The Snowball Effect of Your Thinking

https://deanbokhari.com/marginal-gains/ | Rerun: EP279. "Marginal Gains" |  Marginal Gains What if I told you that you could transform your entire life if you decided to get just 1% better in each of the areas that matter to you? In 2003, a man named David Brailsford was hired to help a struggling British Cycling team. At the time, British Cycling was weak. They hadn’t won a single Olympic Gold medal since 1908. And no British cyclist had ever won the Tour de France. Dave Brailsford was tasked with changing that. He had an interesting approach to success, known as the “‘Marginal Gains” philosophy, also called the “1% Factor.” His method was simple and straight-forward: Push the team to get 1% better each day. Brailsford’s concept was, that if you broke down every single thing you could think of that goes into cycling—and improved it by just 1%— you’d gain a significant increase when you put them all together. Basically, he was applying the compound effect. Brailsford looked at every little thing he could possibly improve upon in order to create a winning team. He measured and monitored all of the traditional stats of his athletes, like a cyclists’ power output, physical fitness and nutrition. He targeted specific weaknesses on the team and sought to improve upon them bit-by-bit. But Brailsford also looked at improving often-overlooked areas, and implemented tiny tactics to help them get the edge:  They had the seats redesigned for extra comfort and stability They put rubbing alcohol on the tires for better grip They experimented with different racing suits for better aerodynamics They tested various massage gels for better muscle recovery They tested electrically heated shorts He trained his cyclists on the phycological aspect of success They even used better pillows in order to optimize their sleep  All-in-all, it was a much more holistic approach to success. The changes they made were tiny, but over time, compounded to make a significant impact. From 2007 to 2017, the British Cycling team won 178 world championships, and 66 Olympic gold medals. In 2010, as the general manager of the British-based professional cycling team, Team Sky (now known as Team Ineos), Brailsford set a goal to take his cycling team to a winning position in the Tour de France in the next 5 years. He implemented his “Marginal Gains” principle and began working to improve every area of his cycling team by 1%… And they took home a gold medal at the Tour De France within 3 years. By 2018, they’d gone on to take home 6 Tour de France victories. That’s an incredible improvement, to say the least. How Marginal Gains can Transform Your Life. If you can get just 1% better each day for a single year, you’ll end up thirty-seven times better by the same time next year. This also works in the opposite direction: if you get 1% worse each day for a single year, you’ll decline down to nearly zero. Focus on making small improvements each day, over time those small improvements will equate to massive change. For example, let’s say you want to lose weight and get in shape. Instead of focusing on losing 50 lbs, concentrate on working out for just 30 minutes three times a week for 30 days. Over time you will begin to see changes in your body. Thirty minutes a day, three times a week for 52 weeks is 4,680 minutes worth of exercise. If you can find a way to improve each of the major areas of your life by just 1% every day, beginning today, you will have transformed your life completely by this time next year. Unfortunately, most people apply the exact opposite approach: they’ll use short spurts of motivation to work themselves into burnout—before losing steam and giving up before they see any progress at all… Don’t let that be you. Imagine what your life would look like a year from now if you decided to apply the 1% factor to start making marginal gains on your goals  If you want to write a book, write just five pages a day for the next thirty days. If you want to start getting up earlier, set your alarm clock for just one minute earlier each morning. If you want to read more books, start reading just seven pages a day build up from there. If you want to figure out how to create an additional income stream, start writing down five new business ideas each day—and test one a week—until you hit upon something that works.  One month from now:  you’ll have written 150 pages. you’ll be getting up thirty minutes earlier. you’ll have read a full book. you could be making more money than you are today.  One year from now:  you’ll have written 1,800 pages — enough to fill seven books. you could be getting up at 5am consistently. you’ll have read 12 more books you could be making more money than you’ve ever made before.  Bottom line? Small, simplistic actions repeated regularly, can lead to dramatic changes over time. Actionable insight:  Set yourself a challenge to get 1% better each day for the next 30 days. Select one or more areas of your life (physically, financially, mentally, socially, spiritually) and aim to improve by just 1% each day.  If you want to improve your knowledge on a particular topic, for example, read seven pages every day. If you’re not used to exercising but want to take control of your health, start by exercising just 10 minutes a day.   Keep in mind: marginal gains are about paying attention to the small action steps, making small changes, and achieving more over time.  ###   Share on Facebook  Tweet  Share on LinkedIn

