How can you expose yourself to new ideas?Ģ. To develop more innovation, ask yourself these two questions:ġ. Innovation brokers take a well-established idea from one setting and drop it in a new setting, or they take two well-established ideas and they combine them in a new way. Most innovation comes from the product of people who are known as innovation brokers. We think of creativity as the artist waiting for a brainstorm, somebody who has this completely original idea, but Charles says that that’s not where most innovation comes from. The most innovative people are not the most creative people What keystone habits are you interested in applying in your life?ģ. You might now say, “I exercise, therefore, I should eat healthy because I’m trying to maintain good health.” Why is that? It’s because of how these habits cause you to see yourself. When that habit emerges, it changes other habits almost automatically. If you develop a habit of exercising, it can cause of chain reactions of other habits-healthy eating, less procrastination, lesser spending. In the interview, Charles describes that when some habits start to change, it sets off a chain reaction that changes other habits as well. And when you do that one most important thing, the thing that’s going to make the biggest difference, give yourself a reward.Ģ. But all that’s going to happen is that you’re going to get more emails.Ĭharles recommends choosing the one most important thing you need to do during a day, which is usually the hardest thing. Replying to emails is almost always a waste of time, even if it makes you feel good, even if it makes you feel you’ve gotten something done. But the problem is that there’s nothing more wasteful than optimizing what never should have been done in the first place. We find that the easiest thing to do so we can cross it off. We want to come up with a to-do list, and then we wake up and do what’s at the top of the to-do list. Highly productive individuals are not jamming more into their day, they’re making better choices about what they’re doing. Think more deeply and become more productiveĬontrary to popular belief, people who get more done aren’t working harder. *As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.
