hello again productivity enthusiasts

this is productivity cast the weekly

0:00:21.869,0:00:25.410

show about all things personal

0:00:23.670,0:00:27.090

productivity I’m Ray Sidney-Smith and

0:00:25.410,0:00:30.529

I’m joined here today with Augusto

0:00:27.090,0:00:34.200

Pinaud and Francis Wade welcome guys

0:00:30.529,0:00:37.410

good to be here good morning Ray’s great

0:00:34.200,0:00:38.850

we have a fantastic show today we are

0:00:37.410,0:00:41.129

going to be talking a little bit

0:00:38.850,0:00:43.170

philosophically today not that we don’t

0:00:41.129,0:00:46.320

philosophically talk on most episodes

0:00:43.170,0:00:48.870

right but but today we’re gonna be

0:00:46.320,0:00:52.170

talking about productivity and its

0:00:48.870,0:00:54.120

relationship to integrity and what I

0:00:52.170,0:00:57.420

wanted us to do is to start off with a

0:00:54.120,0:00:58.980

discussion about how we actually define

0:00:57.420,0:01:01.440

integrity because I think it’s actually

0:00:58.980,0:01:05.820

very different from person to person in

0:01:01.440,0:01:10.110

terms of what integrity is I think for

0:01:05.820,0:01:13.159

me integrity means having a system that

0:01:10.110,0:01:17.220

is complete so that nothing is missing

0:01:13.159,0:01:19.979

that there are no elements that are out

0:01:17.220,0:01:21.740

of place but I find with a lot of my

0:01:19.979,0:01:24.479

clients and people that train is that

0:01:21.740,0:01:27.590

their systems are are for the most part

0:01:24.479,0:01:29.460

self developed or self created and

0:01:27.590,0:01:31.409

somewhere in their teens they put

0:01:29.460,0:01:34.799

together a bunch of habits practices and

0:01:31.409,0:01:37.170

tools and they come into adulthood and

0:01:34.799,0:01:38.430

sometimes in late adulthood never really

0:01:37.170,0:01:41.369

having examined what they put together

0:01:38.430,0:01:44.220

and as a result sometimes something is

0:01:41.369,0:01:46.290

missing so for example I’m working with

0:01:44.220,0:01:47.430

one client one trainee who told me that

0:01:46.290,0:01:50.369

you know she was feeling really guilty

0:01:47.430,0:01:52.939

because she couldn’t remember all of her

0:01:50.369,0:01:56.340

tasks and I said well you probably

0:01:52.939,0:01:57.659

outlive and outstrip the boundaries of

0:01:56.340,0:01:59.850

your memory you probably need to use

0:01:57.659,0:02:01.860

something totally different like writing

0:01:59.850,0:02:05.009

it down or capturing it on a smartphone

0:02:01.860,0:02:07.290

or using some recording device or

0:02:05.009,0:02:09.660

something and she said oh I didn’t

0:02:07.290,0:02:12.660

realize that she thought that she needed

0:02:09.660,0:02:13.890

to use her memory so for her being all

0:02:12.660,0:02:15.660

of integrity menu

0:02:13.890,0:02:18.600

a system for capturing that couldn’t

0:02:15.660,0:02:20.940

keep up with the demands on her life so

0:02:18.600,0:02:23.790

for me integrity is having all of the

0:02:20.940,0:02:26.970

elements in place and having a complete

0:02:23.790,0:02:29.040

set that works for the individual that

0:02:26.970,0:02:33.600

makes a lot of sense and I think a lot

0:02:29.040,0:02:37.320

of people miss the idea that one can

0:02:33.600,0:02:41.250

have their system and still have areas

0:02:37.320,0:02:43.350

that need to improve and if you are in

0:02:41.250,0:02:45.750

some way shape or form feeling pain in a

0:02:43.350,0:02:47.730

part of your life then that means the

0:02:45.750,0:02:49.980

system itself is potentially lacking

0:02:47.730,0:02:51.690

integrity and and is something that can

0:02:49.980,0:02:55.620

be worked on and we’ll talk about that

0:02:51.690,0:02:59.489

later in this episode integrity is do

0:02:55.620,0:03:02.100

what you said you were going to do when

0:02:59.489,0:03:07.080

you said you were going to do it it

0:03:02.100,0:03:09.810

sounds simple but it is of people with

0:03:07.080,0:03:13.050

listening today Pro one of the hardest

0:03:09.810,0:03:15.840

thing to do and when you’re going to

0:03:13.050,0:03:19.440

talk about productivity systems and

0:03:15.840,0:03:21.690

integrity conscious or not that is the

0:03:19.440,0:03:24.690

reason that make people start looking

0:03:21.690,0:03:27.239

for a better productivity system or for

0:03:24.690,0:03:29.430

the first productivity system is the

0:03:27.239,0:03:31.739

fact that they are saying they are going

0:03:29.430,0:03:34.320

to accomplish they are going to do or

0:03:31.739,0:03:37.079

they are going to deliver things that

0:03:34.320,0:03:39.480

are not happening right now and they are

0:03:37.079,0:03:42.299

not happening at the time they’re even

0:03:39.480,0:03:47.430

offering them or they’re not happening

0:03:42.299,0:03:49.860

at all and they need to match what is

0:03:47.430,0:03:51.570

happening in their life with what they

0:03:49.860,0:03:52.200

are saying it should be happening in

0:03:51.570,0:03:54.540

their life

0:03:52.200,0:03:56.610

now as Francis said with his person

0:03:54.540,0:03:59.070

trying to remember everything the

0:03:56.610,0:04:02.579

problem is not if she was forgetting or

