PUSHING PAST OVERWHELM With Ari Meisel

<p>What happens when you are sick? You know, for more than one day (for one day, you get the benefit of just being sick and trying to sleep as much as you can), like sick for a week? What do you do? What if you were sick and feeling miserable for a lot longer. You might get angry. You might start cursing the world. You might just give up hope. And what if it was worse and you knew you’re going to die? Think about the things that you wouldn’t do during that little time that you had left.</p><p>That’s exactly what this week’s guest, Ari Meisel, did when he was diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease. He realized that he had to make some changes. So he did. He started realizing that he could optimize, automate, and outsource all of his tasks in life and business to be able to get things done easier than he was doing them before and deal with the daily stresses of life. </p><p>As an entrepreneur, author, CEO, TED speaker, real estate developer, green building consultant, and productivity expert, Ari is passionate about teaching people, mostly entrepreneurs, how to master the art of doing less, while still getting more done, and he’s going to talk to us about that and share his own personal experience, so we can all learn how to optimize our lives to PUSH past overwhelm and have the freedom we've always wanted. </p><p><strong>Key Points Discussed:</strong></p><ul><li>The widespread overwhelm that people are experiencing with juggling their personal and professional lives (03:38)</li><li>Tips and frameworks for how to deal with overwhelm (05:01)</li><li>How extreme restriction helps people get their shit together (08:19)</li><li>How trying to get people to see what the future looks like with the way that they're doing things now works (11:00)</li><li>Focusing on the things that really matter by applying business efficiency techniques into our day to day personal lives (12:51)</li><li>Growing by offloading 70% of what you do today (17:01)</li><li>The majority of the things that you do can be done by other people or other things,
