in feedback.
As the authors of How Positive and Negative Feedback Motivate Goal Pursuit explains: “When anticipating a problem in a timely meeting of a deadline at work, the novice will likely seek positive feedback that affirms her perception that she can meet the deadline, whereas the expert will likely seek negative feedback that will help him stay on track and overcome further distractions.”
More studies have found out that too much praise doesn’t give any extra improvements. A group of students in a study were constantly being praised over the course of a month and never really improved because there was no need to have progress.
So there needs to be a perfect balance in positive and negtive feedback. Negative feedback needs to be clear and timely but not personal. Positive feedback needs to be uplifting but not overshadow the negatives.
Here’s 6 things you can do to give better feedback:
- Be Specific
All feedback is better when it’s more specific. For an example saying that you would like a person to be more vocal in a team meeting might sound like good feedback but it’s actually vague. By having something quanitifiable will allow people to know how to improve.
So saying that you want a weekly update on the potential improvements in a meeting is more exact and thus easier to improve. There’s no misunderstandings so the feedback comes a lot more clearer.
- Be Immediate
Feedback must be timely especially with all the details in a fresh mind. If you wait until a later time it can be more difficult for a that person to understand what actually were the problems.
When living in age with constant notifications, it can be tough to get the correct attention. What we need to is to schedule a time to give feedback. Even if it’s just 5 minutes. It’s important to have a reminder and set time for it.
- Tie Feedback to Goals
Every dream needs a goal or it’ll just stay as a dream. Feedback is no different. You need to have a goal.
When you give feedback without a goal then whatever youre trying to accomplish won’t probably happen.
Saying ‘Stop trying to make your work perfect.’ Doesn’t help the person what they should do. Instead we should this needs to be out by next week and we can refine it after we get initial feedback.
Feedback must be clear have a reason as to why you have given this feedback.
- Ensure Feedback Is Actionable
Just like goals, you need them to actionable in order to connect them together stronger. At the time of writing this I’m also writing a book. The problem is I tend to change past and present tense to often and gets confusing to read. A friend after reading some of it has really helped me by stating:
“The biggest problem I see is that amount of present and past tense verbs used throughout your chapters. Don’t be afraid to stick to one concept and just expand on it rather than jumping from one concept to another.”
The key take away from that was to say A causes B rather than A sometimes causes B to happen. It’s more clearly defined and confident sounding.
So saying there’s a lack of cohesion in your tenses throughout your chapter wouldn’t have been very helpful. So now by thinking what exactly happens can improved how it reads.
- Use the Right Language
Language is the leading precursor to get the right behavior. Words can build or break someone down. You can give encouragement to boost them to a new height or bring someone down into negativity.
There’s a technique called plussing that is presented in Pixar movies.
Plussing is giving feedback without having to deal with negative feelings. When the director goes over the character models of the next movie, He doesn’t say: ‘It’s all wrong!” he says it in more encouraging words: ‘What if’. Plussing is essentially to give other ideas without trying to say it’s wrong. It’s more is there a better?
- Don’t Avoid It
When things get too tough it’s feels easier to quit. But like the The Don’t Quit Podcast title is if you don’t try then you won’t get anywhere.
As best-selling Author Nora Roberts, said: “If you don’t go after what you want, you’ll never have it. If you don’t ask, the answer’s always no. If you don’t step forward, you’re always in the same place.”
Giving any and receiving bad news can cause conflict. A lot of either know it’s important and healthy to have it while others avoided as much as possible.
There’s a level of irony in all feedback because you need to become better than just hearing what you want to hear. Or even saying what they want to hear.
Look into your past and think about any feedback that helped you out. A professor helping you to study better. A parent teaching you a life skill. A friend showing you a new hobby. If you want to get anywhere in life you need to progress and improve.
Hopefully these six tips helps give the better feedback that other people would love to hear. It’s not scary and it’s not mean, it’s love in words that take time but it’s worth it.
Regret can be one of the hardest things to move on from. It’s like a deadweight that rides on your back through life. Slowing you down and makes you tired. For some though, it can be that energy boost they need to move faster rather than being a hindrance. Why is that some people are motivated by regret or just slow down in fear by it? It most likely the difference in self-compassion. Researches from UCLA had 400 random adults write down their biggest regret and then write bout the self compassion of it. Some said relationships with people who cheated on them, others wrote about arguments they had with their parents. Half the group wrote down about their regrets and their self esteem from that. They were encouraged to use positives rather than negative thoughts. The questions from the results has lead that the people who were more positive in journals thought it was a self improvement assessment. The negative ones weren’t able to essentially learn from those prior mistakes and were more likely to repeat them. Why? The participates were asked if they have forgave themselves since then to see if there was a correlation. As it turns out there was a correlation. Those who were more acceptance about their regret were more motivated to improve and more humble. This self-compassion allows people to identify why they regretted something and allowed to be free to find opportunities to move on from it. So if we’re more accepting to our past, we can tolerate it and learn from it than live in denial or ignorance. If there was one thing to learn from this is that anyone can practice self-compassion about their regrets. Those who are compassionate have the motivational drive to write about the positive experience out of a regret without being told so. This is the same for controlling self esteem. So ask yourself: “Imagine that you are talking to yourself about this regret from a compassionate and understanding perspective. What would you say?” That’s all it takes to change your perspective.
Everyone knows the most most important resource is time. Especially when we have a full time job, a side hobby, family, and friends all taking a part of it.
One of the most time consuming things we have in our professional lives is emails. Emails are super convenient in receiving and sending them on our schedule. But reality is we usually need to respond to them asap or eventually get overloaded with them.
Inbox zero seems like an unobtainable goal. But the less clutter, the better. That’s why I suggest writing longer emails.
I dislike emails. Emails would just pile up over the week. They just never feel like they end. Granted a lot of these serve a purpose to me, just not when I need them.
The best process I’ve come up with is process elimination email.
First is to identify the goal of every email. Is to have a meeting? Launching a product? Always have a clear goal.
Now think of a process that allows the least amount of emails being sent. Then tell the recipient how you’re going about less emails.
For an example, let’s say a friend sends you an email.
Do you want to grab coffee sometime soon?
Resist the urge to reply: “okay, what works for you?”
Sure, that message would be quick to write, but it does not outline a clear process that minimizes back and forth messages. Indeed, it is likely consigning you to a long, attention zapping thread.
By here’s how process should go:
Sounds great. I propose we meet at the Starbucks on campus. Below I have listed four dates and times over the next two weeks. If any of these work for you, let me know and I will consider your reply confirmation that the meeting is set. If none of these times work, then call me or text me on my cell () during one of my upcoming office hours (Tue/Thur from 12:30 to 1:30), when I’m sure to be around, and we’ll find something that works.
Yes, this makes emails longer to write. I get it, not everyone even likes to write. But the amount of time saved by writing this helps tremendously.
No longer do you have to go back and forth to drag out something that can be easily taken care here and now.
It’s a problem that a lot us read about: to choose a career doing what you love. Should a person go with their passion? Or does it make more sense to take a career solely on income?
As a person who illustrates children books, motivational prints, writes publishes books, and hosting this podcast. I can safely safe I know what’s it like do what you love for a living.
I’ve worked and known people in the more ‘lucrative’ industries so I see the pros and cons they have. To clarify that following your passion is doing something you are deeply passionate about. But do tend to have an average or less income. (Not always though).
The opposite are the careers that grant an above average income and aptitude that will lead to a strong career path. But the downside of not enjoying any of it all. (Also not ways though.)
Life is probably going to pull you through both paths Going through my college education was in art (design as I consider myself to be much more a designer than an artist.) There wasn’t any design or hardly art related classes in my high school so I stuck with the standard curriculum, math, english, science, etc. I never cared about income at all.
After college I knew it was going to be difficult but I knew my passion and identifying problems people have that I know my creative abilities are useful.
That’s what lead to TyypoPrints and the Don’t Quit Podcast. It’s all about solving people’s problems through creative methods and self reflection.
Yes, I could go into the practical careers as I do dabble in programming and accounting. But they’re not my passion.
So here’s some truth and misconceptions about what it really means to do what you love for a living.
It’s certainly possible to do what you love and live off of it They’re going to be naysayers that you can’t do something full-time. But as I’m living this – it is very possible. Many other people have and are doing as well.
So, how come not everyone is doing that?
My reasoning is that there’s no direct path or guarantees. The skills that require you to do what you love may not really be in demand so there’s no reason to gain income when no one feels you deserve it.
