BRX Pro Tip: What Diet and Productivity Advice Have in Common
Stone Payton: And we are back with Business RadioX Pro Tips. Lee Kantor and Stone Payton here with you. Lee, you’ve recently discovered a connection between diet and productivity advice.
Lee Kantor: Yeah. I’ve spent my whole working life, you know, kind of in the wellness diet place of business and also, obviously, in running Business RadioX, and I read a lot of books about both things. And I kind of figured out, after decades of studying these things, that each of those kind of things that people strive to do, they strive to lose weight and they strive to be more productive, they all can be boiled down to just a few basic tenets that if you just do those couple of things, then everything’s going to be fine.
Lee Kantor: But then, you know, there’s libraries filled with books and systems about each of those that have their own kind of little jazz hands and nuances that dress it up. But, really, the bottom line is both of them can be boiled down to just a couple of things.
Lee Kantor: And to lose weight, if you just eat less non-nutritious food and exercise more, you’re going to lose weight. And it doesn’t matter what all the books say. You can follow all the books, any of the books, some of the books, but that’s usually at the heart of all of this, you have to eat less and then move more.
Lee Kantor: And then, to be more productive, again, you can read all the books and they all have a variety of ways to get to this end point. But the endpoint always is identify the activities that are most important to you and then actually do them. And if you do those things, then you’re going to be more productive, get more done, and be more successful.
Lee Kantor: So, both of those cases, the advice is simple but not easy. And there’s been a lot of wealth created on dressing up those core tenants in each of those areas, but those are kind of the bottom line things you have to do in order to lose weight and be successful.
