The Chicago YouTube Accelerator is coming up, and it's about actually getting it done. We've got our friends Jeff Hampton and Ryan Weber joining us to lead it because they're doing the thing. Ryan's biggest client, who happens to be his wife, is known as the real estate lawyer on YouTube and has over 95,000 subscribers. And Jeff's law firm, Channel Hampton Law, is sitting close to 600,000 subscribers. These aren't people guessing at YouTube. They're in it and they're laying out exactly what's working and, and how you can apply it to your firm. You'll dial in your niche, map out your content, script and film your first video, and build the backend so it actually turns into a system. We're in the last month before this event. If you want YouTube figured out this year, this is the place. Grab your ticket to the Chicago YouTube accelerator@maxflot events.com.

welcome back to Maximum Lawyer Live. I'm Tyson Mutrix, and today what I thought I would do is I would go through this article with you that I find really fascinating by a gentleman by the name of Dan Coe, and the name of it is how to fix your entire life in one day. I don't. I know it's been somewhat popular. I don't know how widespread this is, but it is a really fascinating article. It really is this. You can see I've got it on the screen. For those of you that are watching live in the association, or if you're watching the recording on YouTube, you're seeing this, but you've got 185 million views. You've got 8, 600 people commented on it. It's been reposted 60,000 times. It's been liked almost 300,000 times. So pretty, Pretty popular. So let me. I'm gonna. I'm just gonna read segments of it. I'm not gonna, you know, I'm. I'm basically read segments and then we're going to discuss it a little bit. But. And this is from January. So this has been around for, you know, at this point, almost. Almost six months. But he starts with, if you're anything like me, you think New Year's resolutions are stupid. I. I'm offense anybody. I'm. I'm in the same boat. I agree with him. He says because most people go about changing their lives in the completely wrong way, they create these resolutions because everyone else does. We create a superficial meeting out of status games, but they don't meet the requirements for true change, which goes a lot deeper than Convincing yourself you're going to be more disciplined or productive. Issue. Completely agree. People just said, I'm going to do this. I'm going to create this goal. And they've done nothing. That when it comes to designing their life, they just are just like, oh, I'm going to throw this goal out there and then do nothing else to actually make sure that they are successful in that they just. And then they fail. That's what happens, I think. What is it? I don't know. I'm going make up the number, but it's like 80 or 90% fail in the first couple weeks or something like that. It's kind of crazy. But as, as he puts here, this will be comprehensive. This is a. This is very comprehensive. That's why I'm going to try to go as quickly as possible. Make sure you find. It's Dan Co. So at the Dan Co. Koe is his last name. At the Dan Co. And this is on X is where I got. This is where I got this article. I don't really know what that symbol right there means, but here we go. All right, so let me just add another thing to this. This is one of those letters he says that you read through and forget about. This is something you will want to bookmark, take notes on and set aside the time to think about. I, I agree with this. I do agree with this. You'll see why in a second. There's some specific questions that we're going to get to later on in the article that you're going to want to write down. So just make sure you're ready for that as you're listening or watching. You're going to want to get a pencil or a pen and some paper or you're going to want to type this in. So the first part of this, he says, you aren't where you want to be because you aren't the person who would be there. When it comes to setting big goals, people tend to focus on one of the two requirements for success. Changing your actions to make progress toward the goal in. In parentheses, least important. Second order number two, changing who you are so that your behavior naturally follows. Most important, in parentheses, first order. Most people set a surface level goal, hype themselves up to remain disciplined for the first few weeks, then go back to their old ways without much struggle because they were trying to build a great life on a rotting foundation. That doesn't make sense, he says. Let's run through an example. Think of somebody successful. It can be a bodybuilder with a Great physique. A founder slash CEO worth hundreds of millions? Or a charismatic dude who can chat up a group without a shred of anxiety entering his mind. Do you think the bodybuilder has to grind to eat healthy? Does the CEO have to discipline themselves to show up and lead the team? To you? It may seem like that on the surface, but the truth is that they can. Can't see themselves living any other way. The