Imagine, If you have given 24 thousand 9 hundred and 85 rupees the time you were born and while giving that money if you were said that only that much amount you will have for your entire life and you have to spend your entire life with that amount of money, no extra penny will be given you will have only 24 thousand 9 hundred and 85 rupees for eating food, having family etc has to do every single thing with that money, has to spend entire life by spending money from that amount so what you think, is this amount less or more for your entire life suppose if this happens in reality, then you have to be so careful and precise with your expenses well in reality an average person get this number not in money but in thing which is more important than money as per Indian Report Our Average life at todays time is 68.45 years which we convert in days then it would be 24 thousand 9 hundred and 85 days means we have only these many days to do everything we have only these many days to eat, drink, to travel to make family to fulfil our dreams etc we have do everything in just these days having 24 thousand 9 hundred and 85 days isn’t a big problem but the actual problem is we waste hell lot of days from these given days a survey shows that we waste 9000 days on doing useless activities which is more than 40 percent time of our lives therefore today i will give a great book summary on the most valuable thing our lives and that valuable thing is How Not to Waste time Today’s book summary will teach you 4 basic steps and principles, by following that you will learn to make best use of your time and also make to achieve your goals so let’s begin.. if you ask to maximum people, whether they are good at making strategies or at executing it then you will find maximum people who are good at executing they must have seen many youtube videos related to their goals, they will have lot of business knowledge but the thing in which they will lack, that would be Execution means they lack at taking actions for completing their goals hence if you want to be different from others, want to achieve goals and want to be successful then please focus on Execution And to focus on IT the thing which will help is 4DX Means the 4 Discipline of Execution This Book author’s Surveyed more than 2 lakh Business Leaders that why they fail to take action for their ideas, why aren’t they fulfilling their goals then through it they came to know that the one thing which doesn’t allow them to complete their work is Whirlwind means (hindi word Bavander) whirlwind of all small daily work, whirlwind of procrastination and time pass which eats their entire day but doesn’t allow them to finish any important work means Whirlwind of social media’s notifications whirlwind of friends meeting, whirlwind of all small work etc.. hence you should make a system for executing your work so that you can fight with that whirlwind and the system which will help you to fight with it is known as 4DX
First Discipline of 4DX Out of 4 is : No.1) WIG Imagine if you work as An Airport ATC Means Air Traffic controller where continuously many flights take off and lands at any time if you ask passengers then obviously the most important plane for them will be there’s at any time means then all planes will be important but for you, the person who controls the entire traffic for him the most important the wildly important plane will be the only one plane and that one plane will the plane who would be landing on the airport at any time your full focus will be on that one plane which would be landing which then help you to control the entire traffic similarly, authors says that if you want full control of your life, then even you should keep your full focus on one wildly important goal means to focus on the Wig means work which comes under to Radar, complete only that work which completes your Goal statement FROM X to Y by Z Example: I want to increase my salary from 30 k to 60 k that too before 2020 and to make this goal statement possible ask a question to yourself that what will be that one work, if you do it now then it will move you closer to your xyz goal statement just identify that work and complete that work before anything and work on it daily In a lecture, once Steve Jobs was sharing some wisdom with college students in that lecture he shared one very important thing he said that Today Apple has become Billion dollar company but if you keep our all products in one table, still that table won’t run out of space the thing which he actually mean was if he would wanted then he would have done lot many things on apple, he had money resources everything, but still they focused mainly on few products they invested all their energy on those product, they work to make them best this is one of the reason of their company’s success hence work on wildly important goals, wildly important goal shouldn’t be more than 2 at any time no.2) Lead actions lag results Suppose your goal is to double your current income now to achieve this goal you start working hard you search clients apart from your job, so that you can get extra work and can increase your income at start you try hard, but till the end of a month you don’t see much progress in your income by the result you get disappointed and then quit by saying that you don’t need an extra incomeNow this same thing happens to many people, they take actions but don’t see results Author’ s say that this happens because we don’t understand a thing known as Lag Results lead actions no matter what work you do and how much nicely you do it you will get a lag time between after action and before results means straight line in a graph, where you won’t see any result now for few this lag time is more and for fe it is less therefore authors say that please don’t measure lag results, But measure Lead actions daily example: instead of measuring how much income is increasing every month or daily means lag results you should measure lead actions, that how many lead actions you have increased in order to increase income example: how many clients did you talk to one two or many and next day increase the number of lead action talk to more clients compare to previous day always improve and increase your lead actions suppose you want to increase your subscribers, then don’t measure how many subscribers you have gained instead measure how many videos you are uploading weekly means measure the thing which you can improve or influence because when you do this way without giving up then for sure your results will improve slowly gradually hence chapter 2 is instead of focusing on lag results be more focused on lead actions
Discipline no.3) Put Score board suppose its a holiday, and you decide with your friends that today you will play cricket hence you all make a team and starts playing but after 1 or 2 hours you notice that with time their interest is fading why? because you all didn’t count scores, you have no idea how many run the other team had made you all didn’t have idea how many runs or wicket you’ll need to win, you’ll were just playing with no scoreboard now imagine instead of playing that way if you’ll had maintained score board and after playing for 1 or 2 hours you would have known that you team needs 10 runs in 1 over and only 2 wickets are left, so what do you think even with this both teams would be getting bored or they would be saying that enough they don’t want to play more wanted to go home etc obviously No, They would be full of energy and their interest would have gone to another level and they would have played more even if they were running out of energy well keeping scoreboard has the same power author says that people play different when they know whats their score is because with this their will to win increases and when people will to win improves then automatically their execution also improves hence it is important for you to check your scores frequently this you can do by maintaining journal or by preparing a score board at school or at homenow usually you should write three things on score board first you wig, second lag results, and third lead actions example: suppose your wig is increasing your salary from 30 to 60 that too within a year and lag is how many projects you are getting to work on and lead is your Number of Clients, to whom you are connecting now after deciding your wig when you measure your lead actions daily and increase it daily, then keeping scores will make you feel that you are winning and when you see your lag results improving then this thing will increase your motivation and execution
Discipline no.4) Cadence of Accountability people keep more commitment to work on their ideas compare to the other work they are asked to do hence 4th discipline teaches us to create a Rhythm of giving accountability means meet your team at least once in a week or daily or meet a person to whom you can give accountability of your work and a person gives accountability to his/her work to you, so small session daily or weekly where you can give answer to these three questions no.1) did you finished the work which you committed last week? no.2)did your commitments brought progress in score board? and last 3rd) what all commitments you will make this week? usually in these one or two work will come which will be the wildly important work which will help you the most to increase your scoreboard trust me if you do this simple thing by making a Rhythm and habit then this one thing will help you to fulfil your goals i too have noticed the power of this simple discipline in my life so don’t take it leniently now brief summarising of these 4 disciplines 4DX Is where you give daily weekly accountability of your score card and improve it by increasing your lead actions which finally completes your wildly important goals this was the short summary of the book the 4 discipline of execution
