EXPERT SPOTLIGHT: Brain fog or brain brilliance... your choice! with Lucas Root - Episode 50 of Better Business, Better Life!

I wasn't sure what to expect when I interviewed Lucas but I can honestly say... "Mind blown!" 

On his one-pager, Lucas is described as, "For over 17 years, Lucas Root led numerous teams on Wall Street. After establishing a consistent track record of success, Lucas started his own consulting business. Lucas works with strong brands with a well-funded great idea, that don’t quite know how to execute. Since early 2019, Lucas has had the wonderful opportunity to speak to numerous audiences in North America, Australia, and Europe, as well as partner with both businesses and VCs for mentoring.

He had a number of topics we could talk about & we chose "Productivity - especially while Working From Home; includes brain state management, Routines, scheduling and planning, space management, clothing."

And what a ride that was! Normally we ask for 3 tips - this episode has an entire book worth of productivity tips through changing your brain state. I thought I was up with the play on sleep & brain activity, however, I walked away buzzing.

Lucas' Top 3 Tips

1.  Break down your day into time chunks that you can keep track of easily

Maybe it's an hour, an hour is a good place to start. Most people can keep track of their hours throughout the day. 

2. Come up with a plan for what you're going to accomplish in that hour

Have a very, very simple plan for every single hour throughout the day. And take a moment to either write it down or say it out loud at the beginning of that hour every hour every day. That's it. Very, very simple. That alone will make dramatic changes in your life. So you know it's noon, "I'm going to take my lunch break." Say it out loud. "For the next hour, I'm going to relax, not think about work and eat food done." You will find you have more energy at 7pm, just by doing that every single day.

3. Take notes

Write down the things that are on the list inside your head. Do it all the time, as often as you can tolerate. Most of the people that are in the productivity space, and I respect their opinions tremendously, say that a physical pen and paper is far more effective for this. So if you can carry around a notebook and a pen, do it. If you can't, electronic tools work.
