Productivity hacks I learned from an ex-Navy SEAL
This will change how you work

Hey Amigo,
I once heard an ex-Navy SEAL say something that completely changed the way I work:
"Slow is smooth, and smooth is fast."
Confused?
I was too... at first.
But let me explain…
When we rush through tasks…
Trying to do everything quickly…
We make careless mistakes.
Then we spend even more time cleaning up our messes.
But when we slow down and move methodically, we get it right the first time.
Tasks feel smoother.
Work flows naturally.
And because we're making fewer mistakes, we're actually faster overall.
This isn't just theory.
It's proven in high-stakes military missions, business operations...
And even in simple tasks like writing emails or managing your calendar.
My advice: Next time you're feeling overwhelmed or rushed, take a deep breath.
Slow down.
Move methodically.
And watch how much faster you actually get things done.
Give it a shot.
It might just change your life (like it did mine).
Signing out,
Joe
P.S. Have you Ever heard of a doctor ditching medicine to scale multiple successful agencies? That's exactly what Papa Sefa did, and he's my guest on this week's episode of the Grappling Growth Podcast.
