Time Management
The absolute most important thing for me in my life right now is being hyper efficient with my time. It’s absolutely imperative for me to be really efficient & productive with my working hours, so that in my leisure time I’m not also working. My previous way of being, pretty much my entire adult life, is to always somewhat be working. The working time & leisure time would bleed into one another, creating a miserable existence where I’m always working. But that’s not what successful people do. Successful people are hyper efficient & hyper effective with their hours. They become really good at working, and really good at relaxing. These are the traits of a hyper successful person, and these are test traits I must adopt too.
This requires the elimination of distractions, one of which is my phone. If I’m journaling, the phone should be off & put away. If I’m working, the phone should be off & put away. I do far more creative work on my computer than I do on my phone. It’s almost as if my phone is more of a consumption device whereas my computer is far more of a creative device. So it’s very important to be putting the phone away during work hours, and also turning off the phone past sundown at 6pm so that I spend that time just before bed reading, meditating, spending time with Sarah, etc. These are the things that matter most in my life, these are the shifts & changes I am making in my life right now. And I know, deep down that my life will be significantly transformed as a result.
