0:00:30.529,0:00:37.410 \ngood to be here good morning Ray’s great<\/p>\n
0:00:34.200,0:00:38.850 \nwe have a fantastic show today we are<\/p>\n
0:00:37.410,0:00:41.129 \ngoing to be talking a little bit<\/p>\n
0:00:38.850,0:00:43.170 \nphilosophically today not that we don’t<\/p>\n
0:00:41.129,0:00:46.320 \nphilosophically talk on most episodes<\/p>\n
0:00:43.170,0:00:48.870 \nright but but today we’re gonna be<\/p>\n
0:00:46.320,0:00:52.170 \ntalking about productivity and its<\/p>\n
0:00:48.870,0:00:54.120 \nrelationship to integrity and what I<\/p>\n
0:00:52.170,0:00:57.420 \nwanted us to do is to start off with a<\/p>\n
0:00:54.120,0:00:58.980 \ndiscussion about how we actually define<\/p>\n
0:00:57.420,0:01:01.440 \nintegrity because I think it’s actually<\/p>\n
0:00:58.980,0:01:05.820 \nvery different from person to person in<\/p>\n
0:01:01.440,0:01:10.110 \nterms of what integrity is I think for<\/p>\n
0:01:05.820,0:01:13.159 \nme integrity means having a system that<\/p>\n
0:01:10.110,0:01:17.220 \nis complete so that nothing is missing<\/p>\n
0:01:13.159,0:01:19.979 \nthat there are no elements that are out<\/p>\n
0:01:17.220,0:01:21.740 \nof place but I find with a lot of my<\/p>\n
0:01:19.979,0:01:24.479 \nclients and people that train is that<\/p>\n
0:01:21.740,0:01:27.590 \ntheir systems are are for the most part<\/p>\n
0:01:24.479,0:01:29.460 \nself developed or self created and<\/p>\n
0:01:27.590,0:01:31.409 \nsomewhere in their teens they put<\/p>\n
0:01:29.460,0:01:34.799 \ntogether a bunch of habits practices and<\/p>\n
0:01:31.409,0:01:37.170 \ntools and they come into adulthood and<\/p>\n
0:01:34.799,0:01:38.430 \nsometimes in late adulthood never really<\/p>\n
0:01:37.170,0:01:41.369 \nhaving examined what they put together<\/p>\n
0:01:38.430,0:01:44.220 \nand as a result sometimes something is<\/p>\n
0:01:41.369,0:01:46.290 \nmissing so for example I’m working with<\/p>\n
0:01:44.220,0:01:47.430 \none client one trainee who told me that<\/p>\n
0:01:46.290,0:01:50.369 \nyou know she was feeling really guilty<\/p>\n
0:01:47.430,0:01:52.939 \nbecause she couldn’t remember all of her<\/p>\n
0:01:50.369,0:01:56.340 \ntasks and I said well you probably<\/p>\n
0:01:52.939,0:01:57.659 \noutlive and outstrip the boundaries of<\/p>\n
0:01:56.340,0:01:59.850 \nyour memory you probably need to use<\/p>\n
0:01:57.659,0:02:01.860 \nsomething totally different like writing<\/p>\n
0:01:59.850,0:02:05.009 \nit down or capturing it on a smartphone<\/p>\n
0:02:01.860,0:02:07.290 \nor using some recording device or<\/p>\n
0:02:05.009,0:02:09.660 \nsomething and she said oh I didn’t<\/p>\n
0:02:07.290,0:02:12.660 \nrealize that she thought that she needed<\/p>\n
0:02:09.660,0:02:13.890 \nto use her memory so for her being all<\/p>\n
0:02:12.660,0:02:15.660 \nof integrity menu<\/p>\n
0:02:13.890,0:02:18.600 \na system for capturing that couldn’t<\/p>\n
0:02:15.660,0:02:20.940 \nkeep up with the demands on her life so<\/p>\n
0:02:18.600,0:02:23.790 \nfor me integrity is having all of the<\/p>\n
0:02:20.940,0:02:26.970 \nelements in place and having a complete<\/p>\n
0:02:23.790,0:02:29.040 \nset that works for the individual that<\/p>\n
0:02:26.970,0:02:33.600 \nmakes a lot of sense and I think a lot<\/p>\n
0:02:29.040,0:02:37.320 \nof people miss the idea that one can<\/p>\n
0:02:33.600,0:02:41.250 \nhave their system and still have areas<\/p>\n
0:02:37.320,0:02:43.350 \nthat need to improve and if you are in<\/p>\n
0:02:41.250,0:02:45.750 \nsome way shape or form feeling pain in a<\/p>\n
0:02:43.350,0:02:47.730 \npart of your life then that means the<\/p>\n
0:02:45.750,0:02:49.980 \nsystem itself is potentially lacking<\/p>\n
0:02:47.730,0:02:51.690 \nintegrity and and is something that can<\/p>\n
0:02:49.980,0:02:55.620 \nbe worked on and we’ll talk about that<\/p>\n
0:02:51.690,0:02:59.489 \nlater in this episode integrity is do<\/p>\n
0:02:55.620,0:03:02.100 \nwhat you said you were going to do when<\/p>\n
0:02:59.489,0:03:07.080 \nyou said you were going to do it it<\/p>\n
0:03:02.100,0:03:09.810 \nsounds simple but it is of people with<\/p>\n
0:03:07.080,0:03:13.050 \nlistening today Pro one of the hardest<\/p>\n
0:03:09.810,0:03:15.840 \nthing to do and when you’re going to<\/p>\n
0:03:13.050,0:03:19.440 \ntalk about productivity systems and<\/p>\n
0:03:15.840,0:03:21.690 \nintegrity conscious or not that is the<\/p>\n
0:03:19.440,0:03:24.690 \nreason that make people start looking<\/p>\n
0:03:21.690,0:03:27.239 \nfor a better productivity system or for<\/p>\n
0:03:24.690,0:03:29.430 \nthe first productivity system is the<\/p>\n
0:03:27.239,0:03:31.739 \nfact that they are saying they are going<\/p>\n
0:03:29.430,0:03:34.320 \nto accomplish they are going to do or<\/p>\n
0:03:31.739,0:03:37.079 \nthey are going to deliver things that<\/p>\n
0:03:34.320,0:03:39.480 \nare not happening right now and they are<\/p>\n
0:03:37.079,0:03:42.299 \nnot happening at the time they’re even<\/p>\n
0:03:39.480,0:03:47.430 \noffering them or they’re not happening<\/p>\n
0:03:42.299,0:03:49.860 \nat all and they need to match what is<\/p>\n
0:03:47.430,0:03:51.570 \nhappening in their life with what they<\/p>\n
0:03:49.860,0:03:52.200 \nare saying it should be happening in<\/p>\n
0:03:51.570,0:03:54.540 \ntheir life<\/p>\n
0:03:52.200,0:03:56.610 \nnow as Francis said with his person<\/p>\n
0:03:54.540,0:03:59.070 \ntrying to remember everything the<\/p>\n
0:03:56.610,0:04:02.579 \nproblem is not if she was forgetting or<\/p>\n
0:03:59.070,0:04:06.570 \nnot forgetting and the problem is she<\/p>\n
0:04:02.579,0:04:10.230 \nknows out of her integrity or his<\/p>\n
0:04:06.570,0:04:12.480 \nintegrity that he or she wasn’t doing<\/p>\n
0:04:10.230,0:04:14.970 \nwhat she was saying that she was going<\/p>\n
0:04:12.480,0:04:18.060 \nto do at the time that she was going to<\/p>\n
0:04:14.970,0:04:21.209 \ndo and that is the reason most people<\/p>\n
0:04:18.060,0:04:24.890 \nlook desperate into productivity is to<\/p>\n
0:04:21.209,0:04:26.160 \nbe able to work with that integrity<\/p>\n
0:04:24.890,0:04:30.750 \nhello<\/p>\n
0:04:26.160,0:04:35.330 \nand to be able to be more effective on<\/p>\n
0:04:30.750,0:04:38.450 \nthe send people is not looking to cross<\/p>\n
