What motivated Dan Martell to change his evening routine?
Every day has the same 24 hours, but most people only have two parts, work and trying to avoid work. This was my reality for years, 16 hour days, completely exhausted and my evenings were disappearing. But at the same time, I really wanted to be there for my family and find time to work out.
And it was only after having my first son, Max, and losing all of my free time that I finally discovered these eight hacks that completely changed how I use my time after work. So with that being said, these are the eight hacks to stop wasting your evenings and use them for what actually matters. Welcome to the Martell Method.
I went from rehab at 17 to building a $100 million empire and being a Wall Street Journal bestselling author. In this podcast, I'll show you exactly how to build a life and business you don't grow to hate. My bestselling book, Buy Back Your Time, is out now. Grab a copy at buybackyourtime.com or at any of your preferred online retailers.
Starting with the first hack to stop wasting your evening, use your feed to feed your mind. Most people will tell you delete TikTok and social media. I disagree. You can literally learn more online using social media than you'll ever learn in university. But the key is you need to learn how to hack your algorithm. And here's how to do it. Number one, teach your preferences.
Your social media is a mirror to what you've engaged with in the past. So if you want to use your feed to feed your mind, you have to actually tell it. So what I do is I actually search for things I want to learn about. Let's say it's AI or marketing my business or learning a new skill. And I search for videos on that.
And then I leave a comment FYP, which stands for for you page, which means feed my algorithm. Now, this isn't built into the algorithm. This is just my little sneaky way to hack it together. And it works fine.
flawlessly you'll literally see your feed change within minutes the second is unfollow accounts now this one might hurt some people's feelings but trust me on it you're responsible for the energy you bring into your life meaning certain people's account are making you triggered and making you feel certain ways so you might have to unfollow them if you can't do it because you're worried hurting some feelings just mute them i'm a big fan of curating and unfollowing it i call it a friendventory
Number three, integrate what you learn. So it's one thing to just learn something. I'm a big fan of saving it, creating collections, and then using that information, trying to teach it to other people, share it. I might use it in a quote on Instagram. I might tell a friend about a story. I might refer it to somebody on my team or a friend of mine.
The more you integrate what you're learning into the people around you, the easier it is for it to come back to help your mind. While most productivity nerds out there will tell you, get off your phone and delete the app. I'm telling you, use it. You just got to do it this way so it actually makes you better. Which brings us to hack number two of getting back your evenings.
