Feeling overwhelmed, constantly busy, or like you're running on autopilot without making real progress? In this episode, we’re breaking down the ultimate "Life Audit"—a practical, step-by-step framework to reset your daily routines, clear out mental clutter, and streamline your finances.
It’s easy to let low-priority commitments, energy-draining habits, and passive financial leaks pile up over time. We share actionable strategies to prune what isn't serving you so you can rebuild a life aligned with your actual goals.
Yo, it's your man, man. Rahim, Ray CL, man. Have you ever been stuck on autopilot? You feel me? Like just behind. You dig just not feeling it. You ever been behind on your schedule? Behind on your thoughts? Behind on your money. Like today, man, we're gonna audit this shit. We're gonna talk about how to put this into perspective so we can see where am I not cleaning my life up at? You dig? Because sometimes your life is not clean in certain areas. Sometimes, like I said all fucking week, this whole week, sometimes that detox is not hidden like it's supposed to hit. That little room clean, that little thought process, that little thing that you are doing is not cleaning the surface. It's just wiping down shit. It's not cleaning the inside of the body. It's just like taking the bath, but not detoxing the inside of your body. Your outside smell good. But it's don't get back stinking because the inside is rotten. It's gonna get back stinky because the inside is too the fuck up. You feel me? Like you can clean your body all day, put all the perfume and cologne gone that you motherfucking want. But if you don't detox the inside, oh you're gonna smell all that old meat, all that must, because I'm pretty sure if you you you eat meat, you smell, you stink. You feel me? You're gonna smell all that shit because the inside is still what not clean. So today, man, we're gonna talk about a full cleanse, a full detox. You feel me? A full life detox. We ain't gonna get into the mood, the food thing, but I'm gonna talk about that in another week. But right now, we're talking about the life detox, right? The detoxing your schedule, your mind, and your money, man. Let's get right into it. Okay, the first thing, man, you wanna you we do every time before we do anything, have an audit. Like right now, people are auditing things that I have done. I say, I gotta go back and audit this RG so I can call you, give you a call back, okay? I say, okay, yes, ma'am. Right? So, schedule one, audit time and energy. Once you schedule that audit that time and energy, energy mapping, review your past two weeks of calendar entries and label each block as energy draining, neutral, or energy generating. So, what is just like once you know what activities you are pushing that give you energy, what activities that you're pushing that are draining your energy, what the pushing that you are pushing that is neutral. You can do some shit then. See, everything got a starting point. You feel me? The seed is the starting point for the plant to grow. The seed is the starting point for the things to start with sprouting. Just like with life, it starts with what? Knowing what this is doing. What's the purpose of this? You feel me? Is it draining? Is it neutral? Or is it energizing, right? Once I know this, the non-obligation, the non-negotiable cut, right? Identify the lowest value repeating obligation currently on your plate or either uh delegate, automatic, or decline it, right? So once I got these on my list, right, I can get this. I can decline it, I can automate it, or I can what? Delegate it. Give it to somebody else by delegating, automate it, put it in this system, or I can decline it and get it out the way. Right? So if this is not good for my time and my energy, it's got to go. You know what's gotta go. You know what part of your day you be fucking up in. You know what part of the day that you don't do nothing in. You know that. I know when I'm not doing something. I know, oh, I ain't been doing shit. I ain't finna expect nothing. Right? You know this, right? So when your deep work is protected, right? You block out a non-negotiable 90 minutes every morning for a priority project before checking into the inbox or social media feeds. You know what? I'm gonna do this first of all. I do anything. Like this right here is something I gonna do for life. I can do this for life until I get it right. You feel me? Because I just somebody is teaching me, it's teaching others. It's gonna it's gonna help my kids when they when they older, right? Like, damn, they you got hundreds something videos on this. Yeah, this is how I became this type of person. You feel me? Because I reprogrammed my subconscious on what I was talking about about and what I was thinking about. Like this, me talking to myself. I can talk to myself all fucking day. I can do this till the damn sun go down, you dig? But this is me talking to y'all and whoever wants to listen to it, right? So me just doing this is is is pertinent to my life because it it helps my future, it's gonna give me something to look back on. You feel me? And I'm and I'm weaving a screen like that. You don't see. You feel me? Like God said, you weave two screens at once, man. You don't put all your points into your job, even though you want your job, you don't put all that into that. You give it, you weave something else out too. God see your work ethic, God see what you're putting in, so you keep doing that right. And number two is get that mind right, that mind out of mind, that mental brain dump. I mean, every open loop, lingering task or unaddressed boundary on um occupying the band with on paper or free cognitive space. Once I done did that, once I didn't did the mental brain dump, I know what's on my brain. You feel me? I know what lingering tasks I ain't did. I know what I haven't addressed yet. Oh, I'm gonna get down on that. I'm gonna run down on it, but some shit just gets so cluttered up and and so piled up till you forget about it, till you forget that it's even there, till you forget that it is even a part of the the damn the damn equation. So let's get this back in the equation, let's get this back part of the damn nation because once I know something's part of the nation, I can I can do it better, I can do it quicker. You feel me? So become in love with yourself so you can do those tags, man, so you can free up some cognitive bandwidth. You feel me? Like digital noise reduction, turn off the ext uh extension push notification, prune passive um media secretion and clear primary digital workspace. Like, I keep this desk clean. Feel me? When I keep this desk with things that is needed on it only. This disc is only for good shit. You feel me? Like, once you know what your summit is for, you can easily out, but you get some out your way. You feel me? You can the input and