"The best way to predict the future is to create it."

How to Apply It: Make small decisions that align with your big goals. For example, if you’re working out, decide to make exercise a choice, not a chore. Choose activities you enjoy or that bring you closer to your goals, like healthier food options. This helps you stay motivated.

Motivation Through Choice

How to Apply It: If you work with others, create an environment where everyone feels heard.Ask for feedback, share your ideas openly, and encourage others to do the same.This can be as simple as being open to suggestions in meetings or praising someone’s input, making the team more innovative and productive.

Team Psychological Safety

How to Apply It: When you’re working on something, take regular breaks to step back and see the bigger picture.For instance, if you’re deep in a project, take a few minutes to think about how it fits into your long-term goals.This keeps you from getting stuck in a narrow focus and helps you think more creatively.

Cognitive Tunneling Awareness

How to Apply It: Set clear, realistic goals (like finishing a project in a week) but also challenge yourself with bigger, long-term goals (like aiming for a promotion or running a marathon).Use SMART goals for daily tasks and stretch goals to push your limits. This combination keeps you on track while inspiring you to do more.

SMART + Stretch Goals

"Without data, you're just another person with an opinion."

How to Apply It: Instead of just reading or listening to information, engage with it actively.For example, if you’re learning something new, try creating diagrams or teaching the concept to a friend. This active engagement helps the information stick and boosts your learning.

Data Engagement Techniques

How to Apply It: When making decisions, think about all possible outcomes and how likely they are.For instance, if you’re deciding between two job offers, consider not just the obvious pros and cons but also how likely you are to enjoy each role.This helps you make smarter, more informed decisions.

Probabilistic Thinking

How to Apply It: Look for ways to combine existing ideas in creative ways.If you’re working on a project, try mixing ideas from different fields or hobbies you have.For example, if you’re a photographer, consider how technology trends might affect your art.Innovation often comes from blending old ideas in new ways.

Innovation Through Recombination

How to Apply It: If you manage a team or work in a group, give people more freedom to make decisions.Encourage experimentation by testing small changes before making bigger decisions.This creates a more flexible environment and speeds up problem-solving, helping you reach solutions faster.

Lean Management Principles

How to Apply It: Focus on what matters most in your day. Use techniques like setting specific times for different tasks (like deep work for 90 minutes), or use a to-do list to manage distractions.This ensures your attention stays on high-priority tasks instead of getting sidetracked by small, less important things.

Attention Management

"The stories we tell ourselves become the stories we live."

How to Apply It: Create stories in your mind to make sense of your life and decisions.When you face a challenge, think of it as part of your personal story. How you overcame it and what you learned.This helps you remember important lessons and gives you clarity when making decisions in the future.

10 Secrets to Becoming Smarter, Faster, and Better at Anything!

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The author of The Power of Habit and “master of the life hack” (GQ) explores the fascinating science of productivity and offers real-world takeaways to apply your life, whether you’re chasing peak productivity or simply trying to get back on track. “Duhigg melds cutting-edge science, deep reporting, and wide-ranging stories to give us a fuller, more human way of thinking about how productivity actually happens.”—Susan Cain, author of Quiet   In The Power of Habit, Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist Charles Duhigg explained why we do what we do. In Smarter Faster Better, he applies the same relentless curiosity and rich storytelling to how we can improve at the things we do.    At the core of Smarter Faster Better are eight key concepts—from motivation and goal setting to focus and decision making—that explain why some people and companies get so much done. Drawing on the latest findings in neuroscience, psychology, and behavioral economics—as well as the experiences of CEOs, educational reformers, four-star generals, FBI agents, airplane pilots, and Broadway songwriters—this book reveals that the most productive people, companies, and organizations don’t merely act differently. They view the world, and their choices, in profoundly different ways.   Smarter Faster Better is a story-filled exploration of the science of productivity, one that can help us learn to succeed with less stress and struggle—and become smarter, faster, and better at everything we do.

Charles Duhigg is an American journalist and non-fiction author. He was a reporter for The New York Times, currently writes for The New Yorker Magazine and is the author of two books on habits and productivity, titled The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business and Smarter Faster Better.

Charles Duhigg

Smarter Faster Better

“We live in an age in which the old values have become meaningless, and we no longer know what to do with our lives. We are constantly seeking for security in a world that is full of uncertainty.”

Our modern world is full of stress and worry. People feel lost because old beliefs don't work anymore, and we're always chasing after happiness.

The Age of Anxiety

Watts says we should focus on the present moment. Don't worry too much about the past or future. Enjoy what's happening right now, like savoring an ice cream cone.

