Qué hace la gente exitosa ante del desayuno

0:08 Hello everyone and welcome to ideas for a better life. I am Eugenio Palla, ruiz, reader, hard- working and lover of personal development. Today, in this episode we are going to talk about the book what successful people do before breakfast written by Laura Benderham, But first as always, remind you that you have at your disposal a compilation of the best ideas, of the best tips on personal development. In my four own books, you already know them free, healthy and happy, thirty- one days to improve your life, minimalism for normal people and seven steps for a purposeful life. You already know that you have them available on Amazon and that I leave you their link in the notes of the episode. And now we' re going to talk about what successful people do before breakfast. We all want to have more time to do what really matters to us. For some it will involve exercising.

1:23 For others it may involve reading or it may be spending a few hours on a project with purpose. But it' s very easy to allow obligations, daily tasks to distract us and when we' re finally done answering emails, doing household chores, etc, all we' re going to want to do is throw ourselves in front of the TV. Therefore, to avoid this, the book tells us that morning is the ideal time to pursue our goals. Which at dawn the world is calm. It' s the perfect time for almost everything. He tells us about the case of James Citring, who is the director of a heat hunting agency and this gentleman interviewed a group of senior executives about his morning routines and out of every twenty eighteen had something in common.

2:19 They got up before six in the morning. But a good morning routine is to devote time to tasks that are not going to give us an immediate reward, but that in the long run can have an impact on our lives. That is, instead of taking care of everyday tasks such as washing clothes or joining meetings that neither come nor go to us, a good morning routine consists of doing things that will allow us to grow and develop over time. For example, we can devote time to a creative project, for example, writing a book, etc, activities that cannot be completed at once. But if we stay committed to it and follow a program, we' ll be able to make a real difference. And this is precisely the strategy followed by the most successful people every day invests in their mornings in cultivating one of these three areas, either the professional career, or personal relationships, or their personal development. Let' s start with the professional career. Having a successful professional career does not simply imply answering emails as soon as they reach your inbox.

3:37 It' s about spending time on activities that you' re usually not going to be able to do during your normal day. And an effective way to do this is by reserving your mornings to do that main job the most important thing you have to do in the day. This gives you time and space, and both are necessary to focus completely on your task without constantly worrying about interruptions. And professional development is fine, but it' s not the only pillar, as you know, that' s going to sustain a better life. Personal relationships are just as important. How many times you' ve come home after work and felt too exhausted to enjoy quality moments with your family.

4:29 If this is your case, you can also use mornings to cultivate your relationships. If you think about it carefully, mornings are a good opportunity to spend time with our family. There are many ways to do this, for example, by turning breakfast into a family meal, which is something the book proposes to us. And this brings us the third pillar, which is personal care. Time for oneself is usually one of the first things we sacrifice when we have less time, and the solution is to find that time, that time for our own needs in the mornings, that time to ask ourselves what really matters and, as I told you, for some it will be training for a marathon, for others to read more, for others to write, meditate, paint, whatever your passion. If you wake up earlier, you get time to do it. Now comes the most important question. How I begin to put into practice a new morning routine, as the book tells us that everything starts by beginning to record how you spend your time during the week, because a week has one hundred and sixty- eight hours and you have to know what you are spending so many hours. Many people think they know what their hours are for, but it is normal that we overestimate some activities, such as in their sleep and underestimate others, such as household chores, for

6:03 example. So you have to have a realistic view of how we use that time. I' m telling you, we tend to overestimate the time it takes for us to perform tasks that we don' t like and we underestimate the time we spend doing what we do like. That' s the first step, keeping that record. Second step is simple imagine your ideal morning, write how the perfect start of the day would be, very simple. And the third step is to analyze all the logistics, that is, to think if that ideal morning routine is feasible and what changes you need to make in the rest of your activities in order to do it. What if you don ' t watch TV at night and lie down a couple of hours earlier once you have this, the next thing is going to be creating new habits and consolidating them over time. It starts slowly, because that' s going to allow you to keep it motivated. Neither do you intend to dedicate the mornings to running, meditating, and writing. Start by doing just one of those three things, not the three of them. Then you can always add later.