0:04:35.330,0:04:43.320 \ninstead of ten items out of their least<\/p>\n
0:04:38.450,0:04:46.200 \n25 450 or more people is looking to<\/p>\n
0:04:43.320,0:04:49.950 \nmatch what they said they were going to<\/p>\n
0:04:46.200,0:04:52.590 \ndo with what they are actually doing and<\/p>\n
0:04:49.950,0:04:55.410 \nthat what they are trying to do in a<\/p>\n
0:04:52.590,0:04:58.680 \nmore simpler way is try to match these<\/p>\n
0:04:55.410,0:05:00.900 \nor to bring integrity to the table<\/p>\n
0:04:58.680,0:05:04.670 \nand do what they are actually trying to<\/p>\n
0:05:00.900,0:05:04.670 \nare saying that they’re going to do I<\/p>\n
0:05:05.690,0:05:12.150 \nsee integrity as an alignment of a<\/p>\n
0:05:10.230,0:05:15.090 \ncomplete system sort of the alignment<\/p>\n
0:05:12.150,0:05:16.950 \nand commitment to a complete system and<\/p>\n
0:05:15.090,0:05:20.430 \nI think that’s really important for<\/p>\n
0:05:16.950,0:05:23.370 \npeople to truly be trusting of their<\/p>\n
0:05:20.430,0:05:25.920 \nsystem right because integrity increases<\/p>\n
0:05:23.370,0:05:28.380 \ntrust both in an in an interpersonal<\/p>\n
0:05:25.920,0:05:31.410 \nperspective right if you if you believe<\/p>\n
0:05:28.380,0:05:34.320 \nsomeone lives with integrity you believe<\/p>\n
0:05:31.410,0:05:37.740 \nthey live with some moral code some<\/p>\n
0:05:34.320,0:05:39.150 \nsense of ethics and therefore they are<\/p>\n
0:05:37.740,0:05:42.510 \nthey have the sort of moral uprightness<\/p>\n
0:05:39.150,0:05:45.300 \nin personal productivity it’s really a<\/p>\n
0:05:42.510,0:05:47.700 \nrelationship with yourself and others to<\/p>\n
0:05:45.300,0:05:50.810 \ngetting things done and I believe it’s<\/p>\n
0:05:47.700,0:05:53.880 \nthat that alignment and commitment to<\/p>\n
0:05:50.810,0:05:55.290 \nthe systems that you’ve created that are<\/p>\n
0:05:53.880,0:05:59.970 \nreally important in personal<\/p>\n
0:05:55.290,0:06:03.300 \nproductivity so how does one integrate<\/p>\n
0:05:59.970,0:06:05.010 \npersonal productivity systems into their<\/p>\n
0:06:03.300,0:06:07.890 \nlife so that their there is this<\/p>\n
0:06:05.010,0:06:10.320 \nwholeness and this relationship that<\/p>\n
0:06:07.890,0:06:12.950 \nthat seems to be right if you want to<\/p>\n
0:06:10.320,0:06:16.830 \ncall it that versus wrong in your life<\/p>\n
0:06:12.950,0:06:19.170 \nmy opinion is that most people don’t go<\/p>\n
0:06:16.830,0:06:21.240 \npast complaining so they don’t they<\/p>\n
0:06:19.170,0:06:23.490 \ndon’t deal with themselves from the<\/p>\n
0:06:21.240,0:06:26.610 \npoint of view that their integrity is<\/p>\n
0:06:23.490,0:06:28.680 \nimportant enough to stop complaining so<\/p>\n
0:06:26.610,0:06:30.180 \nthey may see it they see the problem<\/p>\n
0:06:28.680,0:06:32.250 \nthey see that for example that they<\/p>\n
0:06:30.180,0:06:34.520 \npromise to be there at 6:00 and it<\/p>\n
0:06:32.250,0:06:37.919 \ndidn’t make it make it there at 6:00 and<\/p>\n
0:06:34.520,0:06:39.660 \nthey give an excuse and that that for<\/p>\n
0:06:37.919,0:06:40.160 \nthem is sufficient to cause the problem<\/p>\n
0:06:39.660,0:06:42.860 \nto<\/p>\n
0:06:40.160,0:06:45.770 \nthat’s most people I think there’s a<\/p>\n
0:06:42.860,0:06:49.820 \nhandful of people a few who are willing<\/p>\n
0:06:45.770,0:06:51.980 \nto say there’s something that is causing<\/p>\n
0:06:49.820,0:06:54.440 \nme to be late and it’s something to do<\/p>\n
0:06:51.980,0:06:57.320 \nwith me most people don’t make that step<\/p>\n
0:06:54.440,0:06:59.960 \nand start to reflect and then do other<\/p>\n
0:06:57.320,0:07:02.720 \nsteps like for example doing an<\/p>\n
0:06:59.960,0:07:05.450 \nevaluation of their behaviors in some<\/p>\n
0:07:02.720,0:07:08.180 \nkind of objective way to try and see how<\/p>\n
0:07:05.450,0:07:12.560 \ncan I take my system to the next level<\/p>\n
0:07:08.180,0:07:14.600 \nso that I can have more integrity in all<\/p>\n
0:07:12.560,0:07:16.280 \nthe ways that we’ve talked about so they<\/p>\n
0:07:14.600,0:07:18.320 \nthey it doesn’t even occur to them as a<\/p>\n
0:07:16.280,0:07:20.510 \nproblem it’s just a circumstance of life<\/p>\n
0:07:18.320,0:07:22.250 \nand everyone has circumstances that<\/p>\n
0:07:20.510,0:07:24.950 \neveryone has stuff happens that you<\/p>\n
0:07:22.250,0:07:26.270 \ncan’t do anything about it and and<\/p>\n
0:07:24.950,0:07:30.140 \nthat’s that’s where they ended their<\/p>\n
0:07:26.270,0:07:32.290 \ntheir sort of internal dialogue I think<\/p>\n
0:07:30.140,0:07:34.610 \nagain once again the exceptional people<\/p>\n
0:07:32.290,0:07:37.130 \ndeal with themselves at a higher<\/p>\n
0:07:34.610,0:07:39.350 \nstandard and they say I’m not gonna<\/p>\n
0:07:37.130,0:07:43.400 \ncontinue to put up with the fact that<\/p>\n
0:07:39.350,0:07:46.610 \nI’m always late I’m going to rigorously<\/p>\n
0:07:43.400,0:07:48.740 \ntry to figure out what the solution<\/p>\n
0:07:46.610,0:07:52.040 \nmight be and that you know that that<\/p>\n
0:07:48.740,0:07:54.950 \nsends them to you know articles on the<\/p>\n
0:07:52.040,0:07:58.550 \ninternet or buying books to purchasing<\/p>\n
0:07:54.950,0:08:00.919 \napps to picking up a new device so to<\/p>\n
0:07:58.550,0:08:03.590 \nwhatever it might the action might be<\/p>\n
0:08:00.919,0:08:05.480 \nbut when someone has that problem it<\/p>\n
0:08:03.590,0:08:07.730 \ntakes the exceptional person to some<\/p>\n
0:08:05.480,0:08:09.490 \nkind of search for solutions and it’s<\/p>\n
0:08:07.730,0:08:12.980 \nalways an internal search it’s not a<\/p>\n
0:08:09.490,0:08:15.140 \nblame the world kind of think solution<\/p>\n
0:08:12.980,0:08:17.200 \nit has to do with the individual I<\/p>\n
0:08:15.140,0:08:22.010 \nI need to agree with a lot of what<\/p>\n
0:08:17.200,0:08:26.120 \nFrancis has said sadly we leave on an<\/p>\n
0:08:22.010,0:08:29.570 \ninstant gratification society where we<\/p>\n
0:08:26.120,0:08:35.479 \nare looking for the simplest and the<\/p>\n
0:08:29.570,0:08:39.110 \nfastest of the solution and integrity<\/p>\n
0:08:35.479,0:08:43.360 \nand productivity it’s not accept of that<\/p>\n
0:08:39.110,0:08:48.790 \nand people tend to spend more time<\/p>\n
