Deep WorkDeep Work Full Chapter Brief The rapid development of Internet technology and smart products has provided people with a lot of convenience. Meanwhile, all kinds of notifications and messages mean people's working time has become highly fragmented. The author keenly points out that more than 60% of knowledge workers' work time is spent on shallow work. This type of work not only yields limited output value but also permanently reduces people's capacity to work deeply! This book describes how to train the brain to eliminate distractions, improve deep work ability, and create more value. Overview | Chapter 1Hi, welcome to Bookey. Today, we will unlock the book Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World. If you probe into the experiences of some prominent figures in history, you will find that deep work is pivotal to their success in their respective fields. American author Mark Twain's masterpiece, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, was mostly done in a shed at the Quarry Farm in New York. His workplace, the shed was so far from the main house where his family lived that they had to call him to dinner by blowing a horn. The theoretical physicist Peter Higgs worked in a nearly secluded environment and refused to use a computer. When Higgs won the Nobel Prize, journalists couldn't even locate him. The novelist J.K. Rowling would stay away from social media while writing Harry Potter. For the first year and a half after opening her Twitter account, she posted only one tweet: "This is the real me, but you won't be hearing from me often I'm afraid, as pen and paper is my priority at the moment." Unlike these highly influential figures, more and more knowledge workers are straying away from deep work. FranklinCovey, a company specializing in training to improve organizational and personal effectiveness, has tracked more than 350,000 employees worldwide. According to its findings, these employees have wasted 40% of their work time on things that don't matter. In this speed first web-centric era, people have embraced the Internet and remain instantly connected. Knowledge workers dedicate most of their work time to emails, meetings, and social media, yet their essential tasks have been delayed. In this business environment, how can we yield valuable results and stand out in the workplace? In an age of highly fragmented working time, the approach to deep work proposed in Deep Work makes even more sense. It helps ordinary people become the winners of today's age. In the meantime, we can get gratification from deep work. While arguing for the importance of deep work, Deep Work also provides a systematic way to train our brains to eliminate distractions. Furthermore, the book helps us improve our ability to think deeply and thus create more value. The author, Cal Newport, received his Ph.D. in computer science from MIT and is currently an associate professor of computer science at Georgetown University. He is also a bestselling author. Besides this book, Newport's bestselling works also include How to Win at College: Surprising Secrets for Success from the Country's Top Students, How to Become a Straight-A Student, How to Be a High School Superstar: A Revolutionary Plan to Get into College by Standing Out, and So Good They Can't Ignore You: Why Skills Trump Passion in the Quest for Work You Love. He is also the founder of the popular blog Study Hacks, which is dedicated to decoding success patterns in work and study. In this Bookey session, we will look at how ordinary people can be the winners of our time by looking at the following three parts: Part One: Why do we need deep...

In this episode, my friend Colleen and I discuss our history of being high-achievers in academic settings, and how that influenced our mentalities about self-worth, academic pursuits, and more. Listen as we talk about how to "game" the exam system, how we feel about about the education system at large, and how mediocrity might be alright, after all. Other fun topics include "pseudointellectuality" and "gifted child syndrome." This episode is a chill, candid conversation between two friends who are just a little jaded with life's circumstances. 

