hey what's up Huntington here from niche
site project in this livestream I'm
going to talk about a Tim Ferriss blog
post in podcast episode that I found
super helpful I really enjoyed it back
when I heard it years ago
and it's about productivity so I've been
talking a lot about productivity in the
last couple weeks a few blog post on it
and a few live streams too so if people
are on here live I welcome you thanks
for hopping on live I appreciate the
support let me know if you could hear me
that's always good to know
I see we got Jeff on a few other folks
and I'll hop over there in a second now
2013 was back in November it was called
let me get it right here so productivity
tricks for the neurotic manic-depressive
and crazy and like me so that's that's
Tim's words there and he talked about
how you know he's a little he's a little
nuts right he's a little he's not
perfect he does the best he can and he
takes us through you know how he
struggled through a few different areas
and I can give you some highlights in a
second and then he's also he also
mentions some great successes some huge
productivity milestones which I'll get
to as well and then he sort of mentions
and lets everyone know that he's not
perfect right he he struggles like
everyone else and he has an eight-step
sort of coping mechanism to deal with it
and make it through the day in a
productive
type way so and I see we got some some
folks on we have Jeff and Dennis and
Kent hey everyone and Nick also so I'm
gonna highlight a couple of the things
that Tim mentions and then of course I'm
gonna put my own spin on it tim has his
own commentary and stuff on this process
that he has and I took what I liked and
applied it to my own my own way so a
couple things that Tim mentions is he he
talks about
sort of the the bad the bad stuff like
the parts that you don't see but he
struggles like everyone else so he said
he he cried while watching Rudy he
repeatedly hit snooze for one to three
hours past his plan to wake up time he
said he considered giving everything
away and moving to some other City
Montreal Seville or Iceland and he saw a
therapist and he was convinced that he
was doomed to a long life of pessimism
again this is back in 2013 when he
published this he says he's taken his
daily caffeine intake so high that his
resting pulse was 120 beats per minute
and that was like 8 to 10 cups of coffee
per day at a minimum as I am drinking
some coffee right now although I'm
cutting back by the way I'm cutting back
on the coffee and I see with Shea's on
also so I know it could be the first
time some folks are watching me today I
talk a lot so I'm gonna pause here for a
second before we move on to the next
section so my name is Doug Huntington I
focus on Amazon affiliate niche sites
and internet marketing I also talk about
project management and productivity like
I am today and you can check out my blog
at a niche site project if you're
interested there's a lot of free
material there's tons of free material
if you're watching YouTube you obviously
like YouTube also I have a YouTube
channel where I focus hugely on the
Amazon affiliate portion there's hours
and hours of material they are free
training you know I I think a lot of the
free material that I have on my youtube
channel is much better than paid courses
out there if you just take the time to
watch the videos and I encourage you to
watch him at 2x speed get through him a
little bit faster so the getting back to
Tim's blog post here so he's not perfect
right we see these successes out front
but we don't hear about you know his
lifelong pessimism and I guess drinking
so much caffeine although you know on
Podcast he doesn't mention this stuff he
says it seems pretty dysfunctional but
then he jumps into the portion where
he's done really well right so he says
in the LAT last eight weeks he bought
his dream house he's increased his
passive income by 20%
he's been meditating more he's cut his
caffeine intake he's raised money for
charity and so on and so forth so he's
sort of he's doing well despite the fact
that he struggles just like everyone
else and by the way just curious if
people in the chat people that are
watching live have you guys read this
blog post or seen the or watched the
podcast rather just curious if people
have been exposed to this before so now
I'm gonna take you through the process
that Tim tells us he does so he says
it's he's not really good at efficiency
which it's a good point right now it's
for me to give you the definition so you
have efficiency and then you have
effectiveness and efficiency is doing
things quickly you know getting a lot of
things done fast like say sending a
bunch of emails out right if you could
do that fast you're a fast typer great
that's efficient being effective is
getting things done that are there
actually the right things right things
that bring you closer to your goal so
it's very easy to become obsessed with
efficiency trying to send a lot of
emails doing busy work doing paperwork
versus you know being effective and
picking those things that may be hard to
do sort of ill-defined difficult to
process and unstructured those things
that get you closer to your goal those
are harder to do and here is sort of how
Tim copes with it so it's 8 steps I'm
going to go through the high points here
so number one wake up an hour before you
have to be at the computer screen number
two make a cup of tea he makes puer tea
and he sits down with a pen and paper
he writes three to five things and no
or that are making him anxious or
uncomfortable so a lot of times those
are things that have been moving from
one day's to-do list to the next and so
on and he mentions as a good rule of
thumb most important the most important
things are usually the most
uncomfortable with some chance of
rejection or conflict and you know my
thing that I can add is a lot of times
those are those are unstructured we
don't like to do them because they're
