Show Notes: Episode Overview: In this episode, we explore the concept of friction and how we can use it to our advantage. By adding friction to bad habits and reducing friction for good habits, we can set ourselves up for success without depending solely on willpower. We take a look at expert insights from Wendy Wood, James Clear, and Oswald Nuckols, providing practical steps to make small tweaks that lead to big results. 5 Key Lessons: 1. The Power of Environment: - Wendy Wood highlights that a significant portion of our daily actions are on autopilot. By tweaking our environment, we can make substantial changes to our habits. 2. Three Ways to Break a Habit: - James Clear identifies three strategies: elimination, reduction, and substitution. These approaches help in either cutting out, minimizing, or replacing bad habits with better ones. 3. Four Laws of Behavior Change: - To build good habits, make them obvious, attractive, easy, and satisfying. Conversely, to break bad habits, make them invisible, unattractive, difficult, and unsatisfying. 4. Resetting the Room: - Inspired by Oswald Nuckols, this strategy involves setting up your space for success by organizing and preparing for the next task in advance. 5. Strategic Friction for Productivity: - Small changes like leaving your phone in another room, setting up your workspace the night before, and limiting your productivity tools can significantly boost focus and efficiency. 📚 Resources How To Make Your Future Habits Easy | James Clear ARTICLE: https://jamesclear.com/reset-the-room Use Friction To Make Or Break Habits by Yvonne Milosevic ARTICLE: https://theblacklight.co/2020/01/16/use-friction-make-break-habits/ How To Break Bad Habits YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kA3tSmr6_Ug ➡️ Subscribe to my newsletter for updates on our new planning system for creators: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://subscribe.pauldittus.com⁠⁠⁠⁠ 📚 Get My List of Top 12 Books of The Year: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://pauldittus.ck.page/booklist⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ✅ Follow The Beautiful Mess Subscribe on YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCz28aStbk-5Apxqyj_WWYqw⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://instagram.com/tbmshow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Twitter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/StartMessy⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://facebook.com/TheBeautifulMessShow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠➡️ You can also follow me here: YouTube:  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://youtube.com/pauldittus⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ IG:  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/pauldittus/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Twitter:  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/pauldittus⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Website:  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://pauldittus.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ This is episode 89 of The Beautiful Mess Show podcast.

Today, we're diving into the concept of Minimum Viable Information (MVI). This idea, from Corey Wilks Psy.D., is a game-changer for anyone who tends to overanalyze and over-research before taking action. ➡️ Subscribe to my newsletter for updates on our new planning system for creators: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://subscribe.pauldittus.com⁠⁠⁠⁠🚀 Key Takeaways: - Learn what minimum viable information is and how it can help you get started on your projects quickly. - Discover the importance of taking action and learning through doing, rather than just gathering more information. - Practical examples on how to apply this concept in various fields: starting a YouTube channel, becoming a musician, getting into fitness, and more. - Inspirational insights on overcoming fear, uncertainty, and the plethora of options that might be holding you back. 💪 Don't let fear or overthinking paralyze you! Ask yourself what the minimum information you need is, and then just start. You'll learn so much more by actually doing the thing. 5 Key Lessons: 1. Start Small: Identify the minimum amount of information needed to get started on a project and take that first step. 2. Focus on Value: Prioritize creating valuable content over having the perfect setup. 3. Embrace Mistakes: Learn from doing and making mistakes rather than over-researching. 4. Vision Beyond Barriers: Envision your ideal scenario if common barriers like time, money, and fear were not an issue. 5. Consistent Effort: Approach your goals like a mountain hike – the effort and persistence make the success more rewarding. 🔍 Episode Breakdown: 0:00 What is Minimum Viable Information 2:36 - The Paradox of Too Many Options 3:01 - Overcoming Fear and Envisioning Success 7:23 - Imposter Syndrome and the Reserve Clause 9:15 - The Mountain Analogy: Putting in the Work 🎸 Whether you're looking to start a creative project, get into better shape, or pursue a new hobby, this episode has something for everyone. 👍 Rate, review, and subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts.

Are your files all over the place? Do you want a simple method to organize your files? We'll dive into Tiago Forte's simple PARA Method. Do you struggle with naming your files? In this video, I will give you a guide to naming your files so you don’t have to worry about it. In episode 087 of the TBM Show, Paul Dittus delves into the art of file naming and organization, transforming your digital clutter into a streamlined, efficient system. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by files scattered across your desktop or buried in your downloads folder, this episode is your roadmap to a more organized digital life. Paul offers actionable tips and tested methods for structuring both your files and folders, utilizing best practices for naming conventions and modifying structures to suit your specific needs. Tune in to learn how a little organization can make a world of difference in your daily productivity. Episode Overview: - Introduction to the importance of file organization - Best practices for naming files and using dates versus keywords - Guidelines for structuring folders from general to specific - How to use modifiers and special characters to maintain order - Exploring Tiago Forte's PARA method for organizing tasks and files - Practical examples and templates for business, YouTube, and podcast file management 5 Key Lessons: 1. Effective File Naming Conventions: Learn the importance of using the international standard date format (year-month-date) and clear, concise keywords to ensure your files are easy to identify and search. 2. Folder Structure Best Practices: Organize your folders in a hierarchy from general to specific. Start with broad categories like the year or project name, and narrow down as needed (e.g., raw photos, exports). 3. Using Modifiers Wisely: Incorporate modifiers like version numbers (e.g., V01), intended audience names, or creator initials to differentiate files while maintaining their order. 4. Avoiding Special Characters: Stick to underscores, dashes, or hyphens to avoid compatibility issues across different operating systems and to make future migrations smoother. 5. Utilizing the PARA Method: Adopt Tiago Forte’s PARA method (Projects, Areas, Resources, Archive) to keep your files and tasks organized from most actionable to least actionable. Customize this framework to best fit your needs. ➡️ Resources Mentioned In YouTube Description: https://youtu.be/s8-wJ1RxWmY ➡️ Subscribe to my newsletter for updates on our new planning system for creators: ⁠⁠⁠https://subscribe.pauldittus.com⁠⁠ 📚 Get My List of Top 12 Books of The Year: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://pauldittus.ck.page/booklist⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ✅ Follow The Beautiful Mess Subscribe on YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCz28aStbk-5Apxqyj_WWYqw⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://instagram.com/tbmshow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Twitter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/StartMessy⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://facebook.com/TheBeautifulMessShow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ➡️ You can also follow me here: YouTube:  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://youtube.com/pauldittus⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ IG:  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/pauldittus/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Twitter:  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/pauldittus⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Website:  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://pauldittus.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ This is episode 87 of The Beautiful Mess Show podcast.

