Biggest Takeaways You Don’t Want to Miss:
- Being productive is really not about “getting things done” and MORE about doing what’s inside your desire zone.
- You’ve got your big “time savers” like productivity software, your smartphone, your hacks—but how is that all working out for you? These “resources” are actually cutting into your time!
- You can transform your entire routine by defining your Ideal Week [26:39] (I know because I did it!).
- There are four rituals you need to set yourself up for success. My guess is you are doing maybe one or two of these (at best) right now. So let’s UP your game.
What if you stopped telling yourself you needed to be more productive, and instead, focused on being free—to focus, be present, spontaneous, to do nothing. I know, kind of crazy, right? But that’s EXACTLY what my very special guest, Michael Hyatt, and I tackle today.
