Hey everyone. This is Stefan from projectlifemastery.com. In this video,
I'm going to show you guys how I plan my day using Evernote. Now, if you're not
familiar with what Evernote is, it's basically a software that you can download
to your computer. You can also download it as a mobile app to your smartphone. It
allows you to create notes and synchronize the notes between your
smartphone and also your computer. It has a lot of cool benefits and features
as well. I'm going to show you guys exactly how I use Evernote, how I plan my day. The
method that I use for planning my day is called RPM, which is a method that was
created by Tony Robbins on how to manage your life and how to manage your time.
It stands for results, purpose, massive action plan. This is something
that was taught in Tony Robbins' Time Your Life program, which I went through many years
ago, one of the best programs out there for managing your time and life.
I'm also going to introduce you guys a little bit to that method, because
that I can walk you guys through exactly how I use Evernote
to plan my day.
All right. Now here's the RPM plan that I created inside Evernote for today, which
is April 28th, 2016. The RPM philosophy, let me share with you a little bit what
it is and how it works. As I mentioned before, RPM stands for results,
purpose, massive action plan. It was something that was developed by Tony
Robbins. RPM is really a way of thinking and it's a process of
conditioning and training your brain to focus on the outcome and result that you're after.
You see, a lot of people, they just have to-do lists and they use that to plan
their day. Being to-do oriented, I believe and what Tony believes, is not a
very effective way of achieving results. A lot of people, they just do a
lot of stuff and they've mistaken activity with achievement. You have
to understand that you're after a specific result or outcome. The to-dos
that you set for yourself
each day, you have to be clear on what you're doing that for. Often times
it's because you're after a certain goal, certain outcome and result.
The R-P-M method is really about first defining and asking yourself, what do you
really want,
what's the outcome or the result that you're after, and getting crystal clear on
that, being as specific as possible. I always start off my day planning it
based on goals, outcomes, and results that I've already set for myself for that
month or that year. I have yearly goals. I share those on my blog. I share
those in my monthly goals reports as well. Those are the goals that I set for
the year. Everything that I do for the year is to help make progress and
achieve those goals that I set for myself. I also set monthly goals as
well,
at different points. I have goals for each area of my life. I have goals for
my emotions. I have goals for my body, my health, my physical
fitness. I have goals for my business, usually multiple goals for my business. I have
goals for my finances. I have goals for my relationships, my social life, as
well as my spiritual life. There's a bit of work that I've already done before
the daily planning. I think it's important to make sure that you have
that, you have goals in each area of your life. Because, again, if you're just doing
stuff each day but you don't know why you're doing it, you don't have specific outcomes
and goals that you're after, then that's not efficient at all. I always make sure
that every day I'm aware of what my goals are. I have my goals written down
and I always review them as part of my morning ritual. When it comes to
planning my day, which is this process inside Evernote, I often do this
more at the end of my morning ritual. If you guys know me, you know there's a
lot of things I do as part of my morning ritual that I teach inside morningritual
mastery.com. The first thing that I start with is what is the result
or outcome that I'm after for that day. Usually, for each day
and each week, there's certain results and outcomes I'm focused on. I don't try to do too much at
once. I usually try to simplify and focus on maybe three, maybe at most four, results or
outcomes for that day. For this day, April 28th, I put in the main result that
I'm focused on now is to easily make progress towards the creation of
Affiliate Marketing Mastery, to complete the course
by July 9th and ensure that its quality is of the highest standard possible. Now,
when you write down what your goal is, what the outcome or result is, it's very clear to
make sure that you write it out as a sentence, you write it out in a way that's compelling,
that's exciting, that's specific, and that really is very clear
and really motivates you.
You can see that my result has a deadline as well, by July 9th.
Really, I'm not going to achieve the goal by today, so that's why I
put to make progress towards the creation of it. Today, I'm just focused
on making progress. Often times, that's what I focus on is just making progress s
towards these main outcomes and goals that I'm after. You can also see by the
languaging, I like to say easily. Just by using certain words like that, I
can totally shift your perception and association of your goals.
Once you're clear on what the goal and the result is, the next piece of RPM is the
purpose. Why do you want the goal? What are the reasons that you have
to achieve it? I only write down three just to make this process fast each
day. I write this out each day, maybe takes me 10 or 15 minutes at most. Just
writing out three, I find ... I try to force myself to come up with
three different ones each day, but I usually have a whole long list because,
as I said, I have the goals for the year and I have all the reasons why. I
just ask myself, why do I want this? What are the reasons that I have to
achieve this result or outcome? I just focus on the three top ones.
The ones I wrote today for this are to help people build their online business
and become financially free, to create a product that I'm proud and passionate
about, and number three, to create a new income stream which will allow me to achieve my
biggest goals for the year. These reasons, you have to make sure that they
are your reasons and not anyone else's reasons. You can't be trying to achieve
results and goals for other people's reasons. You've got to make sure that
they are your own and that these reasons really inspire and motivate you because this is
what's going to give you that juice and light that fire to really get you going
and motivate you. Often when I do this process, the power of it is it associates
emotion to the result and the actions that you're going to be taking.