Today's guest in the Mads Singers Management Podcast is none other than the sales evangelist, Donald C. Kelly! Donald runs an organization called The Sales Evangelist, where he and his team create a podcast and other business resources. He used to be a software sales rep who was very successful in his career. Donald shared what was working for him and enabled him to get coaching opportunities, speaking opportunities, and even consulting to companies where it grew. Now Donald has 14 individual teams where they do consult and sales training with their clients. He is also the host of The Sales Evangelist Podcast, where he and his team product podcasts for their clients.Although it's common for business owners to pass the torch to the next generation to focus on more critical business tasks, it cannot be successful if one does not delegate duties and responsibilities effectively. Effective delegation enables business owners, and managers must be able to plan efficiently.While the pandemic has allowed more people and businesses to be flexible, it has also made more people become easily distracted because many people are working from their homes and can easily be pulled into rabbit holes. Donald shares his top 3 things on how people can manage their time better: (1.) Focus on the essential things on your list first (2.) Breaking down your time to 15 to 30 minutes to get things done, allowing room for error, and lastly (3.) Allowing yourself to have time for fun.While the new normal may seem scary for most people, we can take small steps to improve our quality of life, whether at work or at home. While a schedule can help fast track a project or close a business deal, entrepreneurs shouldn't focus on how much time is being spent on a particular task or project but rather on the output instead. Of course, you'll need to communicate this clearly with your staff or team members.Key Learning Points: Donald shares his top 3 tips on how business owners can manage their time efficiently:  (1) Planning and categorizing your days, (2) Give yourself 15-30 minutes chunks of time and giving yourself room for error, and (3) Have time for yourself to have fun and plan your day before. - 06:31 Mads agrees that many business owners and entrepreneurs tend to do too many things for their business, but it doesn't help their business move or grow at all - 11:26 Mads adds that people should know and focus on their core priorities and make sure that they work on things or tasks that help move them closer to their goals.- 12:06  Donald says that business owners shouldn't push something off to a person if they don't know what's supposed to be done. - 12:38 Mads says that it's better to delegate the things you don't know to other people when growing a big business instead of figuring it out by yourself. - 13:59 Mads says that too many people focus on the process instead of the outcome - 19:30 Donald says that while we can fill up our calendars, it's essential to use your time effectively and allow some room for error. - 24:12 Donald adds that people should do a daily recap when their work ends to be ready for the next day. - 24:24 Donald shares that it's essential for business owners and managers to plan a fun time for themselves and their team, especially with the world dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic and adjusting to a new normal in life. - 25:06 Donald says that it's essential for you to nurture this culture to your team or staff, especially with many working remotely, so that things will flow more smoothly. - 26:53 Resources Mentioned:15 Secrets Successful People Know About Time Management: The Productivity Habits of 7 Billionaires, 13 Olympic Athletes, 29 Straight-A Students, and 239 Entrepreneurs by Kevin Kruse The 12 Week Year: Get More Done in 12 Weeks than Others Do in 12 Months by Brian P.

My son was a straight A student for 3 straight quarters this school year. Then I got a 4th quarter progress report with four F's on it.

Ariel was a straight A student in high school. In college, she worked two jobs to pay her way through school.

Listen in as she shares her story and how deciding not to go back to college was a strategic business decision.Notes:Want to get in touch and/or support Ariel? LinkedInWant to get in touch with NoDegree?Listen to more podcast episodes hereFollow and/or connect with Jonaed Iqbal on LinkedInFollow NoDegree on LinkedIn,  Facebook and InstagramRemember, no degree?

When you do the work to manage your mind, you learn to become the observer of your thoughts. Half the battle is remembering you are not your thoughts, your thoughts are your perception and not necessarily fact, you don't have to believe your thoughts, and you can choose whether to keep them or to think something more useful. The other part is remembering that your thoughts are responsible for the results you create or don't create in your life.When we understand this concept, we can change the direction of our lives. It just requires commitment and intentionality to take full responsibility and ownership for our thoughts, feelings, actions, and results.But because we're human, and because our brains can process up to 70,000 thoughts per day, it's easy to forget we have these amazing tools, particularly when we're in the middle of mind drama.In this episode, I offer a way to use habit building principles to keep mindset practices at the forefront of our thinking when we need them most. Borrowing heavily from James Clear's four-step model to building good habits, I share how we can use his Cue, Craving, Response, and Reward framework to automate the practice of mindset work so we can minimize the time we lose to mind drama that could be spent creating the results we want most in life.Cited in Podcast:Article:Take a Deep Breath.

In this episode, you'll hear from José Ruiz, a San Francisco native born to Nicaraguan parents who early on instilled in him the importance of college education. He is a senior at Seattle University currently majoring in Strategic Communication. As a first-generation student, José realized that he was a bit older than most of his peers, as a result of a three-year break he took from school, but was excited to be back. The perceived lack of students of color on campus also made it difficult for him to find his community. He credits his professors at the Department of Communication who've made him feel like "I belong, and I have talent, and I'm in the right department."

