Many of us face the day with a million things on our to-do list...
...But how do we determine what's truly important and what's just there because we think it's important?
Or how about this, how do we spend less time on having to work so damn hard getting little results and spend more time on the things that will propel you forward?
If you've ever found yourself asking yourself that, you'll love today's episode.
I know I've fallen victim to the illusion of the to-do list. There's value perceived in being busy, but I believe there's a way to cut that never ending list of things to do in half and trim it to the things that are most important.
Watch today's episode and I'll share with you a simple two step process of how I use the 80/20 principle to be more productive.
Now, before I head off, have you ever felt like you were overwhelmed with things you "felt" like you had to do? What did you do about it to prioritize?
Share your experience below and be as specific as you can be. Your experience and story could give someone the valuable insight they need.
This question plagued me when I first started on my journey to a healthy active lifestyle.
Some people checkout all the fitness advice they can get, but there's nothing exact to follow. At most, they're quick fixes, but they're nothing sustainable.
I thought I was doing everything right, I was exercising like crazy and eating less, but I still had this chubby little belly that just wouldn't go away. Until I switched my focus.
On today's episode of EmeroyTV you'll learn the four simple steps that can get you on the road to losing that belly weight!
Now it's your turn!
Have you struggled to lose belly fat? Which of these strategies seemed to resonate with you the most? Do you have any of your own strategies to lose belly fat?
I'd love to hear what helped you the most, either from this episode or in your own journey.
Wherever you're currently at in your journey, your story and experience could be something someone need to hear and can really make a difference.
Thank you for sharing!
All the best,
Emeroy
P.S. - This Episode of EmeroyTV was released a week early! I would love to hear your feedback!
I absolutely LOVE to read.
There are a million books that I would love to read.
Particularly in the area of personal development, business, psychology, coaching, personal finances, fitness, philosophy, and marketing.
While there are many books that I love to read for pleasure, sometimes we just want to get to the point with what we're reading.
There is the option of speed reading, which I believe is a great investment in time, but not everyone has the patience to pick up a new skill.
After reading The 80/20 Principle by Richard Koch I applied this trick recently to be able to read 2 books in 4 hours. While I'm sure that this isn't much to those are avid readers and/or speed readers, I was successfully able to extract the information I wanted from these books compared to other books that have taken me days to weeks to complete. (If you don't know what the 80/20 Principle is, I'll be talking about it in a future post.)
So how can you get the information you need from any book without having to spend time learning a new skill and read it at a snail-like pace? Here's how.
80/20 Reading
First off, these steps are not meant for books of personal enjoyment such as fiction books.
This strategy is meant for nonfiction content books.
The idea is simple, 20% of the book contains the information you need, while the other 80% is all just case studies and fluff. It can be used to extract the main points and ideas of non fiction books, it gives you the ability to learn more in 20% of the time it takes most peple to read the entire book.
1. Know what type of information you are looking for. This limits you getting caught in other useless information you don't need. The clearer you in have in what you want to learn, the more relentless you will be in eliminating the unnecessary.
2. Look though the Table of Contents. Get an idea of what kind of information the book has. At this point you have 1 of 2 options. Read the book buffet style an pick and choose which chapters you want to read or begin with the first chapter.
3. Read the conclusion if the book has one or last 3 paragraphs first. Most of the points discussed in the chapter can be found here. As mentioned, most of the information here is covered in the chapter but covered with case studies and examples.
4. Read the introduction. This portion of the book provides important questions, overview, and points of the chapter.
5. Reread the conclusion. Get clearer with the information that this chapter holds.
6. Scan through everything in between and pick out the information you want. If the section so happens to truly interest you, read it through.
Watch out for Lists - Look for keywords such as "5 key points..." The information listed may be separated into sections.
Pay Attention to the Sub-Headings - This shows the evolution of the idea.
Take notes or highlight. My personal favorite method of taking notes is reading the paragraph and summarizing it into one sentence.
8. Put the book away and write a one paragraph summary of the chapter or a one page summary of the book: This part is excruciatingly important as it allows you to truly internalize the information. You'll absorb the information deeply when you have to access it from your own brain compared to looking back at the book. This will be your feedback of how much you've learned, and more often not, it's much more than you realize.
The Key Thing
As I said earlier, this is not meant for books that are meant to be read for pleasure.
With only so much time and so many things to do, unless your reading for pleasure, I suggest applying those steps above. Not only will you be able to read through much of the books you want, you'll save a lot more time.
