00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:03,920
welcome to today's pondering on productivity and personal development

2
00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:08,120
let's dive into a practice that has been pivotal in carving my path to success

3
00:00:08,120 --> 00:00:10,640
yet it escapes mainstream attention

4
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:13,160
the art of strategic procrastination

5
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:16,959
the world champions the early bird glorifies the hustler who strikes at

6
00:00:16,959 --> 00:00:18,559
every opportunity

7
00:00:18,559 --> 00:00:22,139
but in my experience some opportunities are like wine

8
00:00:22,139 --> 00:00:23,959
they mature with time

9
00:00:23,959 --> 00:00:25,440
consider this

10
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:28,980
the most powerful moves i've made weren't because I pounced immediately

11
00:00:28,980 --> 00:00:30,799
because I waited

12
00:00:30,799 --> 00:00:34,480
i weighed the unseen variables and unexpected turn of the market

13
00:00:34,480 --> 00:00:39,380
allowing them to unfold and reveal the optimal moment for action

14
00:00:39,380 --> 00:00:40,500
picture chess

15
00:00:40,500 --> 00:00:43,939
the grandmasters are not those who move fastest but those who move with

16
00:00:43,939 --> 00:00:45,759
intention

17
00:00:45,759 --> 00:00:47,820
now onto habit formation

18
00:00:47,820 --> 00:00:51,980
mainstream advice insist upon a rigid structure and adherence to routines

19
00:00:51,980 --> 00:00:54,820
claiming they are the sinew of success

20
00:00:54,820 --> 00:00:57,139
but let me offer a different perspective

21
00:00:57,139 --> 00:01:00,099
adaptability has been my cornerstone habit

22
00:01:00,099 --> 00:01:01,500
systems are crucial

23
00:01:01,500 --> 00:01:05,940
but a fixation on them can lead to an inflexibility that stifles creativity

24
00:01:05,940 --> 00:01:08,500
and blinds you to shifts in the market place

25
00:01:08,500 --> 00:01:09,879
the willingness to pivot

26
00:01:09,879 --> 00:01:13,440
to dismantle and rebuild your daily rituals in response to the evolving

27
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:15,800
landscape is a potent skill

28
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:17,220
embrace flexibility

29
00:01:17,220 --> 00:01:20,300
and you embrace the possibility

30
00:01:20,300 --> 00:01:21,839
as for personal development

31
00:01:21,839 --> 00:01:23,120
let's talk networking

32
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,779
everyone says your network is your net worth

33
00:01:25,779 --> 00:01:28,400
i say too many connections dilute value

34
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:29,959
like an overstock pantry

35
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,059
it's full but chaotic

36
00:01:32,059 --> 00:01:35,699
focus on building a few multifaceted relationships that can withstand the

37
00:01:35,699 --> 00:01:38,440
ebb and flow of industry tides

38
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:42,680
quality trumps quantity every time when it comes to your circle of influence

39
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:46,279
i believe in investing time not just money in people

40
00:01:46,279 --> 00:01:47,739
it's a nuanced craft

41
00:01:47,739 --> 00:01:50,500
selecting individuals who are not just successful

42
00:01:50,500 --> 00:01:53,339
but also align with your values and vision

43
00:01:53,339 --> 00:01:56,680
it's easy to chase the luminaries but sometimes the quiet contributor in the

44
00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:00,180
corner has insights worth their weight in gold

45
00:02:00,180 --> 00:02:01,500
success you see

46
00:02:01,500 --> 00:02:03,919
isn't always in the grandiose gestures

47
00:02:03,919 --> 00:02:05,720
it's often hidden in the pauses

48
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:09,160
the reflection, the undeccurent of your daily life

49
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,380
in some embrace strategic procrastination

50
00:02:12,380 --> 00:02:14,860
let certain decisions breathe

51
00:02:14,860 --> 00:02:17,699
practice adaptability over strict routines

52
00:02:17,699 --> 00:02:21,139
and cultivate deep rather than broad networks

53
00:02:21,139 --> 00:02:23,279
before you go ask yourself

54
00:02:23,339 --> 00:02:25,539
are you choosing your moments with intention

55
00:02:25,539 --> 00:02:28,619
or are you being swept away by the rush to act

56
00:02:28,619 --> 00:02:30,119
are your habits serving you

57
00:02:30,119 --> 00:02:31,860
or are you serving them

58
00:02:31,860 --> 00:02:36,119
are your relationships a source of strength or just the list of names

59
00:02:36,119 --> 00:02:37,800
if these thoughts resonate with you

60
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:38,839
subscribe

61
00:02:38,839 --> 00:02:42,899
and share this with peers who understand that hidden in these quiet insights

62
00:02:42,899 --> 00:02:45,600
is the roar true potential

63
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:49,660
thank you for lending me your ears and until next time ponder deeply

64
00:02:49,660 --> 00:02:50,259
act wisely
