133 - This week I'm sharing the results of my time audit, something I mentioned a few episodes back. Heather's along for the ride, helping to make sense of the numbers—and the meaning behind them. Join us as we talk about deep work versus admin, time-scarcity versus abundance, and the Stuart Smalley-style affirmation we could all benefit from.
What To Listen For:
You'll also hear about big changes to the Elevate program, and Heather's new offer to give you a personalized, firm-but-loving kick in the arse.

00:00:00,090 --> 00:00:02,130
Welcome to the hair of the dog podcast.
2
00:00:02,130 --> 00:00:02,670
I'm your host,
3
00:00:02,670 --> 00:00:03,930
Nicole Bailey.
4
00:00:03,930 --> 00:00:07,620
And today we have Heather and back in the podcast,
5
00:00:07,620 --> 00:00:10,410
Heather is helping me go through that time audit that I
6
00:00:10,410 --> 00:00:10,830
did remember.
7
00:00:10,830 --> 00:00:13,380
I talked about that a few episodes ago while I went
8
00:00:13,380 --> 00:00:17,280
through the time audit and I found out some pretty interesting
9
00:00:17,770 --> 00:00:20,790
things, and she's going to help me come to terms with
10
00:00:20,790 --> 00:00:22,770
the fact that I have all the time that I need,
11
00:00:23,130 --> 00:00:25,260
despite what my conscious mind keeps telling me.
12
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:28,650
And we are going to come up with a plan that
13
00:00:28,650 --> 00:00:32,520
is going to help me feel a bit more in control
14
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:33,270
of my time.
15
00:00:33,390 --> 00:00:36,660
And I know if you've ever felt like there's too much
16
00:00:36,660 --> 00:00:38,130
to do and not enough time to do it,
17
00:00:39,010 --> 00:00:40,380
which I think is probably all of us,
18
00:00:40,770 --> 00:00:44,400
then you're definitely going to want to listen to this podcast.
19
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:45,380
All right,
20
00:00:45,380 --> 00:00:46,210
stay tuned.
21
00:00:46,210 --> 00:00:49,360
You're welcome to the hair of the dog podcast.
22
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:51,420
If you're a pet photographer,
23
00:00:51,420 --> 00:00:54,820

24
00:00:54,820 --> 00:00:55,730

25
00:00:55,730 --> 00:00:57,880
you've come to the right place.
26
00:00:57,880 --> 00:00:59,120
And now your host,
27
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:00,440
pet photographer,
28
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:01,520
travel addict,
29
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:03,830
chocolate martini connoisseur,
30
00:01:03,830 --> 00:01:04,910
Nicole Begley.
31
00:01:04,910 --> 00:01:06,560
What? Hello everybody.
32
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,540
Welcome back to the hair of the dog podcast.
33
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:10,680
I'm your host,
34
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,810
Nicole Bagley joined again by what are we going to call
35
00:01:13,810 --> 00:01:14,440
you today?
36
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:16,670
The mindset Maven ninja awesomeness,
37
00:01:16,670 --> 00:01:17,780
Heather Lahtinen.
38
00:01:17,780 --> 00:01:18,480
Hi Heather.
39
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:19,170
Hey Nicole.
40
00:01:19,170 --> 00:01:20,980
Thank you so much for having me.
41
00:01:20,980 --> 00:01:21,610
Of Course,
42
00:01:21,610 --> 00:01:22,240
of course.
43
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,020
I think I've now backed myself into a corner and I
44
00:01:25,020 --> 00:01:27,600
have to think of a new intro for you every time
45
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:29,970
you're on and you're on the podcast a lot.
46
00:01:29,970 --> 00:01:32,760
So this is proving to be a little challenging.
47
00:01:34,170 --> 00:01:34,530
You know,
48
00:01:34,530 --> 00:01:38,010
we need a copywriter just to help with my name's.
49
00:01:38,010 --> 00:01:38,160
You know,
50
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:39,330
our friend Kim copy.
51
00:01:39,330 --> 00:01:42,960
Kim gives me a couple of different designations and every time
52
00:01:42,960 --> 00:01:43,680
she does,
53
00:01:43,860 --> 00:01:47,340
I crack up like in the last episode or maybe a
54
00:01:47,340 --> 00:01:48,210
couple of episodes ago,
55
00:01:48,210 --> 00:01:50,340
she said something about Heather's chicken chapel.
56
00:01:50,580 --> 00:01:50,910
And I thought,
57
00:01:51,030 --> 00:01:53,220
she's the funniest thing I've ever heard.
58
00:01:55,590 --> 00:01:56,850
I love it.
59
00:01:56,940 --> 00:01:57,330
I love it.
60
00:01:57,330 --> 00:01:59,580
You do need to have a chicken chapel right there,
61
00:01:59,580 --> 00:02:01,470
and then you can have your office right out of the
62
00:02:01,470 --> 00:02:02,220
chicken chapel.
63
00:02:02,730 --> 00:02:03,240
I do,
64
00:02:03,330 --> 00:02:03,990
but you know what?
65
00:02:03,990 --> 00:02:06,420
I'm going to sound proof it because as you know,
66
00:02:06,420 --> 00:02:07,800
when recording podcasts,
67
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:11,760
you need to have a fairly silent environment.
68
00:02:11,850 --> 00:02:13,590
And I live in,
69
00:02:14,070 --> 00:02:15,990
in a home that is not silent at all.
70
00:02:17,700 --> 00:02:18,060
That is,
71
00:02:18,210 --> 00:02:19,350
that is an understatement.
72
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:22,230
So anyway,
73
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:26,430
today we are going to follow up with some time audit
74
00:02:26,430 --> 00:02:29,520
stuff. Do you guys remember episode number 1 27?
75
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:30,600
So not too far back.
76
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:34,890
It was released on February 1st.
77
00:02:34,890 --> 00:02:37,620
And that was an episode that I did to help you
78
00:02:37,620 --> 00:02:38,100
find more time.
79
00:02:38,100 --> 00:02:41,010
That was inspired by one of the people that Heather and
80
00:02:41,010 --> 00:02:43,170
I love to read and listen to John Aycock.
81
00:02:43,260 --> 00:02:47,700
He had a podcast where he recommended doing a very similar
82
00:02:47,700 --> 00:02:50,130
exercise and yeah,
83
00:02:50,130 --> 00:02:50,910
I referenced it there.
84
00:02:50,910 --> 00:02:51,840
So if you want to listen to his,
85
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:53,910
go listen to 1 27 and then I'll tell you which
86
00:02:53,910 --> 00:02:55,020
one his is and that one,
87
00:02:55,020 --> 00:02:55,830
cause now I don't remember,
88
00:02:55,890 --> 00:02:57,210
but it's John ACOF.
89
00:02:57,510 --> 00:02:58,110
He was awesome.
90
00:02:58,110 --> 00:03:01,240
And it was basically stating that if you want to get
91
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,880
more, more done,
92
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:05,020
you need to track your time.
93
00:03:05,050 --> 00:03:08,740
And this was really important over the past couple of weeks,
94
00:03:08,920 --> 00:03:09,820
past couple of months,
95
00:03:09,820 --> 00:03:14,230
really? Because we've had some big projects going on down here
96
00:03:14,230 --> 00:03:15,730
at H O D H Q.
97
00:03:16,330 --> 00:03:17,500
Yeah. You sure have.
98
00:03:17,500 --> 00:03:20,500
So tell us about you just recently had a very big
99
00:03:20,530 --> 00:03:21,340
elevate launch.
100
00:03:21,340 --> 00:03:22,090
Is that correct?
101
00:03:22,300 --> 00:03:23,530
It is correct.
102
00:03:23,530 --> 00:03:23,860
And that's,
103
00:03:23,860 --> 00:03:27,670
what's been keeping us so busy because we started elevate.
104
00:03:27,970 --> 00:03:30,160
You have been part of it from the beginning about two
105
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,110
years ago and Derek,
106
00:03:32,140 --> 00:03:33,250
can you believe it's been two years?
107
00:03:33,250 --> 00:03:33,610
First of all,
108
00:03:33,610 --> 00:03:34,870
I cannot no,
109
00:03:35,020 --> 00:03:36,220
no time flies.
110
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,160
So we started it two years ago and at that time
111
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:43,210
we started it as a place to help establish pet photographers,
112
00:03:43,210 --> 00:03:45,160
kind of scale their business and grow.
113
00:03:45,220 --> 00:03:46,960
And it was amazing.
114
00:03:47,050 --> 00:03:48,310
And then we realized,
115
00:03:48,340 --> 00:03:48,760
oh my gosh,
116
00:03:48,790 --> 00:03:51,460
there's a lot of people that are still in that business
117
00:03:51,460 --> 00:03:54,610
building phase that really need the help as well.
118
00:03:54,910 --> 00:03:58,240
So we started to become more inclusive in that elevate group
119
00:03:58,360 --> 00:03:59,410
for both sets.
120
00:03:59,470 --> 00:04:00,430
And you know,
121
00:04:00,430 --> 00:04:02,950
over the two years we test this different things and learned
122
00:04:02,950 --> 00:04:05,980
some different things and found out what our students really needed
123
00:04:05,980 --> 00:04:09,790
from us and how we can make it better because we're
124
00:04:09,790 --> 00:04:12,430
always trying to improve all of the things and get people
125
00:04:12,430 --> 00:04:15,190
results in a more streamlined fashion.
126
00:04:15,580 --> 00:04:18,700
And we ended up swapping well,
127
00:04:18,970 --> 00:04:21,490
breaking down the elevate program into two sections,
128
00:04:21,490 --> 00:04:22,750
we have elevate masters.
129
00:04:22,750 --> 00:04:23,020
What's your,
130
00:04:23,020 --> 00:04:27,400
for those established pet photographers that are already in business already
131
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:28,150
taking clients.
132
00:04:28,180 --> 00:04:29,170
They're looking to scale,
133
00:04:29,170 --> 00:04:30,460
they're looking to earn more.
134
00:04:30,610 --> 00:04:32,170
They're looking to up their marketing game.
135
00:04:32,470 --> 00:04:35,440
And then we have elevate foundations,
136
00:04:35,860 --> 00:04:38,680
which is for those pet photographers that are building their business
137
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:40,570
and looking for their first few clients.
138
00:04:40,660 --> 00:04:42,700
So we've spent,
139
00:04:42,730 --> 00:04:43,210
oh my gosh,
140
00:04:43,210 --> 00:04:46,210
there's been a lot of conversations between me and you and
141
00:04:46,210 --> 00:04:47,560
me and the elevate coaches,
142
00:04:47,590 --> 00:04:49,810
trying to figure out what this looks like over the past
143
00:04:49,810 --> 00:04:50,470
six months.
144
00:04:50,590 --> 00:04:52,420
And then we finally got clear on it.
145
00:04:52,870 --> 00:04:54,700
And then when we did,
146
00:04:54,700 --> 00:04:57,880
I had done this training and elevate last year about the
147
00:04:57,880 --> 00:04:59,170
six pillars of business.
148
00:04:59,230 --> 00:05:00,310
So your legal,
149
00:05:00,310 --> 00:05:00,850
your admin,
150
00:05:00,850 --> 00:05:01,480
your branding,
151
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:02,050
your website,
152
00:05:02,050 --> 00:05:02,800
your pricing,
153
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:04,660
your client workflow and your marketing.
154
00:05:04,810 --> 00:05:07,630
Like our businesses don't work with all without all of those
155
00:05:07,630 --> 00:05:11,590
pillars. And I had this idea to like break this down
156
00:05:12,100 --> 00:05:18,430
into a literal step by step roadmap with like two to
157
00:05:18,430 --> 00:05:21,730
three minute videos where people no longer,
158
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,580
no longer will any of my elevate people sit down and
159
00:05:24,580 --> 00:05:25,060
be like,
160
00:05:25,870 --> 00:05:26,860
I need to work on my business.
161
00:05:26,860 --> 00:05:27,130
All right,
162
00:05:27,130 --> 00:05:27,400
I'm here.
163
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:28,360
I'm gonna work on my business.
164
00:05:29,410 --> 00:05:29,980
What should I do?
165
00:05:30,970 --> 00:05:34,300
Because what to do right here,
166
00:05:34,300 --> 00:05:35,410
there's a list like,
167
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,110
boom, get this list done and your business will be open
168
00:05:38,110 --> 00:05:39,190
and then we can start marketing.
169
00:05:39,220 --> 00:05:40,300
So anyway,
170
00:05:40,810 --> 00:05:42,760
I had to create all that cause it was all in
171
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:43,270
my head.
172
00:05:43,510 --> 00:05:46,930
So that's what I've been doing over the past two months
173
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:48,580
is recording,
174
00:05:48,610 --> 00:05:53,410
recording, figuring out the best way to teach different things.
175
00:05:53,410 --> 00:05:55,090
And man,
176
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:56,230
it's been fantastic,
177
00:05:56,260 --> 00:06:01,280
but it also led to a little bit of quote overwhelm
178
00:06:01,610 --> 00:06:03,080
or stress stress.
179
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,420
It led to a little bit of stress because,
180
00:06:05,420 --> 00:06:09,710
and a feeling of not having enough time and the feeling
181
00:06:09,740 --> 00:06:12,710
of I'm never getting this done and the feeling of,
182
00:06:12,740 --> 00:06:13,250
oh my God,
183
00:06:13,250 --> 00:06:14,450
I have 37,000
184
00:06:14,450 --> 00:06:15,140
open loops.
185
00:06:15,170 --> 00:06:16,550
And the feeling of,
186
00:06:16,790 --> 00:06:18,860
I mean like overwhelms here,
187
00:06:18,860 --> 00:06:19,970
I know it's not overwhelmed,
188
00:06:19,970 --> 00:06:21,200
but it's pretty darn close.
189
00:06:21,770 --> 00:06:22,610
Yeah. You,
190
00:06:22,700 --> 00:06:22,970
you know,
191
00:06:22,970 --> 00:06:27,230
what's so interesting about this is you definitely have scarcity around
192
00:06:27,230 --> 00:06:29,180
time. It's Gotten better,
193
00:06:29,180 --> 00:06:30,350
but oh my gosh.
194
00:06:30,770 --> 00:06:31,540
Yeah. When,
195
00:06:31,540 --> 00:06:33,830
when you and I talk about money in all of these
196
00:06:33,830 --> 00:06:34,850
money episodes,
197
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:38,660
you are 100% ahead of the game in terms of abundance.
198
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:40,630
Like a little ahead of me.
