This concept, which was introduced to me by Rory Vaden in his book (with the same title), has literally changed my life. I felt that I must put you up on game, especially for those entrepreneurs with lots of responsibility. #UpOnGame

0:00.0 | Welcome to the sports motivation podcast. It is your host, Nees Showbo. This is up on game. I'm excited, man. This is a relatively new series. We've been getting a ton of amazing feedback on it. People have been getting a lot of value from it. And I'm glad because that's why I started it. I literally felt like I wanted to share things with you, things that I do, |
0:22.6 | ways that I think, books that I read, haps that I use, podcast I listen to, anything that I use |
0:31.1 | that is a value to me that I thought I would share with you not because I feel like you have |
0:36.1 | to do it. Some of them I do, |
0:38.7 | honestly, and I'll tell you, yo, you got to do this. And some of them are just things that you |
0:42.9 | should try if it's relevant to you. All right? So today's episode is a concept. It's based |
0:48.9 | around a concept. And this concept was taught to me through a book. And the concept, the name of the concept actually is the name of the book. And so what is this concept? It's called procrastinating on purpose. And like I said, it's the name of a book as well. It's by Rory Vaden. It's a great book. It's a blue book. It's got him on the cover. Amazing book. Everyone should read it. I'm |
1:11.4 | pretty sure I've done a books and bars on that as well. But here's the idea. It's very, very simple. |
1:16.4 | We have a lot of things to do. I know you have a ton of things that you have to do every day. |
1:21.5 | And you know that procrastinating is not good, right? Wrong. Procrastination is not good or bad. Procrastination, actually in the way that we talk |
1:33.2 | about it, it's bad, right? It's putting off something that needs to be done. However, procrastination |
1:38.1 | in the way Rory Vaden talks about it, is really a tool. It's a tool that some people use for good, some people use for bad. |
1:46.4 | And so what do I mean by that? You have a ton of things that you have to do every day. |
1:50.0 | And a lot of times you have a hard time prioritizing what needs to be done. You're not sure what |
1:54.4 | needs to be done. And if you don't systematically prioritize, you will end up doing things that feel like they need to be done, |
2:05.2 | but they don't necessarily need to be done. But because you're doing them right now, |
2:10.4 | you're not doing other things right now that could make a bigger impact on your end game. |
2:16.2 | All right. So what Rory Vaden is basically saying and what procrastination on purpose really is, |
2:21.1 | is you deliberately saying, yeah, I'm going to put that off for right now. |
2:25.5 | And I'm not going to put it off because I'm lazy or because, you know, I'm scared or I'm anxious and I'm avoiding it. |
2:32.5 | I'm going to put it off because that's what's best for my end game. |
2:39.5 | All right. So the question is how do we do this? Number one, you should read the book and I'm not going to go into it in |
