0:00:23.670,0:00:27.090

productivity I'm Ray Sidney-Smith and

0:00:25.410,0:00:30.529

I'm joined here today with Augusto

0:00:27.090,0:00:34.200

Pinaud and Francis Wade welcome guys

0:00:30.529,0:00:37.410

good to be here good morning Ray's great

0:00:34.200,0:00:38.850

we have a fantastic show today we are

0:00:37.410,0:00:41.129

going to be talking a little bit

0:00:38.850,0:00:43.170

philosophically today not that we don't

0:00:41.129,0:00:46.320

philosophically talk on most episodes

0:00:43.170,0:00:48.870

right but but today we're gonna be

0:00:46.320,0:00:52.170

talking about productivity and its

0:00:48.870,0:00:54.120

relationship to integrity and what I

0:00:52.170,0:00:57.420

wanted us to do is to start off with a

0:00:54.120,0:00:58.980

discussion about how we actually define

0:00:57.420,0:01:01.440

integrity because I think it's actually

0:00:58.980,0:01:05.820

very different from person to person in

0:01:01.440,0:01:10.110

terms of what integrity is I think for

0:01:05.820,0:01:13.159

me integrity means having a system that

0:01:10.110,0:01:17.220

is complete so that nothing is missing

0:01:13.159,0:01:19.979

that there are no elements that are out

0:01:17.220,0:01:21.740

of place but I find with a lot of my

0:01:19.979,0:01:24.479

clients and people that train is that

0:01:21.740,0:01:27.590

their systems are are for the most part

0:01:24.479,0:01:29.460

self developed or self created and

0:01:27.590,0:01:31.409

somewhere in their teens they put

0:01:29.460,0:01:34.799

together a bunch of habits practices and

0:01:31.409,0:01:37.170

tools and they come into adulthood and

0:01:34.799,0:01:38.430

sometimes in late adulthood never really

0:01:37.170,0:01:41.369

having examined what they put together

0:01:38.430,0:01:44.220

and as a result sometimes something is

0:01:41.369,0:01:46.290

missing so for example I'm working with

0:01:44.220,0:01:47.430

one client one trainee who told me that

0:01:46.290,0:01:50.369

you know she was feeling really guilty

0:01:47.430,0:01:52.939

because she couldn't remember all of her

0:01:50.369,0:01:56.340

tasks and I said well you probably

0:01:52.939,0:01:57.659

outlive and outstrip the boundaries of

0:01:56.340,0:01:59.850

your memory you probably need to use

0:01:57.659,0:02:01.860

something totally different like writing

0:01:59.850,0:02:05.009

it down or capturing it on a smartphone

0:02:01.860,0:02:07.290

or using some recording device or

0:02:05.009,0:02:09.660

something and she said oh I didn't

0:02:07.290,0:02:12.660

realize that she thought that she needed

0:02:09.660,0:02:13.890

to use her memory so for her being all

0:02:12.660,0:02:15.660

of integrity menu

0:02:13.890,0:02:18.600

a system for capturing that couldn't

0:02:15.660,0:02:20.940

keep up with the demands on her life so

0:02:18.600,0:02:23.790

for me integrity is having all of the

0:02:20.940,0:02:26.970

elements in place and having a complete

0:02:23.790,0:02:29.040

set that works for the individual that

0:02:26.970,0:02:33.600

makes a lot of sense and I think a lot

0:02:29.040,0:02:37.320

of people miss the idea that one can

0:02:33.600,0:02:41.250

have their system and still have areas

0:02:37.320,0:02:43.350

that need to improve and if you are in

0:02:41.250,0:02:45.750

some way shape or form feeling pain in a

0:02:43.350,0:02:47.730

part of your life then that means the

0:02:45.750,0:02:49.980

system itself is potentially lacking

0:02:47.730,0:02:51.690

integrity and and is something that can

0:02:49.980,0:02:55.620

be worked on and we'll talk about that

0:02:51.690,0:02:59.489

later in this episode integrity is do

0:02:55.620,0:03:02.100

what you said you were going to do when

0:02:59.489,0:03:07.080

you said you were going to do it it

0:03:02.100,0:03:09.810

sounds simple but it is of people with

0:03:07.080,0:03:13.050

listening today Pro one of the hardest

0:03:09.810,0:03:15.840

thing to do and when you're going to

0:03:13.050,0:03:19.440

talk about productivity systems and

0:03:15.840,0:03:21.690

