Warrior Wednesday: Say-To-Do Ratio

WARRIOR WEDNESDAY

If you’re new here, every Wednesday we share a powerful quote from a warrior or philosopher, and breakdown how to apply it to your life.

Lets dive in:

I was recently chatting with a friend of mine and he mentioned something off hand that resonated with me. He said his Say-To-Do ratio was a lot lower recently than it used to be and that bothered him.

What is a Say-To-Do ratio? Simply put: When I say I am going to do something, how often (or how rarely) do I actually follow through with that action or task? Ideally we want this to be a 1-1 ratio but it’s easy to slip up.

This idea has come up several times recently as we work on the Warrior Philosophy challenge (Name TBD) and the way he framed it was perfect.

(If you are interested in being a part of the first group to do the challenge reply to this email and let us know, we are doing the first one in about two weeks and only have 15 spots open)

Having a high Say-To-Do ratio has a really meaningful impact.

You start to build up trust with yourself.

This is HUGE as it leads to so many other positives in your life, like increased discipline, other people trusting you more, and getting more done.

The reverse is also true, avoid saying you’re going to do something and then not doing it, since this ruins your say to do ratio.

To have a high Say-To-Do ratio you need to get specific with the things you are going to do. Learning to say YES and NO and ACTUALLY MEAN IT is one of the best things you could ever do for yourself. Figure out whats important to you and cut away the rest.

If you want to improve your Say-To-Do ratio I’ve found it’s best to start small and build up.

This week I encourage you to choose one small habit that you can start small and build with. Train the Say-To-Do muscle and make sure that when you do something you said you were going to do notice it (Maybe even write it down) give yourself credit.