199
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:42,740
And like I still have scarcity around money is what I'm
200
00:06:42,740 --> 00:06:45,110
saying. But when it comes to time where the opposite.
201
00:06:45,380 --> 00:06:46,970
Yeah. I own time.
202
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,870
Yeah. I'm on borrowed time.
203
00:06:50,870 --> 00:06:51,140
I'm like,
204
00:06:51,980 --> 00:06:53,720
I know there's not enough time.
205
00:06:53,780 --> 00:06:56,600
And I've been trying to catch myself.
206
00:06:56,630 --> 00:06:57,860
How often?
207
00:06:58,910 --> 00:06:59,450
Oh man,
208
00:06:59,450 --> 00:07:01,070
where do I even read that?
209
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:01,940
You read it,
210
00:07:02,180 --> 00:07:03,200
Switching dots,
211
00:07:03,410 --> 00:07:04,790
playing in time and space.
212
00:07:05,030 --> 00:07:05,840
Yes, it,
213
00:07:06,410 --> 00:07:08,720
yeah. It goes like this.
214
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:09,470
He says,
215
00:07:09,740 --> 00:07:11,840
when you feel rushed or you feel like you don't have
216
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:12,440
enough time,
217
00:07:12,470 --> 00:07:13,850
you repeat this to yourself.
218
00:07:13,940 --> 00:07:18,290
Time is an illusion I am where time comes from and
219
00:07:18,290 --> 00:07:20,060
I can create more time as needed.
220
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,930
Time is an illusion I am where time comes from.
221
00:07:24,110 --> 00:07:25,880
And I love that because now you take ownership.
222
00:07:26,030 --> 00:07:30,050
He gave us this little experiment to try whenever you're driving
223
00:07:30,050 --> 00:07:32,360
somewhere, maybe to an appointment or you need to be somewhere
224
00:07:32,390 --> 00:07:33,830
and you think you might be late,
225
00:07:34,070 --> 00:07:34,340
you know,
226
00:07:34,340 --> 00:07:37,130
maybe there's traffic or you just left later than you intended
227
00:07:37,130 --> 00:07:39,260
whatever. To repeat this,
228
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,300
to say things like I create time,
229
00:07:41,300 --> 00:07:42,230
time is illusion.
230
00:07:42,290 --> 00:07:45,140
I'm where time comes from to not look at the clock,
231
00:07:45,170 --> 00:07:47,810
just kind of take a deep breath and relax into it.
232
00:07:47,810 --> 00:07:50,390
So release the stress and you will be shocked at how
233
00:07:50,450 --> 00:07:55,040
often you arrive either on time or more often than not
234
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:56,810
early. Even when,
235
00:07:56,820 --> 00:07:58,130
according to your GPS,
236
00:07:58,130 --> 00:08:00,050
you might have been running late.
237
00:08:00,230 --> 00:08:01,520
I actually did this recently.
238
00:08:01,550 --> 00:08:04,640
I was at yam camera visiting our friends and I had
239
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:08,420
a doctor's appointment about an hour away and I left on
240
00:08:08,420 --> 00:08:10,850
time, but there was a little bit of strange traffic or
241
00:08:10,850 --> 00:08:11,780
construction I think.
242
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:15,560
And I started to feel a little scarce.
243
00:08:16,220 --> 00:08:18,020
Like I might be late and I hate,
244
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:19,220
hate, hate being.
245
00:08:19,460 --> 00:08:21,920
I would much rather sit in that office and have them
246
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:23,300
wait for me than the opposite,
247
00:08:23,780 --> 00:08:24,860
or have me wait for them.
248
00:08:24,860 --> 00:08:25,880
Sorry. Then the opposite.
249
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:28,310
So I said to myself,
250
00:08:28,730 --> 00:08:29,600
time is illusion.
251
00:08:29,660 --> 00:08:30,950
I'm where time comes from.
252
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:31,970
I own time.
253
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:32,900
I can make time.
254
00:08:32,900 --> 00:08:33,620
I create time.
255
00:08:33,860 --> 00:08:36,590
I was just listening to some podcasts and I was actually
256
00:08:36,590 --> 00:08:38,540
early. I arrived early to that appointment,
257
00:08:38,750 --> 00:08:41,330
but at one point my GPS would have said the opposite
258
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:42,680
and it's just fun.
259
00:08:42,680 --> 00:08:42,890
I mean,
260
00:08:42,890 --> 00:08:43,730
what does it hurt to try?
261
00:08:43,870 --> 00:08:44,680
Yeah. Yeah.
262
00:08:44,690 --> 00:08:46,580
Well, after I read that and I share it with you,
263
00:08:46,580 --> 00:08:46,850
I'm like,
264
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:47,480
oh my gosh,
265
00:08:47,510 --> 00:08:48,950
major light bulb because,
266
00:08:48,950 --> 00:08:50,090
and I've gotten out of the habit.
267
00:08:50,090 --> 00:08:52,310
So I'm just making myself a little sticky note.
268
00:08:52,310 --> 00:08:53,600
That's going to go right here on my computer.
269
00:08:53,630 --> 00:09:01,170
And I realized how often my subconscious soundtrack in my brain
270
00:09:01,470 --> 00:09:03,210
was a,
271
00:09:03,210 --> 00:09:03,900
you don't have time.
272
00:09:04,680 --> 00:09:05,790
Like there's not enough.
273
00:09:05,820 --> 00:09:06,240
Oh my God,
274
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:07,320
there's no way you're getting this done.
275
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:08,580
What the hell are you thinking?
276
00:09:08,670 --> 00:09:10,860
Wow, No way too much.
277
00:09:10,860 --> 00:09:12,000
Here you go again.
278
00:09:12,030 --> 00:09:12,900
Yeah. Yeah.
279
00:09:13,410 --> 00:09:15,030
So yeah,
280
00:09:15,380 --> 00:09:18,330
been catching that and then I restate,
281
00:09:18,420 --> 00:09:18,900
you know,
282
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:19,860
that. Nope,
283
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:20,430
they're all,
284
00:09:20,460 --> 00:09:22,440
there's always plenty of time that,
285
00:09:22,560 --> 00:09:23,010
you know,
286
00:09:23,370 --> 00:09:23,910
there is no,
287
00:09:23,910 --> 00:09:24,120
you know,
288
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:27,120
there's always plenty of time that I can make time and
289
00:09:27,270 --> 00:09:28,380
it really did help.
290
00:09:28,410 --> 00:09:31,140
It really did help because I was able to get so
291
00:09:31,140 --> 00:09:32,610
much more done even with,
292
00:09:32,730 --> 00:09:33,210
oh my gosh.
293
00:09:33,210 --> 00:09:35,520
So many curve balls thrown at me in February.
294
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,430
If you guys have seen some recent biz tips Thursday,
295
00:09:38,430 --> 00:09:40,730
you know that I'm not going to say it now because
296
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:41,700
I'll start crying.
297
00:09:41,700 --> 00:09:42,090
But you know,
298
00:09:42,090 --> 00:09:43,770
we've had some sad news with our Zoe dog.
299
00:09:44,970 --> 00:09:50,250
And so that took basically all of my attention for a
300
00:09:50,250 --> 00:09:54,000
good week plus so much that I even left my mastermind
301
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,820
in Arizona two hours after it started.
302
00:09:56,820 --> 00:09:57,720
So I could get home.
303
00:09:57,930 --> 00:09:59,160
Cause we were doing round the clock,
304
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:04,200
veterinary care with her here at home and under the care
305
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:04,950
of her cardiologist,
306
00:10:04,950 --> 00:10:05,250
of course,
307
00:10:05,940 --> 00:10:07,050
but as a dog,
308
00:10:07,050 --> 00:10:07,580
reactive dog,
309
00:10:07,620 --> 00:10:09,330
she couldn't be in the hospital that was not healthy for
310
00:10:09,330 --> 00:10:09,900
a heart patient.
311
00:10:10,740 --> 00:10:11,460
So anyway,
312
00:10:12,150 --> 00:10:12,720
I mean,
313
00:10:13,590 --> 00:10:15,480
wow, there was a loud happening.
314
00:10:16,620 --> 00:10:19,710
And so during all this time before actually before all that
315
00:10:20,010 --> 00:10:20,670
hit the fan,
316
00:10:21,300 --> 00:10:22,560
I had done this time on it,
317
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:24,090
which we're going to get to in a minute.
318
00:10:24,810 --> 00:10:25,500
It'll be first,
319
00:10:25,530 --> 00:10:26,760
first. I want to say though,
320
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,430
that everything that I've been working for in the past two
321
00:10:29,430 --> 00:10:31,080
months has really started to fall into place.
322
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,860
We had our first elevate call yesterday,
323
00:10:34,860 --> 00:10:38,490
our orientation call for both our foundations and our masters.
324
00:10:38,940 --> 00:10:40,050
It was amazing.
325
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:43,800
I am so excited for this group of photographers and I
326
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:46,290
am so excited to help them through,
327
00:10:46,650 --> 00:10:47,730
to reach their goals,
328
00:10:47,730 --> 00:10:50,130
whether those goals are to scale or to build their business.
329
00:10:50,190 --> 00:10:53,850
And I know yourself and all the other coaches feel the
330
00:10:53,850 --> 00:10:56,970
same. Like we are so excited.
331
00:10:57,300 --> 00:11:00,660
Yeah. The one reason I'm really excited because you worked really
332
00:11:00,660 --> 00:11:02,730
hard over the last six months to come up with these
333
00:11:02,730 --> 00:11:05,490
checklists and these pillars and how to do everything.
334
00:11:05,490 --> 00:11:06,240
And you're always,
335
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:09,210
always searching for ways to serve and how can I make
336
00:11:09,210 --> 00:11:11,130
this better and how can I make it easier?
337
00:11:11,130 --> 00:11:11,940
And you know,
338
00:11:11,940 --> 00:11:14,070
remove any roadblocks that they might have.
339
00:11:14,070 --> 00:11:17,400
And you have such a good heart with good intentions.
340
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:18,390
That's how you view it.
341
00:11:18,660 --> 00:11:20,730
And this is what goes on in my mind.
342
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:22,890
This is hilarious.
343
00:11:22,950 --> 00:11:23,370
I'm like,
344
00:11:23,370 --> 00:11:23,880
yeah, right.
345
00:11:23,910 --> 00:11:25,050
No excuses.
346
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:27,270
She just took away all your excuses.
347
00:11:27,450 --> 00:11:28,380
So I don't want to hear it.
348
00:11:28,380 --> 00:11:28,860
Don't tell me,
349
00:11:28,860 --> 00:11:29,670
you don't know how,
350
00:11:29,670 --> 00:11:32,100
or you don't have the roadmap because Nicole Korea.
351
00:11:32,250 --> 00:11:34,020
So you come at it from a place of like,
352
00:11:34,110 --> 00:11:35,730
oh, this is great.
353
00:11:35,820 --> 00:11:36,450
I have this,
354
00:11:36,570 --> 00:11:37,620
I'm creating this for them.
355
00:11:37,620 --> 00:11:37,950
And I'm like,
356
00:11:37,950 --> 00:11:39,630
yeah, remove all the excuses.
357
00:11:41,970 --> 00:11:44,580
I can't tell you how many people I chatted with.
358
00:11:44,580 --> 00:11:45,030
They're like,
359
00:11:45,090 --> 00:11:46,620
oh, so excited,
360
00:11:46,620 --> 00:11:48,510
but kind of terrified to work with Heather.
361
00:11:49,860 --> 00:11:51,300
I am mostly friendly,
362
00:11:51,330 --> 00:11:52,170
mostly friendly.
363
00:11:52,500 --> 00:11:55,690
And, and even though there might be tears,
364
00:11:55,750 --> 00:11:57,970
it's usually because there's a breakthrough.
365
00:11:58,150 --> 00:11:59,320
So it's always good.
366
00:11:59,380 --> 00:12:01,090
It always is always good.
367
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:03,400
And I always get messages afterwards.
368
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:05,560
Like thank you so much for walking me through that process.
369
00:12:05,560 --> 00:12:07,720
So it is always done from a place of love and
370
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:10,150
service. I just have a little tough edge to it.
371
00:12:10,210 --> 00:12:10,600
That's all.
372
00:12:11,050 --> 00:12:12,190
Yeah. That's what I said.
373
00:12:12,190 --> 00:12:12,460
We're like,
374
00:12:12,460 --> 00:12:14,350
we'll be holding your feet to the fire in this program
375
00:12:14,350 --> 00:12:15,070
in a loving way.
376
00:12:15,070 --> 00:12:15,520
Of course,
377
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:17,110
like we won't actually burn you,
378
00:12:17,110 --> 00:12:18,400
but you might think we are going to,
379
00:12:19,780 --> 00:12:20,740
It might feel that Way.
380
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:21,640
I feel that way,
381
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:23,980
but I promise there'll be no lasting damage to your skin.
382
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:27,040
And also,
383
00:12:27,250 --> 00:12:27,490
you know,
384
00:12:27,490 --> 00:12:28,060
you, yeah,
385
00:12:28,060 --> 00:12:31,000
you were explaining to me earlier that you had some people
386
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,940
that were on the fence with elevate and they weren't sure
387
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:34,990
if, okay,
388
00:12:34,990 --> 00:12:36,040
this is very common.
389
00:12:36,830 --> 00:12:37,780
Am I ready for this?
390
00:12:37,780 --> 00:12:38,440
Can I handle it?
391
00:12:38,590 --> 00:12:39,790
This is at the right time.
392
00:12:39,790 --> 00:12:40,870
Do I have the money?
393
00:12:40,930 --> 00:12:43,720
So you did a lot of discovery calls in the last,
394
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:44,410
what week or two.
395
00:12:46,660 --> 00:12:47,260
There are great.
396
00:12:47,290 --> 00:12:50,110
Oh, it's so great to talk to people and find out
397
00:12:50,140 --> 00:12:51,070
what their goals are,
398
00:12:51,070 --> 00:12:52,450
where, where they're struggling,
399
00:12:53,020 --> 00:12:54,700
how we can help them,
400
00:12:54,730 --> 00:12:55,630
how you know,
401
00:12:55,630 --> 00:12:56,620
and sometimes,
402
00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:57,850
truly like these,
403
00:12:58,270 --> 00:13:01,120
I think people are nervous to do these calls with me
404
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:01,690
cause they're like,
405
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:03,220
oh, it's just going to be a sales call.
406
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:04,120
Like it's not,
407
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:05,290
it's truly a discovery call.
