Time Management For Personal Development

1. What this class is about? : It's over to create to-do list, check the list of the bugs. It's over. Time has changed. If you want to manage your time, if you feel like you're running behind and running on treadmill but not getting anywhere. That's because you don't have clarity on your outcome. In this program, you will learn how to manage your thought process in a way that is aligned with your outcome. To become one with what is it that you want to achieve to identify your specific goal? To break it down in a width is very simplistic and it's doable to achieve that goal, you will learn how to manage your thought process in order to navigate the thoughts and the habits and get rid of what does not serve you. It's not about what you do. It's not about who do you have to become an in this program, you will become self-aware on the way you use your time. You'll become more aware on your habits and your time use to create more productivity, accomplish more with higher level of performance. 2. How to use your time effectively : Part one time management, write this down and man who dares to waste 1 h of time has not discovered the value of life. Okay? So that goes to show you the importance of time and how was it directly a reflection of your life, okay? So what we need to learn is to manage the time in a way that is efficient. So how are we going to do this? So the first thing we need to learn is that measuring your time in a way that allows you to save more time and be more effective while using your time. So how are we going to use this? We can use a timer. The timer is a unit of measurements of time, okay? So the goal of timer is to avoid distractions and measure the actual time needed for a test. Okay? Because sometimes you might think you need this much time to certain tasks that you go through on daily basis. But the truth is, you need much less. So it's a habit based and we're going to rewrite those habits. We're going to create, we're going to delete old habits, create new ones by using a timer. So how does this work? Watch this. First thing is to avoid distraction and to track the actual time needed during the following tests, such as grocery shopping, car jam, superficial conversations, staying in bed, which is a bad one. That's why I underline this one because most people wake up as saying Bedford for another 30, 40 min, just scroll on their phones, getting ready to leave the house, dwelling on the past, taken a shower and getting ready to leave the house, et cetera. Well, we're going to do these are daily things that every human being goes through these other tests, the daily tasks that every human being goes through. What we need to learn is to measure The time that the actual time needed to complete these tasks. You're going to find out, I'm gonna show you later the one exercise how much you waste time on doing these tasks. But what you need is much less than that. Okay, so take a look at this timer. First. You need to, why do we waste time doing these tests? Okay. Then I just mentioned grocery shopping cart, Gemma, car jam, by the way, is when like let's say you came home and the music is playing, you park outside of your garage and you still listening to music and you're waiting for your favorite music to finish, and then you get out of the car. But the next song plays and the next song, I call it car dynamic. So your waist and other 20 min in the car before you go to your house? They can shower, etc. Jim, time. So why do we waste time? Reasons could vary. Okay. Could be overthinking, could be fear, could be Dowd, lack of knowledge, lack of skills, impulsive act, et cetera. Okay. If you have just one of those reasons that I just mentioned, it would be enough to waste so much time. This is like saying I only have one flat tire will be enough to slow you down your journey. Okay? So we're going to learn how to overcome all these reasons and save ourselves more time and be effective while using it. Okay, So the next thing I'm going to teach you is time-saving questions. This is very powerful because this will alter the way you think. It will redirect, the way you think. 3. Time saving questions: Time-saving questions. This is very powerful because this will alter the way you think. It will. It will redirect the way you think. Now write this quote down, okay? If this is my Albert Einstein obviously. And so that means it's really, really important. Write it down. If I had an hour to solve a problem and my life depended on the solution, I would spend the first 55 min determining the proper question to ask. For. Once I know the proper question, I could solve the problem in less than 5 min. It just goes to show you how powerful questions are. So let's take a look at time-saving questions that helps you save yourself more time and be effective and eliminate all the doubt overthinking this. Okay, So here we go. Question number one, was I looking for this before I came to shop? Okay. So this is good for those who, who have an impulsive act, okay, impulsive need to purchase something, where you go, let's say, I'm sure you've had the experience. You go to a grocery store somewhere to shop for specific item, but you walk out with another four or five items you didn't think of first-place. Okay. Why? Because you've got distracted and you got convinced, you got persuade, and you end up purchasing something you were not looking forward to, okay? So what you need to do to save yourself time is that when you go shopping and you have specific items in mind, if you happen to slow down because you saw a certain item, you need to ask yourself this question. Was I looking for this before I came to shop? Okay. If the answer is yes, fine. Go ahead, pick it up. If the answer is no, then move on. Okay. These are the things that slows you down while shopping. So write down this question and practice it later. You're going to go through exercises that helps you reinforce what you learn here will be part of your homework. We want to write this down. We want to practice this as a habit when you go shopping, every human being goes shopping somehow, we need to practice. Was I looking for this before I came to shop? Next question. Does this interaction or conversation align with my goals or tasks? So early, remember I mentioned things that caused us to waste time, thinking or doubt or fear. And one of them was superficial conversations. If this happens to you, you go like this, say to a coffee shop and you want to work on certain tasks and you have your computer with you, but you get distracted. Conversation might be like maybe fun conversation, however, is distracting you from your outcome is distracting you from Google. So if the interaction you have, whether it's a coffee shop or while shopping or somewhere. And you must be, you think of yourself. You must be on a mission, okay, That you've got to get going because you want to build that momentum of productivity. In the middle of the conversation, you ask yourself, does this conversation or interaction aligned with my mission, goal, or outcome or Tessa I'm working on. If the answer is no, you need to wrap it up quickly and move on, okay? If the answer is yes, if it's if it's feeding you, if it's helping you, but if it's only entertaining you, then it's not elevating your progress. Okay? So next question, powerful questions. I hope you are writing down each one of those questions. The next one. What do I need for the place I'm going to? So this is good for the people who take forever to get ready. If you go into the gym, let's say all you need is your gym shoes, you gym clothes, your gym bag, and ready to go. If you are going back-and-forth, progressed in English, which I'll share with you a concept about them. I'll explain why this happens. You get distraction. You only need a couple of things before you go to a certain place like this, say to a gym. But you're going back-and-forth in the house. You blame in your coffee, blame in Europe, protein bar or cookies or whatever that is, then you are