He woke up today with a cold
I'm not about that life right now. I'm not trying to get sick so but we're still doing this daily vlog
What's up, I'm Derek Halpern, I just got a new package in the mail, and I'm excited for this package
Let me tell you why it's clothing
I think clothing is an important part of my daily routine and it's something that I think
Sets me apart for most people you see today. I want to tell you how I dress for success
I don't want to share what I wear at special events or conferences or anything like that
I want to tell you what I wear on a daily basis, and why I wear it and today
I got some new clothes, so I'm excited to open it up. Let me show you well
I'm opening this as you know yesterday on my vlog
I told you that I wasted $800 on YouTube ads and what a disaster that was
And I told you about my new ad that I was gonna be running
Super excited that ad just went live a few seconds ago, so I'm excited to see what happens. Don't worry
I'll keep you updated now. Let me open this box up to show you what I got my favorite stuff. Oh
Yeah, I love this look at this
Now here's the best part about these sweatpants they have zippers on both pockets
Now these zippers are great because you never lose anything when you zip him up kind of zipper back pocket -
Problem with these pants's though those zippers scratch my iPhone, so I had my iPhone 10 for like two hours
And then I scratched my phone cuz I don't wear a case or a screen protector
But I wear these sweatpants every single day of the week and let me tell you why now it's not uncommon for
Entrepreneurs to wear the same thing every day you might have heard steve job was known for his uniform
Mark Zuckerberg is known for his uniform karl lagerfeld looks a certain way Einstein
Supposedly wore the same thing every single day. I'm not trying to say that I do this for those reasons because you should never
underestimate a
smart person's ability to
rationalize why they do something to make themselves seem more smart right if you see some of these interviews with these other
Entrepreneurs, they would say I wear the same thing every day because I don't want to suffer from decision fatigue
That's not why I do it. I'll tell you why I do it. I have patience level zero
I've got no patience and I have unlimited patience for important things like business growth
But no patience for pretty much everything else in my life
So one of the biggest things that would frustrate me was I go take a shower and get out of the shower
I would come out and I would just start trying to think about what to wear and I realized that
Decision fatigue is part of the problem
But that's not really what I cared about the reason why I wear the same thing every day
Because I hate making that decision. I just hate it. It would stress me out
He'd frustrate me drive me crazy
Nothing would be crazier than pulling out his shirt and a pair of pants putting them on
Look in the mirror and being up that doesn't match
It's horrible so while I'd like to tell you that I do this to eliminate decision fatigue. I
Actually do it because I'm a child when it comes to getting dressed in the morning
And I just don't want to stress out about it now. You might be wondering why does this matter Derek?
Why are you talking about clothing and it's like look man
I'll just be honest with you everyone thinks they need to think about the next tactic the next strategy
That's gonna help them grow their business of course right YouTube marketing Facebook marketing blah blah blah blah blah of course
Thing is what's the one thing we all do every single day?
We all get dressed and even though it's not straight up business advice. It's something. That's important
it's something that helps you set yourself up for the rest of the day and
one of the things that has always inspired me is the idea of
understanding how people
Get the work done and even though it might feel like you can't benefit from this sort of stuff
It's one of those things that you should be excited to hear about if you understand someone's process and how they do what they do
It helps you get yourself into the right mindset to do something similar
When I started to take notes on the different books. I was reading I went through several different systems
I used to write stuff in a notebook
It was okay, then I read about Tim Ferriss his way that he took notes
And he had a notebook where he would create an index. It was great it worked out fantastic
Then I read the blog post about how Ryan holiday does it with the index cards, which is what I do now
And then I started to develop that into my own where I had this index card system
Mixed with my notes in the phone now
I know that's a little bit more tactical than what I wear every day, but what's important about this is?
Understanding that I've always said I'm 99% useless, but that 1% when I'm not I'm dangerous
it's because I don't think about anything else I
Wake up, and I hate
Figuring out what to wear?
So I had to get it out of my life when I go to the gym
I have a trainer not because I can't Google what to do
Of course I can not nitty and I can't read
But I have a trainer because I don't want to have to think about what I do at the gym
I just want to show up and do it and leave and then go back to doing what I want to do
Which is work on my stuff I?
Take these decisions out of the mix and even though it might seem soft almost everyone. I know who's successful
Does something similar?
Not Steve Jobs not Zuckerberg not any of those people
It's the people
Just like me my friends. They all do the same thing they they save their energy
For the thing that they care about it's not necessarily about decision fatigue like these other people would have you think
But it's about
making it your true focus and
Eliminating everything else now what I want to hear from you is what did you cut out of your life?