0:03:59.070,0:04:06.570

not forgetting and the problem is she

0:04:02.579,0:04:10.230

knows out of her integrity or his

0:04:06.570,0:04:12.480

integrity that he or she wasn’t doing

0:04:10.230,0:04:14.970

what she was saying that she was going

0:04:12.480,0:04:18.060

to do at the time that she was going to

0:04:14.970,0:04:21.209

do and that is the reason most people

0:04:18.060,0:04:24.890

look desperate into productivity is to

0:04:21.209,0:04:26.160

be able to work with that integrity

0:04:24.890,0:04:30.750

hello

0:04:26.160,0:04:35.330

and to be able to be more effective on

0:04:30.750,0:04:38.450

the send people is not looking to cross

0:04:35.330,0:04:43.320

instead of ten items out of their least

0:04:38.450,0:04:46.200

25 450 or more people is looking to

0:04:43.320,0:04:49.950

match what they said they were going to

0:04:46.200,0:04:52.590

do with what they are actually doing and

0:04:49.950,0:04:55.410

that what they are trying to do in a

0:04:52.590,0:04:58.680

more simpler way is try to match these

0:04:55.410,0:05:00.900

or to bring integrity to the table

0:04:58.680,0:05:04.670

and do what they are actually trying to

0:05:00.900,0:05:04.670

are saying that they’re going to do I

0:05:05.690,0:05:12.150

see integrity as an alignment of a

0:05:10.230,0:05:15.090

complete system sort of the alignment

0:05:12.150,0:05:16.950

and commitment to a complete system and

0:05:15.090,0:05:20.430

I think that’s really important for

0:05:16.950,0:05:23.370

people to truly be trusting of their

0:05:20.430,0:05:25.920

system right because integrity increases

0:05:23.370,0:05:28.380

trust both in an in an interpersonal

0:05:25.920,0:05:31.410

perspective right if you if you believe

0:05:28.380,0:05:34.320

someone lives with integrity you believe

0:05:31.410,0:05:37.740

they live with some moral code some

0:05:34.320,0:05:39.150

sense of ethics and therefore they are

0:05:37.740,0:05:42.510

they have the sort of moral uprightness

0:05:39.150,0:05:45.300

in personal productivity it’s really a

0:05:42.510,0:05:47.700

relationship with yourself and others to

0:05:45.300,0:05:50.810

getting things done and I believe it’s

0:05:47.700,0:05:53.880

that that alignment and commitment to

0:05:50.810,0:05:55.290

the systems that you’ve created that are

0:05:53.880,0:05:59.970

really important in personal

0:05:55.290,0:06:03.300

productivity so how does one integrate

0:05:59.970,0:06:05.010

personal productivity systems into their

0:06:03.300,0:06:07.890

life so that their there is this

0:06:05.010,0:06:10.320

wholeness and this relationship that

0:06:07.890,0:06:12.950

that seems to be right if you want to

0:06:10.320,0:06:16.830

call it that versus wrong in your life

0:06:12.950,0:06:19.170

my opinion is that most people don’t go

0:06:16.830,0:06:21.240

past complaining so they don’t they

0:06:19.170,0:06:23.490

don’t deal with themselves from the

0:06:21.240,0:06:26.610

point of view that their integrity is

0:06:23.490,0:06:28.680

important enough to stop complaining so

0:06:26.610,0:06:30.180

they may see it they see the problem

0:06:28.680,0:06:32.250

they see that for example that they

0:06:30.180,0:06:34.520

promise to be there at 6:00 and it

0:06:32.250,0:06:37.919

didn’t make it make it there at 6:00 and

0:06:34.520,0:06:39.660

they give an excuse and that that for

0:06:37.919,0:06:40.160

them is sufficient to cause the problem

0:06:39.660,0:06:42.860

to

0:06:40.160,0:06:45.770

that’s most people I think there’s a

0:06:42.860,0:06:49.820

handful of people a few who are willing

0:06:45.770,0:06:51.980

to say there’s something that is causing

0:06:49.820,0:06:54.440

me to be late and it’s something to do

0:06:51.980,0:06:57.320

with me most people don’t make that step

0:06:54.440,0:06:59.960

and start to reflect and then do other

0:06:57.320,0:07:02.720

steps like for example doing an

0:06:59.960,0:07:05.450

evaluation of their behaviors in some

0:07:02.720,0:07:08.180

kind of objective way to try and see how

0:07:05.450,0:07:12.560

can I take my system to the next level

0:07:08.180,0:07:14.600

so that I can have more integrity in all

0:07:12.560,0:07:16.280

the ways that we’ve talked about so they

0:07:14.600,0:07:18.320

they it doesn’t even occur to them as a

0:07:16.280,0:07:20.510

problem it’s just a circumstance of life

0:07:18.320,0:07:22.250

and everyone has circumstances that

0:07:20.510,0:07:24.950

everyone has stuff happens that you

0:07:22.250,0:07:26.270

can’t do anything about it and and

0:07:24.950,0:07:30.140

that’s that’s where they ended their

0:07:26.270,0:07:32.290

their sort of internal dialogue I think

0:07:30.140,0:07:34.610

again once again the exceptional people

0:07:32.290,0:07:37.130

deal with themselves at a higher

0:07:34.610,0:07:39.350

standard and they say I’m not gonna

0:07:37.130,0:07:43.400

continue to put up with the fact that

0:07:39.350,0:07:46.610

I’m always late I’m going to rigorously

0:07:43.400,0:07:48.740

try to figure out what the solution

0:07:46.610,0:07:52.040

might be and that you know that that

0:07:48.740,0:07:54.950

sends them to you know articles on the

0:07:52.040,0:07:58.550

