In this episode of Creativity Excitement Emotion, David shares what he has termed a “fine-tuning and micro-adjustments” approach. His methodology will help boost your productivity while improving outcomes. Introduction David briefly discusses AI and how many people fear the rapid changes and their potential consequences. David intends to create the Contrarian’s Guide to AI to help people understand why it may not be all it’s been cracked up to be. Why Fine-tuning and Micro-adjustments? David shares the story of how his invoicing system wasn’t working for him anymore, mainly because it wasn’t letting him accept payments in USD. (Free solutions can have their limitations…) Since there was a client who wanted to pay him pronto, David quickly replaced his invoicing system one night and got paid for the outstanding balance almost immediately. David began to see how a simple adjustment reduced friction and improved efficiency. He started to see how this approach could apply to social media, entrepreneurship, and beyond. Benefits of Fine-tuning and Micro-adjusting Reduces the stress of having to make huge changes now. Adapting to present realities is a never-ending battle for independents and entrepreneurs. But if you make it a point to fine-tune as you go instead of waiting for the inevitable, it reduces the overwhelm of being forced to make major changes later. Makes a big difference long term. Constant course correction ensures that you’re moving smoothly toward your goals instead of veering off track and taking long detours you may not recover from. Creates greater awareness of opportunity. An important aspect of fine-tuning and micro-adjusting is input. To be able to make the changes you need to make today, you must be informed about the changes that are coming. When you stay abreast of changes in the world, you also become aware of more opportunities. Helps you avoid the “insanity cycle.” If you are constantly fine-tuning and micro-adjusting, then naturally you aren’t stuck doing things the same way expecting different results. You can adjust to real-time information and circumstances. Big companies can’t be as agile as the independent or entrepreneur because there’s often an approval process for everything, and the simple act of swapping out one tool for another can result in pushback from employees, the need for additional training, the creation of new procedures, and more. Fine-tuning and micro-adjusting is an agile approach, allowing for gradual change that reduces overwhelm. Implementation of better solutions leads to better results. Is that social media scheduler slowing you down? Is it lacking the features you need to be fully unleashed in your creativity? Then swap it out for another tool that gives you what you need. This will lead to better results! Gain knowledge and skills. If you’re stuck, take a course! Not all input will prove useful, but the more aware you are of your surroundings,