unstructured they're gonna take a long
time and I mean for me I'll talk about
it more in a second but for me it may
take you know ten fifteen 45 minutes for
me to like get in the right mind frame
to actually do the work that I need to
do that may take 90 minutes so it's a
little it's a long warm-up time but if
you're you know if you're running a
marathon right like you warm up a little
bit you don't just wake up out of bed
and start running so moving on
step four Tim asks his self he asks
himself for each item if this were the
only thing I accomplished today would I
be satisfied with my day and well moving
this forward make all other two dues
unimportant or easier to knock off later
so ask that for each of the three to
five things you write down next number
five look at the items you've answered
yes to at least one of those questions
number six block out two to three hours
to focus on one of them for today just
one so he says let the rest of the
urgent but less important stuff set
aside let it slide and he says number
seven to be clear block out two to three
hours and focus on one item for today
you can't put together ten minutes here
and there to add up to 120 minutes and
just like get the same benefit you
really have to have the block of time
agree with that 100% and last number
eight if you get distracted or start
procrastinating don't freak out and go
into a downward spiral just get back to
work
and get back to the one thing that
you're working on
okay and the the big thing you know that
he's doing is getting you to focus on
you know the one
hopefully most important item that you
have right focused on the one thing
that's gonna help move things forward
and make the biggest difference and the
the pieces that I take away cuz there's
some stuff in there that is good for
routine but isn't you know necessary for
everyone where you should maybe
substitute your own portion of the
routine in so for me
right I sort of narrowed it down and you
know refined it a little bit further and
I'm gonna COFF here in a second so I'm
gonna mute
okay sorry about that okay so to narrow
it down to a three step process in which
you could pepper in your other you know
routines however you want to deal with
it this is what I recommend so pick one
to two things to work on first thing in
the morning I'll give you all the
caveats afterwards so this is what I do
pick one to two things to work on first
thing in the morning
preferably right you're choosing this
either the night before or days before
so if you're into sort of a weekly
planning process then sure you can sort
of plan that out a little bit ahead of
time kind of know what you're gonna work
on of course at the end of each day that
could shift a little bit so the point is
pick one to two things to work on giving
you a little more flexibility than you
know Tim their number to avoid email and
social media or fill in your other
distractors right so for me email and
social media that'll slow me down in the
morning get me distracted if you you
know if you love watching the news in
the morning for some reason avoid that
you know it gets you distracted it's not
a great thing to do if you need to do
something else right here are a couple
of great things
read a book right so read a little bit
of a book that is by far way higher
quality than a blog post on average
right some bloggers are fantastic and
they happen to write books also but in
general there's a way more poor unedited
just not as high-quality untested blog
post so if you can't avoid just that
portion like whatever is distracting you
avoid it so if you could read a book
that's great if you can go for a walk or
exercise whatever exercise you want to
do do that right so it could be you know
some some walking it could be running it
could be yoga it could be meditation or
just some sort of guided breathing
whatever you want to do but the point is
to avoid distractions it sort of gets
you off track
- you need inputs walking outside is a
good one where the inputs are just you
know absorbing your surroundings or a
book that is well-written that has been
edited and published and printed not
some blog posts like I mean I published
them to write but not a blog post where
someone could write it that day publish
it and it may not be that great and then
number three the most important part
worked for at least 90 minutes and go
longer you know me personally if you're
in the zone and I hit the 90 minute
period I work past it you know go for
another 30 minutes go for another hour
and a half if you have no energy right
if I'm really well rested which I have
been more lately if you're really well
rested then I could work for longer
periods one thing to note I do take
short five to 10 minute breaks probably
once an hour to just get up from my desk
stretch my legs
go grab grab some water more coffee
whatever but just think you know get up
and stop staring at the screen for a few
minutes so again I pepper in other
things so I put in you know the three
main ideas know what you're gonna work
on avoid distractions and then work at
least for 90 minutes up to you know
three hours or so depending on what the
task is this is really hard to do every
day if I could do this three days a week
that's fantastic you know there are some
days where I get up and I check email
and I need to answer a bunch of emails
cuz I'm you know I can batch that and
you know on the right day I could blast
through the emails and it's not in most
cases it's not moving the business
forward but it is interesting it is
interesting so that is how I put it
together I see a couple of questions out
there okay so any questions on the topic
and let's see so we have someone you'd
Utah says can
please suggest a domain name okay so
Friday is the Q&A day so if you want me
to answer your question if you just
leave it in the comment right so leave
it in the comments for this video and
I'll answer it and you know I'll just
