Why Can’t You Be More Like Tony Robbins?
It’s time to stop wasting your time on activities that don’t increase your productivity.
It’s time to stop wasting your time on activities that don’t increase your productivity.
There are legions of people out there who are maximizing themselves, and they are leaving you in the dust. Do you REALLY want to:
Maximize Productivity?
Accomplish More?
Create the Life You’ve Always Dreamed Of?
Then stop making excuses and do these 19 simple things:
Focus on moving your career forward every single day, including weekends. Only relentless work will get you that successful start-up, that second or third home, that TED talk.
Sleep less. The military gets 4 of hours of sleep a night, and look how much they get done. Need a strategy to make that happen? Read on.
Get up early, no later than 5am. Science has proven that everyone is more creative in the morning, so the more morning you have, the better.
Make a schedule at the beginning of the week and stick to it. A friend calls and needs to talk? Her crisis is not your problem. Be kind, but firm: “Sorry! Maybe I can fit you in a week from Tuesday.”
Any time you are out doing errands, wear headphones/earbuds. This time-saving tip allows you to a) listen to books on tape by Tony Robbins; and b) avoid unproductive conversations with people who can’t advance your career.
Have less sex, unless you are actively attempting to procreate. (Sexual pleasure is for the feeble; true pleasure comes from success!) Then make sure it’s scheduled only for days when you and your partner are fertile.
Don’t have kids.
If you have kids already, make sure each one has a cellphone from the time they can carry it. Anything you can teach them, they can learn from Siri.
Dump those friendships that aren’t serving you. That childhood friend who talks too much? The neighbor that is laid up from recent surgery? The recent widow who’s too clingy? Cut them loose! You are doing them a favor… how else will they learn self-reliance?
Cultivate “friends” at your workplace, so that you don’t waste time getting together with them outside of work.
Spend less time making food. So much time is wasted in the kitchen, preparing “wholesome” meals that no one really likes. Get a high-speed blender and throw in something from all four food groups.
Spend less time eating food. This should take care of itself, if you follow #11.
Never “just” consume food. That is a missed opportunity! Clear off old emails, plan your day, tweet, or drive while drinking your food.
Work out every morning to the point of exhaustion, preferably while reciting affirmations like: “I am Tony Robbins.” Don’t have enough time? Set that alarm for 4:30am. It’s that easy.
Don’t give away your talents for nothing, unless it’s going to somehow advance your career. Success breeds success! This is critical: Never volunteer with needy people — they lower your vibration.
Take a hard look at what’s draining you. Is it time to pull the plug on Aunt Sue’s life support? Be realistic! She probably can’t even hear you. Would she want you to be wasting your time at her bedside every week?
Set your timer: every 20 minutes, stop and evaluate your performance. What did I not do quickly enough? What did I let distract me? How can I do better in the next 20 minutes? Then write down your goal, and evaluate yourself again 20 minutes later.
Compete against yourself! Are you stronger, smarter, faster, better-looking, or more productive than you were yesterday? Yes? Go on to #19. No? YOU MUST NOT BE PAYING ATTENTION TO THIS LIST. Go back to the beginning, and this time, don’t just read it. LIVE IT.
Congratulations! You are a worthwhile human being. For the moment.