Living in the Now

Trying to control everything in life is like trying to hold water in your hands. It's impossible and frustrating. Instead, go with the flow and be open to what happens.

Letting Go of Control

Life is always changing, like a flowing river. Don't fight against it. Accept that things will change and you'll feel more peaceful.

Embracing Change

“The more a person is insecure in the present, the more he becomes obsessed with trying to secure himself in the future.”

We often think we can be safe and secure if we have enough money or success. But Watts says true security comes from accepting that life is uncertain.

The Illusion of Security

We often think too much about ourselves, always saying "I want this" or "I need that." Watts suggests we try to forget about "I" sometimes and just experience life.

The Problem with "I"

Watts believes many of our problems come from thinking our minds and bodies are separate. He says we should listen to our bodies and trust our instincts more.

Body and Mind Connection

Watts uses ideas from Eastern philosophies like Buddhism to help us see life differently. He mixes these with Western ideas to create a new way of thinking.

Eastern Wisdom

Watts says the purpose of life is simply to be alive. We don't need to achieve great things to be happy. Just living and experiencing each moment is enough.

The Meaning of Life

“Life is not a problem to be solved, but an experience to be had.”

Life is like a roller coaster. Instead of being scared and trying to control it, Watts suggests we throw our hands up and enjoy the exciting journey.

Enjoying the Ride

The Secret to Finding Peace in a Chaotic World

Acclaimed philosopher Alan Watts shows us how—in an age of unprecedented anxiety—we can find fulfillment by embracing the present and living more fully in the now. He is "the perfect guide for a course correction in life" (from the Introduction by Deepak Chopra).  The brain can only assume its proper behavior when consciousness is doing what it is designed for: not writhing and whirling to get out of present experience, but being effortlessly aware of it. Alan Watts draws on the wisdom of Eastern philosophy and religion in this timeless and classic guide to living a more fulfilling life. His central insight is more relevant now than ever: when we spend all of our time worrying about the future and lamenting the past, we are unable to enjoy the present moment—the only one we are actually able to inhabit. Watts offers the liberating message that true certitude and security come only from understanding that impermanence and insecurity are the essence of our existence. He highlights the futility of endlessly chasing moving goalposts, whether they consist of financial success, stability, or escape from pain, and shows that it is only by acknowledging what we do not know that we can learn anything truly worth knowing. In The Wisdom of Insecurity, Watts explains complex concepts in beautifully simple terms, making this the kind of book you can return to again and again for comfort and insight in challenging times. “Perhaps the foremost interpreter of Eastern disciplines for the contemporary West, Watts had the rare gift of ‘writing beautifully the unwritable.’” —Los Angeles Times

You Won't Believe These Shocking Secrets to Self-Love!

Learning to Love Yourself

"Don’t chase success. Chase excellence, and success will follow."

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">The idea of "following your passion" can be misleading and even harmful.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Most people don’t start with a clear passion but develop it over time through experience and skill.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Focus on becoming excellent at what you do, and passion will follow.</li></ul>

1. Passion is Overrated

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Passion Mindset: Focuses on what the world can offer you.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Craftsman Mindset: Focuses on what you can offer the world by honing your skills.</li></ul>Newport argues that adopting a craftsman mindset leads to greater career satisfaction and success.

2. The Craftsman Mindset vs. The Passion Mindset

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Career capital is made up of rare and valuable skills that set you apart.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Mastering difficult, in-demand skills gives you leverage to shape your career.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Continuous learning and deliberate practice are essential to acquiring career capital.</li></ul>

3. Build Career Capital

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Gaining control over your work (like flexibility and autonomy) is a key driver of satisfaction.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">You can only gain control if you’ve built enough career capital to justify it.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Trying to take control too early without proving your value can backfire.</li></ul>

4. Control Comes With Value

"The only way to do great work is to love what you do."

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Developing a mission or purpose for your work is powerful but requires deep expertise in your field.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Missions often emerge after reaching mastery and seeing unique opportunities that others can’t.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Experimenting and exploring within your field helps refine your mission.</li></ul>

5. Mission Requires Mastery

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Focus on doing the hard, uncomfortable work that pushes your limits.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Seek feedback to improve continuously and grow your skill set.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Deliberate practice separates amateurs from professionals.</li></ul>

6. Embrace Deliberate Practice

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Instead of making bold, risky career moves, test small ideas and refine them.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Small bets allow you to identify what works and adapt without major risks.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Use feedback from these experiments to guide your next steps.</li></ul>

7. Small Bets Lead to Big Wins

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">The passion trap is when you expect your job to immediately fulfill all your desires.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Jobs become meaningful when you’re good at them and contribute something valuable.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Focus on creating value, and passion will naturally follow.</li></ul>

8. Don’t Fall Into the Passion Trap

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Excellence is the ultimate differentiator in any field.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">When you become exceptional at what you do, opportunities and satisfaction naturally follow.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">This approach makes you indispensable and gives you control over your career.</li></ul>

9. Be So Good They Can’t Ignore You

"Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out."

