Transcript

Highly productive people are always looking at the long term versus the short term. Now, everyone has to do some things for the short term, you don't brush your teeth every day for a week, the long term isn't gonna matter, all your teeth are gonna fall out, that's going to have a negative impact on your health. If you don't speak to your spouse, or your kids, and you're in the same home with them every day for a week, that's going to cause real damage, presumably, so you always have to do some things for the short term. But the bigger issue is long term productive. People are always looking at the long term, how is what I'm doing going to help me be more productive, not just today, this week, this month, quarterly sales returns, but next year, five years from now, 10 years from now. And yes, even 50 years from now.

So many of the most productive people in the world, whether they're Architects, whether they are comedians, they're still doing their stuff at age 100. You don't get to do that if all you have is short term thinking. That's why productive people, it's not that they were born any more honest than anyone else. It's just when they're looking at the long term, they know if they get caught lying, selling something horrible or terrible. It's going to destroy their long term ability to do business with others, it's going to destroy their reputation, which is going to have an impact on their productivity. In the long run.

That's why they don't mind investing part of every day learning some new skill or going deeper in their craft, even though they can't pay for it or get paid for it. It pays off in the long run. So if you want to be highly productive, they don't have to be some profit predicting what's going to happen 40 years from now, 50 years from now, but you need that Think about what is it you're doing that's going to have an impact on yourself your skill set your body, your health, your brain 50 years from now, and that's why just selling some gimmick doing something cheap, just hopping on to whatever the latest trend is to make a quick buck ultimately isn't what productive people do think of the long term with every important thing you do.