That’s what the most common are self employed either running a business as themselves such as a freelancer or owning a business such as TyypoPrints. You’re essentially ‘hiring’ yourself.
It’s important to note that whether self employed or employed money doesn’t rain from the sky, it’s always earned from another human being. So that’s the biggest challenge to getting people to value what your passion is.
Now the ‘practical’ careers are usually in high demand so generally not too difficult to obtain.
Another reason is that there’s a level of grit and work ethic it requires. You could love writing – maybe even writing about medical related topics. But if you had to write about that topic for hours every day would you still love it?
Would you have the grit it would require to be successful in that career? Grit is necessary to get the required skills it takes to good a job. A lot of people start going into their passion career but realize they don’t have the grit to continue it. There’s a constant feeling like it’s not going to pan out.
I’ve spent thousands of hours and days to design things that worthy of wearing and showing off. Those hours spent writing, preparing, and revising. This is all the process of continuing and improving.
It can do what you love but don’t expect it to happen instantly or even in the next year.
There is No Job That’s 100 Percent “Doing What You Love”
I love what I do – or I wouldn’t be doing it. The feeling of satisfaction when people listen to this podcast or read my books makes it all worth it. Tons of freedom and fun.
But it’s not all sunshine and rainbows. There’s a lot of fears I have that all of this isn’t going to work out especially when I’ve put in hours and hours into it. There’s a level of feeling like everything I do, spend money and time can be a waste.
Not only all that but there’s routines that I have to do before I can do other things. While I have freedom but I have to sometimes follow other people’s desires as I’ve mentioned before – my living is earned from their approval.
Don’t even get me started with taxes.
So there is no job that’s 100% “doing what you love.”
Let me repeat that.
There is no job that’s 100% “doing what you love.”
The best creatives in the world still deal with their audience which can be fickle, disrespectful, or not even there. Famous people can’t leave their house without being harassed by people and the media.
When you’re doing something you love you’re essentially trading time for things you want to love to do – if that’s something you purely love to do then might have too high of expectations and thus leaving disappointed.
To do what you love to do is without anyone else’s approval or judgment but the reality is that’s not how you’re going to make a living on your own. In which point that becomes more of a hobby than a job.
There’s always a catch and something you will have to deal with.
The best way to start doing what you love is by having a side gig Everything I’ve accomplished started as a side gig.
None of this just happened full time instantly. It all started in college and was always during the after hours or weekends. None of it was main focus.
There’ a level of safety and no pressure when it’s just a side gig. So if it fails it’s never the end of the world.
You’re probably going to fail at first I say this loosely as I don’t really consider my ‘failures’ to be failures. What I mean is that I re-purposed original ideas or work into something that was more useful and lead to more results.
This may be different to others though. As my side gigs never coasted any serious investments other than time. Maybe you invested a lot of resources into a book or panting materials that never worked out. That’s a bummer but there’s also a learning lesson in all that.
That’s with all things in life. Look at any serious entrepreneur and they failed multiple times before they made a million dollar business.
Failure is a part of life and more about something you recover from more than anything.
What you original thought might be different If you told me in high school all the things that I’ve accomplished so far I probably wouldn’t believe you. Not that I wouldn’t think it would be possible but more would have the passion to do them.
Reality is that we change and as we go about our our passion might not originally be what we thought it was going to be. I wanted TyypoPrints to be just about art prints but has expanded greatly since then.
My stories in my books always have to be changed in some way to make sense or to get people to be interested in it especially after getting feedback. Revisions and pivoting are a part of it all. You learn to accept and embrace it.
Love can be fleeting and so can your side gigs I’ve had passions to start an arcade business and nonprofit for endangered species but I’ve never went though them because they slowly weren’t my passion as I went through college.
That isn’t to say that I may have been successful in doing those things as I just no longer want to pursue them.
That’s normal and something we do as we learn more about ourselves and what we want to do in lives.
The best thing is move on to something that is more fitting and attainable for you.
Final Thoughts So you too can do what you’re passionate about but thinking it’s all possible from the get-go is the hard part. Instead ease yourself into it. Don’t cast everything into it. Be prepare for failure and don’t get too attached to your ideas – they are not your children.
“Some things need to fall a part in order to fall into place”
When you’re it feels like you can’t do what you love just keep telling yourself that quote.
“So tell me a time you failed at something?”
This is a common question you may tried not to roll your eyes at when you were asked this during an interview. But does the answer deserve to be frowned upon?
I know, no one likes to talk about their failures. Yet when you’re asked you either do two things: Either change the subject in a sly way because hey, they wouldn’t be asking for an interview if they didn’t see you qualified.
Or you do the complete opposite. Which is to talk about a mistake but dwell on it. It’s an easy way to give a bad impression. You try to laugh it off but the damage is done. That person no longer wants to consider you.
Like all judgement, there’s a level of humility to talk about responsibilities but there’s a line in appearing to have low self esteem.
This goes for all things about self criticism – not just in interviews.
So you don’t want to be blameless or be self doubting when talking about your past mistakes.
Here’s how you can do this:
1. Avoid Being a Martyr
You didn’t get a good night sleep, our schedule is packed from a co-worker being sick, your phone is receiving a bunch of emails. These are all reasonable excuses at the time and thus feel like they can be swept under a rug.
But what happens if you’re naturally just too hard on yourself when it comes to mistakes you make? It’s possible you have the habit of making excuses for everyone else but you. So you forget to mention this detail in talking about this with people.
While yes, don’t speak ill of others and make it seem like you don’t have self awareness about your own shortcomings. But when being asked about failures – it’s best to be as accurate as possible.
By saying ‘There was miscommunications on my team’. Sounds more truthful yet depends that there wasn’t anyone to blame for this including yourself. It’s far less negative sounding than immediately blaming yourself and then lead into a joke which may not be appropriate.
Key tip: Be honest as much as possible and don’t cast blame.
2. Stay Away From Harsh Language
Name calling words such as dumb, idiotic, reckless, etc.
These are words that should be removed form your vocabulary because it doesn’t cast you in a good light. Really you we all should state situations for what they are through.
Yes, you may have missed an important presentation because you forgot to that other states are in different time zones. But sounding harsh on yourself implies you have a hard time forgiving yourself.
Key tip: Never talk down to yourself – or anyone really.
3. Emphasize What You Learned
A ay part about failures is that they are ultimately learning lesson – if you think that way. You want to be positive because don’t like negativity. SO going beyond the problem think about how that won’t happen again.
Being positive as two things: You are about self improvement and you can be constructive when talking about negative things. Sure you might not like what has happened but this shows your outlook of your life and your future.
Key tip: Failure is a learning lesson
Despite what ever you missed the mark on there’s no wonder that you can be positive and reassuring that the past will always be in the past. Be humble and remember we’re all human. Never feel like a failure because you’re more than that.
It all begins slowly. Heart beating faster, mouth drying up. Sweat starting to pour. Then next thing you know, you got stress bringing you down. It’s a part of life and it’s actually something we can control. Rather, people view it as something to bring people down.
That Cheesy ‘Keep Calm and Carry On’ design everywhere says how to deal with stress, but is it applicable? Might as well be shutting down and stop doing everything.
Stress is complex because it affects so many areas and at different times. Yet so common situations that we’ve experienced since elementary school. Talking to your boss, performing something live, taking an exam all leads to stress that is called pre-performance stress. That’s what stops us from being productive.
Is it possible to look at stress as an actual advantage for your life? Taking those negative thoughts of anxiety and insecurity into excitement and focused motivation? Sounds too good to be true, but I’m going to show it’s actually more attainable than you might think.
Now scientifically, when we are stressed, our brains release a chemical called noradrenaline. Noradrenaline is both a good and a bad chemical to have. It increases arousal and alertness, but also increases anxiety and feeling tired.
We actually need a healthy amount of that chemical or we’re not working at our best. Ian Roberston, a cognitive neuroscientist at Trinity College Dublin said:
There’s a sweet spot of stress where you are right in the middle of what you need. Think of it has a Goldilocks zone of noradrenaline that it like a brain tuner.
Noradrenaline essentially allows us to communicate with all our neural connections more smoothly.
So that means if we can control and deal with our stress it actually be a boost in brain power. By increasing creativity and happiness, so we feel less of anxiety and depression.
So question is how do I deal with stressful situations to make this happen?
It all begins by rethinking the situation.
Most of the symptoms I said previously, the heart racing, dry mouth, etc. are we get when we feel excitement. I said in previous episode about how self assurance talk can actually backfire. It’s the same way.