wasting time. So what do I need for the place? I'm going to okay. You prepare yourself if pick up the items you need and you go. Otherwise you're gonna be randomly looking for items. Assuming bed, you need this, you need day and you pick up ten items for certain place and you only need to. Okay. The next question. Is there anything I can do about it? So this is good for a situation or challenge. You go through. Something happens. So I'll give you example myself. I was traveling and I was going to a city, different city it is. So I'm in South America, go into a different place and South America. And I figured that I'm only going to spend a week there. There's no need to bring my laptop with me. I get there, so I leave my laptop was where I was and I get there and then plans change and I stay for additional three weeks. Original plan was one week and then additional three weeks. So that's a month. Beating myself up, I should have brought my laptop, wouldn't I should have brought my lotto could have we could have got so much work and I could have made most out of my time because I haven't had a lot of free time. However, when I've caught myself beating myself up. Okay. Is there anything I could do about it? No. Unless have to get a plane and go back to a different city, becoming my lifetime callback, which I'm not gonna do that. But here's the thing. Instead of regretting, instead of thinking, okay. I should've, I could've, I would have more time wasting. Is there anything I could do about it? If the answer was yes, then do something about it. The answer was no, Which was no For me, like, Okay, how can I replace that productivity or how can I be productive with my time doing different tasks instead of using my laptop? So what happened was it removed? That's thoughts out of the equation, which means it's saved myself more mental energy. Okay, So I'm no longer being held back by. I should've could've I would have died from it. Move on. So when I asked a specific question, directed my focus, it changed my thought process, redirected my thought process into a better outcome. So I replaced that with written book and writing down my goals and specific, which was also productive because it gave me clarity. Okay. Next question. How can I prevent this from happening again? This is related to the previous question. I was like, what completes the previous question? Okay. Now, here's what happened. I didn't do my research as far as I was going to a place and I didn't know there would be certain activities that would be interested in. Okay. So I don't know, there will be a lot of it wasn't nature city, a lot of hiking, biking, a lot of camping. And so for me, I just wanted to be more spontaneous as possible. So instead of doing, instead of finding more about where I was going as far as activity so I know how much time I needed. I just ignored all the research. So here's how can I prevent this from Lebanon. So my answer to my Southwest, in order for me not to forget my laptop again, I would find out more about that place. Is the place requires a one-week is it two days visit or is it two weeks visits? Are there so many activities where I might stay longer than what I assume I would be. Okay, so that way I have confidence and where I'm going next time. So I noticed there was a pattern, patterned way of thinking, a certain way of thinking that led me to not be so responsible and leave my laptop where I was. Okay. So when I noticed that next time I traveled, how can I prevent this from happening? I did my research. I went to a different city and I did the research. And I was told from all the people, like over there you just need two or three days is more than enough. But when I did the research, I found that there's so many activities that I'm interested in doing such as writing the ATVs, horseback riding, biking. So I was like, no, I need much more than three days. So thankful that I did my research and find out I'd need at least ten days. There are minimum one week. And so instead of believing 03 days, I'll be fine. No need to bring my laptop. My laptop this time. And I was so happy I was I had a lot of free time and I got working. How did this helped me make progress in my daily lifestyle? Is because I asked a powerful question, how can I prevent this from happening again from my previous negative experience or negative situation? The next question is, what did I learn from this experience? I learned so much about myself. So could be an interaction, could be like, let's say you book a room and you had an interaction with the receptionist, which happened with me once, where they were like, Oh, you booked online, this is your checkout was on a certain day. But what happened was, I have spoken to so many people who work at that hotel and I had said I booked online for three nights, e.g. but I'm going to stay for longer. Was just a word of mouth. Instead, I should have having them like write me something nose or something, withdrawing from that. So I learned to be preparing, confirm everything e.g. on a piece of paper or send me an e-mail confirming that y is not 0. I said use it. Okay. So that way we don't have conflict. Again, in my reservation and my specific situation. Okay. What I learned from this, I learned from this experience that next time when I book online and I needed to extend my reservation in a hotel and I spoke speak to someone, they're directly have them conform with me on a piece of paper or send me an email. Email will be better something that I've approved for. So that way it won't be last-minute. Have to find a different place or wherever that is. Okay. For me. I learned confirm on a piece of paper or email. Okay. Sounds so simplistic, but very, very powerful because in my lifestyle It was important because when I travel from one place to another, I do a lot of booking and their situation needs to be solved. And I solved it by asking this time saving question. Where did I learn from this experience? An experience. If it's something that didn't help you make progress, didn't meet your outcome, didn't meet your expectations to meet your goal. Basically, what we call a negative experience. What did I learn from it? Because this experience would repeat itself, okay, So this will teach you more about yourself and your daily lifestyle, and this is how you become more productive. 4. Time management rules: Time management rules. So this is something that I want you to live by. Time management rules. These are things you write it down in your head and you live with it forever because it is that powerful. This is just about ethics of time, use of time. So the rules are, okay. Number one, always show up early, not on time. Rule number one, always show up early, not on time. Okay. What do I mean by that? Why early and not on time? Showing up early has a lot to offer to your people. The things that you need to know by showing up early. Because one, it shows that you are a caring person. You do care about the appointment you have. You do care about your job, your business, your service, your client tails are customers, okay? It shows that you respect other people's time. That's very important, okay? The worst thing is when your client or customer shows up before you, okay? You need to be up there. Force of authority, leading as a leadership position, leading the interaction, okay? And shows that you take your job seriously. It shows that you're winning in life, okay. Makes you appear more confident. Have you been in the situation where you're late and you're in a hurry, it doesn't feel good. You show up apologizing, anxious, uncomfortable, embarrassed. It's a victim mentality and you don't want to be that person. So the first rule, which is first habit you could say you got to build, is forget about showing up on time and start showing up early earlier, okay? Write this down, always show up early, okay? Number two. Rule number two. Prepare your day the night before, okay? So this is good for the indecisive people, okay. If you wake up in the morning, you get ready to go wherever