1. To Get The Energy, Do The Work
Number one: to get the energy, do the work.
What does that mean?
It means that what most people do, what ordinary entrepreneurs do is they wait until they feel inspired and have energy before they attack a to-do list or focus on execution around the most important projects.

Is that not right? Most people wait until they have the energy.
What do remarkable entrepreneurs and the most creative people do? They do the work to get the energy. Every single time you complete a project on your to-do list or something that you had resisted that was important to do, literally you have a corresponding release of what I call completion energy.

Start doing this right away. Your to-do list things, all the messes, all those most important things that you haven't been doing, one at a time start completing them. You'll start finding that there is corresponding release of energy every single time you achieve something on your to do list.
Eventually you get to a place where there's so much energy, you almost feel unstoppable. To get the energy do the work.

2. Work In 90 Minutes Cycles and Recover
Start today with the mindset where you work for 90 minutes and then you get up and you take a break. I work in 90 minutes cycles, and then get up and take a break. After 90 minutes get up and go for a walk, or have a glass of water. After 90 minutes get up and move or go for a workout.
The whole idea that sitting behind a desk for 10 hours straight, will make you more productive is nonsense. This is the study of energetic cycles which is a science. Yet most ordinary entrepreneurs have fallen into the seduction of; the harder I work in a linear way the more productive I will be.
This is the same way you build a muscle. You stretch it and stress it. All stress on the muscle tears the muscle, which causes it to grow. Stress is your friend. Stress will allow you to push past barriers, which expands a capability. The stress expands our capability. Your enemy is not recovering from stress. When working hard, most entrepreneurs push too hard and don't take time to recover, and then they start depleting their capability.
3. Recovery Is The Secret To World-Class Performance: The Sprinter Model
To double your productivity, remember the sprinter model. A sprinter has a burst of performance and then recovers.
So work 90 minutes then take a break to recover and then take another 90 minute work cycle.
Add onto this affect by working for three weeks, and then take a week off. Work expands to fit the time available. If you only have three weeks to work in a month and you have a deadline you'll get it done in three weeks.

It seems unattainable but what would your life look like if you took that week off and came back energized. Think about the quality of your ideas and how much return on investment you can make. What could one of those ideas possibly make you?
I learned from warren Buffett to always measure the value vs. the cost. That's one thing billionaires do, it's all about the value. They'll spend the money if they get the value. To have what the 1% have, you've got to be willing to do what 99% will not.
