Michael was a bit of a celebrity in his space. Even before I worked with him, he came up in many conversations and I could hear how people wanted to be like him.

What others didn't know, was that Michael procrastinated a lot.
And when I say a lot, it's more than you're currently imagining.
He did have good business and some status, but this struggle was causing him to lose so much time, money, and mental energy.

By the end of our signature 90-day program, Michael almost didn't recognize himself.
His procrastination went down to almost zero and he was able to do his work with more focus and clarity.
Plus, he had more time and energy for his loved ones.

While you are doing any task, you (without even realizing it!) are using your 28 thinking skills.

When the thinking skills you need to use are strong, doing the task happens easily.
If the thinking skill you need to use is weak, doing the task will be a challenge.

The struggle that Michael had, came from weak thinking skills.

Procrastination is a sign.
A sign of a weak thinking skill.

Michael didn’t need some sort of motivational boost or hack.
What Michael needed was to identify which of his thinking skills were weak.

Once we were able to pinpoint exactly what thinking skills were getting in the way, work happened easily without a struggle and without procrastination.

While with Michael, the weaker thinking skills were identified many through the sessions we had in Optimize Your Brain, I’m going to share with you how you can identify your weak thinking skills at home.​

The first thing you’re going to want to do is to take the thinking skills assessment at www.lifepixuniversity.com/cf
This assessment will give you a clear definition of each of the thinking skills.
You’re going to mark each thinking skill on a scale from 1-5. 1 being weak, 5 being strong.

By the end of the assessment, you wouldn’t get a right or wrong or be categorized in a specific profile.
Instead, you’ll get a summery with the numbers you marked which will give you a clear overview of where you’re standing with each one of the thinking skills.
This way you can see which ones of your thinking skills are strong and which ones need some help.

Chances are, any thinking skill that was marked 1,2 or possibly even 3, is causing you to procrastinate.
You improve those thinking skills, procrastination goes away.

Another way to figure out what is causing you to procrastinate takes more time, but it will be a real eye-opener.

For the next week, every time you find yourself procrastinating, write down what task you were procrastinating on and then you’re going to add a description of the part of the task your brain found challenging or was uninterested in doing

For example, if you find yourself procrastinating on emailing a client, you’ll write down “emailing client X” and the part of the task my brain didn’t like was writing out the email with all the details and information.

Later on, you find yourself procrastinating on organizing your desk, and the part of the task my brain found overwhelming was putting away all the papers and little stuff floating around.

By the end of the week, you’ll have a long list of tasks you were procrastinating on.
This is not to be discouraging, rather view it as info to a shortcut.

As you look through your list, you’ll notice there are a couple of patterns.
There will be a few tasks that are related and connected to one another by the description of what your brain didn’t want to do.

In our examples, while responding to a client email and organizing your desk looks like they don’t have anything to do with one another, when you look at the descriptions, you’ll see they’re both talking about details.
Instead of trying to find a solution to answer emails and another solution to organize your desk, all you need to do is improve your skill of working with details, and any task related to details will happen easily.

Actually, the pattern you find, the issue you see that needs to be improved, is directly related to a thinking skill.

So, what you can do is take the patterns you found and compare them to the thinking skills assessment.
You’ll find a direct correlation between the pattern you found and a thinking skill.

In our example, we noticed the challenge as details. That’s related to the thinking skill of precision.
Improve precision, not only will all tasks related to details be easy, but any task related to precision in any sort of will get easier.
