Processes, the key to productivity and consistency in excellence. They’re all about recapping what you just did, step-by-step, and determining what worked and what didn’t.
This allows you to habitually succeed and not have to re-learn the process for a task. In the instances where you’re unable to develop a process, or at least break it down, that’s where your hunch will usually cover your ass.
Try to develop a process for almost everything you do. Writing business plans, paying bills, working out, generating ideas. You can still keep things fresh by being creative, but using a process or pattern that you can call on will allow you to be in “the zone� throughout the day and make sense of your actions.
You don’t want to create a process of using the same ideas over and over, just a method in which you can recreate the steps that allowed you to get to those ideas. Apply a process to the large and small things you do throughout the day and you’ll be richer, healthier, and smarter.*
