If you receive emails in CC, do this


When I assess how most professionals and entrepreneurs manage their time, I see the same mistake on repeat.

They treat every task as equally important and/or equally urgent.

So, they get bogged down with massive to-do lists, where responding to administrative emails assumes the same importance as servicing top clients.

Stress is high.

Burn-out massive.

Effectiveness low.

Results inexistent.

Your tasks shouldn’t all carry equal weight.

And some of the tasks on your list may not deserve any of your time at all.

I know that it’s hard, but… that’s life.

There is a 2x2 Decision Framework.

It’s a practical way to keep your sanity intact so you can focus on your most important work.

This framework forces every task on your list into one of four categories:

1. Do Now: High urgency, high importance
​2. Schedule: Low urgency, high importance
​3. Delegate: High urgency, low importance
​4. Delete: Low urgency, low importance

​I see many people gamifying tasks, feeling good about writing down another tick, done. But then, they get frustrated because they don’t see results.

Your time and energy are your most precious assets.

Wasting your time ticking boxes for a momentary reward of dopamine is not going to bring you closer to your objectives.

Sticking to what’s important is.

It’s hard. It works.

You’ll thank me for that.

So, next time that you have your inbox full of messages where you are CC… think of which quadrant that task is… Then, press DELETE.

Yesterday, a student told me:“ You’re selling this for peanuts.” He’s right. I know it. But when something is working… when things are flowing… You don’t touch it. At least, that’s what they say. But here’s the problem: Underpricing is not generosity. It’s positioning. And I’m done positioning this as cheap. So yes…I’m breaking the rule. I’m increasing the price of everything in the academy. All of it. Today, you can still get in at the current price. Tomorrow? You’ll pay double. For example,...

It was under control. Of course it was. April 15, 2019. Semana Santa, aka, Easter… again. The most iconic cathedral in Europe. Notre-Dame Cathedral Under renovation. Experts on site. Protocols in place. And then… Fire. Not a small one. Not, it was not a “candela”… but a catastrophic one. The roof gone. The spire collapsing in front of the world. Millions watching it live… with popcorns. Oups… This was not an abandoned building. This was not chaos. This was a controlled environment. Or at...

They opened it. And it collapsed. Just like that. March 2018. Florida. Around these “Easter” days. A brand-new pedestrian bridge at Florida International University pedestrian bridge. Award-winning design. Fast-track construction. Public praise. And six people dead. Just like that… Cracks had already appeared. Not hidden. Not subtle. Visible. I repeat… f**** visible. Engineers saw them. Discussed them. And decided there was no safety issue. Hours later… it collapsed. Let me translate this...
