That's something you don't want more of. And so sometimes actually the secret to getting more out of life of what we really want, which includes abundance and adventure and success, actually requires us doing less. That's not a message we get very often. But anyway, we could keep talking and I want to be quiet because I'm sure you have more questions.

Think about cancer cells.

Yeah.

I would say one is, I know this sounds really basic, but a lot of people don't do it, is really shift every notification on every electrical device you have to the off position, defaulted to off. Do not let yourself be interrupted by other people's ideas, agendas, or notifications. That includes text messages. That includes Slack. That includes email. That includes every social platform.

One of the biggest things that crushes our ability to do deep focus work is interruptions and distractions. And when you start setting those notifications to off, like you're going to feel a little uncomfortable at first. You're like, oh, am I not important? No one's reaching out to me. Is it too quiet? But I will tell you, you'll get your core work done

so fast and then you'll have so much more space and bandwidth to play and have fun and interact with people and have real conversations and not be toast at the end of your day. So that's one thing. The other thing is I always advise people to make a success plan, not a to-do list. So success plan, it's not just semantics.

But I will tell you, you'll get your core work done

It's actually the framing that's really important is you take four minutes at the end of your day, So before you wrap up for the day and not to wait until five, six, seven, eight o'clock when your brain's freaking toast and you're running on fumes, do it like after lunch at like one or two or something like that. Take four minutes and map out your success plan for the following day.

Are there any core meetings that you have to get to? Is there any place you need to show up and be on time? And what are the one to three, not 15, not 27, what are the one to three really high value projects, tasks, to-dos that you really do need to get done and have those on that list only. And a success plan rather than a to-do list, first of all, it frames you up to have a successful day.

B, you're able to wake up and hit the ground running because you know exactly how your ideal day should unfold. And when you don't stuff it with 17, 15, 30 things, you have enough margin to be able to be responsive to the Oshitake moments of life. The internet fails. Technology doesn't work. Something happens with a member of your family.

If there's enough white space in there, there's enough margin for you to be able to not only get your most important tasks done because you've identified what those are in advance, but there's enough wiggle room to be able to not let your life get out of control or for you to feel out of control dealing with it.

one thing they can do today to become more profiting tomorrow? Well, if you're a business owner, you might want to take a look at expanding either your prices or your offerings to offer something that is either a little more premium or that is catered to an audience who is happy, willing, and able to spend more on something that's a little more white glove or a little bit more exclusive.
