    I'm recording this podcast at 5:43 am as I speak. You're probably wondering Doesn't he have better things to do like sleep?

    Now the only reason I'm sacrificing sleep is that at 5 am your brain is hotwired for success - Something I read in a book called the 5am club by Robin Sharma

    Your brain is hotwired for success at 5 am because the part of your brain called Transient hypofrontality, which processes rational thought is temporarily impaired. This means you don't think much so no worries, no regrets - just do. As an added bonus, dopamine and serotonin, your happy hormones are at an all-time high so you're also in this state of zen.

    There is no limit on what you can accomplish.

    So, after knowing this, would you rather sleep or start your day at 5 am?

    Imagine instant gratification every time you complete something

    Pretty motivating right? You get a little pumped. You probably want to dance with somebody. Every day is a dream.

    But the reality is, we don't get instant gratification for our work. Feedback doesn't come immediately, let alone easily. Hell... Your paycheck is weekly, fortnightly or at worst monthly.

    But, I tell you what ... you can still get that motivating feeling from instant gratification in other ways.

    Here's what I do, inspired by a book called Atomic Habits by James Clear.

    At the start of my workday, I write a to-do list on my computer specifically on Outlook (so it stares at me all day and I remain focused)

    Every time, I complete a task on the list, I click to flick, listen out for that click and watch it being crossed in front of me.

    Try it. There's something strangely satisfying about it and you would  probably want to dance with somebody too

    Transcript**:
    Close your eyes and think of a big task that's making you feel a little nervous. You don't know what to do. Your heart beats fast at the thought of it. You can't see the light at the end of the tunnel yet. You're overwhelmed and that can work against you.

    That's no good.

    Now open your eyes- I'm going to show you how you can tackle that big task without feeling overwhelmed at all. An inspo I got from Best Seller book Atomic Habits by James Clear.

    Back to your big task, break it up into little subtasks. What is the first sub-task to getting it done? Good. Work on that only and put all the other tasks away for now. Hide them. Don't even look at them.

    How do you feel now?

    Better?

    For me, the idea of starting this podcast was so overwhelming from finding a service provider to designing a podcast cover, researching, scripting. I would have just abandoned the project altogether.

    But, by making it easy for myself by focusing just on the next step, nothing further, I've just created episode 4.

    Now, I'm off to the next episode. You with me?

    You have a choice right now:

    Watch a quick Youtube video or start crunching Excel numbers

    What would it be?

    I bet you would choose YouTube video over Excel and then regret how unproductive you become.

    So, how can you make Excel the easier choice.

    Here's how: an inspo I got from a book called Atomic Habits, by James Clear.

    Let's first get into the science of why we chose YouTube. We wanted Youtube, because our dopamine levels are excited by the thought of it. If dopamine is what drives our motivations, then give Excel a chance of dopamine. Now, while excel probably doesn't excite you,  what comes after... the reward... can. Anticipate the reward that comes after crunching Excel

    Perhaps, anticipate a longer video after or even half hour of Netflix at your next lunch break. Whatever your boring task is, give it a dose of dopamine through anticpation of something more exciting.

    Now, I'm excited. Are you?

    Take a quick second, and just think to yesterday, what sort of things distracted you from achieving the big goals you wanted achieve?

    Now with those distractions, are they mostly visual?

    Yes? Did you know we have 11 million sensory receptors, 10 million of which are visual?

    So that means, if you want to achieve your big goals, all you have to do is make small changes in what you see and what you don't see. An inspo I got from the book Atomic Habits by James Clear.

    On a personal note, every time I see a new email, I get distracted and seem to get my mind back into the original task. So I turn all my notifications off and batch read every 3 hours. It's brilliant!

    I also now have a to do list that I see all day, so I remain focused.

    These small changes in what I see and don't see are doing absolute wonders for me.

    What about you?

    What small changes in what you see and don't see do you want to make?

    Do you find yourself unmotivated at work? Put in 110%, but you just can't be bothered.

    I get it. What I'm about to say might motivate you.

    Forget 110%,. Just put in 101%. That's all. 101%. Do that every day and whatever you do will grow 37 fold in one year.

    That's right. 37 fold in one year. An awesome tip I picked up from a book called Atomic Habits by James Clear.

    You probably think I'm just pulling your leg. Don't take my word for it. Let the science and the numbers do the talking

    Open your calculator and try this.

    Enter 1.01 and compound that to the power of 365 days. Hit Enter.

    37

    Put in 101% and do that every day and you will grow 37 fold in one year.

    On a personal note. This time last week I had no podcast. I applied 101% each day and now I have an episode.

    Now that's crazy. Let's get crazy together and don't forget to subscribe to my podcast for more tips.
