0:42

I'm not yet sort of relative.

0:45

You know what about about. So today

0:49

I have all the time and here's your here's

0:51

why in a second but it's but you need

0:54

to do that and the first thing you want

0:56

to do right now is just pay attention. That

0:58

thing you don't want to do is go google

1:00

productivity because as soon as you do I blush

1:02

I need to get some like ceramic polish for each

1:35

start. you can't touch it. If

1:38

he looked at I was kidding. I

1:40

think you know doctors get caught up

1:42

in their own little world and. Then.

1:44

I live in a world was basically says mess with the

1:46

doctor caught up in his world. Good.

1:49

Am here today. The

1:51

1:54

this is a I'm convalescing probably by now and probably

1:56

running marathons. I'm just I'm telling you yeah because I

1:58

2:00

ask him I said so what's a fast as recovery

2:02

2:21

job Doctor says it's good stuff. He.

2:23

Was assisting come on a huge his little bit as

2:25

I talked you just a tad this week as I'm

2:27

really gonna stream of consciousness as it's a convalescent conscious

2:29

as conversation this week right now level or isn't that.

2:33

But I'm a bar were upbeat motivated kind

2:35

of guy. I don't understand love old people

2:37

because do modem or they're not that way.

2:39

But. Did I kill a young people? to than other wieder.

2:42

M A whole entire life. I run into people like Adam

2:44

and are aware. Stuck. In a

2:46

place. And. I walk in the dorm

2:48

believing anything is possible and is being realistic

2:50

as opposed. Good because I totally believed. That.

2:53

You get what you think about. As long as

2:55

you get a free as in to do something about. Ah

2:57

well I'm convalescing. I can't as as a be up

2:59

my ass but. I can metaphorically be

3:01

there. And that's where we are today. So

3:05

I'm going into this thing. In

3:07

a manner of like this project foreign list as

3:09

be positive balance take what we got to make

3:12

lemonade out of the lemons of we have. And

3:14

I want you to the same thing console if

3:16

I if I play mill other role of in

3:18

a completely driving you crazy because the talk too

3:20

fast sometimes floor my words messing up what I

3:22

should be saying thing and wrong way. sometimes I

3:24

make you laugh like crazy another sense I totally

3:26

get mad if I do nothing other than that.

3:29

Well. That's pretty good. Actually, that's not how do we can do

3:31

as a real skillset. But

3:33

if you just realize. That. The one

3:35

thing I think I do very well. Thank.

3:37

God for my mom gave me this trait. Is

3:40

what the hell my to resent me? I just

3:42

go Man that's things are. It was perfect. That's. That's

3:46

where the daily basis or. It was

3:48

for now the end of year in my become something else. Also what

3:51

happens if you're like me and stream of consciousness of you might want

3:53

to talk me into it. Because

3:55

I can let loose little bit this week. Images: Gosselin I

3:57

go analysis right thing to do. What What the hell? Joe

4:00

Rogan if to charge him. As

4:03

are about productivity. An efficiency productivity of get to

4:05

the show, the audience and now he wasn't there

4:07

and thirty two seconds and gone He lost the

4:09

clip. Good ceiling. I'm

4:11

set. worry about anybody else can if you just can't

4:13

when you start working but everybody else in the planet

4:15

is when you seat and are unhappy when used to

4:17

your own thing and find the people who are your

4:20

tribe will like. Yes that's when you soar. take that

4:22

to the bank. And you will, I promise

4:24

you. So what about talk about productivity efficiencies. When

4:26

he said was at first. But.

4:29

We eight minutes for performance of the program with i'm not

4:32

keeping track today, it's over there somewhere. I'm happy to do

4:34

the math while a doctor. So

4:36

I have my face refreshing. Coaching group is a cool

4:38

people and you should be a member some day. although

4:41

I won't I'm not shaken. Everybody going to be a

4:43

certain spot. To be part of my group

4:45

cause I don't want to mess up the equilibrium

4:47

of of the group. And so you

4:49

have be certain spot but these people generally speaking have

4:51

that have done that so little bit. A personal development

4:53

work out probably a lot actually. They're. In

4:55

careers are, they're pretty settled there between twenty

4:57

eight and sixty years old. And

5:00

what they have in common is the really have built

5:02

the like. They love exhibits not quite old them. And.

5:05

So our job is to figure that out. Is. To help

5:07

them get and we do that through a process. We

5:09

use an awareness process to get there that works very

5:11

well. So. Here's from a

5:13

country coach Dan Ford. Here's what happens next

5:15

and most you'll get this backwards. Which.

