- A methodical way of taking practical steps toward your goals that explains how you unintentionally self-sabotage yourself.
I detail a system that divides the two parts of your mind: the planner or "strategist" and the "performer" who executes your plan.

In this video, I discuss the pre-execution jitters and nerves that often come with preparing for a performance. I emphasize the importance of understanding that everything feels overwhelming at this stage and that it's normal to feel nervous. The objective of this video is to provide you with the tools and mindset needed to take action despite these feelings. I also touch on the concept of splitting the mind into a strategist side and a performer side, and how creating simple rules can help you navigate through the challenges of execution. Watch this video to gain insights on managing performance nerves and executing your plans effectively.

I teach technical writing to 12th graders, and this will be the first lesson I teach this year. Students need to be taught these skills.
Hi! Thank you so much for sharing this! It has made my day to hear that these concepts will be passed on to those who need them most. 😊
Man, I the strategist in me congratulates your content, it is gold. I've operated according to this strategist performer mindset unknowingly in my life, this gives me the full detailed picture.
Message from my strategist and performer: Thank you very much. They worked incredibly hard to assemble this content and eventually get it out to you. They are really happy you enjoyed it. It's great they you have been operating this way, it must mean you have a very good relationship between them 😊
Finally found another goldmine Channel, thank you so much for this… exactly what I need at this phase
Thank you. It means a lot to hear you say that. It has always been a dream of mine to be able to help in this way 🙏 😊
I’m obsessed with your channel. your content is just too good. thanks for sharing it
Thank you so much! That means a lot to hear you say that. Lots more to come too!
Brilliant! I very much needed to hear this, and it couldn't be more comprehensive than this. Thank you.
You're very kind! I'm glad you've found it helpful!
You are spot on!
Thank you!!
My other problem is I over-edit my own work, which creates no net gain... oh, the last-minute excuses too 😮💨
Get feedback early and often. This way when you inevitably re-edit your work, it’ll already include the inevitable feedback.
Also: ‘completed’ beats ‘perfect’
Perhaps you can use the Nanowrimo approach. Allow yourself to be messy and then set up a time for editing after you're done creating the initial draft.
A great suggestion! Totally agree.
Messy first is a really good approach!
Same
So many points you're addressing hit so close to home, damn.
That means a lot! Thank you for your support, and so glad it's helpful!
just keep doing these videos your channel is needed, one of the best channels on UA-cam, no joke.
Critical action: get out of bed right away, without snoozing
Simple rule: turn on the lights and drink water as soon as the alarm rings to trigger the right behavior (getting up)
I'll try this out and see if it works. Thank you!
Love this one! I'd love to know how you get on with this, remember it can take a few attempts to assess it's "stickiness" Good luck!
Keep posting, this is great stuff 👍
As much content as I’ve seen out there - you’re presenting this fundamental stuff in a new way
Excellent job! 👏
Thank you so much! Really appreciate your support and kind words. I questioned whether my style would work on UA-cam, but it is exactly how I like to be and present, so it's great to hear it's appreciated. 🙏😊
Thank for speaking my language 👍🏻👍🏻
Just watched your other 2 full system videos and you give us another new one❤
Cant wait to join your course!
So pleased to hear you've been enjoying the content. 😊 I think I saw an Eric on the pre-signup for the course, which I guess might be you? I'm about to send out an update on it!
Hi James, I really like how you give practical examples of how you've implemented the "simple rule" system (e.g open a blank word doc.... etc). At 25:31 you mention that you had a worksheet/cheatsheet for this system. However I can't find it in the description of your video or any of the modules in momentum society. Is this for a particular reason or am I just blind ? :))). If you could let me know, that would be great. Thanks - Hugo Edit: Never-mind I realise the worksheet is in the knowledge to action course which is paid XD . Thanks for reading
Wow
Use not buying sugar products rule too! My brother uses another simple strategy for weight loss: he tries not to drink tea because it makes him want sweets :)) He also eats only three times a day, no snacks. If he wants smth in between he drinks water.
Yes! Love that you use the sugar rule too. And fantastic example with the tea rule. Recognising the resultant behaviour of an action takes this to the next level.
Hi! Just a question. What do you think about setting SMART goals vs creating simple rules?
Good question! I like the concept of smart goals. The problem I observe when people try to implement them is that even the process of developing a smart goal can be too much for someone when they are already emotionally saturated. (they are already looking for ways to avoid tackling it) going through the smart process and evaluating each step for meeting the criteria can feel like additional work. The simple rule concept bakes a lot of the "smart" ness into it without it feeling like too much work focusing on reducing complexity which is the primary objective when someone is emotionally saturated.
Ideally, you want a smart goal, combined with a simple rule to start executing it. the combination is ideal, but in practise people don't often get around to setting it up this way.
Air traffic controllers, teachers, & nurses are known to make the most decisions in a workday.
Europe has air traffic control towers that are run completely by ai now.
How do your clients remember the simple rules at the jump point? Do they repeat them out loud until they absorb them? Do they use visual aids?
Good question! Similar to the simple rules themselves, I have found the solution is quite unique to each client. We are looking for the most "sticky" ways to remember. You covered the main ones. The methods I see work the best are:
1. Repeat out loud, like you say. If the simple rule is concise enough, this should be quite easy to do. It is more foolproof because you always have your voice with you at the jump point; reciting even in your mind helps, but take it seriously; sometimes raising your voice/shouting to yourself works!
2. Visual aids: I see lots of variations based on what is likely to work with the person. It needs to be stimulating enough (doesn't blend into the background) while being convenient (so you don't miss it or leave the aid behind). Solutions I've seen for this are post-it notes or mini posters stuck on the front of whatever you need the simple rule for. (The example I have in my mind is on the fridge for someone stopping their evening snacking!)
3. Automations: auto alerts and notifications via calendar apps, alarms, and emails at certain times. This is more complicated to set up, and by it's nature I have found to be less reliable. it has worked particularly well for clients who already use a lot of automations in their life, personally or through work.
Hope that helps!
@@James_Lim God bless you for taking the time to reply. I hadn't considered automations. I guess it's something I could explore in the future. Thank you!
@@MaggieBernard3 You're very welcome!
Hi James, I really want to do one to one coaching sessions with you. I am struggling so much in my life right now and yet I feel so stuck and don’t know where to begin to improve things. I feel like you are the exact person I need to help me get back on the right track. How can I contact you to discuss further details about the sessions?
Have you had some tips on a problem with breaking simple rule and not able to come back to it? I had a perfect simple rule “no gadjects in hands when I cross doorway to a sleeping room”. Worked perfectly for some time - a month or so, then I broke it and can’t go back to that decision :(
Yes sure, I see this quite a lot. One problem with a simple rule that gets broken is for that period of time, it is no longer effective, like police/security tape barriers that someone has broken, once you break it, that becomes ok. You might need a reset. What I suggest is to create an entirely new rule that has a similar effect. Get the ball rolling again, and then at some point you can re-introduce the old rule if you want as if it was new!
@@James_Lim thank you, will try to figure out different one! gosh, it’s so satisfying that you understand what I’m talking about 😂
Talked about it in another (good!) planning community in my native language and they just didn’t get it. They were like “it’s a habit, it’s okay to fail, try once over”, but the idea is not the same. I think, simple rules are not like some complicated habits, they work on different principles… it either works great or not at all :)

Thank you!