0:08:43.360,0:08:52.160 \nlooking for those instant solutions than<\/p>\n
0:08:48.790,0:08:54.050 \nspending the time working to find a<\/p>\n

0:08:54.050,0:09:01.370 \nguilty of charge by the way I I wish to<\/p>\n
0:08:57.529,0:09:04.130 \nsay that in everything that caused my<\/p>\n
0:09:01.370,0:09:06.170 \nrealm I first looked for the more<\/p>\n
0:09:04.130,0:09:08.360 \ncomplex solution and then I look for the<\/p>\n
0:09:06.170,0:09:13.450 \nsimple one but it Oh for the instant one<\/p>\n
0:09:08.360,0:09:16.130 \nbut the reality is we all try to find<\/p>\n
0:09:13.450,0:09:19.250 \nsome time or the other the simple<\/p>\n
0:09:16.130,0:09:21.920 \nsolution but as Francis said there is<\/p>\n
0:09:19.250,0:09:25.850 \nonly a small percentage of people who<\/p>\n
0:09:21.920,0:09:29.230 \nafter that initial search fail then go<\/p>\n
0:09:25.850,0:09:33.830 \nto the next step and look for the other<\/p>\n
0:09:29.230,0:09:36.860 \ndifficult path years ago we’re talking<\/p>\n
0:09:33.830,0:09:38.899 \nabout but we are now going where I’m<\/p>\n
0:09:36.860,0:09:43.880 \ngoing to be celebrating the 10th<\/p>\n
0:09:38.899,0:09:48.470 \nanniversary of this next year I was I<\/p>\n
0:09:43.880,0:09:50.870 \nweight around 400 pounds for the people<\/p>\n
0:09:48.470,0:09:53.810 \nwho’s not in the u.s. it’s a little bit<\/p>\n
0:09:50.870,0:09:56.930 \nover 200 kilograms and and I look for<\/p>\n
0:09:53.810,0:09:58.820 \nall the solutions to that I tried many<\/p>\n
0:09:56.930,0:10:01.459 \nthings at the moment I decided that I<\/p>\n
0:09:58.820,0:10:04.100 \nwas going to do something about it and<\/p>\n
0:10:01.459,0:10:06.980 \nwhen everything or all those solutions<\/p>\n
0:10:04.100,0:10:09.950 \nfail me then was the moment that I<\/p>\n
0:10:06.980,0:10:12.589 \nneeded to look and fit and make the hard<\/p>\n
0:10:09.950,0:10:15.440 \ncall on the hard decision or bring<\/p>\n
0:10:12.589,0:10:18.160 \nintegrity to the table this was a<\/p>\n
0:10:15.440,0:10:21.320 \nproblem I was going to look into<\/p>\n
0:10:18.160,0:10:22.940 \nregardless how painful it was or it was<\/p>\n
0:10:21.320,0:10:29.180 \na problem that I was going to continue<\/p>\n
0:10:22.940,0:10:32.089 \nignoring ok today I am I weighed less<\/p>\n
0:10:29.180,0:10:35.510 \nthan 50% of that and I’m still working<\/p>\n
0:10:32.089,0:10:37.339 \non it but it was a plan that is easy to<\/p>\n
0:10:35.510,0:10:40.490 \nsay but if I said when I’m coming to<\/p>\n
0:10:37.339,0:10:44.149 \ncelebrate my 10th year anniversary with<\/p>\n
0:10:40.490,0:10:48.529 \nthat and some of these things required<\/p>\n
0:10:44.149,0:10:51.680 \nyou to go into this more complex and<\/p>\n
0:10:48.529,0:10:54.170 \nlong and painful process in order to get<\/p>\n
0:10:51.680,0:10:57.560 \nit productivity sadly is one of those<\/p>\n
0:10:54.170,0:11:00.790 \nyou can kick you can complain you can<\/p>\n
0:10:57.560,0:11:05.750 \ncry all that you want but the problem is<\/p>\n
0:11:00.790,0:11:07.520 \nyou can fool most people most of the<\/p>\n
0:11:05.750,0:11:10.280 \ntime you can say<\/p>\n
0:11:07.520,0:11:12.290 \na lot of people a lot of the time but<\/p>\n
0:11:10.280,0:11:15.520 \nyou cannot fool everybody all the time<\/p>\n
0:11:12.290,0:11:19.370 \nand especially you cannot fool yourself<\/p>\n
0:11:15.520,0:11:22.460 \nyou can set Oh immaculate integrity and<\/p>\n
0:11:19.370,0:11:25.100 \nlook how great is my system and most<\/p>\n
0:11:22.460,0:11:28.550 \npeople will never know but the reality<\/p>\n
0:11:25.100,0:11:32.240 \nis you will know 24\/7<\/p>\n
0:11:28.550,0:11:34.490 \nif in fact your system is working or is<\/p>\n
0:11:32.240,0:11:36.740 \nnot working if you are acting on<\/p>\n
0:11:34.490,0:11:42.620 \nintegrity or you are not acting on<\/p>\n
0:11:36.740,0:11:45.980 \nintegrity that element make it critical<\/p>\n
0:11:42.620,0:11:49.070 \nfor when you we talk about personal<\/p>\n
0:11:45.980,0:11:51.410 \nproductivity because the problem is if<\/p>\n
0:11:49.070,0:11:54.410 \nyou don’t look at personal productivity<\/p>\n
0:11:51.410,0:11:58.210 \nand the relationship with integrity and<\/p>\n
0:11:54.410,0:12:01.490 \nhow that relationship affect your life<\/p>\n
0:11:58.210,0:12:05.840 \nyou will not know how the negative<\/p>\n
0:12:01.490,0:12:09.320 \naffects crowd and really affect or in<\/p>\n
0:12:05.840,0:12:11.240 \nfact everything on a negative point you<\/p>\n
0:12:09.320,0:12:13.700 \nbring up a lot of really interesting<\/p>\n
0:12:11.240,0:12:15.890 \npoints Augusto and and Francis when you<\/p>\n
0:12:13.700,0:12:19.100 \ntalk about integrity I tend to lend<\/p>\n
0:12:15.890,0:12:21.560 \ntoward dr. Steven Covey the late dr.<\/p>\n
0:12:19.100,0:12:23.300 \nCovey’s work when it comes to to the<\/p>\n
0:12:21.560,0:12:26.210 \ndiscussion of integrity since he really<\/p>\n
0:12:23.300,0:12:27.500 \ndid focus on it so much in his works the<\/p>\n
0:12:26.210,0:12:30.140 \nseven Habits of Highly Effective People<\/p>\n
0:12:27.500,0:12:32.210 \nas well as the eighth habit for those<\/p>\n
0:12:30.140,0:12:35.330 \nwho don’t know the seven Habits by heart<\/p>\n
0:12:32.210,0:12:38.110 \nlike I do have it number four talks<\/p>\n
0:12:35.330,0:12:40.670 \nabout think win-win and this idea<\/p>\n
0:12:38.110,0:12:43.580 \nencompasses three vital character traits<\/p>\n
0:12:40.670,0:12:46.540 \nit really encourages needs it’s vital<\/p>\n
0:12:43.580,0:12:49.880 \nit needs integrity maturity and<\/p>\n
0:12:46.540,0:12:52.460 \nabundance mentality and in terms of<\/p>\n
0:12:49.880,0:12:56.060 \nintegrity I’ll just quote dr. Covey in<\/p>\n
0:12:52.460,0:12:59.180 \nin how he defines integrity here<\/p>\n
0:12:56.060,0:13:01.940 \nhe says honesty is telling the truth in<\/p>\n
0:12:59.180,0:13:05.660 \nother words conforming our words to<\/p>\n
0:13:01.940,0:13:08.570 \nreality integrity is conforming reality<\/p>\n
0:13:05.660,0:13:11.030 \nto our words in other words keeping<\/p>\n
0:13:08.570,0:13:13.760 \npromises and fulfilling expectations<\/p>\n
0:13:11.030,0:13:16.820 \nthis requires an integrated character a<\/p>\n
0:13:13.760,0:13:19.970 \noneness primarily with self but also<\/p>\n
