For our best work, we need to dedicate focus and attention to one task and then move to the next. The time in between is task switching. When we

Today’s Mindset: Nick Saban.
Leadership is hard because it means you have to tell people they’re not good enough. Everyone can’t be the best. Too many leaders today are afraid to have difficult conversations. This will forever be my favorite Saban clip.

Today’s Mindset: A break isn’t a “break.” It’s necessary and productive.
Taking a break is often seen as unproductive. It’s actually one of the more productive things you can do.

Today’s Mindset: “I’m busy” is just an excuse to do the things we want to do & avoid things we know we should do.

Today’s Mindset: Barbell Theory
Everything is a muscle. Brain, emotions, skills, etc.
Like lifting a barbell, consistent reps against moderate weight will grow that muscle. Not enough weight causes atrophy. Too much weight can injure.

Cognitive biases inhibit decision making.
Think about this scenario: An NFL head coach was not hired because he is physically imposing. He may have been the best for the role, but the cognitive bias said he couldn’t be hired because he works out too much.

Today’s Mindset: Nobody can do your pushups for you.
We can hire people to do just about anything for us. Drive us around, code our app, market our product, mow our lawn.
But we can’t hire someone to do our pushups.

Today’s Mindset: Maximize over optimize.
I’ve spent a lot of time recently trying to optimize my life. Nutrition, exercise, time spent, etc.
Sometimes we have to flip to maximize which is sheer brute force to volume.
Example: Stop planning times for tasks. Burn thru my to-dos.

By the time we’ve “optimized” something, we could have been done and on to the next thing. Overthinking can lead to delays and less optimization.
Instead, as said in Bull Durham, “Don’t think, just throw.”
As noted by Daniel Kahneman, the brain is made up of System 1 and 2.

Survival tip: Car windows are made to NOT shatter. Side windows need sharp force to break. You can see the guy with a hammer can’t break the driver window.
Every car should have a window punch tool zip tied to a place reachable by the driver.
When a car crashed into a light pole and caught fire on a highway in Minnesota, multiple good Samaritans stopped to try and rescue the driver before it was too late. They eventually managed to get the person out just as the car was engulfed in flames.

Some relationships are 1:1 in returns. Others are 1000x. If you don’t invest in the 1000x, the rest doesn’t matter.
Example: If my marriage is broken or thriving, it impacts every other piece of my life. Has 1000x impact.
