By Alex Mandossian on October 13, 2009

Deep DiveI just reviewed my  favorite posts for 2009.  In today’s post I decided to list five of them (see below) for a “deep dive” and content review.

Please comment and share on all five and here they are in reverse chronological order:

A daily “deep dive”  into material you’ve learned from in the past – blog posts, articles books and audio programs – is a great way to re-view and re-learn with a fresh and brand new perspective.

My suggested “deep dive” review (5 blog posts above) will take just 30 minutes out of your day, but the fresh new perspective you gain afterward may last you a lifetime!

My Morning Ritual: I do a “deep dive” into familiar content every morning which I call my Morning Review.  I do these “deep dive” reviews right after I wake up (about 6am Pacific Time) … before I check any email, voice mail or even plan my day.

I set a countdown timer for 30 minutes and then off I go deep into the material I’ve chosen the  evening before.  I learned this morning ritual from my good friend, Bob Proctor and I’ve been doing it consistently for the past 3 years.

Although the five posts cover completely different topics, they all had over 50 comments from readers so I’m certain you’ll find them interesting and comment worthy ;-)

After you’re done with your deep dive, visit my Fan Page at www.ProductiveToday.com and check out the video tips I post every Monday.

Your comments are appreciated and please share this post if you found it helpful.

    I have every note and every notebook I have ever taken from seminars I have attended, teleseminars I have listened to and courses I have taken (a fortune invested in my personal and professional development).

    It is fascinating to review them again and see how much I have grown. Even though the materials are the same as they were when I captured them in my notes, I have a new set of eyes each time I study them, because I have evolved and grown. I catch things I missed and can extract even more value by devouring them again. Thanks Alex.

    Live Your Dreams,

  3. Don’t know where/how you find time to be soo productive my friend … I cannot follow as fast as you produce your stuff.

    Period!

    I am still in the spirit of ThanksGiving as we just had ours in Canada this weekend so I will continue with my thanks to you – For you!

    Keep making a difference, Ash

  4. I realized I already commented on some of your posts. All Great posts.

    Your link for the HIstory of Entrepreneurial Revolution links to the multitasking post – needs fixing :-)

    Don’t tell me you were multitasking when you wrote this, lol!

  5. Hi Alex,

    Out of the 5 posts, my fave is the “4 Most Reliable Tele-Interview Questions” since you’ve taught me so much about conducting teleseminars as a TSS alumnus.

    BTW just scored my biggest interview acceptance yet from a major CEO for my “What You Know Is Worth More Than You Know(TM) Free Teleseminar Series”, so your teachings have been a great help.

    BTW, told Abby I’m sending you an autographed copy of my book’s print edition, please look for it shortly :)

    Cool idea, Alex. This daily ritual can keep the good stuff from becoming shelf help and help you master the material…

  7. Alex,

    You use this quote in your courses and we believe it applies to deep diving.

    True Discovery Consists Not in Finding New Landscapes, but in Seeing the Same Landscape with New Eyes.

  8. Studying -> Learning -> Teaching -><- Mastering.

    Thanks for bring this up. As we both know, we don't find mastery … mastery finds us ;-) … that is, after hours of studying, learning and teaching. The "morning review" is so important to me because I start the day with something familiar, not unfamiliar.

    I'm more confident with things I'm familiar with, so I start the day with confidence, not uncertainty.

    Thanks for your comment, brother.

  9. That’s my fave too. Makes interviewing so simple and predictable when we go in with intention and the decision making ability of knowing what we’re going to ask ;-)

  10. I fixed the link. Thanks for the heads up. I can tell that many of my readers didn’t bother to click that link, but YOU did :-)

    Was I multi-tasking? Probably. When I sit down to write a blog post, I ask myself: “What do I have to remind myself of most?” And then the lesson or the post just appears out of my consciousness. Multi-tasking is one tendency that’s difficult to overcome … especially when the phone is turned on, or when my kids are in the house. Thanks again for the broken link “heads up.”

    Your comments at http://www.ProductiveToday.com will also be most appreciated.

  11. Alex,

    Wow! I learned a lot going through the list. Thanks.