408
00:13:05,290 --> 00:13:05,680
It's like,
409
00:13:05,710 --> 00:13:07,030
let's find out where you are.
410
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:08,290
Let's find out where you want to be.
411
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:09,700
What's getting in your way.
412
00:13:09,970 --> 00:13:12,280
And is this program a right fit for you?
413
00:13:12,340 --> 00:13:13,630
And some people it is.
414
00:13:13,630 --> 00:13:14,770
And some people,
415
00:13:14,890 --> 00:13:17,860
it may be is not the right time for various reasons.
416
00:13:17,860 --> 00:13:18,640
It could be financial.
417
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:19,930
It could be just personal.
418
00:13:20,230 --> 00:13:22,030
They don't have the time to commit to it right now
419
00:13:22,030 --> 00:13:24,550
with other responsibilities seasoned in their life,
420
00:13:24,580 --> 00:13:25,180
all those things.
421
00:13:25,210 --> 00:13:29,590
But there were a couple of people that man could really
422
00:13:29,620 --> 00:13:31,030
benefit. And I,
423
00:13:31,210 --> 00:13:32,230
as I'm talking to them,
424
00:13:32,230 --> 00:13:33,490
like, you just need,
425
00:13:33,670 --> 00:13:35,860
you just need a session with Heather.
426
00:13:36,100 --> 00:13:36,520
This is,
427
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:39,400
this is like the breakthrough that you need to get through
428
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:39,850
to this.
429
00:13:39,910 --> 00:13:40,660
And then,
430
00:13:40,810 --> 00:13:41,410
you know,
431
00:13:41,680 --> 00:13:42,250
I told him like,
432
00:13:42,250 --> 00:13:43,360
stay in the academy,
433
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,540
come to the office hours because the academy has so many
434
00:13:46,540 --> 00:13:48,370
incredible support options too.
435
00:13:48,370 --> 00:13:49,660
So, you know,
436
00:13:49,690 --> 00:13:50,110
I want,
437
00:13:50,230 --> 00:13:52,330
I want you guys that are ready to commit an elevate,
438
00:13:52,330 --> 00:13:53,890
but if you're not ready yet,
439
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:57,520
the academy has so many live components and support that.
440
00:13:58,030 --> 00:14:00,220
So few people take advantage of,
441
00:14:00,220 --> 00:14:00,760
so I'm like,
442
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:01,930
anyway, do this,
443
00:14:01,930 --> 00:14:02,800
go to the academy,
444
00:14:03,220 --> 00:14:04,030
get in there,
445
00:14:04,390 --> 00:14:05,200
do the support,
446
00:14:05,740 --> 00:14:08,140
but let's jumpstart your,
447
00:14:08,680 --> 00:14:13,330
your progress and get you with Heather to work through because
448
00:14:13,390 --> 00:14:13,630
you know,
449
00:14:13,630 --> 00:14:14,110
there's like,
450
00:14:14,110 --> 00:14:15,580
I can tell there's under the surface.
451
00:14:15,580 --> 00:14:19,030
There's like this one domino limiting belief that is holding them
452
00:14:19,030 --> 00:14:21,370
back from so much.
453
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:23,710
Yes. One block.
454
00:14:23,740 --> 00:14:25,690
And it could be a variety of things,
455
00:14:25,690 --> 00:14:26,620
not just money.
456
00:14:26,620 --> 00:14:28,030
That's just one example.
457
00:14:28,060 --> 00:14:30,010
So you and I had been talking about this and I,
458
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:32,410
I often see this in the flourish academy as well.
459
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:33,220
And I thought,
460
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:36,580
how can I help people just give them that jumpstart?
461
00:14:36,580 --> 00:14:39,220
So they might not really be ready for elevate or one-on-one
462
00:14:39,220 --> 00:14:40,420
coaching or anything like that.
463
00:14:40,750 --> 00:14:42,670
So I came up with this idea,
464
00:14:42,700 --> 00:14:46,240
this is very recent and new and it just happens very
465
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:47,680
organically. Naturally.
466
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:47,920
You know,
467
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:50,950
we see a need and it's called the F a R
468
00:14:51,050 --> 00:14:55,310
X. It's a prescription for you to jumpstart and breakthrough.
469
00:14:55,310 --> 00:14:56,270
Whatever's holding you back.
470
00:14:56,390 --> 00:14:57,740
And this is the way I structured it.
471
00:14:57,950 --> 00:15:02,030
You can schedule a one-on-one zoom call with me for 30
472
00:15:02,030 --> 00:15:04,820
minutes where I will ask you a series of questions to
473
00:15:04,820 --> 00:15:06,740
help you understand your biggest challenge,
474
00:15:06,770 --> 00:15:08,120
maybe what the roadblock is.
475
00:15:08,450 --> 00:15:12,290
And then I will come up with a 30 day prescription.
476
00:15:12,620 --> 00:15:15,770
And of course I designed it and it looks great and
477
00:15:16,190 --> 00:15:18,710
checklists, and it's a recommendation.
478
00:15:18,710 --> 00:15:19,370
So for instance,
479
00:15:19,370 --> 00:15:20,540
I might say something like,
480
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,330
okay, based on your situation and your challenges,
481
00:15:23,570 --> 00:15:26,210
I want you to read this book and it's 30 days
482
00:15:26,210 --> 00:15:27,500
and the book is this number of pages.
483
00:15:27,500 --> 00:15:29,990
So I want you to read 10 pages per day of
484
00:15:29,990 --> 00:15:30,500
this book.
485
00:15:30,770 --> 00:15:33,410
I want you to listen to these two podcasts.
486
00:15:33,650 --> 00:15:36,320
I want you to follow this YouTube channel.
487
00:15:36,470 --> 00:15:37,280
Here's a,
488
00:15:37,390 --> 00:15:38,480
a wealth manifesto.
489
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:39,020
For instance,
490
00:15:39,020 --> 00:15:39,530
if it's money,
491
00:15:39,710 --> 00:15:42,290
here are some affirmations for you to say here's some focus
492
00:15:42,290 --> 00:15:44,450
words. And then on the second page,
493
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:45,590
it's a checklist.
494
00:15:45,710 --> 00:15:46,220
Or, you know,
495
00:15:46,220 --> 00:15:49,430
like you can mark off your progress week 1,
496
00:15:48,500 --> 00:15:49,430
2, 3,
497
00:15:49,430 --> 00:15:50,000
and four.
498
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:53,270
And your goal everyday is to touch at least one of
499
00:15:53,270 --> 00:15:53,900
these things,
500
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:55,610
not striving for perfection,
501
00:15:55,760 --> 00:16:00,470
but just for progress to help kickstart you 30 days from
502
00:16:00,500 --> 00:16:01,910
that initial zoom call,
503
00:16:02,630 --> 00:16:05,720
I will have you follow up with me via email to
504
00:16:05,750 --> 00:16:07,040
let me know how you're doing.
505
00:16:07,070 --> 00:16:08,390
It's an accountability piece,
506
00:16:08,570 --> 00:16:09,980
but here's the interesting thing.
507
00:16:10,010 --> 00:16:11,450
I, the,
508
00:16:11,510 --> 00:16:11,780
you know,
509
00:16:11,780 --> 00:16:13,820
the checklist and the fact that they have to follow up
510
00:16:13,820 --> 00:16:16,940
with me is some people need that accountability just to push
511
00:16:16,940 --> 00:16:18,410
them. Because if it's just on them,
512
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:18,680
you know,
513
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:20,030
they might not be inclined to do it.
514
00:16:20,030 --> 00:16:21,320
So in the email,
515
00:16:21,380 --> 00:16:22,880
when I deliver the prescription,
516
00:16:23,690 --> 00:16:25,640
Let's say they're the best intentions to do it,
517
00:16:25,670 --> 00:16:26,210
but it's just,
518
00:16:26,210 --> 00:16:27,050
life gets busy.
519
00:16:27,050 --> 00:16:27,560
And there's,
520
00:16:28,070 --> 00:16:29,510
it goes down on the,
521
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:30,980
the, the list.
522
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:31,610
So, sorry.
523
00:16:31,610 --> 00:16:32,120
Yeah. All right.
524
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:33,360
You got the mail prescription.
525
00:16:34,070 --> 00:16:34,670
So you got,
526
00:16:34,700 --> 00:16:36,620
so I sent in the prescription and in the email,
527
00:16:36,650 --> 00:16:37,940
I give them a date.
528
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,820
And so I might say on this date,
529
00:16:40,850 --> 00:16:43,310
I expect to be receiving an email from you,
530
00:16:43,610 --> 00:16:46,190
updating me on your progress and sending me a photo of
531
00:16:46,190 --> 00:16:49,880
your checklist so we can see how much you accomplished and
532
00:16:49,970 --> 00:16:51,440
what you achieved.
533
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:53,960
And then I put a note in my calendar that I'm
534
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:54,530
expecting it.
535
00:16:54,530 --> 00:16:56,870
So don't try to get away without getting back to me
536
00:16:57,800 --> 00:16:59,300
because I'm watching you.
537
00:16:59,450 --> 00:17:00,050
And again,
538
00:17:00,050 --> 00:17:02,330
this is hopefully to kickstart,
539
00:17:02,570 --> 00:17:03,230
give somebody,
540
00:17:03,590 --> 00:17:03,890
you know,
541
00:17:03,890 --> 00:17:04,580
the momentum.
542
00:17:04,580 --> 00:17:08,060
They need to push that domino over with whatever it is.
543
00:17:08,360 --> 00:17:09,920
That's holding them back.
544
00:17:10,070 --> 00:17:10,880
A lot of people,
545
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:14,000
it does come down to money and scarcity,
546
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:14,840
and there's a lack.
547
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:16,310
And what does that look like?
548
00:17:16,310 --> 00:17:18,590
So the prescription I just filled,
549
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:20,960
how do you like the way I'm talking about this?
550
00:17:21,020 --> 00:17:24,590
I filled the prescription the other day all around.
551
00:17:25,310 --> 00:17:30,230
Yeah, right around money and scarcity and okay.
552
00:17:30,230 --> 00:17:30,870
So anyway,
553
00:17:30,890 --> 00:17:33,050
I've delivered that prescription and I thought it would just be
554
00:17:33,050 --> 00:17:34,910
great if I could offer this to more people,
555
00:17:34,910 --> 00:17:37,280
because a lot of people will ask me for a book
556
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:38,870
recommendation. They'll say,
557
00:17:38,870 --> 00:17:39,890
Heather, do you have a,
558
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:41,240
a book I should be reading?
559
00:17:41,450 --> 00:17:42,140
And I'm like,
560
00:17:42,500 --> 00:17:45,290
yes, about a thousand of them.
561
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:47,630
What is your specific issue?
562
00:17:47,780 --> 00:17:49,040
Or what are you interested in?
563
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:50,310
What do you want to focus on?
564
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:53,460
So I wanted a way to formalize this process and not
565
00:17:53,460 --> 00:17:55,350
just give these blanket recommendations.
566
00:17:55,620 --> 00:17:56,160
You know,
567
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:56,760
for example,
568
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:58,290
Nicole, there are 30,000
569
00:17:58,290 --> 00:17:58,950
books on money,
570
00:17:59,670 --> 00:18:01,980
right? So which ones should I read?
571
00:18:01,980 --> 00:18:02,730
Well, you know,
572
00:18:02,730 --> 00:18:04,530
if I'm working with you on the phone and I get
573
00:18:04,530 --> 00:18:07,320
a sense for what you like,
574
00:18:07,350 --> 00:18:08,790
or what's going to work best with you,
575
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:10,110
there might be one book.
576
00:18:10,110 --> 00:18:12,690
I recommend over another book to someone else based on their
577
00:18:12,690 --> 00:18:14,820
personality. So I will,
578
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:16,890
I will curate those essentially.
579
00:18:16,890 --> 00:18:20,370
I'm curating all of the resources that I have worked for
580
00:18:20,370 --> 00:18:22,980
the past several decades to a mass.
581
00:18:23,070 --> 00:18:26,310
And then I can just give you exactly the prescription you
582
00:18:26,310 --> 00:18:27,990
need. So if you're interested,
583
00:18:28,290 --> 00:18:29,100
you can check it out.
584
00:18:29,100 --> 00:18:33,210
It's flourish.academy/rx.
585
00:18:33,420 --> 00:18:34,230
It's that simple.
586
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:35,370
I love it.
587
00:18:35,460 --> 00:18:35,970
I love it.
588
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:40,470
Yeah. And I know there's people taking advantage of that so
589
00:18:40,470 --> 00:18:41,820
that they can again,
590
00:18:41,820 --> 00:18:42,750
get that kickstart.
591
00:18:42,990 --> 00:18:44,490
And if you're a pet photographer,
592
00:18:44,910 --> 00:18:47,340
you combine that with the academy.
593
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,640
Oh, you're going to be right there in line for elevate
594
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:51,090
next time.
595
00:18:51,090 --> 00:18:51,390
You're like,
596
00:18:51,390 --> 00:18:52,020
yeah, I'm ready.
597
00:18:52,020 --> 00:18:56,700
I've broken through and ready to knock it out of the
598
00:18:56,700 --> 00:19:00,480
park. So the academy link as always hair of the dog
599
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:03,120
academy.com/academy, come join us.
600
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:06,480
But we need to go back to this time audit thing
601
00:19:07,980 --> 00:19:09,270
tangent. Right.
602
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:12,180
But this time audit is very fascinating.
603
00:19:12,180 --> 00:19:14,850
When you told me of this concept,
604
00:19:14,850 --> 00:19:16,770
there are two things I thought of one,
605
00:19:16,770 --> 00:19:19,350
I want to start with what exactly you did.
606
00:19:19,350 --> 00:19:20,820
I want to understand the process.
607
00:19:21,120 --> 00:19:24,120
And then I'd like to share how to take that.
608
00:19:24,330 --> 00:19:25,650
Maybe even a little bit further.
609
00:19:25,650 --> 00:19:28,200
So what was your exact exercise?
610
00:19:28,590 --> 00:19:31,500
Okay. So I was going to do it digitally and I'm
611
00:19:31,500 --> 00:19:32,040
like, no,
612
00:19:32,070 --> 00:19:33,270
this needs pen and paper.
613
00:19:33,270 --> 00:19:37,920
So I just went online and you Google free weekly blink,
614
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:38,730
weekly planner.
615
00:19:38,790 --> 00:19:41,550
And so I printed off the planner.
616
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:42,100
It's just,
617
00:19:42,990 --> 00:19:43,800
yeah, it's just like,
618
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:47,310
it starts at 7:00 AM to 11:00 PM every half hour.
