1 00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:04,760 Speaker 1: What's up. It is the people start here at Damon 2 00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:08,200 Speaker 1: John with a motivation moment for you courtesy of that 3 00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:11,920 Speaker 1: Moment with Damon John, a production of the Blackpack podcast 4 00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:16,480 Speaker 1: network and iHeartRadio Now. According to a survey by Forbes, 5 00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:20,880 Speaker 1: seventy one percent of workers feel that they are most 6 00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:24,880 Speaker 1: productive on Monday mornings. Now, you may be saying to yourself, 7 00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:28,120 Speaker 1: that's pretty obvious. You've had time off over the weekend, 8 00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:31,080 Speaker 1: and listen, whatever your Monday morning is. Maybe you work 9 00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:35,280 Speaker 1: on the weekend and your Monday morning maybe another time. 10 00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:38,320 Speaker 1: But there's something else to look into. I want you 11 00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:40,640 Speaker 1: to think about this. Don't wait until Monday to tap 12 00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:44,360 Speaker 1: into that extra boost of productivity. Like take time over 13 00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:47,000 Speaker 1: the weekend and map out your plan for the week 14 00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:51,080 Speaker 1: ahead so you could be most efficient and as productive 15 00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:53,440 Speaker 1: as possible. You don't want to start mapping it out 16 00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:56,360 Speaker 1: on Monday, because Monday you're already charged up in your 17 00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:58,920 Speaker 1: radar rock And I like to build my to do 18 00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:02,280 Speaker 1: list and I break it into smaller, actuable steps and 19 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,200 Speaker 1: then spread them out throughout the week. And that is 20 00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:09,120 Speaker 1: necessary for me to hit my deadlines. Do not forget 21 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,039 Speaker 1: make sure you put in that to do list the 22 00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 1: things that are really important to you, time to work out, 23 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,080 Speaker 1: time with your family, time to eat right, time to 24 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:21,040 Speaker 1: just watch your favorite program so you can stop thinking 25 00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 1: about things that are taking over your brain and you 26 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,480 Speaker 1: could then be richarged. Now here is the most important 27 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:29,800 Speaker 1: part about it. Whatever that Monday is, you know the 28 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,800 Speaker 1: major task you have for that week? Do those first? 29 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:34,920 Speaker 1: Why why do you want to do those first? Well, 30 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 1: first of all, you're going to knock out a whole 31 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:39,679 Speaker 1: bunch of small things that may not be as important, 32 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:41,440 Speaker 1: and then you're gonna say, i'll get to it, I'll 33 00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:43,120 Speaker 1: get to it, I'll get to it, and you won't 34 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,039 Speaker 1: get to it. But if you knock it out first 35 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,240 Speaker 1: on Monday, well you have the most energy there. You 36 00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:53,080 Speaker 1: also have this feeling of accomplishment and everything else is 37 00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 1: a breeze. And most likely that major task is holding 38 00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:01,720 Speaker 1: up everything else. You see, the information that we give 39 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:06,480 Speaker 1: and we get can often be misunderstood because often you 40 00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 1: would think that during Monday, just knock out as many 41 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:11,080 Speaker 1: things as you can. No, I want you to work 42 00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:13,840 Speaker 1: smart and I don't want you to work hard. And 43 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,359 Speaker 1: if you feel like Monday is your most productive day, 44 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:20,920 Speaker 1: then pay attention to the past Mondays that you have 45 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 1: had and how much work you've got done. That small 46 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 1: little adjustment may change your entire life. Make sure you 47 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 1: tune in every single Monday and Tuesday for new episodes 48 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,679 Speaker 1: of That Moment with Damon John, because you're gonna learn 49 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 1: so much more and so many points that'll make you 50 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 1: the smartest person in the rule.
