Description

What does it mean to cultivate laser-sharp focus and achieve concrete results that will make a real difference in your life? Would you like to enhance your productivity and work processes? Are you motivated to work more efficiently, invest your time more intentionally, and accelerate your personal growth and productivity curve? These are all the qualities you can learn to cultivate and master.

Focus and discipline can be difficult to master. Most people want to improve their productivity. But actually doing it? The world is a noisy place with a never-ending barrage of distractions that can make living life in a focused way challenging. Whether you are pursuing a career or personal goal, the principles and disciplines contained in this training will help you to stay focused, sharpen your mind, and pay attention to what matters.

Many people believe that those who are highly focused are the most productive. The statement is both true and false. Yes, working hard will enable you to accomplish your daily tasks more efficiently. However, some people spend decades of their life, working tirelessly, pursuing goals and objectives - only to achieve them and then realise that they’ve wasted years of their life striving for results that weren't what they genuinely wanted.

In The Hyper-Focus, Self-Control and Productivity Masterclass, you’ll learn everything you need to know about defining what your main priorities are, developing razor-sharp hyper-focus and increasing productivity, without having to work longer or harder. Combining cutting-edge time proven applied psychology with practical life experience, this course reveals what distinguishes disciplined champions from unexceptional achievers.

The following are some of the topics you will learn during this course:

Establishing the outcomes you wish to achieve in your life.
Getting rid of non-essentials and 'busyness' from your life.
Setting well-formed outcomes and goals that are focused.
The Kaizen model for ongoing improvement and efficiency.
Frameworks for leadership, business and financial efficiency.
The essential role that mindset plays in personal effectiveness.

Many young people waste the best years of their life pursuing empty goals and advocating useless ideologies, only to grow up disillusioned because they failed to achieve anything of worth. Personal effectiveness can be defined as getting the most from yourself. Productivity is an approach to achieving goals that is enjoyed by those who develop the self-control to concentrate all of their efforts in a direction that is ‘right’ for them.

Each individual has their own set of strengths, talents, insights, passions, frustrations, and priorities, as well as a set of underlying values that shape how they live their lives. People are often preoccupied with the results they hope to achieve in their lives, and therefore never change. Once you have completed this training, you will understand that if you remain focused on transforming yourself, you will achieve whatever results you hope for.

A course like this cannot provide you with the ability to become more productive, nor can it allow you to to pursue sensible goals or develop self-control and discipline. These are choices that you must make for yourself. The aim of this masterclass is simply to positively influence your thinking, so that when you’re ready to focus your efforts on pursuing meaningful objectives or life outcomes, you will be equipped for optimum efficiency.

Self-control is a prerequisite for discipline. This means that you must control all negative qualities. Before you can influence your productivity and general life conditions, you must first master yourself. It is the hardest thing you will ever do. If you do not conquer yourself, you will eventually be conquered by yourself. Though there are many uncontrollable circumstances in life, the effort you make to shape your future is dependent solely on you.

A Model for Productivity and Efficiency Preview 19:11

Productivity is commonly defined as a ratio between the output volume and the volume of inputs. In other words, it measures how efficiently production inputs, such as labour and capital, are being used in an economy to produce a given level of output. This teaching explores a key productivity principle that can be related to every area of your life in which you direct your focus.

Defining an Overarching Objective for Life Preview 16:28

In order to consciously detach from something, we must sever all connections to it. All productivity is determined by our mentality. In order to obtain more of what we desire, we must unconsciously separate ourselves from that which we do not want. It's time to stop focusing on what we don't have, and start asking better questions about how we can get what we want.

Outlining a Path to Progress Preview 28:10

Without change, progress cannot be achieved and those who refuse to change their minds will remain unchanged. Unless we have a clear vision of the goal we are pursuing, how will we know if we are veering off course? We can follow a path to progress that will assist us in getting closer to our main objective, which will be discussed throughout the video.

Blocks to Hyper-Personal Efficiency (Part 1) Preview 21:30

Productivity refers to achieving results within a reasonable amount of time. The best years of your life are the ones in which you decide your goals and everyday challenges are your own. Your mindset will serve you as either a friend or a foe. You can conquer almost anything upon making up your mind to do so. Fear doesn't exist anywhere except in the mind! This video is part 1 of 2.