619
00:19:47,310 --> 00:19:51,900
And it's Monday through Sunday and just columns.
620
00:19:51,900 --> 00:19:52,290
And I,
621
00:19:52,290 --> 00:19:55,800
wasn't going to get all crazy of like,
622
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:56,760
oh exactly what I did.
623
00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:58,200
And that was 15 minutes.
624
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:00,060
No, I'm just doing general blocks.
625
00:20:00,120 --> 00:20:04,380
And I would basically just track what I did all week
626
00:20:04,380 --> 00:20:05,370
long. So,
627
00:20:06,120 --> 00:20:09,330
and then I color coded it because of course you did
628
00:20:09,780 --> 00:20:10,800
not a monster.
629
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,830
Heather, You have standards.
630
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:15,120
Yeah. Well,
631
00:20:15,120 --> 00:20:16,890
and I also like to look at it like,
632
00:20:16,890 --> 00:20:17,110
all right,
633
00:20:17,110 --> 00:20:18,720
I need to color code at this to take,
634
00:20:18,750 --> 00:20:19,680
to take in the data.
635
00:20:19,740 --> 00:20:20,850
So I would just,
636
00:20:21,180 --> 00:20:22,860
I would just track,
637
00:20:23,130 --> 00:20:24,300
like when I was working,
638
00:20:24,390 --> 00:20:25,560
if I was on calls,
639
00:20:25,830 --> 00:20:27,900
I did start on the second week,
640
00:20:28,230 --> 00:20:34,860
start tracking deep work versus like admin work in my business
641
00:20:34,860 --> 00:20:36,270
versus on my business.
642
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:39,240
And then I would also track like the things like errands,
643
00:20:39,660 --> 00:20:39,870
you know,
644
00:20:39,870 --> 00:20:40,590
how stuff,
645
00:20:40,590 --> 00:20:42,390
laundry, you know,
646
00:20:42,420 --> 00:20:43,290
taking children,
647
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:45,660
places, like all that stuff was just kind of like house,
648
00:20:45,900 --> 00:20:46,920
how stuff errands.
649
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:49,930
And then I also tracked my exercise,
650
00:20:49,990 --> 00:20:52,780
like when I went for a walk or did Pilates,
651
00:20:52,780 --> 00:20:56,320
or did anything like that and attract my time with my
652
00:20:56,320 --> 00:21:01,780
baby horse and then I color coded it all.
653
00:21:01,810 --> 00:21:04,120
So pink is my workout three times.
654
00:21:04,120 --> 00:21:04,390
I mean,
655
00:21:04,390 --> 00:21:05,190
it's okay.
656
00:21:06,580 --> 00:21:08,650
And for Sure it did go to the barn six times
657
00:21:08,650 --> 00:21:09,460
and that's riding too.
658
00:21:09,460 --> 00:21:10,800
So that is that's,
659
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:11,410
that's a workout too.
660
00:21:11,530 --> 00:21:13,330
And then all my blue and then I added it up
661
00:21:13,330 --> 00:21:16,270
at the end and I added up that week.
662
00:21:16,270 --> 00:21:18,010
This was like a full week.
663
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:22,270
Like truly the most I've really ever worked in a week.
664
00:21:22,540 --> 00:21:22,750
I mean,
665
00:21:22,750 --> 00:21:24,130
there's probably weeks that I've worked more,
666
00:21:24,130 --> 00:21:24,970
but this was a,
667
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:28,060
if I had five days at home and the weekend at
668
00:21:28,060 --> 00:21:30,460
home, how much like the,
669
00:21:30,550 --> 00:21:34,570
basically the max amount of work time that I can have
670
00:21:34,570 --> 00:21:37,090
in my schedule that was only 26 hours.
671
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:38,560
Is that right?
672
00:21:38,770 --> 00:21:41,650
Yeah. And because I have people that tell me,
673
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:44,200
I on you work so much and I'm like,
674
00:21:44,500 --> 00:21:46,160
I really don't think I do.
675
00:21:46,660 --> 00:21:47,380
It feels,
676
00:21:47,530 --> 00:21:50,140
it might feel like I'm working a lot because I sneak
677
00:21:50,140 --> 00:21:51,850
in a half an hour here an hour here.
678
00:21:52,060 --> 00:21:53,440
It's the weekend I get up in the morning and I
679
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:55,000
work like knock out two hours,
680
00:21:55,660 --> 00:22:00,220
but I'm certainly not working 40 plus hours a week.
681
00:22:00,340 --> 00:22:01,120
And this proved it.
682
00:22:01,120 --> 00:22:02,590
I worked 26 hours a week.
683
00:22:02,740 --> 00:22:04,450
I spent 20 hours a week at the barn,
684
00:22:05,590 --> 00:22:08,140
but that's a good thing.
685
00:22:08,770 --> 00:22:10,990
I also added up this week,
686
00:22:11,050 --> 00:22:12,280
the 26 hours,
687
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:14,530
I spent seven hours on email.
688
00:22:16,300 --> 00:22:17,350
Yeah. Heather,
689
00:22:17,350 --> 00:22:17,950
my email.
690
00:22:17,950 --> 00:22:19,000
It's insane.
691
00:22:19,570 --> 00:22:20,200
I need to,
692
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:22,720
I, I think I need to live.
693
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:23,560
Don't listen to this.
694
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:25,810
Have somebody start to manage my email.
695
00:22:26,590 --> 00:22:27,460
Oh, a hundred percent.
696
00:22:27,460 --> 00:22:31,150
Yes. If that's the amount of time you're spending that's I
697
00:22:31,150 --> 00:22:32,950
mean, that's not quite okay.
698
00:22:32,950 --> 00:22:33,310
I don't,
699
00:22:33,370 --> 00:22:35,320
I not gonna be able to do that math off the
700
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:36,130
top of my head.
701
00:22:36,190 --> 00:22:37,240
It's less than half,
702
00:22:37,270 --> 00:22:38,230
but I mean,
703
00:22:38,230 --> 00:22:40,810
it's, it's creeping up there to half your time was spent
704
00:22:40,810 --> 00:22:41,140
on even,
705
00:22:41,140 --> 00:22:41,620
not quite,
706
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:44,500
maybe a quarter of your time was spent on eat still.
707
00:22:44,590 --> 00:22:45,910
It that's way too much.
708
00:22:45,910 --> 00:22:47,350
Don't you think It's a lot.
709
00:22:47,380 --> 00:22:47,950
It's a lot,
710
00:22:48,070 --> 00:22:49,030
but gosh.
711
00:22:49,090 --> 00:22:50,200
Yeah. Oh,
712
00:22:50,230 --> 00:22:50,770
I don't know.
713
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:51,220
I don't know.
714
00:22:51,220 --> 00:22:53,650
So I got to figure out a way to do some
715
00:22:53,650 --> 00:22:53,860
of that.
716
00:22:53,860 --> 00:22:56,530
And I already do like almost all the hair of the
717
00:22:56,530 --> 00:22:58,960
dog stuff flows through Liz support,
718
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:01,570
email. Like I got out of that stuff out of my
719
00:23:01,570 --> 00:23:02,440
inbox long time ago,
720
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:02,770
because I just,
721
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:04,120
there's no way I could keep it up.
722
00:23:04,180 --> 00:23:05,590
Like if I had to answer,
723
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:07,240
I love all you guys out there.
724
00:23:07,510 --> 00:23:10,270
But if I had to do all the customer support emails,
725
00:23:10,270 --> 00:23:11,110
I it's,
726
00:23:11,110 --> 00:23:12,010
it's a full-time job.
727
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:12,370
I mean,
728
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:13,570
Liz, Liz works.
729
00:23:14,290 --> 00:23:15,940
She's worked part time,
730
00:23:15,940 --> 00:23:16,480
but it's,
731
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:19,180
it's the main purpose of her job is to,
732
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:21,490
to help everybody with all those things.
733
00:23:21,910 --> 00:23:22,540
So anyway,
734
00:23:22,750 --> 00:23:23,980
so that's what I found.
735
00:23:24,190 --> 00:23:25,450
And then like,
736
00:23:25,450 --> 00:23:26,140
there's other weeks,
737
00:23:26,140 --> 00:23:29,590
like the next week I left Thursday afternoon for a long
738
00:23:29,590 --> 00:23:30,280
weekend to Florida,
739
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:32,800
with my friend from Pittsburgh to go watch fancy horses and
740
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:34,780
eat good food and have some sunshine.
741
00:23:34,780 --> 00:23:35,350
It was lovely.
742
00:23:35,350 --> 00:23:37,570
So like that week I worked 15 hours.
743
00:23:37,870 --> 00:23:40,630
And so I was saw an average of 20 hours a
744
00:23:40,630 --> 00:23:42,640
week, which is eye-opening.
745
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:44,500
And also then makes you say,
746
00:23:44,500 --> 00:23:45,530
holy cow,
747
00:23:45,740 --> 00:23:48,080
I need to be careful how many projects I pull off
748
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:51,170
and no wonder I'm feeling like I can't finish these projects
749
00:23:51,380 --> 00:23:54,830
because I really maybe only have five hours a week right
750
00:23:54,830 --> 00:23:56,120
now I'm spending on deep work.
751
00:23:56,210 --> 00:23:57,650
And the rest of it is things like this.
752
00:23:57,650 --> 00:23:58,910
So which I love the podcast,
753
00:23:59,180 --> 00:23:59,630
but it's,
754
00:23:59,630 --> 00:23:59,900
you know,
755
00:23:59,900 --> 00:24:01,850
it's podcasts like the weekly things,
756
00:24:01,850 --> 00:24:03,410
the podcast recordings,
757
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:04,940
the coaching calls,
758
00:24:05,150 --> 00:24:05,480
you know,
759
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:08,030
my photography business stuff that I'm still doing periodically.
760
00:24:08,270 --> 00:24:09,680
Like it's all of that stuff.
761
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:11,150
And so the,
762
00:24:11,150 --> 00:24:16,430
the amount of creation time is limited.
763
00:24:17,510 --> 00:24:18,920
When you looked at this,
764
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:22,850
what was your biggest surprise That I thought I worked a
765
00:24:22,850 --> 00:24:24,440
ton and it was only 26 hours.
766
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:27,200
What did you think you were working?
767
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:28,640
I don't know.
768
00:24:28,670 --> 00:24:29,450
Well, I mean,
769
00:24:29,450 --> 00:24:31,970
I guess I kind of knew that it wouldn't be 40
770
00:24:31,970 --> 00:24:32,840
hours because there's,
771
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:35,060
I've never sat on my desk for eight hours just because
772
00:24:35,360 --> 00:24:37,880
I can't go home and I just,
773
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:40,190
it's just not doesn't happen.
774
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:42,380
I think the biggest surprise,
775
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:44,450
the biggest surprise was the amount of my week.
776
00:24:44,450 --> 00:24:49,610
That's taken up by the reoccurring things in my business Still
777
00:24:49,610 --> 00:24:51,230
in which could be some of those,
778
00:24:51,230 --> 00:24:51,650
not all,
779
00:24:51,650 --> 00:24:53,660
but some of those could be labeled as administrative.
780
00:24:53,660 --> 00:24:57,020
So, But others are things in some I can definitely look
781
00:24:57,020 --> 00:24:59,210
at. I think my next step is actually to do the
782
00:24:59,210 --> 00:25:03,470
same thing and keep track of what I'm doing and everything
783
00:25:03,470 --> 00:25:05,570
I do right next to it.
784
00:25:05,570 --> 00:25:06,560
Is this able,
785
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:08,480
am I able to delegate this to someone on my team
786
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:08,780
or not?
787
00:25:09,230 --> 00:25:12,920
Yes. That's seems like approach like the podcast recording.
788
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:14,270
Well, I obviously need to do that.
789
00:25:14,330 --> 00:25:15,140
The coaching calls,
790
00:25:15,170 --> 00:25:16,520
I obviously need to do that,
791
00:25:16,820 --> 00:25:17,510
but you know,
792
00:25:17,510 --> 00:25:20,180
maybe there's some of these other things that I'm spending time
793
00:25:20,180 --> 00:25:22,520
doing that I should not be doing,
794
00:25:22,700 --> 00:25:23,900
which I've gotten much better.
795
00:25:23,900 --> 00:25:24,380
This was,
796
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:26,360
that was the hardest,
797
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:32,240
the hardest change I think for business is hiring your first
798
00:25:32,810 --> 00:25:33,830
person to help you.
799
00:25:34,070 --> 00:25:35,730
And if you're running a photography business,
800
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:35,990
you're like,
801
00:25:35,990 --> 00:25:36,920
whatever, it's just me,
802
00:25:37,070 --> 00:25:41,210
maybe your first outsourcing of some editing that first getting any
803
00:25:41,210 --> 00:25:43,400
help, any outside help of any kind.
804
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:45,050
It could be your first,
805
00:25:45,050 --> 00:25:46,550
like having someone in your family,
806
00:25:46,550 --> 00:25:47,360
watch your kids,
807
00:25:47,450 --> 00:25:47,780
you know,
808
00:25:47,780 --> 00:25:48,950
like, or asking,
809
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:49,250
you know,
810
00:25:49,250 --> 00:25:51,320
hiring a dog Walker to take your dog out.
811
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:52,130
If you're something,
812
00:25:52,130 --> 00:25:52,340
you know,
813
00:25:52,340 --> 00:25:58,190
whatever it is asking for help is hard and scary.
814
00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:01,190
And you think that,
815
00:26:01,220 --> 00:26:02,060
oh my gosh,
816
00:26:02,300 --> 00:26:02,630
you know,
817
00:26:02,630 --> 00:26:06,830
like what happens if it all gets messed up and it's
818
00:26:06,830 --> 00:26:09,650
not even then I think that they're gonna mess it up
819
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:11,930
because obviously I wouldn't hire someone that I think is going
820
00:26:11,930 --> 00:26:12,860
to mess everything up.
821
00:26:12,860 --> 00:26:14,360
Like I believe in them,
822
00:26:14,540 --> 00:26:16,340
but you still have this underlying,
823
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:17,540
oh my gosh.
824
00:26:17,660 --> 00:26:19,370
But then once you start to let go,
825
00:26:19,370 --> 00:26:20,480
and then you start to realize,
826
00:26:20,540 --> 00:26:21,410
oh man,
827
00:26:21,410 --> 00:26:22,970
these people do these things better than me.
828
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:24,870
It's magical.
