- 4 Steps to HyperFocus
- Substract
- Productivity it's substractive not additive, in order to be productive you have to substract your distractions, and identify what are the obstacles for you to be productive
- It can be your phone, a social media, toxic people
- Add
- Now that you removed your blockers you can start adding something, this are the 4 pilars of productivity
- Clarity
- Your system has to give you clarity, to see obstacles that are in the way to achieve your goal
- Prioritization
- Once you have the clarity, you need to prioritize that task that is in the way, because is your bottleneck
- You prioritize the action that helps you solve the problem that is getting in the way for your goal
- Time Management
- There are two ways, opt in and opt out, opt in is usually the more common, where you schedule a time in the future, almost as if you are making space for for the tasks
- Opt out is the opposite, when you identify a high priority task you ask: "what's stopping me to do it right now?" if there's nothing that is stopping you, do it
- Only schedule a time for it if you cannot do it right now, nor in a very near future
- when you schedule something do it with a implementation intention "I'm gonna do this, tomorrow at 6 pm, in my desk, and this will be this way"
- The time management get's easier when you do a good job at substracting
- Execution
- Execution is not just set a timer, and do the thing
- Is about self talk, the way you talk to yourself, if you cannot sit and do the tasks, it may be because you're afraid of failure, so even if you have all the previous steps, you procrastinate
- The way to defy that negative self talk is whit logic
- What happens if I fail? would be the end of the world?, and what happens if succeed? will I feel better?
- In the case I fail, how much time would I need to try a second time? and how much for a third time if I need it?
- Often in Space X, they try to intentionally fail, that way they are going to iterate on that, and grow faster
- Divide
- You need to divide certain times on the day where you do different aspects of the system
- Multiply
- Every single day, do the same thing, follow your system, make the time management, give youself clarity, practice self talk
- And then this will be become natural to you
