@@Adam-rf5xp. May not really be a bait comment. Mariana may be asking for how do you know when to be fast and when to slow down and focus on quality. She may not have thought of all the factors.
Having a bias towards action, and not being paralysed by analyis is certainly a winning trait. I paused your video to send off some emails that had been sitting in my Outbox for a while!😊
Great content. For me here’s a protocol/framework that helps me achieve top productivity. Stable Strategy: 1. Slow down (this is about focusing on precision while eliminating distractions). 2. Simplify: Even if I can’t send a full, detailed response to a key business person, sending a quick, brief acknowledgment is helpful. For example: Thank you for reaching out. I will get the information you need and get back to you by end of business day today-or exactly when you plan to do it. Even an auto response is better than no response. 3. Structure: Plan my day the night before or at the very least at the best of the day. He who fails to plan plans to fail. Great books to help you achieve more (faster and better): 1. Atomic Habits 2. The Compound Effect 3. The 12-Week Year Any Book by Brian Tracy
I am naturally really fast (always finished tasks in school first, used to finish reading books in 2-3 days or a week if they were over 400 pages, I still type faster than average), but after going through trauma, I became slower. I’m working on getting faster now and focusing. It’s how I feel good, happy and like myself. Idk, just felt like sharing.
Hey, i can recommend you to read the book Letting Go from David Hawkins. I used to be lazy and thought this was just how I am but after reading that book and working with the technique of letting go daily, I realized that I was just in an apathetic state and after working on childhood trauma and releasing many negative emotions I became way more active and joyful in general. Hope that helps!
@ Interesting! That book and meditation did the opposite for me. It made me lazy and apathetic. Very nice guy though David Hawkins. I think for me was just taking more action! Happy it worked for you though!
Thank you. I've been watching plenty of productivity videos on TH-cam, but this is the first time anyone has recommended just being fast! To an overthinking perfectionist like me, it's useful advice. Just lower my quality standards (in less-important things) for the sake of being fast, in order to achieve more. That justification is important, because I'm not going to just rush things unless I remember what I gain from it!
It is hard to find business and productivity channels that give you more than a 10-minute ad for their online course or tips like making a TH-cam channel, taking an ice bath, meditate XD
@5:34 this is huge advise, for all thing's. Just start by DOING, and second just do the basics (pick the basic workout plan, the basic equipment, the basic coding course, the basic cooking course, etc) and do the basics with great effort.
Speed is important. In fact, everything in life is, pretty much a race. And it all started with conception. However, speed is not always the best way to become successful. Speed is mostly good for success, but when you have to solve a really, really tough problem, speed will work to your disadvantage. What works for me, is to bring the big problem into smaller pieces and be quick with each piece, but to give you the chance to solve the smaller piece quickly. Then when it does not work, then you have time to pivot quickly. For some jobs, you don't need to be on top of things but buried at the bottom.
Mariana Kaiser, thank you! The TH-cam algorithm brought your video to my attention this morning. The nine points you listed on how to work faster were refreshing, spot-on, and perfectly aligned with my next steps toward becoming a top performer. Well done! I’m excited to be a new subscriber.
gold mine!....thank you so much...its like you were talking me!...I have been struggling with taking ACTION fast...thank you...one love from South Africa
Hey I noticed you are from South Africa so you may or may not speak other languages. However, I noticed that your TH-cam name is spelt incorrectly. You missed the s in consistency. This may come across as minor but spelling words incorrectly that you wish to become and embody may also be part of the reason you are struggling to achieve this. Hope this helps and I hope you have a wonderful day. Take care
Have you? I think her approach is extremely helpful for overthinkers, who spend forever researching and planning something without ever taking action. People who lack initiative
So I think they’re two separate areas of work. For the deep work tasks, it’s slow and steady. But items that don’t need a lot of creativity or can be handled with a single task, take action immediately. So writing a book may be a long term task with slow and steady deep work involved, but you don’t need to waste a lot of time deciding on marketing strategies. Pick something and go with it. Or I want to write a book, should I use Microsoft word or vellum? Are both feasible? Yes, so pick one and just move forward. I think it attacks perfectionism. I really like what she said about completing a task at 80% quality and being done in a day versus taking a week to do it “perfectly.” I really struggle with this so it’s a great reminder
Yup just reading but I think if u plan properly just attacking work can be effective and then u can add breaks after a few days of seeing how it works for u. I'm trying this as of now
Wow! This is very true and helpful! Why wait! I love this video! First one I ever saw from you! This video alone is sooo valuable to me, living here in Germany! Thank you for the work you do!