you go into school, work, and you take your time trying to find the right pair of shoes, the right t-shirt, you change your shirt. Not sure. These are all time consuming habits. Okay. So you got to have a rule, you live by it. You prepare your day, the night before. Maybe it's too close. Maybe is your notebook, books or whatever you need for that stuff. So for me, e.g. I. Was go into Spanish school and I would prepare my things the night before. Okay. I have I know what shirt I'm wearing, a pair of shoes and even believe it or not, even the weather, I will check the weather in case if it's raining, I'll have my umbrella with me. Okay. Because sometimes you never know, it depends on where you live, but these are the things as an example that could slow me down. Okay. I don't want to appear in a hurry. I don't want to appear the last minute. Okay. I don't want to be under my confidence. I wanted to show it that I am when I am winning in my life. Okay. This bill sense of trust with the people around you. Okay. So you prepare your day the night before, live. By that, you either run the day or the day runs you rule number three, Don't be a perfectionist. I know this is difficult for a lot of people. And I'm sure you've been at that phase before. I had where I want to do it right as an example and don't get me wrong here. I'm not saying do things at a low quality performance. No, that's not the point. Well, I mean by perfectionism could be, video editing, could be trying to learn. If you're learning something new, want to be perfect from the get-go, it doesn't, you don't start perfect, starch, simple, basic, and improve as you go. If you spend time on perfection and what you won't be perfectionist, you will never make progress because you're stuck in that first. So learn as you go, Okay, Get Started. Improve as you go. Okay, don't worry about perfection. It's worrying or focus on progress. Don't focus on perfection. Focus on progress. Make progress. How can I do it better? Improve? Move on progress and prove, okay? And this is how you save yourself a lot of time and be productive in your desk. Do not be a perfectionist. Rule number four, this is very important because it's everyday life. Focus on one thing, one thing, one task. If you look at this diagram here, is very clear. The key to achieving massive results is to focus on one thing. And if you look at your energy distributed in multiple places, this is very, very good example. Great example is when you live in your house, you're sitting in the living room and you have all the lights of the whole entire house on. All you're doing is wasting energy, will all you'll need is the light in the place, is t in it. That's an example of concentrating your energy in one place. One thing at a time. If you have so many tasks open on your laptop, if you have so many things on your desk, if you have 34 different tasks you're working on, you energy is distributed in multiple places and you have no quality of performance. Focus on one thing. I'll go deeper on that moving forward in this program. So that way you learn what's behind it, okay, Give you some resources as well too, so you can learn from to understand how important this concept is, okay? 5. Exercise for time management : Exercise for time management. So after everything we learned previously from measuring your time using a timer, time-saving questions, time management rules and all that. How do we put it into action? Here's an exercise for you to exercise everything you just learned. To avoid distraction, use a timer to track your usual or typical time spend in any of the following activities. Grocery shopping, cart jam, superficial conversation, staying in bed, getting ready to leave the house, etc. Okay. So here's what you need to do. The exercise. It has three rounds. Each round is about a week long, seven to ten days. So this is almost about one month. But it really, you go with your own pace, but you need to do this, I promise you it's worth it. It's a life-changing. In fact, it really is life-changing exercise. I did it. I'm happy that I did it. My life is completely different now and I'll explain to you how it works. Round one is the first seven days, five or 105 to ten days within around one week period. Right. That time spent for each desk through throughout the next week or seven to ten days using a piece of paper or your phone notes, whichever you prefer. Okay. For me, I like to use my notes, my phone because I have it with me the whole time instead of carrying so many papers. Why do I say seven to ten days is because sometimes you want you want it to have enough time. Maybe you just went shopping yesterday and you starting today. So you're not probably not going to go shopping to like next week or ten more days. So you have enough time to complete to measure all these tasks. I mentioned earlier that we waste time on. After that, you write down the number which I show example. You write down the time spent, usually second time, second round, which is the week after. You do the same exercise again, after you have tried to current time spent when you started on daily desk in the first round, set a goal to cut the time in half for each task. So if you spend 30 min on doing something desk, then you cut that in half plus 15 min. Third round, which is you do it again. Which after another week. After you have tried your currents, but you current time spent on daily tasks in the second round, set a goal to cut that new time hat again or eliminate some time for each or for each or some of the tasks. So example, how does this work? You can go back and look at this, but this is an example. This is an actual example for me, okay? These are my actual numbers here. So round one, e.g. staying in bed, this is me. I wake up, but I'm laying down in bed and I'm still scrolling on my phone. So I let myself naturally just flows see until I'm ready to go. And I averaged around 20 min. Okay. And then for shower takes me about 20 min because I play my music and I'm like showers like another a Hangout session. Oh, okay. Brushing my teeth. Almost 10 min. Grocery shopping and taking the 82 min, I have my, I use my timer, so car gem. So that's after I come back, I come to my house and I'm Bart and I'm still like I'm feeling the music, taking my time, or maybe on the phone sometimes. So this is how much I scored the first round. So I wrote it down. I let myself just go naturally without what I know, what I do usually. And then the second time I went over these desk, I started to track my goal was to be these numbers. So for staying in bed, I went from 20 min from waking up to 12 min. Much, much better. I felt much, much better. I was able to be my number. My goal was to cut in half, but still 12 min, really good shower. I went from 20 min to ten. I was able to get this like really, really in place much. But I was surprised because I really thought, Oh, I need 20, 30 min a shower and then brushing my teeth than 6 min grocery shopping for 8 min because I find I was wasting a lot of time. And I would ask myself while shopping, e.g. powerful question, was I looking for this before I came here? Because there's not move on. When I started using these types of equations. These are the results that I got as we've seen the screen. And finally round three, check this out and staying in bed one-minute, that's just as soon as alarm goes off, I'm out of bed less than a minute. Okay. Five-minutes to shower. Amazing. 