internet or buying books to purchasing

0:07:54.950,0:08:00.919

apps to picking up a new device so to

0:07:58.550,0:08:03.590

whatever it might the action might be

0:08:00.919,0:08:05.480

but when someone has that problem it

0:08:03.590,0:08:07.730

takes the exceptional person to some

0:08:05.480,0:08:09.490

kind of search for solutions and it’s

0:08:07.730,0:08:12.980

always an internal search it’s not a

0:08:09.490,0:08:15.140

blame the world kind of think solution

0:08:12.980,0:08:17.200

it has to do with the individual I

0:08:15.140,0:08:22.010

I need to agree with a lot of what

0:08:17.200,0:08:26.120

Francis has said sadly we leave on an

0:08:22.010,0:08:29.570

instant gratification society where we

0:08:26.120,0:08:35.479

are looking for the simplest and the

0:08:29.570,0:08:39.110

fastest of the solution and integrity

0:08:35.479,0:08:43.360

and productivity it’s not accept of that

0:08:39.110,0:08:48.790

and people tend to spend more time

0:08:43.360,0:08:52.160

looking for those instant solutions than

0:08:48.790,0:08:54.050

spending the time working to find a

0:08:52.160,0:08:57.529

solution and

0:08:54.050,0:09:01.370

guilty of charge by the way I I wish to

0:08:57.529,0:09:04.130

say that in everything that caused my

0:09:01.370,0:09:06.170

realm I first looked for the more

0:09:04.130,0:09:08.360

complex solution and then I look for the

0:09:06.170,0:09:13.450

simple one but it Oh for the instant one

0:09:08.360,0:09:16.130

but the reality is we all try to find

0:09:13.450,0:09:19.250

some time or the other the simple

0:09:16.130,0:09:21.920

solution but as Francis said there is

0:09:19.250,0:09:25.850

only a small percentage of people who

0:09:21.920,0:09:29.230

after that initial search fail then go

0:09:25.850,0:09:33.830

to the next step and look for the other

0:09:29.230,0:09:36.860

difficult path years ago we’re talking

0:09:33.830,0:09:38.899

about but we are now going where I’m

0:09:36.860,0:09:43.880

going to be celebrating the 10th

0:09:38.899,0:09:48.470

anniversary of this next year I was I

0:09:43.880,0:09:50.870

weight around 400 pounds for the people

0:09:48.470,0:09:53.810

who’s not in the u.s. it’s a little bit

0:09:50.870,0:09:56.930

over 200 kilograms and and I look for

0:09:53.810,0:09:58.820

all the solutions to that I tried many

0:09:56.930,0:10:01.459

things at the moment I decided that I

0:09:58.820,0:10:04.100

was going to do something about it and

0:10:01.459,0:10:06.980

when everything or all those solutions

0:10:04.100,0:10:09.950

fail me then was the moment that I

0:10:06.980,0:10:12.589

needed to look and fit and make the hard

0:10:09.950,0:10:15.440

call on the hard decision or bring

0:10:12.589,0:10:18.160

integrity to the table this was a

0:10:15.440,0:10:21.320

problem I was going to look into

0:10:18.160,0:10:22.940

regardless how painful it was or it was

0:10:21.320,0:10:29.180

a problem that I was going to continue

0:10:22.940,0:10:32.089

ignoring ok today I am I weighed less

0:10:29.180,0:10:35.510

than 50% of that and I’m still working

0:10:32.089,0:10:37.339

on it but it was a plan that is easy to

0:10:35.510,0:10:40.490

say but if I said when I’m coming to

0:10:37.339,0:10:44.149

celebrate my 10th year anniversary with

0:10:40.490,0:10:48.529

that and some of these things required

0:10:44.149,0:10:51.680

you to go into this more complex and

0:10:48.529,0:10:54.170

long and painful process in order to get

0:10:51.680,0:10:57.560

it productivity sadly is one of those

0:10:54.170,0:11:00.790

you can kick you can complain you can

0:10:57.560,0:11:05.750

cry all that you want but the problem is

0:11:00.790,0:11:07.520

you can fool most people most of the

0:11:05.750,0:11:10.280

time you can say

0:11:07.520,0:11:12.290

a lot of people a lot of the time but

0:11:10.280,0:11:15.520

you cannot fool everybody all the time

0:11:12.290,0:11:19.370

and especially you cannot fool yourself

0:11:15.520,0:11:22.460

you can set Oh immaculate integrity and

0:11:19.370,0:11:25.100

look how great is my system and most

0:11:22.460,0:11:28.550

people will never know but the reality

0:11:25.100,0:11:32.240

is you will know 24/7

0:11:28.550,0:11:34.490

if in fact your system is working or is

0:11:32.240,0:11:36.740

not working if you are acting on

0:11:34.490,0:11:42.620

integrity or you are not acting on

0:11:36.740,0:11:45.980

integrity that element make it critical

0:11:42.620,0:11:49.070

for when you we talk about personal

0:11:45.980,0:11:51.410

productivity because the problem is if

0:11:49.070,0:11:54.410

you don’t look at personal productivity

0:11:51.410,0:11:58.210

and the relationship with integrity and

0:11:54.410,0:12:01.490

how that relationship affect your life

0:11:58.210,0:12:05.840

you will not know how the negative

0:12:01.490,0:12:09.320

affects crowd and really affect or in

0:12:05.840,0:12:11.240

fact everything on a negative point you

0:12:09.320,0:12:13.700

bring up a lot of really interesting

0:12:11.240,0:12:15.890

points Augusto and and Francis when you

0:12:13.700,0:12:19.100

talk about integrity I tend to lend

0:12:15.890,0:12:21.560

toward dr. Steven Covey the late dr.