integrity conscious or not that is the

0:03:19.440,0:03:24.690

reason that make people start looking

0:03:21.690,0:03:27.239

for a better productivity system or for

0:03:24.690,0:03:29.430

the first productivity system is the

0:03:27.239,0:03:31.739

fact that they are saying they are going

0:03:29.430,0:03:34.320

to accomplish they are going to do or

0:03:31.739,0:03:37.079

they are going to deliver things that

0:03:34.320,0:03:39.480

are not happening right now and they are

0:03:37.079,0:03:42.299

not happening at the time they're even

0:03:39.480,0:03:47.430

offering them or they're not happening

0:03:42.299,0:03:49.860

at all and they need to match what is

0:03:47.430,0:03:51.570

happening in their life with what they

0:03:49.860,0:03:52.200

are saying it should be happening in

0:03:51.570,0:03:54.540

their life

0:03:52.200,0:03:56.610

now as Francis said with his person

0:03:54.540,0:03:59.070

trying to remember everything the

0:03:56.610,0:04:02.579

problem is not if she was forgetting or

0:03:59.070,0:04:06.570

not forgetting and the problem is she

0:04:02.579,0:04:10.230

knows out of her integrity or his

0:04:06.570,0:04:12.480

integrity that he or she wasn't doing

0:04:10.230,0:04:14.970

what she was saying that she was going

0:04:12.480,0:04:18.060

to do at the time that she was going to

0:04:14.970,0:04:21.209

do and that is the reason most people

0:04:18.060,0:04:24.890

look desperate into productivity is to

0:04:21.209,0:04:26.160

be able to work with that integrity

0:04:24.890,0:04:30.750

hello

0:04:26.160,0:04:35.330

and to be able to be more effective on

0:04:30.750,0:04:38.450

the send people is not looking to cross

0:04:35.330,0:04:43.320

instead of ten items out of their least

0:04:38.450,0:04:46.200

25 450 or more people is looking to

0:04:43.320,0:04:49.950

match what they said they were going to

0:04:46.200,0:04:52.590

do with what they are actually doing and

0:04:49.950,0:04:55.410

that what they are trying to do in a

0:04:52.590,0:04:58.680

more simpler way is try to match these

0:04:55.410,0:05:00.900

or to bring integrity to the table

0:04:58.680,0:05:04.670

and do what they are actually trying to

0:05:00.900,0:05:04.670

are saying that they're going to do I

0:05:05.690,0:05:12.150

see integrity as an alignment of a

0:05:10.230,0:05:15.090

complete system sort of the alignment

0:05:12.150,0:05:16.950

and commitment to a complete system and

0:05:15.090,0:05:20.430

I think that's really important for

0:05:16.950,0:05:23.370

people to truly be trusting of their

0:05:20.430,0:05:25.920

system right because integrity increases

0:05:23.370,0:05:28.380

trust both in an in an interpersonal

0:05:25.920,0:05:31.410

perspective right if you if you believe

0:05:28.380,0:05:34.320

someone lives with integrity you believe

0:05:31.410,0:05:37.740

they live with some moral code some

0:05:34.320,0:05:39.150

sense of ethics and therefore they are

0:05:37.740,0:05:42.510

they have the sort of moral uprightness

0:05:39.150,0:05:45.300

in personal productivity it's really a

0:05:42.510,0:05:47.700

relationship with yourself and others to

0:05:45.300,0:05:50.810

getting things done and I believe it's

0:05:47.700,0:05:53.880

that that alignment and commitment to

0:05:50.810,0:05:55.290

the systems that you've created that are

0:05:53.880,0:05:59.970

really important in personal

0:05:55.290,0:06:03.300

productivity so how does one integrate

0:05:59.970,0:06:05.010

personal productivity systems into their

0:06:03.300,0:06:07.890

life so that their there is this

0:06:05.010,0:06:10.320

wholeness and this relationship that

0:06:07.890,0:06:12.950

that seems to be right if you want to

0:06:10.320,0:06:16.830

call it that versus wrong in your life

0:06:12.950,0:06:19.170

my opinion is that most people don't go

0:06:16.830,0:06:21.240

past complaining so they don't they

0:06:19.170,0:06:23.490

don't deal with themselves from the

0:06:21.240,0:06:26.610

point of view that their integrity is

0:06:23.490,0:06:28.680

important enough to stop complaining so