0:13:16.820,0:13:21.949 \nwith life so I think<\/p>\n
0:13:19.970,0:13:24.139 \nCuffy covers something really important<\/p>\n
0:13:21.949,0:13:25.839 \nthere that combines what your both are<\/p>\n
0:13:24.139,0:13:28.339 \ntalking about here and is really<\/p>\n
0:13:25.839,0:13:30.709 \nimportant to personal productivity<\/p>\n
0:13:28.339,0:13:32.480 \nsystems I really do believe that in<\/p>\n
0:13:30.709,0:13:35.329 \norder for you to be highly productive<\/p>\n
0:13:32.480,0:13:37.459 \nfor you to really overcome many of<\/p>\n
0:13:35.329,0:13:40.759 \nlife’s obstacles whether they be health<\/p>\n
0:13:37.459,0:13:42.949 \nrelated or interpersonal which i think<\/p>\n
0:13:40.759,0:13:44.629 \nis probably close related to your health<\/p>\n
0:13:42.949,0:13:47.449 \nand all of the other things<\/p>\n
0:13:44.629,0:13:48.740 \ntechnological technical and otherwise I<\/p>\n
0:13:47.449,0:13:52.160 \nthink it’s really important for you to<\/p>\n
0:13:48.740,0:13:53.269 \nbe able to identify problems have that<\/p>\n
0:13:52.160,0:13:56.839 \nself-awareness that you talked about<\/p>\n
0:13:53.269,0:14:01.069 \nFrancis and then really start to think<\/p>\n
0:13:56.839,0:14:03.560 \nabout how the system is serving you as<\/p>\n
0:14:01.069,0:14:06.350 \nopposed to you serving the system so<\/p>\n
0:14:03.560,0:14:08.540 \nvery dissimilar to leadership or at<\/p>\n
0:14:06.350,0:14:10.040 \nleast some leadership styles today in<\/p>\n
0:14:08.540,0:14:11.480 \nmanagement we talk about servant<\/p>\n
0:14:10.040,0:14:14.149 \nleadership this idea that you’re<\/p>\n
0:14:11.480,0:14:16.699 \nsupposed to be supporting your staff and<\/p>\n
0:14:14.149,0:14:18.589 \nthe people who report to you in and and<\/p>\n
0:14:16.699,0:14:21.319 \nyour community in order to be able to<\/p>\n
0:14:18.589,0:14:23.029 \ntruly lead it I think it’s very<\/p>\n
0:14:21.319,0:14:26.389 \ndifferent for personal productivity I<\/p>\n
0:14:23.029,0:14:28.639 \nthink it’s because your system should be<\/p>\n
0:14:26.389,0:14:30.529 \ncontinually supporting you you need to<\/p>\n
0:14:28.639,0:14:33.589 \nmaintain the system and I think that’s a<\/p>\n
0:14:30.529,0:14:36.230 \npart of integrity but you really do need<\/p>\n
0:14:33.589,0:14:38.709 \nto command your system and that means<\/p>\n
0:14:36.230,0:14:41.300 \nidentifying where there are potential<\/p>\n
0:14:38.709,0:14:43.790 \nshortfalls in the system and then<\/p>\n
0:14:41.300,0:14:46.129 \nshoring those up and in doing that<\/p>\n
0:14:43.790,0:14:48.620 \ndifficult work of saying okay well I<\/p>\n
0:14:46.129,0:14:51.259 \ndon’t have these skills do I need to<\/p>\n
0:14:48.620,0:14:55.519 \ndevelop these skills and many times<\/p>\n
0:14:51.259,0:14:59.149 \npeople are unwilling to take the time to<\/p>\n
0:14:55.519,0:15:01.250 \nlook at what’s wrong and then and think<\/p>\n
0:14:59.149,0:15:03.410 \nof it from a solutions perspective from<\/p>\n
0:15:01.250,0:15:05.779 \nwhat’s a what’s an alternative to this<\/p>\n
0:15:03.410,0:15:10.689 \nthat’s positive and constructive as<\/p>\n
0:15:05.779,0:15:13.339 \nopposed to I’m bad I’m stupid I’m<\/p>\n
0:15:10.689,0:15:15.439 \nnegative adjectives you just fill in the<\/p>\n
0:15:13.339,0:15:17.930 \nblank of the negative adjectives and<\/p>\n
0:15:15.439,0:15:20.089 \nnouns that we call ourselves and and I<\/p>\n
0:15:17.930,0:15:23.720 \nthink that negative self speak actually<\/p>\n
0:15:20.089,0:15:27.290 \nstarts to impede on one’s integrity it<\/p>\n
0:15:23.720,0:15:29.929 \nstarts to ruin it so one you need to you<\/p>\n
0:15:27.290,0:15:32.640 \nneed to lean into the positive side of<\/p>\n
0:15:29.929,0:15:34.170 \nyour productive skills<\/p>\n
0:15:32.640,0:15:36.030 \nand then you need to actually do those<\/p>\n
0:15:34.170,0:15:38.220 \nthings right so sort of two parts there<\/p>\n
0:15:36.030,0:15:40.830 \nright you have to this is not delusional<\/p>\n
0:15:38.220,0:15:44.250 \nby the way I frequently talked to people<\/p>\n
0:15:40.830,0:15:47.010 \nwho well I don’t feel positive or I<\/p>\n
0:15:44.250,0:15:49.530 \ndon’t feel productive about this or that<\/p>\n
0:15:47.010,0:15:51.420 \nwell that’s okay it’s understandable and<\/p>\n
0:15:49.530,0:15:53.190 \neven to the effect that some people say<\/p>\n
0:15:51.420,0:15:54.270 \nwell it’s not realistic well the reality<\/p>\n
0:15:53.190,0:15:55.530 \nis is that the world has enough<\/p>\n
0:15:54.270,0:15:58.200 \nnegativity in it<\/p>\n
0:15:55.530,0:16:00.150 \nyou don’t need to add to it so my my<\/p>\n
0:15:58.200,0:16:02.310 \nsuggestion to everyone is just to lean<\/p>\n
0:16:00.150,0:16:04.020 \ninto the productive side as if some<\/p>\n
0:16:02.310,0:16:05.970 \ntherapists would tell you just lean into<\/p>\n
0:16:04.020,0:16:07.650 \nthe emotion but I would lean into the<\/p>\n
0:16:05.970,0:16:09.510 \npositive side of things versus the<\/p>\n
0:16:07.650,0:16:12.120 \nnegative and I think that starts to open<\/p>\n
0:16:09.510,0:16:14.820 \nup the opportunity for solutions and<\/p>\n
0:16:12.120,0:16:17.340 \nthen your ability to then say I’m going<\/p>\n
0:16:14.820,0:16:19.230 \nto go do those things now I wanted to<\/p>\n
0:16:17.340,0:16:22.320 \nmove us along in the conversation in<\/p>\n
0:16:19.230,0:16:26.640 \nterms of how we can how we can raise the<\/p>\n
0:16:22.320,0:16:29.700 \nbar on integrity in our own productivity<\/p>\n
0:16:26.640,0:16:34.260 \nsystems and have sort of a thoughtful<\/p>\n
0:16:29.700,0:16:36.810 \ndiscussion about how we all are doing in<\/p>\n
0:16:34.260,0:16:39.570 \nour productivity systems and ways in<\/p>\n
0:16:36.810,0:16:42.600 \nwhich we can potentially improve that<\/p>\n
0:16:39.570,0:16:45.390 \nintegrity that wholeness my current area<\/p>\n
0:16:42.600,0:16:48.330 \nof productivity that I’m really trying<\/p>\n
0:16:45.390,0:16:51.180 \nto that I’m trying to clean up right now<\/p>\n
0:16:48.330,0:16:54.690 \nis that I frequently talk about this<\/p>\n
0:16:51.180,0:16:58.890 \nconcept of integration across digital<\/p>\n
0:16:54.690,0:17:00.870 \ntools and today I use as we’ve talked<\/p>\n
0:16:58.890,0:17:03.870 \nabout before many different platforms on<\/p>\n
0:17:00.870,0:17:07.949 \na daily basis and across my entire<\/p>\n
