I'm still traveling on the road, and that means one away from home. It's very difficult. Thio create a normal schedule. It's very easy to let things slip behind. I'm about to step on a plane today that's gonna take me around 18 hours to get back to America. Gotta fly from here to China, from China to L. A X. It's a whole thing It's so far and easy. We have something like that in front of you to get thrown off course. I've been traveling how to travel to the capital first, to do some passports, stuff, to get the paperwork ready to go back and forth. There's always something going on. There's always challenges in our life was always something different, and it's very important to be efficient and effective with our time because we only have so much. I recently had a big scare with my eyes and started to think, Oh my gosh, what if I could never work again? What if I can't type again? What if I have to totally change my business model into someone who can't see anymore? I got very scared. I went through a whole medical thing, was a very big trouble for me, and fortunately, everything's okay now. But before I went to the doctor, I didn't know how it's gonna turn out. And so for a couple of days, I was really, really worried until I had access to a good eye doctor. And time has just been heavily on my mind, and we waste so much time without realizing it. There are so many things that we do every single day that are a waste of time and the more I get emails from people, the more I talk to you. Before I realized that it's really tough sometimes to have enough time to do the things you want to do every day. I have a list of tasks that I need to kind of get through for work. They're the tasks that I need to do, the tests, I should d'oh and the task that I want to do. And I have to fight my way through the 1st 2 to get to the third. The stuff that I really, really enjoy and what we need to dio is develop structures and ways to increase the amount time we have increased our efficiency so we can spend more time doing this stuff we really want and the stuff that we really should. The stuff that will help us build our business is for the future. Have stuff that will help us plan for the future. They have stuff that I'll just take care of. Our kids take care of our destiny, all of that stuff. So I started thinking about how much time we waste every single day with the greatest waste and talked about this before, of course, is where we watch television. There are so many commercials and even beyond that. Okay, so if you watch an hour of television, about 20 minutes of its commercials now are at least 15 minutes of its commercials. So at least 25% of television now it's commercials. That's a waste of time that's living somewhere else. Market to you. And there are all these other little things we doing throughout today, whether it's check email or playing a Facebook or playing on other social media platforms. I don't use most social media platforms for entertainment. For me, it's not fun. It's work. So I spend as little time doing those things as possible. Before I was working on line, of course, I used to spend time playing the dumbest games online, the dumbest social media games. So my to a tree time, of course, has changed. As my life has changed, we have these little moments that are wasted. How about driving to and from work? When I had a corporate job about 15 years ago, I worked for a large company I should drive to and from work. It was 20 to 40 minutes each way. What you spend your time in the car doing can really change your path. How about your time in the bathroom? Those who likes to read in the bathroom or listening to music? Maybe you've been, but she same job when I had that same job. Any time I go to the bathroom, the longer I could make the bathroom trip last the better. It's like when you really hate your job. You're praying for a number two just so you can justify going to bathroom for a little longer. I hate your job. You pick up smoking so you can more breaks. All of these moments, we could decide how we use that time to use the time for entertainment. Do we use the time for more efficiency to use the time to listen to stuff that's educational? What are the other things that I find fascinating? And I just finished writing my new book, Procrastination. That huge section about this is meetings. Business meetings, to me are almost universally a measure of the inefficiency of a company. It's really the best way to measure a competence health is to see how long and how frequently they have meetings. What I was younger and working as a volunteer in Wales in United Kingdom. What I was 2122. I remember one day we were going to do a school the next day to do a presentation like a six minute presentation and every presentation. You start by playing a little fun game because you're like visiting school when you had the kids to have fun with an eight hour meeting, choosing what game to play 1st 8 hours and I'm watching the people around me. Of course I'm filled with rage. By the end of the meeting, I'm thinking about choking everyone I can think about this. These people are the worst. And of course, when you're immediately try to leave the meeting, I think what, you don't care about what we're doing, You care about our business. If you tried leave, you're gonna get fired. And I was like, How is this meeting? A good use of time, People who are