In this session, we explore how to reduce your cognitive load, enhance creativity, and get more (and better) stuff done! Emphasizing the importance of pre-making decisions, I suggest strategies to streamline daily tasks, such as planning your day the night before and creating lists to prioritize your actions. We have to stop wasting energy on small decisions throughout the day and instead use strategies like batching, delegating, automating, and simplifying to reduce cognitive load. I provide practical examples, from planning meals to automating bill payments, to illustrate how simplifying routine decisions can lead to increased productivity and the ability to tackle more significant challenges.

From bankruptcy to a million-dollar payday in just over a month! This and many other great stories are just inside today's podcast with my guest Erik Weir. I met Erik aboard his private jet on the way to the wedding of a mutual friend. On that trip I had his undivided attention and got to ask all kinds of questions. I felt like I got a mini-MBA on that 4-hour plane ride, and it was just the beginning. Since then, Erik has helped me with several significant negotiations and has challenged my thinking in some really powerful ways. On today's show, we talk about goals, finding resources (capital and otherwise), overcoming failure, getting past rejection, and so much more.

"I'm going to own the first supply depot on the moon." Now, if anybody else said that to me, I'd think they were perhaps delusional. But when today's podcast guest says this, I think I actually believe him! Adam Anderson is the founder and/or primary investor in nearly 30 startups. Adam's wife says he "does big things with cool people" and after you've listened to today's show, we think you'll agree. Adam thinks bigger than just about anybody I know. From staging an MMA fight in space to hanging out with Richard Branson on Necker Island to serving as "the former advisor to the former prime minister of Bhutan" (there's a story behind that!), Adam does indeed do big things with cool people. He's also very funny. :) Join the conversation here, or for the full experience, watch the video at https://youtu.be/drldjY6AQ1U