We feel anxiety before an important event or talking to someone of importance. This causes draining memory capacity, lower confidence, and overall harm in performance.
Knowing this actually makes it worse. Anticipation of anxiety is used from the phrase ‘Calm down’ as in Keep Calm and Carry On.
Alison Wood Brooks, an assistant professor at Harvard Business School actually found out through studies that people who is able to not think ‘calm down’ but rather viewed as a part of excitement.
Stress and excitement both have arousal and a low sense of control.
Stress should be a challenge, not a burden.
Personal development is key focus in this mindset. As said by Stanford psychologist Carol Dweck which essentially means those who believe they can improve actually do.
Feeling like you can’t change is what’s stopping negative thoughts and actions that prevent you from doing your best.
Granted a possibility in failure can be seen as a negative, but also a chance to learn. This is how you turn stress into excitement and where the middle ground in actually improving performance.
Comedians and other performers actually worry if they don’t feel some level of anxiety before performance. Tiger Woods has spoken outwardly that he know’s he’s going to have a bad play if he doesn’t feel it before he swings. This is how it ultimately becomes a performance enhancer.
Your mind is like a track – build it right
We’ve all know that negative thoughts of stress and anxiety go with us throughout our lives. It’ll never fully be gone.
Every single one of these thoughts are connections of neutral and chemical flows through our brain. The more the thought, the stronger the feeling.
This is like a ski track in snow as said by Neuroscientist Alex Korb.
Like swing, the more you go down the path, the easier it gets.
Just like a mindset, the more you experience fear, anxiety, and self-doubt, the easier it gets going down that path. Now this can be resolved by what psychologists call ‘cognitive reappraisal’.
This cognitive reappraisal is not ignoring negative thoughts, because let’s face, is too difficult to completely remove. It’s also not about turning these negatives into false positives such ‘People will love me’. It’s all about looking at the bigger picture and using only realistic thoughts.
Hooria Jazaieri, a licensed family therapist said The Wall Street Journal
“I tell clients to think like a scientist. You are using your observations and descriptions about yourself non-judgmentally, observing and describing facts.”
So instead of allowing a deep rabbit hole of negative thought. Take a moment to know what is happening and immediately stop.
My suggestion is to write these thoughts down and then identify what triggers them. Did your boss sent you an email saying he needs to speak with me and instantly thought something terrible was going to happen?
Write these things down and then toss them in a recycling bin. Be a scientist and challenge these thoughts like a hypothesis.
Did you do not perform? Will you get fired because of it?
Now when you think about these things, you’re no longer thinking rationally. Always look for the evidence. What have you done well? Did you get a raise recently?
Write those self doubting thoughts down. I’ve always said writing down increases memory and helps keep confidence in yourself. Keep on that ski course.
What happens if it doesn’t work? Then go as hard as you can.
Do you think your work is the worst? Then tell yourself that. Tell yourself that there’s never been a worse worker than you. There’s no reason why anyone should hire you.
Why? Because laughter said by Steve Orma, a clinical psychologist and author of Stop Worrying and Go To Sleep. Will always make you feel better. Which removes any negative thoughts.
So you want to gain muscle? As it turns out it’s not going to happen in one gym session. Your brain is just like that. It’s a continuation of understanding and being proactive in your anxiety that can be used productivity.
These aren’t scary as they really are, we just make them worse than they really are. It’s practice – just like all skills and it all begins with you and your thoughts.
When you’re trying to achieve the best of your job – feels like a job in itself. Setting your sights high and accomplishing things that you dreamed of. It’s one of the greatest feelings to complete a side project, get a promotion, or reach a goal.
For anyone that had to complete these huge goals, they know they had to deal with sacrifices to get there. When you’re at work, that becomes your highest priority which replaces anything in your personal life. That becomes thrown into your wayside. Trading hours for your love one’s time becomes the norm.
Work-life balance is something that we learn from trial and error. Crazy schedules are inevitable although temporary. If you don’t manage them then they manage your family on your behalf (not a good thing). It’s common to talk to bosses and coworkers that you’re dealing with a lot of stress, but when it comes to children and spouses, it becomes a lot more difficult.
Never having the time for phone calls with friends, spending time at home, or just having happy hours. It’s funny that we need these people the most when we’re pushing them away so much. How do you handle this Catch 22 to get that support while achieving your goals?
By taking action about these problems are the best way to resolve any conflict. Taking the necessary steps in having a positive balance while not pushing your support away. Here’s three different ways to help get your life on track.
- Ask what support you need
While you’re going off on about work, your family and friends don’t always exactly know that you’re working on. If you were to think what is it that takes so long all the time, they probably wouldn’t be able to say. They almost might not know that meeting got delayed or something didn’t arrive in the mail.
When you do come home and you’re probably visibly tired or irritated. Your family sees it and know that’s not the body language of a person that wants to be talked to. Now there’s mixed signals about how you’re coming off and how you want to be treated.
Rather than shutting down or ignoring this problem – let people know about your workload, how you feel, and how they can help you. Sometimes people don’t know they just need to listen without reception or judgement. There’s so much effort that letting people know what they do matters and are valued.
Clear communication is the key to resolve all personal conflicts.
- Have rules and follow them
Everyone needs to have certain boundaries and this is no exception.
Setting differences in conflicts and personal life are the keys of happiness and balance in one’s life.
It must be done firm, yet passionately.By telling your spouse a head of time of say, a product launch, this sets expectations. By explaining why your schedule is what it is.
Boundaries are a must if you work from home as well, By having times that should working and not will allows interruptions and downtime to be more healthier and productive
3.Handle stress the right way
After having a long day at work you come home and your spouse wants to out for dinner. You suggest Italian. Your spouse’s eyes roll. You get visibly upset. Nothing ever goes your way, it’s always someone else’s. But why is finding a restaurant upsetting you?
It’s the defence mechanism called displacement. It what comes out when we’re dealing with stress. When you’re dealing with a conflict that’s not serious, you have a natural negative reaction from being upset. To simply say, when the source is less threatening you are more likely to take out your frustration because you don’t need to care about the inherent consequence.
It’s clear sign when a person who has this displacement, they’re dealing with other battles that other’s aren’t aware about. If you’re dealing with a lot of then you’re instantly in a hostile territory everywhere.
So when dealing with defense mechanism, ask yourself these questions:
Is it this battle worth fighting for?
How will this benefit me and the other person?
If they reacted the same way to me, how will I feel?
What can I do relieve stress and anger?
- Mindfulness solves a lot
We make conscious decision all the time and that’s why we get tired throughout the day more so than others. Having priorities in your life and sacrificing friendship to make those happen.Your word is super important in both personal and professional relationships.
When you’re going about your day – do a self check. Why work so hard when the results don’t matter or gain enjoyment from?
It’s always important to find meaning and enjoyment in your career and it’s just a part in work life balance. Don’t think that it’s ok to ignore your health. So take a look at your life of where you’re going and wether this is all worth it. We all have a limited time so make the best of it. Always.
We’ve all had to be creative in our lives. Art class, problem solving, making flyers. Creativity is an elusive muse that may feel like you don’t have a lot of power over. It helps us find meaning but it’s hard to catch.
Once you’ve considered yourself a creative professional does the tension of of what that really means start happening to you. Whatever what creative you want to be: a designer, artist, musician, performer, etc. What do you do to keep up the creativity, livelihood, energy level, and passion to make it all come together every day.
From my personal experience of creativity, all problems stem form looking in the wrong places. It happens though and it’s no one’s fault. That’s why how you can harness more creativity in your life without it draining you down.
Being too original
The biggest problem that usually hinders creativity is falling into the hole of thinking everything has been down and nothing you’ll make will be special.
Being a trend setter or saying ‘I was first’ has a good feeling to it but only if it falls into place. It’s not something you can really plan.
There’s over 7 billion people in this world and billions of other living before that. Chances are someone made or thought of something before you.
It’s not the end of world of not being original – you’re just being real with yourself.
Taking what exists and making interesting or better is really all it takes to be considered ‘new’. Creativity is simply taken what you know and adding other things also know or don’t know.
Picasso also mentions that the idea of creativity was all combinational so nothing really original. Don’t be a fraud to take inspiration and not really reinvent the wheel.
You work in a vacuum
Being creative usually works is a solo environment so you have no one distracting you. Bob Dylan was very notable for retreating to a cabin in Woodstock, New York to create his songs.