Blocks to Hyper-Personal Efficiency (Part 2) Preview 18:35

A Basis for Reflective (Wise) Self-Evaluation Preview 18:56

Knowing oneself involves evaluating oneself critically. It is necessary to become self-aware and consider the consequences of one's own decisions in order to become effective and productive. In order to become more informed and self-aware, we need to think about the impact of our decisions on the other people in our lives and in this clip, we examine the basis for a reflective self-evaluation.

A Guide to Overcoming Distraction (Part 1) Preview 21:41

A tarpaulin is a large ground sheet of waterproof material; challenging to pin down on a windy day without the right strategy but can be mastered when we focus on pinning down one corner at a time. We can liken this to pinning down the different areas of our lives; if we don't commit to this we can end up being blown around like a leaf in the wind. This video is part 1 of 2.

A Guide to Overcoming Distraction (Part 2) Preview 10:54

Unpacking Your Core Human Values (Part 1) Preview 20:02

Basic human values refer to those values which are at the core of being human. The values which are considered basic inherent values in humans include truth, honesty, loyalty, love, peace, etc. We all share the same values but prioritise them differently. It's only once we understand our priorities (our governing values) that we know where to direct our focus. This video is part 1 of 2.

Six Keys to Unlocking Hyper-Efficiency Preview 26:46

Viktor Frankl found purpose in his Natzi concentration camp experience through knowing that he could offer other people value; turning adversity into a meaningful purpose. Our past events can shape our future vision - we can each use our past and the hardships we've experienced to channel our focus onto a more meaningful vision for our future.

Ikigai: A Reason for Being Preview 21:43

Unless we develop a sense of purpose and meaning in our lives, we will find it difficult to remain focused and disciplined in our pursuit of our goals. Ikigai, the Japanese ideology, has long been regarded as the essence of finding one's purpose in life. Quite simply, your Ikigai is the value that you are best positioned to provide for the world.

Defining Inspiring Future Goals Preview 24:08

Discipline can only be measured through a goal. Our future life vision gives us a benchmark to measure decision making in the future. Setting goals is one thing, but framing goals in a way that motivates action is quite another. It's only when we're focused on what we're going to gain from our goals that they become inspiring. Kain explains the different types of goals in this teaching.

Well Formed and Specified Goal Setting Preview 23:21

Some people spend a considerable amount of time planning their future, often at the expense of actually taking action toward their goals. Design thinking does not allow for procrastination or over-thinking. A productive person must learn to be efficient in transforming their ideas into reality. In this video, Kain discusses the importance of setting well-crafted and specific goals.

The Four Levels of Self-Awareness Preview 17:56

Self-awareness leads to intelligence. Learning about yourself begins with awareness. We can't learn what we are not. Awareness is the point at which the mind reaches into reality. In awareness you seek not what pleases, but what is true. There is a higher perspective we can adopt; throughout this video Kain discusses the four levels of self-awareness and brings this section of the course to a close.

The Practicalities of Wise and Disciplined Decision Making 18 lectures

The Four States of Vision and Contentment Preview 20:20

Fulfillment is more meaningful than happiness, but the pursuit of fulfilment in and of itself is still hollow - it's just an emotional state. However, we can instead pursue meaningful goals. How hard we work and how compelling our vision is, will determine our level of fulfillment. In this video, we explore four states of contentment relating to the fulfillment we experience when pursuing a meaningful life vision.

Hierarchy of Competency Development (CD) Preview 22:35

As we become conscious of the fact that there is much in life we don't know, we ask more wise and conscious questions. We all have the opportunity today, to become masters of something. The teaching in this video illustrates the scale (which in some cases is referred to as a spectrum) from unconscious incompetence to unconscious competence (personal or skillful mastery).

Knowing Your Zone (and getting in it) Preview 24:16

Fulfillment and contentment are a result of recognizing that we are making progress in life. A tree will be limited in its growth if it's surrounded by the roots of too many other plants or weeds. In the same way, We grow when we are unrestricted, step outside of our comfort zone and stretch ourselves.

