  1. if it hasn't been mention before i personal think the best solution may be to fix it at the core of the problem it may be hard but I don't think quick fixes are going to solve it in the long run and even with quick fixes the main problem is still likely to be there ): but the good news is that ones its fixed its no longer a problem for you and you don't have to think about it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijSng_X9soc&t=507s so if there is specific areas you feel uncomfortable the best option may be to make them a non-issue
  2. How to get started in digital marketing, any tips and tricks from gurus? "Do deliberate pratice and deep work" Tell me which skills are the most demanded in the future. "rarer and valuable skills" if you have the most common skills unfortunately it may be easy to replace you by someone with rarer and valuable skills interview experts in your field to get a deeper understanding of it i highly recomend checking out scott h young and cal newport they have a lot of valuable information related to career i think the biggest mistake i made when i first wanted to play piano in 2006 was that I didn't research how to become an expert in the field and only did it about 10-12 years after i could very likely have achieved much more and faster with out losing quiality with what i know now than what i knew then which was basically nothing it's likely those 10-12 years was wasted because I didn't know much about expertise what I achived in those years could probably achived in 3 or less if you know the right tools to do it some good books that is based on evidence is so good they can't ignore you, deep work, by cal newport top performer course by cal newport and scott h young Peak performance by anders ericksson(the expert on expert) Rapid learner by scott h young, how to become a straigt a student by cal newport
  3. @George Fil i would personally recomend to stick with one thing you like and find meaning full and then get really good at it instead of switching to a new job
  4. one of the hardest workest I am aware of is elon musk in the present and in the past maybe theodore roosevelt cal newport talk about that he would create artificial deadlines that drastically reduce the amount of time he have to accomplish hes goal so he have to work much more intensely to get it done with zero time wasted (if it usually take him a week maybe set it to a day to get it done) btw it wasn't just 10000 hours alone but it was deliberate pratice that made them master what they did you could spend 10000 hours but it doesn't mean it leads to mastery i have spend probably 10000 hours playing piano since 2006 but i am no master at it most likely because of the lack of deliberate pratice
  5. Make it a habit same time everyday and for the same amount of time doing it everyday and add routine and rituals maybe wake up early and go to bed earlier so you get enough sleep and meditate in the morning so you can do it when you are awake and little chance of falling asleep
  6. sorry but i don't think Leo is the best example as he is sort of trying to produce a lot of value which is a craftman mindset look at all the content he have, life purpose course, booklist, youtube channel it answer the question i said before which is: how much value do you produce? even if he may have or may not have going down this path unconsciously if you just are doing your life purpose how easy would you be to be replaced in the economy by someone who was aiming to be so good they can't ignore you? cal newport should have said that the passion mindset can work but its extremely rarer cases even if it does bring you passion you may not be that much value to the economy, if one where to pick a composer for a film wouldn't it be more likely they wanted john Williams than someone who may just have started and find joy doing it if they had the opportunity? to be so good they can't ignore you you need rarer and valuable skills which is where you have to look outside in the external world(not inwards) to figure out what matters in your career, I am sorry but science is very specific it doesn't just work some of the time or just when you want it to unless disproven by other evidence of course
  7. @Ether sorry but I don't think that how it works at least if you are going with the scientific approach actually some of the research says that you should search in the external world not inwards for figuring out what matters in your career (rarer and valuable skills you can't find rarer and valuable skills by looking inwards) and then get really good at them at a career you find meaning full unfortenly those who follow what calls a passion mindset(what does the world offer me, looking for passion first without work) are likely to search a long time for something less rewarding and end up less happy than those who follow a craftman mindset(how much valuable do you produce? Or how can I improve what i do) by not doing any work towards becoming better you are likely to end up less happy because where would you get satisfaction from? The research shows that we get satisfaction from being good at something and how much are you likely to offer the world doing what you love if you don't have anything to offer? i highly recommend reading so good they can't ignore you by cal newport for more details he also talks about dream job what i think he should call control(how much control do you have over what you do) the goal is to end up with passion in what you do but by the research it shows that the passion comes after as a side effect not before(likely by being good at something)
  8. if it hasn't been suggested yet this could be an option
  9. i think non obvious time wasters could be a trap because they a non obvious you don't think of them immediately as something that could waste time a few examples could be chasing quick fixes or looking for a magic solution where you don't have to do any work, the danger of this one is that it feels like you are actually doing some positive progress towards what you are trying to achieve but its just goes on and on and one you are likely to find a solution but its not going to be a magic solution where you have to skip doing work and another example could be avoiding feeling difficult emotions they might end up taking up much more time than if you had fully feel them with zero resistance 24/7 or for example instead of never finishing what you started you always skip to the next project half way if you never finish the projects you may keep going around in a circle