In this Episode I talk about 3 Secrets, 3 ways how to change your studying Game according to studies in order to be a straight A student.

We’re living in a time of exciting technological innovation. But just because technology can do something for us, doesn’t mean that it should. Cal Newport is author of the new book Digital Minimalism: Choosing a Focused Life in a Noisy World. Digital Minimalism is a philosophy of using the power of technology only in the ways it serves us best, while eliminating use of technology in ways it harms us, or even in ways it only has a marginal benefit. Aside from Digital Minimalism, Cal Newport is an extremely prolific author. He’s written books such as So Good They Can’t Ignore You, Deep Work, and How to Become a Straight-A Student. He’s a tenured computer science professor at Georgetown University. Cal has accomplished all of this in spite of – or maybe because – he’s never had a single social media account. This is a fantastic conversation with Cal. He and I overlap a lot in our interests, so I was very eager to discuss with him the implications of technology usage, and also to dig deeper into his relationship with Deep Work. As you know if you listen to Love Your Work regularly, I’m always searching for ways to get more out of my mind, and to maintain a healthy relationship with technology that helps me get more creative work into the world, without distracting me from doing that creative work. In this conversation, you’ll learn: How did we all get so addicted to Facebook? For many of us, it was an accident. For Facebook, it was no accident. How do Amish communities survive, despite being surrounded by a world with a rapid pace of technological innovation? It’s all about using technology for its benefits, without damaging the community. Cal goes beyond "Deep Work” to talk about the different “flavors” of Deep Work he uses to power his wildly successful career as both an academic and an author.

1. When you need someone to faithfully implement your time-tested policies and procedures, hire a straight-A student.This is what we know about them: A. They bought into the educational system, believed its promises, and played by its rules. B. They have demonstrated obedience, compliance, and conformity. C. They have obvious respect for authority. And these are not bad things. 2. When you need to innovate, improvise or reinvent, hire a rascal.1This is what we know about them: A. They mistrust the system, laugh at its promises, and make up their own rules. B. They have demonstrated disobedience, defiance, and abnormity. C. They have obvious respect for alternative thinking. Steve Jobs was a rascal with an unimpressive résumé. When Steve applied for a job at Hewlett-Packard in 1977, they rejected him because he had dropped out of Reed College in 1972. “Quitters never win.” That's the traditional wisdom. Ask any high school football coach. And Steve Jobs was definitely a quitter. Jan Koum was a bonafide rascal. When he was 20, his ex-girlfriend got a restraining order against him. He later said, “I am ashamed of the way I acted, and ashamed that my behavior forced her to take legal action”. Jan Koum was also a quitter. Facebook refused to hire him in 2008 because he had dropped out of San Jose State. Here's what was on Jan's resume for the previous year: “I traveled around South America playing ultimate frisbee.” I can almost see that HR director rolling her eyes, can't you?In 2009, Jan Koum founded WhatsApp, an innovation he sold to Facebook in 2014 for $9.1 billion. Steve Jobs and Jan Koum are mentioned in the opening paragraph of a 59-page study2 published by two academicians in 2017. That paper is titled Asymmetric Information and Entrepreneurship. Its scholarly authors reached their conclusions only after analyzing 12,686 individuals over a period of more than 30 years. I'll do my best to summarize those 59 pages:“A person is motivated to start their own business when they have more confidence in their ability than they have in their résumé.” – Roy H. Williams There. I've put 59 pages into a single sentence. Perhaps I should become an ad writer. Roy H. Williams 1 If no rascals are available, you can substitute a rebel, a rogue, or a renegade. 2 Hegde, Deepak and Tumlinson, Justin, Asymmetric Information and Entrepreneurship (May 15, 2017). https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2596846 (Available for download at SSRN.)

