    Jul 19 2024
    In this video, we dive deep into the concept of friction and how it can be used strategically to build good habits and break bad ones. Discover the science behind why tweaking your environment is often more effective than relying solely on willpower. Learn practical steps to add or remove friction in your daily life to make healthier choices, boost productivity, and create lasting positive changes. Tune in for compelling insights from experts like Wendy Wood and James Clear, and get actionable tips to start transforming your habits today! ➡️ Subscribe to my newsletter for updates on our new planning system for creators: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://subscribe.pauldittus.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Sometimes we need to make things harder so it's easier to do the better thing. Show Notes: Episode Overview: In this episode, we explore the concept of friction and how we can use it to our advantage. By adding friction to bad habits and reducing friction for good habits, we can set ourselves up for success without depending solely on willpower. We take a look at expert insights from Wendy Wood, James Clear, and Oswald Nuckols, providing practical steps to make small tweaks that lead to big results. 5 Key Lessons: 1. The Power of Environment: - Wendy Wood highlights that a significant portion of our daily actions are on autopilot. By tweaking our environment, we can make substantial changes to our habits. 2. Three Ways to Break a Habit: - James Clear identifies three strategies: elimination, reduction, and substitution. These approaches help in either cutting out, minimizing, or replacing bad habits with better ones. 3. Four Laws of Behavior Change: - To build good habits, make them obvious, attractive, easy, and satisfying. Conversely, to break bad habits, make them invisible, unattractive, difficult, and unsatisfying. 4. Resetting the Room: - Inspired by Oswald Nuckols, this strategy involves setting up your space for success by organizing and preparing for the next task in advance. 5. Strategic Friction for Productivity: - Small changes like leaving your phone in another room, setting up your workspace the night before, and limiting your productivity tools can significantly boost focus and efficiency. 📚 Resources How To Make Your Future Habits Easy | James Clear ARTICLE: https://jamesclear.com/reset-the-room Use Friction To Make Or Break Habits by Yvonne Milosevic ARTICLE: https://theblacklight.co/2020/01/16/use-friction-make-break-habits/ How To Break Bad Habits YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kA3tSmr6_Ug ➡️ Subscribe to my newsletter for updates on our new planning system for creators: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://subscribe.pauldittus.com⁠⁠⁠⁠ 📚 Get My List of Top 12 Books of The Year: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://pauldittus.ck.page/booklist⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ✅ Follow The Beautiful Mess Subscribe on YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCz28aStbk-5Apxqyj_WWYqw⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://instagram.com/tbmshow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Twitter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/StartMessy⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://facebook.com/TheBeautifulMessShow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠➡️ You can also follow me here: YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://youtube.com/pauldittus⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ IG: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/pauldittus/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Twitter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/pauldittus⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://pauldittus.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ This is episode 89 of The Beautiful Mess Show podcast.

  • Minimum Viable Information: You Don't Need To Know It All
    Jul 11 2024

    Today, we're diving into the concept of Minimum Viable Information (MVI). This idea, from Corey Wilks Psy.D., is a game-changer for anyone who tends to overanalyze and over-research before taking action.


    ➡️ Subscribe to my newsletter for updates on our new planning system for creators: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://subscribe.pauldittus.com⁠⁠⁠⁠🚀 Key Takeaways: - Learn what minimum viable information is and how it can help you get started on your projects quickly. - Discover the importance of taking action and learning through doing, rather than just gathering more information. - Practical examples on how to apply this concept in various fields: starting a YouTube channel, becoming a musician, getting into fitness, and more. - Inspirational insights on overcoming fear, uncertainty, and the plethora of options that might be holding you back. 💪 Don't let fear or overthinking paralyze you! Ask yourself what the minimum information you need is, and then just start. You'll learn so much more by actually doing the thing. 5 Key Lessons: 1. Start Small: Identify the minimum amount of information needed to get started on a project and take that first step. 2. Focus on Value: Prioritize creating valuable content over having the perfect setup. 3. Embrace Mistakes: Learn from doing and making mistakes rather than over-researching. 4. Vision Beyond Barriers: Envision your ideal scenario if common barriers like time, money, and fear were not an issue. 5. Consistent Effort: Approach your goals like a mountain hike – the effort and persistence make the success more rewarding. 🔍 Episode Breakdown: 0:00 What is Minimum Viable Information 2:36 - The Paradox of Too Many Options 3:01 - Overcoming Fear and Envisioning Success 7:23 - Imposter Syndrome and the Reserve Clause 9:15 - The Mountain Analogy: Putting in the Work 🎸 Whether you're looking to start a creative project, get into better shape, or pursue a new hobby, this episode has something for everyone. 👍 Rate, review, and subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts.

  • How To Name And Organize Your Files
    Jul 4 2024
    Are your files all over the place? Do you want a simple method to organize your files? We'll dive into Tiago Forte's simple PARA Method. Do you struggle with naming your files? In this video, I will give you a guide to naming your files so you don’t have to worry about it. In episode 087 of the TBM Show, Paul Dittus delves into the art of file naming and organization, transforming your digital clutter into a streamlined, efficient system. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by files scattered across your desktop or buried in your downloads folder, this episode is your roadmap to a more organized digital life. Paul offers actionable tips and tested methods for structuring both your files and folders, utilizing best practices for naming conventions and modifying structures to suit your specific needs. Tune in to learn how a little organization can make a world of difference in your daily productivity. Episode Overview: - Introduction to the importance of file organization - Best practices for naming files and using dates versus keywords - Guidelines for structuring folders from general to specific - How to use modifiers and special characters to maintain order - Exploring Tiago Forte's PARA method for organizing tasks and files - Practical examples and templates for business, YouTube, and podcast file management 5 Key Lessons: 1. Effective File Naming Conventions: Learn the importance of using the international standard date format (year-month-date) and clear, concise keywords to ensure your files are easy to identify and search. 2. Folder Structure Best Practices: Organize your folders in a hierarchy from general to specific. Start with broad categories like the year or project name, and narrow down as needed (e.g., raw photos, exports). 3. Using Modifiers Wisely: Incorporate modifiers like version numbers (e.g., V01), intended audience names, or creator initials to differentiate files while maintaining their order. 4. Avoiding Special Characters: Stick to underscores, dashes, or hyphens to avoid compatibility issues across different operating systems and to make future migrations smoother. 5. Utilizing the PARA Method: Adopt Tiago Forte’s PARA method (Projects, Areas, Resources, Archive) to keep your files and tasks organized from most actionable to least actionable. Customize this framework to best fit your needs. ➡️ Resources Mentioned In YouTube Description: https://youtu.be/s8-wJ1RxWmY ➡️ Subscribe to my newsletter for updates on our new planning system for creators: ⁠⁠⁠https://subscribe.pauldittus.com⁠⁠ 📚 Get My List of Top 12 Books of The Year: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://pauldittus.ck.page/booklist⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ✅ Follow The Beautiful Mess Subscribe on YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCz28aStbk-5Apxqyj_WWYqw⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://instagram.com/tbmshow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Twitter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/StartMessy⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://facebook.com/TheBeautifulMessShow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ➡️ You can also follow me here: YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://youtube.com/pauldittus⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ IG: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/pauldittus/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Twitter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/pauldittus⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://pauldittus.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ This is episode 87 of The Beautiful Mess Show podcast.