bodybuilder has to grind to eat unhealthily. The CEO has to force themselves to lie in bed past their alarm clock. And they, they hate every second of it. There is nuance here. Just entertain me for a second, he says. To some people, my own lifestyle seems a bit extreme and disciplined to me. It's natural. And I don't say that to contrast it with any other kind of lifestyle. I'm going to, I'm just going to pause for a second. What he's talking about. I think it kind of oversimplifies it, but I do think it's important. I think this is also why a lot of the mindset stuff that Jason Self talks about, why it's so, so important in getting the mindset part of it right. That way you are, you're really training yourself to, to think this way, right? That's why, like, if you, if you want to be that CEO type, you, you, you have to. I mean, I was just having this, a similar conversation with my daughter just yesterday because she wants to get better at setting when it comes to volleyball. She, she's playing volleyball. She's getting really, really good. She wants to get better at setting. And she kept saying, and I, she knows I hate this. She was almost doing it just to tease me, but she's like, I suck at a setting, you know, and, and I said, hold on a second, let's change the wording here. And she said, I'm working on getting better at setting. Yeah, she was. And she was like. And then next thing you know, we're, we're. We were saying, I'm amazing at setting. I'm amazing. That was an amazing set. Like, so she was talking the talk, right? She was almost convincing herself of this. And, and it's, it was very effective, I will tell you. You should have seen how she was doing when she was saying I suck at setting versus when she was saying I'm amazing at setting. It was night and day. Not even close. It is a, it has a significant impact on things. The way you talk to yourself, the way you talk, the way you think about Yourself. All of those are really, really important. I think that that's, that's what he's talking about. All right. He says, I simply enjoy living this way. When my mom tells me that I should take a break, go out and have some fun, I hold my tongue from telling her, if I weren't having fun, why would I, why would I be doing what I'm doing? Yada, yada, yada. Okay, so not going to go too much into this, but the. I'm going to skip to the last paragraph of this. You say you want to change. You say you want to become financially free and get, and get healthy, but your actions show otherwise for a reason. And it goes a lot deeper than your. You think. Okay, so you lot of this is. He's going to talk about in this article. You have to take action on these things. Just thinking about it's not enough. So we are going to get to that part too. Part two of this. You are, you are, you aren't where you want to be because you don't want to be there. Okay, this is an interesting one. So, because just, just let's just step back so you can kind of just think about what he just said. You aren't where you want to be because you don't want to be there. Right. That doesn't, that seems like kind of a contradiction in terms because you say you want to be somewhere, but you actually don't want to be there. So the, the quote, he has trust only movement. Life happens at the level of events, not of words. Trust, movement. And this is by, that's by Alfred Adler. And again I mentioned that he's done talk about movement and, and actually doing things and taking action. He says if you want to change who you are, you. How the mind works so that you can start to reprogram. Reprogram it. First step to understanding the mind is to understand that all behavior is goal oriented. It's teleological. I had to practice that before I, I actually said it to be honest with you, because that's not an easy way to say it. For me, when you, when you think about it, when you want to think about it, this is kind of obvious, but when we dig into it, most people don't want to hear it. So true. I can tell you from the years of the Guild and the association with Maximum Lawyer, many people don't want to hear this. They don't. You, if you're listening to this, you may not want to hear it. Right? You just may not want to. But that's the reality, it's some people take, it takes a little bit longer. You take a step forward because you want to reach a certain location. You scratch your nose because you want to make the itch go away. Those ones are clear. But most of the time your goals are unconscious. You may not realize that when you sit on the couch in the middle of the day, you're trying to burn time before your next responsibility. As one simple example, on an even more unconscious and complex level, you pursue goals that can harm you, but you justify your actions in a way that is socially acceptable and doesn't make you seem like a loser. As an example, if you can't stop procrastinating your work, you may justify it with the fact that you lack discipline. But in reality, you're attempting to achieve a goal like you always are. In this case, the goal could be to protect yourself from the