  10. Agree but if you know the things to aviod and what you should eat more of (not just eating "blindfolded") it could probably be beneficial to your health but if there is something more healthy than vegan it's probably worth looking into thanks for the suggestion @Slade
  11. I have considered being a vegan but mostly because of the healthy benefits i mean it's important to take care of your self for the sake of doing so otherwise you are likely to end up unhealthy (obviously) and that can have bad consequences on your life
  12. i personally think it helps to really embrace single tasking or working on one thing at a time
  13. I think it's possible but it depends on how you approach how you do it I recommend checking out scott h young he is trying to learn everything and cal newport have some good method on how to do it like deep work scott h young also have some good methods like ultra learning, rapid learner and top performer I also recommend checking out deliberate pratice
  14. deliberate practice not the same as practice but one of the most effective way to practice some studies shows that this is how you become world-class or a part of it, getting good at rarer and valuable skills and deep work
  15. something else that may be important to mention is that deep work is a skill that you can improve its not something you just can change from one day to the other and be extremely good at but if you practice deep work you should be able to get to the levels where you produce this kind of massive productivity the good news at least from experience is that it seems it doesn't take a while for the brain to be bored(its required to be bored to do deep work to aviod attention residue and so the relevent neruons to what you do can fire faster) and get your mind to focus on the required intensity for deep work maybe around 3 days with zero distractions and without checking the internet(at all) may get you on the way
  16. @Raphael flow can be productivity but in deep work cal newport (or somewhere else) says that flow doesn't lead to improvement it's probably fine for just productivity but deep work, is not the feeling of flow and can be uncomfortable but the advantage of deep work is that it produces a massive amount of high-quality work in a shorter period of time and that can give you satisfaction afterwards (not during or before but after thats how i understood it) flow state may produce work from the skills you already have deep work is what improve your skills/knowlegde
  17. agree with dude deep work is awesome for productivity, an alternative is ultra learning and deliberate practice(but mostly for learning related) single-tasking is really effective and blocking time especially for productivity as if it were a dentist appointment especially if you can make it a habit and add routines and rituals but also make sure you get enough recovery so you can continue in the long run without burning out
  18. nice topic some of the best techniques i have found is: fully feel every single emotions with zero resistance 24/7, taking deep breath and focus on relaxing to reduce stress in a place of isolation, deliberate practice to improve skills, deep work for improving focus, work smart/effectively and hard, to avoid burnout take breaks as seriously as your work (plan your breaks) learn how to learn to learn more effectively, bite the bullet/do the emotional hard thing(sometimes there is just no way around it if you want something), take 100% responsibility, be 100% authentic/honest, take massive action, embrace single tasking don't multitask, be so good they can't ignore you, for long term goals maybe try to minimize everything else and just focus on it as if it was a life style (goals that can be years long to achive) if you feel like you still could have worked harder on something you probably didn't work as hard as you should (If the goal is to work hard) when wanting to achive a goal create a project and balance between pratice and theory learn from people who already have achieved what you want, that is some of the things i have found so far
  19. the title says it all differential analysis seems to be an interesting tool to figure out what matters for success it could, for example, help you making a project successful for example if you want to lose weight you could find somebody who already was in a similar situation as you but has already accomplished the goal and then find someone else to compare it to who also was in a similar situation but wasn't as successful and then figure out what the key was to success(should be the diffrence between the two likely if it seems to be the same case with more examples) and then create a project afterward where the chance is likely to be more successful as you know the key to success if you did it right
  20. I would recommend to build one habbit at a time and if possible do the habbit at the same time each time you have to do them so you minimize the willpower you have to use to go in the habbit. it's should definitely be an effective method to be productive in what you do
  21. It doesn't have to be meaningless if your good at your craft at something you find meaningful(people like elon musk and albert einstein seems to have achieved it) i recomend checking out the books I mentioned above for more information and understanding why the craft/skills are important there is a lot of information in the interviews so you don't necessarily have to buy the books
  22. Sorry but to get happiness or more acurate satisfaction is whats more likely to come after you have gotten good at something definitely not before starting getting good at your skills/craft (you can still be happy etc before but then it's probably not related to your life purpose) what or how much do you have to offer with your life purpose if you aren't good at your craft?