7 Habits of Highly Effective People vs. Ineffective People

http://www.meaningfulhq.com/10-happier-summary.html // Episode #57: 10 Percent Happier (Audio Summary)What if you could learn to calm your mind, relax under pressure, and de-stress your life without losing your edge?  Impossible, you say?  That’s not what author Dan Harris claims... His book, 10% Happier offers a practical way to approach mindfulness in the modern world. And on today's episode of The Meaningful Show, we're going to be doing an audio summary on Harris' book.  Here's what you'll learn about in this episode:  The various forms of achieving enlightenment through mindfulness,  How to deal with stress more effectively, and how to meditate.

Cancel anytime. BOOK DESCRIPTION: Nightline anchor Dan Harris embarks on an unexpected, hilarious, and deeply skeptical odyssey through the strange worlds of spirituality and self-help, and discovers a way to get happier that is truly achievable. After having a nationally televised panic attack on Good Morning America, Dan Harris knew he had to make some changes. A lifelong nonbeliever, he found himself on a bizarre adventure, involving a disgraced pastor, a mysterious self-help guru, and a gaggle of brain scientists. Eventually, Harris realized that the source of his problems was the very thing he always thought was his greatest asset: the incessant, insatiable voice in his head, which had both propelled him through the ranks of a hyper-competitive business and also led him to make the profoundly stupid decisions that provoked his on-air freak-out… We all have a voice in our head. It’s what has us losing our temper unnecessarily, checking our email compulsively, eating when we’re not hungry, and fixating on the past and the future at the expense of the present. Most of us would assume we’re stuck with this voice – that there’s nothing we can do to rein it in – but Harris stumbled upon an effective way to do just that. It’s a far cry from the miracle cures peddled by the self-help swamis he met; instead, it’s something he always assumed to be either impossible or useless: meditation. After learning about research that suggests meditation can do everything from lower your blood pressure to essentially rewire your brain, Harris took a deep dive into the underreported world of CEOs, scientists, and even marines who are now using it for increased calm, focus, and happiness. 10% Happier takes readers on a ride from the outer reaches of neuroscience to the inner sanctum of network news to the bizarre fringes of America’s spiritual scene, and leaves them with a takeaway that could actually change their lives.