Cal Newport is an Associate Professor of Computer Science at Georgetown University, who specializes in the theory of distributed algorithms. He previously earned his Ph.D. from MIT in 2009 and graduated from Dartmouth College in 2004. In addition to studying the theoretical foundations of our digital age as a professor, Newport also writes about the impact of these technologies on the world of work. His most recent book, Deep Work (Grand Central, 2016), argues that focus is the new I.Q. in the knowledge economy, and that individuals who cultivate their ability to concentrate without distraction will thrive. On publication, Deep Work became an instant Wall Street Journal bestseller, and received praise in the New York Times Book Review, The Wall Street Journal, The Economist, and The Guardian. Newport's previous book, So Good They Can't Ignore You (Grand Central, 2012), argues that “follow your passion” is bad advice. Since its publication, it has been selected for several best business books of the year lists, including those by Inc. Magazine, The Globe and Mail, and 800-CEO-Read. Newport's New York Times op-ed on the book became the paper's most e-mailed article for over a week. Newport is also the author of three books of unconventional advice for students: How to Be a High School Superstar (Random House, 2010), How to Become a Straight-A Student  (Random House, 2006), and How to Win at College (Random House, 2005). The How To student series has sold over well over 150,000 copies since its inception, and Newport has been invited to speak on these topics at some of the country's top universities, including Harvard, Princeton, MIT, Dartmouth, Middlebury, Georgetown and Duke. Between books, Newport explores related ideas on his popular Study Hacks blog. Show Highlights: Deep work is the activity in which you are focused without distraction on a cognitively demanding task. – Cal NewportThe ability to perform deep work is become increasingly valuable in our economy at the same time that it is becoming increasingly rare. – Cal NewportDeep work should be thought of as a tier one capability. – Cal NewportIt's not that distractions are necessarily bad, but we haven't talked enough about why the opposite is so valuable. – Cal NewportShallow work will keep you from going bankrupt but it's deep work is what multiplies your business. – Cal NewportA constant state of “just checks” are keeping your from your full cognitive capacity. – Cal NewportPeople who really embrace deep work can produce at a level that almost mystifies their peers. – Cal NewportBusiness is about producing value not making things convenient for your colleagues. – Cal NewportIf you want to be a serious deep thinker, it takes a lot of work to get here. You must practice. – Cal NewportIt's hard to deep work because we have built systems that depend on the brain to tend to constant ongoing unstructured conversational flow. – Cal NewportYou can't expect a human brain to come up with original things and tend to constant unstructured communication. – Cal NewportThe majority of people can get the value needed from social media by logging in on their desktop for 20 minutes once a week. – Cal NewportThe average American spends an average of 2 hours per day on social media. – Cal NewportYou are being exploited and used by these massive attention conglomerates who are trying to extract as many minutes out of your mind. – Cal Newport The Action Catalyst is a weekly podcast hosted by Dan Moore, President of Southwestern Advantage, the oldest direct-sales company in America, and Partner with Southwestern Consulting.

Cal Newport is a computer scientist at Georgetown University who writes a blog called Study Hacks about effective study methods. We have covered one of his books already, So Good They Can't Ignore You, when I wanted to discuss career advice. Before writing How to Become a Straight-A Student, Newport visited a number of university campuses in the USA and looked for students who got the best grades. Curiously, he found that these usually came in two types - those who were constantly grinding away in their studies, as one might expect from a top student; and those who seemed to their peers never to be overworked, and led full extra-curricular and social lives, but always seemed to do the best in their courses. Newport interviewed these, and their approaches to study make the basis of this book. It's interesting to see some of the cognitive science ideas like those put forward by Benedict Carey's How We Learn being put into action by these students, generally without any of them being aware that they are doing so, as they apparently happened upon their study techniques by themselves. It is particularly enlightening to see how they prioritise certain important cognitive features - for example, considering coloured pens for notes to be superfluous (despite scientific evidence that this would improve memory). It would appear that these successful students have figured out the relative importance of various techniques or insights into learning without having to carry out any scientific experiments or read the cognitive science literature. This is the first study guide that I am covering on the podcast, and I don't intend to cover very many. I'm more interested in talking about fundamentals on this podcast than in sharing tips and tricks. The fact that I like the author (due to his other books), and that his approach seems more empirical than other study guides, but less clinically divorced from the real world than scientific books and articles, led me to want to share it with you. I hope it helps you in your studies, or in your teaching. Enjoy the episode. Music by podcastthemes.com.

