Mindsip insights from this episode:
Ask yourself daily: What is my most important task today?
To combat busyness, ask yourself every morning, 'What is the most important thing I have to do today?' and then ensure you do it.
Take a daily holiday for perspective and reflection
Take 10-15 minutes each day to step outside of your life and reflect, just as you would on a vacation, to gain perspective.
Eliminate options to take decisive action
Reduce the number of options in your life, such as for workouts or podcasts, because too much choice leads to procrastination and inaction.
Establish morning routine with mindfulness, movement, and mindset
A locked-in morning routine can be structured around the three M's: Mindfulness (meditation), Movement (a short workout), and Mindset (journaling or reading).
Prioritize what matters to overcome busyness as laziness
Excessive busyness can be a form of laziness because it means you haven't prioritized what is truly important in your life.
Evaluate fullness of your five life buckets for success
A successful life is a broad one, so regularly assess how full your five life 'buckets' are: work, family, friendships, health, and passions.
Prioritize relationships for a longer, happier life
Scientific research shows the number one factor for a happy and long life is the quality of your relationships, even more so than diet, exercise, or sleep.
Commit to a daily five-minute tea ritual for deeper connection
To improve connection with a partner, commit to a five-minute 'tea ritual' each day where you sit together without distractions and talk.
