founder of Asian Efficiency where we help

people become more productive at work and

0:50

then life and today it is when

0:52

0:54

is time for wasn't Wednesday. And.

0:56

Dad This is where you are going

0:59

to get actual productivity advice and less

1:01

than ten minutes. Now. Today

1:03

we are exploring a intriguing

1:05

concept from Japan known as

1:07

Show Ship. Which. Roughly

1:09

translates to beginners mind and I'll

1:12

guide you through how this philosophy.

1:14

Can. Reshape your approach to

1:16

productivity and work. Now

1:18

when I first began my journey

1:20

into productivity, I remember feeling quite

1:22

overwhelmed, much like being in a

1:25

dense force were every tree looks

1:27

the same. But. One day

1:29

or offers was closed due to

1:31

a construction. And. I just came

1:33

back from a three day weekend so I

1:35

went to Starbucks with my laptop. To. Work

1:37

from there. I was kind of

1:39

like out of my regular routine and when I

1:41

started working I approach all of the challenges we

1:43

had at work. With. A new set

1:46

of ice. It was as if I were

1:48

seen them for the first time. And

1:50

this shift and perspective. Was.

1:52

Like finding a new path in that

1:55

familiar force and remember trying to figure

1:57

out how to merge two customer list

1:59

into ones. It was

2:01

a major project that had a

2:03

lot of tricky challenges, but when

2:06

I approached the problem at Starbucks

2:08

with a new perspective, the solution

2:10

came to me easily. Shoshan

2:13

or the beginner's mind is about approaching

2:15

life with curiosity and

2:17

openness free from preconceptions

2:19

and prejudice. Imagine

2:21

a child experiencing snow for the first

2:24

time. Fear awe

2:26

and wonder, the eagerness to

2:28

explore, that's Shoshan. When

2:30

I came back home, I was journaling later

2:32

that night about the whole experience and it

2:34

crystallized in my head how having

2:37

a childlike perspective gave

2:39

me the solution instantly. Then

2:41

I remembered watching a documentary about Karate and how

2:43

the teacher was talking about having a beginner's mind

2:45

to learning how to fight and he

2:47

referenced the concept of Shoshan. Then

2:51

it all clicked in my head. Perhaps

2:53

anytime I have a major challenge in front of me,

2:56

if I tried approaching it with the beginner's

2:58

mind, I could see the

3:00

solution faster and discover innovative ideas,

3:03

just like how I did that with the CRM project.

3:06

Just like how a seasoned chef might

3:08

experiment with a familiar recipe, bringing a

3:10

sense of curiosity to try new ingredients,

3:13

by adopting a beginner's mindset, they

3:16

might discover a unique flavor

3:18

combination that revolutionizes a classic

3:20

dish. For example,

3:22

in our work at AE, adopting

3:24

Shoshan means looking at problems, projects,

3:27

and even routine tasks with fresh

3:29

eyes. It means asking questions,

3:31

being open to new ideas, and

3:34

being willing to let go of long-held

3:36

beliefs and best practices. It's about

3:38

rekindling the curiosity and eagerness we had

3:40

when we first started our careers and

3:43

undertook a new project. I

3:45

see this all the time when someone new joins

3:47

the company and takes over a routine task that

3:49

someone else used to do, and

3:51

then asks us all these questions and challenges

3:53

us how We did things a

3:55

certain way, only for us to realize that we did

3:58

it inefficiently. Having

4:00

that experience any time you're prose challenges

4:02

and away you work. It.

4:04

Would literally evolve everything that you

4:06

do. So. How

4:08

do we apply shows in two or

4:11

daily productivity. So. What?

4:13

I recommend you Do is my start.

4:16

Challenging You are written. Tomorrow

4:18

when you begin a task or

4:20

even today. Ask. Yourself. How.

4:22

Would I approach this if it were my

4:25

first time? Look. For one

4:27

aspect of your work to view with

4:29

a fresh set of ice. For.

4:31

Example: if you run a recurring meeting.

4:34

Try. Something new and different to make

4:36

the meeting more efficient. Challenge.

4:38

Yourself and why you run that meeting

4:40

in particular one. If.

4:42

You have a task that you do every day or

4:44

every week. Start. From scratch

4:46

and approach it. Is if he were

4:49

going to do it for the first time. You'll.

4:51

Likely find a new way to make a

4:53

more efficient rather than going through the motions.

4:56

Or. If you have a major challenge at work right

4:58

now. Go. Somewhere else and approach that

5:00

sounds as if he knew nothing about it.

5:03

Ask. Questions Be curious.

5:06

And. Even as someone who knows nothing about it

5:08

what they would. Do. Remember

5:10

shows and isn't about discarding.

5:13

Experience is about using that

5:15

experience as a base for

5:17

further exploration, not as a

5:19

constraint. Is. About continuous

5:21

learning and growth The open

5:23

to new possibilities. So. I

5:25

encourage you to embrace chosen deceit

5:28

approach one tasked with a mindset

5:30

of a beginner. Be. Curious,

5:32

ask questions, And. Be

5:35

open to learning and experimenting. You.

5:37

Might be surprised at the innovation in efficiency

5:39

it brings to your work. Thanks.

5:42

Again for joining me on the

5:44

productivity show Embrace to Beginners Minds.

5:46

And here's to finding new pass

5:48

in a familiar force. Until next

5:51

time, say productive and curious.
