People ask me a lot about how to be more productive. And there's nothing worse
than feeling unproductive, feeling like you're not doing anything,
feeling lazy. Now, the truth is it's very simple, okay? There is a barrier.
There's a big old barrier, and it's called the eternal wait.
What that means is when we put something that we want to do in our brain,
so we write out a list or something, when are we going to do it?
If you don't set a time to do it, it falls into the eternal wait.
Which means you're going to wait, and you're going to wait, and you wait.
So I was sitting in this hotel reading some questions and I saw this one over and
over again. It's been asked many times about being productive.
Now, I could have waited. I could've said, "You know what? We're going to wait
until there's a beautiful backdrop. Until there is a thousand-year-old
redwood tree." You know, "Someday when I have a better
background video, I will answer this question and it'll look illustrious."
But chances are, I wouldn't have that exact imprint in my brain of a response.
I wouldn't have the passion because I just read the comment, and I wouldn't do
as good of a job. So what I did is I said, "Hey, let's shoot this video right now.
I don't care that I'm in a hotel. I don't care if the lighting is good.
Let's just shoot this video." And it scratches it off the list,
and it gets it down. It makes it reality. Because until you turn it into reality,
it actually does not really exist. Right? It sounds silly, but it's true.
The number one thing you can do is strike things off your mental list. Okay?
If you have something that you want done and you have a list of things,
spend some time and execute it, take action. It doesn't have to be great.
It does not have to be great. I remember in my house I had a bunch
of stuff, a bunch of groceries I needed to get, and I always forgot all
the time. I was like, "Oh, I didn't get the onions.
I didn't get the garlic." So what I did instead of what I was
doing previously, like, "Oh, next time I go to the grocery store, I'll
remember it." Never remembered it. I wrote a list of the things that I could
remember at that time, and I went to the grocery store,
and I got them. I got those things. And I didn't remember all of the things
that I might I need. I didn't anticipate it.
But the next time that happened, it was like a rush of endorphins.
Like, "Oh, I actually have what I want." And the same thing is true for working,
if you're an entrepreneur, or a business, or anything like that.
Or writing, just start writing something. You don't have to...you know,
you have a book, "Oh, I got to write the beginning."
Just write random paragraphs. Just pretend you jumped in the middle
of the book. Just execute it. It doesn't have to be pristine.
It doesn't have to even be really good. As long as it's getting done,
and you'll find that you're in the flow more, you're emptying your brain.
It's like your brain is essentially a hard drive, and it's becoming filled the
most and using up the most RAM when you have things that are pending that you need
to do. Like, "Oh, I need to do this. I forgot to do this."
It triggers your anxieties, and it gets you out of whack.
Start executing the list. It doesn't even have to be amazing,
but just start doing it. And don't let it fall into the
eternal wait. Do it now.