Often times people just do things without any purpose behind doing it.
Anything that you do in your life that doesn't have an empowering purpose
behind it is a waste to your life of fulfillment. You want to make sure that
everything you do, you have a purpose for doing it. Then what I do is I write out
the massive action plan. I look at the actions as the to-dos, I guess
you can call them. But I also look at it as a could-do list. I
usually list, what are all the things that I could do that could help me achieve this
result. The actions you create are going to be based on the result.
Knowing what my outcome is, that's what's going to help me formulate my actions. I
know now why I'm doing the things that I'm doing, what I'm trying to do it for.
It can also help identify the most important actions, that are the 80-20, that
are going to allow me to achieve that goal and that result that I'm after.
The actions for today are to create key note slides for module two, record videos for
module two, upload current videos to Dropbox for editing, give feedback on existing 99
designs logos, check in with Arnold for video editing, talk to Ashley about
creating PDF summaries. These are the main actions for today. I will mention I
don't get all the actions done that I set in a day, but I always get done the
most important ones. Usually, when I make my list, I bold or highlight the
three most important actions. I try to simplify and just focus on the three
highest leverage ones. For me, you can see I've bolded this one, this
one, and this one. All the other ones, if I don't get them done, that's okay, I can work
on them tomorrow. They're not as important, but as long as I get these
three really important ones done, awesome, then I made significant
progress towards this goal. Also, I usually put my outcomes and results in a
sequence of priority. So this is the number one outcome that I'm focused on today and
so that's why I put it as the first one. Inside Evernote here, if I
want to add more, it's pretty easy. I usually add
more actions throughout the day. Certain things come up, so I'll add them to the list.
Evernote allows you to play with the formatting and create bullets and checkboxes
and highlight stuff. Evernote's really great for that as well.
Another great benefit of Evernote is you can put in videos and images. I
use it for many different purposes, like coaching people, when I'm being
coached with my coach, taking notes, going to seminars. It syncs with my phone, the app on my phone.
I use it for a lot of different purposes besides planning my
day. There's a lot of cool features for it as well.
Next result, to create more physical vitality and energy while making massive
progress towards my goal of completing Tough Mudder on June 18th. This
is one of the goals that I have for the year, to compete in Tough Mudder. Then, also, I
always focus on energy and vitality first because I don't want to just
compete in Tough Mudder, or I don't just want to have a six-pack, I
want to make sure that health and energy and vitality is all part of that.
I'm not after just ... There's certain things that I could do to
increase my endurance or lose fat or look good, but they're not going to be
aligned with health, energy, and vitality. I always make sure that my result is that
specific and includes other elements of it as well.
The purpose that I have is to have unstoppable energy and vibrancy, to increase
my stamina and endurance, to look and feel good. Actions, run for 40 minutes on
an empty stomach as part of my morning ritual, which I have already done this morning,
leg workout from Limitless Camp, drink at least one green smoothie, drink
lemon-lime water throughout the day, go to bed on an empty stomach, take health
supplements. You can see, I bold the ones, the three most important, highest
leverage ones. Now, to speed up this process for tomorrow, this is
likely an outcome and a massive action plan,
or RPM plan, that I'm going to repeat for tomorrow, so I can easily copy this and move it
forward to tomorrow as well so I don't have to write it out. I'll still
write out the purpose. I'll still read out the result because
I always like to condition to make sure I'm focused on it. And also remind myself of
the actions. Certain results and actions you're going to have, they're just going to be
repetitive every day, so you just want to copy and move some of those things forward.
Another result that I have is to feel a deeper sense of gratitude, joy, happiness,
and fulfillment throughout the day.
A result or an outcome can be something as simple as that. That's
aligned with my emotional goals that I have, to experience deeper emotions. The
purpose that I have is because quality of life is emotions, that's the
most important thing. It doesn't matter what you achieve, what you get,
it's all about how you feel. The only reason why we go after things is because we
believe it's going to make us feel a certain way. I always make sure I have
a result or outcome for my emotional well-being because health and emotions
are most important things in life. That's the foundation to everything. I
I explained that more in detail in my video blog on how to achieve more balance in your
life. I always make sure I'm making progress and at least maintaining my
emotional well-being and my physical well-being. I'm not deluding myself. I
know that any financial goal, any external goal, that's not going to create
any happiness. I understand I have to focus on that every day if I want to
have an extraordinary life. Another purpose, another reason, is to condition my
mind and emotions to feel the way that I want because you have to condition yourself
to feel the way you want. Also, another reason is because your emotions
affect everything in your life. If you're feeling sad and depressed and
angry or frustrated, that's going to affect your business. That's going to affect your
relationships. That's going to affect your health. It's going to affect everything. At the same way, if you're happy,
if you're excited, if you're grateful and passionate, if I'm fulfilled, that will affect everything
too. It will come across in my videos. It will come across in my body and my health. It will make me more
motivated. It will make me more productive. I'll have better relationships and friendships. Everything
improves. That's another reason why I focus on it.
