So I don't know about you but when I have a day where I don't get very much
done I tend to feel like crap about myself afterwards unless of course it
was intentional like I'm on holiday or just relaxing but when I mean to get
things done I don't I tend not to feel that good but there's a weird sort of
math that goes on with getting things done I don't know if you've ever had
days like this like us say a Sunday where the whole day is empty and the
only priority I'd said is like okay well at least exercise today do something and
it's like that doesn't even get done a lot of Xbox maybe cuz played or some you
know Netflix watch but nothing productive happened with the whole day
free and then there's other days like today where it's not even noon here I
have been to the gym I've written up a whole bunch of videos I want to film and
I'm filming videos and it's not even noon and then I'm gonna have meetings
and then do some more filming and then get all this email stuff done and how
the heck does that happen well my theory is that if you are wired
a little bit like me if you happen to be maybe an ENFP, INFP, or an adrenaline junkie or
someone who needs stimulation that the more you actually do the easier it will
become see I don't know if you've had this where like you have a test the next
day or a project at its deadline and then suddenly you're able to focus well
this is coming from essentially not really adrenaline but stress hormones
which then cause like dopamine and releases of these different chemicals in
your brain which help you focus very similar to like adderall would do and so
what happens is when you are like two weeks before your projects due yeah I
don't care it'll it'll get done and then it's like the night before and your
brain feels the stress of failing because brains don't like to fail just
like anything else and it releases all these chemicals tied to the stress and
you're just like okay let's get this done and then you get it done right well
I think that's maybe what happened when you get a lot busier as well so if you
have sort of an empty day planned you don't have an
need to like do things quickly there's this thing Tim Ferriss talked about in
the 4-hour workweek I think that's Pareto's principle or law
or no Parkinson's law which is where the size of a task will swell up based on
how much time you allocate to it right so if you have a whole day to do
something you'll be like whoa this is gonna be so hard and you'll
procrastinate it and all that or if you give yourself 20 minutes to do all your
emails for the day it'll be really quick you'll just like get them done and
you'll prioritize and all that and you'll just focus on what's important
and so because of this like whether it's the extra stimulation or feeling more
like excited or interesting or whatever I'm finding more and more that the more
stuff I'm doing the more stuff I get done and the better I feel and the more
efficient I am with my time so I might challenge you that if you're having
trouble sort of focusing or getting much done step back and look at like how
close to your potential are you right now with what you're trying to do is it
sort of like a really easy work schedule you're taking on are your projects a
little limp a little easy maybe that's why you're having trouble focusing on
them if you were to load up a lot of new projects a lot more to do that extra
stimulation and excitement would allow you to get a lot more done and be a lot
more effective now I know it's some of my other videos I talk about focus and
not having shiny object syndrome and not trying to do too many things at watch
right so how do these come together cuz you probably Dan what the hell are you
talk about you just told me not to do too many things and now you're telling
me do everything and I get it okay I'm a little emotional these days I say all
kinds of crazy things know what it is is don't do things that really are like
from totally different parts of your life like contradictory things don't try
to start like a fitness gym and a like frozen yogurt stand
and have a paper route all the same time that's not gonna work very well right
but within your business you try to do like either more ambitious projects or
take on sort of multiple projects at once depending on how your own brain
will work better be more ambitious yeah that's what you're doing and what you're
trying to take on so make it more challenging so you have more to do and
all that maybe as you get more settled in one business it is okay to add like a
second business or a second part of your business or expand things once something
is really solidified and working consistently right so it's not that you
can never do multiple things but if you're in sort of an early phase
definitely don't try to do multiple like different projects and businesses at
once but try to do more ambitious projects try to work with more
challenging clients try to set bigger goals for yourself all this will require
you to really step up and you know who you are and how you're performing and I
think you're gonna find that you end up delivering a lot more and then of course
you know feeling better about yourself and more confident and getting better
results and then getting money and then you'll fall in love and then you'll buy
a nice car and then you'll be like I don't need this nice car I'm loved and
happy and then you'll sell that nice car and then who knows what else could be