829
00:26:25,250 --> 00:26:26,000
It becomes,
830
00:26:26,150 --> 00:26:27,110
yeah. It opens up,
831
00:26:27,500 --> 00:26:29,570
it opens a door that it makes you think,
832
00:26:29,570 --> 00:26:30,110
what else,
833
00:26:30,110 --> 00:26:31,220
what else could I be doing?
834
00:26:31,430 --> 00:26:31,640
You know,
835
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:33,710
something you and I ask ourselves very often,
836
00:26:33,710 --> 00:26:35,540
is would a CEO be doing this?
837
00:26:35,570 --> 00:26:36,740
Whatever you're working on,
838
00:26:36,950 --> 00:26:38,720
would a CEO be doing this?
839
00:26:38,780 --> 00:26:44,070
And I often laugh because the answer is usually no would
840
00:26:44,070 --> 00:26:45,570
not be doing these things.
841
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:48,120
And how can I get some help?
842
00:26:48,660 --> 00:26:49,830
Yeah. Like whatever you said,
843
00:26:49,830 --> 00:26:52,500
whether that's personally or for the business,
844
00:26:52,710 --> 00:26:55,410
I just read a book called we should all be millionaires
845
00:26:55,500 --> 00:26:57,750
by Rachel Rogers.
846
00:26:57,750 --> 00:26:59,190
And it was an excellent.
847
00:26:59,190 --> 00:27:00,210
And she talked about this,
848
00:27:00,210 --> 00:27:03,240
just getting help even in your home when I,
849
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:04,500
my daughter's graduated high school,
850
00:27:04,500 --> 00:27:05,640
but when she was in junior high,
851
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:07,440
I homeschooled her for a few years.
852
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:08,790
That was interesting.
853
00:27:09,750 --> 00:27:14,940
And I actually hired a personal assistant to run her around.
854
00:27:14,940 --> 00:27:17,160
And because there was still a group that she met with
855
00:27:17,190 --> 00:27:20,070
and do all of these different things and grocery shop,
856
00:27:20,100 --> 00:27:21,480
this is before Instacart and stuff.
857
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:25,770
And it was phenomenal because then I could focus.
858
00:27:25,770 --> 00:27:26,430
I really,
859
00:27:26,430 --> 00:27:28,530
really had to be focused at that point in my life
860
00:27:28,530 --> 00:27:30,600
because there were so much I had to do,
861
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:30,780
you know,
862
00:27:30,780 --> 00:27:32,070
so many responsibilities.
863
00:27:32,370 --> 00:27:33,090
Those have shifted.
864
00:27:33,090 --> 00:27:35,250
Now it's a little bit easier,
865
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:37,950
but I still could use some help in different areas.
866
00:27:38,010 --> 00:27:40,710
And I actually interviewed,
867
00:27:40,740 --> 00:27:42,780
interviewed, she came over last week,
868
00:27:42,780 --> 00:27:46,530
someone that I'm thinking about hiring to clean the house maybe
869
00:27:46,530 --> 00:27:47,430
once per month.
870
00:27:47,610 --> 00:27:48,990
And that's a,
871
00:27:49,110 --> 00:27:51,180
that's a big deal for me because,
872
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:54,270
and I bet there are people listening who think this way,
873
00:27:54,300 --> 00:27:54,810
I hope,
874
00:27:55,020 --> 00:27:56,160
I hope I'm not alone.
875
00:27:56,310 --> 00:27:56,880
Which is like,
876
00:27:57,150 --> 00:27:59,100
why would I hire someone for a job I can do
877
00:27:59,100 --> 00:28:03,120
myself and I could do it on the weekend.
878
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:05,760
So, and I probably should be working on the weekend anyway.
879
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:08,670
And then you tell yourself this series of stories that kind
880
00:28:08,670 --> 00:28:10,050
of spiral out of control.
881
00:28:10,230 --> 00:28:11,100
And then the next thing you know,
882
00:28:11,100 --> 00:28:13,470
you're spending all of your time cleaning and you're thinking,
883
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:17,700
wait, I could be doing something like much bigger,
884
00:28:17,730 --> 00:28:19,710
more important with my business.
885
00:28:20,070 --> 00:28:23,460
So it's definitely a shift in mindset.
886
00:28:23,940 --> 00:28:25,890
And it's not even that,
887
00:28:25,890 --> 00:28:27,210
cause this is a whole nother thing.
888
00:28:27,210 --> 00:28:27,390
All right,
889
00:28:27,390 --> 00:28:28,230
you hire the house,
890
00:28:28,230 --> 00:28:32,820
cleaner, somebody cleaning your home and then you feel,
891
00:28:32,910 --> 00:28:35,610
well, I better be working because I can't be hiring someone
892
00:28:35,610 --> 00:28:40,710
and just like reading a book because well that's horribly irresponsible.
893
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:43,980
Yeah. Good point.
894
00:28:44,220 --> 00:28:47,640
Like as if you have to be a busy 100% of
895
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:47,970
the time,
896
00:28:47,970 --> 00:28:50,070
every hour of every day to quote,
897
00:28:50,100 --> 00:28:51,360
earn the right to hire help.
898
00:28:51,660 --> 00:28:54,090
And this is how it goes because you're a human and
899
00:28:54,090 --> 00:28:56,010
human humans are dynamic.
900
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:58,020
Right. You need rest and you need work and you need
901
00:28:58,260 --> 00:28:59,970
different activities and different things.
902
00:28:59,970 --> 00:29:00,630
So yeah,
903
00:29:00,660 --> 00:29:02,280
no, that's a really good point.
904
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:04,620
Yeah. How,
905
00:29:04,620 --> 00:29:05,640
where are you?
906
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:08,340
And that we have,
907
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:09,540
we have some,
908
00:29:09,540 --> 00:29:11,460
someone that helps in the house that helps clean the house
909
00:29:11,730 --> 00:29:14,970
we stopped for about a year during COVID for the first
910
00:29:14,970 --> 00:29:15,720
part of COVID.
911
00:29:15,780 --> 00:29:18,420
And that was kind of brutal.
912
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:18,780
I mean,
913
00:29:18,780 --> 00:29:20,370
thankfully we had nothing else going on.
914
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:21,960
So it was actually kind of like,
915
00:29:21,990 --> 00:29:22,590
oh, okay,
916
00:29:22,740 --> 00:29:24,750
I'm gonna do something other than stare at these four walls.
917
00:29:25,140 --> 00:29:25,770
I could clean them.
918
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:31,500
But as soon as things started to get a little busy,
919
00:29:31,500 --> 00:29:31,740
I mean,
920
00:29:31,740 --> 00:29:32,760
I feel like now,
921
00:29:32,790 --> 00:29:33,360
and I don't know,
922
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:35,160
I've talked to a lot of people and I think they
923
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:35,910
feel the same too.
924
00:29:35,910 --> 00:29:39,720
I don't know if we got so relaxed.
925
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:40,860
Well, or we,
926
00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:48,220
we got so used to the very little level of like
927
00:29:48,610 --> 00:29:54,790
external responsibility of running around of busy calendars during COVID then
928
00:29:54,790 --> 00:29:57,190
now that we're back to baseline,
929
00:29:57,430 --> 00:30:00,430
which isn't even baseline before COVID because so many people are
930
00:30:00,430 --> 00:30:01,510
still working from home.
931
00:30:01,540 --> 00:30:02,620
So it's still less,
932
00:30:02,770 --> 00:30:04,210
but we're getting closer to it.
933
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:06,100
Oh my God.
934
00:30:06,250 --> 00:30:07,060
My husband are like,
935
00:30:07,090 --> 00:30:07,780
what the heck?
936
00:30:07,780 --> 00:30:08,050
I mean,
937
00:30:08,050 --> 00:30:10,420
we do have a lot of extenuating circumstances.
938
00:30:10,420 --> 00:30:10,720
I mean,
939
00:30:10,780 --> 00:30:13,990
we just bought rental house that needs to be totally rehabbed.
940
00:30:14,020 --> 00:30:16,090
Like throw that on top of the past month has happened
941
00:30:16,090 --> 00:30:16,840
too. So there's,
942
00:30:16,870 --> 00:30:18,550
there's a lot going on,
943
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:20,860
but I just,
944
00:30:20,860 --> 00:30:21,790
even with the kids,
945
00:30:21,790 --> 00:30:23,290
they both do one activity,
946
00:30:23,290 --> 00:30:24,010
but it's like,
947
00:30:24,190 --> 00:30:24,400
all right,
948
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:25,210
what's happening tonight?
949
00:30:25,330 --> 00:30:26,090
Okay. Go,
950
00:30:26,090 --> 00:30:26,530
go, go,
951
00:30:26,530 --> 00:30:27,100
go, go.
952
00:30:27,220 --> 00:30:28,030
I got it's nine 30.
953
00:30:28,030 --> 00:30:28,690
I got to get to bed.
954
00:30:28,780 --> 00:30:29,110
Oh my God.
955
00:30:29,110 --> 00:30:30,040
It's 10 15 tonight.
956
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:31,480
And then it's like six 30.
957
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:32,710
Okay. Time to go do it again.
958
00:30:32,980 --> 00:30:33,460
And it's like,
959
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:35,380
what, what happened?
960
00:30:37,270 --> 00:30:37,750
Okay. Yeah.
961
00:30:37,780 --> 00:30:38,020
I mean,
962
00:30:38,020 --> 00:30:40,870
you've definitely been really busy in a lot going on.
963
00:30:40,870 --> 00:30:41,530
And then you,
964
00:30:41,590 --> 00:30:43,570
and you recognize that this was an issue.
965
00:30:43,570 --> 00:30:44,230
So you were like,
966
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:47,380
I have to figure this out because I'm feeling kind of
967
00:30:47,380 --> 00:30:49,330
overwhelmed and scattered with this time.
968
00:30:49,330 --> 00:30:50,980
So you did this time audit.
969
00:30:51,220 --> 00:30:52,570
You're now looking at it.
970
00:30:52,900 --> 00:30:53,470
And then,
971
00:30:53,500 --> 00:30:53,770
I mean,
972
00:30:53,770 --> 00:30:59,410
I'm assuming you're using this data to make some better decisions
973
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:01,570
about how you are moving forward.
974
00:31:01,570 --> 00:31:04,750
Yes. And I think what I had done before,
975
00:31:04,900 --> 00:31:08,140
I would get guilty of trying to complete too many projects
976
00:31:08,140 --> 00:31:08,740
at once.
977
00:31:09,130 --> 00:31:12,160
So now I am doing the,
978
00:31:12,670 --> 00:31:14,080
the maintenance things,
979
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:16,000
like my coaching calls and the podcasts,
980
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:16,870
like this kind of stuff.
981
00:31:17,260 --> 00:31:19,150
But during my deep work,
982
00:31:19,150 --> 00:31:20,620
like I'm scheduling it.
983
00:31:20,620 --> 00:31:24,700
I'm putting it as like appointments on my calendar.
984
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:28,150
A because I was waiting to like fill it in when
985
00:31:28,150 --> 00:31:30,490
I had time to that's never going to happen.
986
00:31:30,820 --> 00:31:32,180
So I've started putting,
987
00:31:33,820 --> 00:31:37,540
Putting the deep work appointments on my calendar and treating them
988
00:31:37,540 --> 00:31:42,250
as like non-negotiable and then also working on one thing at
989
00:31:42,250 --> 00:31:42,610
a time.
990
00:31:42,610 --> 00:31:43,270
So I can be like,
991
00:31:43,300 --> 00:31:44,470
let's get this done.
992
00:31:44,500 --> 00:31:45,970
And then I can focus on the next one.
993
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:47,170
Let's get this done.
994
00:31:47,170 --> 00:31:48,490
And then I can focus on the next one.
995
00:31:48,490 --> 00:31:48,670
I mean,
996
00:31:48,670 --> 00:31:51,430
there might be little pieces coming up here and there,
997
00:31:52,570 --> 00:31:52,870
you know,
998
00:31:52,870 --> 00:31:53,740
like today,
999
00:31:53,740 --> 00:31:54,610
as soon as found this call,
1000
00:31:54,610 --> 00:31:56,860
I need to file the conservation funds,
1001
00:31:57,730 --> 00:31:58,030
you know,
1002
00:31:58,060 --> 00:31:59,170
nine 90 texts,
1003
00:31:59,170 --> 00:31:59,920
warm, like,
1004
00:31:59,950 --> 00:32:00,250
all right,
1005
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:01,750
fine. I can do that real quick.
1006
00:32:01,750 --> 00:32:02,950
Like those little admin things,
1007
00:32:02,950 --> 00:32:06,160
but the deep work it's like this one thing let's focus.
1008
00:32:06,190 --> 00:32:07,180
Let's get it scheduled.
1009
00:32:07,180 --> 00:32:08,140
How many more hours,
1010
00:32:08,140 --> 00:32:09,010
how long has it taken me?
1011
00:32:09,010 --> 00:32:09,880
How many more hours do I need?
1012
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:10,750
Let's put it on the calendar.
1013
00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:13,000
That's a great approach to call.
1014
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:15,130
But I think you're being a little bit delusional here.
1015
00:32:15,130 --> 00:32:16,120
And I'll tell you why,
1016
00:32:17,110 --> 00:32:19,180
because you are never,
1017
00:32:19,180 --> 00:32:21,160
it's just not how you operate.
1018
00:32:21,190 --> 00:32:24,160
You are never going to have just one major thing at
1019
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:25,150
a time ever.
1020
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:27,430
There's always going to be a couple yet.
1021
00:32:27,430 --> 00:32:29,770
You definitely need to prioritize them with the deep work like
1022
00:32:29,950 --> 00:32:30,730
this, this,
1023
00:32:30,790 --> 00:32:31,360
you know,
1024
00:32:31,450 --> 00:32:34,540
this hour or 90 minute block is going to be about,
1025
00:32:34,570 --> 00:32:34,900
you know,
1026
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:36,640
X and then I'm going,
1027
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:39,740
but it's never just one thing at a time going to
1028
00:32:39,740 --> 00:32:42,740
be the,
1029
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:47,750
the bigger time sensitive projects that need to be addressed right
1030
00:32:47,750 --> 00:32:49,850
now. And then scheduling those.
