Time, an elusive resource, often blamed for our unfulfilled aspirations. But is it truly the culprit? Or is it merely a scapegoat for deeper issues? Let's delve into the heart of the matter and challenge the common refrain, 'I don’t have time'.

We can always make time for important things

Zig Ziglar

  • The problem isn’t time, it’s something else.
  • Lack of direction, not lack of time, is the problem
  • We all have twenty-four hour work days, so making time for those things that are important is the solution

Are you making excuses?

Recognize when you’re making excuses and stop them

  • Stay active and enjoy your job
  • Find pleasure in small things
  • Inspire yourself by having a direction in life
  • Have a system to rely on when you’re stuck
  • Act during difficult times

Understanding why we are stuck

When we’re stuck in life or feel that we’re unproductive, we often try to force ourselves into action

  • We think we need more willpower or motivation to get going
  • Just because David Goggins runs 10 miles a day doesn’t mean you should too
  • It was because I understood why I got stuck

Where are you going and what do you need to do to get there?

If you want to change your life and make progress, you have to embrace uncertainty

  • You can’t know everything about tomorrow, but you can get comfortable with being uncomfortable
  • Pick a direction and start moving.
