Transcripts
how many more times are you going to
tell yourself it's somebody else's
responsibility how many more times
you're going to hope it just happens on
its own how much longer are you going to
wait to demand the best for yourself
you don't just magically become
productive it's a process and it's
usually
learning by trial and error but the best
way to learn the experiences of other
people so one of the strategies i've
always used to become productive in my
life is to ask people who are more
productive or more accomplished than me
how they do what they do that's one of
the questions i ask the most on the
daily stoic podcast we've interviewed
hundreds now of elite performers
billionaires professional athletes
professional artists people who are
extremely successful and productive at
what they do and ask them how they got
that way so in today's episode i want to
give you some of the best clips for
becoming more productive and better at
whatever you do now if i can give you
one tip to start from the stoics it
comes to us from marcus realist he says
that the question you have to ask
yourself always is is this task
essential he says when we eliminate the
inessential he says but we get the
double benefit of doing the things we
should be doing better so strategies
like that from some elite performers
here in the modern world about how to be
more productive from the daily stock
podcast
this is an area that i've started to do
some digging around in researching my
book which is this idea that when we
think of our future selves we endow our
future selves with superhuman abilities
like oh i'm feeling a bit tired right
now but tomorrow my tomorrow self is not
going to feel tired at the same time and
therefore i'll do this thing tomorrow or
eight months from now you know what of
course i'll be able to do all these
things how hard can it be it's just a
you know it's just a talk i've done
these a lot and that is a big part of
what causes procrastination for people
who suffer from it oh this had this idea
that tomorrow me is superman whereas
today me is normal and therefore i will
put this thing off yeah steven
pressfield says that nobody says i'm
never gonna write my symphony they say
i'm gonna write it tomorrow not only do
we think we're gonna have superhuman
skills in in the future we think we'll
have unlimited time in the future but in
fact we'll be just as constrained eight
months from now as we are today nothing
ever clears off of your plate yeah if
you had to think about like what are the
biggest tools for you as far as being
more productive if someone's like i'm
just a mess where would you start for me
i found that actually just optimizing
for what's fun has been the single
biggest hack for my productivity ever
and so now my my advice for most people
if they're struggling with productivity
is find a way to make it fun in terms of
specific tools for getting more done
single biggest step i found is um
something i came across in a book called
make time by jake knapp and john
zaratsky they call it the daily
highlight i think similar to gary
keller's idea of the one thing like
what's the one thing i actually want to
do today and honestly if if i could
actually just do that one thing that's
most important to me every single day
for 365 days
that would completely move the needle on
my productivity life without design is
erratic that's from seneca so it's all
about routine for me so every day looks
almost exactly the same for me whether
it's the weekend or it's a holiday or
it's a hard working day and so my day is
with a couple key things i wake up early
i don't use the phone for the first 30
40 50 minutes i'm awake i do my big
creative task first i spend some time
with a journal i only have three things
scheduled in my calendar every day no
more tasks are allowed to be scheduled
in the calendar then i do some form of
hard strenuous exercise i try to be done
with work and at home with my family by
five uh at the absolute latest we do
dinner with the family every day kids in
the bath every day and i read my kids to
sleep every day and that's the perfect
day
before i was an author i learned a
system now i probably if i'm being
honest there's nothing magical about the
system that i learned from robert greene
it's that i didn't make it up myself
it's that he was like here's how a book
is made here's how a writer does what
they do
and because i was following a system
i've adapted myself to the system and
it's pulled product out of me as opposed
to
me
reverting to whatever like the lowest
impulse or drive is i think systems
allow us to make good decisions one
aspect where you can be useful if you're
managing people is to say let's actually
be crystal clear about what are the
things we do let's actually think about
each of these things and say how do we
want to implement it how do we want to
keep track of the information relevant
to this how do we want to communicate
about this thing answering those
questions is it's like a small example
but answering those questions about the
processes you come back to again and
again can
exponentially make the work more
effective because when you don't answer
those questions you fall back on
defaults defaults are often lowest
common denominator and in the world of
work for example the default is often
just we'll just rock and roll on slack
or we'll rock and roll and email and
kind of figure things out on the fly
which is a cognitive disaster it's a
terrible way to try to organize brains
to actually produce value in a
systematic manner
[Music]
the secret to productivity but most of
all happiness
is to not be so reachable we have our
phones we have emails we have watches we
have 50 different social inboxes and
then we wonder why we never get anything
done seneca says if you want to improve
be content to be seen as ignorant about
some matters you can't always know
what's going on you can't always be
reachable napoleon famously would wait
three weeks until he opened his mail
because he knew that most issues would
resolve themselves if you are always
reachable if you can be gotten a hold of
the moment's notice you will not be
focused on the big important things you
will not be doing your work and you will
not be philosophical
on my podcast i use this phrase um
facing the productivity dragon you can
see here's what's on my plate and if
it's terrible it's terrible
and you see the exact extent of the
terribleness this is look at all these
things i'm committed to when they're
done i can't make these pieces work this
is i'm way over committed but a lot of
times i think when we get overloaded we
flee but you gotta face the productivity
dragon at some point if you get drafted
you're playing professional sports and
then you can't figure out how to deal
with the pressure how to be in charge of
your training how to communicate how to
learn the playbook you're not going to
make it because this
