    Summary: - Bring your ideal life into the now at a smaller scale - Each day do 3 things: - Educate yourself in the afternoon - Empty your mind before bed (Journal, plan, meditate) - Focus on creative work in the morning - Have a ladder of priorities from 1 (most creative, focused) down to 4 (maintenance, shallow task). Execute in that order in 45-90 min time sessions with breaks - If you expose yourself to people too early thinking it will just take a few seconds, it will actually continue to pop up and split your focus. For me, the most challenging is: - to respect the ladder order - to work with time blocks (Pomodoro-like) - Once I'm into something (read, write, build, website, social media), I can get lost for 3 hours at the detriment of other tasks - Empty my mind before bed (so tempting to keep being busy) - Reflect on my day/week to improve on

    This reminded me of a quote I heard a few years ago that obviously stuck, because I usually forget things quickly. "Build your own dreams or someone will hire you to build theirs." It also reminded me of a short story that illustrates the same thing. A business owner gathers his employees and says, "We had a really good year this year. Because of all of your hard work I was able to buy this Ferrari. If each of you work even harder next year, I'll be able to buy another one." I live near John Deere in Iowa. They just announced a new tractor model they will produce this year and it will be over a million dollars. Then two days ago they also announced about 320 indefinite layoffs. This is after over 1000 layoffs a few years ago, positions that were never rehired. I teach my kids that there is zero loyalty from these situations. When profits are down and they don't need your work you are just a number to these people. When profits are up and they need your mandatory overtime and you're on salary, you are just a number to these people.

    Three activities to pursue our goals full force: 1. Fill your mind. Education, ideas, and novel resources you can apply toward your goals. Leads to intrinsic motivation, 2. Empty your mind. Free the thoughts that are trapped inside, don’t feel the need to remember everything. Write it down. 3. Use your mind. Find a vehicle to focus your efforts. With ideas and the clarity you gain from the previous activities to execute and build your ideal future. Appreciate the wealth of knowledge Dan. I’ll strive to implement all three activities again since I’m catching myself slipping.

    What stuck out most to me here was ‘inviting entropy’ by checking messages during work/creative time. It shows how the mind can throw you off even when you don’t realize it. Looking at messages at the wrong time can really shape your day and how you prioritize events even if you don’t respond immediately. You may have ignored something consciously, but subconsciously you’re already being guided by it. Great concept you’ve exposed there, thanks!

For me that means I get up at 3:30am, get to gym, meditate and journal, and spend 2 hours writing for my biz, before I start my work day. Been doing this everyday for about 3weeks. Love it as I feel so accomplished by end of day. 2. I love how you break down - creativity, productivity, and experimenting. 3. This is exactly the type of content young people need to be listening to feel better about life and getting clear direction. 👏🎉

    The first lesson, about living your ideal life in a smaller scale, really stuck with me. I always push out my dream to write a blog- because there will come a time when I dedicate my focus into that activity. But, the reality is whenever I attempt to write, I can't focus for more than an hour. It really takes small steps, gradually built-up, to create a routine that we can call our ideal life :).