judgment that comes from finishing and sharing your work completely. Could be I'm guilty of not, not that specifically, but sometimes, you know, I will not do something for a specific reason and I just don't want to admit what that reason is. I'm usually not sure. I'm not usually afraid to share it because of, you know, afraid to share my work. That's, you know, usually something else. But if you say you want to quit your dead end job, but you said, but you stay in it without any real reason, you may not, you may start to think you don't have enough courage but, or that you were never really a risk taker, but the truth is that you are pursuing the goal of safety, predictability, an excuse to not look like a failure to everyone else in your life who sees working a dead end job as a sign of success. So um, so the lesson here is that real change requires changing your goals. So if you are a working in a job right now and you've thought about starting your own firm, but you're afraid to do it because you're afraid of, you know, what people might think or you've got this really nice office and so you're afraid of what people, people might think you're a failure because you don't have a really nice office. There's all these other things going on. So you, this is something you really want to think about and there's some these questions I'm into later on that are really going to help with some of this. So, so he says now let's dig a little, dig a bit deeper because if you don't understand this, it only becomes more difficult to get Out. Okay, here we go. You want number three, if you aren't where you want to be because you're afraid to be there. So he gives a quote by Maxwell Maltz. The important thing for you to remember is that it does not matter in the least how you got the. The idea or where it came from. You may never have met a professional hyp. Hypnotist. You may never have been formally hypnotized. But if you have accepted an idea from yourself, your teachers, your parents, friends, advertisements from any other source, and further, if you are firmly convinced that idea is true, it has the same power over you as the hypnotist words have over the hypnotized subject. And this is where I think he really starts to get into the heart of the article. So here's how you become who you are today and how you become who you will be tomorrow. This is the anatomy of identity. Number one, you want to achieve a goal. Number two, you perceive reality through the lens of that goal. Okay? So you want to achieve the goal. You perceive reality through the lens of that goal. Number three, you only noticed, quote, unquote, important information and ideas that allows you to achieve that goal. This is called learning. Number four, you act toward that goal and receive feedback that you are progressing. Okay? Present progressing toward it, okay? So I'll use sort of jiu jitsu, like I want to become a black belt in jiu jitsu, okay? So that's the goal I want to have, okay? So I'm a perceived reality through the lens of that goal. The reality is it's going to take 10 years, okay, 10, probably 12 for me. Just not because I'm bad at it. Just because I'm not. I can't go four times a week. I just don't have that time, right? So two, three times a week, I'm already working out and doing other things. So it's. It's hard. That's the reality, okay? Number three, you only perceive. You only notice important information and ideas that allows you to achieve that goal. So I if all my feeds are all full of Jiu Jitsu stuff, okay? For you, act toward the goal. And I've also got books and stuff that I read for you. Act toward that goal and receive feedback that you're progressing. So we get, you know, go, we go, we roll. I get stripes to. For advancing all that kind of stuff. So that's sort of the feedback. Number five, you repeat that behavior until it becomes automatic and unconscious. So, boom, you know, it's kind of sort of the Part of the process. Now continue to do it. Number so. And then some kind of. Kind of conditioned. And I really want you to pay attention to 6 and 7 here because he's. He's got a note on this that I want to talk about, Number six. That behavior becomes a part of who you think you are. I am the type of person who, okay, is. Is really good at Jiu Jitsu. I'm just gonna make up that part of it. Number seven, okay? You defend your identity to maintain psychological consistency. Okay, so I am. I, I defend the fact that I'm really good at Jiu Jitsu. I'm really good at Jiu Jitsu. Okay. Number eight. Your identity shapes noogles. And I'm. I'm gonna come back to that example I'm giving. I gave that for a reason. I'm gonna come back to that example as to why that's so. That's so dangerous. Okay, because he's going to talk about that. Your identity shapes new goals, restarting the cycle. And if that identity is disadvantageous toward a good life, this gets bad very quick. Okay. All right. So this is. Let's say that I, I. Every time I leave Jiu Jitsu, I'm probably. I'm pretty much in pain, but let's say it caused me a really serious injury and I kept doing