    Why (Too Much) Positivity Makes You Less Productive

    Learn 7 reasons why the Law of Attraction is unproductive and even harmful. The Law of Attraction says your thoughts and feelings manifest your reality; they contain vibrations and frequencies that create tangible outcomes or visible results. It’s pseudoscience that makes vague references to neurology, metaphysics and quantum mechanics.  The law of attraction is a New Thought or New Age concept. The idea is that whatever you desire, the universe will provide. The 3 steps of manifestation are to ask, belief and receive. There is no action step.  When you’re in the realm of possibility, action typically beats inaction. You could break down the challenge to make the action steps easier, struggle less, and apply the effort that you can reasonably manage. The incrementalist approach is more doable than trying to harness your mind power to manifest desired outcomes. Website: http://www.dyanwilliams.com/ The Incrementalist: A Simple Productivity System to Create Big Results in Small Steps, is available on Amazon and Leanpub:  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CFHYHGFZ(Pros: lowest price for readers and readily available on Kindle)  https://leanpub.com/incrementalist(Pros: price flexibility for readers and 60-day money back guarantee)  Watch the YouTube channel at: https://www.youtube.com/@theincrementalist/ Subscribe to e-newsletter at: https://bit.ly/3J9EbsD

    Learn While Doing Things (Better)

    Learning is a meta skill for thriving, growing, and doing better. When you don’t learn, you stay stuck and repeat the same mistakes. While learning might not be as urgent as performing tasks, producing output and meeting deadlines, it’s just as important. Your performance is at its lowest when you’re purely performing or purely learning.  You’re most likely to succeed when you have the ideal mix of both. In episode 69 of The Incrementalist, you will learn: 1) Chronic performance is counterproductive2) The difference between having a fixed mindset and a growth mindset3) 7 big ideas from Eduardo Briceño’s book, The Performance Paradox, to break out of chronic performance and turn the power of mindset into action 2:42 Big Idea #13:20 Big Idea #24:09 Big Idea #34:54 Big Idea #4  7:34 Big Idea #5 10:07 Big Idea #612:25 Big Idea #7 Website: http://www.dyanwilliams.com/ The Incrementalist: A Simple Productivity System to Create Big Results in Small Steps, is available on Amazon and Leanpub: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CFHYHGFZ(Pros: lowest price for readers and readily available on Kindle) https://leanpub.com/incrementalist(Pros: price flexibility for readers and 60-day money back guarantee) Watch the YouTube channel at: https://www.youtube.com/@theincrementalist/ Subscribe to e-newsletter at: https://bit.ly/3J9EbsD

    Goal Setting to Make Your Best Year Ever

    Setting goals - when done right - puts you on the path to a more desired life. In goal setting, do not make the finish line the main thing or lose sight of the journey.  In episode 67 of The Incrementalist, you will learn: 1) 0:15 By breaking your big goals down into mini goals, you achieve small wins that build your confidence, grow your knowledge, and keep you on an upward spiral. 2) 0:32 Goals are spotlights pointing you in a certain direction. They are not always your ultimate destination point.  3) 1:21 The key differences between extrinsic goals and intrinsic goals.  4) 1:53 Why it's better to focus on goals you control, like your daily habits and actions. 5) 2:41 How to measure progress by thinking about the gains rather the gaps. 5) 4:09 The benefits of embracing failure as a chance to learn, instead of a negative experience to avoid at all costs.  6) 5:05 Why you need to choose or design the ideal environment and not rely on your willpower. 7) 6:40 Fear of hope is a root cause for why we resist change.  8) 9:56 I'm creating an online course currently titled "The Busyness Trap: How to Escape Overload and Focus on What Matters."

    A Bias for Action Can Make You Fail

    A bias for action can help you do big things and reach big goals.  In big projects, it's vital in the delivery phase, which should be fast. But it hurts the planning phase, where it’s better to be slow. In episode 66 of The Incrementalist, you will learn: 1) 0:00 A bias for action feels productive but can also backfire and cause big failure in big projects. 2) 0:55 Every big project has 2 basic phases: Planning and Delivery. 3) 1:11 In their book, How Big Things Get Done, authors Bent Flyvbjerg and Dan Gardner note that 99.5 percent of megaprojects go over budget, over schedule, fail to deliver promised results, or have some combination of these. 4) 2:01 Failed projects use the Think Fast, Act Slow approach (rushed, superficial planning before project delivery). Successful projects apply the Think Slow, Act Fast pattern (careful, precise planning before project delivery). 5) 2:59 To do big things, apply the Think Slow, Act Fast approach with these 5 action tips:  i) 3:05 Tip #1 - Commit to not committing. ii)  6:06 Tip #2 - Think from right to left. iii) 8:33 Tip #3 - Tinker, test, and experiment. iv) 12:10 Tip #4 - Figure out what’s your LEGO - your basic building block – and keep adding one block to another. v) 13:19 Tip #5 - Take the outside view, not just the inside view. 6) 15:15 Why the significance of planning is often downplayed: The Principle of the Hiding Hand and the Theory of Beneficial Ignorance or Providential Ignorance You don't need to be deep in delivery mode to spark creative ideas. Use the think slow, act fast pattern to plan carefully, deliver effectively, and get the best results in big projects.