0:12:19.100,0:12:23.300

Covey’s work when it comes to to the

0:12:21.560,0:12:26.210

discussion of integrity since he really

0:12:23.300,0:12:27.500

did focus on it so much in his works the

0:12:26.210,0:12:30.140

seven Habits of Highly Effective People

0:12:27.500,0:12:32.210

as well as the eighth habit for those

0:12:30.140,0:12:35.330

who don’t know the seven Habits by heart

0:12:32.210,0:12:38.110

like I do have it number four talks

0:12:35.330,0:12:40.670

about think win-win and this idea

0:12:38.110,0:12:43.580

encompasses three vital character traits

0:12:40.670,0:12:46.540

it really encourages needs it’s vital

0:12:43.580,0:12:49.880

it needs integrity maturity and

0:12:46.540,0:12:52.460

abundance mentality and in terms of

0:12:49.880,0:12:56.060

integrity I’ll just quote dr. Covey in

0:12:52.460,0:12:59.180

in how he defines integrity here

0:12:56.060,0:13:01.940

he says honesty is telling the truth in

0:12:59.180,0:13:05.660

other words conforming our words to

0:13:01.940,0:13:08.570

reality integrity is conforming reality

0:13:05.660,0:13:11.030

to our words in other words keeping

0:13:08.570,0:13:13.760

promises and fulfilling expectations

0:13:11.030,0:13:16.820

this requires an integrated character a

0:13:13.760,0:13:19.970

oneness primarily with self but also

0:13:16.820,0:13:21.949

with life so I think

0:13:19.970,0:13:24.139

Cuffy covers something really important

0:13:21.949,0:13:25.839

there that combines what your both are

0:13:24.139,0:13:28.339

talking about here and is really

0:13:25.839,0:13:30.709

important to personal productivity

0:13:28.339,0:13:32.480

systems I really do believe that in

0:13:30.709,0:13:35.329

order for you to be highly productive

0:13:32.480,0:13:37.459

for you to really overcome many of

0:13:35.329,0:13:40.759

life’s obstacles whether they be health

0:13:37.459,0:13:42.949

related or interpersonal which i think

0:13:40.759,0:13:44.629

is probably close related to your health

0:13:42.949,0:13:47.449

and all of the other things

0:13:44.629,0:13:48.740

technological technical and otherwise I

0:13:47.449,0:13:52.160

think it’s really important for you to

0:13:48.740,0:13:53.269

be able to identify problems have that

0:13:52.160,0:13:56.839

self-awareness that you talked about

0:13:53.269,0:14:01.069

Francis and then really start to think

0:13:56.839,0:14:03.560

about how the system is serving you as

0:14:01.069,0:14:06.350

opposed to you serving the system so

0:14:03.560,0:14:08.540

very dissimilar to leadership or at

0:14:06.350,0:14:10.040

least some leadership styles today in

0:14:08.540,0:14:11.480

management we talk about servant

0:14:10.040,0:14:14.149

leadership this idea that you’re

0:14:11.480,0:14:16.699

supposed to be supporting your staff and

0:14:14.149,0:14:18.589

the people who report to you in and and

0:14:16.699,0:14:21.319

your community in order to be able to

0:14:18.589,0:14:23.029

truly lead it I think it’s very

0:14:21.319,0:14:26.389

different for personal productivity I

0:14:23.029,0:14:28.639

think it’s because your system should be

0:14:26.389,0:14:30.529

continually supporting you you need to

0:14:28.639,0:14:33.589

maintain the system and I think that’s a

0:14:30.529,0:14:36.230

part of integrity but you really do need

0:14:33.589,0:14:38.709

to command your system and that means

0:14:36.230,0:14:41.300

identifying where there are potential

0:14:38.709,0:14:43.790

shortfalls in the system and then

0:14:41.300,0:14:46.129

shoring those up and in doing that

0:14:43.790,0:14:48.620

difficult work of saying okay well I

0:14:46.129,0:14:51.259

don’t have these skills do I need to

0:14:48.620,0:14:55.519

develop these skills and many times

0:14:51.259,0:14:59.149

people are unwilling to take the time to

0:14:55.519,0:15:01.250

look at what’s wrong and then and think

0:14:59.149,0:15:03.410

of it from a solutions perspective from

0:15:01.250,0:15:05.779

what’s a what’s an alternative to this

0:15:03.410,0:15:10.689

that’s positive and constructive as

0:15:05.779,0:15:13.339

opposed to I’m bad I’m stupid I’m

0:15:10.689,0:15:15.439

negative adjectives you just fill in the

0:15:13.339,0:15:17.930

blank of the negative adjectives and

0:15:15.439,0:15:20.089

nouns that we call ourselves and and I

0:15:17.930,0:15:23.720

think that negative self speak actually

0:15:20.089,0:15:27.290

starts to impede on one’s integrity it

0:15:23.720,0:15:29.929

starts to ruin it so one you need to you

0:15:27.290,0:15:32.640

need to lean into the positive side of

0:15:29.929,0:15:34.170

your productive skills

0:15:32.640,0:15:36.030

and then you need to actually do those

0:15:34.170,0:15:38.220

things right so sort of two parts there

0:15:36.030,0:15:40.830

right you have to this is not delusional

0:15:38.220,0:15:44.250

by the way I frequently talked to people

0:15:40.830,0:15:47.010

who well I don’t feel positive or I

0:15:44.250,0:15:49.530

don’t feel productive about this or that

0:15:47.010,0:15:51.420

well that’s okay it’s understandable and

0:15:49.530,0:15:53.190

even to the effect that some people say

0:15:51.420,0:15:54.270

well it’s not realistic well the reality

0:15:53.190,0:15:55.530

is is that the world has enough

0:15:54.270,0:15:58.200

negativity in it

0:15:55.530,0:16:00.150

you don’t need to add to it so my my

0:15:58.200,0:16:02.310

suggestion to everyone is just to lean

0:16:00.150,0:16:04.020

into the productive side as if some

0:16:02.310,0:16:05.970

therapists would tell you just lean into

0:16:04.020,0:16:07.650

the emotion but I would lean into the

0:16:05.970,0:16:09.510

positive side of things versus the

0:16:07.650,0:16:12.120

negative and I think that starts to open

0:16:09.510,0:16:14.820

up the opportunity for solutions and

0:16:12.120,0:16:17.340

then your ability to then say I’m going

0:16:14.820,0:16:19.230

to go do those things now I wanted to

0:16:17.340,0:16:22.320

move us along in the conversation in

0:16:19.230,0:16:26.640

terms of how we can how we can raise the

0:16:22.320,0:16:29.700

