5 Rules to Speed up Progress in Life:

You know some people are a million years ahead while it seems like you’re stuck In the slow lane although time has passed your life hasn’t changed that much in The Last 5 Years and realistically.

It’s unlikely you’ll catch a break in the next five if you keep going at the pace you are right now the life you envision for yourself will just be a wish you once had other people have they’re getting substantially more done than you are that’s because they know Something you don’t but you’re about to learn it by the end of this article you’ll learn how to make 5 years’ worth of progress in just one here’s how to make progress faster in life.

Pick only one goal & brainwash yourself:

Number one you pick only one goal and you brainwash yourself into believing it’s achievable at the core of any form of achievement is belief many people have dreams and wishes that they know deep down are not going to happen so they default to luck and look okay luck is not a strategy it doesn’t have to be believable to everyone else you have to believe that you can get there.

Define it clearly write it down look at the goal daily to keep yourself locked in it turns out that we as humans are actually really good at getting what we want if only we know what it is once a purpose is set and a goal is defined every choice you make should be aligned with it.

The progress will come from getting closer to the goal it’ll probably not be a linear path but making the decisions that get you closer in any shape proximity to it increases the chances of you making it so get yourself closer where most people fail and get stuck is

when they pick two goals that are in opposite directions a step closer to one of them will take you a step further away from the other in a panic you take a step back to remedy it you just made two steps each one took effort both were oriented towards your goals but if you look at the map you’re back to where you started if there’s one thing to remember.

Alexis, it is this speed that comes from Focus not force.

One source of truth:

Number two find one source of Truth research it and commit to it fully you’re smart enough to distinguish between  what has a higher probability of success and what is clear right okay so find a source of Truth this means a voice a mentor an example of someone who did what you’re about to do deconstruct their actions learn their playbook and follow in the footsteps that they’ve already made since their actions led to your desired outcome chances are that following the same.

Playbook will at least help you to make substantial progress in the right direction don’t change plans don’t chase after shortcuts just trust the process and put your hours in the truth is that most plans are good enough plans.

If you just stick with them for long enough where most people fail or slowdown in life is they begin a plan and then decide to change it part way through we got rich because we were dumb enough to believe everything we read in business books we committed fully and it turns out those people were right.

Double the daily effort for 8x the outcome:

Number three you double the daily effort for eight times the outcome no matter how dumb you are or how poor you are or how unmotivated you if you just double the volume of daily effort you should see at least a 50% increase in your results.

But if you’re really smart if you’re excited and you begin to acquire the right tools if you double the effort something weird happens the outcome doesn’t double its increases four to eight times in the medium-term why because you have less time to be distracted to waste your resources on crap that doesn’t contribute to your future effort compounds

When you reinvest the extra income you acquire tools that now give you the same output per hour as before but in only half the time if you double your effort daily it

Won’t be long until you double your hourly output double the output and double the time you’re now making progress four times faster.

When you approach life with this amount of volume you’ll learn twice as fast as everybody else because you’re encountering more situations that are how doubling your Effort gets 8X the results.

Remind yourself what you run from and what you’re running towards:

Number four you remind yourself what you run from and what you’re running toward just focusing on the first three numbers on this list is enough to get you some real progress You’ll see it in your bottom line and your bank account because you’ve made some progress you’ll begin to slow down.

When you slow down Temptation Creeps in Shiny objects will try to lure you away from your past getting back on the horse is a lot harder than never getting off that horse in the first place so you need an easy and effective way to be self-motivated that’s when you remind yourself what the big goal is what you’re running toward you visualize.

What your life will be like when you get there the impact it’ll have on your life and into the lives of those you love, this gives an initial push but not enough to get you lifted off to drive this home you dig deep into yourself and you realize what you’re running from and what your life would be like if you didn’t take action that everything you know you can become will never come to be you will live your life with the regret and disappointment of never becoming what you knew you could be your peers will move on your Idols will get further and further.

You will sink into mediocrity as a result you’ll become bitter and angry at the world finding excuses and blaming everyone else but you your family and your friends will start to resent you for it and you’ll find it painful to just be spiraling down, in that case, the only value you’ll add to the world is that your children will grow up with your failure as an example, of what not to do in life, that’s what you’re running from that’s the difference between getting back to work to make your dreams happen and simply not taking action at all.

Win the day before the day starts:

Number five wins the day before the day starts now there are two kinds of people in the world those who Wing the day and those who plan the day those who plan the day outperform the rest on every metric possible by a massive margin okay those who plan the day are more productive.

They get more done in a day they’re exponentially more likely to find long-term success in their professional and personal life they’re better adjusted and emotionally stable they’re less likely to be depressed anxious or feel lost and they achieve much higher levels of work-life balance.

What planning does is remove friction from your life so here’s a simple example it’s easier to go for a run in the morning if you get your shoes and outfit ready by the door the night before if everything is set up for you to just do it you’re less likely to chicken out or find an excuse not to this is your routine and the discipline to schedule the day the night before is a game Cher you no longer have to fight against that little voice in your head.

Because once you’re out that door you might as well run right you might as well work out you might as well get some work done you might read or write those pages start with focusing your mind if your mind knows what it should focus on that little voice quiets down a lot so does the the hardest thing you can do early in the day.

If you can already win the day before 11:00 a.m. everything else you do will be extra progress this is called eating the Frog you know what moves the needle forward and what are just maintainers uploading a new product to your store is superior to just checking in on the numbers or answering emails pay off your dues before everything else the experts call this time blocking.

Where you begin to segment your day in time slots specifically dedicated to action items we start every day with a coffee and a daily lock session and immediately after we jump head-first into the highest priority task that we’ve selected the day before this is how we win the morning in the first half of our day by the time 1 p.m. rolls around we’ve already shipped or delivered what most people would consider a day’s worth of work from 1:00 to 6:00 p.m. anything that we weren’t able to ship or get done will just accelerate our progress.

We can give it our Focus because we no longer have the pressure of the big thing looming over us, 6 to 8 is family time religiously for over a decade before we Plan the day and week before the biggest problem is you’ll be so productive that at some point you’ll struggle to find high-priority tasks to tackle in the first half of the day you can make yourself happier by keeping a gratitude journal and reflecting on what you’re learning to learn specific skills or techniques from experts who’ve spent their entire lives perfecting their craft it takes 15 minutes in the morning to get all of this set up in a way where you dramatically increase your chances of success.