it, which then caused me to just always, like, really always be in pain. That's what he's talking about here. This could get bad very quickly. So this is why this is a good Jiu Jitsu is a good example, but there's other parts of life that could be even worse. The unfortunate reality is that you must break the cycle between six and seven. But this process starts when you were a child. Okay, six. Okay. That behavior becomes part of who you are. Right? And then you defend your identity to maintain psychological consistency. The reality is I. The last tournament I went to, I lost three matches, was just. It sucked. It just was not good. It was just, I. I got a bad draw. All these excuses. I can give you whatever, but if I continue to sell myself, I'm just amazing at this. I'm really good at it now. I also take into consideration you have to have that. You still have to have that confidence, but I still also have to kind of separate the two. Like, I need to get better, and if I don't separate six and seven, I'm not going to get better. Like, you have to separate six and seven about, you know, your identity and who you are, and then trying to defend that identity to maintain your psychological consistency. That's where you still have to. And this is. This is one of the things where, like, Jason doesn't tell you to blindly just believe these things. There's all parts of what we go through is like, okay, where do I need to improve? How do I improve on it? Like, there's that. That though. That part of his sort of I'll call program or his teaching where you have to separate the two. And that's all, I think, a lot of what he's talking about. So continuing on where he was. You have the goal of survival. You are dependent on your parents to teach you how to survive. You have. You had to conform. And since the way most people teach us, through reward and punishment, unless you adopt their beliefs and values, you will be punished. You don't actually think for yourself until you see through this. But your parents have also gone through this process throughout their entire lives. This. That's where it can be dangerous. Your parents, unless they broke the pattern themselves, were conditioned by the culturally accepted ideas of success from the industrial age. They also carry the best and worst conditioning from their parents and their parents. Parents. So this is really interesting. And so I'm. This is where I'm going to direct you to read the rest of this part of it so you get more into it. But you're. You. You get the point. How deep this can really go and how important it is to really break that cycle. Okay, I'll read the last couple paragraphs. One of it does. It does reference lawyers. So if you have. If you ra. Relate. If you were raised in a religious household and did not think for yourself, you will fight and attack others who threaten your psychological safety within that little bubble. The same thing happens when you unconsciously see yourself as a lawyer, a gamer, or somebody else who would not take the actions to achieve a better life. Okay. Okay, here we go. Number four. The life you want to. You want. I'm sorry. The life you want lies within a specific level of mind. Okay. The life you want lies within a specific level of mind. The mind evolves through predictable stages over time. When you're born, you're like a little survival sponge that absorbs whatever beliefs you can, which are heavily dictated by your culture so that you can feel safe and secure. And if you don't be careful, your mind may crystallize and it may make it difficult to live a meaningful life. Okay. They talked about how this has been documented through the model. Models like Maslow's hierarchy of needs, greater stages of ego development, spiral Dynamics, integral theory, yada yada, they all kind of build off of another. And so he had created this Human Model 3.0 with various AI prompts to uncover level development path, yada yada yada. So there he does create this, there's this, a qual aq, all quadrants, level stages, states, lines, types. It's an integral map and it's got all these different types which we're going to get to in just a moment. He does talk about these things. In it you've got ironist, magician, strategist, individualist, achiever, expert, diplomat, opportunist, just impulsive. So all these different things which like I said he's gonna easy gonna get to. So number one, impulsive. No separation between impulse and action. And let me just, let me say this because they're how basically everyone falls within one of these. So I'm gonna read this part first before I read them actually. So for most people reading this, I would assume you hover between 4 and 8 which is a huge gap. The closer to 8 to 8 are reading this, the close those closer to 8 are reading this are doing so to either learn something or pass it past time in a non destructive way. So basically everyone falls into somewhere on this range. So number one, impulsive. No separation between impulse and action. Black and white thinking, too self protective. The world is dangerous and you learned to