bar on integrity in our own productivity

0:16:26.640,0:16:34.260

systems and have sort of a thoughtful

0:16:29.700,0:16:36.810

discussion about how we all are doing in

0:16:34.260,0:16:39.570

our productivity systems and ways in

0:16:36.810,0:16:42.600

which we can potentially improve that

0:16:39.570,0:16:45.390

integrity that wholeness my current area

0:16:42.600,0:16:48.330

of productivity that I’m really trying

0:16:45.390,0:16:51.180

to that I’m trying to clean up right now

0:16:48.330,0:16:54.690

is that I frequently talk about this

0:16:51.180,0:16:58.890

concept of integration across digital

0:16:54.690,0:17:00.870

tools and today I use as we’ve talked

0:16:58.890,0:17:03.870

about before many different platforms on

0:17:00.870,0:17:07.949

a daily basis and across my entire

0:17:03.870,0:17:10.949

system I believe in having a uniform set

0:17:07.949,0:17:14.370

of categories buckets for things things

0:17:10.949,0:17:16.140

I call life categories and I really

0:17:14.370,0:17:18.000

think that level of integrity in your

0:17:16.140,0:17:20.550

system does a whole bunch of really

0:17:18.000,0:17:24.329

positive things so let’s just take a

0:17:20.550,0:17:26.880

very very basic basic example of home

0:17:24.329,0:17:30.330

health and work right just three very

0:17:26.880,0:17:33.450

basic categories if you had a system

0:17:30.330,0:17:37.470

whereby you had three calendars home

0:17:33.450,0:17:40.140

work health and you had three Dropbox

0:17:37.470,0:17:42.870

folders that were home health work and

0:17:40.140,0:17:46.410

if you had three Evernote notebooks

0:17:42.870,0:17:47.880

called home health work and then you had

0:17:46.410,0:17:49.890

your email and your email had three

0:17:47.880,0:17:52.770

folders home health work you see the

0:17:49.890,0:17:56.430

point that all of a sudden if you are

0:17:52.770,0:17:58.800

looking for something you now know there

0:17:56.430,0:18:01.290

are only three buckets in which you need

0:17:58.800,0:18:03.930

to really look for things in those very

0:18:01.290,0:18:07.230

broad categories and it also allows you

0:18:03.930,0:18:09.240

to be able to file faster that is when

0:18:07.230,0:18:10.740

something comes in if you need to deal

0:18:09.240,0:18:12.390

with it later you can anchor that in

0:18:10.740,0:18:14.160

your next action system or your task

0:18:12.390,0:18:17.190

list or whatever you might call it and

0:18:14.160,0:18:20.400

and then immediately put it into home

0:18:17.190,0:18:23.010

work or health and you don’t worry about

0:18:20.400,0:18:25.290

losing it there’s a sense of trust that

0:18:23.010,0:18:29.070

you now have to the integrity of your

0:18:25.290,0:18:31.320

system by being able to do so and I tell

0:18:29.070,0:18:34.560

you all of that to say that I am in a

0:18:31.320,0:18:37.650

massive rework of how I’m doing my own

0:18:34.560,0:18:39.810

system in that way that is renaming

0:18:37.650,0:18:41.940

things and recreating things so that

0:18:39.810,0:18:44.580

there is a little stronger integrity of

0:18:41.940,0:18:47.190

my action systems related to my

0:18:44.580,0:18:49.560

reference systems I use Evernote as a

0:18:47.190,0:18:51.930

reference system primarily and so I

0:18:49.560,0:18:54.990

really need to make sure that every note

0:18:51.930,0:18:58.170

matches my my task management system my

0:18:54.990,0:19:01.890

task manager and I felt like that really

0:18:58.170,0:19:03.360

wasn’t as well in tune and so that’s

0:19:01.890,0:19:06.660

where I’m working on it right now today

0:19:03.360,0:19:09.060

and I hope that by doing so I’ll be able

0:19:06.660,0:19:11.790

to get my hands on things faster and

0:19:09.060,0:19:14.220

I’ll also be able to get more things

0:19:11.790,0:19:16.680

done through the efficiencies that I’ll

0:19:14.220,0:19:18.990

be creating in making sure that my life

0:19:16.680,0:19:21.000

categories across the system are are

0:19:18.990,0:19:23.490

integrated well one thing I’ve been

0:19:21.000,0:19:25.200

struggling with recently it had a good

0:19:23.490,0:19:28.410

outcome because it helped me to identify

0:19:25.200,0:19:30.690

that it was an area that I could

0:19:28.410,0:19:33.150

articulate for my customers or my

0:19:30.690,0:19:35.730

readers that would make sense and what

0:19:33.150,0:19:37.500

it is is I noticed that in my schedule

0:19:35.730,0:19:39.330

there was often times when I would as

0:19:37.500,0:19:41.190

someone who more or less schedule

0:19:39.330,0:19:43.890

schedule everything their attempts when

0:19:41.190,0:19:47.310

I would depart from my schedule and not

0:19:43.890,0:19:49.860

account for it for a whole day or a

0:19:47.310,0:19:52.500

couple of days I just be way off my

0:19:49.860,0:19:52.980

calendar we’re operating outside of my

0:19:52.500,0:19:55.650

plan

0:19:52.980,0:19:57.330

without even referencing it now I have

0:19:55.650,0:19:59.580

the tools to be able to recover from it

0:19:57.330,0:20:00.180

in the form of sceptile which is an auto

0:19:59.580,0:20:04.180

sketch

0:20:00.180,0:20:06.940

but I wouldn’t have the discipline to go

0:20:04.180,0:20:09.220

back into sceptile and run it again to

0:20:06.940,0:20:11.350

reschedule my calendar whenever I

0:20:09.220,0:20:14.620

discovered I was off calendar which is I

0:20:11.350,0:20:18.790

was away from my plan so I tried setting

0:20:14.620,0:20:20.190

up a game to measure the times different

0:20:18.790,0:20:23.250

times in the day when I would be on

0:20:20.190,0:20:26.830

calendar versus off it would actually

0:20:23.250,0:20:28.630

prompt me to report whether I was on or

0:20:26.830,0:20:32.290

off at that particular time was a random

0:20:28.630,0:20:34.390

a random multiplication that helped but

0:20:32.290,0:20:36.190

as soon as the game finished I went back

0:20:34.390,0:20:39.040

into my old behaviors and that’s where I

0:20:36.190,0:20:41.710

am right now so III don’t have a

0:20:39.040,0:20:43.120

solution it’s a sort of an invented

