Process Process

I operate on the basis of a proprietary Knowledge/Dictionary/Process, designed with me in mind. I am constantly questioning, modifying and improving it. It probably will not work for you, but you will certainly find plenty of inspiration and resources to help you build your own.

Everyone is constantly telling you what is good for you. They don't want you to look for your own answers. They want you to believe in theirs. ~ Knowledge/People/Dan Millman

Context

It is widely accepted that setting a Knowledge/Dictionary/Goals is essential to achieving results. Others say it's better to work on a process Knowledge/Dictionary/Process basis.

I myself act on the basis of the Knowledge/Dictionary/Goal AND Knowledge/Dictionary/Process (a concept Knowledge/Mental models/Genius of The AND from Knowledge/People/Jim Collins).

In practice, I find it difficult to determine the future for more than a week ahead. It's not uncommon for me to have no idea what I'll be doing the next day. At the same time, I have a general outline of where I am going.

Goals

A well-defined goal Knowledge/Dictionary/Goal determines the end result and a deadline ([SMART](https://www.mindtools.com/pages/article/smart-goals.htm)). Combined with the visualization of a realized goal, we form the right attitudes (e.g., enthusiasm -> Foundations/Values).

For a large target, simply divide it into smaller ones to reduce "resistance" (Knowledge/Books/War of Art). The realization of smaller goals imparts Momentum through, among other things, the use of dopamine, about which more is said by Knowledge/People/Andrew Huberman#Motywacja Drive

In practice, the goals have drawbacks:

Among other reasons, I use targets on a case-by-case basis. Previously, I used a OKR system. Today I mainly operate on the basis of Knowledge/Dictionary/Process and Knowledge/Dictionary/Direction.

Direction vs. Goal

Process

I operate on the basis of a continuously optimized Knowledge/Dictionary/Process that takes into account:

Discipline equals Freedom ~ Knowledge/People/Jocko Willink

In designing my process, I rely on:

My Knowledge/Dictionary/Process

The foundation

The foundation for me is health (physical and mental) and sleep.

Getting to know myself

Getting to know myself is the most important part of my process after the foundations.

Surroundings

I believe that it is impossible to change fundamentally, while our beliefs and habits can change. The biggest influence is not our immediate environmentKnowledge/Dictionary/Surrounding and active (Knowledge/Books/Atomic Habits)

  • Nearest Knowledge/Dictionary/Surrounding - I pay attention to who I spend the most time with.
  • Proactivity - I actively maintain contact with selected individuals.
  • Discovery - I intentionally reach out to people I feel I want to have contact with.
  • Limitation - I eliminate meeting and being among people who take away my energy (or I take away theirs). Restrictions also improve the process Knowledge/Thoughts/Podejmowanie decyzji

Surround yourself with people who have achieved what you want to achieve and have something in common with them.

Working style

I often receive questions "How do you embrace it all?". There is no secret to this and it consists of three things:

In other words, I do everything to make the best use of my time. For this it is necessary to build a strong Foundations/Process#Fundamenty As well as space to rest effectively. One of the most important suggestions I received on this topic was as follows: "Adam, if you work hard, you must also rest to the max". I completely agree with this.

Development

Realizing and developing my Knowledge/Dictionary/Process is a priority for me. I base it almost 100% on English-language sources.

Knowledge acquisition system

This is my way of quickly learning new skills and staying current in my circle of skills and knowledge (Knowledge/Mental models/Circle of Competence).

Knowledge/Mental models/Leverage

Give me a point of support and I will move the earth. ~ Archimedes

The concept of leverage (Knowledge/Mental models/Leverage) is one of the most important I know. Thanks to her, once done the work gives me results for years.

  • My time is not for sale (Knowledge/Books/Principles) - Since Q2 2020, I have made the decision not to sell my time. For example, I have almost completely reduced consulting and assignments for clients in favor of developing my own products. I only do this in situations where it either makes me happy or gives me benefits beyond financial.
  • I take actions that take advantage of scale and help others for a long time.
  • When taking action, I ask myself "How to make 100 out of my one hour?" Knowledge/Mental models/Leverage
  • Optimization/Optimization - I pay attention to small details. I eliminate them or optimize them (e.g., by simplifying) to the limit (or reasonable).
  • Optimization/Automation/Automation - I automate many areas of my activity. I have an army of robots that work for me day and night.

The most interesting and important form of leverage is the idea of a product with minimal replication cost. ~ Knowledge/People/Naval Ravikant

Finance

I base my income almost entirely on asymmetrical sources of income: subscriptions, commissions, shares and investments.

Combining this with optimizing my Foundations/Process with each passing day, the value I generate and my earnings increase disproportionately to my time commitment.