Actions, spend at least 60 minutes on my morning ritual, five minutes of gratitude as well.
I usually do this in the gym in the morning when I'm going for my walk and my
run. Share the magic moments of the day with my girlfriend, journal the magic
moments of the day as well. Again,
usually I'll add more things as they come up as well and add them on to the list. Next
result is to easily make progress growing Project Life Mastery, reaching
thousands of more people around the world to positively impact their quality
of life, while achieving my goal of generating $2 million in revenue. Again,
this is related to the overall goals, the higher picture goals that I have
for the year.
Purpose is this is what my life is about, this is what I'm made for, this is my
destiny in life,
reminding myself of that. To contribute and serve millions of people and to
leverage my time creating more freedom and allowing me to focus on what I love.
Again, I always try to think of three different things each day. It can be
the littlest things. Your reasons why can just be to have fun,
to do what I love, to be able to travel the world, to be able to contribute to
charities and make a difference, to be able to inspire other people in the
process. Sometimes they can be reasons like, so I never have to be broke
again, so I no longer have to struggle, so I can prove other people wrong and show them
what's possible, what I'm made of, to prove to myself what I'm capable of.
Whatever is going to motivate you. I remember, I had goals or reasons before,
when I was younger
doing this stuff, is like, so that I could attract this woman in my life or so
that that girl who rejected me last week, she'll see me in a
year from now and she'll wish that she could have me, or something like that.
Whatever motivates you, that's the purpose of it. It doesn't matter how
ridiculous it is. Whatever produces emotion and drive within you and gets you
to take action.
What are the actions? Record video for Project Life Mastery giveaway,
record video for my 30th birthday Change Heroes campaign, record update video for
Affiliate Marketing Mastery series, give feedback to Charles on new PLM images.
Usually it's stuff ... I work with my team now, I try to work on my business not in my
business as much. I always create content, that's the one thing, as I'm doing right
now, that I can never outsource. I'm always doing that, every single day, for the most
part. I love it. That's one of the highest leverage things I can do. But usually, stuff I do in my
business now is like ... I've got a team, I've got tons of people that work with me now,
I'm more working with them and eventually, really I need to get to a point where I
have a COO or some sort of operations manager that can just run and manage the
teams so that I can just focus on the one thing that I'm really the good and the
best at. I'm not quite there yet. That'll will probably happen over the next year or two though. Anyways, here are
all the actions. Again, I bold the highest leverage. I always make sure like
emails and stuff, I always do that every day because there are some
important emails, but that's always the lowest priority thing just because
emails can easily distract me and they get you in a sense of reaction. The whole
purpose of this RPM plan is to be proactive, is actually
consciously designing your day and designing your life.
A lot of people, it's like they just do things out of reaction because other
people need them to do this and that and their boss and their spouse or
boyfriend or girlfriend or whatever it is. It's like there are all these demands that
they have and so they don't take time to design their day, design
their life, and take the necessary actions. That's the purpose of planning your day like
this. Being proactive, not reactive. Incorporate this as part of your morning
ritual and this will allow you to actually achieve the results and goals
that you're after. Like I said, I don't get everything done and that's okay. You're
not after the to-dos, you're after the result. At the end of the day, as long as I
made progress towards these four primary outcomes, these four primary results,
then that was an amazing, successful day. That's all I focus on is making
progress, not trying to be perfect. There's unlimited things for me
to do. I'm sure you're the same. Everyone's busy.
Usually, throughout the day, I'll have more and more things that are added
to the list. I'll have, in some cases, I've had like 100 plus actions that need to
be done. I just know that there's no humanly possible way I'm going to get that all
done in a day. I just try to simplify, what are the three most
important things, make progress in each area each day. As long as you do that, you
will achieve the goals and the results that you're after. Hopefully
this process is useful for you. Hopefully this transparency in how I plan my day, you
can model it if you choose. If you want to know more about RPM, check out Tony
Robbins. He's the ultimate resource for it because he's the one that created the
RPM method. Great for that. If you guys want to check out Evernote, I think it's
just evernote.com or there's also the app on your phone, you
can just search in the app store, find Evernote.
It's free. They do have paid plans as well if you want more storage and a few other features
as well, but the free plan is more than enough and is very useful. I like to
have everything on my computer and phone because I can easily recall it if I need to.
I used to use journals, and I still do in some regards, but I find it's just easier
now with technology to sync everything amongst devices. I can search,
for example, like certain words and it will pull it up in my Evernote
in different notes that I might have had. Also for recording seminars and notes
from books and ideas and concepts and ... all very useful to have it all in one place.
All right, so that's how I use Evernote to plan my day with the RPM method. Hopefully you
