Three habits that you can do to increase productivity. Now for productivity, the three habits that I want you to really focus on and get really, really, really clear about for your productivity is this. Number one, I want to make sure that you have absolutely clear weekly outputs. A lot of people are clear on an activity. Need to shoot videos, need to make pages, but the output is not clear. It's like webpage video playing button that works. It is done by Friday. And what do I do with that asset once it's done? I also email it to five friends to get their feedback on it so I can socialize it. Clear weekly output planning is everything. And I don't mean activity, I mean what is the thing you're creating. It is the easiest habit in productivity to know what are the things I'm actually creating. It's not the same as your to dos, like I have to have a meeting. No, no, what do you have to create? What do you physically tangibly have to form by the end of this week? So my example last night I had to do that webinar that was a clear output on my agenda that I knew I had to get done. Because listen, if you don't know the outputs, but you know all the learnings or the activities or the things you have to be doing but you don't know the actual output, the end game, you can't be productive because productive means what the root word of productivity is to produce. So I need you with razor clarity every week to know the outputs that you are going to create. Like, specifically what are you going to like, what is that specific output that you can tangibly hold or share with other people? So like in social media, that might be by the end of the week, your outputs are these seven posts or these seven videos or these seven things, right?

Real life work.

It might be these four presentations or this report. But if you're not really clear about outputs, what you'll do is you'll fill in time. If you aren't clear about outputs, you'll start randomly filling in time. Well, someone will say, hey Brendan, can.

You have that meeting?

And I'm not clear about the output that I'm supposed to specifically work on. I'll go, yeah, I guess I'll take the meeting. But if I know the output, I can get really razor clear and that will change everything for me. Next up, other big habit for your productivity and it's tied to energy. So I want you to do this one. I want you to find your exacting workout schedule for productivity. I want you to know at this time in your life and maybe you already have it, I want you to find your exacting workout schedule specifically for increasing productivity. I don't mean when do you like to work out? That's not what I mean. I don't mean what's your preference of how many days? That is not what I mean. I mean on any given specific day, what is the exacting workout schedule that will make you more likely to create your outputs?

Let me give you an example.

Again, my thing was I needed to create the output of a Webinar that I knew would take me three hours. Okay, so two days ago, when I was looking for the schedule of this week and I saw that time that night, I was like, oh my God, that night, there's three hours. I need to create that. When would I have to work out that day or the day before to make sure I was in the best possible place for that work activity? And for me, what I have found, my exacting workout schedule.

If I have a big output I.

Have to do, if I work out exactly three hours before, I'm a weapon. I mean, it's crazy, but for me, listen, when I said exacting, I mean exacting. If I work out the night before, no, won't work. If I work out two hours before. Uh, if I work out six hours before, nope. For whatever reason. And we all have a different rhythm, we all have different exercises that we do. I don't know what yours is. I want you to find it exacting. And I mean with exacting precision and detail. I promise you, as simple as this might sound, this will be a high performance habit that will change your life. I yesterday, you know, was so just razor clear about making sure that I set myself up for that. And for me, my specific ones is I'll do what really works best for me. I'll do elliptical for 10 minutes at the setting of 17 and 17. That means the 17 elevation, 17 resistance. A setting of 17 and 17 for 10 minutes. As good and strong as I can go. Just go, go, go, go, go. Then I'll do five minutes on the rower, then I do five minutes on the bike, Then I do chest press, pull ups, get a shower in, get some food, then lay down for 20 minutes and I'm a weapon. Three hours later. I don't know why that is my routine, but it works.

Hey, it's Brendan and I want to jump in the middle of this episode here real quick and tell you about something I'm really excited about and something that answers a question that many of you have for me all the time, which is, Brendan, where do you get this crazy focus and energy in your life? And the truth is, I've developed a supplement line that really helps me do that. And frankly, I needed to. I don't know about you, but sometimes when you're trying to achieve big things, a lot of stress comes along. And as you're trying to achieve bigger things, you need to be on your A game more often. You need to be mentally sharp, you need to be mentally prepared, you need to be mentally energized. And productive and not once in a while. Wow. But like every day you, you have to be on and sometimes guzzling more coffee isn't going to do it. You have to use what we call Nootropics, which are, you know, basically supplements that help optimize your brain. And yes, we have a product for exactly that.

Delegate seven days in advance. Delegate seven days in advance. Most people delegate day of. Oh my God. That's what I do. You know, I get to that day and because I'm so focused as an individual contributor in my career, I'll have my week planned out pretty good and pretty solid. And then on that day when I'm doing a task, I'll go, oh, right, I need some help with this. And I'll delegate day of. And he said what he does is he sits down like on a Monday morning and he looks out as his week and he immediately thinks of, what are all the questions I'm going to have and what could all the things.

I could hand and delegate right now.

And he delegates seven days in advance. And I was like, that's pretty sharp. I mean, that is a weaponized high performer right there. Delegate seven, not day of, seven days in advance. So you need someone to go get you lunch on a Thursday, on Monday or on Thursday before, say, hey, next Thursday I need you to go get me lunch at 2 o'.

Clock.

I know that's so basic, right? But it's almost the same thing as like, oh, you're working on getting your OVO up and you're gonna have to make a logo, okay, seven days in advance. Put it onto someone else's. Hey, need a logo in seven days. We don't think about that. What happens is now we get to the web page and go, oh, crap, it says upload logo. I don't have a logo. I better Delegate that now. And what it does is it slows you down. So delegating in advance speeds up the schedule. And if you think this is no duh, let me ask you a question. Did you sit down at the beginning of this week and say, what are all the things I need to delegate? Because you know what? I didn't. So that's why I said I suck at this one. And this is a big high performance habit for me this year.

I really want to get better at it. All right. Hey, my friend. I hope you enjoyed today's episode. If you're ready to go to another level, Forget go to hpxcoaching.com Let me be your coach.
