play

10/16/16 • 53 min

Have you wanted to automate a task for your business, but had no idea how to start? We believe there is a simple place to start. IFTTT is an online service that allows you to connect other online applications with two simple formulas. IFTTTT has over 350 channels, which is what it calls the other online applications.

First, you can use the channels with the first simple formula. If This Then That, of IF something happens THEN do something. So when something happens in a channel, do something in the channel of your choice.

Also, You can create a more simple task with the Do formula, or just do a task in a channel.

If you are looking for more solutions that preforms similar tasks, we are also a fan a zapier.com.

Episode 81 – Sleep: Your greatest productivity tool

What!!! I cannot sleep, I have too much work

Hey we understand. Jeff resisted this notion for years. Because, the idea that if you sleep more you can get more work done in less time is truly counter-intuitive. However, when Jeff was researching content on the basics of improving performance. We found lots of evidence that sleep is really the foundation of performing at a higher level.

Really, sleep is the foundation of better performance?

Yes, since adopting a few new strategies. May of which we learned at Brendon Burchard’s live High Performance Academy, not an affiliate. We have both found an increased level of energy, to get rid of time loss to low energy and increased focus for the entire day.

The results have been so astounding we have rescheduled our entire content plan at Small Biz HQ to dedicate April 2017 to help our friends and peers.

While researching, why we had the improvement. The true importance of sleep became apparent.

If you do not know, Jeff is a skeptic. So, he follows up success with research. He looked at all the things we did to improve. He found that without the sleep, nothing else would have worked as well. So Really, sleep is the foundation of better performance? Join us as we look at the science of sleep. The benefits of 7 – 9 hours of sleep a night. We also invite you to some of the links below

We challenge you to find a system, trick, or technique that could help you become more productive than a good night of sleep. If you do share it in the comments below. Jeff would love to research that as well.