I think it's the old adage of slow is smooth, smooth is fast. When you're learning, you learn form and technique by being deliberate with your learning and actions. As it becomes engrained, you can begin to be fast, which is a huge asset, as someone who moves fast, efficiently, is the most competitive in fast paced high stakes environments (such as war, where the phrase originates). Even in low stakes, slower environments, getting things done quicker is just better as you can accomplish more volume. The trick is not sacrificing quality for speed. If you do a lot of things terribly but do them really fast, they're still not worth much. But 90% quality in 1/3 or less the time is often worth much more than 99% quality.
8:09 calling me out. I keep getting all these ideas and im not starting, i even made the mistake of buying the domain first. This is an amazing video, subbed and bell icon on. Amazing, mariana
Great advice on speeding up! I really appreciate how you contrasted it with slowing down for quality-it’s such an important distinction and well worth taking the time to understand. I absolutely love it! Thank you so much, and I wish you and your loved ones a very happy, healthy, and prosperous 2025! 🎉😊
I don’t think I could have explained it better myself! I am with you, it truly is amazing how much people don’t take action and instead delay with planning or talking about it. Just start!!! You don’t have to think about step 10 or optimizing if you haven’t even done step 1 😂 Cheers from Oregon 🥳
I did really appreciate this though as most people analysis paralysis and then also how quick and dirty solution rigorously implemented is best than the most complex perfect theory not done
I may have watched 1000+ productivity videos till now but this one is truly super useful. Thank you mam. Do you mentor people? I mean I'm looking for a mentor for life and career in general I wish you would. I can also help you with ideas regarding TH-cam and websites as I am doing blogging for more than 7 years.
Thank you for the video. This reminds me of the Myers Briggs Type Indicator which assesses people's personalities. Some people are Judgers while others are perceivers. Judgers love to take action and be in the moment while perceivers love to consider their options. The world tends to favour Judgers more even though they can be workaholics. I also think another overlooked area of discipline is you have to consider your starting point. It might be easy for certain people to wake up and start taking action if as you've said they're already above average, but what about those people that're below average? For example those coming out of a depressive episode or those with ADHD. I think in such cases it requires smaller steps and more emphasis on long term sustainability as well as therapy and the right support network. Also reading books on overcoming procrastination and being more disciplined is helpful as it provides you with the tools you need to tackle those issues as long as you don't get stuck in a loop.
I've got ADHD and it's hard, i have ideas but i procrastinate and in my job i can get overwhelmed, but in the points she makes she's right only as you say if you're below average in discipline then productivity is harder. I can spend an age on writing on paragraph when it has to be written professionally
@Mariana Kaiser Very nice video. Do you have a book out? From the thumbnail it looks like you do but cannot find anything online if so. Can you kindly verify?
The problem is quick decision making is good. But being rushed into action can often lead to us being scammed or pressured into poor decisions That's good the real estate agent varied it up depending on when it's needed
Moving fast will create lot of debt in the process, yes you have to go smooth. The world is changing and gearing up it's speed, it so important to be mindful and be in moderation with everything if you want to build a meaningful life which may not fit with the so called successful life.
It's called business because you are busy doing things. If you have time to do other things, you aren't as busy as the people working 12 hour days 7 days a week.
Moving fast is obviously a key component to being successful today But her approach technique is not that helpful. There’s no real system here. Just move fast and do the best you can. Don’t think that’s very helpful for most people.
How quickly do you respond to your emails? Do you know when to be fast and when to slow down and focus on quality?
Loved your films! What's Arnold really like behind the scenes?
The Romans had a saying, "He who gives quickly, gives twice." (Bis dat qui cito dat.)
