Indistractable Book - P.I.T.E.D?
YOUR TIME IS THE MOST PRECIOUS RESOURCE!
P. PACKS: To prevent distractions with PACKS.
~ Identity Pact: a precommitment to the identity that aligns with who you want to be and what you want to do. “Doing this thing does not align with who I want to be”
~ Price Pact: involves putting money on the line to encourage us to do what we say we will.
~ Effort Pact: if there is a negative behaviour or routine you want to limit in your life, you just need to make it a little more difficult to do or add small consequences to the behaviour.
PRACTICAL: Implement these
I. Combat INTERNAL Triggers:
~ Step 1: Look for the Discomfort That Precedes the Distraction, Focusing In on the Internal Trigger
~ Step 2: Write Down the Trigger, and note how you felt when noticing it.
T. TRACTION: Make time for getting where you want, schedule time for important tasks via TimeBoxing, and sync your calendar with people.
~ TimeBoxing: In agile principles, timeboxing allocates a fixed and maximum unit of time to an activity, called a timebox, within which planned activity takes place. It is used by agile principles-based project management approaches and for personal time management.
E. EXTERNAL Triggers: To hack back external triggers, make your environment as empty as possible from distractions, put your phone on silent, hide your distractions and make it as difficult as possible to use them. Make it as hard for something in your environment to distract you.
~ Practical: Disable as many app notifications on your phone as possible. Try to disable the notifications first, if you really needed the notification then turn the specific notifications back on. The idea is to disable as many things as possible.
D. DISSATISFACTION: Once you have the ability to see tasks to the end after having committed to them, nothing in life can derail you from your path. This is why indistractability is important, it disciplines you to deal with the harsh realities of life.
Practical: Push through being uncomfortable and get the job done.

DISC Personality - D.I.S.C?
D: DOMINANCE — This style is both bold and sceptical. They typically dive into challenges produced by their environment and place a high priority on “winning.” They tend to be more receptive to logic, data and analysis than they are to somebody else’s “gut-level feel” or intuition. They pursue challenges in a dynamic, assertive and self-assured manner. They can also become easily irritated with opposing points of view which elicits a response that can be categorized as indifference, intolerance or hostility.
I. INFLUENCE — This style is both bold and accepting. They are “people-oriented” and are motivated by their connections with others. They tend to welcome others in a warm and inviting manner that encourages collaboration and generates excitement. They pursue environmental challenges in an outgoing, enthusiastic and optimistic manner. They are also prone to “keep people happy” and as a result may be reluctant to provide others with constructive feedback or pay adequate attention to follow-through or attention to detail.
S: STEADINESS — This style is both cautious and accepting. They are highly motivated to help others and maintain the stability of their environment. They excel at cooperation and are routinely described as “calm” or “patient.” They respond to the challenges of their environment in a thoughtful and comparatively methodical manner routinely providing others with empathy and support. They have a tendency to struggle with change that disrupts their routine and can be shocked, stunned or temporarily dazed by its emergence.
C: CONSCIENTIOUSNESS — This style is both cautious and sceptical. They can best be described as “detail-oriented” and have a strong preference for an environment defined by its stability. They enjoy opportunities to demonstrate their expertise and share the quality of their work. They are driven by logic and objective analysis. As such, they will typically respond to disruptions in their routine by openly questioning the feasibility and viability of the proposed path forward. They have a tendency to “overanalyze” but when they reach a level of comfort, they can serve as a calming source of objective support.