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Don’t chase passion; build it by mastering valuable skills.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Focus on hard work, continuous improvement, and offering value to create a fulfilling career.</li></ul>

Master skills, build value, and let passion follow!

In an unorthodox approach, Georgetown University professor Cal Newport debunks the long-held belief that "follow your passion" is good advice, and sets out on a quest to discover the reality of how people end up loving their careers. Not only are pre-existing passions rare and have little to do with how most people end up loving their work, but a focus on passion over skill can be dangerous, leading to anxiety and chronic job hopping. Spending time with organic farmers, venture capitalists, screenwriters, freelance computer programmers, and others who admitted to deriving great satisfaction from their work, Newport uncovers the strategies they used and the pitfalls they avoided in developing their compelling careers. Cal reveals that matching your job to a pre-existing passion does not matter. Passion comes after you put in the hard work to become excellent at something valuable, not before. In other words, what you do for a living is much less important than how you do it. With a title taken from the comedian Steve Martin, who once said his advice for aspiring entertainers was to "be so good they can't ignore you," Cal Newport's clearly written manifesto is mandatory reading for anyone fretting about what to do with their life, or frustrated by their current job situation and eager to find a fresh new way to take control of their livelihood. He provides an evidence-based blueprint for creating work you love, and will change the way you think about careers, happiness, and the crafting of a remarkable life.

Cal Newport is Provost’s Distinguished Professor of Computer Science at Georgetown University, and the author of seven books. His ideas and writing are frequently featured in major publications and on TV and radio.From his website: "I write about the intersection of digital technology and culture. I’m particularly interested in our struggle to deploy these tools in ways that support instead of subvert the things we care about in both our personal and professional lives."

So Good They Can't Ignore You

The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Your brain gathers all the experiences you have.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">The more experiences you collect, the more material you have for ideas.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Reading, traveling, and meeting people help build this experience.</li></ul>

The Role of Experience

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Most good ideas come from combining two or more old ideas in a new way.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Creative ideas often mix things that were previously unrelated.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">The ability to make new connections is key to idea generation.</li></ul>

Combining Ideas

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Curiosity helps you ask the right questions and explore different areas.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Keep learning about various topics, even those unrelated to your main work.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">The more curious you are, the more ideas you can gather.</li></ul>

The Importance of Curiosity

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">The subconscious mind plays a big part in developing ideas.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">When you don’t consciously focus on a problem, your mind continues to work on it.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Letting your mind wander can help your brain find creative solutions.</li></ul>

The Subconscious Mind

Genius is one percent inspiration, ninety-nine percent perspiration.

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Often, the best ideas come when you’re not thinking hard about them.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">They seem to come out of nowhere, like a sudden flash of understanding.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">These moments often happen when you’re relaxed or distracted.</li></ul>

Essentialism isn’t about how to get more things done; it’s about how to get the right things done

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Focus only on what truly matters.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Eliminate the non-essential to make space for what adds value.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Think quality over quantity in every aspect of life.</li></ul>

1. The Essentialist Mindset

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Saying yes to everything spreads you too thin.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Learning to say no helps protect your time and energy.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Not every opportunity is worth pursuing—only the ones that align with your core values.</li></ul>

2. Choose Wisely: Say No to Good Opportunities

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • More than one million copies sold! Essentialism isn’t about getting more done in less time. It’s about getting only the right things done.   Featuring the new Essentialism 21-Day Challenge • “A timely, essential read for anyone who feels overcommitted, overloaded, or overworked.”—Adam Grant   Have you ever: • found yourself stretched too thin? • simultaneously felt overworked and underutilized? • felt busy but not productive? • felt like your time is constantly being hijacked by other people’s agendas?   If you answered yes to any of these, the way out is the Way of the Essentialist.    Essentialism is more than a time-management strategy or a productivity technique. It is a systematic discipline for discerning what is absolutely essential, then eliminating everything that is not, so we can make the highest possible contribution toward the things that really matter.   By forcing us to apply more selective criteria for what is Essential, the disciplined pursuit of less empowers us to reclaim control of our own choices about where to spend our precious time and energy—instead of giving others the implicit permission to choose for us.   Essentialism is not one more thing—it’s a whole new way of doing everything. It’s about doing less, but better, in every area of our lives. Essentialism is a movement whose time has come.
