How many time commitments do you have that you don’t even realize you have?
- The lines you’re forced to wait in
- The long commutes
- The time it takes to get ready
How might you creatively reclaim some of that time?
- Do you have to wait in those lines? Or is there a way you can skip them altogether? i.e. Rather than buying coffee each morning, can you start making it from home?
- Assuming you can’t opt out of the long commutes, is there a way you can improve how you spend that time? i.e. Long commutes are a perfect time to soak in audiobooks—which are great because they don’t always have to be nonfiction/ productive. They can be leisurely and entertainment oriented, too. Much better than yelling at stupid drivers.
- Is there any way you can shorten the time it takes for you to get ready? i.e. Can you set clothes out the night before or get one step ahead of breakfast some how? Smooth starts are usually a byproduct of end-of-the-day preemptive thinking.
It might take you 10-15 minutes to thoroughly think through these ideas.
The benefit, of course, is that even if you can only manage to find a way to save 10-15 minutes throughout your entire day… you just LIFETIME Xed your investment.
In other words, if you hold true to this idea for 100 days—you just 100xed your invested time. If you hold true for 365 days—you just 365xed your invested time. And if you can keep it going for the rest of your life…?
That’s right—a lifetime xed investment.
Unbelievably worth it.
