039: Win Your Day (Do The Work)

“Wake up early. Limit interruptions. Make a little progress everyday. Say no (a lot). Learn from your mistakes. Pick yourself back up when you slip. Waste no time measuring yourself against other people.” – Ryan HolidayI kick off the conversation by discussing the philosophy of 'winning the day,' and the art of saying no. I talk about it all the time but, small consistent steps towards your goals and limiting outside interruptions is how you make incremental progressI talk about the myth of multitasking head-on and reveal why honing in on one task at a time is the real ticket to productivity. Tracking progress is crucial and there are surprising benefits of taking intentional breaks. Learn the importance of celebrating small victories and why sometimes, the most productive thing you can do is to 'take it easy.'I introduce the concept of 'extreme ownership' again, and why keeping your ego in check is crucial for progress. Reframing mistakes as opportunities for growth and why measuring ourselves against others can be harmful rather than helpful. Lastly, I dive into the power of gratitude and realize that using gratitude can serve as a potent reminder to appreciate our unique journeys.