bad at their jobs. People who are inefficient use meetings as way to mask wasting time and so they will say anything and do anything to make sure you have this really long meetings as a total waste of time. I work for plenty of companies in the past. I work for a lot of different places with longer than meetings. The worst. The company, a really good meaning, is very efficient. It's very targeted and it's quick so we can look at not just how you use your time, but how your bosses use your time, how people around you use tide. And when people don't respect my time. I hate them. It's one of the few things that I am merely respond would hate because it's the ultimate disrespect. The most precious thing that I possess this time. Same for you. Your time is so precious to me. I work so hard to but really tight, Really good information into these podcasts. Make it really quick because your time is so important to me. Last week I wanted to listen to a podcast by there's Ah, I tried to listen. Other podcasts. I try to do that more and more. There's a podcast by someone else who's an author to podcast four authors. It was about copyrighting. For authors, that was the topic. The podcast was 86 minutes. Love. I listen to the 1st 30 minutes, and they had to discuss that topic yet, and it was just the host, just rambling and rambling and kind of filled. Knew like I turned it off. I was like, Why are you wasting my time? Why does your fight guys have to be so long now? Some people enjoy that because it's a weekly podcast. They won't have something really, really long for me, especially for educational business Podcast. Get to the point. And I tried to do that for you right now by just giving you a thought to think about. We often think I don't have that much time and we don't. But we need to start by thinking about time, inefficiencies and time that we can use more effectively. I talked recently about what you do when the power goes out. That's why I have my notebook with me. I have my notebook with me right in front of right now. It's not just when the power goes out, I know that I cannot crack open my laptop when I'm on the flight tonight, airplanes have gotten smaller. Or maybe I've gotten bigger. My laptops. A 13 inch MacBook air. Small. Okay, it's just about the smallest when you can have. A few years ago, I had one of those netbooks. It's like 10 inches. It was the nightmare was too small for my fingers. I tried that once. I tried. Really, really small didn't work for me. So I still have 11 of the smallest Benet, the smallest, of course. And you still you can't get it to open and then into the back seat in front. Unless you're flying first class or business class and then then you don't want to. You're so comfortable, right? So depending on how I'm flying, it's very hard for me to work on airplanes. And I know that hard to open the laptop. It's hard to deal with a couple of other things. The air on the plane. I'm sure I'm gonna have a cold tomorrow. The air on the plains it's so dry always gives me a sore throat. Already have a source of traveling. I've been doing, you know, being in the big city where there's so much pollution, so you need to think about and prepare in advance ways to adapt different situations. So I know Well, I'm on this trip. I have a couple of books that I want to read on my Kindle. A couple of business books, of course, a couple of science fiction urban fantasy books gonna try a couple of new ones, and I've got some thrillers I'm working on. We've also got my notebook so I can write out, and I plan to write out at least 20 new podcast episode ideas. That's one of the things I could do. I could do a lot of notebook work on a plane. I'm good at that. There's, you know, there's things you can and can't do in different situations in your car. You certainly can't crack out a book and start writing stuff down. But it was actually yesterday. She came to efficiency. I got a message from one of my coaching students about dictations off where I actually tried the dread the new dragon dictation app on my phone, and it worked actually really, really good, so you could actually take notes right in your phone. I said something to me. I said, You know, what? Let me just find my phone right now. Let's see if it works and tests actually hadn't used it in a year. This particular app, because I've been using it on my computer, I said, You know, let's try it And it worked really good. I'm so surprised we're way better than I was expecting. You can find ways to adapt whatever you're doing. So we want to be good with our own time, areas of time, their ways to their places where our business is waste our time. The problem is, we go to a lot of meetings and we get indoctrinated into thinking a meeting is the same was working. Meeting is what people do to make it look like they're working with or not. I've been to beings. They're very efficient and they're very fast. A really good meeting could be 20 minutes or less. Where Evan have explains what they're working on to every kind of has an assessment and it's quick but meanings that meander and that's usually like mid level and blow in the company of the bad meanings. We get trained to think that's part of business. So, for example, for me I try to avoid having meetings as much as possible, even phone meetings. If I hop on the phone or someone I can end up talking for too long. So I don't do that