Chapter 1: Growth Environment × The Power of Mentoring
✅ Step 1：Place Yourself in an Environment that Accelerates Growth
There’s a limit to how far you can go alone.
Being in a growth-focused environment (e.g., the Growth Day app) or having a mentor can dramatically boost both speed and quality.
✅ Step 2：Build Growth Triggers into your Daily Routine
Watching a video on Monday morning (e.g., Ed’s livestream) switches your whole week into “growth mode.”
【Chapter 2】Deep Communication with Family and Teams
✅ Step 1：Share not just plans but Emotional Load
During busy times, it’s more important to share how intense things are than just what you’re doing.
Explain to family or your team: “It’s like I’m heading into battle right now.”
✅ Step 2：Prevent Emotional Clashes in Advance
Saying things like “I might be short with you” or “I might go quiet” beforehand can build understanding and support.
【Chapter 3】Redefining Schedule Management
✅ Step 1：Prioritize Plans for Family and Yourself First
Before scheduling business, block time for family and personal recovery. That’s how you reclaim control.
✅ Step 2：Stop Defaulting to 1-Hour Meetings
Meetings don’t always need an hour. The optimal length might be 8, 20, or 28 minutes.
Cutting unnecessary meeting time restores focus and frees up your day.
【Chapter 4】The Art of Deletion and Leveraging Resources
✅ Step 1：Ruthless Removal
In busy seasons, ask yourself, “Is this really necessary?” and cut low-priority meetups or obligations.
Use auto-replies or pause DM checks to reduce mental load.
✅ Step 2：Let Go of Work That Doesn't Require YOU
Preserve your energy by outsourcing, using assistants, or relying on delivery services.
【Chapter 5】Protecting your Time and Focus
✅ Step 1：Set Fixed Times to Check E-mail and messages （E-mail・DM）
Turn off notifications and limit checks to twice a day.
Random checking can steal 40 minutes of deep focus.
✅ Step 2：Adjust Response Speed Based on Relationship Proximity
Don’t rush to reply to everything—protect your personal rhythm.
Quick replies for key people; a slower pace for others.
【Chapter 6】Physiology and Energy Management
✅ Step 1：Understand the 72-hour Rule
Your body and mind don’t respond instantly—they reflect your habits over time.
Digestion, metabolism, and your nervous system all affect your condition 48–72 hours later.
🔍 Examples:
Staying up late tonight → Lower focus the day after tomorrow
Overeating three days ago → Today’s sluggishness or brain fog
✅ Step 2：Reverse-Engineer from the Outcome you want
① Identify your key performance day: a presentation, interview, big deal, or competition
A presentation, interview, big deal, or competition
Example: Critical meeting on Friday at 1PM
② Count back 72 hours → Start prep from Tuesday at 1PM
| Element | Example Plan |
|---|---|
| Meals | Light on carbs, focus on protein & hydration |
| Sleep | Consistent bedtime/wake-up, at least 7 hours of deep sleep |
| Exercise | Aerobic + strength training to build energy reserves |
| Mental | Meditation, journaling, or digital detox to quiet the mind |
✅ Step 3：Use the 3 Days Before as a "Warm-Up Period"
Build a rhythm that gradually charges your energy.
Treat this period with the same importance as the "main event."
Like athletes, the 3 days before a competition are for fine-tuning and finding calm.
✅ Step 4：Visualize and Record Your Ideal State 3 days ahead
Ask yourself:
What kind of expression, voice, and posture will I have that day?
How will I captivate others with my words?
How will I feel after it’s over?
→ Your brain will begin choosing behaviors aligned with that future state, and your preparation quality will soar.
✅ Step 5：Make the 72-Hour Rule Part of Your Routine
Examples:
Every Monday, set a “Friday Peak Day”
In your daily journal, note: “How will today’s actions affect me in 3 days?”
→ You’ll become someone who’s always prepared for what’s next.
✅Design Your Performance 3 Days Ahead with the 72-Hour Rule
Today’s meals, sleep, and movement shape who you’ll be in 3 days.
オLike Olympic athletes, results come from preparation.
【Chapter 7】Designing Time from a "God's Eye View"
✅ Step 1：Redefine One Day as 3 Blocks of 6 hours (=3 Mini days)
Time Meaning Usage Example 6:00–12:00 Day 1 (Kickoff) High-priority tasks, morning routines, exercise 12:00–18:00 Day 2 (Build) Meetings, creative work, connections 18:00–24:00 Day 3 (Integration) Family, rest, reflection → You can “reset” up to 3 times a day—always a fresh start.
Result: Create the value of 21 days in a single week (3×7).
✅Step 2：Use Hourly Alarms as Self-Measurement Tools
Ask yourself every hour:
Am I doing something that moves me closer to my goal?
What’s the most valuable result I can get this hour?
What should I stop or double down on?
→ Fine-tune your performance in real-time.
→ Boost your hourly productivity by 3x.
【Chapter 8】Anchoring Yourself With Inner Belief
✅ Step 1：Shift from "I Have to" → "I Get To"
Busy = a blessing, a chance to grow.
This mindset shift is a personal revolution.
✅ Step 2：Connect with your spiritual resources
Return to your true self through prayer, meditation, or nature.
Especially at night, go on a “darkness walk” to reclaim inner stillness.
【Chapter 9】Your "Message" is Your Power
✅ Step 1：Your Past "Failures" and "Pain" Can be someone else's lifeline
It’s your struggles and vulnerability that may help someone most.
Learn to see your story as your strength.
Thank you！
