Ted's Take-Aways

1. Productivity is about removing not adding— If you are one of those people who keep adding things into your life to make you more productive; the reminder, the tracking devices and the constant "pings" from your notification —you are missing the point. Optimizing your life is supposed to simplify things. After a while, these gadgets become a distraction and you end up spending most of your time focusing on the gadgets and the preparatory steps but then you never take action. Try simplifying things to improve your productivity.

2. You have to be fully committed to whatever you are doing —This is the biggest takeaway. If you are not fully committed to what you are doing, it will not work. Getting results take commitment. Find what motivates you and it will become easier to stay committed.

3. Get a coach — If you believe you need help with staying motivated or you can't figure out what goals you need to prioritize, or if you have fitness goals that you're trying to achieve but you're having little or no results, it's time to get a coach. Having a coach will help you get over those obstacles that often causes you to stumble and give up on your goal.