3 min. Rushing, mighty. Grocery shopping takes me under half an hour. Within 20 min, I'm ready to go and then take this out car jam zero. So pretty much I eliminated two things out of here. But I went to zero, staying in bed. Car jam 00. This is amazing. It really gives me saves my mental energy. And so it keeps me, gives me more and motivation throughout the day. This is your exercise, okay, this is what I want you to do. To start tracking your time using a timer and write down. Your time's spent on these activities or tasks. And three rounds beat your numbers. And of course, I know some people say, Okay, well, a girl long hair, how can I shower with it? And it takes me it does take it, but this is about you versus you. You need to beat your own numbers, okay? Beating your own numbers here. So you don't need to compete with anyone else. This is you versus you. 6. Mindset Management: Alright, B2, mind management. This is very important. Managing your mind is reflection of your timespan, your daily lifestyle and everything. You either manage your mind or managers. You. How do you manage your mindset? The way this works is there's a constant you have to understand that your brain uses more energy than any other. Human organs. Accounting for up to 20% of the body's total energy use. My management is all about conserving and rejuvenating your mental energy. Okay? So with that concept, fundamental concept to start with, to begin with, to manage, to learn how to manage your mindset. You have to know that every thought you think, the direction of your focus all requires energy. So how we can serve that energy? How we rejuvenate the energy, okay? So you need to know what consumes your mental energy. What are the things that consumes your mental energy? So let's take a look at this. These are the four main things in life consumes your mental energy, create creative procrastination. I'll explain what that is. Social media, use pointless conversations and negative people. I'm gonna go over each one of those steps are things and explain in detail. 7. The creative procrastination phenomenon: Number one, creative procrastination. What is great if procrastination? Procrastination is when you give yourself a reason to procrastinate, when you give yourself a logical reason to procrastinate, okay? A logical reason. When you progress and you don't do what you're supposed to do, you feel guilty about it. Or greater procrastination. It gives you a justification, a logical reason. So that way you don't feel guilty about it. Okay, How does it work in daily lifestyle? So I give you example. Let's say you're going to, you decided, Hey, I'm gonna go workout. Okay? What happens is before you go workout, there are unnecessary things appear in your head, okay? So example, you decided to go to the gym and let's say on a Sunday and in gym clothes Is this real life example I went through it. Jim closes at 06:00 P.M. on Sunday, let's say and then what happens is it's 05:00 and you're thinking, should I go, should I not go? Okay. I should go. But but but so it's 05:00. He can still go. You have an hour left and you think, okay, I'm just gonna get my coffee. I'm going to get this word, this T-shirt instead, they write before you leave, I'm going to come back and grab a protein bar with my coffee or cookie with my coffee, something. Okay, Time is running. And then wait a minute, maybe I'm gonna wear different pair of shoes as an example, here I'm showing you. Then you start thinking it's 520. By the time I make it 530, barely have time. It's getting late. Maybe not today. Well, the gym clothes, is it? So just not going to go. You just justified everything. You gave herself reason. Greater procrastination is when you get pulled back on the outcome, you supposed to leave the house, but you keep getting pulled back. So what you need to do to overcome creative procrastination is eliminate time from the equation, okay? In my case, this is one of the times that creative procrastination got a hold of me, then I started overcoming that by eliminating time from the equation. So same scenario, different day. And I'm supposed to get my workout in. Health and fitness has priority in my life. Okay. So to me, well, the gym closes at 05:00 or maybe I don't have time to go to I have an appointment somewhere. I have only 30 min. So I do deserve to skip today, but instead I'm like okay with fastest thing I could do for my running shoes on, go outside, right now, go we go outside wrong for 20 min, come back. At least I got something in. My victory comes from beating the procrastination. Okay? Instead of giving myself a logical reasons, so that way I don't feel guilty about it. So what does that make me do in return? Give me a sense of pride and it builds a productive habit to overcome creative procrastination. Next time you catch yourself. Usually happens before we leave the house, something keeps pulling it back or maybe even before you get started, like let's say you get you got your laptop, you, but to do some work, you go to a coffee shop. We're going to do your work or library and then you just keep going back. If we get up, you see you go order your coffee, then you'll look in, you have a conversation, look in your backpack. So every time, right before we start, you get distracted and you do something not related to your goal, just to give yourself comfort. It is creative procrastination. You being creative about it. Eliminate time, get to the test, get going and then you can have your coffee, get going, and then you can take a small break. You can listen to music wherever there's would get go and get started. 8. Overcome the social media effect : Social media. Social media, as we all know that social media is very important tool to use, but also the ultimate distraction really depends on how you use. I'm not against it. I'm not with it 100%. I'm all about why. Use an example. Pick the bones of the fish, okay? It's how you use your social media so it could be a great distraction, okay, here's how it works. First, you need to understand that starts with distraction. You're scrolling because, why? Because you see videos or pictures of who other people okay. Of what their best time of their life. That's when it starts to consume your mental energy because your focus is going there, then starts to consume your time. There's no productivity, there's poor performance, there's poor outcome. There's no progress. When there's no progress, there's lack of motivation. It makes you it shifts your focus from yourself into a comparison somebody else's lifestyle, somebody else's achievement, if they're loud about it, they're like, life is all sunshine and rainbows in their world. And that is only the thirty-seconds you watch. That does not really reflect on their entire lifestyle, but because your focus is there, you take that to heart. And so what happens is that it starts to devalue yourself or start to backfire on you. And in that case, social media becomes a source of distraction. And eventually if you look at this diagram I put together will lead to like a motivation. Okay? So don't get me wrong. I'm not against unless I know it's about using it the right way. So instead of being unconscious consumption, randomly scrolling zoned out, you can use conscious consumption where you are focused and specific about your content that you consume in from social media, which I'll show you in exercises on the next one. How to go from unconscious consumption to conscious consumption. So here is your homework for social media. Clean up your social media. Unfollow, do not like can stop scrolling and follow any account that it's not contributing to your goals, your life, the content. If the content is not educating you or inspiring you, and then it's destroying your productivity. So unfollow any account, any entertainment account, you'll find all these Instagram models costly comparing yourself to. Don't follow, unfollow them, stopped liking their stuff because the more you like it, the more it appears in your in your feet. So do not give them likes, do not follow them. Only follow accounts that are related to your goals that helps you become a better person. Healthy tips, e.g. life lessons, e.g. something makes you a better person. These are contents that are worth your time, be conscious about it, okay? So that way you become better at using it. 9. How to avoid pointless conversations: So the next one is pointless conversations. This is very important. This picture explains it very well. Pointless conversations as a superficial conversation or any conversation that it's not feeding your purpose, feeding your mission, your