Every action you've taken in your life has led you to where you are right now. You can completely rework and rewire the fabric of your brain, so that you think differently When you change what you believe, you not only change what you have, you change who you are. The #1 Regret of people on their deathbed: “I wish I'd lived a life true to myself, not what other people wanted” 90% of the things we do every day for our businesses, only move the needle 10%.

While designing my Not Your Average Productivity Course, I discovered that most of the productivity courses out there are written by men! The teachings reflect this; they disregard domestic activity, as does the historical development of the 8-hour workday.   Learn about the history of the 8-hour workday, why it is sexist, and how to reframe your understanding of productivity. We discuss the importance of advocating for policy change and why your value is not linked to the amount you accomplish at work.   Get full show notes and more information here: https://www.mckoolcoaching.com/116   Ready to think differently about your productivity?

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Why didn't we get the four-hour workday?, published by jasoncrawford on January 6, 2023 on LessWrong. John Maynard Keynes famously predicted in 1930 that by now we would only be working fifteen hours a week. What is less well-known is that his was nowhere near the only such prediction, nor the first—a wide range of commentators, including Charles Steinmetz and Buckminster Fuller, made similar forecasts. (And even Keynes's prediction is generally misquoted.) Why didn't any of them come true? I recently discussed this with Jason Feifer on his podcast Build for Tomorrow. Here's some elaboration with more quotes and charts. The predictions A 1934 book, The Economy of Abundance, summarizes many of the predictions (Chapter 2): The technocrats promised every family on the continent of North America $20,000 a year [about $400,000 today], and a sixteen-hour work week. This is perhaps the peak of promises based on an abundance economy. Charles P. Steinmetz saw a two-hour working day on the horizon—he was the scientist who made giant power possible—but he stipulated no family budget total beyond “necessities and comforts.” . Fred Henderson, in his Economic Consequences of Power Production, is more specific: “Without any further increase in our knowledge of power and of technical processes, or of our available materials, we could multiply production ten times over if the needs of the world were permitted to express themselves in effective demand. . It would not be a question of an eight-hour day or a six-day week, but more probably of a six-months working year—which is already the rule for university dons.” Buckminster Fuller is still more definite. Modern man, he calculates, is 630 times more able than was Adam. Eliminating wasteful forms of work, four million Americans laboring fifty-two seven-hour days in the year (364 working hours, an average of one per day) “could keep up with every survival need”—meaning basic necessities for the whole population. Walter N. Polakov announces that “fifty weeks, four days, six hours is enough”—a twenty-four hour week and two weeks' vacation. Harold Rugg in The Great Technology estimates a possible minimum living standard between ten- and twenty-fold greater than the minimums of 1929, on a sixteen- to twenty-hour work-week. . One can continue to cite such evidence indefinitely. Fortunately, A. M. Newman has been collecting it for years and saves us the trouble by the following summary: “Among them [such estimates] a substantial agreement is found that by better use of the mechanical facilities at our disposal we could produce many times our present supply of goods at considerably less effort.” The five-hour day tends to be the maximum estimate in Mr. Newman's collection. As for Keynes, his essay “Economic Possibilities for our Grandchildren” wasn't even saying that a fifteen-hour work week would be necessary for production. He thought it would be necessary to satisfy our psychological need for work, implying that our physical needs could be satisfied with less (exactly how much less, he doesn't estimate): For many ages to come . everybody will need to do some work if he is to be contented. We shall do more things for ourselves than is usual with the rich today, only too glad to have small duties and tasks and routines. But beyond this, we shall endeavour to spread the bread thin on the butter—to make what work there is still to be done to be as widely shared as possible. Three-hour shifts or a fifteen-hour week may put off the problem for a great while. Why is the 40-hour work week still standard? Here are my hypotheses (not mutually exclusive): The predictions got the elasticity wrong When labor gets more productive, workers can choose to work less for the same real wage, to make more money by working the same amount, or something in betwee...

In this episode, David sits down to speak with Monsui Tek, the host of the Stuff They Should Have Taught You in School podcast, to record a joint show. Monsui is also a property investor and entrepreneur. Together they discuss what they are working on now and some of the lessons they have learned from being in business.Their discussion includes how to break negative cycles, learn from bad situations, and leverage what you know and have. As well as why you need to be a continuous learner, including when it comes to building a strong mindset.KEY TAKEAWAYS Collaborating with the competition enables you both to learn and thrive. Giving of yourself helps you as much as it helps others. If you want to get somewhere else in life, you have to do something different from what you have been doing. School should never be the end of your education. It is your responsibility to continue to educate yourself. If you do not make a plan for your life. You will have someone else's priorities put on you. You can learn as much, if not more, from a tough situation as you can from a good one. Breaking the cycle is the only way out of a downward spiral. You genuinely can learn to deal with anything. It may be stressful, but when you are pragmatic there is always a path through. Take control. Accept it is down to you. Do what you can to solve your problems. Look after yourself, exercise, meditate, understand your purpose, have a plan, and put aside time to do enough to achieve your personal goals. Your purpose does not have to be related to your job. Exploring your gifts is a fantastic way to uncover your reason for your purpose. BEST MOMENTS‘Collaboration is the new competition. Why go against each other when you can work together and actually make something a lot bigger,'‘Take ultimate responsibility. Where you are right now, whether you like it or not, is because of you.'‘We've all got the opportunity to create an upward spiral, instead of a downward spiral.'EPISODE RESOURCESStuff They Should Have Taught You In School Podcast / https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/id1518625143Tony Robbins Priming / https://www.tonyrobbins.com/ask-tony/priming/The 5 Hour Workday by Nimish Desai / https://www.amazon.co.uk/5-Hour-Workday-Nimish-Desai-ebook/dp/B09RKFFW5X/ABOUT THE SHOWPeople with purpose make a difference.