0:17:03.870,0:17:10.949 \nsystem I believe in having a uniform set<\/p>\n
0:17:07.949,0:17:14.370 \nof categories buckets for things things<\/p>\n
0:17:10.949,0:17:16.140 \nI call life categories and I really<\/p>\n
0:17:14.370,0:17:18.000 \nthink that level of integrity in your<\/p>\n
0:17:16.140,0:17:20.550 \nsystem does a whole bunch of really<\/p>\n
0:17:18.000,0:17:24.329 \npositive things so let’s just take a<\/p>\n
0:17:20.550,0:17:26.880 \nvery very basic basic example of home<\/p>\n
0:17:24.329,0:17:30.330 \nhealth and work right just three very<\/p>\n
0:17:26.880,0:17:33.450 \nbasic categories if you had a system<\/p>\n
0:17:30.330,0:17:37.470 \nwhereby you had three calendars home<\/p>\n
0:17:33.450,0:17:40.140 \nwork health and you had three Dropbox<\/p>\n
0:17:37.470,0:17:42.870 \nfolders that were home health work and<\/p>\n
0:17:40.140,0:17:46.410 \nif you had three Evernote notebooks<\/p>\n
0:17:42.870,0:17:47.880 \ncalled home health work and then you had<\/p>\n
0:17:46.410,0:17:49.890 \nyour email and your email had three<\/p>\n
0:17:47.880,0:17:52.770 \nfolders home health work you see the<\/p>\n
0:17:49.890,0:17:56.430 \npoint that all of a sudden if you are<\/p>\n
0:17:52.770,0:17:58.800 \nlooking for something you now know there<\/p>\n
0:17:56.430,0:18:01.290 \nare only three buckets in which you need<\/p>\n
0:17:58.800,0:18:03.930 \nto really look for things in those very<\/p>\n
0:18:01.290,0:18:07.230 \nbroad categories and it also allows you<\/p>\n
0:18:03.930,0:18:09.240 \nto be able to file faster that is when<\/p>\n
0:18:07.230,0:18:10.740 \nsomething comes in if you need to deal<\/p>\n
0:18:09.240,0:18:12.390 \nwith it later you can anchor that in<\/p>\n
0:18:10.740,0:18:14.160 \nyour next action system or your task<\/p>\n
0:18:12.390,0:18:17.190 \nlist or whatever you might call it and<\/p>\n
0:18:14.160,0:18:20.400 \nand then immediately put it into home<\/p>\n
0:18:17.190,0:18:23.010 \nwork or health and you don’t worry about<\/p>\n
0:18:20.400,0:18:25.290 \nlosing it there’s a sense of trust that<\/p>\n
0:18:23.010,0:18:29.070 \nyou now have to the integrity of your<\/p>\n
0:18:25.290,0:18:31.320 \nsystem by being able to do so and I tell<\/p>\n
0:18:29.070,0:18:34.560 \nyou all of that to say that I am in a<\/p>\n
0:18:31.320,0:18:37.650 \nmassive rework of how I’m doing my own<\/p>\n
0:18:34.560,0:18:39.810 \nsystem in that way that is renaming<\/p>\n
0:18:37.650,0:18:41.940 \nthings and recreating things so that<\/p>\n
0:18:39.810,0:18:44.580 \nthere is a little stronger integrity of<\/p>\n
0:18:41.940,0:18:47.190 \nmy action systems related to my<\/p>\n
0:18:44.580,0:18:49.560 \nreference systems I use Evernote as a<\/p>\n
0:18:47.190,0:18:51.930 \nreference system primarily and so I<\/p>\n
0:18:49.560,0:18:54.990 \nreally need to make sure that every note<\/p>\n
0:18:51.930,0:18:58.170 \nmatches my my task management system my<\/p>\n
0:18:54.990,0:19:01.890 \ntask manager and I felt like that really<\/p>\n
0:18:58.170,0:19:03.360 \nwasn’t as well in tune and so that’s<\/p>\n
0:19:01.890,0:19:06.660 \nwhere I’m working on it right now today<\/p>\n
0:19:03.360,0:19:09.060 \nand I hope that by doing so I’ll be able<\/p>\n
0:19:06.660,0:19:11.790 \nto get my hands on things faster and<\/p>\n
0:19:09.060,0:19:14.220 \nI’ll also be able to get more things<\/p>\n
0:19:11.790,0:19:16.680 \ndone through the efficiencies that I’ll<\/p>\n
0:19:14.220,0:19:18.990 \nbe creating in making sure that my life<\/p>\n
0:19:16.680,0:19:21.000 \ncategories across the system are are<\/p>\n
0:19:18.990,0:19:23.490 \nintegrated well one thing I’ve been<\/p>\n
0:19:21.000,0:19:25.200 \nstruggling with recently it had a good<\/p>\n
0:19:23.490,0:19:28.410 \noutcome because it helped me to identify<\/p>\n
0:19:25.200,0:19:30.690 \nthat it was an area that I could<\/p>\n
0:19:28.410,0:19:33.150 \narticulate for my customers or my<\/p>\n
0:19:30.690,0:19:35.730 \nreaders that would make sense and what<\/p>\n
0:19:33.150,0:19:37.500 \nit is is I noticed that in my schedule<\/p>\n
0:19:35.730,0:19:39.330 \nthere was often times when I would as<\/p>\n
0:19:37.500,0:19:41.190 \nsomeone who more or less schedule<\/p>\n
0:19:39.330,0:19:43.890 \nschedule everything their attempts when<\/p>\n
0:19:41.190,0:19:47.310 \nI would depart from my schedule and not<\/p>\n
0:19:43.890,0:19:49.860 \naccount for it for a whole day or a<\/p>\n
0:19:47.310,0:19:52.500 \ncouple of days I just be way off my<\/p>\n
0:19:49.860,0:19:52.980 \ncalendar we’re operating outside of my<\/p>\n
0:19:52.500,0:19:55.650 \nplan<\/p>\n
0:19:52.980,0:19:57.330 \nwithout even referencing it now I have<\/p>\n
0:19:55.650,0:19:59.580 \nthe tools to be able to recover from it<\/p>\n
0:19:57.330,0:20:00.180 \nin the form of sceptile which is an auto<\/p>\n
0:19:59.580,0:20:04.180 \nsketch<\/p>\n
0:20:00.180,0:20:06.940 \nbut I wouldn’t have the discipline to go<\/p>\n
0:20:04.180,0:20:09.220 \nback into sceptile and run it again to<\/p>\n
0:20:06.940,0:20:11.350 \nreschedule my calendar whenever I<\/p>\n
0:20:09.220,0:20:14.620 \ndiscovered I was off calendar which is I<\/p>\n
0:20:11.350,0:20:18.790 \nwas away from my plan so I tried setting<\/p>\n
0:20:14.620,0:20:20.190 \nup a game to measure the times different<\/p>\n
0:20:18.790,0:20:23.250 \ntimes in the day when I would be on<\/p>\n
0:20:20.190,0:20:26.830 \ncalendar versus off it would actually<\/p>\n
0:20:23.250,0:20:28.630 \nprompt me to report whether I was on or<\/p>\n
0:20:26.830,0:20:32.290 \noff at that particular time was a random<\/p>\n
0:20:28.630,0:20:34.390 \na random multiplication that helped but<\/p>\n
0:20:32.290,0:20:36.190 \nas soon as the game finished I went back<\/p>\n
0:20:34.390,0:20:39.040 \ninto my old behaviors and that’s where I<\/p>\n
0:20:36.190,0:20:41.710 \nam right now so III don’t have a<\/p>\n
0:20:39.040,0:20:43.120 \nsolution it’s a sort of an invented<\/p>\n
0:20:41.710,0:20:45.130 \nproblem because I haven’t never seen<\/p>\n
0:20:43.120,0:20:48.820 \nanyone mentioned this particular issue<\/p>\n
0:20:45.130,0:20:51.190 \nin their daily setup but it’s one that<\/p>\n
0:20:48.820,0:20:53.950 \nI’m I want to fix but what came out of<\/p>\n