In previous episodes of the podcast — namely, Designing Your Morning Ritual, and How to Make New Year's Resolutions Stick — I’ve talked about how much I love waking up and working out. The reasons for this are many, including the research-driven data that shows how exercising in the morning actually gives us MORE energy, as opposed to the widely touted myth that working out early drains us of energy.  Again, the reverse is true -- though not for every one, at least for most of us -- not only does working out in the morning help us become more energetic, it can actually set a powerful series of events in motion to help you create more productive days, weeks, months, and years for yourself.    The Endorphin Effect: If you wake up early and workout vigorously for a minimum of 45 minutes or more, then a naturally-produced chemical known as Endorphin begins to surge through your body, giving you a natural high (also known as “runner’s high). This chemical kicks into your body because it’s meant to mask the pain your putting your muscles through when you lift weights or do hard core cardio. (Side note: when you’re lifting weights, you’re basically ripping and tearing your muscle fibers… the reason why muscles actually grow in size isn’t because of the lifting of weights, it’s because of the eating of foods. When you tear up your muscle fibers in the gym, you need to put nutrition-dense foods back into your body in order to give them a reason to re-build… and if you want them to come back larger, it’s best to optimize your diet accordingly.)   The Dopamine Effect: Now, once you’ve gotten out of the gym, you probably feel really good about yourself for having gotten up early and workout out. This then, gives you small doses  of yet another naturally occurring chemical in your body, known as Dopamine, which gives you the feelings of positive reinforcement for having done a good job.    As The Day Goes On: Now you’re in your car and headed to work feeling like a champion. You already know that no one else in your peer group got up as early as you did to workout, so that just makes you feel even better. Whether that’s right or wrong is neither here nor there — but for a lot of us, it *is* true.   If you add a little morning meditation into the mix, that’s even better. And if you add a little visualization and gratitude action on top of that — well, then, you’ll *really* be setting yourself up for a kick-ass day. Okay, I get it. So how do I get myself to wake up early and workout?  1. Plan it out. Plan all your workouts BEFORE you step foot into the gym. Write it down, or get an app like Gym Buddy to keep you on track. Having plans and goals are crucial. Otherwise you’ll end up screwing around and leaving early. 2. Picture yourself doing tomorrow’s workout today. One of the things I do every night before going to bed is to whip out my phone and go over my workout routine for the following morning real quick before calling it a night. I envision myself CRUSHING it in the gym. Performing every exercise and hitting new personal records for each of them. Yes, it helps. And yes, it makes a difference. Currently, I’m keeping my workouts in an Evernote checklist titled “Dean’s Training Program: Week 2”. The tools I use change from time to time, but the process doesn’t. 3. Set it and forget it. Place your alarm clock far enough away from your bed that you must physically get out of bed in order to shut that thing off. 4. Never hit the snooze button. “Just 5 more minutes” rarely ends up being just 5 minutes… Trust me, I know this from personal experience on more than one occasion. Do not let your mind trick your into hitting the snooze button. Avoid waking up two hours later and kicking yourself for missing a workout, and then allowing that guilt to have a negative impact on the rest of your entire day. It’s not worth it. 5. Jump out of bed like a machine. Sometimes I wake up with such force that I scare my poor wife out of her beauty sleep. You don’t need to jump right out of bed, but you DO need to feel as if you wanted to. Be robotic with it. Wake up and go. Don’t think about how little you slept last night. Don’t think about how many things you need to do today. As soon as your alarm goes off, get your body out of your bed and get moving. 6. Prep your pre-workout supplementation. I like to have a pre-workout drink before I go into the gym. And because it’s powdered, I put it in an empty shaker and place it next to my bed side table (right next to a bottled water) so that it’s ready to be consumed with my vitamins as soon as I get up in the morning. Wondering what I put in my pre workout drink? It varies, but it’s usually a powdered mix of caffeine, branch-chain amino acids, buffered creatine monohydrate, and arginine. But if you're looking for a set of all-in-one supplements that can give you a solid boost, without making you feel like an over-stimulated crack addict, I'd recommend Onnit Labs. They're an ethical company that produces high-grade supplements, with research-driven data to support their brands. 7. Prepare your attire the night before. I go to sleep with my gym clothes on. But I’m a dude, so that’s usually just a pair of sweats and a tank top. If you can’t do that, then pick out exactly what you need to wear to the gym the next morning and have it ready to go. If you go straight work after your workout, then bring your toiletries and work clothes with you. Most gyms have lockers. Hopefully yours is clean.Quick recap: 7 steps to wake up early and workout 1.

The reasons for this are many, including the research-driven data that shows how exercising in the morning actually gives us MORE energy, as opposed to the widely touted myth that working out early drains us of energy.  Again, the reverse is true -- though not for every one, at least for most of us -- not only does working out in the morning help us become more energetic, it can actually set a powerful series of events in motion to help you create more productive days, weeks, months, and years for yourself.  </li> <li> The Endorphin Effect: If you wake up early and workout vigorously for a minimum of 45 minutes or more, then a naturally-produced chemical known as Endorphin begins to surge through your body, giving you a natural high (also known as “runner’s high). This chemical kicks into your body because it’s meant to mask the pain your putting your muscles through when you lift weights or do hard core cardio. (Side note: when you’re lifting weights, you’re basically ripping and tearing your muscle fibers… the reason why muscles actually grow in size isn’t because of the lifting of weights, it’s because of the eating of foods. When you tear up your muscle fibers in the gym, you need to put nutrition-dense foods back into your body in order to give them a reason to re-build… and if you want them to come back larger, it’s best to optimize your diet accordingly.) </li> <li> The Dopamine Effect: Now, once you’ve gotten out of the gym, you probably feel really good about yourself for having gotten up early and workout out. This then, gives you small doses  of yet another naturally occurring chemical in your body, known as Dopamine, which gives you the feelings of positive reinforcement for having done a good job.  </li> <li> As The Day Goes On: Now you’re in your car and headed to work feeling like a champion.

