• WOWOW: Managing Urgencies with Compounded Bodyweight

  by Alexander Becker

  Three things.

  1. Managing urgencies --

     You can have grand visions for remodeling your house or getting in shape, but if there's a fire in the kitchen, you drop everything and put it out. What choice do you have? The problem, of course, is that most organizations are on fire, most of the time.

     [...]

     I guess the trick is to make the long term items even more urgent than today's emergencies. Break them into steps and give them deadlines. Measure your people on what they did today in support of where you need to be next month.

     If you work in an urgent-only culture, the only solution is to make the right things urgent.

  2. The importance of bodyweight training --

     You should include a bodyweight exercise and a lifting exercise for every major pattern you train. Horizontal, vertical, push, pull... the whole deal. The major bodyweight exercises include the push-up, inverted row, pull-up, handstand push-up, squat, split squat (Bulgarian squat) or lunge, and calf raise.

  3. A slight edge... --

     There's an interesting fact about investing a penny, and doubling that investment every day. So -- day one -- you have one cent in the bank. Day two -- two cents. Day three -- four cents. Day four -- eight cents etc. By day 30 -- you'll have over $5 million saved (go ahead -- do the math). The idea is that major change starts with a small investment.

  Make the most out of it.

  Also, to the same tune, what's better than free --

  When there are infinite copies of something, charging for one is almost impossible.

  Kevin Kelly has eight generatives better than free --

  In the digital arena, generative qualities add value to free copies, and therefore are something that can be sold.