look out for yourself. Conformist. Your your group and its rules. You are your group and it's in its rules. Feel like reality itself. Self aware. You notice you have an inner life that doesn't match the exterior. Conscientious. You build your own system of principles and hold yourself accountable to them. Individualist. You see that your principles were shaped by context and start holding them more loosely. And by the way there's examples of for each of these. Read the articles to see the examples. Strategist. You look with this. Number seven. You work with systems while aware of your own involvement in them. Number eight, construct aware which is you see all frameworks including your identity as useful fictions. Number nine, intuitive or unit united is what that is. Separation between self and life dissolves. Okay, the good thing is I'm gonna go to the very end of this. It doesn't really matter what stage you are in because moving through any of them follows a pattern. And so we're getting to number five here. Intelligence is the ability to get what you want out of life. This is a really important part of this, this whole article by the way. It's. I think he's spot on with this. The only real test of intelligence is you get what you want out of life. Naval Ravikant There is a formula for success. One ingredient is agency. One ingredient is opportunity. And he says, which many people like to mistake as privilege number the third part of it, the last ingredient is intelligence. If you have high agency but low opportunity, it doesn't matter how likely you are to act toward a goal because it isn't a goal that will bear much fruit. Okay. With that said, I want to focus on, I'm skipping through some parts of this. I want to focus on intelligent and what intelligence is in the context of these two other ingredients and this ladder list letter. For that we look to cybernetics. Cybernetics comes from the Greek word kyberneticos. I think I got that actually. Which means to steer or good at steering. It's also known as the art of getting what you want. Very interesting. So if Naval's definition of intelligence is getting what you want out of life, understanding cybernetics helps you do that much faster. Cybernetics illustrate the properties of intelligent systems. To have a goal, act toward that goal, sense where you are, compare it to the goal and act again based on that feedback. And what it has is it's got a boat going towards a light hole lighthouse and sort of think about if you're heading to and you can think of this as a pilot too. If you're flying but you're heading towards the destination, if you start to get off to the, to the left, he's going to steer right. If you start to get over to the right, you're going to steer left. So you're going to bump it back and forth. That's the point of having a compass, right? You, you getting things back on track. You can, you can judge intelligence based on the system's ability to iterate and persist with trial and error. So as you're building AI, this is something that you can really think about when it comes to whether or not your AI is working correctly. And so you can judge intelligence based on the system's ability to iterate and persist with trial and error. So let's see, it's working on a document. If think about the, the boat and lighthouse, the finished documents. The lighthouse, the beginning of it's the boat, right? And the, the you're trying to get the boat to the lighthouse. And each edit is getting the boat should be getting the boat closer to the lighthouse. And if it's not your AI is not working. That's it's the easiest way of looking at it. A ship blown off course that corrects towards its. Towards its destination. A thermostat sensing a change in heat and turning on the pancreas. Excreting insulin after blood glucose spikes. You get the point. So it really comes down to everything. Low intelligence people get stuck on problems rather than solving them. Okay, That's a really important one. They hit a roadblock and quit. Like a writer who fails to build a readership and quits because they lack the ability to try new things. Yada, yada, yada. I'm gonna skip through that. But it really is about iterating, getting better. Okay. Goals determine how you see the world. Goals determine what you consider success or failure. You can try to enjoy the journey, but if you pursue the wrong goal, you will not enjoy it. Your mind is the operating system for reality. That system is composed of goals, Kev. So to become more intelligent, you must reject the known path. Dive into the unknown. Set new higher goals to expand your mind. Embrace the chaos and allow for growth. Study the generalized principles of nature and become a deep generalist. Okay. Very important deep generalist. I understand this may not be the traditional definition of intelligence, but that sequence of steps leads to an extraordinary level of connections in your brain, leading to. What would we observe as an intelligent person? Number six. How to launch into a completely new life in one day. The best periods of my life always