I’m always looking for extra hours. This is how I found them.

If you have a Monday through Friday job then you already know how restricted your time is during the week. Your mornings are spent getting out the door so you can be at work at your desk by 8 am. Your evenings are spent as a caretaker to your family. Your nights are spent grabbing a couple of minutes of personal time while you get off your feet because you have spent your day giving of yourself to others. But when do you find time to work on that BAHG (Big Arse Hair Goal) that lives as a spark in your belly?

Nobody is more interested in your happiness than you. Start living intentionally.

Nobody is more interested in your happiness than you. Start living intentionally.

Take a moment and think about how your day unfolds every day. What actions are you taking from the moment you wake up until you lay your head on your pillow at night. If it is anything like most people your day probably goes on autopilot and looks something like this:

  • Get up to alarm. Dread throwing off the covers
  • Clean up, eat, help get the family out the door, get out the door yourself
  • Work through a series of tasks and appointments pushed at you by your job
  • Watch the clock and get happy when the end of the day has arrived
  • Head home. Decompress. Eat. Fit in some personal time
  • Sleep

A Simple Time Management Hack You Can Implement Right Now

A Simple Time Management Hack You Can Implement Right Now

We talk a lot about time management in this crazy world of ours. “There is a never enough time to get done what we want to get done”. Our calendars are stacked with appointments from 6am until 6pm, and sometimes they are double-stacked. If your day goes as planned you will be only mildy behind compared to where you started the day – way behind.

To Do More, You Have to Care Less

To Do More, You Have to Care Less

I want you to repeat a new phrase with me “I choose not to care”. I use that phrase whenever there is a discussion that I am involved with and the outcome is good either way with me. I’ll let somebody else care. As long as somebody cares about each issue, the issue will get covered.

We have a limited amount of time, a limited amount of energy, and a limited amount of emotions. Chooses your battles wisely. Fight for the important reasons, not the cosmetic or ego-based ones.

Say “I choose not to care” more.

Do something this week that scares the crap out of you

When was the last time you did something so scary that you got the shakes and started sweating profusely? If you can’t remember that is the answer right there. It has been way too long.

If you are not regularly doing something that scares you a little or a lot then you are not really loving on the edge of life. Living on the edge is where the fun is. It is the middle of the candy bar. It is the pancakes with the syrup. It is the cold shower at 6am. It is the thing that will wake you up, and will make you smile when you are done.

Do both of us a favor? Do something scary and spontaneous. Today. In the next 5 minutes. This week. Go ahead. Just stand up and take off and go do it. It could be something as tame as a run around your neighbor, or something huge like skydiving. But make the committment to do something. I double-dog dare you. And the come back here and tell us all about it.