I'll answer these shortly in a very
brief manner you could pick a domain
name it doesn't matter what it is just
pick one super easy
let's say says I plan on writing about
80 keyword golden ratio articles over
the next three or four months do you
think I should be focused more on
effectiveness or efficiency let's see I
think in this case a blend right it's
like if you have a specific target you
know 80 over a specific time frame then
like you should make it as high quality
as you can but I mean if you are giving
yourself those constraints and you
already know what you need to work on so
you know I'm not sure the right answer
on that you know it comes into play
because what you're talking about is a
you know a project over a period of time
where you're delivering specific output
you've already determined so that should
be fairly straightforward and there are
little pieces here and there the key
would be not to get bogged down in the
sort of meaningless tasks of that
process so I don't know what they would
be exactly but I can give you a little
example just off the top of my head if
you have your 80 keywords already and
don't touch keyword research again until
you have all your like content published
the point being if you've already
finished a piece of work a lot of time a
lot of times people will keep doing
keyword research because it's kind of
fun or
I don't think it's fun but people will
do it because it's an activity that they
can you know do and it feels productive
but really it's just busy so if you
already have your keywords or if you
already have like you know all your
writers in place then focus on
everything after that so don't waste
your time on stuff you've already done
Dennis says list tasks on the day for
the white board first task of the day
great and Suhail says when does the
course open up again okay so what course
are you talking about five figure
insight that'll open again in January I
have a Productivity course coming out
it'll open for enrollment very limited
enrollment next Monday so it'll be a
much more economic choice versus the you
know the five figure niche site I mean
it's different topics right so this
productivity course is about
productivity
hence the topic today and yeah so it'll
be very limited though I'm only gonna
let in a very small number of people so
it's not like you know some people are
developing courses to get you know a
huge payday I'm trying to develop really
good material so I'm only letting people
in that are gonna do the work they're
gonna you know follow through and it you
know and go through everything so Nick
says do I have any tasks that I do every
single day without fail or do i tackle
things more in Sprint's based on the day
of the week so I don't I probably always
reply to my support email for my
customers I always do that and I I kind
of do I wouldn't do Sprint's based on
the day of the week but I batch my work
based on I guess what is going on so
leading up to like the course launch I'm
working a lot on the course material any
marketing materials that may be related
but mostly on the course material
there's a tremendous amount of work and
putting together a course that is the
part that people don't tell you about
courses
okay and then another question from Utah
about affiliate marketing do I think
affiliate marketing has future scope yes
and then the note is I feel like people
are going for cash back sites more these
days okay interesting all right
and let's see sue Hall says what are the
prices for both of my courses so the
this I don't talk about the prices
usually in any videos or anything like
that because the prices can change in
the future in fact they do often the
Fivefinger niche site course again it
doesn't come out till January so you
have plenty of time to look at that the
course next week it's gonna be under
$100 I can tell you that all right any
other questions or thoughts on you know
productivity or it's really awesome when
the questions are about the topic and
I'll mention that Friday I do just
general Q&A so you can ask random
questions I have nothing to do with
whatever I saw some chatter about crypto
what did Nick say sell all your niche
sites and become a crypto traitor I
don't know anything about that I've
completely 100% ignored and he sort of
crypt out anything so I really have my
head in the sand okay sue Hall Suhail a
great question here what do I think
about the productivity niche as an
affiliate site why be building a
separate site for my productivity course
or just using YouTube for traffic so the
productivity niche is probably a really
tough one I think if you were developing
one as an affiliate site you may
struggle a little bit like finding
enough products and having oh you know
what I never I never even looked for
products
so maybe there's a bunch out there but I
would imagine there's not like a direct
product related to productivity there's
a lot of stuff a lot of information
products that may be out there but it
would be tough
in general I think if you if you did
like productivity 4x type of user then
you'd have better luck why be building a
separate site for my productivity course
not at this time in the interest of
execution I'm gonna houses it at my and
serve up the course from five-figure
niche site and as far as traffic I have
you know my normal marketing methods
okay and Wesley says something about
Bitcoin great any other productivity
things out there ok again if if you're
interested in more productivity stuff
the pilot course is coming out next
Monday I'm only allowing a few people in
just in general again it will be very
very I guess you'll be working close
with me right so again I'm honing the
material I've been working through the
material for over a year or so and it's
good but you only get the best feedback
when you actually have other people
using it executing and then I can figure
out you know where I need to tweak it
any gaps that are out there so this is
