00:00:00
the two-minute rule the 2-minute rule
00:00:02

highlight setting a daily High highlight
00:00:30
means choosing one main task for each
00:00:32
day that you prioritize and commit to
00:00:34
completing no matter what ask yourself
00:00:37
what is the one thing I want to
00:00:38
accomplish today and what will make this
00:00:40
day feel successful or fulfilling if
00:00:43
it's not a hell yes then it's a hell no
00:00:47
this rule says that if you are not
00:00:49
really excited about something then you
00:00:50
shouldn't do it for example if somebody
00:00:53
invites you somewhere or suggests
00:00:55
something and your first reaction is not
00:00:56
a hell yes then it's a hell no you
00:00:59
should shouldn't do it ask who not how
00:01:03
when we have a task or a new idea we
00:01:05
automatically ask ourselves how can I do
00:01:07
it and then start working on it this is
00:01:10
wrong instead ask yourself who can do
00:01:13
this for me asking who instead of how
00:01:16
saves time Taps into other people's
00:01:18
expertise and lets you focus on what
00:01:20
you're best at procrastination is wisdom
00:01:24
pay attention to the tasks or goals you
00:01:26
procrastinate the most procrastination
00:01:28
is wisdom it's an internal signal
00:01:31
telling you that you need help it's a
00:01:33
signal telling you that you should
00:01:34
delegate the task ask yourself who can
00:01:37
do this for me the 9091 rule for the
00:01:41
next 90 days spend the first 90 minutes
00:01:44
of your day on one task that will help
00:01:46
you achieve your goals this rule forces
00:01:49
you to be consistent and focused on your
00:01:52
most important goal during your Peak

productive hours the 12-week year rule
00:01:57
according to 12we year Rule people waste
00:02:00
so much time by setting annual goals
00:02:02
instead it suggests aiming to achieve
00:02:04
your 12-month goals in 12 weeks this
00:02:07
creates urgency and improves execution
00:02:10
even if you fail in the first 12 weeks
00:02:12
you still have three more attempts by

to 90% is very difficult from 90% to
00:02:37
100% is extremely hard so what does that
00:02:40
mean for you it means you should get

feedback at 80% instead of trying to
00:02:44
make it perfect before you send it for
