we all want to be productive and fill our days with meaningful activities but the truth is most of us go through life living on autopilot being dragged from one thing to the next but what if you made autopilot Mode work in your favor here is where the pilot plane and engineer model can help the Pilot's job is to set the course and Direction these are your long-term goals and Ambitions broken down into daily tasks which ultimately get you closer to your final destination so begin your day by being the pilot ask yourself what's the most
important task of the day and this task should align with your long-term Vision you should spend at least 10% of your day as the pilot for the rest of the day you're the plane executing orders from the pilot getting the most important things done and more importantly saying no to things which deviate you away from your long-term Vision in other words activate autopilot mode don't overthink what needs to be done just get it done spend 80% of your day being in play mode for the final 10% be the engineer the engineer's job is to create
and maintain systems that keep the pilot organized and the plane fuel efficient things like maintaining our to-do list optimizing our processes and schedule and getting adequate rest and nutrition whilst also having a life outside of work by following this mental model staying consistent on a daily basis becomes easy sure there'll be days where the plane doesn't take off and that's fine as long as the plane is operating at its full capacity for majority of the week then you're much more likely to stay consistent and reach your final destination [Music]
