What

is it? 60 bastards. It's your boy, Rob. I can't lose a No Kegan. Today I'm gonna talk about my favorite productivity hacks of all time these air ones that I have used for the past 20 years of working on these Interwebs. And I want to share with you so that you can get benefits out of them today. If you have any good productivity hack, you wanna let me know about 70 mo podcast that OK door to come or send a tweet at Noah Kegan. I've loved in turn any new productivity hack that you're doing for yourself. So let's get it on. The 1st 1 is speeding up the mouse, and this one is always the most basic one. But a lot of times people who said this is what you're known for, which I thought was kind of crazy. So your track pad on your laptop or your mouse? If it's not at the full speed,

your day is going at half speed. So that's if you're on a PC or a Mac. Just go to your trackpad settings. It's really, really easy. Go to tracking speed and move it all the way to the right to fastest. The thing I like to talk about we did this in earlier podcast episode is Think about the top of the funnel. If you're trackpad is slow, everything else is going to be slower from that. So speed that your tracks right up to the fastest. I'm going to three. Other boat is tech ones for you to go do. This is a simple one. But if you're not working on the fastest computer or the fastest phone, your time is your most valuable thing and waiting for it to boot up or waiting for it like load some shit or whatever it is wasting a lot of time. And if you compounded over the year,

it's worth whatever $500,000 you're gonna spend to get something better. I just upgraded the new iPad Pro and yes, it was 1000 bucks, but I was just like, Wow, it's so much faster and every day that adds up how much time I save. So think about that number to learning a type faster. If you're not typing at 80 words per minute, you're wasting a lot of your day. And yes, you can think fast and type fast. Check out type racer dot com to improve your typing speed. I've seen a high correlation of people who tight, fast and high performance, so learn how to type faster. Boat is number three in Gmail.

Learn the keyboard shortcuts. Turn on keyboard shortcuts and how you do this is when you go into Gmail Hit shift Question Mark, If you're not using J and K an exclamation point in hashtag, then you're going too slow in your email. And if you start using that stuff you were like, Oh, damn, this is good. But just go learn the keyboard shortcuts. They will super help you for your Gmail usage. All right, next up bed optimization. So in bed optimization sleep is eight hours your day. It's the foundation of your life. If your bed in your sleep is not optimized, your whole day is not gonna optimize.

So here's a few things that I do, and I recommend number one. Get an air filter. I used the winnicks 5300-2, and the reason I did this is that for a long time I wake up kind of stuffy and my because of an old ass house or because awesome guy allergy stuff. But go get an air filter, and that significantly changed it in this one. I like because it kind of goes quiet at night, and it turns off all the lights number to try a bunch of different pillows out. I've tried my pillow dot com. I've tried. Layla tried a bunch of other random brands, the one that I virtually ended up with his. I have a big one in the back just for support, and I use a tough to needle pillow the guys sent me a few years ago. And surprisingly,

it's my favorite for my neck. But try one out and figure out what works best for your neck. Number three. A mattress topper This is the cheapest way if you don't have a lot of money to upgrade your sleep for 50 bucks, I think it's around that for most types of the size of beds, and it just makes it little bit more cushy. There's a new thing called a chilly pad and a hula, but I haven't messed around with those, but basically it helps reduce the temperature. Your bed. I just have a mattress topper that works for me. Next up, I use a bed. A signature sleeper. You can buy it for 450 bucks for a king on Amazon. I've tried almost all the other Major Brandon have returned him because I found this to be half the price in the most comfortable for my sleeve style,

which is fetal position. I guess you would say I'm a side sleeper. I'm a Cutler. Come on. You know, Lee, you know, a big spoon, baby. So, yeah, signature sleeper names on 2040 50 bucks. That's the one I use and last up. I've been using the war ring. You've heard about it on one of the earlier episodes. Oh,

you are a ring dot com. The reason I've loved it is that is, it sets my intention of Oh, shit. You got to go to sleep. It reminds me what time to go to sleep. It makes it like, Hey, if you're gonna drink, you're gonna sleep badly. And so I think it really helps Get my mind to know that I have to get my sleep on aunt have by my bed, and I work every night I go to sleep pleasant school to see your stats and like today was like, Hey, you're ready for the day. I was like, I'm not ready But it said I was ready,

so I got ready. All right, Next up. Favor all time productivity hack of all time Sunday accountability. Check in with my buddy Adam for my body tutor dot com. We both send these to each other. I think I'm sure there's a lot of times I will share it again of how exactly we do it. In my email from the previous week, I review what I did in my work, my work out, my personal. And I've added a new section this year, which is my woman. And so every Sunday I review, what did I do last week against how I said I was gonna do, and I plan out for what I want to do this upcoming week.

In my work, I generally have 3 to 5 things that I want to do this week. So one of them was record this podcast in my workout. I say, What am I gonna commit to four workouts this week? So for this week, it's two workouts, three boxing and 75 miles of bike riding. And in my personal is things I want to do for myself, like, make no happy. So this week, my buddy lawyer's gonna have a bar mitzvah. I'm gonna go to a store making class. That's pretty cool. And I'm gonna watch the Warriors beat the Raptors on the new category of the year that I'm really said I was in my woman categories.

