How I Went From Being Lost To Total Clarity
Hey Synthesizers,
One of my YouTube videos got over 12k views.
I talked about how to organize your life and a lot of people loved it.
So decided to distill it into the most concise form to give you lots of value in less time. (3min read)
You don't need to comment a "word" to access it.
Here you go:
1/ Organize Your Mind:
Before organizing your life, create order in your mind.
What is taking up space in your mind?
Write it down in a notebook.
2/ Clarify Your Priorities
What are the highest priorities in your life?
Mine are:
- Faith
- Health
- Wisdom
- Career
Define what you value the most.
This will direct your focus.
3/ Set Clear Goals
Define your goals in:
- 3 years
- 1 year
- 90 days
- 30 days
Example:
- $1 million profit with my online business by 31.December 2026
- $100’000 profit by 31. December 2024
- $10’000 profit by 31. March 2024
- $1’000 profit by 31. January 2024
4/ Prepare For Obstacles
Life will throw challenges at you, this is inevitable.
Ask yourself: “What potential obstacles could I face?”
Brainstorm potential obstacles.
Be preemptive and strategize how you will overcome them.
5/ Define who you need to become
The most effective strategy to achieve your goals is to change your identity.
Ask yourself:
“What kind of person do I need to become to effortlessly achieve my goals?”
Define your new:
- Beliefs
- Habits
- Traits
6/ Time Allocation
Identify your highest priority tasks.
Ask yourself each day:
“What's the one thing I can do to make everything else easier in achieving my goals?”
Block out 3 hours in your calendar and do the main thing without distractions.
Inspiration: The book "The One Thing" by Gary Keller.
7/ Optimize Your Energy
Dial in your foundations for a high-energy life.
- Good sleep
- Clean diet
- Daily exercise
- Clear purpose
- Good people
These are the 80/20 of optimal energy, the rest is non-essential.
8/ Optimize Your Physical Environment
Evaluate your physical environment.
- Remove, donate or throw away all unnecessary items
- Choose to work on a clean desk
- Value quality over quantity on your possessions
9/ Optimize Your Digital Environment
Evaluate your digital environment.
- Delete all unnecessary files and folders
- Choose only essential apps
- Suppress your desire to try fancy productivity systems
10/ Tools & Systems
Choose one app for each specific purpose.
Calendars: Google calendar, Apple calendar or Microsoft outlook
To-Do’s: Todoist, Things 3, or Trello
Notes: Apple notes, Evernote, Notion
File Management: Google Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive
11/ Daily Routines
Resist entropy. (The natural tendency towards disorder in any system)
Create order through routines, otherwise chaos will reign.
Mornings:
- Visualize
- Meditate
- Exercise
- Deep Work
Evenings:
- Reflect
- Plan
- Relax
- Have Fun
That's it.
