Today’s episode is chock full of tips/rules you can apply to help you achieve what they call “higher emotional intelligence”. Want to accomplish your career goals? Focus on 5 instead of 25. Having a hard time getting started on a big project? Make a deal with yourself that you will only work on it for 5 minutes. If after 5 minutes you really want to quit working on it you can, but in the meantime you have “tricked” your brain from thinking something was huge and overwhelming to making it a small and manageable task.
Before you respond to an email or speak up in a meeting, ask yourself the following questions:
Does this need to be said?
Does this need to be said by me?
Does this need to be said by me, now?
How will I feel about this in:
a day?
a week?
a month?
a year?
Plenty more good tips shared throughout the episode.
