Operating At An Elite Level with Brandon Fluharty - 265

Nov 29, 2021

Key Takeaways:

  • A lot of people haven’t found purpose in what they do - the best motivation is intrinsic motivation.
  • When you look at elite performers, many have a drive that is driving them toward something most people can’t see.
  • When you can align to that personal north star, that’s when special things can occur.
  • If we’re too busy being busy, when does the real work get done?
  • Elite performers integrate their life and their work because they don’t necessarily view work as work - it is their calling.
  • Everything is connected. 
  • We can move through things much faster when we put them in their appropriate buckets.
  • During your peak energy, do your high level tasks.
  • Leverage the tools available to you.
  • Operate at an elite level so it can be a consistent mode of operation.
  • Unlock insight into yourself.
  • We have two things we can control during the work day - the start of the day and the end of the day.
  • Have a simple routine for the start and the end of your day.
  • At the end of the day, review objectively and plan for tomorrow.
  • Pomodoro Technique - set a timer for 25 minutes and concentrate on one task. When the timer goes off, give yourself permission to take a break.
  • Allow yourself to be a curious human being. 
  • Keep a dedicated place for work and a dedicated place for personal time.
  • You ironically will perform better doing less than you felt like you were doing before because you’ve created a personalized operating system. You’re not just working, you are building a craft.