goals, your outcome, etc. Needless to say, you gotta avoid those conversations, okay? So here's my concept rule about it. Avoid any conversation that does not contribute to your business career or your personal growth. Avoid politics and religion topics in public places unless it's your career. Do not, do not get into a debate of your perception about politics or about your beliefs about religion, politics, whatever that is, with someone else who has the opposite y. Because you just going to waste your mental energy for nothing and nothing will change. So, get into a habit of learning how to immediately skip one these conversations. Wrap it up in a way that it's nice and respectful and get going. So example for me, I was at staying at a hotel that they had a pool. And then what happened was in the pool I was networking with people, meeting people was a business events. So which is good because that's how you learn. However, conversations varies from person to person. So I meet this person who is who's a fan of drinking, drinking a lot. And I'm a healthy person with fitness guy who don't really care about alcohol. And we get an a conversation. And then this person tells me about drink, talks to me about drinks on his way to this state. He ordered at the airport, there was a bar, he ordered a drink and he's talking about alcohol. And he's talking about I don't understand the language of alcohol, not a drinker myself. So when I noticed then I told him he offered me to drink and I said, no, I don't drink. I noticed immediately, okay. He is into drinking and he's telling me about stories about his experience with alcohol at bars. It is not aligned with my purpose. I was at a business event and I'm looking forward to learning from other people. I'm looking for someone who's ahead of me so I can see the road ahead and my journey and my mission and my progress. So I wrapped it up immediately and I said, I would love to talk to you more about it, but now I'm in no hurry. I have to get ready to go somewhere. So I gave it a reason and I wrapped it up quickly. He was obvious that person was just really chill. Wants to have a conversation which is fine. I'll be interested if the conversation was aligned with my mission or purpose or my career. But it wasn't. So I wrapped it up quickly and I don't want to give justification or reasons why. I know I'm not a drinker. I'm healthy. Fitness a fitness guy. Alcohol is not good for you and all that. None of the none of the, I didn't want to get into a debate share and opposite belief about certain topics. So that's one of the examples that I give happened with me that you can share by learning how to avoid and skip pointless conversations. 10. How to deal with negative people: The next one, the most powerful one, negative people. Avoid negative people, okay? So first we need to know and identify who are the negative people, okay? So here that negative people or the Weiner's blamers, complainers, grasshoppers, they don't want to change for the better. They justified their failure instead of acknowledging it and work on improving themselves. These are the people that I call stuck in a victim mode. Oh, poor me. Why me? And they don't want to see progress, why they're constantly comparing themselves. But instead of wanting to change for the better they want, they want to pull you back or down with them so they can feel equal, so they can feel accepted. These are good people. They just have different mentality. And that mentality being a victim, being a blame Merkel, complainer at gossip or don't want to improve, does not align with productivity at all. Okay? So these are the people that I love them. I respect them, but I leave a keep a distant, I keep my conversations short with them. I keep my time super limited with them, is just enough to say, hi, bye, Good to see you. Hope everything is well, move on. Do not spend a lot of time with negative people. Earn a victim mentality. They don't want to come out of that victim mentality. That's what makes them negative. It drains your energy. And you're going to find these people and a lot of different environments, okay? Could be a family member, could be your friend, a friend in school, could be your coworker, your teammates. So they are pretty much everywhere where you need to do and you need to be nice with them, respect them for who they are, loved them for who they are, but leave a distance they focus for who you are. 11. Daytime routein & meditation: Super important. Okay, what do you do during the day? So this is this is after you wake up, you go through the morning and then you towards like the afternoon. What other things you could do to rejuvenate your energy because that's when usually energy starts to drop around 02:00 P.M. okay. So here are very simple concept for you to understand. The first one is about meditation. Now why no Aleppo say, well, I don't know how to meditate. I don't really believe in them meditation. I can't really stop my mind from thinking. Don't worry. It's very, very simple, does not require a lot of time, but it's very powerful. And here's why meditation can give you a sense of calmness. These and balanced that can benefit both your emotional well-being and your overall health. That is important. So now you probably wonder, how do I meditate? Well, there are plenty of apps that you can download on your phone that gives you the meditation you need. And there's like could be five-minutes, 10 min doesn't have to be like a 20-minute process or anything like that. Okay. One of them is this year, headspace. Headspace is my favorite one to use our other ones, but to keep it simple, this is when you can use or you can do meditation on your own and the way you do it to very simple. I'll show you the steps. Find a comfortable place. And step one, take a seed. Find a place where we feel comfortable, calm and quiet could be in your house, even your office sitting down, laying down whatever is comfortable for you. As long as this is safe and quiet environment, set a time limit, 5 min. If you, if you're a beginner, started with 3 min, 5 min is good. 10 min is nice. So wherever you, wherever you are, depends on how receptive you are to meditate. Now, what is your body where you hold intention? Drop your shoulders and start to focus on your breathing. You inhale deep through your nose, exhale long through your mouth. Inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale, and that's it. That's really what, really, what should I focus on? What should I think? Don't worry about it. It's about detaching from routine. It's about detaching from everything goes in your mind and just focus being present in that moment. The breathing itself, focusing on your breathing will help to redirect your focus because you're, you're associated, you're connecting your focus with your nervous system, Physiology, with your psychology, your mindset, with your body, mind-body connection. You do that every day. You can pick a time, okay, doesn't have to be at a certain time. You could do this in the morning, you can do it. You can do this two times a day, three times a day. It doesn't hurt. What it does is like a reset is like refresher for your mindset. What do you need to get into your habit of practicing meditation on regular basis, especially during the day. Okay. My favorite time to meditate is in the morning and during the day. That's when I get to detach and reconnect. 