A Simple Math Equation Can Transform Your Productivity
Most of us go through life operating at a fraction in everything we do. We check email during Zoom meetings. We shove a sandwich into our mouth with one hand while scrolling through our phone with the other. When we work, we think about play. When we play, we think about work. We exist in this in-between state—we’re neither fully here nor there—constantly operating at a 0.2 or a 0.8 instead of a full 1.
As a result, our output suffers. What we produce becomes less than what we put in.
We achieve only an iota of what we’re capable.
When people meet a great leader, they often say, “He made me feel like I was the only person in the room.” Imagine giving that type of complete attention to everything you do—and making that thing the only thing in the room.
Not just deep work. But deep play. Deep rest. Deep listening. Deep reading. Deep love. Deep everything.

Let us prepare our minds as if we’d come to the very end of life. Let us postpone nothing. Let us balance life’s books each day…The one who puts the finishing touches on their life each day is never short of time.

You could leave life right now.
Let that determine what you do and say and think.
When you arise in the morning think of what a privilege it is to be alive, to think, to enjoy, to love …