Discover the 5 Laws of Stratospheric Success from "The Go-Giver" by Bob Berg and John David Mann! 🌟 I highly recommend this book. In this episode, I'll share some of the key insights and what I learned from my own life. The 5 Laws of Stratospheric Success 1. The Law of Value — Your true worth is determined by how much more you give in value than you take in payment. 2. The Law of Compensation — Your income is determined by how many people you serve and how well you serve them. 3. The Law of Influence — Your influence is determined by how abundantly you place other people’s interests first. 4. The Law of Authenticity — The most valuable gift you have to offer is yourself. 5. The Law of Receptivity — The key to effective giving is to stay open to receiving. 3 Universal Reasons For Working “They are the three universal reasons for working. Survive — to meet your basic living needs. Save — to go beyond your basic needs and expand your life. And serve — to make a contribution to the world around you.” ➡️ Resources Mentioned: - The Go-Giver: A Little Story About A Powerful Business Idea by Bob Burg and John David Mann - Elon Musk by Walter Isaacson - Navalmanack by Eric Jorgenson - VIDEO: The Gap By Ira Glass: https://vimeo.com/85040589 - Hoopla App - Libby App Join our community and share your thoughts in the comments below!

SPONSOR: Free 1 Page Planning System with the Finisher Secrets Newsletter: https://finishersecrets.com/tbmshow Welcome to the TBM Show! In this episode, I am going to share a game-changing technique that will help you plan and prioritize your week in just 5 minutes or less. It's called the ABC method, and it's what successful entrepreneurs and coaches use to maximize their productivity. But before we dive into the ABC method, I want to talk about the importance of doing a time audit. By tracking how you spend your time, you can identify where your energy is being wasted and where you can make improvements. Trust me, this simple exercise can provide immense clarity and help you eliminate unnecessary tasks. Once you've completed your time audit for a couple of weeks, it's time to move on to the ABC method. Think of your tasks as A, B, or C. A tasks are the most important ones that align with your goals. Neglecting these tasks can have significant consequences. B tasks are secondary but still important, while C tasks can be done if you have extra time and energy. To implement the ABC method effectively, I recommend making a list of your tasks and assigning priorities using the ABC categories. Next, try time blocking. This productivity hack involves scheduling specific tasks in dedicated time slots on your calendar. By incorporating time blocks into your schedule, you ensure that nothing falls through the cracks. Remember, by understanding the big picture and allocating time efficiently, you can accomplish more and make the most out of your week. So give the ABC method a try and watch your productivity soar. Let's get started on planning our weeks like pros! Let me introduce this episode's sponsor, Finisher Secrets. They offer a weekly newsletter that provides actionable tips to boost your productivity and focus on the right tasks. Visit https://finishersecrets.com/tbmshow to sign up and receive weekly tips.

In this video, we dive into one of my favorite productivity planning apps called Sunsama. I've been following this app for a while now, and let me tell you, I'm a superfan! If you're interested in trying out Sunsama, make sure to use my affiliate link. By using my link, you'll get a free 30-day trial, which is longer than the typical 14-day trial period. This gives you plenty of time to fully test out Sunsama and see if it's the right fit for you. ✅ Free 30-day free trial of Sunsama App (affiliate link): https://try.sunsama.com/paul In this video, I'll give you a comprehensive overview of Sunsama and what makes it stand out from other productivity apps. The underlying principles of Sunsama help you focus on the most important tasks instead of cramming more into your day. It's a monofocus-centered app that is incredibly well designed and seamlessly integrates with other productivity project management tools like Asana and ClickUp. One of the things I love most about Sunsama is how peaceful and intuitive the user experience is. Plus, the Sunsama team constantly releases updates to improve the app's functionality and user experience. We’ll also dive into some of the exciting new features that Sunsama has recently introduced. We have the Focus Bar, which allows you to stay on track and maintain your focus. There's also a built-in Pomodoro Timer, which is super handy for boosting productivity. And for those of you who need to take notes during meetings, Sunsama offers Simplified Meeting Notes with markdown support. But that's not all! Sunsama also has features like Auto Reschedule Tasks and Auto Add Calendar Events, which make managing your schedule a breeze. Now, I won't lie, Sunsama is not the cheapest option out there.
