I Need More Time Every Day … Do You?
Here are some things I hear on a frequent basis: I am slammed, buried, drowning, in the weeds, running ragged, swamped, etc. (You get the idea.)
For the sake of maximizing time, this week's post is simple. First, we all have a limited amount of time—24 hours per day, to be exact. No more, no less. It can be our greatest ally or our worst enemy.
Second, it's easy to make excuses. The challenge is to change how we think about time. Don't say: "You see, Ryan, I did not have enough time to XYZ." Instead, say: "I did not make time to do XYZ." After all, life is a series of choices. We either define the moment or let the moment define us.
This is why some people seemingly get a lot more done in a week than others. It is important to note that this issue is one we all face in a rapidly changing, moving and seemingly impersonal world. Time is the great equalizer for all mankind. What do you do with your 168?
I encourage you to use your time in a deliberate and purposeful manner. Remember, when it comes to our time, we can't get more of it and we can't get it back. Have a great week!
