Creating an Essential List of Priorities
To achieve moderate success in life, it's important to prioritize and define the essential aspects of your life. Make a detailed list of everything that you want or have to dedicate time to, whether it's family, work, health, or personal time. This process will help you identify what is truly important and what can be eliminated or delegated. By critically analyzing and refining this list, you can create a focused and balanced approach to achieving your goals.
Recognizing Different Day Types
Not every day is the same, and acknowledging this can greatly impact your productivity. Identify different types of days based on your unique circumstances, such as work schedules, family commitments, or personal routines. For each day type, determine the specific activities and responsibilities that need to be fulfilled. By understanding the nuances of each day type, you can better allocate your time and energy to the most relevant tasks, allowing for greater efficiency and effectiveness.
Allocating Time for High-Impact Work
Once you have a clear understanding of your essential priorities and the different day types, allocate specific amounts of time to each task or activity. Focus on quality rather than quantity in terms of work hours. Designate uninterrupted periods for deep work on your main job or other critical tasks. By safeguarding dedicated time for these high-impact activities, you can avoid distractions and achieve greater productivity and results. Additionally, effectively managing your time and tasks will lead to reduced stress and improved overall well-being.
This is not the place where you'll hear about how to build a billion-dollar business, win an ironman event, or find spiritual enlightenment. What I can share is my experience around how to build, lead and exit a business of maybe a few million dollars, how to place in the top 10 in a mountain bike stage race or how to implement systems to continually work and improve on your mental and physical health.In short…I might be able to offer a little help on how to be moderately successful. To be really clear, nothing that I share is financial advice or advice of any kind for that matter but rather my own experience shared. It’s critical that you do your own research on anything that I share in this podcast and that you take responsibility for your own decisions.I want to challenge you to be more than just a passenger. If you hear anything in any of the episodes that resonate with you and that you want to implement in your own life, take action by teaching that thing to someone within the next 24 hours and then ask them to hold you accountable for doing the thing that you said you were going to do. Teaching is often the best way to learn and accountability is usually the thing between talk and meaningful, consistent action. I hope you find some value...