came after a period of getting absolutely fed up with the lack of progress I was making. How do you dig into your mind? How do you become aware of conditioning? Okay, so I want to skip ahead to. He says when I observe patterns in people who successfully flip their identity, it happens fast after a buildup of tension. Specifically, I've noticed three phases that build tend that people tend to go through dissonance. They feel like they're. They don't belong in their current life and become sufficiently, sufficiently fed up with their lack of progress. Uncertainty. They don't know what comes next. So they either experiment or get lost or feel worse. Discovery. They discover what they want to pursue and make six years of progress in six months. So our goal with this protocol is to help you reach the point of dissonance, navigating through uncertainty and discover what it truly is, what you want to achieve. So much so that the clarity is overwhelming and distractions no longer. Hold there. Wait. Okay, so this is really interesting because he goes through morning. Afternoon, I think, and then evening is as how it's put but part one. Morning. Psychological excavation. Vision and anti vision. First we must create a new frame of or lens of perception for your mind to operate from. And by the way, I'm going to probably go a little bit long here, but this is like creating a new shell, leaving your old one and slowly growing into a new one over time. It won't feel like this at first. That's a good thing. So set aside 15 to 30 minutes for this. He says it's the length of a YouTube video, so you can do it. A little bit of encouragement, encouragement for you. He Sundays. Don't use AI for this. I want you to break past the limiter that is in your mind, is on your mind. If you can't answer these immediately, come back to them later. Number one, what is the dull? So he wants you to answer these in the morning is what the morning routine is. What is the dull, persistent dissatisfaction you learn to live with. Not the deep suffering, but that. But what you've learned to tolerate. If you don't hate it, you talk, you will tolerate it. That's what he says in parentheses. Number two. What do you complain about repeatedly but never actually change? Write down the three complaints you've voiced most often in the past year. Number three. For each complaint, what would someone who watched your behavior, not your words in parentheses, conclude that you actually want? For each complaint, what would someone who watched your behavior conclude that you actually want? Number four. What truth about your current life would be unbearable to admit to someone you deeply respect? Okay, those questions are meant to make you aware of the pain in your current life. Now we need to turn those into what I call anti vision, which is a brutal awareness of the life you want to live. That way you can use that negative energy to aim your efforts in a positive direction. Number one. If absolutely nothing changes for the next five years, describe an average Tuesday. Where do you wake up? What does your body feel like? What's the first thing you think about? Who's around you? What do you do between 9am and 6pm? How do you feel at 10pm? Number two. Now do it. Now do it. But for 10 years, what have you missed? What opportunities closed? Who gave up on you? What do people say about you when you're not in the room? Number three, you're at the end of your life. You lived the same. The safe version. You never broke the pattern. What was the cost? What did you never let yourself feel, try or become? Number four. Who in your life is already living the future? You just described someone 5, 10, 20 years ahead on the same trajectory. What do you feel when you think about becoming them? Oh, that's a good one. Number five, what identity would you have to give up to actually change? Quote unquote? I am the type of person who what would cost you socially to no longer be that person? Number six, what is the most embarrassing reason you haven't changed? The one that makes you sound weak, scared or lazy rather than reasonable? Number seven, if your current behavior is a form of self protection, what actually are you protecting and what is the protection costing you? Okay, if you answer those truthfully and if you are in the right chapter of your life, you feel a deep sense of dis ease and possibly disgust for how you are currently living. I think this is such a powerful exercise. He says forget practicality for a moment. If you keep if you could snap your fingers and be living a different life in three years, not what's realistic, what would you actually want? What you actually want? What does an average Tuesday look like? Same level of detail as question five. So these are new questions for you. Number two. What would you have to believe about yourself for that life to feel natural rather than enforced? Write the identity statement I am the type of person who. And then fill it in. Number three, what is one thing you would do this week if you were already that person? Answer all of those first thing in the morning. Tomorrow he says. Part 2. Throughout the day, interrupting. Interrupting autopilot, Breaking unconscious patterns. These journaling exercises are cute, but we want real change. Frankly, that's not going to happen if you don't break the current unconscious patterns that are keeping you the same. All right, so throughout the day I want you to comply. Everything you journaled in part one. Beyond that I don't want you to forget to contemplate. Please take this seriously. Number and so the the more random and non conflicting with your schedule there are, the better. So basically he gives an example. You know. 11:00am what am I avoiding right now by doing what I'm doing? 