meaningfulhq.com/modern-romance-aziz-ansari.html |  “We met at Starbucks.” That’s what I’d tell people when they asked about how I met my girlfriend (now, wife.) Little did they know, I was too embarrassed to tell them we met on Match.com. I’d pepper lots of other little details (ehem: lies) about what I said and how I approached her, but my story about where we met (Starbucks) never changed. I was even specific about the exact location—“We met at the Starbucks in downtown Brea, right next to the Corner Bakery.” I did my best to keep my wife’s friends away from my friends at mutual gatherings, too. This is because she was honest with her friends and family about how we met. And then there was the wedding… We got married on a beautiful yacht, overlooking Newport Beach, CA. Everything about it was better than expected. Except for how much I was freaking out about my friends potentially finding out that I lied to them about how I met the woman I’m marrying. When we were planning seating arrangements, I had to make sure that my friends and family were on one side of the yacht, and my wife’s were on the other. Except of course, for the one’s on my wife’s side who promised to maintain my Starbucks “decoy story.” It took me another two years after the wedding to tell my friends and family that I actually met my wife online. (And my dad still doesn’t know.) I joke about it all now, because it seems so foolish that I’d ever hidden it in the first place. But truth be told, looking for love online is one of the most sensible things a single person can do for themselves… I mean, where else can you find and drill down on exactly what you’re looking for in an ideal mate? At most reputable online dating services (not Tinder), you can filter from race, religion, and spiritual inclination; down to habits, ambitions, and geographical proximity. In fact, according to Aziz Ansari’s new book, Modern Romance, over one-third of couples who got married in the US between 2005–2012 met each other on an online dating site. (And these numbers have likely shot up exponentially over the subsequent years thereafter) That said, Ansari and his co-author Eric Klinenberg—the social scientist who helped him write this surprisingly well-researched book—say that social stigmas are still quite prevalent among people because they’re afraid to admit that they met their partner online … Apparently, I wasn’t the only one who felt the need to make up a “decoy story” about how I met my mate. In this book summary/article/episode, we’ll be going over a few knowledge bombs gleaned from Modern Romance, including:  online dating etiquette, 3 steps to crafting the perfect text message, and why too many choices can be a bad thing.

062: Communicate To Influence with Ben Decker

https://www.deanbokhari.com/four-thieves-of-productivity/ | RE-RUN: EP143. 4 Thieves of Productivity (Avoid Them at All Cost)    Wanna get your self-improvement questions answered on the podcast? Email them to me here: questions@deanbokhari.com Message me on Twitter @DeanBokhari     ABOUT THIS EPISODE:  “…at any moment in time there can be only ONE Thing, and when that ONE Thing is in line with your purpose and sits atop your priorities, it ill be the most productive thing you can do to launch you toward the best you can be. Actions build on action. Habits build on habit. Success builds on success.” —Gary Keller, Jay Papasan from The ONE Thing One-half of knowing what you want is knowing what you must give up before you get it. Give up the following four thieves of productivity in order to get more of what you want, and less of what you don’t. Click below to start listening, or scroll down to read the article version instead. 1. INABILITY TO SAY “NO”. As a rule of thumb, you should avoid saying yes to most things unless they’re connected to your most important goals. If you’re afraid of saying no to someone because it might hurt their feelings, come up with a way to say it that you’re comfortable with. Here’s Seth Godin on saying no: “you can say no with respect, you can say no promptly, and you can say no with a lead to someone who might say yes. But just saying yes because you can’t bear the short-term pain of saying no is not going to help you do the work.” Love it. 2. FEAR OF CHAOS Shit happens. Messes occur. Wives (and husbands) get angry. These things happen. But it doesn’t mean you should give up on your goals. Chaos is natural. In fact, the more you focus on what you want, the more of it you’ll probably get. That’s okay. In fact, problems are a good thing. When you’ve got problems, it means you’re taking action. You can’t grow unless you take action. And the more action you take, the more problems you’ll face. In fact, one of the biggest differences between productive people and unproductive people is this: when productive people come across a problem, they keep going—they take action. When unproductive people come across a problem, they stagnate—they stop. Create time blocks to control the chaos in your life and remain as productive as possible. Use your time blocks to work on your most important projects, and protect them with your life. In time, you’ll learn to deal with the chaos in your own unique way. But don’t let chaos control you. YOU control the chaos… by focusing on one thing at a time. One time block at a time. 3. POOR HEALTH HABITS Poor health — especially poorly managed energy — is one of the most underestimated thieves of productivity. Your health and your success are intertwined with one another and depend on each to survive and thrive. For maximum energy management and productivity, plan your days to include the following:  Meditate / pray for spiritual energy. Eat right, exercise, and sleep sufficiently for physical energy. Spend time with friends and family for emotional energy. Set goals, plan, and calendar for mental energy. Time block your most important goals and projects for business energy.  4. AN ENVIRONMENT THAT DOESN'T SUPPORT YOUR GOALS. Did you know that if one of your close friends becomes obese, you’re 57% more likely to become obese [1] as well? Crazy, eh? This is because the people we see and spend time with most tend to set our standards (see: The Law of Averages). The final thief of productivity is about getting your game up! It’s about raising your standards in every arena of life—your goals, your habits, and your surroundings. I think Oprah’s got a great little nugget of wisdom when it comes to this: “Surround yourself only with people who are going to lift you higher.” IT'S ABOUT THE JOURNEY. Here’s a quick recap of the four thieves of productivity — avoid these bastards at all times, unless you want them to highjack your productivity:  Inability to say “No” The fear of chaos Poor health habits An environment that doesn’t support your goals   *** SELECTED LINKS/RESOURCES:  Subscribe / View Previous Episodes:  Subscribe on iTunes Subscribe on Stitcher Episode archives      SPECIAL PROMOS:  (Flash)Books  Too Busy To Read?