many phone meetings, too. We won avoid things that put our mind in the wrong place or train. It's the wrong way. Media and doctorates us. We talk about that recently, but so does our work environment. We get used to working in a certain way, and we don't use our time efficiently because we're so you start using efficiently. As a student, when I was younger, most teachers used time very inefficiently, I can tell you that the education system is all built upon dumb waypoints. Class length is determined arbitrarily. So they gave you the length of a class and a lesson. And you have to teach the lesson for that class. And the class has to be this length and sometimes well, actually, almost always they don't match up 90% of the time. The lesson can be done quicker. Like this is a 10 minute lesson that I've gotta fill in our have class and you just start stretching it out. You gotta fill that time. I was a very good tutor, was not a very good teacher in certain way, right? So I was like one of the teachers on TV and in movies. It's, like, so amazing about I mean, I was a good teacher, but not as good as I could have been because I was so limited. So I have to fill time and you're not allowed to go into the next lesson. You're only a lot of teachers rollers, and then sometimes I give you lessons too big for today and you have the same problem and you go, Okay, you got a fresh lesson when you get home on your own. Good luck. That's one of the reason why so many parents, you know they're against common core. Because of this idea. Every day the teacher has to teach a specific lesson, and it doesn't matter how many kids in the classroom. It doesn't matter what day of the week it is. The less has to be specific length and has to teach this message. And it does. It's not universal. Not every student, every class and in America learns the exact same lesson in the fixed amount of time from a book. It's the rigidity that bothers parents the most. I totally get that. I'm definitely going to be homeschooling. My kids and people started sending me really cool home school stuff already, like good homeschool advice I love. I don't know if you guys know this, but when people send me advice like that, I almost always take it. People send me advice about a book to read someone sending advice about two books. Someone tell me it's in your book yesterday or two days ago about a book to teach my kids to read in a book to teach my kids to draw, and I already added them to my Amazon wish list. If you send me the list a week ago, I would have ordered them so I could pick them up. When I'm in America now, it's, uh, it's a little tight to try and do that. I don't think I'll be able to do it this week to find another way to get those two books, but they're added to my list and I will acquire them. They're on my list of things that I'm going to acquire. I cash get. Think of the last time someone sent me a recommendation and I didn't do it. I don't get very many get one or two ideas a week from people. But if you have, like a home school book or something you recommend, I'll probably look at it immediately. A very active to that stuff, because I love the two way street of communication. But the problem with public education it's not the teachers, okay, it's not. It's the system. It's a system that says you have to every less SP a specific length. We have to follow these rules. The more the complexity of the rules are, the less efficient time uses. So as Children, we get used to inefficient time use. We get used thio people who teach a certain way because they have to. That's why some teachers get burned out after a few years. Every teacher so excited the 1st 3 years and by year 10 20 they're just not into it anymore because they're not allowed to do what they want to dio. And that's something that it's too bad. So I don't have a problem with teachers. I don't blame teachers and offer I've learned the system the same thing. A lot of people have problems that the police, it's the system. It's the rules. If the police didn't have to write a certain number of tickets every month in order to keep their jobs, if they didn't have to use speeding and other traffic violations as a form of tax to pay their own salaries, police would act very differently, right? They could spend more time solving crime. They could spend more time learning more advanced things. They could spend more time in the communities. They could spend more time using a time more efficiently. No one who comes a police officer because they want to pull people over. Okay, we never think about that, Dewey. It's not their desire. That's like the last thing you want to be doing is a cop. Everyone joins the police because they want to help people. They will solve crimes, right? They watch all those amazing cop shows. When they're kids, they're going to cover. They want to solve murders, all things that are wonderful. There's no cop shows about wanting to write tickets. Then they get there. They go. If you don't write 40 tickets run, too fired, right? And there are a lot sometimes are allowed to say that, but they kind of hint that Hey, you got it. You don't have your quota. Something bad could happen. We can't say what. So it's the systems we get put into a darkness into thinking certain waste. We grow up its Children thing. No time is really efficient. It's more about how use time. Same thing with jobs. We go to