Open-ended questions are designed to help us emotionally connect with others.These questions are meant to gain the most information possible about people's values and how they relate to a given task or opportunity.Some of my favorite open-ended questions to ask are: “What are you doing today?”“What do you like (or not like) about it?”Asking these types of open-ended questions and truly listening to the answers allows us to learn about a person’s current mindset and emotions.When we are emotionally connected to those around us, we get what I call “stable data”.This is a set of correct information that enables us and empowers us to make the right decisions regarding our business.Tweet me your takeaway from today’s episode @davidmeltzer Email Me! david@dmeltzer.comSign up for my Free Weekly Training https://free.dmeltzer.com/friday-training-1Text Me!

Many people tend to think that passions come naturally to us, but I believe that the key to finding your passion is simply learning to love what you do. Passion is all about mindset, so practice telling yourself that you “get to” do something, rather than thinking that you “have to” do it. When we change how we look at the world, the things we look at change.Tweet me your takeaway from today’s episode @davidmeltzer Email Me! david@dmeltzer.comSign up for my Free Weekly Training https://free.dmeltzer.com/friday-training-1Text Me!

One of the biggest changes in productivity came for me when I started studying my calendar. This isn’t taking a look at what you have on your schedule, there are three areasto focus on:Study the things you have planned for the day. For the tasks that you regularly plan, look to create efficiencies with your habit machine. For example, I have a 5/20 Rule where I try to schedule five-minute phone calls and keep my in-person meetings to twenty minutes, creating situations where the people that I interact with are ready for our interaction and focused. With a predominance of virtual meetings today, instituting something as minorly different as a 4/19 Rule could allow for more production, creating an extremely effective way to save 4 minutes a day, which results in an extra 3 days of productivity during the year.Study the white space of your calendar. Be critical of how you are scheduling your day. Look at how can you schedule more of those four-minute calls or nineteen-minute meetings. Consider how you can be more accessible to those who might need you. And don’t forget to ensure you schedule time for activities for your own enjoyment.Study your sleep. Sleep is not only is a restorative process, but it enhances your immune system, which is of the utmost importance. You need to build a consistent sleep routine that helps restore not only your physical being but your mental health, as well.