But creativity doesn’t just come from within. It actually comes from without. Collaboration is actually more beneficial in creating work that is truly creative.
THe poet, Emily Dickinson was well known for being super isolated in her room and never going outside. While she never left and never had people coming in, she communicated a lot through letters. These letters were her inspirations to her poems.
Her poems were eccentric in how personal and expressive they were in her writing. This lead to a lot of her work being recognized.
Most businesses work in teams. While we know Steve Jobs for being a brilliant creative, it was really Steve Wozniak was the one who was physically creating things. They both needed each other to form Apple though.
Most innovations were collaborative. As they didn’t work in a vacuum. Everything they made, they got other people’s feedback.
You let distractions get you
Creativity needs both parts of your brain to function. Despite a lot of power comes from the left, it does pull through the right as well. Our inspiration comes from absorbing past experiences through the five senses that allow us to envision something before it’s even there.
Distractions are a part of life and do they do lock down the creativity. Meditations has always been a key problem solver in meditation. Stress levels, problems, helps improve cognitive. This all leads into get that creative zone where the right ideas just flow in.
Great ideas don’t just happen because you said so. Creativity is take time into knowing what your problem is and what is attached to your mind.
Instead of just waiting for that idea – be disciplined. Do research in your creative industry every day. The more experiences that you have, more you can pull from.
Don’t be too focused
Ironically it’s also possible to be too focused.
Great ideas can happen at any given moment. Waking up at 4 am, in the shower, stuck in traffic, etc.
It’s all because our brain is packed in preparation while we are processing other things – our minds wander.
We need time for our mind to form new connections. There’s some level of distractions that we do need in order to that focus moment in embracing new ideas.
Irrelevant foundation can actually be beneficial in our sensory mind. Especially when we’re accustomed to reading so much information every day. It’s all bout sorting out what’s good and what’s not needed.
The creative process allows a level of slowness in not being stressed and loose in your mind. Being too focused to long can cause burnout and lose the bigger picture of the problem you’re trying to solve.
Bias love of your ideas
It’s great to fall in love with your ideas and know it can be done. It’s the natural way of knowing we’re on to something great.
Be aware though – just because it’s your idea, doesn’t mean its a good one. Learn to know that ideas are just ideas and not to get too attached to them.
Not learning how to let go of them is not only a humble experience, but allows you to know the difference from a good idea and a bad one.
Most musicians like to write over 20 verse lines in their song, not because they want that in their song, but it allows them to be harsh on what works and what doesn’t. Once they go down to 4 verses, do they know they are on to something good.
Break down good ideas every time.
Good ideas are difficult to remove – now you know you’re on to something if it does hurt.
Stop being so perfect
I had a neighbor who did crossword puzzles. But really she obsessed every day to complete each and everyone she found. Despite how much she tried, she actually only gone through 5 puzzles.
Why? She was a perfectionist in finding out the answer is complete as possible.
Her expectations were to just too high in her effort you be right. That’s a problem you see with a lot of other creatives do. So many artists are perfections in their studios.
Instead of knowing that you can do better, just get things done and learn from mistakes.
Perfectionism stops us from finishing which is what matters the most. The process is super great, but it’s sad to know that final income is what people and love and ultimately buy.
Have a goal
Creativity is awesome in that you can have fun and do what needs to be done expressive in how you want. But creative problem solving needs a problem and a goal.
Going out of your way and being creative in your tools as well as who you know can definitely help what problems you’re having.
Think big but think practical when time is of the essence. Practice every day because creativity is a skill just like everything else. The more you do it, the better you will become.
Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy planning and goal setting. If you’ve been listening to The don’t Quit podcast, it’s something that I’ve been stating several times.
So why I don’t recommend New Years resolution? Is because it limits your goal planning to a specific time. If you really want a New Years resolution, you wouldn’t wait, you would start now.
Want be healthier? read more books? travel more?
Needless to say – if you wanted them to happen you would be doing them.
There’s nothing wrong believing that you need that special time, but just don’t be a statistic in an effort that millions of other people are doing and failing.
You’re doing it because that what you should be doing, not what you want to do.
It’s always your choice not because of what everyone else is doing.
Humans are just resistant to change – especially drastic ones. It’s when we’re performing unusual tasks that affect how we go about our lives.
Brain power throughout our day is a finite amount. When too much change happens we get overwhelmed and ultimately don’t do it.
If you actually look at the people who accomplish what they want – they didn’t start on January 1st.
But of course if you’re already starting then more power to you.
Maybe you already tried every year and just couldn’t keep it. That’s ok, you’re not alone, I’ll be lying to say I’ve struggled with that as well.
The good news is nothing bad happened because nothing happened. You’ve probably remembered I was suppose to do ____ but oh well!
There’s just no accountability when you give up. Which means there was no real drive in order for you to succeed. Other than just wanting to be better.
So tell me what’s something you want to so better this year?
While going paperless seems to be the ongoing trend of being productive, it’s still beneficial for that to exist. I use both a journal and note taking software to be on top of things where ever I go.
With a phone in your pocket, a computer on your coffee table, you’re always within reach your calendar and to do list. However writing things down helps with more focus and plan out ideas better. When it comes to memorizing important dates or events, writing helps tremendously.
Paper and pen has a lot of great benefits so here’s how you can get the best go both worlds.
My Journal that I use to capture all the quick ideas, tasks, sketches. It’s like a scrapbook of all things going on in your life right now. It’s the sticky notes in a book so to speak.
A smaller notebook (yes, I would like to make a smaller journal soon) for traveling and off site meetings. I’m always talking with people in their homes and offices, never really in mine. When you show you’re writing down in a notebook rather than in your phone look more studious in effort to be more serious.
People do notice.
A digital task list & calendar: This is, you guessed it, where I have the big tasks and calendar events to be reminded. This where I add the info you’ve written down in your journal from.
Long term digital storage: There’s a lot of them, Apple notes, OneNote, Evernote, etc. to digitalize the amount of things that need to have in your life for a long time or something you want to get back to eventually.
It surprisingly works and never have to skip a beat in memorizing and knowing where everything is. You may have to change it to get where you want exactly, but it’s structured and organized.
I’m going to be talking about the things mediocre people do, think, and feel. This is having the self awareness to identify if you’re doing these things it’s best to revalue how you’re going to be in the new year.
Everything I’m going to say is based on satire and a self refletcion of how you may have felt.
The first is to stop believing in yourself. All those dreams and ideas that you feel you can accomplish forever will be dreams. Just always do what you’re told and copy what everyone else is doing. Always keep everything safe despite how much your life would be if you took a risk every now and then.
Now think of everything as a negative. There’s a trick or problem for every good natured action. There’s must be a hidden motive for someone to be nice always. No one is ever generous.
Always assume people aren’t reliable and they never in your best interest. Never let their love and kindness get to you. Push away everyone out of fear that they’ll never help or care about you. You can’t lose if you have nothing to lose.
Always keep your head down and do not speak unless spoken to. Don’t think of all the things that could happen. Believe you are terrible at everything you do.
Never believe that anything is beautiful. Fixate on all the things that prevent that from happening like your hair, body, smile and anything that you may think highly of yourself. While we all have something unique but you don’t think about that.
Have dreams and just give up on them. Always feel they will never come true. Anyone who has dreams isn’t in this reality. Believe those who have dreams are children that never grew up. Remind yourself of all the things you failed in the past and why they’ll keep happening.
Never forgive yourself at all costs. Sure you’ve made mistakes but you’ll never let them go. Feel every time those caused you to never get what you wanted.
Lose all motivation to try something again. Accept you’ll never be good at it who always embraces defeat.
Always compare yourself to others because the only way to feel adequate is if you’re better than someone. Too bad those who believe that will never find joy as there’s always someone better than you.
Judge people for everything they do. Never leave them out your sight. If they can’t live up to your idealistic expectations then they don’t deserve to be in your life.
Never feel like you need love. Love is weakness that gets you manipulated. Always have people who think less of yourself.
Let others define your values and dictate what you should for your life.
Always give into peer pressure. You know it’s how it’s look cool.
Remove your family from your life because they stand in the way of what you want. Focus on how much their opinions of not wanting you to do the things you want.
Play games with people. Everyone loves games. Never let them know your true attentions because there wouldn’t be a fun in it.
Take advantage of people before they do the same to you. They may be people but they aren’t on your side.
Believe that pain is everlasting. That one time you lost something will only happened again. Reject all other thoughts.
Look at the small things and let them pick you a part.
