The Secret to Genius (Only the 1% Know This)
Minimalism is often considered as a design philosophy but you can use also apply it to productivity and focus.
Here’s one thing I‘ve observed in the most creative and productive people on the planet:
They understand that the secret to genius is not complexity, it’s simplicity.
If you look at a Picasso of any industry, if you look at great entrepreneurs, they didn‘t fill their workdays and their personal lives with a lot of things.
They filled them with a few things.
You can use the same reasoning as a technology to create exponential productivity.
I like to call it "learned minimalism".
One of the secrets to iconic productivity is to be monomaniacally focused at being world-class at just a few things.
Apply it to your home: fill it with just a few things
To your work life: just a few projects
To your clients: just the highest leverage clients
And especially your days
Focus, focus, focus on just those few priorities that when you go deep in them and invest your focus, energy, and willpower on those few things, allow you to birth art into the world which will allow the world to call you world-class.
