12: Positive Masters - Study & Work with Me

Welcome to Positive Masters where we develop our mindset and passion projects. In this video, let's study and work together for a 1-hour Pomodoro (study and work session) with the sound of calm lapping water in the background.   In the intro, I talk about the value of writing a daily action plan. By writing down your plan and executing it, you can predict your future for the day ahead of you. Not everything you predict you can do will happen because you and all humans often believe you can achieve more than is possible. You will see this happening very often in your productivity system. Therefore, when you ask others to do work, have empathy and understanding on the...

On your bad days, just focus on 1 to 3 of the most important things that you need to get done that day and execute on them!

On some days, you wake up with less motivation to attack your day. Maybe you're stressed about the overwhelming amount of work you have to do. Maybe you're down because things aren't going as you planned? You're wondering if something will or will not happen, causing you angst. Are you worrying about a relationship, the break-up of one, or being lonely? The death of a loved may have hit you hard. Maybe it's because someone yelled at you at work or the critics are attacking you. Heck, it could be all of the above. You turn off your alarm, wishing you could fade away into a wonderful dream where you're smiling and sipping a favorite beverage as you overlook the...

Sleep is Important for Your Mind and Body.

Sleep is very important to having a positive mind and healthy body. Health professionals recommend adults to sleep 7 to 9 hours, although some people may need as few as 6 hours or as many as 10 hours of sleep each day. If you're a teenager (ages 14-17), you need about 8-10 hours of sleep each day. Children need more hours of rest, and much more is needed for babies. I aim to have at least 7 hours of sleep every night, however, I have to admit that I'm not consistent on this. I've succeeded 85 times and today, July 10, 2019 is the 170th day of the year. After working during the day, I often return home and continue working late at night and into the...
