Power Hour
in 7 Kernaussagen verstehen

Kernaussage 1 von 7

What’s in it for me? Make the first hour of every day count, and the rest will follow.

A day is a finite amount of time: 24 hours. We often prioritize our work, studies, parenting, and everyday chores, putting off our personal goals and passions until evening. The problem is that, by then, we’re too exhausted to get anything done, so we put it off till the next evening.

Carrying around a growing mental list of deferred goals is tiring and deeply discouraging. At some point, you have to ask yourself, Is this something I care about enough to make time for?

Because making time is possible. As these blinks explain, all you’ve got to do is devote the first hour of every day to a specific goal or passion, and you can make your goals a reality.

In these blinks, you’ll learn

why the first hour of the day is the most important;
how to create your own person board of directors; and
the difference between habits and power habits.

With the right mindset, you can take charge of your day and achieve your goals.

If you’re like most people, you probably feel that there simply aren’t enough hours in the day for personal projects. There’s no time to strive toward your dreams. You’ve got to juggle life’s many responsibilities – the appointments, meetings, and other obligations that fill the day. What’s more, when a spare moment does present itself, most people are good at generating reasons to leave the striving for another day. We’re tired. We’re distracted. We’ve got other things to do. But by deferring action, we shirk responsibility for our own happiness and success.

Now, you can’t just drop everything and devote each day to learning Italian or training for a marathon. But what if you started with just one hour – the very first hour of your day? Let’s call it a Power Hour.

One hour at a time, you can pursue your passions and achieve your goals. And you can start by being open to change.

The key message here is: With the right mindset, you can take charge of your day and achieve your goals.

We each come from unique backgrounds, but the cards we’re dealt don’t have to determine our futures. Take Maggie Alphonsi, who overcame the physical obstacles caused by her clubfoot to become an English Rugby Union player. She eventually won the World Cup with the England national team and was named Sportswoman of the Year by the Sunday Times. She didn’t view her past circumstances as fixed limitations, and neither should you. When you do that, you’re telling yourself that because of your social class, gender, ethnicity, or past experiences, you can’t be successful in some endeavor.

So instead of considering your creative abilities, skills, and even character as immutable, it’s best to abandon this fixed mindset for its opposite: the growth mindset. Adopting a growth mindset helps you to see failure as an opportunity to improve, rather than triggering long-term discouragement.

So how can you slip into a more positive mindset on a daily basis? One practical way is to start asking yourself six questions before 6:00 a.m. Here they are: What energy do you want to have today? From whom can you learn? Who can you help? How can you get closer to where you want to be a year from now? What are you most looking forward to today? What are you most grateful for today?

With a growth mindset, you'll view your talents and abilities simply as a starting point.

Make the most of your time and energy by creating powerful habits.

Let’s say you’re ready for the challenge. You’re ready to exchange your fixed mindset for a growth mindset. You’ve even set your alarm for 5:30 a.m. so you’ll have time to answer those six early-morning questions. What’s next? Well, it’s time to take your shiny new growth mindset and apply it to several fundamental elements of your life, starting with your habits.

We encounter thousands of decisions each day. To help us navigate all this decision-making, we develop habits. Here’s the problem: All too often, these habits neglect long-term goals, and prioritize short-term rewards.

Everyone can benefit from some form of physical activity each day.

So let's imagine you've made some positive moves. You've adjusted your mindset to a more change-friendly setting. You've shifted your habits so they serve your goals. That's great – but what's next? Well, now it's time for some literal movement: it's time to move your body.

Don’t worry. This blink isn’t about that dreaded “e” word – exercise – and it doesn’t claim that CrossFit bootcamps are the only way to fulfill your potential. There is, however, an undeniable connection between regular physical movement and self-confidence, stress management, and reduced risk of illness.

Prioritizing sleep is essential.

For most people, engaging in some kind of movement – be it jogging, weightlifting, or doing a few simple yoga poses – isn’t the hard part. The hard part is finding time to exercise. Again, your Power Hour is the perfect time to get moving – but how are you supposed to muster up the necessary energy if, when your alarm goes off, you feel like you haven’t slept a wink?

Here’s the tiring truth: Most people either don’t get enough sleep, or they sleep poorly.

Our social connections have an impact on who we are, how we feel, and what we do.

Even if you do everything right – adopt a growth mindset, engage in exercise, get enough sleep – it doesn’t mean you won’t need anyone else’s help. Humans are social creatures. It doesn’t matter how independent you are. You, like everyone else, need support and encouragement.

How we live and interact with others is just as important to our health as other factors like diet and exercise – if not more so. What does this have to do with an effective Power Hour? You’re about to find out.

Issues of time, money, and fear hold people back from pursuing their passions.

Before you jump into creating your very own Power Hour, let’s take a step back and talk about the obstacles that stand between us and the pursuit of our passions. Perhaps you already have a clear idea of which values shape your life purpose. That’s wonderful, but you might still struggle to make progress. You can have all the motivation in the world – and be ready to channel that into the pursuit of a personal project during your Power Hour – and yet still feel blocked.

Blocked by what? Well, most people either feel that they don’t have enough time or money to pursue their passions, or they’re held back by fear.

Commit to a Power Hour each day to reclaim your time and create the life you want to live.

Okay, so now that you’ve got an understanding of the mental, physical, emotional, and social factors that will contribute to your success, it’s time to plan your very first Power Hour.

How many hours are in a week? 168.

❤️ für Blinkist️️️

Ich bin begeistert. Ich liebe Bücher aber durch zwei kleine Kinder komme ich einfach nicht zum Lesen. Und ja, viele Bücher haben viel bla bla und die Quintessenz ist eigentlich ein Bruchteil.

Genau dafür ist Blinkist total genial! Es wird auf das Wesentliche reduziert, die Blinks sind gut verständlich, gut zusammengefasst und auch hörbar! Das ist super. 80 Euro für ein ganzes Jahr klingt viel, aber dafür unbegrenzt Zugriff auf 3000 Bücher. Und dieses Wissen und die Zeitersparnis ist unbezahlbar.

Extrem empfehlenswert. Statt sinnlos im Facebook zu scrollen höre ich jetzt täglich zwischen 3-4 "Bücher". Bei manchen wird schnelle klar, dass der Kauf unnötig ist, da schon das wichtigste zusammen gefasst wurde..bei anderen macht es Lust doch das Buch selbständig zu lesen. Wirklich toll

Nils S.

Einer der besten, bequemsten und sinnvollsten Apps die auf ein Handy gehören. Jeden morgen 15-20 Minuten für die eigene Weiterbildung/Entwicklung oder Wissen.

Viele tolle Bücher, auf deren Kernaussagen reduziert- präzise und ansprechend zusammengefasst. Endlich habe ich das Gefühl, Zeit für Bücher zu finden, für die ich sonst keine Zeit habe.
