Decision-Making Efficiency: Before it would take me weeks to make a decision. I would consider the decision at hand, then decide, but almost always second guess the decision. The impact of this was that I couldn’t focus on what to do next, or feel good about the decisions I was making. The cost to my business when I would take weeks to make critical decisions is unimaginable

 

Throughout working with Optimyzed Brain, I was able to cut down the decision-making process to within days WITHOUT second guessing myself and therefore allowing me to move forward and prioritize what tasks should be completed to support the decisions and further actions. 

 

In real terms, I recently pivoted my business to start a board & train service. This requires acquiring a physical space and securing a capital loan. I had a single meeting with my advisor and then executed my decision. I started with projection planning and set subsequent meetings with realtors and banks. This decision happened in a matter of hours. Prior to working with Optimyzed Brain, I would have spent a few weeks second-guessing the decision itself, which would have delayed getting subsequent meetings set up.

​

Increased Focus and Concentration: One of the biggest measurable differences would be my ability to focus on a given task WITHOUT distraction. Just ‘get it done’ effectively and efficiently.

​

Prior to joining Optimyzed Brain, I would be distracted often. Sometimes it's an email, a text message, or a noise outside. Other times it was notifications from Facebook or other software systems. This had me on a loop of becoming unfocused to the point where I wouldn’t be able to work uninterrupted without distraction or my mind wandering for more than 15 mins or so.  

Since increasing my brain performance, I have learned how to utilize the tools and techniques to stay focused and on task for up to 90 min straight! That’s a 500% increase in concentration.

 

A practical example would be when working on creating social media posts. Before, it would take approx. 1 hour per post (4 hours for 4 posts) because of distractions. It would also typically be broken up over multiple days because of competing priorities. Now, with the focus and clarity I’ve gained I complete 4 posts in 1.5 hours)

​

I no longer worry about the things I have to get done and don’t constantly push for more productivity. I’ve maximized the time I have, prioritized the important goals for the week, and know what outcomes will be achieved. This releases the feelings of guilt and allows me to actually ENJOY the time I’ve freed up by being more focused & concentrated! 

​

Efficiency and Effectiveness: The main way this increase in efficiency has shown up in my daily life is that I get A LOT more done in way less time. Where I used to work 50 hours per week, starting early and finishing late, often working into the evening. I now work about 6 hours per day (30 hours per week). This means that I get to prioritize self-care, exercise, and family time because I've recovered time through being efficient.

 

Contrast this with before, where work would be used as an excuse to NOT spend time with family. I would see the kids briefly before they left for school in the morning and would have dinner together (most nights). But there was little time for real connection. 

Before, I would work out 3 days a week, usually stopping work mid-day to get a short 20 min workout in. This was inconsistent and while it was a step in the right direction, it wasn’t to the level I wanted. I didn’t have time, or the energy to do more. I now spend up to 90min 5 days a week exercising and it plays a vital role in how I arrange my schedule.
