<ul><li>If we want to perform at our best, we must first and foremost manage our energy, not our time.</li><li>Optimizing our performance, health, or happiness is not about the quantity of time, but about the quality of energy.</li></ul>

Energy, Not Time, Is The Fundamental Currency Of High Performance

Humans are not meant to run at high speeds continuously for long periods of time, instead we are performing at our best when we move between expending energy and intermittently renewing energy.To do this, we need to live a rhythmic life with periods of intense activity followed by periods of rest.

The Best Way To Optimize Your Energy

You are much better off oscillating between activity and recovery than when you are living in a linear fashion with your brakes on all the time.Most of us are in a state of constant energy preservation. We’re never fully engaged or fully off, we just keep going until the clock hits 5pm.

You Either Fully Engage Or Strategically Disengage

The top players optimize the rest between each point.Tony Schwartz and Jim Loehr have found that the top players are able to lower their heart rates between points by up to twenty beats per minute while the average player’s heart rate stays the same.

Tennis Players and The Power of Rest

<ul><li>The ultradian rhythm is a cycle that repeats itself countless times during the day.</li><li>To get the most out of your working day, go full out for 90-120 minutes (fully engage) and then take a 15-20 minute break (strategically disengage).</li><li>Take 2-3 short 1-5 minute breaks during this time.</li></ul>

The Ultradian Rhythm

<ul><li>The body and mind should take  frequent breaks.</li><li>The point of these breaks is to renew your energy.</li><li>Turn these breaks into rituals.</li><li>Use rituals to refill your energy without using up any energy or willpower.</li></ul>Rituals are powerful because they insure that we use as little conscious energy as possible where it is not absolutely necessary, leaving us free to strategically focus the energy available to us in creative ways

The Benefits Of Energy Rituals

If you want to perform at your highest level, you have to optimize each of these four sources of energy:Physical: How’s your body doing? How’s your muscle to fat ratio? How does your nutrition look like?Emotional: How’s your emotional life doing? Do you feel positive emotions on a regular basis? Are you emotionally resilient? Mental: How’s your brain doing? Are you able to focus and concentrate for sustained periods of times?Spiritual: How’s your motivation doing? Do you have a purpose in life? And a clear set of values that drive your actions?

The Four Sources Of Energy

The better your nutrition, sleep, and exercise are, the more physical energy you'll have.Potential energy rituals to replenish your physical energy:<ul><li>Going for a daily walk/jog</li><li>Scheduling a weekly tennis session</li><li>Deep breathing</li><li>Daily Sleep rituals to fall asleep faster and stay asleep all night</li><li>Eating healthy all day long</li></ul>

Physical Energy

<ul><li>Positive emotions fuel performance.</li><li>The more positive emotions you're feeling on a regular basis, the more emotional energy you have and the higher your performance will be.</li><li>If you don't have access to sufficient positive emotions, ask yourself if you are devoting enough hours a week to activities purely for the pleasure and renewal they provide.</li></ul>

Emotional Energy

Concentration is mainly your attention.To perform at your best, you must be able to sustain concentration, and move flexibly between broad and narrow focus.Potential energy rituals to replenish your mental energy:<ul><li>Meditate daily for 20mins.</li><li>Commit to a daily yoga practice.</li><li>Play concentration-enhancing brain games.</li><li>Exercise.</li><li>Get enough quality sleep.</li></ul>

Mental Energy

<ul><li>Spiritual energy is the connection to a deeply held set of values and to a purpose beyond our self-interest.</li><li>It gives us the motivation to act.</li><li>To optimize our spiritual energy, we need a set of strong values and a purpose for why we do what we do.</li><li>Find out what your purpose and values are.</li></ul>

Spiritual Energy

Set an exact time and exact place for when you'll do something dramatically increases your chances of actually doing it.To manage your energy as skillfully as possible, you must rely on positive energy rituals that happen automatically without the use of any willpower on your part.The beauty of rituals:<ul><li>They happen automatically.</li><li>They don’t use up willpower.</li><li>They don’t use up conscious energy.</li></ul>

Energy Rituals In Your Life

<ul><li>We are oscillatory human beings who should live their lives as a series of sprints, not one never-ending marathon</li><li>To optimize our energy throughout the day, we should follow the ultradian rhythm and take a 15-20 minute break every 90-120 minutes</li><li>Installing energy rituals is the holy grail of optimizing your energy and performance</li></ul>

The Conclusion

Harness and optimize your energy, as it is even more important that time.

