our give away section.
Or go to Bob and Brad Facebook,
it's pinned to the top of the page.
- To the top of the page.
- All right number one let's start off Brad.
The first thing you wanna do as successful people,
they surround themselves with other successful people.
- Sure.
- Joyful, positive people.
I know Tim Ferriss,
I listen to his podcast he's always saying,
"We become the average of the five people
we hang around the most."
So you're gonna become like me Brad!
- Wow! What we got four other people to average in?
- That's right we got other hopefully they'll
bring us up a little bit Brad,
but I have to admit Brad,
you do affect me and
I like your positive attitude.
I like you always have a sunny disposition and
really you know has an effect on me.
- What do you want Bob?
(laughing)
- No it's true we both,
I think we compliment each other
we have different attributes.
- Yeah.
- And, but this whole thing about averaging the five people
that you spend more time with is really intere...
I haven't heard that before.
- Yeah, well start paying attention
to who you're hanging around.
Number two.
You wanna eliminate the small decisions from your life.
Now this was a Einstein,
he wore the same outfit everyday 'cause
he didn't wanna put any thought process into that.
You think, "oh come on how much thinking does it take?".
Well everything,
every decision you make can actually reach decision fatigue.
- Sure.
- And you are using bandwidths you know to make you think
about yourself as like...
- Mental energy?
- Right, mental energy.
You're using it up and that's why a lot
of people that are have trouble is if they have to
spend a lot of time on worry and stuff like that.
- Sure.
- Because you don't have time to spend on good things then.
- Well it's pretty important as far as dress,
that may be a little bit controversial,
but you know there are so many things where
it's like the old saying, "don't cry over spilled milk".
It's a little thing.
- Right, but I'd say that speaking of food,
that would be a thing.
I eat kind of same thing every day you know and
order the same things every week on the same day.
- Sure.
- Just so I don't have to put any thought process into it.
- Great.
- All right number three.
Track your habits.
So if you're trying to improve something,
track how many hours per day you're spending on it.
I mean if you wanna get fit,
how many hours a day are you spending on exercise?
Or, how many minutes a day?
- Right, that's a good one to write down
so you can visualize it and it gives you a
little incentive to get your goal on paper.
- That's right, I think its shocking sometimes
when you find out like if there's a specific work project
you wanna work on and if you track and
you realize, "I'm really not spending much time on this".
- You know.
- So you gotta give it a try.
Number four, this is we've mentioned this one many times,
successful people practice gratitude.
You know write down the things you
are grateful for everyday.
It's just I don't write 'em down,
but every morning I go through a list of
things I'm thankful for.
And you know every day's a gift, Brad.
- It is.
It really is.
You can you know put it on your bedroom dresser,
in the countertop, people have these...
- Refrigerator.
- On the wall or mirror.
Right, yep.
Life is short and remember what's really important.
- Get the little Post-it notes.
Right?
Number five keep learning this is so many ways you
can take in knowledge now.
It's just fantastic, - Right.
you can watch YouTube.
- There you go.
- You can listen to podcasts,
which I've started doing.
And of course there is the old fashioned reading.
- Right yeah, I was just thinking back
when we were growing up it pretty much was
either take a class or read a book.
Those were the options.
- Right.
I mean even the TV didn't have anything you know...
- Well there was a little bit,
but...
- Not like there is now where you have so many options, so.
And I always try to learn from the best first.
- Right.
- So you know that way if you are learning
something that's a little off,
you can compare it to somebody
who's the best - Sure.
and say, "aw that's kinda weird".
- Sure.
You have to keep things in track.
- Number six.
Know when you are most productive and plan accordingly.
Now I did this once, Brad.
I actually, supposedly when you take your temperature,
when your temperature rises slightly during the day,
that's when you're the most alert.
And it did correlate with me.
- You took your temperature?
- Yeah, every hour I take my temperature.
- Really?
- And it varies and I would find I am
at one of my peak moments right now.
- Sure.
- From like nine to eleven was my peak time.
And in the afternoon,
(laughter)
- So you don't wanna do productive or creative stuff
or critical thinking when you're really in that down period.
- Sure, sure.
- You wanna use that just to do routine stuff.
- Right, that make sense. - Yeah.
- I can see where that fits it in depending on
your work habits or what kind of work.
- Yeah, on your work day.
So, number seven.
You wanna meditate, this again a lot of
successful people meditate.
It's very, very common if you,
again listen to Tim Ferriss' podcast,
he interviews really accomplished people and
almost a vast majority of them do some form of meditation.
- Sure, sure.
- Number eight.
Spend quality time with your family.
If you're gonna be a successful person,
how successful are you if you don't take care of
or spend time with your family?
- Right, right.
That should be part of a foundation at the
base of life. - That's right.
- Take care of that otherwise things will
fall apart from top down.
- I'm just gonna bring up this story because I actually read
somebody else talked about it.
My wife used to,
when she'd take the kids home,
and it'd be neighbor kids too.
- From school?
- Yeah, but she'd ask each one of them,
"what was the best thing about your day,
and the worst thing that happened to you today?"
And it always started conversations and she always
found out stuff that she normally wouldn't have.
- Sure.
- So, I just thought it was a neat way know about.
- As opposed to we just say how was your day?
They're gonna go, "oh, Okay".
- And they're gonna give you a blank look.
So, number nine.
Question the status quo.
This is good you know I try to do this in business here.
Are we doing things the best way?
Is there a better way to do this?
- Sure.
- Ya know this is one place where you
don't wanna be in a routine.
- Right.
- You wanna try to constantly get better.
And number ten.
I think we've had discussions on this before.
This is not overrated, sleep.
You know Brad and I have talked about this
how so many people think it's a badge of honor to say,
"I only got four hours of sleep".
- Yep and they just keep on grinding and...
- Yeah.
- And the wheels are gonna fall right off prematurely.
- It's just not good for your health,
and it's not even good for your productivity
or there's really nothing it's good for,
and for some people the amount of sleep
they need can be really quite high.
- Sure.
Which might be nine, ten hours a night.
And don't be ashamed that you are
one of those people. - Right.
- And it depends on your age,
your physical activity,
what kind of work you do,
there's all kinds of variables.
- Yeah yesterday is a good example,
I went for a run in the morning,
then in the afternoon I went for a bike and it was hot.
And so I really perspired a lot.
I mean, I was out last night.
I mean there was storms,
I wasn't hearing them.
So we hope those ten daily habits will help you
and remember Brad and I can fix just about anything.
- Except for...
- A broken heart.
- But we're working on it.
Maybe we could get ten things about that.
- How to fix a broken heart.
- There you go we'll have to do some research.
- Give us some comments if you guys
can give us some help.
Thanks.