Always blame others for everything that happens to you. You must believe that the only way something bad can happen is from another person’s actions.
Stop looking at sunsets and puppies. Stop believing that tomorrow will be better.

Alright so if you’ve any of these thoughts I’m going to say that none of them are true or always true.
Does any of this sound familiar? I hope not. Always improve your thoughts one day at a time. Life is too short to be mediocre. Be interesting, be positive, be productive.
If you’re like me, you’ve been reading up on successful people like Elon Musk and Steve Jobs. What they do every morning, what they eat every Saturday. All in an effort to find that correlation to that hidden key to success. I’m going to talk about the importance that you shouldn’t always be so caught up with what they do and instead you should use it as a guidance, not a crutch.
The Reason and Resolution Problem
Now in all my reading the activities that I see a lot of rich people do is:
Is have a detailed morning ritual.
Have a to-do list and always be looking at it
Always make an effort to meet a new person
Read books and/or articles
Now these habits are great and I follow some of them (I’ll never be a morning person, and that’s ok.) Seeing them as an absolute necessity for a ‘how to get rich guide’ is stretch. The thing is though, unless you’re rich, you might now have the most control of your time because how many of us have that luxury?
It’s totally worth reading about how they go about their day though – it’s super interning nonetheless. You get new ideas and motivational pushes that these people that much different from you. But never believe that’s all it takes all you need to achieve your wealth.
There really is no correlation between steady habits and getting wealth. If anything habits may lead to more opportunities that create wealth but there is no guarantee. Even the poorest people already do these things without relizing, but they’re still poor and that’s not because these ‘successful’ habits.
Personal Finance will Always be Personal
That’s what we’re all chasing – to be like that business mogul that scored a million dollar deal. So many people really do feel that’s the only way. Habits do effect our lives like money, but not everyone needs the same habits. That’s why I always emphasize find out what works for you then take the necessary action.
When people say there’s one magic trick to have all the success you need it’s not so much a lie as it takes away the actual thing that make people successful – and that’s being resourceful.
There’s so many profiles of all these successful people throughout history. There’s the feeling that if I do everything like Bill Gates then I will have the same success as Bill Gates – which is totally unrealistic and that’s because he had the resources that many people didn’t have.
We don’t have thousands upon thousands of employees that will do everything we tell them to. We don’t have the serious billions of capital that he had. We can’t just say what works for Bill Gates? We have to ask what works for us.
Of course, develop great habits whenever you can. If you can get up earlier in the morning and accomplish your to-do list then by all means do so. This will probably make you more happier as well as being productive. Just don’t follow any habit just because so-and-so did it. If it truly worked, we would all be rich. Focusing on your resources is what will actually make you successful.
Most habits are random and oversimplified advice
The biggest problem with learning other people’s habits is that they can be too arbitrary.
We see it in Warren Buffett’s investing habits that everyone loves to learn about. Since he’s well acclimated as the most successful investor – there’s no wonder people love him. He says he reads 500 pages a week, which is great but that doesn’t mean anything for investors though.
Reading is a great activity but just because successful people do it doesn’t mean you’ll also be successful. Buffett says most of wealth comes from passive investing which is what a lot of investors try to accomplish. The importance of this is that just because it’s oversimplified and not actually relevant to what the task is about. If you’re going to be looking at habits, you’re better off doing habits that just regular people have done. Only in a progress that matters to you and where you are with your life. That’s why niche blogs say in finance are so successful is that they bring real advice to real ordinary people like you and me.
When you think about the habit of successful people – actually think about the context of that person’s background, upbringing, and available resources to them.
These habits of successful people are interesting such as Steve Jobs taking a shower once a week – but that’s only out of interesting tales.
These aren’t useful for your success, but acknowledge that it all comes from work, per stance, and action. It’s a lot more than just watching tv and writing in a dream journal.
If there’s one important resource in our life it’s time: Makes sense, there’s only a finite amount so we have to make best of it.
Say you got a full time job that easily goes over 40 hrs/wk, a profitable side business, and hobbies that could also be profitable. Not to mention if you got a spouse and kids, it’s easy to say I’m too busy.
You have to be on the hunt for more effective ways to maximize that important time to get the results you need. One of the most inspiring authors I’ve come across is Frank Viola. Everything he does is quality material constantly.
In just 8 years Viola has written 25 full featured book. (half are traditionally published while the other half self published) Not including over 900 blog posts and 125 podcast episodes that gain traction from millions. He really makes me feel small.
Over the course of these 8 years, he hasn’t worked with other freelancers, ghostwriters, and editorial staffers in his success. I have a lot of respect for this guy if you can’t tell.
The average productivity rate in America is declining every few percentage points every year since the early 2000’s. In this world, this guy knows something about productivity.
I’ve studied what Viola does and how you can apply them in to your life so that you too can be like him as he’s just an ordinary guy that has the right mindset and may be the better choices he made in his life.
- Conduct an activity audit.
We all should be doing a financial audit of knowing where every one of your dollars are going every year, but are you doing the same about where you’re spending your time on? Viola does this religiously. “It’s important for people to track what they’re doing every 15 to 30 minutes for an entire week. Just by writing it all down. It’s seems tedious but it allows you to visualize where your day is actually going and how you can improve it.” said Viola.
In order to know what are the bad, you first need to know where you stand in your every day life.
“It’s freeing to remove all the different activities and pursuits in my life that seemed helpful, but actually weren’t aligned with my goal. This exercise has truly lead me to be more productive,” he said.
- Practice “tight but loose” prioritization.
This is something that was most innovating and biggest reason how this all came about. Even with all the other productive models. While Viola sets up his tasks the night before, that’s the only common step and then takes a different direction.
He creates a “Twist life balance” that is essentially a combination of 5-10 personal and business tasks together. This creates a unity of energy.
While not every task as the same level of importance – he still accomplishes the urgent ones first to push the procrastination away. This is a ‘tight but loose’ solution as he goes through his list. This is to prevent a time tasking but motivation instead.
And while the tasks vary in importance—he tackles urgent issues first to help stem human tendencies to procrastinate—Viola takes a ‘tight but loose’ approach when accomplishing all other listed activities, which means he doesn’t constrain tasks by time but rather by his motivation.
“I’ll create those large projects into manageable activity blocks that aren’t factored on time at all. I’ll continue doing it until I don’t feel like it anymore, then I’ll move to something else on my list. This is to apply the best ability to every task rather than just getting them done. I believe that over rigid schedules kills creativity and productivity”, he said.
- See your projects as art — literally.
In the event of losing productivity, A person can waste a lot of time searching for the important information it takes.
One of the key areas of lost productivity occurs when individuals waste time searching for important information or files.
Really, a lot of people search for information like files every day which be up to an hour or so. That’s potentially 4 hours a week spent just on poor file management. This is work that doesn’t contribute to anything.
To have all the files Viola needs, he hangs them on a wall – just like an office artwork that showcases his working projects.
“I hang the designed file organizers which allows me to visually lock on the important documents I have at a glance. This allows me to instantly find any file with in a moment. This allows the productivity to flow better without missing a beat”, he said.
Viola also relies on technology to make the most of it. He’s big user of Dragon Dictation that allows you to talk and it automatcally transcribes into words. That’s at a rate that’s around 2-3 times faster than he can type. This allows him to go into more detail than he previously could do to the extra speed boost.
“Every one of my tactics might not seem much when alone, but when taken together they create a productive system that’s hard to fail.” he said.
There you have it, Viola is an interesting guy that we can all learn from.
What do you want to be when you grow up? As children, we were always asked this question, and we used to think that getting what we want is as simple as wanting it. As adults, we realize that it isn’t as simple as that. We have to make decisions, stand by them, and work hard to get what we want. There are times when we don’t always end up where we planned, but then we stop resisting and just accept what life has dealt for us.
So, you work hard and spend years honing the skills that you need to become better at the job that life has thrown your way. You climb the ladders you need to climb, overcome the obstacles that are in your way, and get up after you fall.
Now, you’ve reached your goals. You are at the peak of your career, but somehow, you feel like there’s nowhere else to go. You are financially secure with a comfortable lifestyle, but you’re bored. You are dissatisfied, restless, and unhappy. You want more. You crave something different.
“Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.”
— Albert Einstein
It’s time to take a step back and reassess what it is you really want out of life. What do you want to do now that you have grown up? Maybe it’s right there in front of you, but you have been too busy to notice. Maybe you know what you actually want to do, but you are scared to take that leap. Be the quarterback of your own life. Don’t get stuck in one place — go wide!