job. We have to work the hours when I used to work a job, but I was working out my high end university, worked with 17 best university America and they gave me a six month assignment. I fixed it in two hours. I said, Okay, give me the whole assignment. Give me six and I did it, You know, this will take you 3 to 6 months, and two hours later it came back and it's and it's finished. What you want me to do? Do I get the next six months off? Of course not. They had nothing left for me to D'oh! That's one of the reasons they were looking for a way to fire me. Okay? They were already looking for excuses, even before some of the other things that happened before they found me first block. When you're super efficient, people that are inefficient start to hate you because your effort shines the light on their lack of effort and universities are bureaucracies. Just like teaching is engaging in school has a bit of bureaucracy and university. It's a whole new level, cause it's larger institution and, just like local government has some bureaucracy. As you get bigger, bureaucracy gets worse. When you go from dealing with local, just state to national bureaucracy. It's a larger machine, which means the inefficiency goes to the roof. When I read that study published The Huffington Post a few other places, it said that the average person it were expense more than six hours a day. Playing with email. It's 80% your day. It's an eight hour work day. We're trained to measure success in time rather than project completion. So we have to begin to change our mindset and change the things that we d'oh. I used to really like listening to Howard Stern show for entertainment. The problem is there are several whether you like it or not, and I know that it's like offensive to some people, and it's not even that I didn't start listening to. Actually, when I was young, I was into it. Only after his on satellite radio, Clyde said on the radio. I was never in New York and ever lived in East Coast, so I would listen to it because it was Law. The reason I liked was that radio show is because it's like four or five hours. I would listen to it because it's so long. So I only do one thing to have in my headphones all day. I realized over time that indoctrinated me into a certain number of thoughts. It affected the way I thought about talking of people affected the way I thought about talking to women. He had a lot of mindsets that I realized we're affecting my behavior and I wasn't thinking about it. So I was using my time inefficiently. But then I switched to listening to my friends. Podcast actually switched to Listeninto Art of charm podcast a lot. I interviewed Jordan just recently and you're George. I think it's episode 1 16 or maybe 1 18 but every rejoining very recently he runs one of biggest, most Cecil podcast in the world. And I used to listen to it before I would go out, Go out. Sounds like I gotta learn how to talk to women. I don't wanna die alone. I gotta fear had asked woman on a date. And so I will listen to their show. And then I would go to a bar. But then I get there and I couldn't do anything because I had too much fresh ideas in my mind. And I would be in a listening state. See, Right now you're listening to me and you're in a listening state to transition into talking is a big change for your mind. It's, ah, transition kind like in the morning when you wake up. The first words out of your mouth are a little bit tough. The first words out of my mouth were to you this morning. I woke up early. I'm in the city by Billy here. Some road noise in the background. I can't believe it. 5 10 in the morning. There's still people making noise outside. But I wanted to talk to you and first talking and transitioning out of a listening into a talking state transition from receptive and projecting state. I found that was a problem. So even when a thought, I was using my time efficiently and Jordan actions. A wonderful podcast, very educational, has some really amazing stuff. I mean, it's all about how to be charming. Really, If you're in that place, it's really good. It's really into personal elements and really cool stuff. But I would be in a listening state and I couldn't talk to anyone. I would be hard for me to transition into talking. That's why I then switched to listening to Nickelback, and I don't know why everyone there like the bad everyone hates. I was actually talking about Fred about the other day and I said, I gotta double check. I gotta double check. Maybe I'm missing something because I before I'm going out love listening. Nickelback and I pulled up my mix. I still have a Spotify playlist of my five favorite Nickelback songs or not Radio one. None of them are one's from the heart of the radio. They're ones that are like, I guess, lesser known. I don't know, but they're the five right. Going out makes because they were exciting about going out and having a good time having a couple of drinks. And I like to sing along with them. That's the key. When you sing along with it, then you're kind of participating. You're communicating and it puts you in a communicative state of mind. So when I switched, listen to Nickelback. I got much better at talking to women. I got much better at having fun when I go out. And all of that effort, of course, eventually lead where I am now, where I'm super married your plate. We have two kids. My son just turned one. We're