The 21-Day Mental Diet
- Arise each morning 2 hours before you have to be somewhere and invest the 1st hour in yourself and your mind
- Before turning on television/computer, read something motivation, inspirational, or educational (30-60 minutes)
- Write down top 10-15 goals in the present tense
- Write down a list of everything you need to do that day
- Order it by priorities
- Resist temptation of clearing up small things first
- Plunge into a big/important task
- Begin immediately to work on most valuable and important task
- Resolve to focus independently on the one task until it is complete
- Once you finish the one major/big task first thing in the morning in the golden hour, you will receive a surge of energy, happiness, and confidence, which releases endorphins in your brain that propels you into other tasks and makes you more productive for the rest of the day → phenomenon called FLOW that allow you to perform at a higher level
- When you drive, listen to educational podcasts
- Average person drives 500 hours in their car each year
- That equates 1-2 classes in a leading university, you can be an expert
- Develop a sense of urgency: move fast, pick up the pace
- Give you more energy
- Faster → more you get done → better you feel
- More in-control of your life