The Power of Full Engagement

In 2021, with 1.9 billion monthly active users in 150 countries, and an employee base of over 110,000, the company recorded an astonishing $58 billion in revenues.How has it been so consistently successful? An important contributing factor is its innovation strategy, which relies on a shared-service platform, or SSP.

ByteDance, the most valuable startup in the world, has shattered records for growth.

<ul><li>Bytedance uses its SSP platform differently from most companies. The company's product teams or units don't control their own operating resources.</li><li>Many common business, technology, and operating functions (among them HR and legal) are centralized and organized into corresponding teams, so that the right people can be found and flexibly deployed as needed to each new venture.</li></ul>

Specialized Teams

ByteDance has searched broadly for new product opportunities and does not hesitate to send multiple teams into the same segment.Rapid iterationIt is renowned for its speed of development and getting products to market, much of which is enabled by its SSP.Selective focusByteDance allocates key resources to a few select priorities for a few years at a time. Its first 3 years were dominated by text- and photo-content experiments relating to the success of Toutiao, its news app, while 2016 marked a pivot to a short video.After experimentation, it made growing its education business a priority.

Broad exploration

ByteDance’s SSP allows for new product teams to easily integrate best-in-class technologies and features, saving precious time and resourcesProductizing platform servicesShared services often begin as new functions but are elevated to the SSP level if use, actual or projected, increases across multiple productsOrganizational EnablersByteDance's SSP strategy - accelerate new projects by providing instant access to best-in-class technology and operations - has been so successful that one would expect many other companies to have embraced it.

Maximum-capability cross-pollination

ByteDance's strategy and operations are driven by a transparent, bi-monthly Objectives and Key Results (OKR) system that flows from the very top, aligning the priorities and actions of SSP and product teams.Explicitly flattened hierarchyByteDance eliminates the use of titles and deliberately flattened its hierarchy to just a few layers so that employees can focus on their responsibilities instead of worrying about status.

ByteDance's SSP-based innovation strategy has allowed the company to incubate rapidly and broadly and to scale efficiently, by using centralized but flexibly deployed technical and operational stacks.This strategy has served the company well in part because of the similarity among its various algorithm-driven products.

<ul><li>Two of the fastest-growing categories among the social apps were friend discovery and vertical communities</li><li>Will the future of social media be interest-based platforms that foster meaningful connection?</li></ul>

Benchmarks by Category

<ul><li>Fastest growing social apps</li><li>Friend discovery—teens turn to social apps to make and build friendships</li><li>Vertical communities—the value of going niche; social networks formed around specific interests</li><li>Combination of utility and community results in high retention and downstream monetization opportunities</li></ul>The best social apps are those with an intrinsic social component.

Behind every success is a strong foundation. So is the case behind being a failure. If you believe that you are a failure, nothing can stop you from getting there. Manifest your beliefs and keep moving bakcwards.

Believe That You Are A Failure

Nothing sounds failure like someone who loves shifting blame. It's never your fault. It's the fault of your parents, teachers, environment, and when there's nothing, it's probably the bad weather. If you're a failure, you know, it's not your responsibility to succeed. Just put it all on everyone else.

Blame Everyone But Yourself

What is the purpose of life? Nothing! Precisely. No need to wake up early, worry about a job, caring about your family. Life has no meaning. And so, you can take a grand chill on life and take a big nap as you wait for the looming death. Nothing screams failure like a couch potato. Just add a few packets of chips, and you are golden.