0:20:41.710,0:20:45.130

problem because I haven’t never seen

0:20:43.120,0:20:48.820

anyone mentioned this particular issue

0:20:45.130,0:20:51.190

in their daily setup but it’s one that

0:20:48.820,0:20:53.950

I’m I want to fix but what came out of

0:20:51.190,0:20:56.410

it is noticing that there’s a super

0:20:53.950,0:20:59.290

power that people need to develop a

0:20:56.410,0:21:02.710

couple of them one is to detect when

0:20:59.290,0:21:06.250

their system is about to break so this

0:21:02.710,0:21:07.690

is this is beyond beyond just noticing

0:21:06.250,0:21:10.180

that you’re having a major problem that

0:21:07.690,0:21:12.850

you’re always late for example but it’s

0:21:10.180,0:21:15.400

noticing that there are some subtle

0:21:12.850,0:21:18.690

subtle signs that your time management

0:21:15.400,0:21:21.880

system is a is about to go bust and

0:21:18.690,0:21:23.500

notice what there was those sort of

0:21:21.880,0:21:26.310

signs happen to be so that’s the first

0:21:23.500,0:21:29.860

part the second part is taking those

0:21:26.310,0:21:33.670

weak signals and then converting them

0:21:29.860,0:21:35.500

into in-depth diagnosis kind of a like a

0:21:33.670,0:21:39.040

doctor hosts will do you know from the

0:21:35.500,0:21:40.960

TV show and then the third part is if

0:21:39.040,0:21:42.460

you’re able to do a good diagnosis

0:21:40.960,0:21:45.460

figure out what to implement and

0:21:42.460,0:21:47.380

implement it effectively so I recently

0:21:45.460,0:21:50.830

called them superpowers you know in a

0:21:47.380,0:21:55.060

poster I just did because they’re so so

0:21:50.830,0:21:56.950

much a part of everyone’s life but I’ve

0:21:55.060,0:21:59.200

never heard them quite said that way

0:21:56.950,0:22:03.100

that we need to develop these kind of

0:21:59.200,0:22:06.010

rare skills so that we stay far out of

0:22:03.100,0:22:08.170

trouble as opposed to figure out how to

0:22:06.010,0:22:10.660

dig ourselves out of trouble it’s kind

0:22:08.170,0:22:11.950

of like problem prevention in a way but

0:22:10.660,0:22:13.790

that came from the problem I’m having

0:22:11.950,0:22:18.020

the challenge I’m having right now

0:22:13.790,0:22:21.080

on schedule and that goes back to Q what

0:22:18.020,0:22:24.110

I was saying to integrity now on if I

0:22:21.080,0:22:26.420

tidy up this but very said honestly has

0:22:24.110,0:22:30.110

been able to honestly it’s been able to

0:22:26.420,0:22:32.390

admit that you go in a certain way out

0:22:30.110,0:22:35.960

of integrity would you stop flow in your

0:22:32.390,0:22:38.240

calendar and integrity is knowing that

0:22:35.960,0:22:40.310

you are not doing that and figured it

0:22:38.240,0:22:44.000

out that okay I need to go back to do

0:22:40.310,0:22:47.360

what I was doing but that’s that’s one

0:22:44.000,0:22:50.810

second is it’s important to mention that

0:22:47.360,0:22:54.230

one of the difficult issues with

0:22:50.810,0:22:59.390

integrity and they call that the bar so

0:22:54.230,0:23:01.520

everybody has amar and that said to you

0:22:59.390,0:23:03.140

know above this line and below this line

0:23:01.520,0:23:06.020

you are fine when you’re above the line

0:23:03.140,0:23:10.250

you’re not good with your below the line

0:23:06.020,0:23:12.410

so if if you think on what you just said

0:23:10.250,0:23:14.600

you know your line is sleep on the

0:23:12.410,0:23:18.590

calendar to a certain extent when you

0:23:14.600,0:23:21.500

are above that line then you’re fine you

0:23:18.590,0:23:23.330

are living into what you are supposed to

0:23:21.500,0:23:26.720

do you are doing the things they are

0:23:23.330,0:23:30.350

supposed to do same here the problem is

0:23:26.720,0:23:33.230

sometimes we don’t notice that we start

0:23:30.350,0:23:35.750

lowering that bar instead of raising

0:23:33.230,0:23:38.990

that bar problem is if you start

0:23:35.750,0:23:41.690

lowering the bar conscious or not a most

0:23:38.990,0:23:44.030

of the time it’s not you start also

0:23:41.690,0:23:46.010

lowering the bar on other areas when you

0:23:44.030,0:23:49.340

say you know what I have decided that

0:23:46.010,0:23:52.240

this work life is too stressful for me

0:23:49.340,0:23:56.390

and I am NOT going to work hard anymore

0:23:52.240,0:23:58.570

and I’m going to instead of try to you

0:23:56.390,0:24:01.850

know reach and girl I’m going to be

0:23:58.570,0:24:04.040

whatever is automatically lower in the

0:24:01.850,0:24:06.440

bar you are saying I’m not going to push

0:24:04.040,0:24:08.690

I’m not trying to improve and what you

0:24:06.440,0:24:11.470

may notice or not notice immediately

0:24:08.690,0:24:14.690

we’ve asked you start letting the bar

0:24:11.470,0:24:17.840

going down you may think it’s only

0:24:14.690,0:24:20.870

happen on your calendar but it will

0:24:17.840,0:24:23.300

start happening and influence many other

0:24:20.870,0:24:26.150

different bars that you have on your

0:24:23.300,0:24:27.470

life and everything will start coming

0:24:26.150,0:24:30.950

down and

0:24:27.470,0:24:34.730

and down there is an author and that it

0:24:30.950,0:24:38.629

says whatever is not growing is time and

0:24:34.730,0:24:42.529

the fact with this proverbial bar is

0:24:38.629,0:24:46.429

exactly the same thing you can go and I

0:24:42.529,0:24:48.740

wish to tell you after I don’t know how

0:24:46.429,0:24:51.919

many years reading and writing and

0:24:48.740,0:24:55.159

teaching productivity that I finally

0:24:51.919,0:24:57.769

reach the proverbial place and then my

0:24:55.159,0:24:59.000

bar is said and it will not need to be

0:24:57.769,0:25:00.980

move anymore

0:24:59.000,0:25:05.690

but what I have learned over the years

0:25:00.980,0:25:09.500

in personal productivity is that the

0:25:05.690,0:25:13.750

more you raise the bar the more you need

0:25:09.500,0:25:17.720

to raise the bar and it’s difficult

0:25:13.750,0:25:20.539

every time you need to raise that bar as

0:25:17.720,0:25:22.070

