#3405: What To Eliminate From Your Calendar
In this episode, I’m talking about how to filter out what needs to be eliminated from your calendar. Time is your most valuable resource, yet many people treat it like it’s unlimited. As a professional, every minute should be moving you forward making money, serving people, or improving your position. The goal isn’t to add more to your plate but to remove the stuff that’s wasting your time. I’ll show you how to cut out the clutter so your calendar only holds what truly matters.
Show Notes:
[02:24]#1 Good ideas that are not priorities.
[07:50]#2 Recurring does not equal required.
[11:58]#3 Delegate what can be delegated.

#3404: "Nice" People Are Just Liars
Being “nice” is not the goal and if you’re just trying to be nice, you’re lying. You’re putting on a fake version of yourself to make people like you. I’ve said it many times: being important matters way more than being nice. This is a results game, not a nice person contest. Get important first then you can choose to be nice if you want.
Show Notes:
[02:08]#1 Being “nice” is a costume.
[10:04]#2 Nice people rather be comfortable than to get to what's real.
[18:54]#3 Nice people cannot be trusted as leaders in any type of relationship.

#3403: You Are Not Depressed
You don’t have depression. Just like I said yesterday about ADHD, a lot of people use this label as an excuse for not doing what they need to do. The drug and therapy industries push this so you’ll keep needing them. That's how they make money. Today, I’m breaking down why most of what you’ve heard about depression is not true and why you have more control than you think.
Show Notes:
[03:48]#1 You are much more disconnected than you are depressed.
[09:42]#2 Your brain's turning inward, you're thinking everything's bad.
[18:19]#3 Emotional pain is not a permanent identity.

#3402: You Do Not Have ADHD
I don’t believe you have ADHD. A lot of us got that label as kids because a teacher or counselor said we couldn’t focus like the other students. The truth is, this whole ADHD thing was created by the system and drug companies to give schools and parents an excuse. They just wanted us to sit still, be quiet, and follow boring lessons from people who never actually did what they teach. In this episode, I’m breaking down why you don’t have ADHD and why it’s time to stop using it as an excuse.
Show Notes:
[03:30]#1 You have no structure and thus no discipline.
[08:17]#2 Most of us are wired for consistent stimulation rather than we are wired for completion, discipline or focus.
[15:43]#3 ADHD is an offloading of accountability and responsibility.

Mental toughness is explored as an integral part of identity rather than a simple skill. It emphasizes the need for resilience and consistency in the face of challenges. Personal stories illuminate how this mindset can drive exceptional actions and results.

#3398: How To Eliminate Your Passive Aggression [Part 4 of 4]
This is part four, the final part of my series on killing passive aggression. Today I’m breaking down three more bad habits you need to kill. First, stop being the messenger for someone else’s words—let them speak for themselves. Second, don’t get others to fight your battles, and don’t fight theirs. Third, if you think something might bother someone, talk to them first—or just own what you did and deal with it. At Work On Your Game University, we turn discipline into dominance so you can win in mindset, structure, strategy, and execution.
Show Notes:
[00:35]#10 Telling you what someone else said about you instead of owning it.
[05:06]#11 Never get someone else to confront on your behalf.
[13:10]#12 I didn't know it would bother you.

#3397: How To Eliminate Your Passive Aggression [Part 3 of 4]
This is part three of my four-part series on killing passive aggression. Today I’m talking about three specific tactics: withholding enthusiasm, praising someone’s competition, and pouting or sulking. These are sneaky ways people avoid saying what’s really on their mind. Women often use these methods naturally, but when men start doing them, it’s a bigger problem—because as a man, you should be direct and speak up instead of waiting to be prompted. The best way to deal with this behavior? Call it out straight up.
Show Notes:
[00:32]#7 Withholding of enthusiasm.
[05:54]#8 Praising someone's competition.
[13:43]#9 Instead of sharing that there is an issue, pouting and sulking.
