#75hard and production increases... Coincidence?

75 hard and massive production increases.

Is this a coincidence, I am seven days into 75 hard.

And what I noticed this week in the tracking of my production is that for the first week in a long time, like I'm thinking maybe two or three months, I have completed 20 out of 21 items that I set for myself during this week.

Now, there was one miss, and I regretfully didn't take that one out, I would have loved to have taken that out got 21 got Blackjack, but alas, but my traditional scores over the last couple of months have been the occasional 15 or 16, generally running between 10 to 12.

And yet, I start 75 hard a week ago, and suddenly my production goes way up.

This does not seem to make sense, on a purely time basis.

Suddenly, by taking on 7500, instead of doing 15 minutes or so of exercise training.

I've ramped it up to an hour and a half and yet more got done.

I don't know what's going on here.

It's kind of curious.

But what I think is going on is that it forced me to schedule 45 minutes in the evening that traditionally, I would have thought to myself, Oh yeah, that'll be available to catch up for today.

Now, without that available, it actually drove production to get done in time, in order to have space for that.

That's a very peculiar phenomenon.

The second phenomenon that could be happening is that just by training harder, there's more energy, there's more life, there's more drive, there's more enthusiasm, there's more ability to smash through obstacles, to change my very mindset about what's possible.

And previously where I would have chosen to say, You know what, that's too hard.

That's too difficult.

I'm too tired.

I can't do this, that with the first week of 75, hard under my belt.

I'm actually saying you know what, I can do this shit.

If I can do 245-minute exercise training sessions today, as well as down or die, keep off alcohol, and read 10 pages, then actually doing the work required is okay.

I had a very difficult conversation confronting conversation not so much difficult confronting one of my brothers in my small group called trifecta, He was like, How much work do you actually do each day? And when I thought about us, like, Look, man, maybe two or three hours, and he's like, You know what, Me too? Me too.

Am I seriously? He's like, Yeah, I am.

Phone call coming in.

When we get rid of that.

Two or three hours, and yet somehow increasing my level of activity more is getting done.

We'll see whether this trend continues.

Next week, I will know whether with another week or 75, hard whether the production continues.

Next week, will it be a return to the 12? Or will it be a 1920 or preferably a 21? There is an interesting evolution that's going on in how I think that for having been in Wake Up Warrior for four years, I've heard them speak of terms such as commitment, dedication, actually getting stuff done.

But it's only recently that I'm beginning to see what that really means that when I make a commitment, it gets done.

And there is a power in this that what is opening up is that there's a depth of who I was where a commitment was optional, which is pretty funny.

A commitment is optional.

Like surely that's the very definition of commitment is that it is not optional, it will be but somehow there is this growth happening.

And I am beginning to believe that things can get done.

I'm loving my software development stuff is super fun.

Like, I'm way on the train like a total Zen beginner mind.

I'm just working out I'm working out how stuff works.

I'm like, oh look, if you do it this way if you do it that way.

I'm learning very systematic ways of approaching changes that have to be made.

Am I alright, let's get this right.

Get this block absolutely spot on that the colors are right, the names are right, the little arrows in Figma.

If you're not familiar with Figma, you basically get to drag a button and tell it where to go.

That all of that is set up correctly.

Then copy the whole thing and then go to the next one.

Delete everything Paste, Delete everything in Paste, Delete everything and paste.

Now there may well be a better way to do this.

But what I'm learning is that when the first bit is set up correctly, then the work does become a whole lot easier.

This essentially is doing the work once and then copying and pasting a bunch of times.

This is exciting.

It's cool.

It is a stretch from who I have been up until this point.

Look, I've been in a computer sport a long time.

What am I 44 Now, I think I managed to convince my father to get an Amstrad 3086, something like that it had a gigantic 30-gigabyte hard drive?

It was literally an XT processor was 640 K RAM, and a 12 inch VGA CRT monitor.

Now, many of you watching will have no idea what that was.

But a long time ago, there were computers that were not very powerful.

By a million miles, the phone that you are watching this on, or the computer that you are using to watch this are infinitely not infinitely, but so vastly more powerful than it is incredible.

But you might wonder what else up to? Well, I used to, I used to love playing car online games, these adventure games.

So my love affair with computers has been a long time and what is possible now with things like Figma or Adobe XD, is simply mind-blowing to make it possible for someone like me who's not had any programming training to actually go ahead and create high definition prototypes to then hand off to developers.

This is the coolest experience of all time.

Alright, that's all I got for you today.

I got a fair bit of work to do yet to come and a second 45-minute training session General's tent for the day.

I want to practice my harmonium and I've also potentially either got to mow the grass or find someone to mow the grass.

Hopefully, my wife will be interested in doing that.

We'll see.

Look forward to seeing you in tomorrow's episodes continuous journey into the power of systems that creates results.

I'll see you then.