Leaving the life you have always known and straying from a familiar path is indeed scary. Bear in mind how hard you have worked to get to where you are. This time, you are no longer an innocent child but a wise adult armed with knowledge, experience, and skills you have carefully harnessed through the years. You have what it takes to succeed at any endeavor you wish to undertake. Never doubt yourself, but always stay open minded to learning something new.
So, you finally take the leap to go for what you have always dreamed of. You have freed yourself from the shackles of your nine-to-five job. Now, it’s time to set new goals for your new mission. Set your priorities with you at the top. This is what you have always wanted, and it’s time to actually go for it! Go ahead, invest in yourself.
Whatever it is that you have decided to finally work towards, always keep in mind that combining your interests with a profession is never easy. This new passion you have discovered and chosen to work for will remain an idea unless you persevere. As you may already know, the world isn’t just made of rainbows. It can be nasty and mean. But don’t give up.
“Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan Press On! has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.”
— Calvin Coolidge
Keep trying to do what you think are the necessary steps to achieve your new goals. The processes and techniques you may have used in your past job may not work the same way it did for this new set of goals. Give yourself room for error, and learn from the mistakes you make along the way.
You are once again back to learning the basics of your new field. Don’t be shy to ask questions from experts in the niche you’ve chosen. Join groups and communities. Make new friends and enjoy the process. People from online groups and communities can be surprisingly supportive. Yes, there is competition — this is something that will always be present in any field of work or business. But consider it to be healthy competition and learn from it.
There are a lot of other people who succeeded at transitioning from a nine-to-five to a freelance work or business. Get inspiration and motivation from these people. If there is one thing in common among all successful individuals, it’s perseverance.
“Making your mark on the world is hard. If it were easy, everybody would do it. But it’s not. It takes patience, it takes commitment, and it comes with plenty of failure along the way. The real test is not whether you avoid this failure, because you won’t. It’s whether you let it harden or shame you into inaction, or whether you learn from it; whether you choose to persevere.”
— Barack Obama
Life is a journey, and the only thing constant in this journey is change and hardships. With it comes new opportunities and potential for growth. You have already enabled yourself to pursue happiness, and because you are finally doing what you love to do, the rest will follow. Embrace this freedom you so deserve.
Trying to be more productive in this world is more important than ever. Businesses are realizing that meetings aren’t productive and rather spend the time on more effective ways. Employees are more aware of productivity too. Considering everything that happens in our lives, it only makes sense to maximize our limited time and energy. Like with all my past episodes, there may be a simple solution. By working about 90 minute intervals could maximize your productivity. Here’s how that works: Strategic renewal
If you ever been to a crowded city, people are always rushing from place to place – like the next ask to another. It’s the only option to get anything done. Days are just so packed that slowing down doesn’t feel possible. But taking that time to relax actually does a lot of good in the long run. The New York Times had an article about “strategic renewal”. Which is everything between naps and workout sessions to vacations. They all have shown productivity increased after time doing these. So taking a break may seem counterproductive – it isn’t.
The Basic-Rest-Activity-Cycle (BRAC) impacts our waking and sleeping lives.
Ever since the 50’s we’ve learned that good sleep happens in 90 minute intervals. You may have noticed it yourself with a sleep tracker. From light sleep to deep sleep to REM (dreams) state that we go through every 90 mins or so. About a decade after we learned about this natural sleep cycle, researchers began to realize that we follow a similar pattern in our waking lives as well.
To maximize productivity, work in 90-minute intervals.
Florida State University Professor K. Anders Ericsson has said in a response to a better understanding of productivity by studying the people who perform the best in their chosen field. This was over the course of chess players, athletes, and business owners. Ericcson discovered work that lasted 90 minutes or less – with breaks in between sessions had the most results. Also important to note that these people mostly worked 4 1/2 hours in a day.
“In effort to maxmimize their practice” Ericsson said,”These kinds of people needed to avoid exhaustion and purposely limited themselves to recover from performing daily or weekly at their best.
This is why limiting fatigue will allow us to recover quickly and go back to working just as hard as before. This is through maximizing work effort and productive efforts. Now when you’re tackling your next big project – get them done in 90 minute intervals to not get burned out so quickly. So that we’ll eventually get to the point where we can work only for 4 1/2 hours and still achieve our dreams.
There’s quite a difference between being productive and being busy. The thing about being busy is that it can feel productive because it’s familiar and makes us feel good. In order to get results, productivity may need to for go any positive feeling.
By doing things we have to do – and that means less busy work. does it make us feel like we’re making real progress.
A lot of people face this every day. Say you want to read a book about your profession that will help you get better. The problem is though, you’re too busy to read it. In order to have the time to read that book, you’re going to have to wreck your schedule.
Taking up an afternoon spending time reading instead of keeping busy feels unproductive so you don’t do it. While instead, you attend your schedule and continue being productive. The trade off is you’re giving up on something that might help you become better at your job.
Here’s a take away that a business owner should use for their client:
You might have to take real progress with you life by taking on the challenges that may not be helpful immediantly. You have to let the present takes it’s course. They won’t disappear and will always be there. That’s what being in the present is about. It’s securing and safe to always think about the future, but really, but you’re not solving your current problems.
In order to embrace that future self you may put what you have at the moment on hold. As tough as that sounds to do something you don’t want to do right now may ultimately help in the bigger picture.
If you got a gym, I’m sure you’ll see someone is really strong because he or she can move a lot of weight. You want to tell yourself that you can be just as strong, but really that kind of thinking can hold yourself back. When you only see such a narrow focus, you’ll be limiting on how strong you’ll be.
A weight lifting champion Dean Lukin, loves to use the metaphor, if you’re the strongest person in the gym, then you’re a small fish in a large pond. If you want to know how strong you really are, you need to go to a larger pond. Or even look at the strongest lifters in the world.
Sure, this is harsh and negative to think you’re not a strong or good as you think you will be, but it’s the humbleness and deep motivation of knowing where you are at is the important aspect.
I believe that is true that weight listing isn’t so much about getting stronger, it’s more having the mindset that I will get stronger. Once you’ve started, you’ll eventually see the results. The thing is though, in order to continue seeing more results, you need to put more effort. To do that, you need to push your mindset and remove the thought that you are already strong.
By having low expectations, you’re limiting yourself. To mention that original metaphor. You have to be in the presence of the greatest if you want to become great. Sure, you might not be the largest fish the pond, but you can see just how large you can become.
In the fitness realm, it’s easy to make a routine and just do that mindlessly. But you have a goal and actively achieving it, you’ll get there and become better. As the old saying goes, it’s better to know what you don’t know than not knowing what you don’t know.
Are you a fish in a big pond?
The first thing always recommend to solve a problem is to first identify it. Which always seems to be the hardest part and tend to spend more time on it than we would like. It can take awhile to know that where you are with life that you might be stuck and need to do something about it.
Being stuck isn’t always apparent and can come to conclusion by a variety of ways. Due to how the average human works, to avoid doing things that difficult to only do things that are fun. Procrastination can lead to a taking on a bunch of easier tasks than taking on a big one so we feel more accomplished. Then the largest tasks will always remain undone.
Once you’ve identified your problem, you are already well on your way to from ‘I’m stuck’ to ‘I’m unstuck’. By only starting something you can do about it.
The next time you find yourself stuck, here’s a few ways you can overcome it:
- Apply Tried-and-True Problem Solving Frameworks
At the core there’s no magic procedure for problem solving. If that was possible, all of life’s problems would be generated into a formula that would work every time. Good new though, is there’s always a way to look at solution that can bring a lot of different outcomes.
One way is to always look at the perspective as an abstract. We like to be practical in addressing the negatives in our lives. Instead of asking ‘what can I do to be smarter.’ We ask ‘what can I do to not look dumb.’ By looking at this way can climate the problems that warping our perspective.
- Give It a Rest: The Incubation Period
When you know you’ve gone into your procrastination habit of doing what you like instead of doing what you should. Then what? You’re halfway there! so you feel the need to focus on the problem. Hold on though, it may seems like it at first, but once you notice the pattern, being patient pays off.
Let you consciousness do most of the work here.
This is referred to the incubation period by scientists. Since our brains work on problems after it decides to abandon them to do something else. Einstein called it the combative play and was able to experience the easier parts of learning the violin
The activities that are done in wen you’re alone to allow your mind to wander such as long walks, meditation or a good sleep letyour subconscious work it self out. This is why we get those glorious shower thoughts.
