The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People has sold more than 40 million copies.

Don't have time to read it?
—No worries.

Here are the 7 key lessons you should apply:

Habit #1 — BE PROACTIVE

It all starts with action.

Rather than being "reactive" (externally influenced).
Focus on being "proactive" (initiative-taking).

This puts you in firm control of your life.
Habit #2 — BEGIN WITH THE END IN MIND

"No wind is favorable if one does not know to which port one is sailing."

I use this goal-setting system to stay on track myself:

Who do I want to be --> Monthly goal to achieve it? --> Daily action to reach that goal?

I update weekly.
Habit #3 — FIRST THINGS FIRST

Knowing the work that moves the needle is half the battle.

The Eisenhower Matrix can come in handy here:

Urgent + Important - Do it
Important + Not urgent - Schedule it
Urgent + Not important - Delegate it
Not urgent + Not important - Delete it
Habit #4 — THINK WIN-WIN

Always strive to find a mutually beneficial solution.

How to:
- Be as objective as possible
- Try to see from their perspective
- Determine what a "win" truly means for both parties
- Work to find the best solution for both parties
Habit #5 — SEEK FIRST TO UNDERSTAND, THEN TO BE UNDERSTOOD

Most underrated skill: Listening

Everyone loves a great listener.

I suggest reading the book "How to Win Friends and Influence People" or read my thread on it:
Habit #6 — SYNERGIZE

Leverage.

One of the fastest ways to get it is by combining forces with someone who compliments your skill set.

This can also be done by tapping into your own unique combination of skills and experience that can't be replicated by anyone else.
Habit #7 — SHARPEN THE SAW

Stay sharp.

- Physically
- Mentally
- Spiritually
- Socially

The most successful people in the world are playing the long game.

Keep your body and mind in peak shape if you want to compete.

7 habits that are damn hard to do, but pay off forever:

1. Delaying gratification

Your ability to delay gratification will largely determine where you end up in life.

It sounds extreme, but it's true.

You wouldn't plant a seed, and dig it up every 2 days to check on it.

True growth requires patience and discipline.


2. Fixing your sleep

I used to think it was normal that I felt fatigued by 4PM every day.

It wasn't until after I fixed my sleep, I realized I had been deprived of it for years.

Low quality/quantity sleep will kick your ass.

Here's what I did:


3. Seeking feedback

Humans are sensitive creatures.

Few are good at accepting criticism.
Even fewer are good at applying it.

Master the art of seeking feedback and implementing it.

Your growth will skyrocket.


4. Breaking the procrastination cycle

Procrastination plagues us all.

Overthinking.
Overplanning.
Overanalyzing.

Whenever you're able to shorten the time between idea and execution — you level up.

Here are steps to become an action taker:

Ivor Cummins has been wrong (or lying) almost entirely throughout this pandemic and got paid handsomly for it.

He has been wrong (or lying) so often that it will be nearly impossible for me to track every grift, lie, deceit, manipulation he has pulled. I will use...


... other sources who have been trying to shine on light on this grifter (as I have tried to do, time and again:


Example #1: "Still not seeing Sweden signal versus Denmark really"... There it was (Images attached).
19 to 80 is an over 300% difference.

Example #2 - "Yes, I'm comparing the Noridcs / No, you cannot compare the Nordics."

I wonder why...

Example #3 - "I'm only looking at what makes the data fit in my favour" a.k.a moving the goalposts.