1031
00:32:50,030 --> 00:32:52,550
Now I think if we were to go just a little
1032
00:32:52,550 --> 00:32:53,030
bit deeper,
1033
00:32:53,060 --> 00:32:54,230
more granular,
1034
00:32:54,260 --> 00:32:55,010
what I would say,
1035
00:32:55,010 --> 00:32:58,430
just to clarify that is that during your deep work,
1036
00:32:58,940 --> 00:33:01,340
that is when you schedule just one thing that's like,
1037
00:33:01,730 --> 00:33:04,670
that is just this one thing on this day for deep
1038
00:33:04,670 --> 00:33:08,450
work, but deep work tomorrow or two days from now could
1039
00:33:08,450 --> 00:33:11,600
be a different project because you're going to have multiple projects
1040
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:12,140
going on.
1041
00:33:12,380 --> 00:33:16,640
It's just that you're only allowing yourself to focus on one
1042
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:20,420
project during a scheduled deep work session.
1043
00:33:20,540 --> 00:33:22,640
I just think it's really important to get clear there.
1044
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:24,950
So you don't get disheartened about like,
1045
00:33:25,310 --> 00:33:27,650
but I have these five major Sheryl ducks.
1046
00:33:27,710 --> 00:33:32,240
Yeah. I wonder if what I need to do is actually
1047
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:38,180
schedule, cause I'm looking at the deep work scheduling.
1048
00:33:38,180 --> 00:33:38,750
Like I,
1049
00:33:38,780 --> 00:33:39,470
Sunday night,
1050
00:33:39,470 --> 00:33:41,150
I always pull up my calendar and I put,
1051
00:33:41,150 --> 00:33:45,110
I plan my weekend tweak software and I have all my
1052
00:33:45,110 --> 00:33:46,820
projects like running,
1053
00:33:46,850 --> 00:33:48,980
like the to-do list of my projects on like a column
1054
00:33:48,980 --> 00:33:50,210
on the bottom thing.
1055
00:33:50,220 --> 00:33:51,980
So when something pops in my brain that needs to get
1056
00:33:51,980 --> 00:33:52,850
done, it just goes there.
1057
00:33:52,850 --> 00:33:53,540
It's out of my brain.
1058
00:33:53,540 --> 00:33:54,650
I can focus on other things.
1059
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:56,720
That's, that's a must have for me as a place to
1060
00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:58,550
collect the future to dues.
1061
00:33:58,730 --> 00:34:01,490
And so I sit down Sunday night and I plan that
1062
00:34:01,490 --> 00:34:04,610
out. And then when there's holes,
1063
00:34:04,610 --> 00:34:05,990
that's where I scheduled the deep work.
1064
00:34:05,990 --> 00:34:08,180
I think I need to go opposite and just put it
1065
00:34:08,180 --> 00:34:10,220
on my calendar here.
1066
00:34:10,220 --> 00:34:12,230
It's a standing every Tuesday mornings,
1067
00:34:12,230 --> 00:34:14,690
my deep work morning and every Thursday afternoon,
1068
00:34:14,690 --> 00:34:16,670
boom done A hundred percent.
1069
00:34:16,710 --> 00:34:17,720
This is what you need to do.
1070
00:34:17,900 --> 00:34:18,800
This is like the,
1071
00:34:19,070 --> 00:34:21,050
the, you know what this reminds me of is profit first
1072
00:34:21,380 --> 00:34:24,260
where we used to take the profit after every,
1073
00:34:24,290 --> 00:34:27,830
all of the expenses were paid and Mike has flipped that
1074
00:34:27,830 --> 00:34:28,340
for us.
1075
00:34:28,370 --> 00:34:30,920
And now we take the profit first,
1076
00:34:31,490 --> 00:34:34,820
just like you need to schedule the deep work first.
1077
00:34:35,270 --> 00:34:36,410
This is that old.
1078
00:34:36,890 --> 00:34:38,810
I think it was Stephen Covey with the rocks in the
1079
00:34:38,810 --> 00:34:40,300
jar. Yeah.
1080
00:34:40,300 --> 00:34:41,870
Yeah. Put the big rocks in first.
1081
00:34:41,900 --> 00:34:44,270
So this is the same thing that deep work has to
1082
00:34:44,270 --> 00:34:49,550
be scheduled because if you are waiting for a gap of
1083
00:34:49,550 --> 00:34:53,870
time to just magically open up or stay open so that
1084
00:34:53,870 --> 00:34:55,010
you can schedule that deep work,
1085
00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:56,570
it's not going to happen.
1086
00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:58,190
It's like this with finances too.
1087
00:34:58,190 --> 00:35:00,560
Like if you're automatically saving money,
1088
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:03,560
if you are waiting for a surplus of money,
1089
00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:05,060
you start saving money.
1090
00:35:05,570 --> 00:35:06,710
I have breaking news for you.
1091
00:35:07,010 --> 00:35:08,450
It is never going to happen.
1092
00:35:08,810 --> 00:35:10,940
You have to start where you're at.
1093
00:35:10,940 --> 00:35:14,000
So I think blocking off the time,
1094
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:15,110
doing some time blocking,
1095
00:35:15,110 --> 00:35:15,440
by the way,
1096
00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:16,160
just curious.
1097
00:35:16,490 --> 00:35:18,590
How long are your deep work sessions?
1098
00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:19,730
90 minutes.
1099
00:35:19,730 --> 00:35:20,540
I can get a lot done.
1100
00:35:21,890 --> 00:35:22,850
If it's more than that,
1101
00:35:22,850 --> 00:35:23,810
I start to procrastinate.
1102
00:35:23,810 --> 00:35:24,770
I'm like I got four hours.
1103
00:35:25,130 --> 00:35:29,450
Actually. I read that anything beyond it might've even been 60
1104
00:35:29,450 --> 00:35:32,660
minutes, but let's say 90 anything beyond 90 minutes,
1105
00:35:32,870 --> 00:35:37,710
actually your productivity drops by like 30% or some ridiculous because
1106
00:35:37,710 --> 00:35:38,550
you can't focus.
1107
00:35:38,610 --> 00:35:40,290
And in that 90 minute session,
1108
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:41,880
you at 45 minutes,
1109
00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:43,740
you need to set a timer to just get up and
1110
00:35:44,340 --> 00:35:46,830
walk around your office or take a drink of water or
1111
00:35:46,830 --> 00:35:49,830
something just to even break that up for a second.
1112
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:50,730
And then,
1113
00:35:50,940 --> 00:35:51,210
you know,
1114
00:35:51,210 --> 00:35:54,150
your remaining 45 minutes and then finish the session.
1115
00:35:54,210 --> 00:35:55,740
And when you're done be done,
1116
00:35:56,370 --> 00:35:58,860
because you're not thinking clearly you're not,
1117
00:35:59,130 --> 00:36:01,020
you're not as creative.
1118
00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:03,240
You're your thoughts tend to get scattered.
1119
00:36:03,240 --> 00:36:04,470
You're not as productive.
1120
00:36:04,500 --> 00:36:06,150
And it just declines.
1121
00:36:06,210 --> 00:36:07,110
At least for me,
1122
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:09,150
declines very rapidly after.
1123
00:36:09,150 --> 00:36:09,690
And I think,
1124
00:36:09,870 --> 00:36:10,830
oh, but I'm on a roll.
1125
00:36:10,830 --> 00:36:11,700
I want to get no,
1126
00:36:11,700 --> 00:36:13,980
I just need to stop and come back to this later.
1127
00:36:14,370 --> 00:36:16,470
And then if you're scheduling in,
1128
00:36:16,470 --> 00:36:17,670
cause a lot of people,
1129
00:36:17,700 --> 00:36:21,060
when they are start to get up against this,
1130
00:36:21,060 --> 00:36:22,740
like feeling that there's not enough time,
1131
00:36:23,070 --> 00:36:24,870
the first thing to go would be,
1132
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:25,680
oh, well,
1133
00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:26,700
I'm not going to do that walk.
1134
00:36:26,700 --> 00:36:27,870
I'm not going to go to the barn.
1135
00:36:27,900 --> 00:36:28,740
I'm not going to do this.
1136
00:36:28,740 --> 00:36:29,970
Like all that self care,
1137
00:36:30,210 --> 00:36:32,040
which I'm,
1138
00:36:32,190 --> 00:36:35,970
I'm actually pretty proud of myself that I'm pretty hardcore on
1139
00:36:35,970 --> 00:36:39,180
that. And actually talking in a couple hours that it was
1140
00:36:39,210 --> 00:36:43,800
my mastermind talking to some of the other people there that
1141
00:36:43,980 --> 00:36:47,310
they, a lot of them have been struggling with finding the
1142
00:36:47,310 --> 00:36:49,500
time to do something for themselves,
1143
00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:54,180
because it can be really easy to convince ourselves that we
1144
00:36:54,180 --> 00:36:56,640
need to be working on our business every second of the
1145
00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:57,330
day, you,
1146
00:36:57,330 --> 00:36:57,810
this is,
1147
00:36:57,840 --> 00:36:58,950
this is I'm talking to you,
1148
00:36:59,280 --> 00:36:59,880
coach Heather,
1149
00:36:59,940 --> 00:37:05,910
that, that our value comes from how productive we are.
1150
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:08,370
And there is somebody in my group.
1151
00:37:08,370 --> 00:37:10,320
She actually just posted that she did it.
1152
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:12,420
We were talking about it and she just posted.
1153
00:37:12,420 --> 00:37:12,990
She's like,
1154
00:37:13,350 --> 00:37:15,300
I've spent an hour in nature every day,
1155
00:37:15,300 --> 00:37:18,060
this week and then six hours the one day on the
1156
00:37:18,060 --> 00:37:19,650
weekend without her phone.
1157
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:24,960
And she has Amazing Knowledge of internal dialogue about,
1158
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:26,880
well, maybe I'll just take my phone and I won't turn
1159
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:27,180
it on,
1160
00:37:27,180 --> 00:37:28,320
but what if I want to take a picture?
1161
00:37:28,350 --> 00:37:29,790
Oh, that'd be fine if I just took it and didn't
1162
00:37:29,790 --> 00:37:30,330
turn it on.
1163
00:37:30,330 --> 00:37:30,930
And this and that,
1164
00:37:32,720 --> 00:37:33,210
it's just like,
1165
00:37:33,210 --> 00:37:35,190
wow. The amount of internal dialogue,
1166
00:37:35,220 --> 00:37:37,830
trying to convince me not to do this on so many
1167
00:37:37,830 --> 00:37:41,040
levels. And yeah,
1168
00:37:41,070 --> 00:37:41,460
I was,
1169
00:37:41,460 --> 00:37:41,910
it was great.
1170
00:37:41,910 --> 00:37:44,190
And she said it was such a great experience.
1171
00:37:44,430 --> 00:37:45,030
She asked,
1172
00:37:45,240 --> 00:37:47,250
she asked for a couple signs from the universe that she
1173
00:37:47,250 --> 00:37:48,240
likes is this the right thing?
1174
00:37:48,450 --> 00:37:49,170
And then there was one.
1175
00:37:49,170 --> 00:37:49,770
And then she was like,
1176
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:50,340
I don't know.
1177
00:37:50,340 --> 00:37:51,360
That was just coincidence.
1178
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:52,300
Then there was another one she's like,
1179
00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:52,680
all right,
1180
00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:53,190
10, four.
1181
00:37:53,190 --> 00:37:53,730
Got it.
1182
00:37:54,570 --> 00:37:57,150
And she just had to like a great,
1183
00:37:57,330 --> 00:37:58,710
incredible experience for the day.
1184
00:37:58,740 --> 00:38:01,500
And when you clear your mind like that,
1185
00:38:02,340 --> 00:38:07,800
the deep work becomes easier because then your subconscious brain,
1186
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:08,580
like I S you know,
1187
00:38:08,580 --> 00:38:08,940
if I say,
1188
00:38:08,940 --> 00:38:10,110
don't think of a pink elephant,
1189
00:38:10,110 --> 00:38:10,620
there it is.
1190
00:38:10,620 --> 00:38:11,640
There's that pink elephant.
1191
00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:14,370
So when you ask yourself these questions of like,
1192
00:38:14,700 --> 00:38:18,570
how can I best help someone create their website in the
1193
00:38:18,570 --> 00:38:19,440
most straightforward,
1194
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:24,210
easy way for elevate foundations when I'm out at the barn?
1195
00:38:24,210 --> 00:38:24,570
It's like,
1196
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:25,470
oh, bang.
1197
00:38:25,740 --> 00:38:26,070
Oh yeah.
1198
00:38:26,070 --> 00:38:27,030
I didn't think about that.
1199
00:38:27,030 --> 00:38:27,570
Like, it just,
1200
00:38:28,350 --> 00:38:30,300
it just percolates and pops in.
1201
00:38:30,810 --> 00:38:32,490
Yes. That's when my best ideas come,
1202
00:38:32,490 --> 00:38:33,240
because here's the thing.
1203
00:38:33,240 --> 00:38:35,620
If you sit down at your desk and you start like
1204
00:38:35,710 --> 00:38:37,060
banging your fist against your head,
1205
00:38:37,060 --> 00:38:37,420
like think,
1206
00:38:37,450 --> 00:38:37,990
think, think,
1207
00:38:38,020 --> 00:38:40,270
think we're going to be able to think,
1208
00:38:40,510 --> 00:38:42,610
yeah, that's not where the productivity,
1209
00:38:43,090 --> 00:38:44,110
creativity, magic,
1210
00:38:44,110 --> 00:38:45,130
I should say happens.
1211
00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:47,920
It's what it's in those times when you're out in nature
1212
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:50,080
or you're at the barn or you're exercising,
1213
00:38:50,110 --> 00:38:51,280
this happens to me on the treadmill.
1214
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:52,090
Sometimes I'll be like,
1215
00:38:52,330 --> 00:38:52,870
oh my gosh,
1216
00:38:52,900 --> 00:38:53,830
I got to write that down.
1217
00:38:53,830 --> 00:38:56,170
That's a really good idea that I would have not had
1218
00:38:56,170 --> 00:38:56,890
that idea.
1219
00:38:56,920 --> 00:39:00,040
I don't think otherwise my issue Nicole,
1220
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:06,850
is that not only is my productivity and how I work
1221
00:39:06,850 --> 00:39:10,150
tied to my worth and my identity.
1222
00:39:10,180 --> 00:39:11,320
It is like,
1223
00:39:11,890 --> 00:39:12,940
it's, it's bigger than that.
1224
00:39:12,940 --> 00:39:13,210
For me.
1225
00:39:13,270 --> 00:39:14,680
It's why I'm in therapy.
1226
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:16,210
Because I,
1227
00:39:16,260 --> 00:39:18,250
I tell myself this story of like,
1228
00:39:18,610 --> 00:39:19,750
if I'm not productive,
1229
00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:21,760
if I'm not doing work,
1230
00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:23,650
then I am not worthy,
1231
00:39:24,100 --> 00:39:25,990
which means I'm lazy.
