He argues that an optimized calendar is more effective—citing scientific support—and invites viewers to join a free Mindvalley masterclass on focus and "indistractability" led by Nir Eyal, promising time savings and instant results.

Okay, you come over here. I want to show you what's on my to do list. Okay, Check this out. Now, firstly, this is my calendar. I don't really have a to do list. This is how I operate my life. This is a complex calendar, beautifully colored, but it shows what I do on any given day. Now, I want to tell you something. Most people look at that calendar and they think that I am crazy busy. I'm actually not. I'm crazy optimized. But one of the most unique things about how I work is I don't have a to do list. Absolutely zero. There is no set of to do items I even think about. And it turns out that science actually says this is a far more effective way to operate your life. If you are playing at a big level, you do not need a to do list. Rather, what you need is an optimized calendar. Now, I'm sharing this with you because this week on mindvalley we're going to be talking about the concept of focus. The concept of indistractability. That word is coined by the famous author Nir Eyal. Nur is one of the leading minds on the topics of focus, on becoming indestructible, on getting things done effectively. And I want to invite you to join me on a masterclass where we're going to go deep with Nur on why you should take your to do list and completely tear it apart. And instead you should have a Google calendar that looks as beautifully complex as mine. These ideas in this masterclass will probably save you two to three hours a week. And this masterclass will deliver instant results. Check it out. And Neura Yal is an incredible teacher all of us need to be learning from. The link is in the caption, completely free. Join us for this masterclass.