5:18

Most of you do you look at the productivity of I get

5:20

more productive productive. I can be the person I want to be.

5:22

We don't do that. But. We do as

5:24

we say, okay, let's figure out what's dry me, what

5:27

the inner driving values would you really want would you

5:29

pay attention? And. Then we

5:31

stop reverse engineering. They

5:33

productivity We need to get there. Because.

5:36

The reality is what you're focused. That's when

5:38

productivity comes into play. It's not about doing

5:40

more Starbucks, but more stuff that's important to

5:42

you. So. I talk about this all the

5:45

time and be honest, I'm pretty bad and freaked

5:47

out about a sometimes. Really cool

5:49

people who really know what to talk about, have

5:51

so much going on of the life and they

5:53

they can't. Control. The stuff around them. So.

5:56

I spend way more time talking about

5:58

productivity. Than I ever thought I would it.

6:00

But it is a tool. It's a skill set is a mastery

6:02

that we have to have to get what you want. Sorts could

6:04

be couple of ideas. If any of this

6:06

relates to at all, here's a couple of

6:08

ideas about how to be more efficient: Number One

6:11

rule always. Say no to

6:13

meetings. If at all possible. And

6:15

if he has to do them, keep them short and sweet. not

6:17

know that sounds kind of generic. Let's expand and little bit. Yes,

6:20

Meetings at work? Yes,

6:23

Community meetings. It's amazing when you get a group

6:25

of people together. Even at church.

6:28

It's amazing how those people suddenly will keep you busy,

6:30

tie you up at a meeting. Your

6:34

relationships with the kids, With.

6:36

Wife with your husband. With. Any family

6:38

members. It is amazing

6:40

how meetings show up. I

6:43

like to consider facebook. A

6:46

meeting? If I jump on facebook

6:48

feed and I interact with anybody, the or I'm

6:50

officially in a meeting and I'm distracted from everything

6:52

else. If somebody pops

6:55

up on my chat my messenger. I'm

6:57

now in a meeting. Say.

6:59

No as much as possible. I

7:02

rarely type anything and response of i type more than about

7:04

ten words they come back at me again. I pick up

7:06

the phone call. But. They must be meaningless.

7:08

Do it. Look. At everything

7:10

in your life as a meeting hex blow to

7:12

the grocery store is a meeting. Control.

7:15

It. That doesn't mean order everything that has been

7:17

using to court over time. Before.

7:19

People order everything mean you're missing out on the

7:22

world. I don't have time for that. I will

7:24

have time to go leisurely shop at a grocery

7:26

store and enjoy my produce. Your

7:29

life is upside down you do in Sf. You're not

7:31

that important. I'm not either. Nobody is. Say

7:35

no to meetings as much as possible. Look at meetings

7:37

is almost anything. But. You do every single day.

7:40

Some is abandoned every. Walk

7:43

of Scotch. Ever

7:45

to. Delay paying attention

7:47

to incoming communication. It's nothing more than somebody

7:50

else to do list. I'm not the first

7:52

to say that promised all from somebody to

7:54

scold me of honest will steal stuff. Were

7:56

anointed know it right? Here

7:58

we talk about something like to. The years ago, wait a second.

8:01

I didn't see that first. I thought I said at first

8:03

it happens. But do yourself first.

8:05

Know. What do we talk about? This because? I

8:07

literally and he's in one minute Consists Name. Talk

8:10

8:13

8:17

his life helping and do personal and business

8:19

8:23

you control your email communication and.

8:26

Employees these not the he knows me really well so

8:28

he's gonna get their cities that he was. My jaw

8:30

dropped. Like I said, It's

8:34

like all his massive

8:36

success. Incredible success. And

8:38

that's the conversation. It's

8:41

back to basics. You don't need all this hacks.

8:44

Just delay. Responding.

8:47

To any incoming communication. Because

8:50

it is somebody else to do list and to yourself person

8:52

they get back to that my have for text the just

8:54

8:56

8:58

9:02

They're asking about tomorrow. Elmer Surgeries come and go.

