The Four Focuses of History Makers

  1. Capitalization IQ: 'Natural talent is not what defines great individuals. Instead, it is the extent of that potential that they capitalize on through consistency and relentlessness.'
  2. Freedom from Distraction: ‘An addiction to distraction is the death of your creative production.’
  3. Personal Mastery Practice: 'Your influence in the world mirrors the glory, nobility, vitality, and luminosity you’ve accessed in yourself.' Focus on your Four Interior Empires.
  4. Day Stacking: 'As you live each day, so you craft your life. We all are so focused on pursuing our futures that we generally ignore the exceedingly important value of a single day. And yet what we are doing today is creating our future.'

The Five Scientific Truths Behind Excellent Habits

  1. World-class willpower isn’t an inherent strength; it is a skill developed through relentless practice.
  2. Personal discipline is a muscle. The more you stretch it, the stronger it gets.
  3. Like other muscles, willpower weakens when tired. Therefore, recovery is necessary for the expression of mastery and to manage decision fatigue.
  4. Installing any virtuous habits follows a distinct four-part pattern for automation of the routine.
  5. Increasing self-control in one area of your life should elevate self-control in all areas of your life.

  1. Destruction Phase: Here your old habit gets destroyed. It is the hardest part. You need most of your willpower in this phase.
  2. Installation Phase: In this phase installation of a new habit takes place. Here you should remember why you are going to build this habit.
  3. Integration Phase: Here the habit gets integrated with your daily life 

After 66 days the habit will be automated.

Shankul Varada

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

Ashley Anthony

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Sean Green

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

Ghazala Begum

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!

Jamyson Haug
