In 1950, Toyota was a failing car company on the verge of bankruptcy.

American automakers laughed at their 'tiny improvements' obsession.

70 years later, Toyota destroyed Detroit with a simple 1% daily rule.

Here's how Japan's 'Kaizen' method conquered the world: 🧵 1923 wasn’t an easy year for Japan.

The Great Kanto Earthquake obliterated Japan’s railroads:

- 300+ railway stations destroyed
- Tunnels blocked by landslides
- Tracks ripped apart

Kiichiro Toyoda saw the increased demand for cars...

So, in 1933 he started making moves.

Your brain isn't lazy.

It's being hijacked.

Modern productivity advice ignores neuroscience.

That's why you're still struggling with focus, energy crashes and procrastination.

Here's what research reveals about peak performance:🧵
1. Your brain can't actually multitask.

What you call multitasking is rapid task-switching.

Each switch requires mental energy to refocus.

In 1914, Henry Ford was 48 hours away from bankruptcy.

- Production stagnated
- Workers were collapsing
- Investors were furious

Then he made one bold decision that redefined American work culture forever.

Here's the forgotten comeback story (and what you can learn from it): Ford's assembly line workers were burning out at catastrophic rates.

12-hour shifts, 6 days a week in brutal conditions.

Turnover hit 370% annually—meaning Ford had to hire 52,000 people just to keep 14,000 positions filled.

The human cost was destroying his empire.

Modern hustle gurus glorify 12-hour workdays.

But Andrew Carnegie built a $309B empire working 2 hours a day.

His secret? Ruthless systems still used by today’s top founders.

Here’s how he outproduced the world by doing less: Carnegie always seized opportunities lighting fast.

In his first job interview, he was asked:

“When can you start?”

Carnegie replied with a short “Right now”

Risking is always better than being robbed of an opportunity.