Let It All Drift

And in the end. It's all about inspiring others. You are being a failure so other's can look at you and say, I'm not going to be that person. You either become an inspiration by being a success or you be one by being a failure. An inspiration is an inspiration. And being a failure is easier than being a success. So choose wisely!

Be An Inspiration

To understand failure is in itself a success.

In adolescence we spend the most time with our parents, siblings, and friends; as we enter adulthood we spend more time with co-workers, partners, and children; and in our later years, we spend an increasing amount of time alone.To understand how social connections evolve throughout our lives we look at survey data on how much time people spend with others, and who that time is spent with.

Who We Spend Time with Evolves Across Our Lifetimes

We often tend to look at the amount of time spent with others as a marker of social well-being, but the quality of time we spend with others matters even more for our feelings of connection and lonelinessData shows that as we become older we tend to spend more and more time alone.However, loneliness is not the same as feeling lonely.Surveys that ask people about living arrangements, time use, and feelings of loneliness find that solitude alone is not a good predictor of loneliness.

Older And Lonelier

Older people spend a large amount of time alone and it is understandable why – time spent alone increases with age because this is when health typically deteriorates and people lose relatives and friends.We often tend to look at the amount of time spent with others as a marker of social well-being; but the quality of time spent with others, and our expectations, matter even more for our feelings of connection and loneliness.

The results showed pretty little correlation between the two. He went further to investigate whether career success led to “life success” or happiness. He discovered the relationship here was even more dismal. Hence begging the question, “Why are men so successful in business yet not happy?”

Top 13 Best Self Improvement Books to Win at Life (2022 Edition)

Self-sabotage, as it’s often termed, isn’t always obvious. It manifests in covert and unconscious ways that deliberately hinder our own success and wellbeing by undermining our personal goals and values.It’s the idea that we say yes even when we want to say no and feel the need to agree with others even when we don’t. It can also look like following the crowd, not praising yourself for your achievements or overindulging in things you know aren’t good for you.

According to Rochelle Knowles, founder of Mindful Eyes coaching, it all boils down to fear.“There is a part of our brain, the ‘critter brain’, also known as the brain stem, which doesn’t like change, which prompts our compulsion to slip into destructive patterns and essentially self-sabotage,” she tells Stylist.“When it senses change, the critter brain has the limbic system load up feelings of fear and worry, so the cortex (or ‘human brain’) has to come up with a logical reason to justify those emotions.”

Why do we self-sabotage?

In many instances, we self-sabotage because we desire acceptance. We don’t actually want to go out, but we do because our friend needs a wing-woman and she doesn’t want to go alone. We put ourselves forward for extra responsibilities at work because we know that our boss wants us to.“Our critter brain just wants to keep us safe,” Knowles continues, “so if we’re socially anxious, we’re likely to do something that makes us feel accepted again. ”So what can these behaviours look like?

Whether it’s constantly staying late to please your manager or always letting yourself be trauma-dumped on, these may seem like positive actions that prove your value as a colleague or friend but people-pleasing behaviour can actually end up contributing to self-sabotage.“As humans, we want to be accepted and be part of the pack,” Knowles explains. “If you want a job promotion that your friend also wants, your need to be liked and accepted may sabotage you so that you don’t go for it and push her forward for it instead.”

You fail to set boundaries

We’re all guilty of putting off important tasks from time to time, but procrastination can also be a way of not taking responsibility for your actions and avoiding rejection.

You procrastinate extensively

When an individual is self-sabotaging, their internal narrative is overwhelmingly one of “I can’t do this,” or “I don’t deserve that.” Believing you’re not good enough – for your partner, in your job or any other realm of your life – reinforces the feelings of worthlessness or incompetence that can, if left unchecked, lead towards a sense of self-hatred.

You regularly experience imposter syndrome

There’s a big difference between being realistic about your chances of something happening and constantly catastrophising that nothing is going to go your way.Not only does it reinforce negative behaviours that eat away at your potential for success, feeling like a “failure” or “disappointment” allows guilt and frustration to spiral.Those who self-sabotage are likely to use things like “I’ll probably fail anyway” as an excuse not to try and therefore avoid any potential rejection or embarrassment.

