LE results and reflections
I don’t think I give LE enough love with my written posts. I give it love in big batches, but I don’t rack up the little pieces of evidence that show why I love it so much. I talk about sales, which naturally leads to chats about NR, a lot, but let’s put it this way…
The results of NR or any sub that I listen to would be almost impossible without the help of LE keeping me in a massive action-taking mode. Not only does LE seem like a results enhancer, but it also seems like a recon-reducer, in both cases because it makes taking action easier.
LE has it’s own sales boosting effects as well - I’ve never tried this, but I imagine that I could probably even drop NR (drop all wealth/other subs) and go on long sales streaks running nothing but solo LE. But I don’t feel the need to run that experiment, as I like the wealth + productivity combo.
Coming back to NR/LE solo (minus a few health-saving runs of Paragon), I’m feeling the effects coming back, very pronounced.
My productivity system is starting to become more pen and paper - a positive sign that i’m moving away from the distractions of tech. And I’m being more disciplined and organized about “mind-dumping” any stray thoughts/to-do’s that I want to capture later, so that I don’t constantly feel this sense that I’m “missing” something.
Most noticably, I’ve been carving an hour out each night, right before bed, to do some sort of high-priority, important-not-urgent, non-career-focused, , technology-free focused & deep work.
The deep work, more so journaling this part for myself
Last night, it was doing some vision work from the Tony Robbins course I did. Tonight, it’s going to be reading a book. Sometimes, it’s just being quiet, present, feeling what it’s like to wander around the house and letting my impulses take me where they take me for a whole hour, so long as it’s not into tech or a distraction. Reading, meditating, stretching, kettlebells, journaling, doing nothing, organizing my next day, they’re all possible on the menu. Just feeling very called to carve out an hour for myself each night to end the day on a focused, connected-to-self note, instead of a distracted, social-media-binging, disconnected-from-self end to the day.
I’m also feeling called to do something similar in the morning, but that’s more of a stretch goal. For now, the only thing I’m making myself do in the morning is pick up a 70lb dumbbell and hold it for at least 10 seconds right when my alarm goes off in the morning. No snooze.