Every moment, it’s easy to make bad adhesions. So the more time you put in, the less of those bad decisions will be focused on. There’s a reason why all the most successful people who are also problem solvers constant reflect where they are in life. This realization almost always comes from being alone.
- Seek Outside Perspective
It’s important to always get unbiased feedback whether from a spouse, a therapist, a mentor, or an honest friend. This will always bring perspective in solving your problem. Talk about what the problem is, what you’ve done, and where you’re stuck. Because the person you’re talking to lives outside of the problem, they can look inward without biases. So they can ask questions you haven’t asked yourself. Sometimes the right thing to do may not always be obvious.
May be you need to break down your problem into smaller problems that can easier be solved via different people. This can help brainstorm over multiple people sessions and great way to network.
No One Is Immune
That’s the unfortunate thing, everyone will eventually get stuck in time or another. All the times we caught ourselves looking at a blank screen or piece of paper. The amount projects we should be doing but we just don’t know where to start.
It shows that we can recognize what being stuck is about. Eventually you can learn where your problem is and find your inner solution or ask for help. Get that sleep, and you may have found what you were looking for. It’s about starting.
Why getting fired was the best thing that happened to me.
– “You’re a nice guy, and a good leader, but we’re letting you go”.
– “I don’t think you’re a good fit because you’re too much of a Hilton guy, so we’re going in another direction”.
– “The owner doesn’t think you’ve done a good job so we are firing you”.
Each of those sentences changed my life, in good ways and bad. The first sentence was after I received my first managerial position in hotels, I loved the job, loved everyone I worked with, but my style and my boss’s style didn’t mesh, and I knew sooner or later I was going to get the pink slip.
The second was a few months after that, in another hotel management position that honestly blindsided me, because nothing I did to that point showed poor job performance, but I accepted it and moved on. The third was just a few months ago, after getting the highest position I had ever received (general manager of a motel), my salary became too much for an owner losing money in his investments by the day.
Why do I bring these moments up? They are all key reasons on why I continue to strive to become better as an employee, father, and husband.
I’ve been married for 2 years to my lovely wife Jessica. We met 7 years ago and have 6 beautiful kids. When I got fired in July the first thing I thought was “wWhat are we going to do?!” Relocating to Texas in January was a HUGE risk, and now I was unemployed with a pregnant wife and 7 mouths to feed. The next day I went out and found another job. Why? Because I couldn’t fail my family. Because I have to prove those owners and managers wrong, and because I wanted to stay relevant in an industry that can pass you by quickly.
I don’t believe those other managers care at all what I’m up to, and I wouldn’t expect them to, but the chip on my shoulder will stay with me until I reach the goals I set out to achieve. By accepting an entry level job at a local hotel I had somewhat of an epiphany, that your life should not revolve around the work you do.
Working 50-55 hours a week, making owners hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, while I get yelled at over policies and procedures out of my control was not what I wanted out of life. I wanted to spend time with my family, watch my kids grow up, enjoy their youth, and become a better parent.
I also realized quickly I loved to talk about the hotel industry, sports, and my kids. So I took a huge risk and decided that outside of working my 6-2 shifts, I would be a freelance writer on the side. My wife, always supportive, was skeptical at first, because I get these “get rich quick” schemes in my head then give up fairly quickly.
I reassured her this wasn’t the case, and even landed a full time writing gig for a sports website. It’s not going to solve all of our problems, but it will put a dent in a few bills. This will hopefully lead to more work and a growing portfolio in the sports industry.
Allowing my wife to stay at home with the kids and focus on school is the key motivation I have right now.
I want her to not have to worry about a past due bill, or if we can afford to buy one of the kids a new pair of shoes (which they seem to go through every few months). I make sure that I’m reading or writing something every day about the hospitality industry, marketing, and business content. When my kids ask me to buy something and I say we can’t afford it, that’s another big motivator. Every parent wants their kids to have a better life than they did, and I’ve made a promise to myself not to give up on this dream.
You can find motivation in the biggest moments in your life, or even the smaller ones. Just find something that makes you want to get up at 6am, make your bed, walk into your office, and get to work. I’m traveling to New York in a few weeks in hopes of finding a job so we can relocate back to New York and plan and stopping at all 30 major hotels in the Syracuse area.
Why? I’m motivated to find a job. I don’t ever plan on living somewhere and not have stable income coming in, so getting on the Greyhound jobless will not be an option. If my wife, kids, and former bosses didn’t motivate me already, not being deemed a failure to myself would keep the competitive juices flowing.
How do you stay motivated? I’d love to hear your comments below!
Most define success by our bank account, or family, or accomplishing goals. This is standard in what we want to do with our life. Its what a lot of people would consider the point of life.
One thing that is guaranteed is the amount of work we do in order to achieve this success. Success doesn’tt fall from the sky. Heres how looking at how to reach that success without burning yourself out.
One of the best advices from the CEO of Zillow, Spencer Rascoff said:
I never go into the office on weekends, but I do check e-mail at night. My weekends are an important time to unplug from the day-to-day and get a chance to think more deeply about my company and my industry. Weekends are a great chance to reflect and be more introspective about bigger issues.
There has been a new study from Stanford that shows hes not wrong.
The productivity per hour declines significantly once your work week goes over 50 hours, and after 55 hours, you might as well not be working at all. You heard that right. Those people who are working 70+ hours a week are working the same amount as those who work 55 hours.
To be successful you need to know how to make the best of your weekend by relaxing and resting your mind. As apparent by the most effective workers in the world.
It can be difficult to stop working so hard on yourself and thats what were going to look at ways to gain back your time and still produce the level of work you need.
- Disconnect By disconnecting, youre eliminating the things that distract you from the things you want to do. Its arguably the most important self restraint we need to do.
By not being available for your work via email and phone call, will make you feel like you actually left work. If going cold turkey isn’tt realistic, set up specific times during those days and set a hard time limit when to stop.
- They Minimize Chores Chores are a necessary evil in our lives. Theyre the busy work that makes us feel like were accomplishing something that ultimately is never going to end.
This makes us not relax and therefore get more tired. Likewise its important to plan these out throughout the week, so its not a constant giant of a problem. If you don’t finish, then you can move them to the weekend and not feel as drained.
- They Reflect Having a moment to reflect the past, whether it was today, last week, or even a year helps us notice patterns. These patterns are what we make up most of our day.
With this information, you can now understand what takes up most of your time and why. Now its all about what you can do to fix it.
4.They Exercise The average person is just never finds the time to exercise in their job. Thankfully, theres 48 hours on a weekend. Theres a neurotransmitter by the name of GABA that releases into our body after moving our bodies for at least 10 minutes. This helps reduce stress and brainstorm.
This is why walks on the beach are favored: Because they make us feel better from all the things that dont. As well as spark creativity to that next idea that might change your life.
- They Pursue a Passion Theres a surprising sensation when were actively doing something were passionate about during the weekends. This allows us to escape the problems we deal with and open our minds to new adventures. Whether its playing music, writing a book, or starting a business, these help us grow as a person.
This also stimulates of what skills we have and dont. In a way, this really is why we have hobbies in the first place. To become more enlightened from what is in this world.
- They Spend Quality Time with Family A common mistake is to neglect your time with your family. It can be tough to have time for them. Be there for your kids, play with your dog. Call your mother, these people will always support you. Dont take this for granted.
Use these for a special outing or doing hobbies with you. Time is never wasted when youre having a good time.
- They Schedule Micro-Adventures Going to concerts, theaters, or hotels that opened up in a new location. Theres an adventure around every corner. Whether its something you’ve done before, or havent yet.
Studies show that anticipation is what makes an activity more fun. By planning what youre doing for Sunday, will give the optimism of your mood as you go through the stress and mundane work during the week.
- They Wake Up at the Same Time Its tempting to sleep in during the weekends when you havent had much sleep during the week days. Actually, though, inconsistent sleeping hurts more in the long run.
Our bodies go through a sleep cycle through several phases. The deepest phase is where we feel more refreshed, which helps us naturally awake before an alarm timer. When you sleep past your regular time, you won’t feel as nearly as rested. This can turn into a dangerous cycle as this can lead to the dreaded Monday mornings.
- They Designate Mornings as Me Time With weekends, it can be difficult to have any time for yourself, especially if you have a family. Finding these activities that youre passionate about right out of bed helps your motivation and outlook in life far more effectively.
Our minds normally reach peak after 24 hours after we awoke. Dont waste this on trivial things that dont matter.