How people learn: I - C.A.S.H.E.D
“Good design is the foundation of great teaching.”
C: Chunking: A Chunking activity involves breaking down a difficult text into more manageable pieces and having students rewrite these “chunks” in their own words. You can use this strategy with challenging texts of any length.
A: Action-oriented: Design your lessons to be action-oriented. Create opportunities for learners to apply new knowledge and practice new skills. They’ll retain much more that way. For example, if you’re teaching a course on nutrition, rather than simply telling students that a balanced daily diet should comprise roughly 2,000 calories, ask them to create a meal plan that hits that caloric target.
S: Shelving: As a teacher, your goal is to make sure your information lands on an information shelf. Ideally, the same piece of information would land on multiple shelves, so it’s even more accessible. How do we make sure the information goes where we want it? This comes back to knowing your students. Leverage and work with the shelves they already have. Keep targeting the same shelf, “Let’s focus on your knowledge of money”
H: Habits: When we implement a skill, we’re sometimes using our conscious mind and sometimes acting automatically – and the difference between good and great performance can come down to how well those habitual actions are performed. Create new habits by identifying a trigger – for example, performing a version control every time you save a file. Bundling the good habit – version control – with an existing trigger – clicking save – will help the habit become automatic by pairing a new habit with an existing habit. Additionally, using the iHabit or HabitNow App will drastically help you create new habits and keep you accountable.
E: Environment: There’s no reason learners need to store all the information they need in their heads when you can encode it into the environment instead. If your learners are getting overloaded with new information and concepts, take a step back and ask yourself if some of this info can be offloaded into the environment, whether through signs, visual reminders, online resources, or even a workplace manual.
D: Desirable Difficulty: Design with desirable difficulty in mind. Psychologist Robert A. Bjork has shown that students learn better and form stronger connections with learning material when they’re working at the very edge of their ability. Setting challenging tasks will keep your learners motivated. Remember to adjust the difficulty as your course progresses and your learners’ competence grows. If the students can be right about 85% of the time, that is ideal.
Good Arguments: R.C.C.P.M
How to have good arguments:
R: Rhetoric: Be a Rhetoric, this includes everything from the words and structure of your speech to the tone of your voice to the body language you use to express yourself. All of these affect how people perceive you.
C: Clarity is key. Clarity means avoiding using abstract words and stopping the use of confusing metaphors. Be specific; use concrete examples to explain your points.
Abstract Nouns: Love, fear, anger, joy, excitement, and other emotions are abstract nouns. Courage, bravery, cowardice, and other such states are abstract nouns. Desire, creativity, uncertainty, and other innate feelings are abstract nouns. These are just a few examples of non-concrete words that are sensed
C: Cut: Cut the excess. Delete anything from your speech that doesn’t contribute to the arguments you’re making. Stick to the point. Don’t ramble. Avoid unnecessary repetition and excessive qualification. Short introductions.
P: Personal: Make it personal by striking an emotional chord, they’ll be more engaged and more sympathetic. So speak to the listener’s needs and experiences directly. Sprinkle in stories from your own life. And relate your arguments to what the argument is.
M: Manner: The manner of your speech will make you appear far more persuasive if you can speak fluidly without stopping and starting. Competitive debaters do speaking drills to improve their flow and weed out distracting quirks in their speech.
Activities:
1. Random Word Exercise: Pick a random word from the dictionary then build an introduction, start talking and using this word to make a compelling powerful speech.
2. Forced silence drills: Get recorded by giving a presentation, and at the second part of the recording take random silences.
3. Endless Gaze: Use an endless gaze to look into the eyes of your audience to make your statements more powerful.

Instructions to Mastery.
• Talk to yourself instead of listening to yourself.
“If I listen to myself I hear all the negative thoughts, all the complaints, all the fears, all the doubts, and all the reasons why I shouldn’t be able to finish the race. But if I talk to myself I can feed myself with the words and encouragement I need to finish the race.’ He told me he would memorize and quote scripture, and this kept him going and fueled him toward the finish line.”
Dr. James Gills, who completed six double Ironman triathlons (The only man in the world to have done so)
• Ask the question, “What is one thing I can do to make the situation
better?” rather than, “why is this happening to me?” Build a solution mindset.
• Live by principles rather than feelings.
Principles meaning - a fundamental truth or proposition that serves as the foundation for a system of belief or behaviour or for a chain of reasoning.