Context for Being a More Valuable Human (Part 1) Preview 26:14

Your identity will determine how productive you will be; you will either commit to being false or real and genuine. By default, our productivity and effectiveness increase exponentially when we become a more valuable human being. Kain does a contrastive analysis of the vices and virtues we can commit to and how each impacts our productivity. This video is part 1 of 2.

Context for Being a More Valuable Human (Part 2) Preview 17:38

Throughout this video the various steps of the Kaizen model are outlined and unpacked which paints a picture of how we can start implementing change in our lives, changing one habit at a time.

Redesign Your Day for Optimal Balance Preview 30:05

We all have the same amount of hours in the day but taking control of that time is the key to hacking those 24 hours. When you start to really look at what you do each day, you might be surprised by how much time you let go to waste. We make BIG changes in our lives by committing to SMALL habitual changes over time. Here are 6 principles you can use to redesign your day for optimal balance.

Six Principles for Perpetual Personal Proficiency Preview 15:17

The world is a classroom for leaders. Mistakes, successes, books, coworkers, bosses, friends, and life itself teach us. Leaders know what matters, and that time is the most valuable commodity that they have access to. Many people, sadly, take their time for granted and waste it on meaningless tasks. In this teaching, Kain highlights six principles for perpetual personal proficiency.

Trading Off Between Good and Great Preview 14:45

It's not uncommon for people to trade off between good and great. When you can work hard for first place, why would you settle for second? Most people want to be productive and know they are making the most of their time. A simple exercise is presented in this video to help you reduce your commitments and focus all your efforts on a few key activities.

The Stress (and stress management) Principle Preview 26:22

There will always be stress and pressure in our lives, so we must learn how to manage them. Because most people do not understand stress, they never learn how to manage it. Through this video, we explore the stress principle, which describes the relationship between stress, time and space, and then look at a short exercise that can be completed to assess your time efficiency.

Productivity Versus Progress Preview 24:15

Ultimately, how we lead ourselves will determine how productive we are. In some cases, people commit to being productive just for the sake of feeling better about their current situation. If productivity does not lead to progress in life, then what is the point? We'll explore some of the characteristics of progress and discuss different leadership styles in this video.

The Six Faces of Influential Leadership Preview 18:13

Leadership is defined by the results that come from the life of a person: a genuine leader will have a following of followers who look to them for guidance. Various forms of leadership generate different types of outcomes - this video will provoke you to think about what kind of outcome you wish to achieve in your own life, AND through your style of preferred personal leadership.

A Model for Financial Efficiency Preview 30:30

Financial goals often motivate people to become more productive. It is not so much money that motivates people, but the rewards that they can gain from money. Having a financial vision for the future and a plan for budgeting will help you reach your financial goals.

Basic Cash Flow: Assets and Liabilities Preview 25:07

We will prioritise based on the mindset that we adopt. If we examine history, we can find that certain mindsets have ensnared groups of people for decades and even centuries. To prosper financially, one must adopt a 'kingdom' mindset and invest their resources into assets rather than liabilities.

The Simplest Business Planning Model Preview 21:28

As we begin to change, we are exploring what it means to be entrepreneurial, to start creating things with our lives that will provide an additional source of income for us. In order to prepare for the future, it is wise to grasp a basic understanding of the business planning process.

Getting Efficient: Six Types of Leverage Preview 31:29

Our efficiency increases as we gain more leverage in life. Leveraging allows us to accelerate our wealth growth and save time, but it takes effort, creativity, and hard work. In the absence of leverage, we are entirely dependent on our own limitations. Although leverage is not a new concept, it's important to become aware of the ways that we can leverage so that we can do it more intentionally.

The Seven Projects (Course) Project Preview 11:36

Learning about leverage and the difference between assets and liabilities may seem overwhelming to those not raised to be financially literate. Through the process of taking action, we develop a greater awareness of leverage principles and gain experience applying them.

Closing Thoughts and Recommended Reads Preview 18:35

When it comes to being output-oriented versus outcome-oriented, there is a massive difference. Rather than simply going through the motions and producing outputs, we can discipline ourselves to produce specific outcomes. The clearer you are about what you want in life, the more disciplined you will become in channeling your efforts in this direction. This brings us to the end of this course.
