The No.1 Productivity Expert: 10,000 Hours Is A Lie! This Morning Habit Is Ruining Your Day!

Hi Steven, I m 12 years old and I discovered your podcasts thanks to my mom . I watch your videos every week and I m so grateful . My dream is to do my next year internship at your office . You are my source of inspiration and hope to meet you one day . Loads of love from Nice!

One reason for the 7 million, Steve, is that the discussion isn’t bogged down with ads and sponsor promos, which are unfortunately creeping in more and more 😢 It makes it hard for us to focus. So, please keep the podcast ad-free!

Nothing beats a new diary of a Ceo vid and a cup of coffee on a Monday morning!!!

1. Self-Regulation: Regular reflection on strengths and weaknesses, setting goals, monitoring progress, and evaluating results. This leads to continuous improvement. 2. Experimentation and Risk: Taking calculated risks and running experiments to push beyond comfort zones, leading to growth. 3. Avoid Distractions: Starting the day without email or notifications helps maintain focus and reduces stress. 4. Balance Between Exploration and Exploitation: Combine learning new skills with deepening existing knowledge. 5. Minimize Distractions: Limit distractions, including background music, to maximize cognitive performance.

17:30 the "overlapping" of skills is what has worked extremely well for me. I'm in my position in work because I did precisely that. I am a software engineer in a lead position. I'm not the best engineer in the team, and while I'm pretty decent at what I do there, it's the combination with my communication skills and empathy that made me uniquely suited for the position within the company.

Steven, This episode was the perfect one to help your audience learn how to better understand, remember and put into practice all the gems of knowledge your guests shower us with! I’m a primary school music teacher and so my no 1 goal each day at work is to help my students learn better by helping them understand , practice, use and retain skills and information. To help myself personally, when I now listen to your podcasts, I actually slow the playback speed down to 75%, and when I hear something interesting and relevant to me, I stop the video and write it down in MY actual DIARY of a CEO notebook! I also use sticky notes all over my house to help remember the most important ideas. Because like you said, you hear something awesome but then quickly forget it a day later.

I seriously learned so much about myself in this interview. I am a generalist who has suffered under poor managers. I now work on a contract basis and am much happier setting my own boundaries and achieving results by doing things my way.

I can relate to what David is saying, working from home listening to podcasts and music checking emails, having too much coffee, sugar, multitasking can be very overwhelming.

Im so glad this channel exists. Food for the soul for those of us who looove self improvement and introspection and its been like a theme song across my thirties, a constant through my working days