In high achieving schools, the expectations of parents and teachers can be intense. Getting top grades puts kids under unhealthy levels of stress. And is it even necessary? According to school counselor and therapist, Phyllis Fagel, "It's not clear what grades even mean any more. In today's Digital Age, with this many variables [contributing to our kids' chances for success in the workplace] I think people are just trying to control whatever they can. And grades is one of them." Many colleges are beginning to broaden their perspective to include more than just a student's GPA when considering applicants. That's an important step in the right direction. Anxious parents may also be recognizing that grades, per se, don't define a child, but they're not sure what does. Annie talks with Phyllis about the myth of the Straight A student and how character development fits into success in the workplace and in life. About Phyllis Fagell (@Pfagell) Phyllis L.

Co-hosts Jan Rutherford and Jim Vaselopulos interview John Coyle, Founder and CEO of The Art of Really Living. John is one of the world’s leading experts in innovation and design thinking. John is an SVP and Professor of Innovation, and a thought leader in the field of horology — the study of how we as humans process time. His mission is to innovate the human experience, and he has been applying "design thinking" to Fortune 500 companies, careers, and leadership challenges for more than 20 years. Jan and Jim talk with John about his Olympic journey, his pursuit to maximize the ratio of experience to time, how design thinking helped him find the right questions to ask, how to achieve Flow, and when to de-stress to recover. Listen in to learn more about the path to Flow, the pursuit of excellence, and how to apply it with your team.   Key Takeaways [3:39] John spent all of his time as an athlete cramming more distance into the same time. In that pursuit, he won an Olympic silver medal. Small increments of time matter greatly, and can change a life. His experience of the passage of time in the working world (slow in meetings, and fast with friends), led him to study chronoception. He now works to manipulate cognitive time. [7:51] John called every expert he could find on neuroscience and the psychology of time, until he spoke with Dr. Philip Zimbardo at Stanford, who told him everybody experiences the acceleration of time as they age, but nobody has done research on how to unwind it. [8:24] John used design thinking — a style of creative problem-solving through asking the right questions — to try to discover how to get more experienced time in our years. It is possible, as our brains don’t process time linearly. John helps people reframe their relationship with time. [17:40] One of the hallmarks of the Flow state is that the brain actually stops measuring time. Most people report this simultaneously as going really fast, and slowing down completely. Your brain is processing really fast, resulting in the ability to thin-slice and rewind moments with exquisite detail. Steven Kotler says extreme sports and meditation both lead to Flow. [20:28] If you want to slow down time on your vacations, design fear and suffering into them. We are wired for stories. We remember stories much better than data. Stories have a plot, which develops through a crisis. [22:44] Helping your team members move outside their comfort zones, to find their native strengths, and having them design their roles to do more of that, fundamentally changes their relationship with risk and reward. They will risk more when they excel in what they do. [25:10] Mike Weldon was John’s coach from age 11 to 25. He taught John, “Race your strengths; design around and train your weaknesses, but don’t make them your centerpoint.” He designed his Olympic training on Mike Weldon’s teaching, and won the silver-medal. [28:56] John says, ask the right questions in development and leadership. Instead of asking how to fix your weaknesses, ask how to design for your strengths. Don’t ask how to have more years in your life, ask how to have more life in your years. Instead of asking how to maintain a work-life balance, ask how to perform better under increasing stress, and how to recover. [37:41] Reduce stress when needed, by refocusing on your strengths, and applying these three destressors: low-grade aerobics, social intimacy, and physical contact with your partner or a pet. [42:20] Regarding having worked with particular individuals who very publicly fell from grace, John says innovation works by ignoring the rules and the status quo while generating ideas. In order to make a good solution, you then need to apply an ethics filter to the idea. Some people skip that step, and they hurt themselves and others.   Quotable Quotes “The value of an increment of time is not related to its duration.” “I just started becoming obsessed with … how we experience time … the technical term is chronoception.” “Cognitively speaking, how can we experience more time, in the same amount of linear time?” “They can reframe their relationship with time, and actually slow, stop, and reverse the perceived acceleration of time.” “You can get to the Flow state so many ways, but it is one of the penultimate outcomes of the human condition.”   Books Mentioned on the Show 15 Secrets Successful People Know About Time Management:  The Productivity Habits of 7 Billionaires, 13 Olympic Athletes, 29 Straight-A Students, and 239 Entrepreneurs, by Kevin Kruse Neuromarketing: Is There a 'Buy Button' in the Brain?