Your health and your success are intertwined with one another and depend on each to survive and thrive. For maximum energy management and productivity, plan your days to include the following: <ol> <li>Meditate / pray for spiritual energy.</li> <li>Eat right, exercise, and sleep sufficiently for physical energy.</li> <li>Spend time with friends and family for emotional energy.</li> <li>Set goals, plan, and calendar for mental energy.</li> <li>Time block your most important goals and projects for business energy.</li> </ol> 4. AN ENVIRONMENT THAT DOESN'T SUPPORT YOUR GOALS. Did you know that if one of your close friends becomes obese, you’re 57% more likely to become obese <a href="https://www.meaningfulhq.com/four-thieves-of-productivity.html#fn:1" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">[1]</a> as well? Crazy, eh? This is because the people we see and spend time with most tend to set our standards (see: The Law of Averages). The final thief of productivity is about getting your game up! It’s about raising your standards in every arena of life—your goals, your habits, and your surroundings. I think Oprah’s got a great little nugget of wisdom when it comes to this: “Surround yourself only with people who are going to lift you higher.” IT'S ABOUT THE JOURNEY. Here’s a quick recap of the four thieves of productivity — avoid these bastards at all times, unless you want them to highjack your productivity: <ol> <li>Inability to say “No”</li> <li>The fear of chaos</li> <li>Poor health habits</li> <li>An environment that doesn’t support your goals</li> </ol>  *** SELECTED LINKS/RESOURCES: <ul> <li>Subscribe / View Previous Episodes: <ul> <li><a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/meaningful-show-dean-bokhari/id904829767?mt=2&amp;ign-mpt=uo%3D8" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Subscribe on iTunes</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/dean-bokharis-meaningful-show" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Subscribe on Stitcher</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.meaningfulhq.com/show.html" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Episode archives</a></li> </ul> </li> </ul>   SPECIAL PROMOS: <ul> <li><a href="https://www.getflashnotes.com/subscribe/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">(Flash)Books</a> <ul> <li>Too Busy To Read?

The 4 Thieves of Productivity (RE-RUN)

This is a re-run of EP#146, originally published in June 2016. If you're new to the podcast, and haven't scrolled back that far -- this is for you! If you've been listening for awhile -- thanks! I love you, and feel free to use this episode as a refresher. Original episode details below...   DeanBokhari.com • EP146. Flow: The Science-Backed Secret to Happiness  Wanna get your self-improvement questions answered on the podcast? Submit them here: MeaningfulHQ.com/contact.html or email them to me here: questions@deanbokhari.com  ABOUT THIS EPISODE:  In this episode, we'll be talking about "Flow," which is a term that author Mihály Csíkszentmihályi uses to describe that feeling of total awesomeness you experience when you're so immersed in an activity (work or otherwise) that you lose track of time and feel like you could just keep on working on it forever because of the enjoyment it brings you to do the work itself. Most of us don't experience Flow as often as we'd like, and most people think it's just something that happens by way of luck. But it's not luck... There's actually a science-backed method to making Flow a part of your daily life, and you're about to learn it...