What worked and what failed in a brilliant experiment to increase productivity, income, and quality time.ABOUT STEPHANStephan Aarstol founded beach lifestyle inspired, direct to consumer eBike brand Tower Electric Bikes in 2018. This is a diversified sister company tacked onto established direct to consumer SUP company Tower Paddle Boards, the most searched brand name in paddle boards, which after funded by Mark Cuban on ABC's Shark Tank in 2021 went on to become one of the biggest success stories in the history of the show. In 2014, Tower was named the fastest growing private company in San Diego and the following year they ranked #239 on the INC 500 list of America's fastest growing companies. To date, under the guidance of CEO Stephan Aarstol, they have done well over $40 Million in sales and their growth continues. Stephan has been an internet business executive since 1999, and founded his first DTC company in 2003. He speaks regularly at Harvard discussing the HBS case study "Selling on Amazon at Tower Paddle Boards," and he and his company were highlighted by Jeff Bezo's himself in Walter Isaacson's latest book on Bezo's titled “Invent & Wander”. Stephan earned an MBA from the University of San Diego in 1999, and today is in their Alumni Hall of Honor. In 2019, he was named Entrepreneur of the Year at his undergrad alma mater, Western Washington University.In 2015, to challenge long held delusions about unhealthy start-up work culture, Stephan moved his whole company to a 5-hour workday and would later write a book titled “The Five Hour Workday” about the experience, which would spread the idea to tens of millions of people worldwide, and get press in over 20 countries (New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, and more). He was subsequently hailed, "The World's Best Boss" by Hamburg Germany's #2 newspaper, MorgenPost, and "America's Best Boss" by the UK's Daily Mail. In 2017 Stephan was named to Our City's 2017 list of the Top 10 Most Influential Business Leaders in San Diego.Tower was named to Internet Retailer's 2016 "Hot 100" list of the world's most innovative e-retailers, and while a relatively recent entrant into the booming electric bike market, Tower and founder Stephan Aarstol's proven record of success in the contemporary direct to consumer (“DTC”) brand world will surely lead to them taking a leading brand position within in the market over the coming decade. In addition to his Shark Tank appearance, Stephan has been featured nationally on CNN Money, CNBC's Power Lunch, the Huffington Post, ABC's Beyond the Tank, Fox & Friends, 20/20, Fortune Magazine, People Magazine, and the Adam Corrolla Show. He's been widely published in business centric periodicals including: Fast Company, Entrepreneur, INC, Forbes, the Washington Post, and more.

Listen now to find out how his experiment turned out when it came to employee retention and employee engagement. Host Justin Dux  

Have you ever heard of the concept, "Eat the frog"? Eat the frog is basically, do the one thing that you really don't want to do first thing in the morning. So for a lot of us that is working out, and so I'm just a big believer. Here is a time system that works for success. Nicole's guest is Dr. Bruce Lund. He's here to get us started on the successful method of a four-hour work day by starting from the moment your feet hit the floor - the first 90 minutes, then going into the next 30 minutes. Some of the point covered are: Physical activity of some type, then move into the walk and talks later in the day after a light lunch. Stimulating the mind by feeding it helpful information from people and resources you admire and trust, market stats you can share that will show you are of value to your followers and clients, inspirational tips, mediations. Rely on people of influence rather than people of interest to inspire you. Get the ego out of it. Practicing gratitude for at least 10 minutes a day. This can be making a list, or making a call. Who is on your call list? Who is in your database? Take care of your time, your hear, body, mind and spirit by thinning out that list and putting them in the correct buckets.  You attracting high-maintenance people that commoditize you? They will ZAP you. Listen to get the rest of the actionable items to take care of you, and then that will help you increase your success in all corners of your life. ----more---- A bit about Dr. Bruce: All top performers have a great coach, teacher, or mentor who holds them accountable to their goals and reaches their potential faster. Having coached thousands of salespeople over the past decade and helping build a multi-million dollar business, he knows this is especially true in the sales world.  Because of these beliefs, he helps salespeople in commoditized industries increase productivity and double their production without the years and years of overwhelming frustration.

What would life look like today if you had a 5-hour workday? ​Recent current events​ have really forced us ​ALL​ to rethink how much work we can actually accomplish these days, eh?

My special guest today is Trevor Blake and he's simplifying how to structure your ​new 5-hour workday. Funny enough, we recorded this episode just days before things really started escalating FAST with ​the Coronavirus​... but the simple-to-try-out principles apply now, more than ever before. So, if you're cramming in homeschooling or other responsibilities on your shoulders these days, you may ​only ​have 5 hours that you can devote to your work today. Guys, it's no longer a pipe-dream to work less... ​it's a necessity to keep sane. So I hope today's conversation brings you some new ideas on how to structure it all, especially if the idea of working from home and/or doing things virtually via video calls these days is all new territory for you. My special guest today is Trevor Blake and he's simplifying how to structure your 5-hour workday. We tackle all aspects of it, including: ●  What we can learn from Victorian times “village culture” ●  How to shift from corporate 9-to-5 mentality to working from home and being your own boss ●  The very best ways to structure your 5-hour workday and how to create strong boundaries on your work and home office Episode sponsored by...
