When someone asks you if you can attend an event or
party or get together, what’s the first thing you do?
You check if you’re free! If you’re available
at that day and time.
And then, if you are free, you’ll probably say
yes.
How could you say no, you aren’t busy
then.
This is where it happens! We feel like we owe
it to them to go, because we aren’t busy. But we could end up
spending that half a day doing something really fulfilling and
invigorating, instead of going to the obligatory baby shower for
our cousins friend.
I think we often feel like there just isn’t enough
time in a day, because we are giving too much of it away!
This podcast episode is the best reminder of how
precious your time is and the best strategies for deciding how you
spend it.
Let’s go!
Here’s the deal with how you decide how
to
If you don’t want to go, don’t go.
Alex Hormozi said-
Just because you have free time, doesn’t mean that
anyone who asks for it is entitled to it.
If you see that you have an empty day, mis people
assume if someone asks for that time, its theirs.
Its only not theirs when someone else has claimed
it
Which means that your time only belongs to other
people.
And then you’re surprised that your investment of
time has yielded nothing for you.
You’ve given your most important asset - your
time.
Your calendar is the best way to tell where you are
going to be in a year.
You can see by what you are doing today, what your
life will look like in a year.
The life that you are living today is a result of the
work you did 6-12 months ago.
Just like people want an immediate reward, they see
their current condition as a reflection of what you’re doing today.
It’s not - it’s a reflection of what you did 6 months
ago.
It helps you make better decisions with your time
now.
Going to the gym is the best example! The
change isn’t immediate. If you skip all of your workouts, you
don’t see or feel it right away- but you do in 6 months. It
also works the other way.