You’re always expecting the worst

Those who are in the throes of self-sabotage are often actively looking for and picking out not just their own faults, but the faults of others.Whether it’s gnawing self-doubt or a praise complex linked to your childhood conditioning, the idea of putting yourself down before someone else is able to is both a protective instinct and a survival reflex.

You’re overly critical of yourself and your work

Knowles believes that every self-sabotaging behaviour has a positive intention. “But it’s about taking a moment to think: ‘Is this the right action for me?’ ‘Is what I’m doing self-supporting?’” she explains.She suggests using prompts such as “What do I really want for myself?” and “What did I do that I didn’t actually want to do?” to help begin to unpick the coping mechanisms we’ve learned but are perhaps no longer serving us.

How to overcome self-sabotage

Once you have a better understanding of what patterns of thinking cause those emotions, you can begin to challenge them with positive self-talk, affirmations and self-supporting behaviours.“Remember that you’re the one in control, and you’re the one that’s got to be ultimately accountable,” Knowles reminds us.

From the workplace to your relationships, how to spot even the most subtle signs of self-sabotage. 5 signs you're self-sabotaging without realising, according to a holistic coach.

The desire for meaningful change can make us feel excited and overwhelmed. A recent survey about stress and decision-making during the pandemic show we have an entire generation of adults longing to make a meaningful change but feeling too overwhelmed to even choose something to make for dinner. We want to make a positive change but feel too bewildered to navigate ourselves there. The single biggest indicator of long term, high impact success is to be driven by purpose.

Driven by purpose

Define for yourself what success means to you. When you have quantified your purpose, values, and goals, you gain power, clarity and energy. An effective mission statement answers the following questions:<ul><li>Who do you want to serve and inspire?</li><li>What do you want to contribute and provide them?</li><li>How will you accomplish it?</li></ul> Put the answers into a single sentence you can use as a mantra.

How to recognise opportunities

Use your mission statement daily to: <ul><li>Audit how your time, resources, and influence are spent to ensure they are correlated.</li><li>Identify areas you need to reinvest and reinvent.</li><li>Recognize what expertise you want to develop, what projects you want to seek out, what teammates you need, and what resources and permissions you need to gather.</li></ul>

Own your mission statement

When you have an action plan, it's time to get to work. Instead of being reactionary, think about being purposeful and proactive. <ul><li>Gather your key stakeholders; your manager, mentors and life partner to create support and accountability.</li><li>Create a roadmap for building your reputation, skills and experience to get you noticed and open doors to new opportunities.</li><li>Communicate a single focus for your direct reports and organisation, so everyone knows how to work towards a common goal. Hire and incentivize your employees in the same way.</li></ul>

Implement your plan

Use this simple formula to help you recognise opportunities and implement new habits.

How to calculate your personal ROI (and why you should)

This book provides a great conversation for those in need of the mental motivation provided by this author. Filled with advice and personal exercises to help you unstick yourself from your self-sabotaging beliefs.

The Big Snooze will do everything it can to stop you from changing and growing, especially since you're attempting to obliterate the very identity that you and everyone else has come to know as 'you'.

If you are depressed, you are living in the past. If you are anxious, you are living in the future. If you are at peace, you are living in the present.

If you want to live a life you've never lived, you have to do things you've never done.

Most people are living an illusion based on someone else's beliefs.

Wanting to be someone else is a waste of the person you are.

What other people think of you has nothing to do with you and everything to do with them.

We only get to be in our bodies for a limited time, why not celebrate the journey instead of merely riding it out until its over?

Faith is having the audacity to believe in the not yet seen.

Forgiving isn't about being nice to them, its about being nice to yourself.

If you're serious about changing your life, you will find a way.If you're not, you'll find an excuse.

I have lived a long life and had many troubles, most of which never happened.

Deciding is freedom.Indecision is torture.

One of the best things you can do to improve the world is to improve yourself.

An epiphany is a visceral understanding of something you already know.