John is an NBC sports analyst, two-time TEDx presenter, author, and sought-after keynote speaker. He won an Olympic silver medal in speedskating, an achievement he attributes directly to his design thinking background. As a speaker and author, his talent is weaving facts, examples and intellectual principles into engaging stories which bring his topics to life and really make you think. They are inspiring, practical, and actionable.   Website: JohnKCoyle.com Website: JohnKCoyle.com/Manifesto Website: TheArtofReallyLiving.com  

Co-hosts Jan Rutherford and Jim Vaselopulos interview Kevin Kruse, a keynote speaker, leadership expert, entrepreneur, NYT bestselling author of six books, and host of the very popular Extreme Productivity podcast. Kevin is one of the most read leadership columnists on Forbes. As a keynote speaker and performance coach, Kevin has worked with fortune 500 CEOs, start-up founders, the United States Marine Corps, and nonprofit leaders. Jan and Jim talk with Kevin about his mentors, his development, his mission to provide life-changing hope and knowledge so that other people can fulfill their potential, and his methods of success. Listen in to learn how to transform your focus from chasing money to providing effective service.   Key Takeaways [6:39] You have to get through a bunch of noes to get to a yes. [8:40] Most people aren't even able or willing to make the extra commitment to follow up and establish a meaningful connection. [9:19] Which famous billionaire lives by a to-do list, and said he just didn’t have the time to learn to use a calendar? [14:15] Kevin tells of his transition from chasing and achieving monetary goals that disappointed, to choosing and accomplishing purposeful objectives that fulfilled. [18:04] The simple secret Ken Blanchard shared with Kevin that changed his life. [18:48] How every day, Kevin wants to make sure he’s providing life-changing hope and knowledge, so that other people can fulfill their potential. [23:20] Kevin praises his mentors — from a seventh grade teacher to a CEO who carefully and effectively mentored him. [28:03] Kevin usually encounters leaders at the top of the organization that have always had and continue to have a lot of flaws — they just play to their strengths. [30:44] Why slowing down and doing less will make you more effective. [35:15] Whatever the metric is, be clear on that standard and don't waver. But at the same time, don’t be rude, mean, inconsiderate or authoritarian in your workplace style.   Books Mentioned on the Show 15 Secrets Successful People Know About Time Management: The Productivity Habits of 7 Billionaires, 13 Olympic Athletes, 29 Straight-A Students, and 239 Entrepreneurs, by Kevin Kruse Employee Engagement 2.0: How to Motivate Your Team for High Performance (A Real-World Guide for Busy Managers), by Kevin Kruse Why is Everyone Smiling?

Cal Newport is a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Dartmouth who went on to MIT for his Ph.D. and is now a Professor at Georgetown. In this book, Cal shares the top ideas he gleaned from interviews with non-grind Phi Beta Kappa members at elite schools across the country. They had to perform well AND they had to achieve those results without grinding away. Their practices, although discovered independently, reflect the same wisdom shared in the science books. It’s great to see the overlap. Big Ideas: pseudo-work vs. real work (and a secret formula), conquering procrastination, when/where/how long should you study?, #1 way to learn (and #1 trap), the importance of spacing out your work and the power to choose your future via excellent grades.

