RANT: How Many Hours do You REALLY Need to Work? [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

How many hours a day do you actually spend doing deep-dive, productive work? Join Rob today as he details how many hours you actually need to work and how you can stop yourself getting distracted. Learn today how whilst you may think you are working for 8 hours a day, you are probably working far less than that, how entrepreneurs can productively work just 3-5 hours a day and how to stop yourself giving in to the urge of distraction.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Being a workaholic can be characterised as working for the sake of working or feeling like you have always got to and want to work. Workaholism can cause friendships, family connections and doing things that make you happy that aren’t reliant on external validation or progress to be sacrificed.   If you are usually at work for eight hours a day but are only doing deep-dive work for 20% of that time then this is called active procrastination. You are essentially convincing yourself that you are working when you’re not. This is as dangerous as passive procrastination.   If you are an entrepreneur you should aim to do between 3-5 hours of work a day. Make sure these hours are high quality where you are focused, not distracted and all your unnecessary devices are switched off. Push through your desires to become distracted so that you can train your mind to concentrate.   Many people think that meditation is emptying your thoughts when actually it is learning the ability to control the thoughts that you have. It is mastering the ability to think about nothing and is essentially the technique of intense concentration.   Good, meaningful, deep work trains you to concentrate and resist all the urges you have to give in to distraction. Taking time away from social media will open your eyes to how many urges you have given into previously. Sitting still for 15 minutes and counting how many urges you have to check your phone or social media is likely to shock you.   BEST MOMENTS “I don’t really fear the unknown as much as other people, I quite enjoy it, it excites me.” “If you work eight hours a day, how many of those are productive?” “Meditation is the power of concentration.”   [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors] VALUABLE RESOURCES https://robmoore.com/ bit.ly/Robsupporter   https://robmoore.com/podbooks  rob.team ABOUT THE HOST Rob Moore is an author of 9 business books, 5 UK bestsellers, holds 3 world records for public speaking, entrepreneur, property investor, and property educator.