0:20:51.190,0:20:56.410 \nit is noticing that there’s a super<\/p>\n
0:20:53.950,0:20:59.290 \npower that people need to develop a<\/p>\n
0:20:56.410,0:21:02.710 \ncouple of them one is to detect when<\/p>\n
0:20:59.290,0:21:06.250 \ntheir system is about to break so this<\/p>\n
0:21:02.710,0:21:07.690 \nis this is beyond beyond just noticing<\/p>\n
0:21:06.250,0:21:10.180 \nthat you’re having a major problem that<\/p>\n
0:21:07.690,0:21:12.850 \nyou’re always late for example but it’s<\/p>\n
0:21:10.180,0:21:15.400 \nnoticing that there are some subtle<\/p>\n
0:21:12.850,0:21:18.690 \nsubtle signs that your time management<\/p>\n
0:21:15.400,0:21:21.880 \nsystem is a is about to go bust and<\/p>\n
0:21:18.690,0:21:23.500 \nnotice what there was those sort of<\/p>\n
0:21:21.880,0:21:26.310 \nsigns happen to be so that’s the first<\/p>\n
0:21:23.500,0:21:29.860 \npart the second part is taking those<\/p>\n
0:21:26.310,0:21:33.670 \nweak signals and then converting them<\/p>\n
0:21:29.860,0:21:35.500 \ninto in-depth diagnosis kind of a like a<\/p>\n
0:21:33.670,0:21:39.040 \ndoctor hosts will do you know from the<\/p>\n
0:21:35.500,0:21:40.960 \nTV show and then the third part is if<\/p>\n
0:21:39.040,0:21:42.460 \nyou’re able to do a good diagnosis<\/p>\n
0:21:40.960,0:21:45.460 \nfigure out what to implement and<\/p>\n
0:21:42.460,0:21:47.380 \nimplement it effectively so I recently<\/p>\n
0:21:45.460,0:21:50.830 \ncalled them superpowers you know in a<\/p>\n
0:21:47.380,0:21:55.060 \nposter I just did because they’re so so<\/p>\n
0:21:50.830,0:21:56.950 \nmuch a part of everyone’s life but I’ve<\/p>\n
0:21:55.060,0:21:59.200 \nnever heard them quite said that way<\/p>\n
0:21:56.950,0:22:03.100 \nthat we need to develop these kind of<\/p>\n
0:21:59.200,0:22:06.010 \nrare skills so that we stay far out of<\/p>\n
0:22:03.100,0:22:08.170 \ntrouble as opposed to figure out how to<\/p>\n
0:22:06.010,0:22:10.660 \ndig ourselves out of trouble it’s kind<\/p>\n
0:22:08.170,0:22:11.950 \nof like problem prevention in a way but<\/p>\n
0:22:10.660,0:22:13.790 \nthat came from the problem I’m having<\/p>\n
0:22:11.950,0:22:18.020 \nthe challenge I’m having right now<\/p>\n
0:22:13.790,0:22:21.080 \non schedule and that goes back to Q what<\/p>\n
0:22:18.020,0:22:24.110 \nI was saying to integrity now on if I<\/p>\n
0:22:21.080,0:22:26.420 \ntidy up this but very said honestly has<\/p>\n
0:22:24.110,0:22:30.110 \nbeen able to honestly it’s been able to<\/p>\n
0:22:26.420,0:22:32.390 \nadmit that you go in a certain way out<\/p>\n
0:22:30.110,0:22:35.960 \nof integrity would you stop flow in your<\/p>\n
0:22:32.390,0:22:38.240 \ncalendar and integrity is knowing that<\/p>\n
0:22:35.960,0:22:40.310 \nyou are not doing that and figured it<\/p>\n
0:22:38.240,0:22:44.000 \nout that okay I need to go back to do<\/p>\n
0:22:40.310,0:22:47.360 \nwhat I was doing but that’s that’s one<\/p>\n
0:22:44.000,0:22:50.810 \nsecond is it’s important to mention that<\/p>\n
0:22:47.360,0:22:54.230 \none of the difficult issues with<\/p>\n
0:22:50.810,0:22:59.390 \nintegrity and they call that the bar so<\/p>\n
0:22:54.230,0:23:01.520 \neverybody has amar and that said to you<\/p>\n
0:22:59.390,0:23:03.140 \nknow above this line and below this line<\/p>\n
0:23:01.520,0:23:06.020 \nyou are fine when you’re above the line<\/p>\n
0:23:03.140,0:23:10.250 \nyou’re not good with your below the line<\/p>\n
0:23:06.020,0:23:12.410 \nso if if you think on what you just said<\/p>\n
0:23:10.250,0:23:14.600 \nyou know your line is sleep on the<\/p>\n
0:23:12.410,0:23:18.590 \ncalendar to a certain extent when you<\/p>\n
0:23:14.600,0:23:21.500 \nare above that line then you’re fine you<\/p>\n
0:23:18.590,0:23:23.330 \nare living into what you are supposed to<\/p>\n
0:23:21.500,0:23:26.720 \ndo you are doing the things they are<\/p>\n
0:23:23.330,0:23:30.350 \nsupposed to do same here the problem is<\/p>\n
0:23:26.720,0:23:33.230 \nsometimes we don’t notice that we start<\/p>\n
0:23:30.350,0:23:35.750 \nlowering that bar instead of raising<\/p>\n
0:23:33.230,0:23:38.990 \nthat bar problem is if you start<\/p>\n
0:23:35.750,0:23:41.690 \nlowering the bar conscious or not a most<\/p>\n
0:23:38.990,0:23:44.030 \nof the time it’s not you start also<\/p>\n
0:23:41.690,0:23:46.010 \nlowering the bar on other areas when you<\/p>\n
0:23:44.030,0:23:49.340 \nsay you know what I have decided that<\/p>\n
0:23:46.010,0:23:52.240 \nthis work life is too stressful for me<\/p>\n
0:23:49.340,0:23:56.390 \nand I am NOT going to work hard anymore<\/p>\n
0:23:52.240,0:23:58.570 \nand I’m going to instead of try to you<\/p>\n
0:23:56.390,0:24:01.850 \nknow reach and girl I’m going to be<\/p>\n
0:23:58.570,0:24:04.040 \nwhatever is automatically lower in the<\/p>\n
0:24:01.850,0:24:06.440 \nbar you are saying I’m not going to push<\/p>\n

0:24:06.440,0:24:11.470 \nmay notice or not notice immediately<\/p>\n
0:24:08.690,0:24:14.690 \nwe’ve asked you start letting the bar<\/p>\n
0:24:11.470,0:24:17.840 \ngoing down you may think it’s only<\/p>\n
0:24:14.690,0:24:20.870 \nhappen on your calendar but it will<\/p>\n
0:24:17.840,0:24:23.300 \nstart happening and influence many other<\/p>\n

0:24:26.150,0:24:30.950 \ndown and<\/p>\n
0:24:27.470,0:24:34.730 \nand down there is an author and that it<\/p>\n
0:24:30.950,0:24:38.629 \nsays whatever is not growing is time and<\/p>\n
0:24:34.730,0:24:42.529 \nthe fact with this proverbial bar is<\/p>\n
0:24:38.629,0:24:46.429 \nexactly the same thing you can go and I<\/p>\n
0:24:42.529,0:24:48.740 \nwish to tell you after I don’t know how<\/p>\n
0:24:46.429,0:24:51.919 \nmany years reading and writing and<\/p>\n
0:24:48.740,0:24:55.159 \nteaching productivity that I finally<\/p>\n

0:24:55.159,0:24:59.000 \nbar is said and it will not need to be<\/p>\n
0:24:57.769,0:25:00.980 \nmove anymore<\/p>\n
0:24:59.000,0:25:05.690 \nbut what I have learned over the years<\/p>\n
0:25:00.980,0:25:09.500 \nin personal productivity is that the<\/p>\n
0:25:05.690,0:25:13.750 \nmore you raise the bar the more you need<\/p>\n
0:25:09.500,0:25:17.720 \nto raise the bar and it’s difficult<\/p>\n
0:25:13.750,0:25:20.539 \nevery time you need to raise that bar as<\/p>\n
