1. Set goals and objectives: decide what you want, what type of qualities you admire, what type of goals you wish to achieve.

2. Assess strengths and weaknesses: examine yourself, what you are good at, what you need to improve on. For example if you have lots of ideas and plan, but you’re also a little shy you know that’s what you should work on

3. Take out toxicity: things, or people, that constantly hurt you or make you feel less than should be taken out of the equation for growth. This is easier said than done, but at least minimize the things contaminating your path to progress.

4. Create an action plan: a way to slowly change your behaviours and habits, this is hard because you should be realistic too. Again if you’re shy this could mean putting yourself out there more.

5. Implement plan: this is when you put into play what you were planning. This step is hard to because it requires work, and this is the part where you need to be sure of your goals that you made earlier. You’re putting in all this effort so be sure it’s for a good reason.

6. Analyze the effectiveness of the plan: after a while of consistently implementing the plan analyze the impact of it. Do you feel happier? More fulfilled? Do you think it’s going well? If it’s not it’s probably because you’re expecting too much, and need to pace yourself. If that’s the case break your plan down into phases so it’s manageable and doesn’t overwhelm you.

7. Forgive yourself (and others): along the line you may have made mistakes, or others may have done small things to upset you. While it’s important to recognize when you’ve been wronged it’s also important to address it in a healthy way. Talk out issues and work for forgiveness. This allows you to be rid of negativity and focus on yourself and your path.

8. Develop discipline and routine: this is something that happens after constantly repeating things that work for you. Repeating good behaviour and habits so much so that they become a part of you. This isn’t based off the “treat yourself” self-care rhetoric, rather it’s hard work you’ve put into changing your ways of thinking and dealing with failures. Instead of regression after failure, your work ethic and mindset should be to find another solution, and to not beat yourself up.

9. Maintain or cultivate relationships: having positive warm people in your life will make any hardship easier and having them support you will be motivation.

10. Always be learning: learn from people around you, learn from the trees, learn from the relationships that didn’t work out. This will help you understand others and to improve your own life. Don’t become static. If anything becoming the best version of yourself is impossible, it’s unattainable because you are constantly changing and life is not static either. You need to be the most adaptable and kind version of yourself.

I look for you everywhere; small gestures made by all kinds of people in the street remind me of you, by their similarity as much as by their differences, but I cannot say what is obsessing me; it obsesses me utterly and leaves no strength to express it.

21 Tips to Become the Most Productive Person You Know

I wanted to help you create explosive productivity so you get big things done (and make your life matter). Here are 21 tips to get you to your best productivity.

#1. Check email in the afternoon so you protect the peak energy hours of your mornings for your best work. 

#2. Stop waiting for perfect conditions to launch a great project. Immediate action fuels a positive feedback loop that drives even more action. 

#3. Remember that big, brave goals release energy. So set them clearly and then revisit them every morning for 5 minutes. 

#4. Mess creates stress (I learned this from tennis icon Andre Agassi who said he wouldn’t let anyone touch his tennis bag because if it got disorganized, he’d get distracted). So clean out the clutter in your office to get more done. 

#5. Sell your TV. You’re just watching other people get successful versus doing the things that will get you to your dreams. 

#6. Say goodbye to the energy vampires in your life (the negative souls who steal your enthusiasm). 

#7. Run routines. When I studied the creative lives of massively productive people like Stephen King, John Grisham and Thomas Edison, I discovered they follow strict daily routines. (i.e., when they would get up, when they would start work, when they would exercise and when they would relax). Peak productivity’s not about luck. It’s about devotion. 

#8. Get up at 5 am. Win the battle of the bed. Put mind over mattress. This habit alone will strengthen your willpower so it serves you more dutifully in the key areas of your life. 

#9. Don’t do so many meetings. (I’ve trained the employees of our FORTUNE 500 clients on exactly how to do this – including having the few meetings they now do standing up – and it’s created breakthrough results for them). 

#10. Don’t say yes to every request. Most of us have a deep need to be liked. That translates into us saying yes to everything – which is the end of your elite productivity. 

#11. Outsource everything you can’t be BIW (Best in the World) at. Focus only on activities within what I call “Your Picasso Zone”. 

#12. Stop multi-tasking. New research confirms that all the distractions invading our lives are rewiring the way our brains work (and drop our IQ by 5 points!). Be one of the rare-air few who develops the mental and physical discipline to have a mono-maniacal focus on one thing for many hours. (It’s all about practice). 

#13. Get fit like Madonna. Getting to your absolute best physical condition will create explosive energy, renew your focus and multiply your creativity. 

#14. Workout 2X a day. This is just one of the little-known productivity tactics that I’ll walk you through in my new online training program YOUR PRODUCTIVITY UNLEASHED (details at the end of this post) but here’s the key: exercise is one of the greatest productivity tools in the world. So do 20 minutes first thing in the morning and then another workout around 6 or 7 pm to set you up for wow in the evening. 

#15. Drink more water. When you’re dehydrated, you’ll have far less energy. And get less done. 

#16. Work in 90 minute blocks with 10 minute intervals to recover and refuel (another game-changing move I personally use to do my best work).

#17. Write a Stop Doing List. Every productive person obsessively sets To Do Lists. But those who play at world-class also record what they commit to stop doing. Steve Jobs said that what made Apple Apple was not so much what they chose to build but all the projects they chose to ignore. #18. Use your commute time. If you’re commuting 30 minutes each way every day – get this: at the end of a year, you’ve spent 6 weeks of 8 hour days in your car. I encourage you to use that time to listen to fantastic books on audio + excellent podcasts and valuable learning programs. Remember, the fastest way to double your income is to triple your rate of learning. 

#19. Be a contrarian. Why buy your groceries at the time the store is busiest? Why go to movies on the most popular nights? Why hit the gym when the gym’s completely full? Do things at off-peak hours and you’ll save so many of them. 

#20. Get things right the first time. Most people are wildly distracted these days. And so they make mistakes. To unleash your productivity, become one of the special performers who have the mindset of doing what it takes to get it flawless first. This saves you days of having to fix problems. 

#21. Get lost. Don’t be so available to everyone. I often spend hours at a time in the cafeteria of a university close to our headquarters. I turn off my devices and think, create, plan and write. Zero interruptions. Pure focus. Massive results. I truly hope these 21 productivity tips have been valuable to you. And that I’ve been of service. Your productivity is your life made visible. Please protect it. Stay productive.

Things to Stop Tolerating

1. Toxic relationships and environments. 2. Rudeness and a lack of basic courtesy. 3. A disregard of healthy and appropriate boundaries. 4. Being constantly used and disrespected by others. 5. Hiding your true self, or your personality. 6. Feeling bored and empty, or feeling life lacks meaning. 7. The pressure to “just settle”- and give up on your dreams.