9:04

9:08

On the back to my her Second that wait. Wait

9:11

for a. Number

9:14

three. Delay

9:16

interruptions. Will

9:19

never go away. A

9:22

meaning or daily interruptions. And that's the orders and

9:25

breath. Thought the lay some stupid. God

9:27

daily interruptions will never go away. You may as

9:29

well expect them and plan for them. So really

9:31

Soak is and your noggin right now. You

9:34

will continuously and forever be interrupted by

9:36

something. That's what

9:38

happens. If you're focused tightly,

9:40

you're not going to be interrupted because you're

9:43

focused. But. The minute you really

9:45

sad focus most likely universe as Gamal was Go

9:47

10:21

yeah but the boss of the company big Ceo is making all the

10:23

money doesn't seem do any work yak as he got up at four

10:25

o'clock in the morning did everything he a do. went to the gym,

10:27

had a personal trainer and showed up so good. Spend time and hallway

10:29

talking to you. Interrupt

10:32

his or his job. If

10:34

the your job. To suspect I'm not ever going

10:36

to go where you're not can get rid of on the minute you think

10:38

you do something's gonna happen. Florida.

10:42

Sometimes you call it a hurricane. Number

10:45

for only schedule up to fifty procedure day

10:47

at a hard ironclad rule for me, gives

10:49

more time for the unexpected. Again, those interruptions

10:52

was unexpected. Events are going come up anyway.

10:55

I when I do a lot of coaching and

10:57

spell I, I really enjoy that part of I.

10:59

Enjoy the podcast and but I do it really helping

11:01

keep on talking to one the phone it but that

11:04

except my personal time to which is fine. I

11:06

do what I love right? But. I

11:08

do so much and fifty percent of my day my

11:10

ability to focus and really help has been really tax

11:12

at that point of fact. I would even go so

11:14

far as to say you don't even have fifty percent

11:16

your day. You. Might have

11:18

twenty or thirty percent of actually really enjoy your

11:21

job. Really enjoy what you doing, really being helpful.

11:24

But I also understand the take. Fifty

11:26

percent of scheduled of your day as a as reason

11:28

also do that just as keep control of it and

11:30

the reason is so you have more time on your

11:32

side of it as he too many times. I've

11:34

been doing this job long enough now. It

11:37

just comes down to that. I talked to tens of

11:39

thousands of people again and again and again. The same

11:41

thing over and over and over again for year after

11:43

year after year. Ah,

11:47

Fifty percent today. As rule.

11:52

And that the big one that. Is

11:54

never okay. Let me give you an out on

11:56

this. Okay, no more multitasking. Finish one task before

11:58

the next. lot of way to think. This.

12:01

Year we can discuss his own. we want to be.

12:03

There are some my insides, Your first off, your mind,

12:05

your prefrontal cortex. Your executives in her brain can truly

12:07

only. Totally focused on one thing.

12:10

That's it. That's the job of the executive.

12:12

center your brain to focus on one thing

12:14

and really it's job is to focus on.

12:17

Novel items. New. Stuff.

12:20

That's. Where your focus should be So, but it can

12:22

only really do one. Yes, it can sorta kind of

12:24

manage stuff in the background, up to at some people

12:26

say four to seven additional thoughts in the background. But.

12:28

Ultimately, when you get down into one thing

12:30

that's why you can do so, multitasking is

12:32

is just it. It's. Plus

12:36

if you focus on one task can get a dog guess what you

12:38

get the check it often go to the next one. If

12:41

you do a piece of a task. if you have ten task

12:43

and you just do a little piece of each ten Tacit takes

12:45

ten times of own defense. Dollars to

12:47

it. But. Innovate. Your mind doesn't know

12:49

how to focus on more than one thing now.

12:52

For. Those you say. But scott times

12:54

have changed. We. Can do

12:56

all every say. Yep, it's good to once.

13:00

I don't care of times change, I don't care if you think you

13:02

can do more. I trust me. If you're paying

13:04

attention to ten things I give you, call. Your.

13:06

Agents to me. But here's a secret.

13:09

If you're not paying attention to me, I know how to get you

13:11

to pay attention to me and you're not gonna like I do it.

13:15

So dismissive. Auto

13:18

say no to meetings whenever possible.

13:20

Delay any incoming communication, daily interruptions

13:22

or thing. They will never go

13:24

away. Just expect them. Plan for

13:26

them. Schedule fifty percent your day,

13:28

no more than that of time

13:30

for the stuff you didn't expect

13:32

any. No more multitasking. Who

13:35

can have to come up with another? Know that

13:37

up at least be reinvented. It's time. I shall

13:39

do it. I have the qualifications I have nearly

13:41

five thousand and five. Guess I should give it

13:43

a name and Kashmir thirty upon the new name

13:45

of no more multitasking that doesn't work while finds.