0:25:17.720,0:25:22.070 \nI explained and you need to revamp your<\/p>\n
0:25:20.539,0:25:25.129 \nsystem and you need to rework your<\/p>\n
0:25:22.070,0:25:28.629 \nsystem it is difficult and it is a<\/p>\n
0:25:25.129,0:25:31.340 \nstruggle doesn’t matter how effective<\/p>\n
0:25:28.629,0:25:34.549 \nefficient and how much integrity your<\/p>\n
0:25:31.340,0:25:39.519 \ncurrent system has there is a moment<\/p>\n
0:25:34.549,0:25:43.070 \nwhen that will not be enough anymore<\/p>\n
0:25:39.519,0:25:45.559 \nwell now you want to move to the next<\/p>\n
0:25:43.070,0:25:49.250 \nplace and in order to move to the next<\/p>\n
0:25:45.559,0:25:52.009 \nplace that assumption of integrity and<\/p>\n
0:25:49.250,0:25:56.600 \nthat proverbial bar need to be raised<\/p>\n
0:25:52.009,0:25:59.299 \nagain and if you choose not to and<\/p>\n
0:25:56.600,0:26:01.669 \nthat’s always a choice what’s going to<\/p>\n
0:25:59.299,0:26:04.549 \nhappen is that bar is going to start<\/p>\n
0:26:01.669,0:26:08.600 \ncoming down until you hit rock bottom<\/p>\n
0:26:04.549,0:26:10.820 \nand Rock button can be the last time you<\/p>\n
0:26:08.600,0:26:13.279 \nsaid or the private level you set the<\/p>\n
0:26:10.820,0:26:15.679 \nbar or maybe three or four levels below<\/p>\n
0:26:13.279,0:26:17.840 \nthat I don’t know it will depend from<\/p>\n
0:26:15.679,0:26:21.230 \npeople to people but what I can assure<\/p>\n
0:26:17.840,0:26:24.350 \nyou is if you start letting the bar<\/p>\n
0:26:21.230,0:26:26.629 \ngoing down the bar is not going down on<\/p>\n
0:26:24.350,0:26:28.730 \none area it’s not like oh well you know<\/p>\n
0:26:26.629,0:26:33.049 \nI don’t follow the calendar anymore um I<\/p>\n
0:26:28.730,0:26:35.840 \nwork three will well I promise you that<\/p>\n
0:26:33.049,0:26:38.539 \nyour life is going to start being<\/p>\n
0:26:35.840,0:26:40.770 \ninfluenced by those things it may be the<\/p>\n
0:26:38.539,0:26:43.320 \ncalendar and sooner now<\/p>\n
0:26:40.770,0:26:45.840 \nareas of your life are also going to be<\/p>\n
0:26:43.320,0:26:50.610 \nsuffering from that lack of integrity<\/p>\n
0:26:45.840,0:26:55.350 \nbecause the fact is that you are a one<\/p>\n
0:26:50.610,0:26:58.560 \nperson or one self and or you are or you<\/p>\n
0:26:55.350,0:27:01.320 \nplay with integrity or you do not play<\/p>\n
0:26:58.560,0:27:04.650 \nwith integrity you may have different<\/p>\n
0:27:01.320,0:27:08.190 \nlevels of integrity from different areas<\/p>\n
0:27:04.650,0:27:12.720 \nof your life but you play with integrity<\/p>\n
0:27:08.190,0:27:14.940 \nor you do not play with integrity just<\/p>\n
0:27:12.720,0:27:18.570 \nin in summary I think it’s really<\/p>\n
0:27:14.940,0:27:22.230 \nimportant for people to not lose heart<\/p>\n
0:27:18.570,0:27:24.330 \nwhen you realize that your system may<\/p>\n

0:27:45.750,0:27:50.130 \nsituation is not necessarily gonna bring<\/p>\n
0:27:47.580,0:27:52.560 \nyou a lot of positive movement it’s not<\/p>\n
0:27:50.130,0:27:54.060 \ngoing to motivate you typically and I<\/p>\n
0:27:52.560,0:27:57.360 \nand I tend to think that fear-based<\/p>\n
0:27:54.060,0:27:59.520 \nmotivations are attend not to allow for<\/p>\n
0:27:57.360,0:28:02.460 \nlasting growth sort of I’m a positive<\/p>\n
0:27:59.520,0:28:03.780 \nbehaviorist in that sense so punishment<\/p>\n
0:28:02.460,0:28:06.600 \nI don’t believe are though the ways<\/p>\n
0:28:03.780,0:28:09.390 \nforward to a greater integrity with your<\/p>\n
0:28:06.600,0:28:11.820 \npersonal productivity system so I highly<\/p>\n
0:28:09.390,0:28:14.430 \nencourage people to think positively<\/p>\n
0:28:11.820,0:28:17.850 \nabout it even when you first start out<\/p>\n
0:28:14.430,0:28:20.430 \nwith a negative a negative sense of the<\/p>\n
0:28:17.850,0:28:21.840 \nsystem that is your your having negative<\/p>\n
0:28:20.430,0:28:24.750 \nconsequences you’re not getting things<\/p>\n
0:28:21.840,0:28:26.480 \ndone and you need to or want to well<\/p>\n
0:28:24.750,0:28:29.640 \nthat’s great now you can at least<\/p>\n
0:28:26.480,0:28:31.710 \nrecognize that but now look at it from<\/p>\n
0:28:29.640,0:28:34.260 \nas I said before a positive and<\/p>\n
0:28:31.710,0:28:36.570 \nconstructive perspective lean into the<\/p>\n
0:28:34.260,0:28:38.430 \npositive and constructive and I think<\/p>\n
0:28:36.570,0:28:41.610 \nthat you can then start to clean up the<\/p>\n
0:28:38.430,0:28:44.610 \nsystem and look for gaps typically where<\/p>\n
0:28:41.610,0:28:47.730 \nI see lack of integrity with clients is<\/p>\n
0:28:44.610,0:28:50.760 \nthem missing parts of their world that<\/p>\n
0:28:47.730,0:28:52.999 \nneed a system so that they look at say<\/p>\n
0:28:50.760,0:28:55.759 \nthey have a bunch of magazines that they<\/p>\n
0:28:52.999,0:28:57.469 \nto read digital or paper and so they<\/p>\n
0:28:55.759,0:28:59.359 \neither see the pile or they have a list<\/p>\n
0:28:57.469,0:29:02.059 \nof magazines that they want to read or<\/p>\n
0:28:59.359,0:29:04.669 \nlist of books or list of articles where<\/p>\n
0:29:02.059,0:29:08.089 \nthey have read it later applications<\/p>\n
0:29:04.669,0:29:10.069 \nlike pocket or Instapaper or like for me<\/p>\n
0:29:08.089,0:29:14.299 \nI have that in Evernote and it’s just a<\/p>\n
0:29:10.069,0:29:16.189 \nyou know a big pile of stuff right<\/p>\n
0:29:14.299,0:29:19.129 \nthings that want they need to meet or<\/p>\n
0:29:16.189,0:29:20.959 \nwant to do and it hasn’t been done and<\/p>\n
0:29:19.129,0:29:23.089 \nthat gives them that sense of overwhelm<\/p>\n
0:29:20.959,0:29:24.529 \nand then feeling a lack of integrity to<\/p>\n
0:29:23.089,0:29:25.999 \ntheir system they’re not maintaining<\/p>\n
0:29:24.529,0:29:28.759 \ntheir system in a way in which they said<\/p>\n
0:29:25.999,0:29:31.279 \nthey would well that’s fine just don’t<\/p>\n
0:29:28.759,0:29:33.469 \ndon’t harp on the on the fact that you<\/p>\n
0:29:31.279,0:29:35.509 \nknow you’re not doing it really focus<\/p>\n
0:29:33.469,0:29:37.759 \nthat energy more productively and<\/p>\n
0:29:35.509,0:29:39.679 \nconstructively on doing something about<\/p>\n
0:29:37.759,0:29:43.099 \nit which is are you gonna declare<\/p>\n
0:29:39.679,0:29:45.289 \nbankruptcy on your the pile that exists<\/p>\n