planning on having another child. I'm trying to wait three months so that I want all of my Children born two years apart. I want to have that to your separation, so we only have one kid in diapers at a time. That's the effort we're trying for my life, of course, which is? She's already pregnant right now. She I love being pregnant. She loves having kids. I love having kids, too. But I want to have like, a good separation, so hopefully I'm June around June. We're gonna we'll start having for the kid. I learned my lesson last time because the day she said Let's start trying I said, Okay, yeah, maybe we should have another child. She was pregnant next day, so I learned my lesson after you. Super strict, because if I even blink, she could get pregnant. Last time you had prayed on the very first day. So as much as we think we're using our time efficiently, sometimes we're not. Sometimes the things we d'oh actually aren't that great. So it's always the best time for you to listen to this podcast. It's always best to listen. Sometimes you need to be in an expressive state rather than a receptive state. I talked to someone yesterday. I was talking to someone who's another amazing students older than me generation before my greatest generation, not a millennial, and he only works in absolute silence. Now I listen to music about half the time and have a spectrum of what I listen to. I almost on Li listen to dance music between, and I have about seven or eight favorite stations. I listened to a website called Digitally Imported and it's just deejay mixes and the reason I can do that. The reason I do that is that I can choose what levels like intensity I want, whether are like, really relaxed music like background music. Have a channel that just sounds like the noise you'd hear between two space stations. It's like really atmospheric really relaxes. No drums, Just like, um uh So any spectrum you what, right of the level of noise and instrumentation you can choose. So I most of the time listen to music without words. If there's words, I get a level of distraction, so sometimes listen to super intense, no words. And sometimes it's super tense with words funding I'm working on. And sometimes when I'm working, I watch television and movies. But it's only one American specific stuff. Only when I'm doing website building, which is a lot of graphic stuff, it's kind of moving stuff around. Not when I'm writing text on the website or when I'm doing graphic work. What I'm designing images like a product cover, for example, what I make. Of course, I don't have to make an image that looks like the cover of a CD box for every single, less like 15 lessons, but I'm doing that which is repetitive work. That's when I'll put on television. So on Lee, when I'm doing the most repetitive and least thought intensive of work, that's when I do those things. Everything we do think about not just how entertainers you or how it educates you, but how it affects you and what I want you to think about today. The lesson. Think Lexie's, How efficiently are using your time and a lot of my family's lawyers my sister in her law firm, just to fill out a little form to say what she used every three minute block of time for at the end of the day, Lawyers love to bill clients. That's all about it's all about billable hours and something I worked for us cried for an hour. It's I work for his client for nine minutes. We write that down. You get billed for a three minute block of time, and this is why lawyers don't take long lunches. Now if you listen again, Jordan talked about this a great deal. If you're a rainmaker lawyer, it's all about bringing in clients. But if you're a time lawyer, it's all about how you use your time. So especially when your earlier lawyer and my lawyer's don't take long lunches because lawyers get paid by time in a different way. They're not encouraged to use time efficiently. There you courage to use as much time as possible. But I also always be working. So that's why lawyers have a slightly different mindset. And I want you to be that way with your time. Think about how you spend your time, always every single day. I'm always trying to be more efficient. I was talking to one of my friends who's intermarket as well in a different market than me. But we often talk about things because we live near each other and he was saying, Oh, every day, have it to do list. It's never finished. Haven't eternal to do list. And I was like, Well, I don't know what that's like. Thanks for telling me that because I have the same thing. I just released my new book, Procrastination, Which You Confined. It's a restaurant com Backslash procrastination book. You could read about it at procrastination. I think that's the page, right, right about the book. I've been working on that Page two and I have. That's why part of a new series that I want to write because it's shorter books that what is about 20% of the length of servant master doesn't mean. I know you don't always want a really long book, but I get a nonfiction book. Shorter for me is better than the shorter, the better for me 100%. So I've been thinking a lot about time. So I wanted to put out a book about time. I'm really excited by that book. I wrote it. I already I already had the outline written for a long time, and I just took an outline that was already heavily filled out, and I just rewrote a lot of it changed a lot of