1. BOOST PERSONAL PRODUCTIVITY BY ASKING
FIVE QUESTIONS
How would you rate your personal organization, efficiency and
effectiveness? You can be quite efficient, yet woefully inadequate
in the effectiveness department. Ask yourself these questions
and watch your office productivity take off.
-
Are you working on what is easy to do, or what
is important to do?
-
Can you get out of your comfort zone on command
to do things you dislike?
-
Do you look at the clock every 15 minutes and
ask yourself, "Am I on-task?"
-
Do you start your day strategically or tactically?
- What are you doing about your biggest mental obstacle to be
more productive?
=========================
2. MENTAL GAME QUOTES
"Habit, if not resisted, becomes necessity."
--St. Augustine
"One's action ought to come out of an achieved stillness...not
to be a mere rushing on."
--D.H. Lawrence
=========================
3. TAKE THIS PEAK PERFORMANCE MIND QUIZ
How's your mental game? How would you compare your mental abilities
to Tiger Woods? Pete Sampras? Are you ready to play to your potential
in your next "event"? Check out your brain power right now.
-
I intentionally prepare before every "event".
-
I visualize success prior to my "competing".
-
I never allow myself to think negatively.
-
I train for all potential problems in advance.
-
I never get flustered when things go wrong.
-
I love to compete.
-
I push myself to maintain high performance
standards.
-
I draw my energy and focus from a calm center.
-
I purposely enter the zone at will.
- I maintain a laser focus to achieve my goals and win.
=========================
4. SIX MILITARY SPECIAL FORCES
MIND STRATEGIES
United States Army Ranger training is one of the toughest special
forces military programs on the planet. Mind skills are as important
as physical and soldering skills. All but the toughest wash out.
About 60% of all applicants fail during indoctrination. This failure
rate is purposefully designed into the initiatives to weed out
all but the very toughest and best people. Attendees who graduate
have the confidence and mental toughness of knowing they passed
through the virtual gates of torture and lived. How many of these
Ranger mind tools do you possess?
- Rangers train to expect the unexpected. Do you love unpredictability
or are you a creature of habit who gets thrown off-balance with
every change of wind?
- Rangers train against enemy capture exploitation and political
indoctrination tactics. Do you have a plan for handling workplace
politics?
- Rangers are the only military unit that mandates physical training
five days a week, 48 weeks a year. Are you making yourself fit
to do battle in the workplace?
- Rangers are trained to believe that there is more than one
way to do almost anything. Are you a flexible and adaptable thinker?
- Rangers must be ready to deploy anywhere in the world on 18-hours
notice. Do you maintain a ready state of mind for any eventuality?
- Rangers are expert at infiltrating by air, sea or air into
any kind of terrain, under any type of condition. Do you consider
yourself well-rounded in your tactics and abilities?
Do you want the mental abilities of a Ranger?
Toughen your mind.