the output balancing cap passive content take intake to create an international gap for the strategic thinking and personal output. So once I done did that, once I didn't know, man, yeah, I I didn't I didn't been on here too much today. I'm gonna stop. You feel me once you know you didn't did something for too much and too long, you're gonna stop. You're not gonna keep doing it, right? So let's get this right. Let's get this money audit right. You feel me? Financial runaway, let's get it right. You feel me? A subscription leak audit. This is the last one, right? Our money. Once we got our money right, you feel me? A subscription and leak audit. It's port bank transactions from the last 30 days and cancel each recording uh draft that fails to provide clear utility or personal return on investment. You feel me? So if I got some shit on my bank account that I ain't been buying and it ain't worth nothing, it ain't helping me out, let's get it out because the return on investment is is is deadly. You feel me? It's nothing, it's zero. I'm it's getting over. Isn't there's no return on this shit? It's I'm really getting they really taking my money. You feel me? So run away clarity, calculate each exact monthly operational over here against the liquid funds to know your clear baseline freedom metric, right? So calculate each monthly operation. So know your over here. How much money do I need to make this month just to live? Like, this is my this is my big thing right here. I know I need at least like $2,500. Do you feel me? Just to live. God damn, people only making $500 a week, right? You feel me? Luckily, you get into the point where you can make eight to twelve hundred a week. You feel me? You got to get yourself to the point where you can make more money if you know that this is not finna be the thing. You feel me? Got people making 30,000 a week, you got people making three thousand a week, four thousand a week, five thousand a week, six thousand a week. So it depends on your field and where you at. And you know your overhead is this, you need to be fixing on that. You need to be working on that. You feel me? Because you're working on that overhead. This is gonna allow you free up money. And no, making a budget is nothing but saying that you're free to spend something. So make that budget. You feel me? If you got a budget in me, okay, this money I can spend this. You feel me? There's still this shit for bills. But if you just study spending and spinning and spinning, it's because you're so behind on bills. It's so you because you owe so many people, it's because you keep on getting that damn reoccurring debt. You feel me? You never really had that money because you gave it away before you got it. So stop doing it. Get yourself out of the position of give my money away before I get it. I'm finna put it on credit. I'm bad, I'm I'm gonna pay for it later on. You don't need it. You feel me? Like, immediately route the reclaim subscription funds into a target saving goals, transition runaway, or a skill develop fund. Like, you need to get this money out of those places where they just getting ate up by funds. Nah, let me get this into some savings, you know, some goals going. Let me get some goddamn low. Let me get some money so I can go go away if I need to. You dig? Let me get some money so I can develop a new skill. You feel me? Like, I'll be ready to buy pay for a class. I'll be ready to shit to pay for information. I'll be ready to pay for things that'll help my body. You feel me? I'm ready. I'm in the store, I'm buying all the exotic foods. Like you motherfuckers going there, bitch. They want to go to the store and buy all the remix. I'm not going there, bitch. Buying no reminis on Patron, no goddamn uh Don Julio. I'm not. You finna catch me in the motherfucking fresh market buying the goddamn the highest thing that got in there, bitch, the highest drink. You feel me? The the cold press, the thing that uh real healthy. I don't mind spinning there, you feel me? It's uh it's uh I think I had to switch over from because I first I wanted the the the the high price shit on the dumb shit, but now I want the high price shit on the good shit. This makes me what now have to pay for health, you feel me? Because I'm buying things that are healthy. Now you keep on buying so much dumb shit, the exotic food, like let me get the man. You buying all that exotic junk. You feel me? The name brand junk. You finna feel like a chunk. You finna feel bad because you using your money to ruin you, using your money to not help you. You're using your money to make sure that you are um crucially and like critically dedicated to not having nothing. You making sure that you putting all you lining that shit up, you feel me? So you gotta real life, man, reclaim your money, your mind. Like, what am I doing with my money? What am I doing with my time? What am I doing with my mind? You feel me? If my schedule ain't on point, my mind ain't on point, my money ain't on point. It's a lot of shit that needs to be detoxed. It's a lot of things that need to be clean. So let me clean them, let me get them right, let me put them in a place where they can breathe and and not be congested. You feel me? Let me let my money stay with me. Let me stop getting my money and let it go. You feel me? Let me let my mind be free of bullshit. Let me stop watching so much shit that makes it mad or make it sad or make it feel away. You feel me? It's not making it happy, it's not giving it energy. I don't want to watch it. You dig, you feed your brain, you feed your eyes, you feed your you feed your whole internal life. Whatever, whatever, with whatever you watch, whatever, with whatever you get your energy to, whatever you let your ears fucking consume. So let's get a full detoxified schedule. Our mind and our fucking money. You dig? If these three not lined up, clearly, if we can't get up in the morning time and know what's finna go down, know what's finna do for before work and after work, before school and after school, it's a problem. You feel me? If we don't, we got something to say. I'm just chilling and get out of his way. Chilling mean I don't know what I'm finna do. You dig? You got a person to say, I don't know what's on my mind, I don't know what I feel like doing, get out their way. They got no direction. You feel me? Get out their way until they know what's going on. Stop being around people who don't know what they got going on. You feel me? And the next thing is your money. Get from around people who are broke-minded, get from around people who are just study behind on bills, who people who love credit cards, people who love things that are not good for them. Concerning money, mind, and scheduling. Get away from them, people, man. Y'all stop playing with our time, y'all stop planning with y'all life, man. Y'all do that mental detox.