1232
00:39:26,020 --> 00:39:27,310
And then I'm a loser.
1233
00:39:27,340 --> 00:39:30,250
And then I go down a shame spiral and I don't
1234
00:39:30,250 --> 00:39:31,360
do this consciously,
1235
00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:34,870
but it's definitely beneath the surface for me.
1236
00:39:35,230 --> 00:39:36,070
And I am.
1237
00:39:36,250 --> 00:39:37,060
I've had to,
1238
00:39:37,060 --> 00:39:40,720
and continue to work on saying to myself that it's okay
1239
00:39:40,720 --> 00:39:41,440
to sit down.
1240
00:39:41,470 --> 00:39:46,510
It's okay to read a book on a random Thursday afternoon.
1241
00:39:46,540 --> 00:39:48,490
You better believe it's going to be a business book,
1242
00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:49,840
but whatever you Mean,
1243
00:39:50,140 --> 00:39:50,530
come on.
1244
00:39:50,530 --> 00:39:51,700
We're not monsters again.
1245
00:39:51,730 --> 00:39:54,850
Yeah. I'm Trying to be productive even in my downtime.
1246
00:39:54,850 --> 00:39:56,140
And when I say that to my therapist,
1247
00:39:56,140 --> 00:39:56,890
she laughs at me,
1248
00:39:56,920 --> 00:39:57,310
or like,
1249
00:39:57,460 --> 00:39:57,700
you know,
1250
00:39:57,910 --> 00:39:58,810
go run your errands,
1251
00:39:58,810 --> 00:39:59,320
for instance,
1252
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:01,750
like you want to maybe go to target for something.
1253
00:40:01,750 --> 00:40:03,940
And then I put on a business podcast.
1254
00:40:05,350 --> 00:40:07,810
Right? Could you like chill out for a second?
1255
00:40:07,830 --> 00:40:09,730
It's really difficult for me to do that.
1256
00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:11,080
There's I think there's,
1257
00:40:11,140 --> 00:40:13,150
I have two things I want to say when you're out
1258
00:40:13,150 --> 00:40:14,680
of target with the business podcast,
1259
00:40:14,710 --> 00:40:16,600
I think that is totally fine.
1260
00:40:16,780 --> 00:40:18,790
Except if you never let yourself,
1261
00:40:18,790 --> 00:40:21,010
like, just listen to music or listen to something for fun,
1262
00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:22,330
same thing with the business books.
1263
00:40:22,330 --> 00:40:23,980
Like I love the,
1264
00:40:23,980 --> 00:40:25,210
the business books,
1265
00:40:25,240 --> 00:40:27,130
the productivity books,
1266
00:40:27,130 --> 00:40:28,390
the mindset books.
1267
00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:32,350
But I think it only becomes a problem if you're like,
1268
00:40:32,350 --> 00:40:35,440
man, I want to read a fiction book too,
1269
00:40:35,950 --> 00:40:41,530
but I can't because that would mean that I'm not being
1270
00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:43,330
productive. All right.
1271
00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:47,530
And the second question I have for you,
1272
00:40:47,530 --> 00:40:49,600
Heather, is,
1273
00:40:50,740 --> 00:40:54,430
is this worth to being productive,
1274
00:40:54,580 --> 00:40:55,210
that tied,
1275
00:40:55,210 --> 00:40:55,420
you know,
1276
00:40:55,420 --> 00:40:57,130
that worth tied to productivity.
1277
00:40:57,610 --> 00:41:01,900
Is there another layer there of,
1278
00:41:01,930 --> 00:41:02,140
you know,
1279
00:41:02,140 --> 00:41:03,970
you're saying that if you're not productive,
1280
00:41:03,970 --> 00:41:04,540
you're then,
1281
00:41:04,540 --> 00:41:05,080
you know,
1282
00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:07,090
putting this on identity of,
1283
00:41:07,150 --> 00:41:07,480
you know,
1284
00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:08,980
loser and you're just not,
1285
00:41:09,010 --> 00:41:09,280
you know,
1286
00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:12,130
you, you have the productivity wrapped up in your identity is
1287
00:41:12,130 --> 00:41:15,400
one of the reasons possibly that it's wrapped up in your
1288
00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:17,230
identity, a fear of,
1289
00:41:17,230 --> 00:41:18,790
if you're not productive,
1290
00:41:19,180 --> 00:41:20,200
your business,
1291
00:41:20,260 --> 00:41:21,550
won't do as well.
1292
00:41:21,910 --> 00:41:25,480
And you won't make enough money and your kids will starve.
1293
00:41:26,290 --> 00:41:28,810
Yeah. A hundred percent and then I'll be homeless on the
1294
00:41:28,810 --> 00:41:32,050
street. So what that looks like is okay,
1295
00:41:32,050 --> 00:41:33,620
if I'm not productive,
1296
00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:36,770
then I'm probably missing something.
1297
00:41:36,830 --> 00:41:42,500
So there's this maybe lack of trust in one's self to
1298
00:41:42,500 --> 00:41:43,430
make sure that I'm,
1299
00:41:43,580 --> 00:41:45,740
I'm doing everything like I should be doing more.
1300
00:41:45,740 --> 00:41:46,310
I should shoot.
1301
00:41:46,310 --> 00:41:47,270
I should be working on this.
1302
00:41:47,270 --> 00:41:47,540
I should.
1303
00:41:47,540 --> 00:41:49,340
And I know that the word showed is a problem.
1304
00:41:49,340 --> 00:41:51,980
It's wrapped up in shame because if I should be doing
1305
00:41:51,980 --> 00:41:52,910
something and I'm not,
1306
00:41:53,180 --> 00:41:56,420
that also means that I'm a loser and am I doing
1307
00:41:56,420 --> 00:41:58,070
everything that I need to be doing?
1308
00:41:58,070 --> 00:42:00,110
What else needs to be done?
1309
00:42:00,110 --> 00:42:01,280
Or should I be doing,
1310
00:42:01,580 --> 00:42:04,250
if I'm not working on marketing the business,
1311
00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:05,810
I'm probably not doing enough.
1312
00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:07,400
And then we're not going to earn enough money.
1313
00:42:07,730 --> 00:42:08,270
So yeah,
1314
00:42:08,270 --> 00:42:10,130
there's definitely a spiral there.
1315
00:42:10,190 --> 00:42:12,680
And also to make it even worse,
1316
00:42:12,770 --> 00:42:15,260
if I'm not productive and I'm not worthy,
1317
00:42:15,380 --> 00:42:15,830
I am.
1318
00:42:15,890 --> 00:42:17,660
That means by default,
1319
00:42:17,900 --> 00:42:20,840
I am unworthy of love and acceptance.
1320
00:42:22,820 --> 00:42:23,870
It goes really,
1321
00:42:23,930 --> 00:42:26,270
again, I hope that people can hear this.
1322
00:42:26,270 --> 00:42:27,560
It's not consciously,
1323
00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:29,330
I'm not sitting there thinking this.
1324
00:42:29,540 --> 00:42:32,360
This is just what I've uncovered in working with my therapist,
1325
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:34,910
that this is the sub-level story.
1326
00:42:34,910 --> 00:42:36,410
I am telling myself.
1327
00:42:36,410 --> 00:42:39,410
So actually my word of the year is trust.
1328
00:42:39,620 --> 00:42:40,490
Like trust yourself,
1329
00:42:40,670 --> 00:42:42,860
trust that you are working on the right things.
1330
00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:45,230
You have been you're smart enough.
1331
00:42:45,230 --> 00:42:46,100
You're good enough.
1332
00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:47,600
People will like you,
1333
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:49,310
you're getting done what you need to get done.
1334
00:42:49,460 --> 00:42:50,720
Just trust yourself,
1335
00:42:50,720 --> 00:42:51,620
trust the process,
1336
00:42:51,620 --> 00:42:53,390
trust that you're in the right place at the right time.
1337
00:42:53,570 --> 00:42:56,390
Trust that you're making the right decisions based on where you
1338
00:42:56,390 --> 00:42:59,750
need to take your business next to sort of relieve some
1339
00:42:59,750 --> 00:43:00,830
of that pressure of,
1340
00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:04,460
I need to be working constantly because I sh I should
1341
00:43:04,460 --> 00:43:05,180
be doing more.
1342
00:43:05,180 --> 00:43:06,650
And what if I'm not doing enough?
1343
00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:07,700
Yeah. Yeah.
1344
00:43:08,630 --> 00:43:09,650
Oh my goodness.
1345
00:43:10,390 --> 00:43:11,030
It's pretty deep.
1346
00:43:11,270 --> 00:43:11,840
It is.
1347
00:43:11,900 --> 00:43:12,320
It is.
1348
00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:14,390
You need a Heather prescription for yourself.
1349
00:43:15,530 --> 00:43:16,430
Yeah, no kidding.
1350
00:43:16,580 --> 00:43:17,780
And I try to tell myself,
1351
00:43:17,870 --> 00:43:20,780
I have been taking Friday afternoons off and having lunch with
1352
00:43:20,780 --> 00:43:23,240
friends and such because previously I would have never,
1353
00:43:23,240 --> 00:43:23,960
ever done that.
1354
00:43:24,290 --> 00:43:27,830
And I have to literally talk myself into that by saying,
1355
00:43:27,830 --> 00:43:28,340
it's okay,
1356
00:43:28,580 --> 00:43:29,150
you got done.
1357
00:43:29,150 --> 00:43:30,230
What needed to get done?
1358
00:43:30,530 --> 00:43:31,580
It will be fine.
1359
00:43:31,820 --> 00:43:35,810
There's nothing truly urgent at this point.
1360
00:43:35,870 --> 00:43:36,560
Right? I mean,
1361
00:43:36,560 --> 00:43:39,110
there's no photographic emergency happening.
1362
00:43:39,350 --> 00:43:41,210
Right. And everything will be okay.
1363
00:43:41,210 --> 00:43:43,430
And you'll get back to people in a little while and
1364
00:43:43,790 --> 00:43:45,440
I have to talk myself through it,
1365
00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:46,730
which seems extreme.
1366
00:43:46,730 --> 00:43:47,570
But when,
1367
00:43:47,690 --> 00:43:51,080
when your identity is tied up in your productivity,
1368
00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:52,070
oh man,
1369
00:43:52,070 --> 00:43:52,520
it's just,
1370
00:43:52,700 --> 00:43:53,840
it's just dangerous.
1371
00:43:54,020 --> 00:43:55,040
Right? Right.
1372
00:43:55,160 --> 00:43:55,910
Oh man.
1373
00:43:56,120 --> 00:43:58,010
Well, this has been a fantastic conversation,
1374
00:43:58,160 --> 00:43:59,840
but before we wrap up,
1375
00:44:00,230 --> 00:44:04,640
I would love maybe we both share like our top,
1376
00:44:05,300 --> 00:44:08,180
top couple tips for getting out of,
1377
00:44:08,180 --> 00:44:09,920
if you're like in that space where you're just like,
1378
00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:10,520
holy cow,
1379
00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:11,690
I've got so much to do.
1380
00:44:12,050 --> 00:44:14,960
How do I move on from this top three tips?
1381
00:44:15,590 --> 00:44:16,340
Yeah. Okay.
1382
00:44:16,820 --> 00:44:19,310
I actually have one tip,
1383
00:44:19,340 --> 00:44:19,730
but it's,
1384
00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:20,480
it's pretty big.
1385
00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:22,280
So this is what I'm going to suggest.
1386
00:44:22,550 --> 00:44:24,140
Yeah. I love your time audit.
1387
00:44:24,140 --> 00:44:25,670
I think you should definitely do this.
1388
00:44:25,670 --> 00:44:28,010
Like goes without saying that's what this episode is about.
1389
00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:29,180
Do the time audit,
1390
00:44:29,210 --> 00:44:33,210
but only slightly to that is I actually want you to
1391
00:44:33,210 --> 00:44:36,480
take the tasks that you do on a recurring basis and
1392
00:44:36,540 --> 00:44:39,720
time, how long it takes you to do that task because
1393
00:44:39,720 --> 00:44:42,510
you are most likely building it up in your mind much
1394
00:44:42,540 --> 00:44:43,950
more than it actually is.
1395
00:44:43,950 --> 00:44:45,360
Let me give you a few examples.
1396
00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:46,710
You might say something like,
1397
00:44:46,770 --> 00:44:47,280
oh, I,
1398
00:44:47,670 --> 00:44:51,090
I need to empty the dishwasher or put the laundry in.
1399
00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:52,290
Oh, it's going to take me all day.
1400
00:44:52,290 --> 00:44:53,340
It's going to take all afternoon.
1401
00:44:53,340 --> 00:44:54,120
I don't have time for that.
1402
00:44:54,300 --> 00:44:56,280
And then you time it and it literally took you five
1403
00:44:56,280 --> 00:44:57,480
minutes. I'm not even kidding.
1404
00:44:57,750 --> 00:44:59,790
And, but you had it built up in your mind so
1405
00:44:59,790 --> 00:45:00,570
much for me,
1406
00:45:00,570 --> 00:45:01,710
that used to be QuickBooks.
1407
00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:04,050
Oh, I have to go into QuickBooks and reconcile.
1408
00:45:04,050 --> 00:45:08,920
It's going to take me all day when I actually actually
1409
00:45:08,970 --> 00:45:12,540
takes probably 90 seconds because of the way I have everything
1410
00:45:12,540 --> 00:45:13,140
set up,
1411
00:45:13,900 --> 00:45:15,360
like literally have to put in the number,
1412
00:45:15,420 --> 00:45:15,750
but no,
1413
00:45:15,750 --> 00:45:16,590
to go into QuickBooks,
1414
00:45:16,590 --> 00:45:17,130
let's say run.
1415
00:45:17,130 --> 00:45:20,040
My profit loss report for the week is definitely less than
1416
00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:20,730
five minutes.
1417
00:45:21,090 --> 00:45:21,900
I also did this.
1418
00:45:22,140 --> 00:45:25,440
So I did this for both business and personal tasks a
1419
00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:26,280
few years ago.
1420
00:45:26,280 --> 00:45:28,050
And I still have the sheet cause I like to look
1421
00:45:28,050 --> 00:45:29,850
at it to remind myself,
1422
00:45:30,030 --> 00:45:32,040
but even the tasks that might take you a little bit
1423
00:45:32,040 --> 00:45:33,720
longer, like for instance,
1424
00:45:33,780 --> 00:45:36,060
I do my own gel manicures.