So prioritizing and putting more time in my relationship. So we're gonna massage is gonna go to some weird ass dance party with my buddy Andy on Saturday, and I'm gonna go to you, Chico. Happy hour today. So I do that and I basically write that on every Sunday, and I sent it to Adam, and I have a reminder that it comes back in the next Sunday And so every week it kind of keeps me accountable and plans my weak. The other thing I do with this that's really helpful is I schedule it out. So I knew today I was going to do my podcast stuff. So you take the things in your work, work out woman personal, put him in a counter and you make sure that should happens. So that is how I do my Sunday accountability check ins from a week next up. Here's how you actually make sure I get my should dunny today. I use it through Index three by five.

Card on If you can hear me touching that card. So how I do my card is I either the night before I wake up in the morning and I say, Let me look at my list of what I said I was gonna done this week and what was gonna done today and just put it down on an index card. And it feels so good. Like I'm doing this podcast record. Let me. Can you hear that? That's me. Mark it off. The podcast recording, Yes, Got it done. So I just like in next cards. I find it nice to have the physical. I know some people actually have pages. I think Neville does a page every day and it just keeps every page,

but then discards. It kind of worked well for me, and I think that might work well for you. So go grab some index three by five cards and see if each day just having 3 to 5 things on your card really helps you be productive. One bonus thing that I've added in this year that I've actually found really helpful for as you write 3 to 5 things on your card and then star the most important thing that day because it's so easy to get distracted. You know what I'm saying? There's all these things going on and everything, but he wants your attention. So on my card, I star the thing that, like is number one, and that's actually helped me say All right, let me make sure I get that done first in my day. Next up is the stride app. It's, ah,

free app, I think on Android, but I use it on my iPhone. It is the stride app, And so, with my stride up, basically like it because it reminds me every day of things I want to do. Foundation, Aly and things I wanna make sure I get done to start my day off great and have a great day. I think most you'll wake up. My mind is not great. We'll build a dam as good foundation and habits in the morning, so the rest of day is easier. I'll just tell you the six things I do every single day, and you can copy this or do your own. So number one is I read my daily mantra.

I'll tell you about what's in that next number. Two. I have a learned something, so every day I want to learn something gently that's reading. It could be a podcast that could be a YouTube video number three. Study. Hebrew number four Drinkwater number five Take college and I'm getting older. I want to keep that skin tight and number five walk 5000 steps a day. I used odometer plus plus. I just find it actually is a stupid, easy and really fun to just have on my phone to track my walking so that every day reminds me like, No, you said you'd go do this. Go do it. Next up is my daily mantra. So in my daily mantra,

let me just share a little bit of what's in it. But basically because stride reminds me to do this every day, I go do it every day. So first off I have things that are kind of keywords and themes that I want each for the time being. And this is stuff that, actually it's a living documents we keep updating as you're evolving. So a few of my key words or show up be a stable foundation, courage and clarity. And then I have some descriptions and sentences like for the clarity. It's reduced things that Domi and Courage is being afraid and doing it anyways. So that's what I haven't there and then below it in my deal, a mantra. I have my goals for the year and my work work out personal and visits. So I think it's a helpful. It's possible to be seeing your goals as often as possible and making sure that you see him often and you put him in that calendar so that shit gets done. All right,

three more things in my favorite productivity hacks of all time daily reminders. So in your phone. If you tell Siri, let me just tell you right now. Hey, Siri, remind me at 9 a.m. every day to write what I'm grateful for. You see, you could just do that. And now every morning at 9 a.m. it reminds me, and that's what I do have been doing it for the past three years and others, right? What I'm grateful for So it could be something to stupid is hot water, but it's kind of nice. Sometimes you don't really appreciate things as much. So today I appreciated saw nous yesterday.

Appreciated bone broth. Ah, this few days before squash crawfish boils. My buddy John Ross poker date nights. So anyways, just a nice way to have a little bit of gratitude in the morning. So I encourage you to do that really simple basic way. Make sure you feel good every morning. Number eight Don't bring a charger when you're going to work. So if you go, we're gonna cafe or, you know, if you work in your office, I noticed, if I don't my charge I was like, Should I've only got a few hours battery left on my laptop.

I can't go for round. I've actually gotta focus on the things that I really want to get done. And guess what? Because that limitation, I generally get it done. It's got the same. Is working an airplane when I don't have that WiFi gonna be productive. So if you don't have your charger last I was gonna die, you have to go home. Probably be damn productive. Next time you go to a cafe, give that a shot. Don't bring your charger and last up. Go get an assistant. Time is everything it really is. And it doesn't come back as the older I get is the more wrinkles that come.

I start really thinking about this a lot more, And how can I leverage my time by service's or by people? And so paying for an assistant or paying for service is that can save you time like insta cart is a no brainer, even if it's 10 $15 like that's there and back. So use time, etcetera dot comments on my brother use. I have a personal assistant that I found from a friend who had won. So look for referrals. But go get an assistant highly, highly recommended in saving you time, making her life a lot better and being more productive. So those are my fever productivity hacks of all time number one. Speed up your mouse and improve your technology Number two Bed optimization sze number three Sunday accountability. Check ins number four index card systems number five, Stride app. Number six Daily mantra number seven Daily reminders of what?

You're grateful for it. Number eight. Don't bring your charger to the cafe at number nine, getting assistant. Or use time et cetera to get your time back. All right, go be productive is hell.
