A fun one. Your time scarcity is keeping you out of the life you desire. Stop saying "when I have time" You have time. In this episode, you’ll see me work 3h weeks during my busiest season all year, and manage my ENERGY instead.

If I gave you infinite time right now, you still wouldn't do the million things you say you'd do with it. Because the problem was never time. It was always energy.

In this episode I recorded on the go (airport, Ibiza, in between) I walk you through the reframe that completely changed how I run my business while traveling, and the simple framework I use to stay in the game without draining myself.

In this episode we go into:

🍑 Why time management is the wrong game entirely

🍑 An honest (and chaotic) BTS of a 3h week during my busiest season

🍑 Energy as your real currency: where it leaks and how to get it back

🍑 The generate/respond framework: the simplest way to stay productive on the go (FIRST TIME OUTSIDE OF EXPANSION!!)

🍑 How to work from your phone without guilt (destigmatizing it, for real)

🍑 Deep work deep rest, how to truly enjoy a vacation

Journal prompt from this episode:

Where is your energy leaking right now?

Not your time. Your energy. Name three things:

tasks, relationships, habits, open loops, whatever it is that is draining you every day.

Then ask: what's one thing I can stop, delegate, or automate this week to get that energy back?
