The Concept of Anti-Routine

• The anti-routine is the most productive routine that is humanly possible for you to accomplish what you want.
• Champions do not have something that you do not have; they lack something that you have.
• You probably do things every single day that you should not be doing.
• The anti-routine is about stopping doing things that you're currently doing.
• Priorities mean two things cannot be equally important.

The Season of No

• The theme of the entire video is the word "no."
• You need to have a routine of saying no and an anti-routine.
• You can't say yes to everything, and therefore it means that you have to say no to everything else.
• If it's important, it means you mean to say no to everything else.
• You need to have a routine of saying no and an anti-routine.

Communication Perspective

• When people communicate with you, they actually have an implied ask within the communication from you.
• Most people have the time to reply and conflate the fact that they have time with the fact that they are obligated to reply.
• If you remove the time from your brain, you will realize that you are not obligated to reply to everyone.
• You need to prioritize communication and reply only to the most important messages.
• Communication is not about replying to everyone; it's about replying to the right people.

Stop Replying and Prioritize Tasks

• He stopped taking meetings from 4 AM to noon every day to work on priorities.
• Alex changed his phone number and only communicated with people he needed to.
• He said no to bedtimes that were different on weekends versus weekdays.

Focus on Execution

• Alex stopped going to events because he knew what needed to be done.
• He focused on execution rather than information.
• He worked for the first eight hours of the day uninterrupted.
• He only worked out twice a week because it was his minimum effective dose.
• Alex fasted one or two days a week to avoid interruptions from eating.

The Anti-Routine: Prioritizing Tasks to Achieve Success

• Deleting unnecessary apps and limiting phone usage can help increase productivity.
• Most people spend three to five hours a day on their phones consuming social media, which can be a major distraction.
• The anti-routine is not about adding more tasks to a routine, but rather prioritizing tasks and saying "no" to unnecessary ones.
• Stopping certain habits and entering a season of "no" can be more effective than trying to follow a strict routine.
