For example, if you consistently ate healthily throughout the week, celebrate by treating yourself to a small reward or sharing your accomplishment with a friend. This short book is built around the simple premise that you can bring your best self to your significant stewardships through intentional daily reminders. During your work hours, concentrate on high-impact tasks, collaborate with colleagues, and seek opportunities for growth.The author does offer some interesting tips, but mostly they're just regurgitating what they've learned from other sources. I had to relearn the language, which was an interesting experience to be a citizen of the country and be 50% Norwegian but has forgotten the language. Knowing the roots in Latin helps me, but I loved trying to learn another language because it broadens out who you are.

Eric Partaker’s book offers a concept of setting up 3 alarms throughout the day to reinforce the 3 most important aspects that makes up for a fulfilling life: health, wealth, relationships. That is what prompted me to start looking at all these ways in which we can elevate performance but without compromising our health and relationships. Safety is paramount in Patrick’s manufacturing business, so he decided to hold a safety summit with his leaders to initiate some difficult conversations.Once you are aware of where you are going wrong, what triggers that, and how it shows up when you do it, then you have a chance to start correcting it. While some concepts were interesting, I found most of the advice in this book generic and derived from other books, so I don't believe this book offers enough unique value.

And while we love to hate this thing, it serves its purpose to get us out of our beds and seize the day.

Patrick told me that he’s 100% confident that this was a result of his decision to show up more confidently and more strongly as a leader. If I was not even aware, I was going through the day blind, not even knowing how I was losing all the time.