really important to me that's why it's
gonna be a small number of people and
then there will think there will be four
right there'll be four live sessions
where I go over material and they'll be
yes very you know a short Q&A at the end
on that material right so if you're in
the productivity course I'm not going to
answer questions about affiliate
marketing just doesn't make sense
plus there won't be people in there that
don't do affiliate marketing and they're
only interested in the productivity
additionally they'll be like a
straight-up QA for the pilot students
and of course is a pilot member you'll
be able to take advantage of all the
additional material that I add to the
course later on so okay
and then you'd says how to manage sleep
for more productivity basically sleep
more like if you could if you could
manage it right sleep more it'll
definitely help if you think you only
need six hours a night like try to add
like an hour to additional sleep and
you'll feel much better I could run on
six hours a night but it runs me down
I'll tend to get sick more often and
that that sort of stuff Suhail says how
will we have access to you through the
course it'll be via email and of course
like I mentioned there will be live
webinar sessions just for the students
so there will be interaction there
there's going to be four sessions where
I'm mainly presenting material there
will be one session where it's straight
up QA and there will be email support
that is the method right so email
support someone is asking about my sites
so that that's cool so any of the
questions any of the general questions
you have ask them on like in the
comments and then sue Hale says will I
be looking at people's projects
individually yes actually I will so that
that is part of it I will look at I mean
yeah you can't give me like eight
projects that you're working on and you
know say how do I do all of them at the
same time it's going to be choosing one
project executing that completing it so
that that is a lot more about it okay so
let's see another question about the
course in January here I will send you
the link
and you can sign up for the email list
are you on the email list already and
that'll give you a lot of information it
basically teaches you all about starting
an Amazon affiliate site right so yeah
that is one of the cool things in the
pilot course I will being able to have a
look at people's individual projects you
know whatever your your main focus is
gonna be in working through the material
and the reason why right the reason why
I'm saying you have to pick something to
work on you have to pick something to
work on to work to through the material
so you learn the methods of like being
productive in an effective way not being
busy being a little bit less stressed
out like that's the goal like I don't
want to teach a course I don't want to
teach a course that's gonna stress
people out more so the idea is to make
people less stressed out get more like
important things done and Sue let's see
what Shay says you wouldn't mind looking
at projects if they were affiliate
marketing I know you said it's not an
affiliate course right Lachey I see what
you're getting at basically it's very
easy for me to segment like the
productivity piece from the affiliate
part sure there could be some overlap
but if you actually like needed help
seeing the thing is in five-figure niche
site you get a huge amount of access to
me via email support for the
productivity course it's pretty hard to
ask affiliate marketing questions in the
frame of productivity so I see what
you're getting at if it falls apart and
people are tricking me and trying to
take advantage of me then I'll scale it
back okay
Suhail is saying that you're on the list
but there's not info about the course
okay
so I love it that people are so pumped
about the course so here's the thing
since the course isn't for sale right
now I just I'm not talking about it very
much as it gets closer I'll be talking
about it all the time the productivity
course is next week and that's why I'm
talking about that today so the course
in January teaches you how to build an
Amazon affiliate site it's awesome there
are people on this right now that have
taken the course they like it and is
there any chance of getting in before
January no there's zero chance but if
you really need the information right
you can buy other courses from other
people if you like me then you'll
probably want to wait until January but
there's a couple people my competitors
right they teach things differently I
think my ways better I think I use
project management in a way that other
people can't because of a PMP but
basically if you if you say you need it
now then you know it sounds like you're
in a rush I'm probably not the right
person for you you can go to another you
know market or out there and okay so it
looks like all the meaningful questions
are through as far as productivity
anymore
oh the Shae thanks so the Shay puts a
great testimonial here so you pretty
much made your first dollar on Amazon
for my free content and one coaching
session which is cool because Lachey if
I remember right you bought someone
else's course right but my freaking
sense pretty darn good
okay any other productivity questions
out there cool alright and just to recap
since it's a nice compliment from the
shame and I'm just mention it again
so the Shay says I made my first color
on Amazon for my free content in one
coaching session Lachey was enrolled in
some other course one of my competitors
courses so it's a great complement
really appreciate it
aren't cool thanks for hanging on today
and Friday for all the people that we're
asking random unrelated questions Friday
is a day it'll be 10:00 a.m. mountain
time so I will actually schedule it and
you can ask questions in there I'll
answer random questions right so cool
all right I'm out of here everyone have
a great day and we'll talk soon thanks
