My experience is with people that we’re probably running at about 51% of our capacity.
Something -I mean you can think about yourselves .I often ask undergraduates :How many hours a day you waster,or how many hours a week you waste?And the classic answer is something like 4 to 6 hours a day,you know inefficient studying watching thing on YouTube not only you not want to watch that you don’t even care about ,that make you feel horrible about watching after you’re done.That probably four hours right there.Now ,and you think-That’s 20-25hours a week.It’s a hundred hours a month .That’s two and a half full work weeks.It’s half a year of works per year.If your time is worth $20 an hour,which is radical underestimate.It’s probably more like $50 if you think about in terms of deferred wages.If you’re wasting 20hours a week,you’re wasting $5000 a year,and you are doing that right now.And because you’re young wasting $5000 a year is a way bigger catastrophe than it would be for me to waste it because I’m not gonna last nearly as long,and so if your life isn’t everything it could be,you could ask yourself:Well, what would happen if you just stopped wasting the opportunities that in front of you?You’d be who knows how much more efficient?Ten times more efficient?20 times efficient?That’s Pareto distribution.You have no idea how efficient people get.It’s completely off the charts.
Best you can do is teach people to write.Because there’s no difference between that and thinking.And one of the thing that just blows me away about universities is that:No one ever tells students why they should write something.It’s like well you have to do the assignment.Well,why are you writing?Well,you need the grade it’s like, no.You need learn to think.Because thinking make you act efficiently in the world.Thinking makes you win the battles you undertake,and those could be battles for good things,if you can think and speak and write you are Absolutely Deadly.Nothing can get in your way,so that’s why you learn to write,it’s like.I can’t believe that people aren’t just told that it’s like.It’s most powerful weapon you can possibly provide someone with.I know lots of people who have been staggeringly successful and watched them through my life.I mean those people you don’t want to have an argument with them.They’ll slash you into pieces and then not in the malevolent way.It’s like if you’re gonna make you point and they’re gonna make their point .You better have your points organized.Because otherwise you’re gonna look like and be an absolutely idiot.You are not going to get anywhere and if you can formulate your argument coherently and make a presentation,if you can speak to people,if you can lay out a proposal.God! People give you money ,they give you opportunities.You have influence.
Make a schedule and stick to it.Okay.So what’s the rule with the schedule?It’s not a bloody prison.That’s the first thing that people do wrong they say well,I don’t like to have to follow a schedule.It’s like well,what kind of schedule are you setting up .Well,I have to do this ,then I have to do this,then I have to do this .Then i just go play video games.Because who wants to do all things that I have to do.It’s like wrong.
Set the schedule up.So that you have the day you want.That’s the trick,It’s like Okay.I’ve got tomorrow,if I was gonna set it up so it was the best possible day I could have.Practically speaking,what would it look like?Well ,then you schedule that and obviously there’s a bit of responsibility that’s good to go along with that.Because you have any sense one of the things that you’re gonna insist upon is that at the end of the day you’re not in worse shape than you were than the beginning of the day,right?Because that’s a stupid day.If you have a bunch of those in a row,you just dig ,you know yourself a hole then you bury yourself.and it’s like sorry ,that’s just not a good strategy.It’s bad strategy.
So maybe.20% of your day has to be responsibility and obligation,or maybe it’s more than that depending on how far behind you are.But even that you can ask yourself ,OKay?Well,I’ve got these responsibilities and I have the schedule these thing in.What’s the right ratio of responsibility to reward.And you can ask yourself that just like you’d negotiate with someone who is working for you.
It is like ,you gotta work tomorrow.so I want you to work tomorrow and you might say okay ,what are you gonna do for me that makes it likely I’ll work for you?You can ask yourself that.Maybe you do an hour of responsibility,and then you play a video game for 15 minutes.I don’t know,whatever turns your crank,man,but you know.you have to negotiate with yourself and not tyrannize yourself.Like you’re negotiating with someone that you care for that you would like to be productive and have good life.That’s how you make schedule.It’s like and then you look at the day and you think well if I had that day ,that would be good.
Great,you know and you’re useless and horrible,so you’ll probably only hit it with about seventy percent accuracy.But thay beats the hell out of zero.and if you hit it even with fifty percent accuracy.Another rule is aim for fifty one percent the next week.or 50 and a half percent for God’s sake.Because you’re gonna hit that position where things start to loop back positively and spiral you upward. https://www.zhihu.com/zvideo/1452743604061609984
