26 Strategies for Accessing the Success

You seek. Being the Best, the book.

Jump Right In: Immersion 101

What are the Secrets of Success? What are The Real Essentials? Sometimes you realise that if you just woke up, were intelligent, noticed the moments and were bold, had real grit, stopped thinking about escape hatches, and were resilient, perhaps things would become refreshingly different.After all, the totally tangible truths are simply priceless and remind you that whetever it takes in a Brave New World, there is no conspiracy maybe just simply one doppio espresso too many. After all, you say you want a revolution.  So be a superhero, take some time to pause and consider and realise that life is good: you just need The Simplest of Pleasures. And become truly wealthy by using the life tips. What if you were fearless and knew that you could solve any problem that you had? Reinvent. Be outrageous. Be professional. After all, AreYouSerious as genius often starts with quick wins, certainly avoiding nonsense, taking time to reflect, seeking answers and knowing what is to be done. Set your compass, do it and boost your productivity and hence wellness and hence creativity. Think Beatles, think blue Jeans, less PowerPoint. Write and be different. Grab your freedom and travel. Less marketing, more relaxing. Make that Parallel Universe happen: be more intelligent and let the good news happen. Remember: It Isn't Rocket Science.

Monday

Less a date, more an attitude.

Mind-day.

Find Some Time 7

1. Batch similar activities: efficiency is built when the same task is done. E.g. batch e-mail management rather than dip in and out of it.
2. Work at pace. Deliberate and focused.
3. Decide to halve TV time by cutting out the 'OK' stuff.
4. Sleep fully so that waking hours are full on rather than dreaming of the next coffee and/or sit down.
5. Ruthlessly prune the Zoom stuff and review and audit all routine and 'given' activities such as Monday morning 1h meetings. Maybe they could be every other week. Or just 20 minutes?
6. Work to your energy cycle rather than poor diary management.  Most people are more productive, better focused and more creative in the first few hours of the day; don't waste such valuable time with routine meetings.
7. Lost the plot? Go play ball and come back focused.

Being 7

1. A time to be not just do.
2. There will be thoughts; simply don't value them during meditation.
3. Sit somewhere quiet. Be quiet.
4. Focus on your breathing; Notice your breathing.
5. Its rise, its fall. The exhalation, the inhalation. Perhaps 20 minutes.
6. Practise daily. No need to analyse, no need to judge. Just practise.
7. A teacher might help.