12. Power naps: The next concept is power naps. Power naps as the most underestimated. Okay? Power naps really gives you an energy boost, natural energy boost. But there's a trick you have to understand how it works. Okay. Let me explain something to you about power naps. Your power nap in your body goes, your mind goes to fall asleep and cycles, the first two are light and the second two are deep. The light cycles takes about ten to 20, up to 30 min to be in that super official or light sleep and cycle. After that for 30 min, you get into the second and third and the fourth sleeping cycles, which are REM sleep is a deep that takes minimum 30 min. After 30 min you fall into REM sleep is when you're dreaming. And here's what happened. Research shows when you wake up from REM sleep, you feel more groggy and tired. That's why if you wake up in the middle of a dream, that's where you more tired. So here's the key. When you take a power nap, keep it short. Ten to 18 min. Okay. You can go a little over a little bit. Under I like around 15 min is perfect for me. It's almost like you feel like you didn't even sleep at all. Trust me, it works magic. In fact, in Japan, they start building napping salons because Japan is one of the heart most hardworking places on Earth where people work in 16, 18 h a day. That's insane. But now because bound apps that important, they have their building an app and salons. Okay, so power nap tips. First job if you want, you can either use your alarm or there's a napping apps. You can use a really personal preference. There's one I like or business. Or you can download that one. Or you can just know music or whatever you like. Just make sure you set your alarm for less than 20 min. Power napping tips, try the breathing or another relaxing relaxation techniques, you start. So for me I like to just close my eyes, inhale deep, exhale long until my body naturally starts to breathing. To get back to breathing passively and pull me back in the rhythm. Quiet and dark and locations so you want to keep the light low? Sometimes I keep the light on because it keeps me awake in case if I was super tight, I don't want to fall asleep. Okay. Lie down on your bed. Of course. Or you can just on a recliner will be good. In a comfortable chair, will do it. Listen to soft music if you like. I personally prefer music. Okay. And gives yourself a few minutes to recover after you wake up. Wake up, quick stretch and good to go. But power nap, make it a daily habit. And practice. With like 5 min, 10 min, 15 min. You will be shocked how much progress you will make your energy. It really is a game changer for your energy levels. So take your naps, Let's go Homework, Medicaid, ten to 15 min for meditation and napping Daily. Download the meditation apps I told you about. So be sure to do that and start practicing those daily routines as part of your schedule. 13. How to motivate yourself: Okay, It is the most common question. How do I motivate myself? So I'm gonna go over this. Yes, it is good portion of your productivity to be self-motivated. How do you do this? Being self-motivated, It's all about what do you feed your mind? Width. Okay? So these are the concepts, the three concepts that I want to share with you about very simple concept about motivating yourself. Number one is movement. Movement is super important. I'm not talking about the gym time only. Okay. I'm talking about movement like this right now. Awesome. Work. I would stand up and move. I don't do it now, of course, because I want to be close to the microphone. But while working on this e.g. every one to 2 h, I would get up and move. I will stretch my body. Okay, exactly like how we see in these pictures. So the first thing I want to do, take a walk around the building. Whenever you, whenever you get up, walk around building, get some fresh air. And of course, if the weather is cold and snowing, weather doesn't help, then you just move around the office. Quick stretch, stretch it back, stretch your neck. Weight by walking instead of sitting if you're going somewhere. So I use movement for replacing a time as an example. Instead of taking the elevator, I take the stairs. I prefer to walk if I'm at an office and they say, Okay, we'll give us 10 min. I'll be standing, walking around the office area instead of just sitting down. Okay. Movement as much as you can. Movement throughout the day. Keeps your blood circulation moving faster, which means gives you more energy, keeps your joints move and keeps her going. Pumping. Walk to meetings on and off camps and instead of driving when you're somewhere nearby and just like few minutes, walk, walk, go for it. Don't get too comfortable. Get up and stretch every two to 3 h like I showed you earlier for me, I just did my stretching, actually love to stretch my legs, my lower back. Again to a habit of movement. Also, I like to use the fitness ball, the bouncing ball. What's a medicine ball? And instead of a chair, because it keeps me moving. Okay, sometimes I get tired from students along. There's so many ways that you can go about it, but the concept is to get moving. Okay? The second concept of keeping yourself motivated is empowering content consumption. What do you feed your mind? It will reflect on how you feel. So entertaining shows or just music just for fun. You just try to entertain yourself. It's not going to help you get better in your daily life, which you need is some good podcast, good YouTube videos to watch. These are your best friends. Who should you listen to? These are my favorite people I love to listen to. Listen to Les Brown or Eric Thomas or David Goggins. David Gardner's is a Navy seal guy that tells you a lot about they're, they're, they're talking about motivation. That's motivation right there. Navy Seals, right? So then Eric Thomas is just an, another beast that I love. Listen to his content and less brown full of wisdom, full of inspiration. Audio books, as much as you can. Audio books are your best friends. You can have. You can listen to audio books while doing while you're driving. Turn your garden to library. Okay. While you're cleaning. Where vacuum in the house or washing the dishes. Audio books are your best friends podcast also. These are things you could do on the go, okay? But be important, this is about what do you choose to focus on to feed your mind width. So if I were you, I would look up this people right now as we're talking. The third concept of being self-motivated. This is very important. Make or break. Surround yourself with people who seek success, growth, and prosperity. Basically surround yourself with people on the same mission as you. Okay? This is my favorite quote about it right here, quote, You are the average of the five people you spend your time with, you become who you spend your time with. If you hang out with people with no goals and lost and confused, no mission, you're going to grow up or turn them. You're gonna become lost and confused. You surround yourself with people are hungry, ambitious. You're gonna get hungry and ambitious. When you surround yourself with like-minded people, what you need is one of the things that happen will be, you will gain new perspective on life. It gives you a new perspective, okay? And exercise your creativity because it's going to begin to share with you thoughts and ideas that gives you a new perspective on doing things in a different way, maybe a faster way, maybe a smarter way. It will be sharpening your mindset. When you surround yourself with like-minded people, you learn new things. Okay? He likes change ideas. You'll learn more about yourself and others, okay? This is absolute progress. To make absolute boost for your progress. Surround yourself with people who are on the same mission as you. Homework. Get into the habit of moving every two to 3 h during the day. You can set your alarm or a timer to remind yourself, okay, but get moving to start listening to audio books and or podcasts. Okay? So that, that's, that's great. You don't need special time for that while vacuum and while driving, while washing dishes. Audio, a good audio book, a good podcast, something that helps you elevate. And life. Start spending more time with like-minded people. Learn from them. People who were on the same page as you owe, people are ahead of you. That's great because they're going to stretch you to learn more. And it, trust me, it changes the way you dress will change, the way you have conversations, will change the places you go will change. Why? Because you're hanging out with people who are like you want to be, you want to be like them, or people like you, or people ahead of you, where stretches you to thrive further to make more progress. 