The Increments: What This Is and Why You Should Care

Hi!  I'm Brayden Braun.  Interesting, I had to introduce myself immediately.  Why?  Well, you don't know me.  In fact, most people don't.  Is that a problem?  Maybe not at this point, but it could be. 

Imagine how redundant it would be for Elon Musk to introduce himself to you.  He would probably do so out of formality, but it wouldn't be necessary.  Because you (assuming you don't live under a rock) already know of him.  Now, let's go one step further.  Imagine if it would be redundant for YOU to introduce yourself to someone you have never met.  That would be insane.  It's possible though.  Virtually no one knew who Elon Musk was at one point.  Virtually no one knew who Vladmir Putin was at one point.  Virtually no one knew who Mother Theresa was at one point. 

Every celebrity I just mentioned has two things in common: 1) they are great people (not necessarily in a moral sense), and 2) they now have influence.  The former is the means, the latter is the ends.  

Right now, you have a lot of room for improvement.  Right now, your influence is incomparable to that of the aforementioned celebrities.  Right now, you can change that.  If you have influence, you can change the world.  So get influence and do it.  

That's what this blog is all about.  As often as I can, I will be posting helpful tips to help you improve yourself incrementally.  We will cover everything from setting your circadian rhythms in the morning to pushing through those late nights when your brain is half-dead and your to-do list is in the process of killing the other half.   I look forward to journeying through life with you!

The Sticky Note System Part 1: The To-Do List

  I still don't know how my grandparents did it.  They lived most of their lives without sticky notes.   It doesn't make logical sense to me, and it never will.   My grandparents must be superhumans to have survived like this.  If you aren't a superhuman, then we are in the same boat.  We must have sticky notes to function, which is why this is the first article of a 5-part series entitled, "The Sticky Note System".  Throughout this series, I will guide you in developing your very own comprehensive system of 5 different sticky notes.   Unfortunately, the first sticky note you need on your desk is relatively rudimentary and boring.  Nevertheless, it is vital to your work life.  So, without further ado, let's discuss the to-do list.   The to-do list should be a sticky note containing all of your tasks for the day.  I recommend a three-tier system.  The first tier details anything you need to get done that...
