Consider what you're good at

Consider what you're good at

Take the time to explore and figure out the contribution you can make. Then go big in it.

If you don't know what you're good at, use inversion. List all the things you don't like to do. Ask what you're passionate about or what you'd be interested in learning how to do.

For example, if you want to be a writer, your first article doesn't have to be great. Just start by publishing it and then receive feedback. You can always go back and improve your article.

Write a to-do list every day

Write a to-do list every day

What was important yesterday, may not be important today.

Always ask:

  • Who am I?
  • Why am I here?

Without asking those questions, the stuff on your to-do list could be entirely wrong.

The busyness trap

The busyness trap

High performing people are highly focused, and that leads to success. That success produces options and opportunities.

But if you are not careful, it can undermine the things that led to success in the first place. You fall into the undisciplined quest for more. Now you’re...

Find what you should be doing

Find what you should be doing

List all your tasks of importance on a scale from 0-100. Then question or eliminate anything that's under a 90.

When you do tasks below 90, you inevitably have to make a trade-off.

Protect your ability to prioritise

You have to ignore internal and external voices that want you to prioritise the nonessential.

Not every goal is necessarily worthwhile.  However, serving others is a great and essential task. When we step out to serve somebody else, the non-essential stuff ...

Life advice

Admit mistakes. It can be difficult to admit to yourself that you were wrong, but it is an important first step.

Discipline leads to success. You don't become successful, and then you become disciplined. When you become disciplined, success will follow.

Being busy isn't an achievement

Just because someone is busier than you doesn't mean that they are more important.

Instead, only do what's essential. Ask yourself what your mission is? What did you come to do? Once you've identified what's essential, you won't fear FOMO. You'll start enjoying JOMO.

No big meetings

No big meetings

Don't hold large meetings, except if they are providing value to everyone. Then keep the meeting short.

A typical meeting should involve no more than 4 - 6 people. Before you send out your next invite list ask: Who on this list will add (or receive) the most value? Is there anyone who do...

Get clear on your negotiation goals

There are 3 key questions you should ask yourself:

  • What's the best possible outcome
  • What's your bottom line? This refers to the least acceptable offer. If you're the seller, what's the lowest offer you'd be willing to accept? And if you're the buyer,...

Do many things

It's better to have lots of options and interests than none at all. 

Make a list of all the things you're interested in, pick two to focus on first and then get busy. If you realize it's not what you thought it would be, scratch it off of your list and move on.

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.

samz905

Don’t look further if you love learning new things. A refreshing concept that provides quick ideas for busy thought leaders.

Sean Green

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

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!

Jamyson Haug

Great for quick bits of information and interesting ideas around whatever topics you are interested in. Visually, it looks great as well.

Laetitia Berton

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!

Giovanna Scalzone

Brilliant. It feels fresh and encouraging. So many interesting pieces of information that are just enough to absorb and apply. So happy I found this.

Ghazala Begum

Even five minutes a day will improve your thinking. I've come across new ideas and learnt to improve existing ways to become more motivated, confident and happier.
