Can you do just one more? There's a concept called plus one thinking. It's added to doing just one more of whatever you're doing. So if you're cold calling, it's making one more call at the end when you're like, I'm done, let me make one more call. If you're at the gym, one more set or one more rep or one more minute or one more whatever it might be. You're emptying the dishwasher, one more dish. If you're not finishing emptying the dishwasher, do a laundry, one more load. Just do one more. One, one, one, one, one. See, here's the crazy thing about one more. It adds up. If you work a typical five day work week, that's 220 days a year. If you make one more call when you're cold calling, that is 220 more calls per year. When I did cold calling, I'd do 45 calls a day. If I could do 220 more a year, that is like adding five days to the year. That's adding a week, a week by making one more call. So where can you do one more? Where can you apply this one more thinking? What is one more thing you can do every day or every time you do it? And what difference might that make to be just one more, one more time? Because here's the thing, we can always do one more. 45 seems like a lot, but once you're at 45, what is it to do the 46th? And heck, you could even do the 47th if you want to sneak in a second one more. There's no reason you can't plus one, you're plus one. Where can you do one more? It's the nudge, it's the increment, it's on the margin where victory separates from defeat. Think about that one more thinking, plus one thinking. What is one more little thing you can do? Not at the end, don't worry about it when you start. When you start, don't say, I'm going to do 46. Nope, you're going to do 45. When you get to 45, you say, all right, one more. Don't think about it right now. Just keep in your mind for the next time you're doing something. And you have that chance to do just one more.
