Productivity Hack: Designing For 'Optimal Defaults'

[DerrickChitalaSimwa]

the fact that you one take these, shows how you're on GOD mode

I love how Sam sort of confirms and co-signs all the stuff that we all intuitively know. His videos are a good reminder that our most valuable asset is FOCUS. Keep it up, amigo!!

Focus inverted is distraction. Distraction inverted is focus.
Environment minus distraction = focus.

This one is simple but if you execute it properly, it will turn you into a man-machine!

Check out the video and let me know what you think here in the comments?

Awesome - I've known this for a long time as intuition. Always got weird looks from people when they heard about it. Good to hear it from you!

We've taken it to an extreme now as I am currently in Tasmania an hour away from the city on a farm with all that we have is Internet connection, 2 desks, 2 large whiteboards and workout equipment.(+ofcourse all living essentials) Once a week we go to town to get food and make sure to buy only healthy stuff so when we are back there is no way we will drive an hour to get a snack.

We have been traveling for the last 3 years eating and loving life, time to get back in shape and double down on our business! Thanks @sam you inspired me to be better!

Wow love your stance on alcohol. It’s so true, but no one talks about it. It’s the silent dream killer.

That was so funny, when you were talking about putting your desk in a room you want to be in, I thought oh I remember when I had my stand up desk in the laundry room as it was the only room unoccupied in my apartment at the time. Then you mentioned the guy with the stand up desk in his laundry room. Oh man! lol! So funny as that could only have been me, although I made $10k/month in that room I’m glad to say I’ve upgraded to a room I want to be in with a nice view and lots of “natural light”

Good points here. Most people are in denial about their willpower vs. "defaults" as you say. This is really important to procrastinators.

[cormaster]

I have to admit it really is helpful to achieving goals and just cleaning up your life.

Re-arranging my apartment was something I hadn’t considered, but looking forward to seeing how much it helps.

I actually lock my phone in my mailbox downstairs when I’m working now. Out of sight out of mind.

Thanks for all the great content Sam!

[earsmouth]

Absolutely love this. Every one of your videos is amazing and truly invaluable! Thank you Sam!

[j.willis]

I love it! The idea of becoming an optimal functioning human-machine... Yes! And, I appreciate how you how you break things down into their simplest elements, so that, virtually, "anyone" can do it. All you've got to do is to "t-a-k-e a-c-t-i-o-n"; something, I think, many people struggle with. Thank you, Sam, for sharing your insights so freely!

[annevanduren]

Great clarity and bullet point relevancy. Good on you.

[giuseppesimone]

hey Sam, I agree with you and I would like to add, who needs to eliminate the distractions from his environment will never make progress, he commits himself to waste time in an action that should not be made necessary.
Distraction should not even exist in the hungry's mind.

This is Truly Life-Changing Material for FREE!! Thank you Sam!! Very glad I watched this video!!

[MikeBarron]

I would definitely recommend this to my Team!

[amill]

Thank you Sam because I have been looking for solid info about productivity.

[rotormeeeeeeee]

I must admit I was very sceptical of Sam at the beginning. I even thought that the house that he shows on his videos is not actually his. I must admit now I enjoy his videos and that he's legit. I have already watched tens of his videos and some of them are among my favourite ones.
Thanks!

You've done it again Sam, opened up my eyes to another awesome life changing habit. Thank you

A big part in peoples psychology is as well, 'the fear of missing out'. They need to be on this one party or that meeting with friends although nothings gonna happen there anyway.. As well as pain preventing.. rather being sucessfully unsucessful than feeling a little pain by failing and failing... And failing again.. until you' ve finally learned that new skill you've wanted to learn or etc... It's as Sam says doing it consistent days, months and years is it what lets you master it.