14. This is why you procrastinate!: How to overcome procrastination and the ultimate question when it comes to productivity. But the proper question is why do we procrastinate? We need to find out the cause of procrastination so we can treat it. Okay, We're on, we want to focus on the cause. So here in this video I'm going to show you how do you, how to overcome procrastination by understanding the cause of what causes. Why do we procrastinate? The number one reason why we procrastinate is watch this because we don't get started. It's that simple. But it happens. And the reason why we don't get started to work on a task or project is because we break it down to too many pieces. What does that mean? The project, the tears down, too many pieces. Give you example. Let's say you have an outcome, you want to go get your workout in. This is one example. The thought process. I'm gonna walk you through the thought process of breaking into too many pieces, making it more complicating, of course, is that I need to get my gym bag. I need to get my workout clothes, I need to get my protein shake. I need to drive all the way there. I need to get to my locker, put my stuff in the locker, need to change. You need to fill up my water bottle, need to grab my headphones. I'm not sure I want to I'm not sure what I want to work on today. It's exhausting to go through this thought process. As I mentioned in the beginning, the main concept of this mental energy use for mine management. Your brain uses lots of energy more than any other organs in your body. All these thoughts are energy consuming, which means by the time you get to the decision, you will be decision fatigue, tired to make a decision. And so your brain will play it safe and make your retract rather than protract. And this one, you decide not to take the action because you're drained mentally. So instead, what you do look at this process here, which I'll show you a concept to follow three steps. If you break it down to less pieces, I wanted to get my workout in. Okay, That's the that's the outcome. Three pieces. I need to get my gym bag. I'm doing cardio today, pick up the car keys, NGO, that's it. It's that simple. 15. How to overcome procrastination: As simple strategy to complete a task or project. Three steps. Again, I'll walk you through those three steps. One, step one is an external search, something about the project or the task you want to work on. Second step is the internal search. Something about you relating to that hello task could be your skills, your knowledge about it. And number three, very simple take action, put into work. After you gather what you need, you put into work, you start taking action. So what would an example of that be? Like I said, external search related to the task or project, information about what you're working on. Second, is internal search, something related to your self, which would be your skills about it, your knowledge about it, your abilities, et cetera. And then taking the action and start implementing immediately. So I give you example, working on a project. However, before we start our current project, This is the attitude you need to begin with. But these statements in your head and live with it forever. When you start working on a project, you need to have your mind to be acceptance of it, allowing of it. Okay? So here's what you need to know and repeat after me, write it down on a piece of paper. Everything is searchable. Everything is Googleable, everything is YouTube, double. Everything is doable. I can do this. Others have done it before and I can do it too. I literally say this when I work on a project, which I'll give you example. I bought a pool table that I wanted to set up. Okay. I wanted to set it up myself. I picked it up from somewhere as dissemble and it's in my garage and has been there for one year. Every day. I say I will do it Monday. Monday comes. I will do it next week, next week, next month as well, one year later. And that pool table is still my garage until I start to implement this concept right here. So that's what simplify the project because I was breaking it down in my head for too many pieces. So I gotta do this and I gotta do that. So I did my work. Okay, I did the external search about the pool table. What do I need? I gathered information about how to set up the pool table and watch the videos and then relate it to myself. What do I need to learn how to use the tools, how to use the level to balance it out. Okay, so these are things related to me. And third, take the action. Before I took the action, I went over my productive attitude. Okay. And I repeat this. Everything is searchable, everything is Googleable, everything is you do I said it out loud. I really, really did set it to myself and it's been done before others have done. I can do it to set a number pool table. It's not easy. It's not. Now something that I have background in is not something that's part of my previous experiences is totally new and it's very challenging project for myself. But I didn't want to spend so much money on having someone else to do it for me because it was very expensive. So the results is I got into the action. I searched the how to set up a pool table, watch the videos, and I found out what do I need to set it up. So things examples step to something related to myself. What do I need? I need to buy a small drill level. Lynn, how to use them? Losing a level, of course, the wood glue. I need to find someone to help me bring this late sides because that thing is really happy. He's like thousand over 1,000 pounds heavy. Okay. So I need I need a hand, I need tools and then take the action, repeated. My productive attitude, everything is searchable, which I did. Everything is doable, everything's Google. I can do it too. And then what happened, the results of that took the action, follow these steps. And then boom, I set up the pool table successfully. Step one, I did the research, I watch videos, I took notes, I learned. Step two, I learned, what do I need from us as far as tools, as far as knowledge, and then take the action and then I set it up. So I have myself about a $1,000 because it's expensive sample table. And here you go. I got it. Okay. No background and no engineering backgrounds. Know like even being a handyman background? No experience. I can play pool but I don't know how to set up the pool table. This was a tough project. This was actually three days project. But look, I did it. I'm proud of it. I'm habitat. Did I implement this formula or strategy with every task or project that I need to conquer. Okay? Chris, you to highly, highly use it. So your homework is to use the strategy I just showed you to start working on an unfinished task or project. Okay. Unfinished task or project. So if you have started something and it's been unfinished, It's time to get back to it. Break it down your thought process to small pieces, tiny pieces, simple steps, very few pieces in your head, implement the strategy and get it going. And I'll see you on the next video. 