Don't edit. - [[80-20 rule]] - [[Exhaustive effort isn't required for success. Efficient effort is.]] ## Notes - Have a short checklist. Make sure basic necessities are met (e.g. hunger). If you're anxious, double check caffeine intake. ### 80/20 analysis - Trap thoughts on paper - 1. What are the 20% of activities/people that are producing the **80% of results** that I want? (Positive emotional state) - 2. What are the 20% of activities/people that are producing the **80% of pain** that I don't want? (Negative emotional states). - 3. [[What would this look like if it were easy?]] - We were conditioned to believe that **extreme effort** is required to be successful. This isn't the case. - "If you had a gun to your head. Given a week to do something. How would you do it?". That gets rid of a lot of fluff. - How can I [[Exchange resources for results]]? How can I delegate? - "90% of what you write down will be ludicrous.". This is what you want. - "I don't have to do it the hard way." ## Original ![[How to cope with feeling unfocused or overwhelmed..jpg]]