1:30pm if someone filmed the last two hours, what would they conclude I want from my life? 3. 15Am I moving toward the life I hate or the life I want? 5:00pm what's the most important thing I'm pretending isn't important? 7:30. What did I do today out of identity protection rather than genuine desire? Hint, it's most things you do, he says. 9:00pm when did I feel most alive today? When did I feel most dead? Ooh. To add a bit more fuel to the fire, schedule these questions during times where you are either commuting, walking or lying around. What would change if I stopped needing People to see me as blank. And this is in the brackets identity. You wrote in question 10. Although I don't think there was a qu. Oh, so it goes seven. And then when, when I said the one, two, three. It's. It's really eight, nine, ten. Um, he didn't number it as a ten, but it's. It was a three. But this is number ten. And then where in my life am I trading aliveness for safety? What's the smallest version of the person I want to become that I could be tomorrow? And then in the evening synthesizing inside, entering a season of progress. And then you'll answer these questions after today. What feels most true about why you've been stuck? What is the actual enemy? Name it. Clearly not circumstances, not other people. The internal pattern or belief that has been running the show. Number three. Write a single sentence that captures what you refuse to let your life become. This is your anti vision compressed. It should make you feel something when you read it. Number four. Write a single sentence that captures what you've built, what you're building toward, knowing it will evolve. This is your vision. Mvp. Last we lastly. O. That. That was a slip. Lastly, we need to create goals. Okay. Again, these aren't goals that you set for sake of achievement because goals are just projections. Okay, so here we go. One year lens. What would you have to. What would have to be true in one year for you to know you've broken the old pattern? One concrete thing. Number two. One month lens. What would have to be true in one month for the one year lens to remain possible? Number three. Daily lens. What are two to three actions you can time block tomorrow that the person you're becoming would simply do? He says that was a lot. Hopefully it was helpful. And then the last part of is he says turn your life into a video game. There's a quote I'm not even going to try the last name. It's Mahali. Mahali. The optimal state of inner experience is one in which there is order in consciousness. This happens when psychic energy or attention is invested in realistic goals. When skills match the opportunities for action. The pursuit of a goal brings order and awareness because a person must concentrate attention on the task at hand and momentarily forget everything else. Okay. Then he talks about how. How it's. It's helpful to organize all of your insights into one of one coherent plan. Pull out a new page and write down these six components. And by the way, I'm having some allergies so having to clear my throat and my. You can Hear it in my voice a little bit. So I apologize but you anti vision Vision one year goal. One month project. Daily levers and constraints. I'm going to leave those for the article so you can check out the article. If you're watching this you can see on the screen but I, I would encourage you we'll put this in the show notes. Show notes so you can have access to the article. So you turn your life into a video game. Because games are the poster child for obsession, enjoyment and flow states. They all have the components that lead to focus and clarity. I want to read this so you don't understand why he says turn into a video game. So if we reverse engineer what those components are, we can live in a state of deeper enjoyment, less distractions and more success. Your vision is how you win. Your anti vision is what is what's at stake. Your one year goal is the mission. Your one month project is the boss. Boss fight. Your daily levers are the quests. Your constraints are the rules. All of these act as concentric set of circles like a force field that guard guard your mind from distractions and shiny objects. The more you play the game, the stronger this force becomes and soon enough it becomes who you are and wouldn't and you wouldn't have it any other way. So at the end Dan. So thank you Dan for that.
