? 1 IDEA FROM ME If you’re like most people, your phone is the biggest distractor in your life. To boost focus and productivity you need to rule your phone instead of having your phone rule you. Below are 3 highly practical ways to reduce phone distractions and take back control over your attention. 1. Turn off all notifications There is no reason to give your phone more incentive for you to check it relentlessly. Most of us are already addicted and you’re going to check the apps you care about anyway. Why then, do you allow yourself to be distracted by dings and vibrations repeatedly? No one ..read more

Today, I’ll give you 2 practical things you can do to wake up more peacefully. Have you ever watched a movie or show where someone wakes up to an alarm that sounds the same as yours? Even if it was the sound of an alarm clock you used decades ago, you still feel this sense of dread come over you as soon as you hear it. Today, many people use their phones to wake up, so you can be at a restaurant and be triggered by the table next to you ..read more

For about two years now I have been doing 3 things every night to make both of those desires a reality. Below is what they are and how you can implement them too. 1. Get ready for bed before it's time for bed On a typical night at home, right after dinner I floss my teeth, take out my contacts, change my clothes, pick out my clothes for the next, and make my lunch.

If you’re miserable, you’ll quit (often before you experience any real progress). At the same time, you must define what fun is for you. I remember one day as a kid playing a game of soccer with a small ball and two mini-goals on the driveway with one of my friends. He kept coming up to my goal to try and score. I stayed in front of the goal and whenever I got the ball just kicked it from my goal to his open goal and often sc ..read more

Make it easy. If you want to get better at an instrument, make it a goal to only practice 10 minutes a day If you want to build muscle, make it a goal to only do 5 push-ups every day If you want to deepen your faith, make it a goal to only read one chapter of the Bible a day Will any of those things dramatically change your life?

To follow a poor decision or a lapse in judgment with a foolish reaction means you’ve now lost not once, but twice. This makes course correction even harder. After all, you’ve already blown it multiple times so why not just give up and start over another some other time? The better course of action is to assess the error and ask yourself, “Given what just happened, what is the best next action I can take?” I ate something that g ..read more

The best way is to keep showing up. The more you try, your odds increase: The more you practice piano, the better you’ll be able to play the song The more you avoid processed foods, the more weight you can lose and the better you’ll feel The more pictures you take, the better chance you have one you’ll like The key is not giving up.

? 1 IDEA FROM ME The primary reason we don’t do things is not because we don’t have enough time. Instead, it is because of one of two reasons: I don’t have enough energy I’m not actually interested in doing this Rather than trying to justify our lack of accomplishment in a particular area (you haven’t read enough, or built a certain skill, or gotten healthier in a certain area), it is better to be honest about what is going on. If you don’t have enough energy, are you willing to change your lifestyle or certain inputs to make it happen? Is it really that you don’t have enough time, or th ..read more