  • @SamuelFrancessco
    @SamuelFrancessco Жыл бұрын

    Bring your ideal future into your present 00:00 Bring your ideal future into the present by performing the same actions that you would in your ideal lifestyle, but on a much smaller scale. Start small and slowly increase over the years until you can sustain the lifestyle you want. Don't wait to put off what you're already going to be doing. If you're not already doing those things, then it's going to be much more difficult when you decide to finally start doing them. Dissect what actions you should be taking 01:19 Dissect your ideal future and figure out what actions you should be taking. Start working on the things that will bring you closer to your ideal future. Start small and figure out what you don't want, which will act as a self-corrective compass to figuring out what you actually do want. Cultivate passion along the way by discovering things you wouldn't have without direct experience. Invest mental energy in a goal 03:24 When you bring your actions from your ideal future into the present and start executing on them, you begin to invest mental energy in a goal. The more you do it, the more you feel obligated to do it, and that's how you build momentum and passion. You sustain a passionate, fulfilling, and momentum full life. The law of conceptual survival 04:42 The law of conceptual survival is the human phenomenon where our survival instincts have transcended the physical realm and are included in the mental. We work to survive ideas, concepts, and beliefs that form our sense of self. If you identify or create a goal that forms your perspective and how you view the world and start acting in alignment with it, you start to slowly build that identity. View life from the lens of your future self 05:25 View your daily situations from the lens of your future self or from the lens of the goal that you're working towards. You're going to see life in a completely different light. You're going to be able to filter what people say so you can spot the things that actually help you move towards that goal. Conclusion 06:08 If you aren't working towards your ideal future, you're working towards someone else's. Create your own goal and start to invest energy in it. Importance of Identity 06:17 "Identity" refers to the labels assigned to us by society like job titles, student status, etc. When we invest our energy into these identities, our actions tend to follow that belief, whether we're conscious of it or not. We need to be aware of the identities we're investing in to make sure they align with our goals. Holistic Daily Routine 06:39 We need to have a holistic daily routine that includes different activities that serve different purposes. Afternoons should be dedicated to learning and socialization, filling our brains with books and new ideas. We should empty our brains before bed with journaling, planning, and meditation. Mornings should be dedicated to creation output and focus, using our brains to execute and refine our ideas. We need dedicated time every single day for creativity, productivity, and experimentation. Productivity vs. Experimentation 07:01 We need a mixture of productivity and experimentation to achieve our goals. It can't only be about productivity without experimentation and being able to refine along the way. We need to dedicate time every day to work on our goals, even if it's just 15-30 minutes to start. If we don't invest time in creating our future, we won't create it. Monkey in a Cubicle 08:01 Our psyches aren't wired for modern life, especially not for being under fluorescent lights and sitting in a cubicle. We need to hunt for novel dopamine sources or meaningful dopamine through discoveries and creativity to feel fulfilled. If modern life has become normal to us, we're trapped in The Matrix and enslaved to routine. Three Activities to Pursue Goals 09:11 We need three activities to pursue our goals: one that fills our minds with education and ideas, one that empties our minds, and one that uses our minds to focus our efforts. Deep work is how we build out our dreams in record time. Deep work is a necessity in a world of notifications and overwhelm. Priority Ladder 11:27 The priority ladder is a way of prioritizing tasks based on their level of challenge and potential for distraction. Priority One should be devoted to building out our vision through a project and should be done first thing in the morning. Priority Four is for maintenance tasks like responding to emails and messages and is more open to distractions. Conclusion 12:55 We should always have one project we're working on to build our lives around. Our daily routine should be holistic and include different activities that serve different purposes. Deep work is a necessity in a world of distractions and notifications, and we should prioritize it through the priority ladder. Focused Work Time Blocks 12:57 One hour a day is reserved for focused work. This hour is used to focus on the levers that will lead to creating your vision for the future. For beginners, this could mean starting a social media brand or taking a writing or digital economics course. This hour is where you are focusing your efforts on the most important tasks. Perception Threshold 13:22 At the beginning, it's very difficult to focus for an hour, but it slowly becomes more pleasurable with time. Your mind perceives the difficulty to be more than it actually is. Once you hit a breakthrough, you're able to systemize things and it flows a lot smoother. You can then fit so much more into that one hour. Priority Time Blocks 13:48 Your first hour of focused work isn't going to be that focused. You have to stick it out and refine your system with time. Once you start seeing results from that first hour of work, then you move that into the second priority time block. The second priority time block is where your lever-moving tasks go. For example, replying on social media or creating content. Building a Service or Product 14:42 After starting a social media brand, the next step is to start building a service or product. Once you start seeing results with that, it becomes a lot more efficient to keep up with. Then you're going to start reaching out to people and building out a funnel or something else. All of these things slowly build on each other over time. Third Time Block 15:07 The third time block is also for lever-moving tasks or creative meaningful tasks. This is where you work on the things that you don't want to outsource. For example, writing is something that Dan Koe doesn't want to outsource. Fourth Time Block 15:40 Priority four is for maintenance tasks such as checking and responding to messages and emails. This is where you expose yourself to people. It's important to push back all of the conversational and maintenance tasks to the fourth priority. Time Blocks 16:45 Dan Koe structures his time blocks for each priority anywhere from 45 to 90 minutes long. He takes breaks in between to make breakfast or lunch and goes on a 30 to 40-minute walk while listening to something in his ears. Experimentation 17:14 The entire joy of all this comes through experimentation. Create a way that you like doing and just test different techniques. Pull some of the good things from it and put them into your own day. Slowly refine that over time until you live a completely self-made lifestyle.

