Entrepreneurs need to switch between wearing their maker hat, where they need long periods of uninterrupted time to create, and their manager hat, where they need their day scheduled in short time chunks. A maker's calendar should look completely empty to allow for deep work and creativity, while a manager's calendar should be filled with short time slots to optimize productivity. Understanding which hat to wear is crucial for success in managing both creativity and productivity effectively.
“Thinking through conditions first rather than willpower first has been incredibly helpful for me.” Today, Alex (@AlexHormozi) shares productivity tactics and strategies for success, inspired by B.F. Skinner's behavior theory. The discussion includes managing time and attention, distinguishing between 'maker' and 'manager' roles, prioritizing deep work, and practical tips for goal setting and minimizing distractions.