I explained and you need to revamp your

0:25:20.539,0:25:25.129

system and you need to rework your

0:25:22.070,0:25:28.629

system it is difficult and it is a

0:25:25.129,0:25:31.340

struggle doesn’t matter how effective

0:25:28.629,0:25:34.549

efficient and how much integrity your

0:25:31.340,0:25:39.519

current system has there is a moment

0:25:34.549,0:25:43.070

when that will not be enough anymore

0:25:39.519,0:25:45.559

well now you want to move to the next

0:25:43.070,0:25:49.250

place and in order to move to the next

0:25:45.559,0:25:52.009

place that assumption of integrity and

0:25:49.250,0:25:56.600

that proverbial bar need to be raised

0:25:52.009,0:25:59.299

again and if you choose not to and

0:25:56.600,0:26:01.669

that’s always a choice what’s going to

0:25:59.299,0:26:04.549

happen is that bar is going to start

0:26:01.669,0:26:08.600

coming down until you hit rock bottom

0:26:04.549,0:26:10.820

and Rock button can be the last time you

0:26:08.600,0:26:13.279

said or the private level you set the

0:26:10.820,0:26:15.679

bar or maybe three or four levels below

0:26:13.279,0:26:17.840

that I don’t know it will depend from

0:26:15.679,0:26:21.230

people to people but what I can assure

0:26:17.840,0:26:24.350

you is if you start letting the bar

0:26:21.230,0:26:26.629

going down the bar is not going down on

0:26:24.350,0:26:28.730

one area it’s not like oh well you know

0:26:26.629,0:26:33.049

I don’t follow the calendar anymore um I

0:26:28.730,0:26:35.840

work three will well I promise you that

0:26:33.049,0:26:38.539

your life is going to start being

0:26:35.840,0:26:40.770

influenced by those things it may be the

0:26:38.539,0:26:43.320

calendar and sooner now

0:26:40.770,0:26:45.840

areas of your life are also going to be

0:26:43.320,0:26:50.610

suffering from that lack of integrity

0:26:45.840,0:26:55.350

because the fact is that you are a one

0:26:50.610,0:26:58.560

person or one self and or you are or you

0:26:55.350,0:27:01.320

play with integrity or you do not play

0:26:58.560,0:27:04.650

with integrity you may have different

0:27:01.320,0:27:08.190

levels of integrity from different areas

0:27:04.650,0:27:12.720

of your life but you play with integrity

0:27:08.190,0:27:14.940

or you do not play with integrity just

0:27:12.720,0:27:18.570

in in summary I think it’s really

0:27:14.940,0:27:22.230

important for people to not lose heart

0:27:18.570,0:27:24.330

when you realize that your system may

0:27:22.230,0:27:26.820

not be as integral and that you may not

0:27:24.330,0:27:30.120

be living with the standard of integrity

0:27:26.820,0:27:32.550

that you might feel you should because

0:27:30.120,0:27:36.000

shoulds woods kids once those are all

0:27:32.550,0:27:38.600

not reality okay and the the the

0:27:36.000,0:27:42.090

circumstances what are you right now and

0:27:38.600,0:27:45.750

you either change it or you don’t

0:27:42.090,0:27:47.580

okay and thinking negatively about the

0:27:45.750,0:27:50.130

situation is not necessarily gonna bring

0:27:47.580,0:27:52.560

you a lot of positive movement it’s not

0:27:50.130,0:27:54.060

going to motivate you typically and I

0:27:52.560,0:27:57.360

and I tend to think that fear-based

0:27:54.060,0:27:59.520

motivations are attend not to allow for

0:27:57.360,0:28:02.460

lasting growth sort of I’m a positive

0:27:59.520,0:28:03.780

behaviorist in that sense so punishment

0:28:02.460,0:28:06.600

I don’t believe are though the ways

0:28:03.780,0:28:09.390

forward to a greater integrity with your

0:28:06.600,0:28:11.820

personal productivity system so I highly

0:28:09.390,0:28:14.430

encourage people to think positively

0:28:11.820,0:28:17.850

about it even when you first start out

0:28:14.430,0:28:20.430

with a negative a negative sense of the

0:28:17.850,0:28:21.840

system that is your your having negative

0:28:20.430,0:28:24.750

consequences you’re not getting things

0:28:21.840,0:28:26.480

done and you need to or want to well

0:28:24.750,0:28:29.640

that’s great now you can at least

0:28:26.480,0:28:31.710

recognize that but now look at it from

0:28:29.640,0:28:34.260

as I said before a positive and

0:28:31.710,0:28:36.570

constructive perspective lean into the

0:28:34.260,0:28:38.430

positive and constructive and I think

0:28:36.570,0:28:41.610

that you can then start to clean up the

0:28:38.430,0:28:44.610

system and look for gaps typically where

0:28:41.610,0:28:47.730

I see lack of integrity with clients is

0:28:44.610,0:28:50.760

them missing parts of their world that

0:28:47.730,0:28:52.999

need a system so that they look at say

0:28:50.760,0:28:55.759

they have a bunch of magazines that they

0:28:52.999,0:28:57.469

to read digital or paper and so they

0:28:55.759,0:28:59.359

either see the pile or they have a list

0:28:57.469,0:29:02.059

of magazines that they want to read or

0:28:59.359,0:29:04.669

list of books or list of articles where

0:29:02.059,0:29:08.089

they have read it later applications

0:29:04.669,0:29:10.069

like pocket or Instapaper or like for me

0:29:08.089,0:29:14.299

I have that in Evernote and it’s just a

0:29:10.069,0:29:16.189

you know a big pile of stuff right

0:29:14.299,0:29:19.129

things that want they need to meet or

0:29:16.189,0:29:20.959

want to do and it hasn’t been done and

0:29:19.129,0:29:23.089

that gives them that sense of overwhelm

0:29:20.959,0:29:24.529

and then feeling a lack of integrity to

0:29:23.089,0:29:25.999

their system they’re not maintaining

0:29:24.529,0:29:28.759

their system in a way in which they said

0:29:25.999,0:29:31.279

they would well that’s fine just don’t

0:29:28.759,0:29:33.469

don’t harp on the on the fact that you

0:29:31.279,0:29:35.509

know you’re not doing it really focus

0:29:33.469,0:29:37.759

that energy more productively and

0:29:35.509,0:29:39.679

constructively on doing something about

0:29:37.759,0:29:43.099

it which is are you gonna declare

0:29:39.679,0:29:45.289

bankruptcy on your the pile that exists

0:29:43.099,0:29:47.569

