Today we focus on mentorships; the what, when and how.

Regardless of the medium you choose to give back with, you must first have something of value to give. No one is under compulsion to be a mentor, there is no commandment anywhere that you must mentor people, but if do mentor others, your motives should not be ulterior.

For mentees, the willingness to learn and ability to sit down and do the work is important. Mentorship is not a shortcut or an escape hatch. You have to be a self-starter too.

Create structures and systems around your mentor/mentee relationship. There should be agreed date and time.

Today we explore and talk about distraction what it is, how to manage it and ways to direct your focus.

The Problem of Distraction did not begin yesterday, the drawing away of the mind from one point or course to another or others. We say something distracts us, when it pulls us away from what we intended to do.

Whenever you want to achieve something, keep your eyes open, concentrate and make sure you know exactly what it is you want. No one can hit their target with their eyes closed.” Paulo Coelho.

Today we explore and deconstruct how to learn and master hard skills, the quantity vs quality dilemma, the importance of doing the grunt work and getting your reps.

In this field, your ability to master complex concepts and skills will be highly rewarded, you become more valuable and so it is a very important thing to pay attention to.

So any time and resource we invest in understanding the science behind how we learn will yield valuable returns.

Systems are repeated patterns used to complete regular activities. Routines are the activities maintained and done on a regular basis. In Today’s episode we focus on how to be more intentional about our routines and systems for developing better work habits.

Systems are a means to an end, it is important to clearly define the purpose for said system. Environment play an important role in our routines and system, certain behaviours are triggered in certain environments. So it is important to prime our environments and make it optimized for the systems and routines that will be helpful for the desired work habit.

Every good system has feedback mechanism built-in.

In today’s episode we talk about Year-end routines and plans for the New Year. What did you experience this year? What have you learned from them?

From learning from what happened in the year, it is less expensive and most effective to learn from what happened to others.

Life is like a school, and its lessons are often dressed up in our circumstances; the challenges, our failures and victories. Rather than live year after year without learning anything or changing anything, decide to live with INTENTIONALITY!

PS. We shared a cool tool and a cool tip for the week :)

In today’s episode we focus on the Either-or Fallacy, also known as false dilemma or false dichotomy. This is a type of logical false belief where a said situation has only a limited number of alternatives. But in reality, it can have more.

For context, the thought behind settling for today's episode is coming from a place of frustration at the number of hot takes and opinionated postulations by some industry gate-keepers. The intentions might be good but the resultant effect can be misleading. For example someone speaks from a place of personal experience, without acknowledging the fact that; as rich as their personal experience, it does not cover the full range of possibilities available.

In today’s episode we talk about outsourcing work. There are a number of things that are going to make demands on your time and mental resources every single day. There will come a time when delegation and outsourcing is going to be the easier route for some tasks.

If you can delegate more, you can be more productive. You can get a lot more done in the same amount of time. There are also many downstream effects when we outsource, whenever possible please do outsource.