Phase 1: I start my morning with a meditation. 2 hour morning focus. Start meetings by 10 am. Lunch Break by 12. Push for another 2 hours with automated tasks. Phase 2: Break to reset. Get into the creatives. Dinner. Then self-educate before my night routine. Look forwards to experiment how to restructure into deep work.

    Not using my phone in the morning is something i never pay attention to but through this video, i acknowledged the fact that how it's shifting my focus on unusual things. I am definetly going to stop using my smartphone in the morning. Thank you for creating this insightful video , i really loved how wonderfully explained everything. My favourite part of the video was when you were telling us how to schedule tasks to work on productivity, creativity and experimentation.

    I really needed this today. Was starting to feel so bland. Constantly working at my job and being good at it, but knowing it's all going to end someday and I'll walk away with what? Really having to fight a lot of fatigue to get in my goals each day and telling myself it's so worth it. 🙏

    Dan, I've had two enlightening moments in the past few months. I'm a college student working full-time for someone while in the process of forming my own business. The point you made about no conversations + notifications stuck out to me mostly because my job is to be on the phone from 7a-4p 5 days a week and I'm still experimenting with how to effectively 'reset' my brain to have the energy to focus on my actual deep work (through walks as you'd mentioned, naps, and guitar) As I write this I have this vivid vision where my day is filled with freedom and I'm working entirely for myself; when that day comes I won't forget how you, Simon Sinek, and Naval Ravikant, Robert Greene, and Ryan Holiday got me there.

    What stuck out to me was the idea of inviting entropy. I have a had a practical experience of how NOT checking my phone or the external world earlier in my day helps me focus. In a another video where you spoke about 12 rules/parts to changing or creating your life or business you spoke about the importance of experimentation because of how it makes YOU find YOUR way. I think not checking your phone early not only helps you focus, but helps you trust whatever you discover as you experiment and allows the courage required to grow in and of itself.

    This is great! After almost 20 yrs in corporate life, I am finally starting a business, in an area I have been passionate about for a long time. I've never had the courage to start before. Starting a business is overwhelming, especially when someone has no experience in it. So seeing this video now is very helpful. I'm going to start with priority 1 for a few days to see how it will work. I will deep focus on getting my target market right and setting up a business plan. I believe if I get those two right, it will set up the business well. Thank you for this insightful video!

    I loved the part when you said that one should prioritize the new tasks, systematize that, move it down and then prioritize next new task. It makes so much sense. Otherwise it's easy to start with something easy and just keep postponing that new website, new product, that media kit design or whatever you need to create that doesn't have a clear process yet. Thanks for that! 🙏 It's about moving the needle forward, not doing as many comfortable tasks as possible.

Super valuable and helpful! I appreciate your contribution.

    This is really inspiring! I felt I needed to leave my full time job last year to work independently so I could have a more flexible schedule, just so I could do this type of deep work. It's been a struggle, but so rewarding! I usually start my day at 9am and see clients for 3-4 hours a day, six days a week. Then I spend the rest of my day in movement (exercise), study, spiritual practices and housework. I've never been happier and can't imagine going back to that horrible 9-5 grind! This video is gold!

    Thank you for putting into words the way I have flexed my lifestyle over time, in small ways to create the bigger picture of my perfect future. ( I.e., eat left handed or start stretching 10 min…and that lead me into a friend inviting me to do yoga, writing a grateful list - it turned me into a complete positive thinker after 10 years, no microwave - I’m a better cook, and no TV most of my life has changed my frame of perspective to be creative and expressive instead of just absorbing and expecting to get entertained by my environment.

Absolute bulletproof way to focus on what actually matters in making a dream attainable.