If you're anything like me, there never seems to be enough time in the day. When looking back, you know you were busy but what did you actually get done?! My guest today, Cal Newport, author of Deep Work, makes the case that most of us are participating in what he calls "shallow work," which is why most of us are busy but not productive. We talk about the power of going deep in your work, why you should be approaching your work like a craftsman, and how to to live a more efficient, productive, and satisfying life. Cal Newport is an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at Georgetown University, who specializes in the theory of distributed algorithms. He previously earned his Ph.D. from MIT in 2009 and graduated from Dartmouth College in 2004. In addition to studying the theoretical foundations of our digital age as a professor, Newport also writes about the impact of these technologies on the world of work. This is what he is going to be talking with us about today. His most recent book, Deep Work, Cal argues that focus is the new I.Q. in the knowledge economy, and that individuals who cultivate their ability to concentrate without distraction will thrive. Cal Newport is also the author of three other books of unconventional advice for students: How to be a High School Superstar, How to be a Straight A Student, and How to Win at College. The How To student series has sold over well over 150,000 copies since its inception, and Newport has been invited to speak on these topics at some of the country’s top universities, including Harvard, Princeton, MIT, Dartmouth, Middlebury, Georgetown and Duke. Today he is here to talk about how to be more productive and efficient, and why incorporating the DEEP LIFE is paramount to your success. Order of Man 063 Order of Man

Today, we’re talking about Richard Branson’s secret productivity tool and why you need to be handwriting your notes instead of typing them into your computer or tablet. Shocking, I know. What you’re going to learn: The tool Richard Branson claims he could not have built the Virgin Group without My favorite type of notebook The scientific reason why taking notes by hand is better than typing them into your computer or digital device Key Quotes: “The pen is mightier than the keyboard.” Read Full Transcript Dang, I'm feeling productive. How about you? Welcome to the show. I'm Kevin Kruse and I'm sharing tips and advice from my new book, 15 Secrets Successful People Know About Time Management: The Productivity Habits of 7 Billionaires, 13 Olympic Athletes, 29 Straight-A Students, and 239 Entrepreneurs. That's got to be the longest book title in history. In the last episode, we covered how George Bush, even while as a sitting president, was able to read 95 books a year. Today, we're talking about Richard Branson's secret productivity tool and why you need to be handwriting your notes instead of typing them into your computer or tablet. Shocking, I know. Hey, first I want to send you a quick start action plan so you can 10X your productivity. All you need to do to get it is send a text message to 44-222 with the word "achieve" or go to the website productivity-podcast.com. Now, let's dive in. It turns out that many, many of the greatest minds in history consider a notebook, a simple notebook, to be one of their prized possessions. Indeed, Richard Branson talks about this a lot. Obviously, Branson's the billionaire founder of the Virgin Group, very colorful character. He said once that the little notebook in his back pocket is his prized possession. He said, "I could never have built the Virgin Group to the size it is without those few bits of paper." Billionaire Aristotle Onassis, he was a big shipping magnet. He used to always give advice that he called his Million Dollar Lesson. He said, "Always carry a notebook. Write everything down. That is a million dollar lesson that they don't teach you in business school." Once you kind of know about this notebook secret, you're going to start hearing it everywhere you go. It's like when you buy a Honda Civic and then you see all the other Honda Civics on the road, it's the same kind of thing. I was listening just two days ago to an interview on the Mixergy Podcast with John Lee Dumas. Now, John Lee Dumas, of course, has his own podcast called Entrepreneur on Fire, but he was in the guest chair. He was getting interviewed. He was asked, "So if I called you at 5:30 in the morning, what would you be doing?" He said, "Well, I would be walking around the bay in San Diego, listening to podcasts, and you would see me with my notebook in my hand. I'd be jotting down ideas and takeaways and words of wisdom from the notebook." I'm paraphrasing there. Just two days ago, John Lee Dumas makes $3 million as a solopreneur and he brings up the fact that at 5:30 in the morning, going for his power walk, he's still got that notebook in his hand. People always make fun of me because I'm carrying my little black notebook around. I go out to lunch with friends, it's there. Business meetings, it's there. It's always with me just because you never know when you're going to get an idea, you're going to meet someone, someone's going to say something, and you don't want to rely on your memory. You want to write it down. The only time I break that rule is sometimes if I'm jogging outside...