1425
00:45:36,060 --> 00:45:36,840
Like I have the light,
1426
00:45:36,870 --> 00:45:40,440
I cure the Polish and everything and it it's a time
1427
00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:41,400
intensive process.
1428
00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:43,860
It takes me about 90 minutes to do my nails,
1429
00:45:43,860 --> 00:45:46,470
like to soak it off and prep them and Polish them.
1430
00:45:46,740 --> 00:45:49,320
And so I just know if you know that something takes
1431
00:45:49,320 --> 00:45:50,010
you 90 minutes,
1432
00:45:50,040 --> 00:45:51,060
then you can schedule it.
1433
00:45:51,060 --> 00:45:52,410
I can look at my calendar and say,
1434
00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:54,630
okay, this is a good day or a time slot for
1435
00:45:54,630 --> 00:45:55,140
me to do my,
1436
00:45:55,200 --> 00:45:59,460
and guess what I'm doing while I am doing my manicure,
1437
00:45:59,460 --> 00:46:02,160
Nicole, I'm watching classes,
1438
00:46:02,250 --> 00:46:03,360
I'm doing something productive,
1439
00:46:04,230 --> 00:46:06,540
listening to a podcast or like,
1440
00:46:06,540 --> 00:46:07,710
no time is wasted.
1441
00:46:07,710 --> 00:46:08,760
We will not waste time.
1442
00:46:08,820 --> 00:46:13,470
But I also enjoy mowing the grass and we have a
1443
00:46:13,470 --> 00:46:14,190
lot of property.
1444
00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:16,110
And in my mind it takes all afternoon,
1445
00:46:16,110 --> 00:46:17,700
which I enjoy again.
1446
00:46:17,700 --> 00:46:19,620
But one time I thought I should time.
1447
00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:21,780
How long it takes me to do the section of the
1448
00:46:21,780 --> 00:46:23,280
yard. That's like important,
1449
00:46:23,310 --> 00:46:23,520
you know,
1450
00:46:23,520 --> 00:46:23,790
like that.
1451
00:46:23,790 --> 00:46:24,540
You want to keep nice.
1452
00:46:24,930 --> 00:46:25,470
And I,
1453
00:46:25,670 --> 00:46:27,720
I timed it one day and it was 37 minutes.
1454
00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:29,550
And I w I would've sworn,
1455
00:46:29,550 --> 00:46:30,300
if you asked me,
1456
00:46:30,300 --> 00:46:31,470
how long does it take to mow the grass?
1457
00:46:31,470 --> 00:46:31,830
I would've said,
1458
00:46:31,860 --> 00:46:32,520
oh gosh,
1459
00:46:32,550 --> 00:46:33,150
two hours,
1460
00:46:33,180 --> 00:46:33,870
three hours.
1461
00:46:33,870 --> 00:46:34,800
It takes all day.
1462
00:46:35,100 --> 00:46:36,990
But it was much less than I thought.
1463
00:46:37,020 --> 00:46:38,700
Well, now that I have these numbers,
1464
00:46:39,210 --> 00:46:42,090
I can look at a time where I have availability and
1465
00:46:42,090 --> 00:46:42,570
say, oh,
1466
00:46:42,600 --> 00:46:44,160
I can fit my nails into there.
1467
00:46:44,340 --> 00:46:45,420
Or maybe not my nails,
1468
00:46:45,420 --> 00:46:48,390
but I can certainly mow the grass or the laundry because
1469
00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:50,730
you're building it up more than you think.
1470
00:46:50,730 --> 00:46:54,300
So time audit on one sheet and on another sheet,
1471
00:46:54,420 --> 00:46:56,130
take your repetitive tasks,
1472
00:46:56,190 --> 00:47:00,180
especially the ones that annoy you and actually for real,
1473
00:47:00,270 --> 00:47:01,620
for real time them.
1474
00:47:01,830 --> 00:47:05,430
And I think you'll be surprised that they take much,
1475
00:47:05,940 --> 00:47:08,400
much they're much faster than you actually thought it takes much
1476
00:47:08,400 --> 00:47:08,910
less time.
1477
00:47:09,570 --> 00:47:12,720
I, I love that because yeah,
1478
00:47:12,720 --> 00:47:14,430
the things that we don't want to do,
1479
00:47:14,430 --> 00:47:16,890
we think takes so much less time and the things that
1480
00:47:16,890 --> 00:47:18,060
we do want to do,
1481
00:47:18,720 --> 00:47:19,170
or we think,
1482
00:47:19,170 --> 00:47:20,400
sorry, the things we don't want to do,
1483
00:47:20,460 --> 00:47:22,860
we think takes so much more time than they actually do.
1484
00:47:22,860 --> 00:47:24,480
And the things that we do want to do,
1485
00:47:24,690 --> 00:47:26,340
like, I'll get that done in five minutes.
1486
00:47:26,340 --> 00:47:26,640
We're like,
1487
00:47:26,790 --> 00:47:27,090
oh man,
1488
00:47:27,090 --> 00:47:28,530
I've been doing this for 45 minutes.
1489
00:47:28,870 --> 00:47:30,640
So this works,
1490
00:47:30,640 --> 00:47:31,750
I think on both,
1491
00:47:31,870 --> 00:47:34,480
both sides of truly figuring out,
1492
00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:36,940
like, do you really know how long it takes you to
1493
00:47:36,940 --> 00:47:37,810
edit a session?
1494
00:47:37,840 --> 00:47:39,730
Do you really know how long it takes to call the
1495
00:47:39,730 --> 00:47:41,920
session? Like time and a few times?
1496
00:47:41,920 --> 00:47:42,250
And then,
1497
00:47:42,250 --> 00:47:42,520
you know,
1498
00:47:42,520 --> 00:47:42,880
you're like,
1499
00:47:42,940 --> 00:47:43,690
oh, all right,
1500
00:47:43,690 --> 00:47:45,550
it takes me 45 minutes to call,
1501
00:47:45,790 --> 00:47:47,980
oh, I've got an hour before I have to go.
1502
00:47:47,980 --> 00:47:48,430
You know,
1503
00:47:48,460 --> 00:47:49,120
do whatever.
1504
00:47:49,120 --> 00:47:50,320
Let me do that real quick.
1505
00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:54,160
Instead of waiting and waiting till I have like multiple hours
1506
00:47:54,160 --> 00:47:55,690
in the afternoon to do it all,
1507
00:47:55,690 --> 00:47:58,600
like break those tasks down so that you can,
1508
00:47:58,630 --> 00:48:01,060
so you can just fit them in which,
1509
00:48:01,720 --> 00:48:01,960
You know,
1510
00:48:01,960 --> 00:48:03,580
what you just did right there.
1511
00:48:03,640 --> 00:48:04,750
You don't even realize it.
1512
00:48:04,810 --> 00:48:07,240
You just proved to everyone that time is in fact,
1513
00:48:07,240 --> 00:48:09,250
relative time is relative.
1514
00:48:09,430 --> 00:48:13,870
It is not absolute because if you were getting a root
1515
00:48:13,870 --> 00:48:15,970
canal and it took 15 minutes,
1516
00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:17,710
it would feel like hours.
1517
00:48:18,040 --> 00:48:21,310
But if you were getting a massage an hour goes by
1518
00:48:21,310 --> 00:48:24,490
and it feels like You like checking the clock.
1519
00:48:24,490 --> 00:48:24,820
You're like,
1520
00:48:24,820 --> 00:48:27,640
I think they cut off my time because that was not
1521
00:48:27,640 --> 00:48:28,120
50 minutes.
1522
00:48:28,660 --> 00:48:34,810
Right? Time is time is relative because it's based on perception
1523
00:48:35,020 --> 00:48:36,190
and our perception,
1524
00:48:36,190 --> 00:48:38,800
guess what is not accurate.
1525
00:48:38,950 --> 00:48:40,870
So that's why it's so important to time.
1526
00:48:40,870 --> 00:48:42,550
And actually this exercise,
1527
00:48:42,550 --> 00:48:44,050
I taught it in a productivity course.
1528
00:48:44,080 --> 00:48:45,760
The way it first started for me was timing.
1529
00:48:45,760 --> 00:48:47,380
How long it took me to edit a wedding.
1530
00:48:47,410 --> 00:48:49,330
And I broke it down into components,
1531
00:48:49,420 --> 00:48:50,470
like, you know,
1532
00:48:50,470 --> 00:48:54,070
bringing everything into Lightroom calling because weddings are like 3000 images
1533
00:48:54,350 --> 00:48:55,390
calling the wedding,
1534
00:48:55,630 --> 00:48:58,720
editing the wedding in Lightroom editing and Photoshop delivery.
1535
00:48:58,720 --> 00:49:02,710
I broke it literally down step by step so that I
1536
00:49:02,710 --> 00:49:04,450
could put it in my schedule.
1537
00:49:04,450 --> 00:49:07,840
And I knew approximately how long it was going to take.
1538
00:49:08,020 --> 00:49:11,470
What I determined is that I could edit a wedding if
1539
00:49:11,470 --> 00:49:12,550
I did it in one sitting,
1540
00:49:12,580 --> 00:49:13,360
which I never did.
1541
00:49:13,360 --> 00:49:14,260
But if I did,
1542
00:49:14,530 --> 00:49:15,520
it was eight hours,
1543
00:49:15,720 --> 00:49:16,780
eight hours in total,
1544
00:49:16,810 --> 00:49:17,980
it took me to edit a wedding.
1545
00:49:17,980 --> 00:49:18,250
It's just,
1546
00:49:18,250 --> 00:49:20,020
I would typically spread that over the week,
1547
00:49:20,050 --> 00:49:22,840
but I knew exactly what each component.
1548
00:49:22,960 --> 00:49:23,470
I actually,
1549
00:49:23,530 --> 00:49:25,030
I'm pretty proud of this.
1550
00:49:25,090 --> 00:49:29,260
I timed myself in Photoshop one day using a script to
1551
00:49:29,260 --> 00:49:29,800
auto load,
1552
00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:31,660
my images and the Wacom tablet.
1553
00:49:31,720 --> 00:49:35,500
And I like tripped everything out with automation.
1554
00:49:35,560 --> 00:49:38,890
I edited 700 photos in two hours and I was like,
1555
00:49:41,680 --> 00:49:42,910
so it,
1556
00:49:42,910 --> 00:49:43,300
you know,
1557
00:49:43,510 --> 00:49:44,260
and listen,
1558
00:49:44,260 --> 00:49:45,010
don't beat yourself up.
1559
00:49:45,010 --> 00:49:46,360
If your editing is taking longer,
1560
00:49:46,360 --> 00:49:47,320
you, you get better,
1561
00:49:47,320 --> 00:49:47,530
you know,
1562
00:49:47,530 --> 00:49:49,090
with experience and that improves.
1563
00:49:49,330 --> 00:49:52,330
But at least you have an accurate picture because if you're
1564
00:49:52,330 --> 00:49:56,920
guessing, you're guessing based on perception in I'm telling you,
1565
00:49:56,920 --> 00:49:58,420
it is in accurate.
1566
00:49:58,480 --> 00:50:00,160
Yeah. Oh my gosh.
1567
00:50:00,670 --> 00:50:01,960
This has been so good.
1568
00:50:01,960 --> 00:50:05,050
I hope you guys have enjoyed this conversation as always.
1569
00:50:05,440 --> 00:50:09,760
You can find Heather and myself elevate and the hair of
1570
00:50:09,760 --> 00:50:10,840
the dog academy,
1571
00:50:11,140 --> 00:50:12,730
Heather and the flourish academy,
1572
00:50:13,060 --> 00:50:15,640
all the different places right here on the podcast.
1573
00:50:15,670 --> 00:50:17,350
She'll be back very soon.
1574
00:50:17,500 --> 00:50:18,190
I am sure.
1575
00:50:19,300 --> 00:50:20,140
In the meantime,
1576
00:50:20,320 --> 00:50:22,090
if you want to get your own prescription from Heather,
1577
00:50:22,240 --> 00:50:22,780
go check it out.
1578
00:50:22,780 --> 00:50:24,340
Heather, what's that address again?
1579
00:50:24,760 --> 00:50:29,060
It is Flourish.academy/r
1580
00:50:29,210 --> 00:50:33,290
X and the RX is obviously for prescription it's unique,
1581
00:50:33,320 --> 00:50:34,310
it's customized.
1582
00:50:34,430 --> 00:50:37,850
It's 30 days of what you need to do to break
1583
00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:40,040
through any challenges you are facing.
1584
00:50:40,520 --> 00:50:41,030
I love it.
1585
00:50:41,180 --> 00:50:41,630
I love it.
1586
00:50:41,930 --> 00:50:42,260
All right.
1587
00:50:42,770 --> 00:50:43,880
Good to chat with you guys.
1588
00:50:44,210 --> 00:50:46,040
Let me know either one,
1589
00:50:46,040 --> 00:50:47,510
Heather or I on Instagram.
1590
00:50:47,510 --> 00:50:49,130
I'm at hair of the dog academy.
1591
00:50:49,190 --> 00:50:50,720
Heather is at flourish academy,
1592
00:50:50,960 --> 00:50:51,860
right? That's correct.
1593
00:50:51,890 --> 00:50:52,580
Yep. Perfect.
1594
00:50:52,850 --> 00:50:53,900
Let us know in the DMS,
1595
00:50:53,930 --> 00:50:55,460
if you're tracking your time,
1596
00:50:55,520 --> 00:50:58,700
what interesting things you find when you do that?
1597
00:50:58,700 --> 00:51:00,080
Because once you start to track it,
1598
00:51:00,110 --> 00:51:02,300
then you have data and then you start to see patterns
1599
00:51:02,300 --> 00:51:05,000
and you might be surprised of what the data actually tells
1600
00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:06,560
you. And yeah.
1601
00:51:06,560 --> 00:51:08,870
Start timing your things and start scheduling things.
1602
00:51:08,870 --> 00:51:11,150
And I think that will help tremendously,
1603
00:51:11,510 --> 00:51:13,040
but it's great talking to you all.
1604
00:51:13,130 --> 00:51:14,840
And I will see you guys soon.
1605
00:51:14,840 --> 00:51:16,700
I just said y'all oh man,
1606
00:51:16,790 --> 00:51:17,780
I'm becoming a southerner.
1607
00:51:20,630 --> 00:51:21,290
Bye everybody.
1608
00:51:21,590 --> 00:51:22,040