- They Prepare for the Upcoming Week The weekend is a perfect downtime for everything else that is happening in the world. As little as 1030 minutes, you can schedule what your next week will be and ultimately manage it to your full advantage. Now you only have to worry about execution.
How do you get more time during your day?
People like Einstein has said a lot of great things like the theory of relativity. But one of the lesser known is about creating. He said, by building and sharing it with the world requires a lot of bravery. Ultimately, it’s like breaking a part of yourself freely.
You’ve probably encountered the problem of being a prisoner of your own ideas. They stop us from learning new skills and stunt our personal growth.
It’s ok, it happens, and you’ve probably had tried to create something new for the first and time it probably sucked. Or when you feel everything is too much for a new idea and it just seems easier to give up?
Let’s look into how we can break out of these mental prisons. By getting comfortable with failing, which is known as productive failures. This will actually be healthy and something we should do.
Why we always think our work sucks at first
There’s a lot going from being inferior or never feeling you will get anything right. There is a constant feeling of a gap of where you are and where you want to be.
It’s difficult to feel like you can improve, as long as you don’t quit. All successful creative people have gone through this. Make it interesting, make it fun, make it worth seeing.
What are closing that gap is the amount of work by not giving up. It’s all about lasting to you get there.
The most important thing is being self aware about how bad you are.
Give yourself permission to be terrible
How do you get over being terrible? By not sticking with things that are easy.
Sure, you’ll be good at them, but you would miss out on the thrill of overcoming great obstacles and thus improving yourself as a person.
One thing that we can do is give ourselves the permission to be terrible. Given the knowledge of success, this really should be our first step in becoming better.
Why should this be our first step?
Because:
- Just because you’re not good at something, doesn’t mean you can’t have fun.
- Doing things you are good at aren’t always the most enjoyable.
- Being bad at something only lasts a fraction in our lifetime.
Even though sucking can last awhile, keep going and you will eventually get better as practice makes perfect.
Productive failure leads to faster learning
The actual good news about taking on more than you can handle is when you learn something new, it can be surprisingly good for you — and can help you learn faster.
The professor of Psychological studies in Hong Kong Institute of Education, Manu Kapur has said talked about productive failures.
To learn, students were shown concepts that have never seen before and were tasked to work on them without prior teaching on how to.
This research as shown the students who were not shown how to do something were able to outperform the other group that were shown.
Kapur’s theory on what happened here is that the students who discovered on their own were able to identify what they did know compared to what they didn’t know and were able to push the limits to gain that understanding that wasn’t there before.
This is deeper learning which what we gain when we try to solve things ‘the hard way’.
Why learning the hard way, isn’t nearly as fun as being shown how doing something, it can actually be more productive in the long run.
Developing a growth mindset
Growth mindset is the ability to pathological think beyond what you’re capable of and act upon it.
Carol Dweck, a researcher at Stanford University and author of Mindset: The New Psychology of Success, explain the difference between the two mindsets using students as an example:
“In a fixed mindset, students believe their basic abilities, their intelligence, their talents, are just fixed traits. They have a certain amount and that’s that, and then their goal becomes to look smart all the time and never look dumb.
In a growth mindset, students understand that their talents and abilities can be developed through effort, good teaching and persistence. They don’t necessarily think everyone’s the same or anyone can be Einstein, but they believe everyone can get smarter if they work at it.”
Due to to Dwek’s studies, we now know that much of your success comes from your mind in believing, that you can do it as oppose to you can only do what you’re fixed on.
Those with a growth mindset can deal with the being terrible at something, but because they mind is set on the growth, they can see that they will eventually improve and thus achieve it.
Let’s be honest – our bodies weren’t built to peer at screens all day and run on caffeine. Entrepreneurs are humans, not machines (however much we’d like to be), and most of us could do with taking better care of ourselves.
Evening meals are one thing, but how often do we really take the time to make sure we’re fuelling our bodies during the day? How many empty biscuit packets are there in the bin next to your desk?
Eating well doesn’t have to mean eating fancy; good fuel can take moments to prepare. Let’s start simple, shall we?
Breakfast
I don’t think there’s a single meal more important to an entrepreneur than breakfast. Since noticing that there was a direct correlation between the size of my breakfast and the number of words I managed to write before lunchtime, I haven’t held back.
Fast: Stacked Cereal
Cereal: Wheat biscuits,wholegrain cereals, muesli, low-sugar granola, bran flakes.
A big dollop of Icelandic or Greek yogurt, I prefer 0% fat. Add a swirl of honey or agave nectar.
Fresh fruit: Strawberries are my vice, but blueberries, banana, raspberries, currants, or slices of soft pear and peach are just as great for a boost of natural sweetness to start the day.
Milk: I use soy or nut milk. If you’re going for dairy, choose something below full-fat to make sure your body gets enough fats and protein to fuel it, but not enough to feel bloated and fall asleep.
With Time to Think: Banana French Toast
Mash a ripe banana in a bowl. Add a few teaspoons of nut or dairy milk, a spoon of peanut butter, and a good pinch of allspice. Mix it till you have a loose, egg-like mixture.
Cut your bread into 2cm-thick chunks a great choice, and give them a two-minute soak in the mixture.
Fry the bread off in a heated pan. I use coconut oil to get a really nice crispy texture. Serve with maple syrup and more peanut butter.
Cheat: Fruit and Breakfast Biscuits
We’ve all been there – the skype call is in ten minutes and you’ve barely had time to take a shower. Whatever you do in those precious minutes, please, for the love of your body, eat! Commercially available breakfast biscuits are a great compromise – you need the protein, complex sugars, and fats that these guys can provide at the start of the day. Slice up an apple and munch through that too, and don’t forget to drink! You’ve got this.
Lunch
I have two aims at lunchtime: eat a lot of something, and make it something light. The full meals available in company canteens are great and all, but they can slow you right down and even send you to sleep – and that’s so much more tempting at home.
Fast: Everything Rice Cakes
Rice Cakes: They can be pretty unappetizing. The trick is to load them up. I love salt and vinegar rice cakes: big, fluffy, crunchy ones, probably saltier than I should strictly be eating.
Toppings: Cottage cheese, honestly. Failing that, soft cheese of your choice – it’s protein o’clock right now. Big spoonfuls of chutney or pickle.
Salads: Be bold, be peppery – load your cakes with rocket, chard, lamb’s lettuce, watercress, and a healthy dose of balsamic vinegar
Eat these cakes of glory with your fingers, be messy: get tactile, use your hands. You need to taste strong flavours, it’s going to wake you right up again after that heavy morning.
With Time to Think: Egg and Avocado Sandwich
Working from home? Great stuff – lunch is your new golden hour. Golden like eggs. Fry them, poach them, boil them, scramble them. Add salt and pepper.
Get yourself some substantial bread, the type you find in your teeth for hours afterwards. Seeds and wholemeal are great news for your gut. Butter it up, and add that egg.
Slice as much avocado as you can eat in one sitting, and add it to your growing sandwich. More pepper? Yes please. Top it all off with some leaves and pickle, then squish the whole thing tilSnacks
Fast: Rollups
Soft tortillas: Wholemeal, sweet chili, sun-dried tomato, gluten free, whatever floats your boat.
Filler: For savory times, try cream cheese or refried beans. For sweeter moments, peanut butter. For apocalypse scenarios – both. Spread it on thick.
Topping: Pickle, ham, banana, bacon, cheese, chopped fruit… add the perfect partner to your in a smooth layer over the top, then roll that tortilla up tight, and slice it into thin chunks. Congratulations, you just created convenient of awesome.
Why Are You Thinking When You Could Be Snacking?: FroYoFruit
In one of those idyllic spare ten minutes, make enough space in your freezer for a muffin tray.
Put paper cases in that muffin tray, and load those cases up with a couple of centimeters of your favourite yogurt.
Now, dunk a huge strawberry or chunk of banana in the middle of each, and stick the whole thing in the freezer for one hour. What do you get after that one hour? You get fruity froyo you can eat in a couple of bites, that’ll wake you up with a zing.
You Can’t Cheat Snacks: Granola
Yes, seriously, get yourself a bowl of dry granola. If you really don’t have ten minutes to take five, you’ll be amazed how easy it is to develop the ability to mindlessly move granola from bowl to mouth with one hand and keep typing with the other (just like crisps, but healthier). Just don’t put the whole packet by your desk – trust me on this, you don’t want to know how much you can make disappear.
Do you know any great foods every busy entreprenuer should know about?
