The Compound effect by Darren Hardy Part-2

Acceleration

Giving a little more energy or thought to your efforts won’t just improve your results, it will multiply them.
• Identify times when you hit your moments of truth and commit to pushing through them when you next get there.
• Find three areas in your life where you can do “extra” and make a plan to do more.
• Identify three areas in your life where you can beat expectations then plan where and how to create “wow” moments.
• Identify three ways you can do the unexpected. Where can you differentiate from what is common, normal, or expected?

Take Responsibility

The day you graduate from childhood to adulthood is the day you take responsibility of your choices.


Story Of Everyone

There's a story about a man riding a horse, galloping quickly. It appears that he's going somewhere very important A man standing along the roadside shouts, "Where are you going?" The rider replies, "I don't know. Ask the horse!" This is the story of most people's lives. They're riding the horse of their habits, with no idea where they're headed. It's time to take control of the reins and move your life in the direction of where you really want to go.

Daily Routine

A daily routine built on good habits and discipline separates the most successful among us from everyone else. A routineis exceptionally powerful.

Find Your "Why" Power

• The most motivating choices are ones that align with your “why” and your purpose.

• You need a deep why for doing stuff. With a why that is meaningful enough, you will do almost anything.

• The access point to your why-power is through your core values, which define both who you are and what you stand for.

Core Values: Your Personal GPS

• Your core values are your internal compass. They act as the filter through which you run all of life’s requests, requests, and temptations, making sure they’re leading you toward your intended destination.

• Getting your core values defined and adjusted is one of the most important steps in redirecting your life toward your own definition of success.

• Decision-making is also easier when you are certain of your core values.

Setting Goals

• When you define your goals, you give your brain something new to look for and focus on.

• Top people have very clear goals. They know who they are and they know what they want. They write it down and they make plans for its accomplishment. Unsuccessful people carry their goals around in their head like marbles rattling around in a can.

• Make a list of your most important goals. Go for whole-life success: balance in all the aspects of life that are important to you: business, finances, health and well-being, spirituality, family and relationships, and lifestyle.

The Formula for Getting Lucky

Preparation (personal growth) + Attitude (belief/mindset) + Opportunity (a good thing coming your way) + Action (doing something about it) = Luck

Learning Vs Studying

Learning leads to knowledge. Studying a topic means you are invested in it.

The world already has tons of knowledge. You don't need to learn more. What you need is to study, to practice, and to take action on the knowledge you have.

DARREN HARDY Quotes from The Compound effect Book

“Allow yourself to go and do it wrong. Don’t expect to always get it right. It will prevent you from doing anything.”

“The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge.”

“A daily routine built on good habits and disciplines separates the most successful among us from everyone else.”

“Step by step, day by day, your choices will shape your actions until they become habits where practice makes them permanent.”

“You make your choices, and then your choices make you.”

“You can only control two things in life: Your attitude and your actions.”

“Consistency is the key to achieving and maintaining momentum.”

“You alone are responsible for what you do, don’t do, or how you respond to what’s done to you.”

Accelerated Guide to Fullstack Web3 with ASS (Anchor, Solana, and Svelte)

https://dev.to/0xmuse/accelerated-guide-to-fullstack-web3-with-ass-anchor-solana-and-svelte-1mg

Deep WORK by Cal Newport

Deep Work And Shallow Work

• Deep work means those professional tasks that push your cognitive capabilities to their limit done in concentration mode (no distractions)

• Shallow work relates to the tasks that do not require much cognitive work (logistical-style tasks) performed while distracted most of the time. They don't bring much new value in the world and are easy to duplicate.


The New Law of Productivity

High-Quality Work Produced = (Time Spent) x (Intensity of Focus)

The Principle of Least Resistance In Business

Without explicit feedback on the impact of various behaviors to the bottom line, we will tend toward actions that are easiest in the moment.


Busyness Is Not An Indicator Of Productivity

Knowledge workers usually lack explicit indicators of what it means to be productive and valuable at work, so they turn back toward an industrial indicator of productivity: doing multiple tasks in a visible manner.

The 4 Deep Work Philosophies


• Monastic: isolate yourself for long periods of time without distractions; no shallow work allowed

• Bimodal: reserve a few consecutive days when you will be working like a monastic (you need at least one day a week)

• Rhythmic: take 3-4 hours every day to perform deep work on your project

• Journalistic: alternate your day between deep and shallow work as it fits your blocks of time (not recommended to try out first).


Setting Up A Deep Work Routine

In order to have a deep work routine, you have to decide the following:

• Where you’ll work and for how long.

• How you’ll work once you start to work.

• How you’ll support your work.

Why Downtime Is Crucial

• Downtime aids insights

• It helps recharge the energy needed to work deeply

• The work that evening downtime replaces is usually not that important.

It's important to have a shutdown ritual, to ensure that every incomplete activity has been reviewed and that for each you have confirmed that either you have a plan you will follow for its completion, or it’s wirrten down and saved in a place where it will be revisited.