what was going on and just made a really, really tight I have from that. Syriza have the idea because I had a good talk with somebody, gave me some good advice I have in that series are ready about, I think, 30 or 35 topics for more books that Siri's. I'd love to be doing that all the time. I'd love to just be doing the next book. The next book, the Next book and write and put out a book every single day. But I can't. I have other obligations. I have copyrighting projects I'm doing for people. I'm coaching people. I'm still finishing 20 k day. I'm still finishing control your fate, the next two books in the Servant Master Serious, which are long books I could tell you Right now the 20 k days are 100,000 workbook. It's under the longest book in the series. The book about writing fast is also apparently the book about writing long and control. Your fate will probably really long, too, because it's it's a big topic. But I've said it. I wanna have a mix, but they're all the things you want to be working on. And so time efficiency determines how we spend every day Because of the end of the day. We have to have that moment we go. Okay, I got enough done or one step closer. One of things that came from my I scare is that I've been kind of breaking one of my rules. So the structure my day is supposed to be. I wake up at five AM I record to podcasts. That means I finished recording around Dreamed 5:56 a.m. at 6 a.m. Me and my wife. She gets up, and sometimes the kids have already woken up a depend. She's in the room with the two kids, and we at 6 a.m. work out never while we're doing a lot of Kettle Bell stuff. But then the kids really love playing with cattle bells and my kids And maybe all kids are like this are crazy strong. So my daughter was 14 kilos, and she could easily pick up and carry around my 10 kilo kettle bell. That doesn't really excite me because it's so heavy. Don't want to drop in on her foot or anything. But, man, she's so strong. My son, who weighs just under 10 kilos, could almost lifted as well. And he loves playing with the cat Ammo's as well. So we have shifted to, uh, doing a lot of yoga, and right now we're doing DDP yoga. Exactly we're doing, I'm really into it. I'm really into the Diamond Dallas page Oh, go program. And here's why he uses my time so efficiently. I have so much affection for the program because it's fast. So right now they're you know, when you get those, like exercise videos, they have, like, 20 lessons or 10 lessons and whether to impede any excellent standing. I've done a bunch of them you were after do repeats. It's the reason I got tired of P 90 is because the guy tells the same, like 45 you toast of state well, until the same goes for five jokes. Once you watch the video five times, you know where all the jokes you know when they're coming and they kind of start to make you insane. So it's hard to find stuff that uses your time really well. And that doesn't annoy you when you watched over and over again and the video that I have to watch right now, the one I would have to watch this morning by myself. Doing yoga on a wooden floor by yourself is not fun. Then it's 25 minutes. It's 25 minutes out. By the end of 25 minutes, I am shredded. Every muscle in my body is aching, and I'm so sweaty and unfortunately, his program There's no longer affiliate program, so I can't get a commission for recommending it. But I do use it, and I love. That is, it's very entertaining as well. The repeats don't bother me, just amazing. To me, it's so efficient. I love that because we were doing these younger problems. I don't have the ability to do like an hour long yoga routine anymore. About 20 to 30 minutes and I start looking at the clock a few years ago. Yeah, I would do our now and half yoga's. And maybe if I was a no good studio, I could do a longer session. But I just get bored and distracted. So I want to work out. That's fast and tight, just keeps my attention. And this really does that. We have tons of exercise videos. We probably have 20 or 30 excellence programs in the house. We've got Zuma one that we've got Pie Owens and you've got yo go Katamon all these different things. We have this factor with cannibals, too, from some Russian ones where it's like super intense, like Kenta Bell make Russian strong American Week. We have one of those guys was amazing. It's so intense and then we've got all the way to the other ones, which is like ladies teaching yoga like Let's do yoga and let's just burn the fat ladies and I'll actually I actually like those ones more, because again, it's got that intensity. But when it's too long, I can't keep my focus. So I love when people use my time efficiently, and I pay attention to that. So my days does that now then the problem I've been having is that I start working. Seven. I eat breakfast between seven and eight when they ate breakfast in my desk. Now because usually I'm just checking email and stuff kind of doing my day warm up. Then at noon, I always eat lunch at noon. So I stopped working and I eat lunch at noon and I take an hour off to kind of rest ahead. Arrest my eyes no matter what. I spend that our like usually reading or relaxing, sometimes playing with the kids. The kids are with me for a lot of the day. Anyways, my kids are almost always in the room while I'm working probably 80% of the day, someone's in the room with me while I work a lot being with my