The following is notes and tips I've applied recently in my successful job search. Mindset via Podcast In 2013 I was lacking in a social life and had trouble adapting to a new country and new dynamic as a father. I simply went onto iTunes top ten podcast and stumbled upon the School of Greatness by Lewis Howes and The One You Feed. These two podcast substituted for my lack of community, and provided refined mindset and positivity to keep a sustainable attitude. If you are the average of your 5 closest friends, you can also mold your mindset to be the average of the 5 podcast you listened to. The people in my group may repeat themselves and keep it cheery, but who wants a Chicken Little. Trust me I’ve worked with a Chicken Little, once that’s shit is airborn it changes direction and comes your way, and that’s an itch you don’t want to scratch. Standout 2.0 I picked this up at Dubai airport on a lark, and this book had a great impact on my growth. There was a colleagu...
AIM : Create a nightly routine to eliminate decision fatigue for routine morning tasks.
A couple years ago I noticed that my father would get up from the living room around 9:30 (mid TV program a the commercial break) and started fussing around in the kitchen, then he would take the dog for a spin and wind down for bed.

The book, The Checklist Manifesto was mentioned a couple times, on The Tim Ferriss Show by Malcolm Gladwell and Ramit Sethi. I read the book in 2016 and adopted the idea of implementing a checklist to follow in the morning to eliminate decision fatigue. It worked brilliantly, I no longer need a physical piece of paper, it's a simple habit that between 6:10 to 6:30 I get the house ready for the family to start the day.
In January of this year 2017, I read The 5 AM Miracle Book and The Miracle Morning. Great books to unlock more time in our busy lives. I myself am up at 5AM or just shy depending on my sleep cycle. I have at least one hour to Meditate, Journal, Study French, Catch Up, etc... And then my day starts at 6:10 with the checklist.
What if I could have 80 minutes (60+20) of unlocked time?
In March I started playing around with combining my tomorrow prep with the checklist, and it works wonders. At night, even if your tired, little decisions don't bother you and take less of a toll on your cognitive ability. I've now A/B tested weeks with & without tomorrow prep, and it's amazing how lost I get having an extra 20 minutes of work to do in the morning.
