67 Steps
http://www.flexyourbrain.com/the-67-steps-tai-lopez-review-and-summary/ Contrast your problems with REAL, larger problems. For example: The feat of getting a man to the moon took NASA 10 years, trillions of dollars, and an exponential amount of hours and engineering effort. It was an ENORMOUS effort. Watch a documentary on going to the moon. There were so many different issues and problems that they had to solve. After I think about the difficulty of getting a man on the moon, I ask myself, “Is what I am doing now really that difficult?” and it really helps me put things into perspective and motivates me.
The key here is to take your problem and mix it with a larger problem. The bigger the problem the better. In engineering terms, I think of spring back which is a term used in metal forming – to shape the metal correctly you must force the metal beyond where you want it to be formed because the metal springs back a little bit to it’s original position.
Keep simple things simple. There are a ton of things that I overthink when I don’t need to. It’s a horrible habit.
People spend their time on useless things – like spending so much time getting dressed, traveling to work, researching the best TV to buy, deciding on what color or car you want to buy, writing long emails instead of just calling the person. These might be important in their own aspect, but in comparison to the MAJOR things in life – they simply are not.
I spend a ridiculous amount of time researching the best products. Sometimes it’s as simple as toothpaste. Maybe it’s a little OCD, but you have to force yourself to think, is it really worth it to spend two hours researching toothpaste or should you just go out and buy some toothpaste? If you have this same problem, to solve this type of thinking, I give myself 5 minutes max to make a decision.
For example, some people spend an hour or two commuting to work. That’s 1/12 of your day. Why don’t you keep it simple and move closer to work?
Reduce your research time on trivial things and the time you write pointless emails. Get out of that habit, stop making things harder than what they are.