kids. It's only sometimes don't need, like solar time. But then I'm supposed to end my day at 3 p.m. Okay, supposed to work from 7 to 3 p.m. And then just stop. That's kind of the reason I want to stop it. Three is because that gives me an hour to hour window to get in the ocean where it's not too bright. It's not like noon when the sun's directly about me, like cooking down. But it's like the perfect test where I live. It's like the best time is the sun like not to rise up to in your eyes? It's nice, but lately I've been slipping past that I've been staying in working until way long. Sometimes I work till nine or 10 PM because I just want to finish projects. I'm working on to any different things. I overextend myself, and I realize it's hurt my eyes. So I'm having problem my eyes. It's the punishment for working too hard, not because they have to be because I love what I do because I want to take on so many things. I wanna be doing more things. It's too much for my body and my body is Give me a sign. Hey, you're not using the time officially. You're being too much. You're doing too much. Work yourself. You're pushing yourself too hard and a lot of stuff. I work on it stuff that I could just be a little slower. Like, I just want my book out faster, Faster, faster, faster. So you don't push yourself too far as well to the point where it starts to affect your health. You push yourself too far to where you're just taking on too much. You have these to do list and all these things I can tell you right now. Okay? You know, with every book I put out, I make a Web page. That's why I have booked for several. Master, I have orbit for making orbit is of Major. Got 20 Kate Day. What's 20 K pages are partially They're gonna survive. Starcom backs us 20 k, The pages partially done. It's a little bit done. The problem is, when I did book, I set the bar for myself. In that page is so long that Paige was so long that crash wild Web design, that's what I was going to switch to a new design was too long. I make these huge things and it becomes too much. So now I just released procrastination. That book, the page isn't done for it. If you look all that's there is a template and the actual cover of the book. So now, hopefully before this episode was out next week I'll have time to do the page. But the book is already out. I realized you know what, man? I got a 80 20 and sometimes sometimes you gotta put out stuff in peace aren't finished. I've got an email this weekend from a guy and I can't tell you how much I appreciate this in Chapter 1 51 of Serve No master, I promised a coupon for 50% off of words to profit mastery for anyone who checks the bottom of the page. And I forgot that I forgot a year ago I made a promise in a book and I forgot to add that to that page. And several people over time of email, me asking for that coupon. I mean, where do we promise that? Is that an email I was looking through? Old e mails was going where? No, I'm I promise that I don't remember that and he sent me the exact spot in the book. He was no chapter 1 51 That's why I know the number. They went looked and I, um, had a totally forgot that. So I then change the book page. If you look at the bottom now, there's a bottom right down there where you can click a button, send a picture of your review of serving a master and Emilie, get the coupon code. So now you don't have to wait for me to tell you it automatically checks it and does it. I set up a piece of software to do it for me. So it's really it's there. It's there in place. You don't have to email me, ask for the code and kind of make it hard. I mean, easy again. I forgot I made a promise, but someone told me, And now at the bottom of page in your late So sometimes things aren't all the way done, and this is again a 80 20 rule. How efficiently are using your time? The book still been selling grades Been very good but I always want to do things better. It's okay when you notice that something wasn't done perfectly. It's better to get stuff out there quickly and keep improving it. And I love when people give me feedback in love when people tell me about mistakes on the website because I know they're there and sometimes I forget I still need to record a video for the start page. I can't do it right now because I want to record it somewhere beautiful. And right now you want to see a hotel room that's exciting. So we want to use on a core level our time efficiently, both in mindset at work and our entertainment. Think about how you spend your time thinking about how I can use it more efficiently. Think about how you can be more effectively and kind of just spend some time assessing. A How much of my time am I wasting and is there a better way for me to use it? Have I just got used to operating in a certain way? Well, I see those people, especially people who are working in college, who read a book while they're at their job. They're kind of doing two things at once, and that's the only way to use our time efficiently. Think about these things. Be like a lawyer. Check your time. I don't know if you have to do three minute assessments, but it certainly will force you into using your time wisely. Now I realize that this ironic means podcast covers was a little longer than some of the previous ones, but that's how important it is to me. And I had just had a lot I wanted to share with you. So use your time wisely before it's gone.