already or are you gonna process are you

0:29:45.289,0:29:50.089

gonna take today’s yesterday’s and the

0:29:47.569,0:29:53.269

oldest statement days materials and read

0:29:50.089,0:29:55.489

those and then tomorrow do today’s

0:29:53.269,0:29:57.709

anything you didn’t catch yesterday and

0:29:55.489,0:29:59.989

the oldest days material and you’ll be

0:29:57.709,0:30:02.779

surprised over time how quickly you can

0:29:59.989,0:30:05.509

regain integrity through maintenance

0:30:02.779,0:30:07.819

then you can through all the negative

0:30:05.509,0:30:10.129

thinking in the world okay so I really

0:30:07.819,0:30:11.209

hope that people can create greater

0:30:10.129,0:30:13.339

integrity and their personal

0:30:11.209,0:30:17.029

productivity systems through positive

0:30:13.339,0:30:18.709

constructive thinking using a it’s

0:30:17.029,0:30:23.149

better to improve your integrity when

0:30:18.709,0:30:25.189

you are in a positive space because you

0:30:23.149,0:30:26.959

must improve it it’s it’s just it’s only

0:30:25.189,0:30:29.359

a question of are you gonna do it when

0:30:26.959,0:30:33.799

you’re miserable or are you gonna do it

0:30:29.359,0:30:36.709

when you’re empowered you must do it

0:30:33.799,0:30:40.779

it’s much easier to do if you’re in the

0:30:36.709,0:30:43.249

latter if you’re present and you’re

0:30:40.779,0:30:44.269

confident or you have some momentum

0:30:43.249,0:30:46.549

behind you

0:30:44.269,0:30:49.879

you know inevitably that’s not what we

0:30:46.549,0:30:52.069

do but that is the best time to start to

0:30:49.879,0:30:54.319

deal with yourself and deal with all of

0:30:52.069,0:30:56.029

your different areas of your life at one

0:30:54.319,0:30:58.819

point I remember finished completing a

0:30:56.029,0:31:00.499

100 point checklist for integrity and it

0:30:58.819,0:31:02.119

was very very very useful it’s not a

0:31:00.499,0:31:04.099

really good time in my life also so

0:31:02.119,0:31:06.090

that’s that out on the line which you

0:31:04.099,0:31:10.170

just said and what Augusto said

0:31:06.090,0:31:12.930

I think we are in a weird agreement that

0:31:10.170,0:31:15.090

and I love that you can do it when you

0:31:12.930,0:31:18.330

are empowered when you can wait until

0:31:15.090,0:31:18.990

you are defeated but you are going to do

0:31:18.330,0:31:20.730

it anyway

0:31:18.990,0:31:23.390

or most people will need to do it

0:31:20.730,0:31:26.520

anyways going back to the beginning of

0:31:23.390,0:31:29.700

of our cast not only you are going to

0:31:26.520,0:31:33.210

need to do it it’s a five you can choose

0:31:29.700,0:31:36.120

not to do it and that is a five I mean I

0:31:33.210,0:31:38.040

have suddently most of the people who

0:31:36.120,0:31:40.860

will choose not to do it or not

0:31:38.040,0:31:43.140

listening to this if you are probably

0:31:40.860,0:31:45.990

listening to this is because you think

0:31:43.140,0:31:48.210

or you are doing something about it or

0:31:45.990,0:31:51.000

you need to do something about it or you

0:31:48.210,0:31:54.060

have done it already in the past and the

0:31:51.000,0:31:56.130

second and last thing I want to say is

0:31:54.060,0:32:01.980

that it’s important and write mention

0:31:56.130,0:32:05.520

this whatever time it took you to get to

0:32:01.980,0:32:08.280

the place you are it’s going to take you

0:32:05.520,0:32:12.420

double to get to the place you want to

0:32:08.280,0:32:16.890

go that is really really important to

0:32:12.420,0:32:19.950

remember because people lost those

0:32:16.890,0:32:21.870

tracks you know if I’ve Frances put up

0:32:19.950,0:32:24.990

an example where I go a couple of days

0:32:21.870,0:32:28.800

and I love struggle my column hey I have

0:32:24.990,0:32:30.960

done that okay or I get a fire you know

0:32:28.800,0:32:33.270

a week that I just fighting fire – fire

0:32:30.960,0:32:35.880

– fire – fire – fire and come Thursday

0:32:33.270,0:32:39.780

and I have not even opened my system

0:32:35.880,0:32:43.530

those happen but remember that when you

0:32:39.780,0:32:46.230

get to that point in order to get back

0:32:43.530,0:32:48.900

to where you want is going to take you

0:32:46.230,0:32:51.390

double of the time in other words it

0:32:48.900,0:32:53.610

took us four days to get to that level

0:32:51.390,0:32:55.950

of couch is not going to take you four

0:32:53.610,0:32:57.690

hours to get out of there it’s probably

0:32:55.950,0:33:00.990

going to take a good eight because you

0:32:57.690,0:33:03.900

will not be able to stop everything in

0:33:00.990,0:33:06.110

order to get out of it one of the most

0:33:03.900,0:33:09.420

foolish things we tend to think

0:33:06.110,0:33:12.390

Confessional productivity is tomorrow I

0:33:09.420,0:33:14.970

will have more time now tomorrow you

0:33:12.390,0:33:16.470

will have less time that’s a fact

0:33:14.970,0:33:18.300

because you are going to need to do

0:33:16.470,0:33:20.010

everything that you are green today but

0:33:18.300,0:33:22.320

every plus

0:33:20.010,0:33:26.070

everything that is just showing up so

0:33:22.320,0:33:28.860

remember when you get to that point in

0:33:26.070,0:33:32.100

order to get out it’s going to take you

0:33:28.860,0:33:35.390

double of the time you get there and the

0:33:32.100,0:33:38.280

reason I said that I mean force that is

0:33:35.390,0:33:41.100

because it’s important to remember said

0:33:38.280,0:33:42.720

you are kind with yourself because it

0:33:41.100,0:33:45.900

will not do any good

0:33:42.720,0:33:48.300

after did you go for days without

0:33:45.900,0:33:50.850

checking everything out of track and you

0:33:48.300,0:33:53.670

get to that place I spend the next eight

0:33:50.850,0:33:55.950

or nine telling yourself and remind me

0:33:53.670,0:33:57.630

yourself how behind you are hey you are

0:33:55.950,0:34:00.780

behind that’s a fact

0:33:57.630,0:34:02.640

move on now let’s plan to get out that’s

0:34:00.780,0:34:05.100

a perfect note for us to end this
