Getting Back to the Basics
We're going back to the basics. I don't care how productive you would say you are - maybe you're not productive at all. The key to productivity is going back to the basics.
Professional athletes, every year when they return to training camp, do you know what they do for the first week? They go back to the basics. For example, let's take American football.
When they return to training camp, they're not in their pads. The quarterbacks are throwing simple passes. The running backs are running, just to run. The receivers are just catching balls. They're doing basic blocking. The coaching staff wants to make sure everyone is on a level playing field.
And so in this episode, I want to take you back to the basics.
I have four ideas that are going to help you get back to the basics. Again, I don't care how productive or not productive you are. I want to take you back to the basics.
The first thing is, I want you to...

4 Methods to Slow Down and Increase Your Peace
TRANSCRIPT
How fast is life going for you?
I bet pretty fast.
I'm 55-years-young. In July 1997, I moved from Rochester, NY down here to Houston, TX. And the other day, I was thinking, "Holy cow, I've lived here 22 years already?" It's insane.
Time keeps going on and it keeps speeding up. I don't care how old you are.
We are a society where everything's on 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Except for leap years, in which case it's 366 days.
And I wanted to create a video for you here to share with you some ideas for how you can slow down.
We're always rushing.
We're going from podcast to podcast, video to video, blog post to blog post, store to store, social media post to social media post. And we're always going.
We need to slow down.
I've got four ideas for how you can slow down.
Number one...I want you to write more and type less.
Now, what this means is instead of typing things on...
