Key Takeaways from One Percent More'
When I was reading One Percent More book I started thinking of ways to improve my life a little more.
I felt like I was slacking on a few things that I have. I love the title 1% More because other books say you need to implement 9 steps to have a fulfilled life.
Let's be honest 9 is too many steps at least 1% more makes you realize you are not a total screw-up. You are just working on improving little by little which all add up.
Those other books make you feel like you haven't made any significant progress. Anyone can implement 1% more.
My friend Len Decarmine who wrote the book gives amazing actionable steps anyone can follow.
In all honesty, when I purchased the book I thought this was going to be hard to implement and only a select few.
I also thought I had my stuff together because my ego got in the way.
So I told my brain to shut up and read the book. Well, I have to say I am glad that I picked up the book and read it because I have been feeling better and significant because of it.
The Benefits Of Practicing One Percent More
When I was reading One Percent More book, I made a mental list of things I could improve on slightly. I didn't realize the benefits until I started to implement my list of things I could improve on.
Some of the benefits of implementing One Percent More into my daily life are:
- Improving productivity
- Improvement in health
- Improvement in organization and neatness
- Improving self-care
- Feeling less stress
Of course, depending on where you are focusing 1% will determine your benefits and how it makes you feel. These are just some examples of how I felt implementing them.
Real-life examples of successful implementations
When I was reading the book I made a mental list of areas in my life that I could improve just a little more on.
My emotions were pouring through my body like a raging river. Here is what I am currently working on to improve my overall well-being.
- Financial well-being - saving more, and learning more about investments
- Mental health - taking more breaks throughout the day, learning to say no
- Wellness - learning to go to bed at a consistent time, and how I can be more active
- Mastering time management - I am learning about time blocking, and setting boundaries
So far I am doing well in time management, and wellness, and doing better with mental health. I will admit that I am still working on my mental health and financial well-being. It is a work in progress.
Practical Applications of '1 Percent More'
When I first read this book I was overwhelmed by how I could improve my overall well-being because it covers many inspiring authors and their journeys.
They also provide great examples it was hard to determine where to start finding where one could add that 1% more in their lives! But lucky for you I will share with you my step-by-step guide of how I implemented the strategies in my life.
- Read the book from start to finish
- Review examples in the book again
- Make a list of the top 3 or 4 areas of your life you would like to work on
- Prioritize which is the most important
- Then go back into the book and re-read the sections you want to work on
- Put it into action
- Don't be afraid to revamp if needed
I can't stress enough how important step number 7 is. Don't be afraid of revamping if you need to. I used to write articles on my website three days a week but once COVID hit, I knew if I wanted to be a well-known motivational speaker I knew I had to get my voice out there.
So I started the Crazy Fitness Guy podcast to get my voice out there. When that happened I started publishing articles on my website monthly along with everything else.
Tips For Overcoming Common Obstacles
When you first start out implementing 1% more you may feel like you can apply the 1% more methods to everything in your life. I know that's how I felt when I was first starting.
But I reminded myself that I am still in college, I am running my business full time, so I have to be practical with my self-improvement list. Here are some obstacles that you may face when starting:
Expect obstacles to happen and keep these do's and don't's in mind. Remember Rome was not built in a day. You are working on the goals for long-term success not short-term.
Comparison to Similar Books
Here are some books that are similar to 1% More book by Len Decarmine:
- Atomic Habits by James Clear
- Discover Your Joy by Louise Pistol
These are some of the self-help books I have read. I will be honest I am a reader who likes to read fiction books rather than non-fiction. I am still working on reading more non-fiction books.
My mom gave me the idea of reading a fiction book and a non-fiction book at the same time. But I told her that my brain does not work that way. It is one or the other, not both.
Summary of Key Takeaways
Book Rating
I would give this book 5/5 stars because this book focuses on the 1% method vs. too many steps. Working on too many things at once can get very overwhelming.
I know because, in the years when I started CrazyFitnessGuy, I started and stopped many projects. When it came to the end of the year I started scrambling to finish those projects I started and then stopped. Note to self don't start and stop projects ever again, check!
No one should live their lives like that it is not a good feeling. I am glad I read the 1% More book so I can improve my overall well-being. Make sure you follow Len because he is always doing something amazing!
