    Study Notes

    Following Through

    • Following through is a combination of focus, self-discipline, action, and persistence.
    • Focus directs your thoughts and actions toward achieving your vision.
    • Self-discipline enables you to work even when you don't feel like it and gives you the power to control your thoughts, feelings, and actions.
    • Action translates intention into reality.
    • Persistence keeps you going even when faced with obstacles, distractions, and setbacks.

    Rules for Following Through

    • Rule 1: Understand if you are acting out of laziness and if it's a behavior you want to carry.
    • Rule 2: Limit yourself to three major tasks a day. Differentiate between important tasks, urgent tasks, and wasted motion.
    • Rule 3: Create daily limitations and requirements. Make statements about what you cannot do and what you must do.
    • Rule 4: Reaffirm your intentions by stating:
      • "I want...": Define your end goal and its benefits.
      • "I will...": Describe the actions needed to achieve your goal.
      • "I won't...": State what you will avoid to stay on track.
    • Rule 5: Consider the consequences of not following through. Think about your future self and the potential benefits or drawbacks of your choices.
    • Rule 6: Start with just 10 minutes and gradually increase your time until you reach a point of momentum.

    Follow-Through Mindsets

    • Mindset 1: Believe in the worth of your efforts. Embrace the feeling of belonging and impact towards your goals.
    • Mindset 2: Get comfortable with discomfort. Embrace challenges as opportunities for growth and change.

    • Mindset 4: De-stress. Recognize that stress can hinder your willpower and focus.

    Systems for Following Through

    • Daily systems streamline work and make actions systematic to encourage progress.
    • Gather information and materials upfront. This reduces work and avoids roadblocks later.
    • Use daily systems to prevent failure and propel success by focusing on consistency and long-term progress.
