I stumbled upon this question online and it intrigued me. How would a regular person seriously change their life in ten minutes?
Is it possible to change your life in ten minutes or is that a false promise?
I believe through experience that it is possible to change your life in ten minutes. I’m going to outline a really simple way to change your life in ten minutes that anyone can follow.
Are you ready? Here we go.
1. Turn off anything that could distract you
Maybe you get distracted by LinkedIn like I do.
Maybe it’s porn that you’re distracted by.
Maybe it’s that annoying smartphone that notifies you of everything.
For the next ten minutes, turn them all off. Put your phone in another room on flight mode. Stop watching porn and take a break from social media.
2. Sign up for a course that is linked to something you are really passionate about or would do for free
Maybe you love blogging like I do.
Maybe you want to start a business.
Maybe you want to change careers and become a stockbroker.
Whatever you are passionate about, you need to start somewhere.
That somewhere is usually in a place where you can learn the basics of your passion from someone that has done what you’re seeking to do. Don’t be cheap on this step either.
Pick a course that is taught by a high-performer in the field you want to be successful in.
For me, in blogging, I would pick a course taught by Tim Ferriss. For you, that course might be a course in finance taught my Warren Buffet.
3. Start the course and do it for the next hour
Not five hours, not two days — one hour only. Why? Because you just need to get started and we want to make the barrier to entry as easy as possible so you’ll follow through.
4. Study this course every day for one hour until it’s complete
Here comes the difficult part: building the habit.
Once you’ve got started, you need to follow through on a regular basis. Study the course every day when you get home from work. Do it for one hour.
Do it on Saturday. Do it on Sunday too.
Whatever you do, do it for one hour every day.
Even if it snows, do it for one hour. Even if your dog dies, do it for one hour.
5. Share your results with everybody (including me)
This step is important. If you follow this advice, you’ll change your life and all it would have taken is ten minutes to get the process started. The blueprint is really this simple.
It’s how I started blogging in the first place and it’s how you can do the same with your own passion that you want to chase but still haven’t taken action on — or don’t know where to start.
6. Stop reading articles like this and work on your passion
Remember we talked about distraction? Don’t do anything else other than finish the course you started by doing it one hour per day.
These six steps are how you change your life in ten minutes.
Anyone can follow this advice. Even you.

6 年On a lighter note : I am so compliant and in a hurry to change that I shut down my phone after reading the first point. Then I realised that nothing has changed, neither had I any clue to the mantra. Now I am doubly Haunted. No phone, and no clue as to how to go about changing my life ????