Social Media Hinders Our Ability To Focus

• Sending too much time on Social Media breaks up our time and reduces our ability to concentrate.

• Social Media take away time you could be spending on higher-impact activities. It’s a zero-sum game.

• If you want to eliminate the addictive pull of entertainment sites on your time and attention, give your brain a quality alternative.

The Craftsman Approach to Tool Selection

Identify the key elements that determine success and happiness in your professional and personal life.

Adopt a tool only if its positive impacts on these factors substantially outweigh its negative impacts.

The 5AM Club by Robin Sharma Part-1

The Four Focuses of History Makers

• Capitalization IQ: 'Natural talent is not what defines great individuals. Instead, it is the extent of that potential that they capitalize on through consistency and relentlessness.'
• Freedom from Distraction: ‘An addiction to distraction is the death of your creative production.’
• Personal Mastery Practice: 'Your influence in the world mirrors the glory, nobility, vitality, and luminosity you’ve accessed in yourself.' Focus on your Four Interior Empires.
• Day Stacking: 'As you live each day, so you craft your life. We all are so focused on pursuing our futures that we generally ignore the exceedingly important value of a single day. And yet what we are doing today is creating our future.'

The Four Interior Empires

• Mind Set: It is the psychological aspect of our being. For example, our thinking.
• Heart Set: It is our emotional intelligence. How good are we at managing our own emotions? What is our relation to others?
• Health Set: It relates to our physical fitness.
• Soul Set: It connects to spirituality. How are we connecting to that Supreme power?


The Five Scientific Truths Behind Excellent Habits

• World-class willpower isn’t an inherent strength; it is a skill developed through relentless practice.
• Personal discipline is a muscle. The more you stretch it, the stronger it gets.
• Like other muscles, willpower weakens when tired. Therefore, recovery is necessary for the expression of mastery and to manage decision fatigue.
• Installing any virtuous habits follows a distinct four-part pattern for automation of the routine.
• Increasing self-control in one area of your life should elevate self-control in all areas of your life.

The Three Values of Heroic Habit Makers

• Victory demands consistency and persistence. Anyone can be great for just one day. But to be great consistently is what is required to become heroic.
• Completing what is started determines the size of personal respect that will be generated.
• The way you practice in private is precisely how you will perform once you are in public.


The Habit Installation Protocol

It takes 66 days to get to the automation point of a new habit. The time can be divided into 3 parts (22 days each)- 
• Destruction Phase: Here your old habit gets destroyed. It is the hardest part. You need most of your willpower in this phase.
• Installation Phase: In this phase installation of a new habit takes place. Here you should remember why you are going to build this habit.
• Integration Phase: Here the habit gets integrated with your daily life 
After 66 days the habit will be automated.


20/20/20 Formula

By using this formula you will get most of your Victory Hour(5-6 am). It is divided into three 20 minutes pockets.
•  Move: 1st 20 minutes for intense exercise. It will increase your metabolism rate and your brain will be optimized and you will be able to better focus on work.
• Reflect: Here you plan your day or Mediate for clear vision or you may do praying or journaling.
• Grow: This pocket is for gaining knowledge. You can read books, listen to podcasts, audiobooks, etc.

The 10 Tactics of Lifelong Genius

• The Tight Bubble of Total Focus: preserves your focus as well as your primal brilliance by giving you long stretches of time free from trivial fascinations and any influences that dissolve your inspiration.
• The 90/90/1 Rule: For 90 days spend 90 minutes of a workday on a single task.
• The 60/10 method: 60 minutes work - 10-minute break.
• The Five Daily Concepts: During the second pocket of your Victory Hour, list the five tiny targets you wish to accomplish over the day ahead for you to feel it was one well-spent.
• The Second-Wind Workout: schedule a second workout at the end of your workday to give you a second wind for a great evening.
• The Two Massage Protocols: Lock two ninety-minute massages onto your weekly schedule.
• Traffic University: Use the traveling time to learn, expanding your professional prowess and personal knowledge.
• The Dream Team Technique: Delegate tasks that not only are a poor use of your hours but also diminish your happiness. Ideally, restructure your entire life so you’re doing only the things you’re great at—and love to do.
• The Weekly Design System: Carve out and then ritualize thirty minutes early each Sunday morning to create your “Blueprint for a Beautiful Week.”
• The 60-Minute Student: For at least sixty minutes a day, study. Do whatever it takes to fireproof your commitment to relentless growth.

Twin Cycles of Elite Performance

The Five Assets of Genious are your mental focus, your physical energy, your personal willpower, your original talent, and your daily time.
The balance should be maintained between High Excellence Cycles (the time when you work) and Deep Refueling Cycle (when you take rest).
THE LEGENDARY PERFORMANCE EQUATION:
PRESSURE × REFUELING = GROWTH + ENDURANCE
Remember this: The time you least feel like doing something is the best time to do it.