16. How to create mental clarity: Alright, and mental clarity, okay? If you want to organize your mind, you start by organizing your space and that is your office space, your car, your house, closet, room, etc. You're probably wondering, really, organizing MySpace gives me mental clarity. The answer is yes, 100%, okay? And here's why. Listen. Your mind is just as organized as your car. Your mind is distant or as the organisers, your room, your office space, okay? If you've got so many things in your car, you got so many things in your office, like a mess on your desk. This is how your mind is, is just a reflection of it. And explain behind the concept behind it or the science behind it. Why? Because the clutter is what causes us to be stress, believe it or not. Okay, so if you want to create a mental clarity, start by organizing your space. Why does mess lead to much stress? Okay, So why does the clutter lead to stress? One, because clutter bombards our minds with excessive stimuli, visual stimuli or factory the smell, causing our census to work over time on stimuli that are unnecessary or importance, everything you see is grading thoughts could be bunch of books or papers that reward you read. It gives you a thought process and interrupt your thought process. It shifts, you drifted away from your focus. Okay. The second clutter constantly signals to our brains that our work is never done. Okay? And that is very, very important. Why? Because when you are constantly thinking you're not done, you're not done, you're not motivated to work on a task. You feel drained, okay, it doesn't meet your expectations. Okay. So your car start by organizing your car as an example, okay? Or your office. Okay? Clutter inhibits creativity and productivity by invading the open space that allow most people to think, brainstorm, and problem-solve. When you don't have a space in your mind to start. Brainstorming are focused on solutions because you're distracted by thoughts and external stimuli, visual stimuli from the masters in your office or new car. You don't have time to focus on solutions. You don't have time to be creative or focus on creativity. For clutter frustrates us by preventing us from locating what we need quickly. Okay. So when you, when you want a piece of paper or you're looking for your notebook to write something important with. You're constantly searching for it. You are being frustrated because it's keeping you away from your outcome. So look at this picture. Trust me, it feels much better when you organize your space. And I promise you for me sometimes when I don't feel good and I feel like just demoed if you're tired. I start by organizing my space. Okay. My office or my car. And trust me, it feels ten times better. It really does magic. This is good example here. If you've got kids and you want to be organized, teach your kids to be organized, okay? Yes. So many things you can get for your office or your car to be more organized today. You don't have to have everything in one place. Trust me, it's a higher standard, gives you a sense of confidence. So be organized homework, dedicated special day, and time to organize your space. My favorite day to clear and organized MySpace is on Sunday 12th BM every Sunday, 12:00 P.M. I'm working on organizing. My space. Could be my office, could be my closet, could be my car, could be all of them. I dedicate the time to do it. It is part of my daily lifestyle. 17. Daily rituals for success: Okay, welcome back to part three, daily life rituals. This is very important because you will never change your life until you change something you do daily, write this down. It is that important. So I'm going to show you the rituals, the life rituals to do every single day. It's either do or do you have to do every single day, live by it. Here are my elbow, my rituals and rituals of highly successful people. Number one, journal, which you thankful for. Write it down. What do you are thankful for? What did you learn today? Listen to this quote, right? I write because I don't know what I think until I read what I say. As I'm talking to you, I had just finished my journaling and you can see a lot of stuff right here. Okay. So I take this seriously. I journal okay. My favorite times in the morning. Okay. So you need to get into the habit. Start journaling, okay. In the beginning, don't know where to start. Don't worry. Write something and start there. Number to meditate. Besides your daily routine, meditation for me, I do to meditation in the morning and during the day. During the day is part of my daily routine or daytime routine. But in the morning I need silence. Okay. You become what you read, you become what you listened to. You become what you watch, you become what you think. So choose wisely. Okay? That is how important meditation. Okay, so get into the habit. You journal, you meditate. And number three, work out. If you're a person who already works out, no problem, you're good. If you haven't started, it is time to elevate your productivity by incorporating, working out to your daily routine. Exercise not only changes your body, it changes your mind, your attitude, and your mood. It changes your whole life. So you need to get started. 20 min a day will do it, build it up to 30 min a day, 40 min a day. Don't know what don't know how to get a trainer. Okay. We get into the habit of exercising at least three times a week and build your way up, but workout has to be do or do every week. Okay. For me, six days a week. Number four, Stretch 5 min per day, dedicated time to stretch stretch like multiple times a day, but my favorite main times in the morning, first thing in the morning, wake up, stretch journal, coffee. But this stretch of talking about throughout the day, just dedicate some time, five-minutes doesn't have to be long hour. You are only as youngest. Your spine is flexible. That is so true. I believe that flexibility is important. You want is, you want to be, you want to stay young, stretch and drink a lot of water to. Number five, take time off and be playful. This is probably the most challenging one for the people who work hard. And trust me, taken time off, It's not about Don don't work. No. Because you could be. I'm sure you had the experience where you go on that vacation, but you're thinking work and you don't want that neither. Okay. So taken time off means you're mentally detach from the routine, be playful. Do you know what I do? I watch Tom and Jerry believe it or not. One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living that is deep as powerful. Dale Carnegie, okay, I watch Tom and Jerry, something funny, something cool, something that's serious. Be playful. Hangout, play cards, chill, go for a walk, play music, sit down and just detach from routine just instead of doing, start feeling instead of doing. Okay, get out of doing mode again to the feeling mode. I sit down, I sit outside, just people watch coffee, music, just relaxed. Say hello to people, walk around the office area. Hey, so and so are you doing someone who was not busy? Good to see you? High-five. You play for. Ok. Watch Tom and Jerry. Diamond jewelry is something I watch. Like every day there's my data, my time off. Okay. Number six, read books. I wanna make a suggestion for you on the next video for a bunch of books that are highly recommend to read. But here's what's important. This is a quote that is so, so true. I do believe something very magical can happen when you read a good book. I personally have been through that. A book can change your entire life, the direction, one small shift in your life, and it changes your whole entire life. Read books, what books? With personal growth books that elevates your life.

Books that will elevate your life when they go over the list of these books that I have for you, make recommendations. These are books I've read and I've changed my life and I hope does the same thing for your number one, Think and Grow Rich. This is a good work if you are in the personal development world as a general, okay, and you're looking for the next level of personal growth and you want more general growth. You start with Think and Grow Rich. Okay? Next one is Atomic Habits. Listening habits, if you're under the same motivation will get you started, but habits will keep you going. This is my favorite book about habits. In this book, the author breaks down the process of creating habits. So that way you learn how to let go of old habits and create new ones by choice for that aligns with your goals and outcomes to create more productivity to get your outcome stronger and more effectively. Atomic Habits. Eat that frog. This is good book about prioritizing your schedule, okay? Because you can have five things on your to-do list. Okay. But it's not about how many things you have on your to-do list. It's about what's important from what's the priority is from the least to the most important for the most important to least eat the frog is about starting with the most important task. In the day.
