https://deanbokhari.com/marginal-gains/ | Rerun: EP279. "Marginal Gains" | Marginal Gains What if I told you that you could transform your entire life if you decided to get just 1% better in each of the areas that matter to you? In 2003, a man named David Brailsford was hired to help a struggling British Cycling team. At the time, British Cycling was weak. They hadn’t won a single Olympic Gold medal since 1908. And no British cyclist had ever won the Tour de France. Dave Brailsford was tasked with changing that. He had an interesting approach to success, known as the “‘Marginal Gains” philosophy, also called the “1% Factor.” His method was simple and straight-forward: Push the team to get 1% better each day. Brailsford’s concept was, that if you broke down every single thing you could think of that goes into cycling—and improved it by just 1%— you’d gain a significant increase when you put them all together. Basically, he was applying the compound effect. Brailsford looked at every little thing he could possibly improve upon in order to create a winning team. He measured and monitored all of the traditional stats of his athletes, like a cyclists’ power output, physical fitness and nutrition. He targeted specific weaknesses on the team and sought to improve upon them bit-by-bit. But Brailsford also looked at improving often-overlooked areas, and implemented tiny tactics to help them get the edge: All-in-all, it was a much more holistic approach to success. The changes they made were tiny, but over time, compounded to make a significant impact. From 2007 to 2017, the British Cycling team won 178 world championships, and 66 Olympic gold medals. In 2010, as the general manager of the British-based professional cycling team, Team Sky (now known as Team Ineos), Brailsford set a goal to take his cycling team to a winning position in the Tour de France in the next 5 years. He implemented his “Marginal Gains” principle and began working to improve every area of his cycling team by 1%… And they took home a gold medal at the Tour De France within 3 years. By 2018, they’d gone on to take home 6 Tour de France victories. That’s an incredible improvement, to say the least. How Marginal Gains can Transform Your Life. If you can get just 1% better each day for a single year, you’ll end up thirty-seven times better by the same time next year. This also works in the opposite direction: if you get 1% worse each day for a single year, you’ll decline down to nearly zero. Focus on making small improvements each day, over time those small improvements will equate to massive change. For example, let’s say you want to lose weight and get in shape. Instead of focusing on losing 50 lbs, concentrate on working out for just 30 minutes three times a week for 30 days. Over time you will begin to see changes in your body. Thirty minutes a day, three times a week for 52 weeks is 4,680 minutes worth of exercise. If you can find a way to improve each of the major areas of your life by just 1% every day, beginning today, you will have transformed your life completely by this time next year. Unfortunately, most people apply the exact opposite approach: they’ll use short spurts of motivation to work themselves into burnout—before losing steam and giving up before they see any progress at all… Don’t let that be you. Imagine what your life would look like a year from now if you decided to apply the 1% factor to start making marginal gains on your goals want to read more books One month from now: One year from now: Bottom line? Small, simplistic actions repeated regularly, can lead to dramatic changes over time. Actionable insight: Set yourself a challenge to get 1% better each day for the next 30 daysKeep in mind: marginal gains are about paying attention to the small action stepsmaking small changes ### Share on Facebook Tweet Share on LinkedIn

This article/episode was inspired by The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle. In this piece, we’ll be discussing how to defeat anxiety and stress by bringing yourself into the present moment. Scroll down to read or click Play to listen. LIVING IN THE NOW IS THE KEY TO FREEING YOURSELF OF PAIN. ”The more you are able to honor and accept the Now, the more you are free of pain, of suffering – and free of the egoic mind.” —Eckhart Tolle (from The Power of Now) It is important to focus on making the Now the main priority in your life. Even if the present moment is uncomfortable or difficult, accepting rather than trying to fight it or go against it will bring great rewards. When we do not access the power of the Now, every painful emotion we have leaves its mark on us and lives on, combining with other pain we’ve experienced throughout our lives. This pain becomes powerful negative energy that affects the body and mind - Tolle calls this a "pain body." When pain bodies become too strong, they can take over. When you're experiencing pain, there is a way to achieve consciousness and defeat it. First, recognize the pain; accept the fact that it exists without identifying with it or judging it. Become an observer of what's happening inside you and it will lose its power over you. Fear occurs when we are in the present, but our minds are in the future thinking about what could happen. It is impossible to deal with something that has not happened yet, so anxiety often occurs. People who only identify with their minds and thoughts rather than their true deeper self will live with fear forever. The ego also creates a pain within us that stems from feeling like we're not whole...

The journal—it’s one of those things that can be as useless as a piece of trash, or one of the most valuable things you’ve ever owned… It all depends on what you fill that journal’s pages with. Today, I’m going to share some of my personal favorite journaling ideas. You can use them all, combine the ones you like, or pick the single journaling idea that most resonates with where you’re at in life right now. Either way, journaling—when done regularly—almost always leads to fresh, new insights and ideas that can absolutely transform your life. I’ve used all of these journaling ideas below at some point in my life. Either to get through tough times, to achieve my goals, maintain my sanity, or to foster my creative efforts (like fleshing out topic ideas for articles, podcasts or talks.) Whichever one of these journaling ideas you decide to use, just promise me this: you’ll actually use them. Because they’ll only work if you work them… FULL ARTICLE VERSION AVAILABLE HERE: https://www.deanbokhari.com/journaling-ideas/ NOTE: This episode is a rerun of EP#181.

MeaningfulHQ.com | 293. Emotions Create Habits

MeaningfulHQ.com | 292. The Daily Design | Nobody wakes up in the morning and says, “Today I want to put out fires all day long.” But you probably know what a day like that feels like. I’m talking about those days when you wake up wanting to make meaningful progress on your goals, but you end up being pulled in every direction but the one you want to be going towards. What do you do when that happens? If you’re not sure, you’re not at fault—they don’t teach us how to be intentional in grade school. But if you are ready to start being more intentional about each of your days, let me introduce you to a simple habit that can help you: I call it the Daily Design. And it takes less than five minutes a day, but can provide you with just enough intention, inspiration and structure to focus on doing meaningful work—on moving the needle on the things that matter most to you each day.
