As always, youâll find a couple of resources, tools, diversions, books, tools, toys, or other types of recommendations for you to check out; and then, secondly, are a couple of ideas, stories, or tips from me. Check this out
1: [Visual Quote of the Week](
"When things donât work, double down on iteration. When things do work, double down on consistency." â Janis Ozolins (See also: "You should be far more concerned with your current trajectory than your current results." â James Clear) 2: [Loom vs CleanShot X]( (For Screen Recording (and Delegating))
Soâ¦. a few years ago I read [Clockwork]( by Mike Michalowicz. Clockwork is a book about how to turn your business into an organization that can run without any one person having to exist in the center of it. One of the most important elements of building your business systems is the ability to delegate your tasks and document how things are done. And so, if you work with a computer, one of the best ways to delegate is to simply record your screen as you do the task â explaining what and why you are doing â and then passing off that process to someone else. All this to say, I use Loom a lot. I use Loom to record and capture tasks and projects that I want other people to be able to do in the future. For example: Just last week I used Loom to document how I edit our client proposals for corporate trainings. Something to think about
1: How goal setting and time management fit together
To accomplish your goals and live a focused life, you need three skills: - Clarity: What to do.
- Time Management: When to do it.
- Integrity: Doing that which youâve said youâll do. 2: Feel free to say no to your own ideas
Itâs a challenge to have more ideas than time. But you donât have to be a slave to all your ideas. You probably have lots of ideas that you want to do. But the existence of a good idea doesnât mean you are obligated to spend time on it. Feel free to say no to your own ideas. Focus requires tradeoffs. * * *
