I'm ST Rappaport,

After improving ONE thinking,
I tripled my business
and saved 23 hours weekly.
Let’s solve the real problem.
Most people try to solve what they can see.
Keep missing deadlines? They create a new rule for themselves: “I’ll just finish everything 24 hours early.” It might work for a bit. But it doesn’t last.
Because the real issue, how your brain is thinking, is still there.
In order for you to do any task, you've got to use your 28 thinking skills.
If the thinking skill you need to use is weak, it becomes a challenge to do the task.
Thinking skills are... skills. And that means you can learn it.
Once you learn the thinking skills in a way that work for your brain, it's becomes easy for you to do the task.
Let’s rewire the brain and solve the real problem.
Usually, when a person has a problem, they solve what they see at the surface. Let’s say, for example, you never make the deadlines you set for yourself and it’s getting really frustrating, so you decided from now on you’ll finish all your tasks 24 hours early. It might work for a week or two but pretty quickly you’ll be late again. Why? This is because there is a reason WHY you are constantly being late. You’re not trying to but there’s another problem. Maybe it’s because you never know how to start or maybe it’s because once you get distracted it’s extremely difficult to refocus or maybe doing research just messes with your brain and you can’t seem to do it.
When you solve the real core problem (and there might be a few!) then everything else will fall into place. You’ll not only be making your deadlines at work, you’ll also be making deadlines with your personal goals. How awesome is that?
When I was a kid, I was told I needed to work on the thinking skill of categorizations.
But I thought I was good at it.
I mean, I had no issue categorizing something by color or shape, so what's the issue?
The issue was, I was working a lot harder than I had to.
And it was making life... well, not fun.
Instead of categorizing my work into groups to make it easier for me to get it done.
Everything had to happen now.
The frustration if something didn't happen now, was high.
My brain couldn't function well if there were tasks that needed to get done (read: it was never able to function properly)
Relationships got strained 'cuz not everyone did everything now.
Oh! and I would find myself driving to the other part of town 3 times a day, 'cuz remember, it has to happen, now right?
Getting through the day was draining, to say the least.
9 years after being told I need to improve categorizations, I was taking a training,
And the penny dropped.
I was struggling with categorizations. On an abstract level. So I can organize my life. See the big picture. And categorize things we don't think we need to categorize 'cuz we do it automatically.
I needed to improve categorizations. Now.
Within a few days of doing categorizations exercises, I've changed how I approached my work and saved 23 that week. And every week from then on.
I realized I needed to make just a few tweaks to triple my business
And my brain was able to function at a much higher capacity because task now had it placed.
Oh! I was also abe to understand why someone didn't do the task right away, so my relationships improved without any other changes:)
P.S. I did the math. I could have gotten back 9360 hours into my life if I would have improved my thinking skill of categorizations 9 years earlier. Though, I do think that number would be higher, as ever since I've saved my first 23 hours, my brain looks for more and more ways to be able to categorize more and save even more....
Today, after years of training and implementation, I work with ADHDish business owners who want to grow their business without the overwhelm.
At LifePix University, we help you optimize your brain to get more done in less time while experiencing more inner peace.
Behind all skills, there are 28 cognitive functions (thinking skills) that help you do what you want to do. When one of them are weak, it gets in your way of accomplishing your goals.
Guess what? You can always improve your cognitive functions.
Take the assessment to see how strong each of your cognitive functions are.
