When we were kids, we were told to eat our broccoli first before we got onto the good foods. We were also told to do our work first, and then we would get to play.

This sets up a life long entrainment which can literally cheat adults out of ever producing top class work in their chosen fields of excellence, amazingly enough.

I have worked with a number of top artists and researchers, and to a man or a woman, they ALL would begin their working day with the most tedious, appallingly boring tasks, leaving the things they enjoyed doing and were particularly good at, to a time in the day when they were fed up, tired, and thoroughly annoyed by all that went before.

The result?

Their “good” task performance suffered as well, and in some cases, complete writer’s block and collapse of creative work ensued.

If you want to get ahead, you need to do your best work, your most important creative work, the work that is uniquely what you are good at, FIRST and before you touch anything else – and that is the anti-broccoli principle for adults who want to gain wealth and real fulfilment in work.

Today’s 60 seconds is to make a decision to try this out for yourself in a place where it holds true for you too, and look forward to the amazing difference this will make to your work.