7:12 He thinks setting ambitious goals is fine, but it means that you often won' t meet them. Meeting those smaller goals is what will keep your level of motivation high and, of course, remember to reward you. If you' re following the plan and then you' re going to have to refine that routine, because life is full of sudden changes, then you' re going to have to be able to adapt, you' re going to have to learn to make adjustments to that routine, and not just adjustments, but adjustment adjustments, because this is so. It also tells us the book that is often said that practice makes the teacher. But one of the major obstacles to decline is to try to do things automatically. I' ll give you an example. Let' s talk about driving. Driving is an activity in which you get in the car, you put the key up, you turn the key and you start driving and when you get to the place, you don' t remember anything you' ve done. And this doesn' t make us any better drivers. If you want to improve on anything, you' re going to have to consciously practice a aspiring writer, for example, because obviously it' s much better that you stop writing and ask one of your colleagues to read and criticize than what you write is much harder than writing. Yeah, but it' s the only way to grow. The writer who asks for help and modifies his style and adapts to the criticisms will

8:45 have a better result, that he is a writer, that he is a hermit and that works automatically, so practice, so but conscious practice, another advice that the book gives us is to plan the nas before he starts why to increase our productivity these consist. It' s very simple. It consists of knowing exactly what you have to do on Monday morning. And this is because when you plan for things to happen, those things usually happen. So laying the groundwork for success depends on you carefully deciding what your priorities are for the next day, for the next week and so on. And this is planning, which is a fundamental step. The next step, according to the book, is to eliminate tasks that look like work, but which are really useless. And here, then, of course, you can think of emails, write them down and answer them, even if you do a hundred messages a day. It' s part of today' s digital work and some of them are probably important, but it' s normal that you end up feeling like gos and that you haven' t done anything productive either. So sometimes it' s preferable to close that inbox and get to work on what really matters, eliminate distractions and know that really important tasks take much less time

10:16 actually than they seemed. And the book also tells us about weekends, because weekends are the perfect opportunity to rest, to recharge mental energy, physical energy, which is very important in our well- being, but it is also very easy to waste those hours, which are precious in a random combination of activities. And then, when the weekend is over, we realize that we haven' t taken advantage of those hours as much as we could have done and it gives us a simple way to make sns on the weekends, because they are more productive and that way is to plan them in advance, instead of spontaneously deciding what you' re going to do. When Saturday morning comes on Friday, you make a list of three to five activities you' re going to want to do. And this is a very effective and very simple way to waste or avoid wasting a weekend without doing anything, because in reality, in the digital age we no longer have the chance to do anything.

11:37 Before people could spend Saturday and Sunday lying on the ground, listening, singing to birds and watching the clouds pass. But today what we call doing nothing is watching TV, surfing the Internet, social media. Then having a plan in advance for the weekend is going to eliminate at least a part of all that useless activity. He thinks the good thing about weekends is that they have nothing to do with the workweek. So what you need is a pause. That' s why it' s so important to plan things that you don ' t do in any of the other five days to make it special days.

12:26 Look, you don' t have to overdo it either and have to plan what you' re going to do every minute of the weekend. But you do need a couple of activities around which you' re going to structure your weekend. And that not only allows you not to waste them, but also allows you to enjoy the expectation, that is, of that emotion that you feel as the week progresses, because you know that something pleasant comes. So you know, morning is the ideal time to meet your goals, whether it' s personal development, professional, family, or anything. So understand how you invest every hour of the day for a week and build a perfect routine. You see building those new habits gradually, consciously, planning every day, even on weekends, because having a morning routine that brings you closer to your purpose to your goals is a good way to start living better.
