3 Things I Learned Last Week #31 – Decoding Success, Time, and Continuous Learning

Hello, curious mind! 🧠

Pardon the interruption from your previously scheduled cat video or comfort-food recipe hunt. Just me, Nathan, trying to sprinkle a bit of “woah, I didn’t know that” into your day.

In this weekly dispatch, I go full-on Sherlock, sifting through the web’s densest jungles (some call them “resources”) and serve up the juiciest morsels of wisdom. Why? To inject some surprise into your week and maybe — just maybe — to make you the star of your next virtual water cooler chat.

Got your coffee? Good. Perhaps a pastry? Even better. Let’s unravel this!

🚀 The Secret Sauce to Success

Ever gaze up at the stars and wonder, “How can I be the Beyoncé of my industry?”

Well, Ali Abdaal’s video, a crib note of “The Diary of a CEO”, might just have the answer.

🔑 Bite-sized Wisdom:

• Think of career growth like filling a fancy cocktail: knowledge, skills, network, resources, and reputation. But watch the order you pour!
• Treat yo’self. No, seriously. Your well-being? That’s the golden goblet. Fill it up with physical and mental self-love.
• Heard of the Kaizen approach? It’s not a new sushi roll; it’s about small, consistent growth steps. Yum!

🕰️ That Time-Defying Productivity Trick

Longer hours = more stuff done, right? WRONG. Let’s redefine “productivity” with a less-is-more, James Bond kinda vibe.

🔑 Bite-sized Wisdom:

• Focus on the 3 E’s: elimination, energizing efficiency, and espresso (okay, maybe not the last one but it helps!).
• Squeeze, don’t stretch. Compress work and see efficiency soar by up to 500%. Not a typo.
• Think Tetris, not tornado. Slot tasks into set hours and get that sweet work-life harmony.

🎥 Let’s redefine hustle, shall we?

📚 After Hours: Turning Netflix Time into Wisdom Time

Who said school’s out forever? (Okay, maybe Alice Cooper.) But, learning? That’s a forever gig. Let’s learn how to juggle binge-watching and brain-boosting.

🔑 Bite-sized Wisdom:

• Weave learning into your everyday like it’s the hottest new TikTok dance. Groove with it but keep those eyes sharp.
• Gadgets? Check. Effective note-taking? Double-check. Your playbook for faster, smarter insights.
• Balance brain munchies (info consumption) with brain naps (introspection) to juice up creativity.