the stakes are too high the competition
is too stiff
you have to go
all right i am way in it i'm going to
figure out a way to survive what you
can't fall prey to and this is what most
people do is magical thinking or
entitlement because both those things
will kill you so i think there's like a
nice thing to pull out of there is yeah
it's not about what's my dream job how
do i get it
it's like how do i get started and
really systematically building skills
being responsible being good figuring
out how to get better ratcheting up
ratcheting up ratcheting it up until you
get to a level where now you can
actually reach
whatever that window is you're trying to
get through and then you make the
aggressive jump
that's interesting too and i relate to
it which is weird because i'm someone
who has like a calling like i i am a
writer i love writing that's my passion
at the same time there's lots of other
stuff that i do and i like doing what
what they all have in common i would say
is that i like to be in control of how
and when and why i do them right and so
to me that's where it comes down to this
idea of autonomy and sometimes i'll talk
to people and they'll be so much so
successful 10 times more successful with
me 100 times and i'll look at their life
and i'll be like
that sounds awful because they're in so
little control of their life you know
they've got a car waiting for them
downstairs they're scheduled down in the
five minute increments you know to me i
think what i actually like of all the
things that i do
is the ability to focus deeply on it so
whether i'm investing in something
whether i'm you know working outside on
my farm or whether i'm writing what i
like is not the specific con content
you're as you're saying but it's it's
the ability to concentrate and really
give myself fully over to it not
knowing that i have seven minutes to
finish this task or else i'm gonna get
in trouble
i found myself saying these words like i
can't want this for you more than you
want it for yourself
so what do you do when you are a fan of
someone you do want them to be
successful you are rooting for them
but they seem to be stuck in some sort
of trap of self-doubt or fear
or laziness or entitlement how do you
get people to rise to their level of
potential or excellence so you shake
them up but but shaking them up does
isn't necessarily a negative like
sometimes it's around it's about putting
them
in the right context so that they're
able to succeed at a higher level i work
with lots of college golf teams and one
of the things i like to do is i like to
take the teams a couple of weeks before
they you know have a big tournament i
like to put them on a course that
everyone's going to shoot 63 on and then
they go like wow like that felt really
good damn right and by the way it's not
going to be like that in a couple weeks
so that's the last time we're going to
do that but i'm going to pump you up i
want to shake you up i want to get your
confidence as high as i can get it as an
example or it might be that i just need
to put you in a situation where
you can demonstrate your skills and your
skills will be more rewarded not just by
me but by other people i want to create
a context by which you can come to see
yourself differently or at least see
yourself more like i see you i'll tell
you this i'll give an example i i have a
very talented person in our team and and
for whatever reason she goes in and out
of confidence well i had a very honest
conversation with her the other you know
about two or three weeks ago and and she
was shocked by it by the way um and i'll
tell you how it ended up but what i said
to her i took a chance and i said you
know i feel insulted by you and she said
what do you mean i said i have all this
confidence in you more than you have
confidence in in yourself but what
you're telling me when you lack
confidence to yourself is that i must be
stupid that my confidence is unfounded
that i must not be a good judge she said
it never occurred to me that you could
be insulted by my lack of low confidence
and i go i i think the world of you and
have invested a tremendous amount of
resource and here you are undermining
yourself and you're and you're basically
calling me stupid and she said seriously
and i said
not completely but mostly yeah and i
said you gotta stop it and believe it or
not that was the thing that shook her up
and now she goes listen if randall
thinks that i that highly of me i better
start getting on the on the train but at
the end of the day you gotta shake
people up because you can't let them
stay in this place where they are under
performing based on what they're capable
of because they simply lack a view or a
perspective or a context by which they
can assess themselves more objectively
the number one thing i tell the young
people i talk to they're like i have my
first job and i want advice i was like
you can't ever drop the ball on
something it's just you have to say this
is not an option if something comes onto
my radar it can never be an option that
i just like i'm just gonna let that one
go because i like everything will fall
apart if that's who you are you're gonna
be constantly bothered by the people
above you because they don't trust you
to get things done you will never build
a foundation in which you can take a
next step up so you should put all of
your energy reading david allen like
reading me like figuring out everything
you can to make sure you have very good
full capture and organization systems
that you're diligently reviewing nothing
gets forgotten like the number one thing
you can do in your first two years of
employment it's going to earn you
the ability now going forward to start
crafting your job more and more towards
what you're like i mean i tell people
here's a hack like one of the things you
should do early on in a new job
is say uh great i will get this to you
on wednesday and then whether or not you
have time to get that done by wednesday
or not write them on tuesday afternoon
and say ryan i'm sorry i just get to see
you wednesday the schedule got a little
tight so it'll it's going to be friday
morning i apologize and then and then
deliver on friday morning even if you
just delivered it on wednesday because
it shows that you are on top of your
stuff it's more important that people
realize like cal is on top of his stuff
he knows what's on his plate and to me
the opposite of that what's like the
death sentence is when they're like hey
i'm gonna get this to you by friday and
then you're like okay cool i'll see you
friday or whatever and then like
thursday night you hear what was the
password again and then you're like ah
you haven't touched it and now there's
problems now you need help you have just
shown me or whoever you're working for
that you're not only not on top of it
you don't feel obligated to be on top of
it that's like my number one advice
refuse to ever drop a ball if you want