0:29:43.099,0:29:47.569 \nalready or are you gonna process are you<\/p>\n
0:29:45.289,0:29:50.089 \ngonna take today’s yesterday’s and the<\/p>\n
0:29:47.569,0:29:53.269 \noldest statement days materials and read<\/p>\n
0:29:50.089,0:29:55.489 \nthose and then tomorrow do today’s<\/p>\n
0:29:53.269,0:29:57.709 \nanything you didn’t catch yesterday and<\/p>\n
0:29:55.489,0:29:59.989 \nthe oldest days material and you’ll be<\/p>\n
0:29:57.709,0:30:02.779 \nsurprised over time how quickly you can<\/p>\n
0:29:59.989,0:30:05.509 \nregain integrity through maintenance<\/p>\n
0:30:02.779,0:30:07.819 \nthen you can through all the negative<\/p>\n
0:30:05.509,0:30:10.129 \nthinking in the world okay so I really<\/p>\n
0:30:07.819,0:30:11.209 \nhope that people can create greater<\/p>\n
0:30:10.129,0:30:13.339 \nintegrity and their personal<\/p>\n
0:30:11.209,0:30:17.029 \nproductivity systems through positive<\/p>\n
0:30:13.339,0:30:18.709 \nconstructive thinking using a it’s<\/p>\n
0:30:17.029,0:30:23.149 \nbetter to improve your integrity when<\/p>\n
0:30:18.709,0:30:25.189 \nyou are in a positive space because you<\/p>\n
0:30:23.149,0:30:26.959 \nmust improve it it’s it’s just it’s only<\/p>\n
0:30:25.189,0:30:29.359 \na question of are you gonna do it when<\/p>\n
0:30:26.959,0:30:33.799 \nyou’re miserable or are you gonna do it<\/p>\n
0:30:29.359,0:30:36.709 \nwhen you’re empowered you must do it<\/p>\n
0:30:33.799,0:30:40.779 \nit’s much easier to do if you’re in the<\/p>\n
0:30:36.709,0:30:43.249 \nlatter if you’re present and you’re<\/p>\n
0:30:40.779,0:30:44.269 \nconfident or you have some momentum<\/p>\n
0:30:43.249,0:30:46.549 \nbehind you<\/p>\n
0:30:44.269,0:30:49.879 \nyou know inevitably that’s not what we<\/p>\n
0:30:46.549,0:30:52.069 \ndo but that is the best time to start to<\/p>\n
0:30:49.879,0:30:54.319 \ndeal with yourself and deal with all of<\/p>\n
0:30:52.069,0:30:56.029 \nyour different areas of your life at one<\/p>\n
0:30:54.319,0:30:58.819 \npoint I remember finished completing a<\/p>\n
0:30:56.029,0:31:00.499 \n100 point checklist for integrity and it<\/p>\n
0:30:58.819,0:31:02.119 \nwas very very very useful it’s not a<\/p>\n
0:31:00.499,0:31:04.099 \nreally good time in my life also so<\/p>\n
0:31:02.119,0:31:06.090 \nthat’s that out on the line which you<\/p>\n
0:31:04.099,0:31:10.170 \njust said and what Augusto said<\/p>\n
0:31:06.090,0:31:12.930 \nI think we are in a weird agreement that<\/p>\n
0:31:10.170,0:31:15.090 \nand I love that you can do it when you<\/p>\n
0:31:12.930,0:31:18.330 \nare empowered when you can wait until<\/p>\n
0:31:15.090,0:31:18.990 \nyou are defeated but you are going to do<\/p>\n
0:31:18.330,0:31:20.730 \nit anyway<\/p>\n
0:31:18.990,0:31:23.390 \nor most people will need to do it<\/p>\n
0:31:20.730,0:31:26.520 \nanyways going back to the beginning of<\/p>\n
0:31:23.390,0:31:29.700 \nof our cast not only you are going to<\/p>\n
0:31:26.520,0:31:33.210 \nneed to do it it’s a five you can choose<\/p>\n
0:31:29.700,0:31:36.120 \nnot to do it and that is a five I mean I<\/p>\n
0:31:33.210,0:31:38.040 \nhave suddently most of the people who<\/p>\n
0:31:36.120,0:31:40.860 \nwill choose not to do it or not<\/p>\n
0:31:38.040,0:31:43.140 \nlistening to this if you are probably<\/p>\n
0:31:40.860,0:31:45.990 \nlistening to this is because you think<\/p>\n
0:31:43.140,0:31:48.210 \nor you are doing something about it or<\/p>\n
0:31:45.990,0:31:51.000 \nyou need to do something about it or you<\/p>\n
0:31:48.210,0:31:54.060 \nhave done it already in the past and the<\/p>\n
0:31:51.000,0:31:56.130 \nsecond and last thing I want to say is<\/p>\n
0:31:54.060,0:32:01.980 \nthat it’s important and write mention<\/p>\n
0:31:56.130,0:32:05.520 \nthis whatever time it took you to get to<\/p>\n
0:32:01.980,0:32:08.280 \nthe place you are it’s going to take you<\/p>\n
0:32:05.520,0:32:12.420 \ndouble to get to the place you want to<\/p>\n
0:32:08.280,0:32:16.890 \ngo that is really really important to<\/p>\n
0:32:12.420,0:32:19.950 \nremember because people lost those<\/p>\n
0:32:16.890,0:32:21.870 \ntracks you know if I’ve Frances put up<\/p>\n
0:32:19.950,0:32:24.990 \nan example where I go a couple of days<\/p>\n
0:32:21.870,0:32:28.800 \nand I love struggle my column hey I have<\/p>\n
0:32:24.990,0:32:30.960 \ndone that okay or I get a fire you know<\/p>\n
0:32:28.800,0:32:33.270 \na week that I just fighting fire – fire<\/p>\n
0:32:30.960,0:32:35.880 \n– fire – fire – fire and come Thursday<\/p>\n
0:32:33.270,0:32:39.780 \nand I have not even opened my system<\/p>\n
0:32:35.880,0:32:43.530 \nthose happen but remember that when you<\/p>\n
0:32:39.780,0:32:46.230 \nget to that point in order to get back<\/p>\n
0:32:43.530,0:32:48.900 \nto where you want is going to take you<\/p>\n
0:32:46.230,0:32:51.390 \ndouble of the time in other words it<\/p>\n
0:32:48.900,0:32:53.610 \ntook us four days to get to that level<\/p>\n
0:32:51.390,0:32:55.950 \nof couch is not going to take you four<\/p>\n
0:32:53.610,0:32:57.690 \nhours to get out of there it’s probably<\/p>\n
0:32:55.950,0:33:00.990 \ngoing to take a good eight because you<\/p>\n
0:32:57.690,0:33:03.900 \nwill not be able to stop everything in<\/p>\n
0:33:00.990,0:33:06.110 \norder to get out of it one of the most<\/p>\n
0:33:03.900,0:33:09.420 \nfoolish things we tend to think<\/p>\n
0:33:06.110,0:33:12.390 \nConfessional productivity is tomorrow I<\/p>\n
0:33:09.420,0:33:14.970 \nwill have more time now tomorrow you<\/p>\n
0:33:12.390,0:33:16.470 \nwill have less time that’s a fact<\/p>\n
0:33:14.970,0:33:18.300 \nbecause you are going to need to do<\/p>\n
0:33:16.470,0:33:20.010 \neverything that you are green today but<\/p>\n
0:33:18.300,0:33:22.320 \nevery plus<\/p>\n
0:33:20.010,0:33:26.070 \neverything that is just showing up so<\/p>\n
0:33:22.320,0:33:28.860 \nremember when you get to that point in<\/p>\n
0:33:26.070,0:33:32.100 \norder to get out it’s going to take you<\/p>\n
0:33:28.860,0:33:35.390 \ndouble of the time you get there and the<\/p>\n
0:33:32.100,0:33:38.280 \nreason I said that I mean force that is<\/p>\n
0:33:35.390,0:33:41.100 \nbecause it’s important to remember said<\/p>\n
