Josephine Here…

We are already in the third week of the year! How fast days turn into weeks! In a few weeks, you will be closing. How are you feeling about that? I hope you have achieved all that you hoped for this semester.

I was not good at English in primary school and that is an understatement. I used to lead from the back with an E. I looked at a composition I wrote in grade four and I was sure that the teacher just gave me two out of forty for writing my name and probably using a HB brand pencil because the rest of the content was not worth a second glance. I longed for the day I would see the word excellent on one of my exam papers as I would see on some of my classmates and that day finally came!

Cambridge Dictionary defines excellent as extremely good. We would all want to see that word on our papers and that is pretty cool but is that all we should aim at? Being extremely good on paper? Today I would like us to aim at excellence. Which animal is that you ask? Haha…

This means to be consistent in good character, attitude, quality and standards. Wooh all that? Does that sound exhausting? Don’t worry, I will break it down for you in a few lines down. It simply means, to be unapologetically exceptional. Please note that being excellent is not the same as being a perfectionist. A perfectionist wants to get it right all the time which is not only impossible but frustrating. A person of excellence is not afraid to make mistakes because through that, this person learns, and gets to know themselves and their limitations.

However, there is a difference between being excellent in one area of your life and being a person of excellence. I can be an excellent engineer, speaker, writer, entrepreneur and so on but neither of those things makes me an excellent person. Say what now? If I am a person of excellence, it means that I make conscious efforts to be successful in every area of my life. Nevertheless, that doesn’t mean that I am perfect. We are human beings therefore by definition, we are imperfect creatures. A person of excellence is consistent in his/her personal, social, spiritual and career/study life.

Let us go back to our definition of excellence. Shall we? I don’t know if you are like me, my brain cannot keep big words so I form acronyms to help me remember. Our acronym will be GASQ – Good Character, Attitude, Quality and Standards.

Good character

Some people often get confused by the difference between “having good character” and “being a good person.”  There is some overlap between these (many good people also have good character), but in the end, they are two distinct things. It all comes down to a person’s core values and their motivations for acting as they do.  In general, people who are considered to have good character often have traits like integrity, honesty, courage, loyalty, fortitude, and other important virtues that promote good behaviour. These character traits define who they are as people and highly influence the choices they make in their lives. Furthermore, a person with good character does the right thing because they believe it is the right thing to do.  They don’t act because someone else is influencing or pressuring them to do so, and they don’t do something just because they want to look good in front of others. They take the right action because it is important to them to live life according to their values.

Traits of a good character are:

  • Dependability – A dependable character makes a good leader, giving others someone reliable they can trust. When working as a group, they support others and can be counted on to do a job and see it to completion.
  • Kindness: Doing nice things for others without an expectation of anything in return is a good trait that shows an admirable brand of selflessness, setting an example and becoming a role model for others. Do you go out of your way to do things for your classmates?
  • Empathy: A good character is empathetic—they can relate to those around them. Their ability to put themselves in another’s shoes makes them compassionate, understanding and considerate, qualities that make the character more relatable to the other people.
  • Courage: Courageousness takes on many forms. A student who is not afraid to go against the grain or speak up for themselves or someone else, facing difficulties head-on, or one who stands up for what they believe or their core values and so on.
  • Integrity: They do the right thing, exuding enough self-control to make good decisions on behalf of others, regardless of the cost to themselves. They consider the implications of their actions and how they will affect those around them, showing a high level of self-discipline to stay true to their values.
  • Self-awareness: They are honest about who they are and what they want, however, their humility keeps them grounded and aware of their limitations. They have no qualms about expressing their authentic self and do not let their ego impede their ability to be good.
  • Affable: An affable character is easy to talk to, and they are always willing to listen. They get along well with others and put them at ease.

Attitude

A good student approaches their responsibilities with a positive attitude and a willingness to learn. The learning journey for students can often be a rigorous and long-drawn process filled with myriad obstacles and challenges. A positive attitude ensures students can navigate through these challenges and emerge as winners who succeed in life. Having a positive attitude means that you are ready and willing to study the subjects that you like less.

Standards

I’ve noticed that it can be easier to hold people to high standards when they are being paid for their work. However, it can be more challenging when there is no monetary incentive. Your high standards should not be selective, regardless of your environment, whether you are in a paid or free position. Nevertheless, it’s essential to strive for high standards in every aspect of life, no matter how insignificant it may seem. And this also borders on wherever you find yourself, whether paid or free. We all have room for growth and improvement, and personal evaluation is critical to achieving and maintaining high standards. By being intentional about evaluating ourselves, we can identify areas where we need to improve and continuously work towards being our best selves. Holding oneself to high standards not only benefits oneself but also those around us. For instance, arriving late to a group meeting can disrupt others’ schedules, so it’s crucial to communicate any delays and strive to be punctual. High standards are not about perfection, but about striving for excellence in everything we do. When we hold ourselves to high standards, we create a positive impact on ourselves and those around us

Quality

The approach to studying as well as possible and performing to the highest of standards. When you are given assignments, do you prepare well? Do you ensure that you have done your work well – checking for spelling mistakes, and grammar and researching more on the given topics? People admire people who know their work and their subjects, who do things well, who take care of details irrespective of particular intellectual abilities.

I mentioned that I was really poor in English right? I must admit that I was also doing a really pathetic job at excellence. We have seen that excellence has to be all round. My friend and I at the time would spend time laughing at teachers who had very peculiar accents which is a pretty bad habit, we were young and ignorant, I never used to finish my assignments, I would hang around classmates who were labelled as rebels and my spiritual life was totally non-existent. This led to my failing and falling flat on my face at the end of the term which would have translated to my re-doing that class. That! was my wake-up call. I had to re-adjust and quit a number of habits. I started reading like five story books a day, (I am not saying that this is the way to excellence this was just my way), I built a better relationship with my creator, I got better friends who would challenge me to be better, I also stopped laughing at teachers, (I became more compassionate) I started becoming more aware of other people’s needs and finding ways to help and so on. When excellence builds in one area and you are consistent in focused it will definitely translate in all the others. My grades improved from an E to an A. Please note that, that did not just happen, I had to put in the work. I am not perfect. I fail many times but the secret is getting back up again.

Part of excellence comes from doing things with human perfection, putting intensity into our work and finishing things well. Aristotle used to say that, happiness comes from the full use of our powers along the line of excellence. Therefore, details in our work are important, doing things on time, starting on time, finishing on time, taking pride in our work and having rectitude of intention, (the why you are doing what you are doing) going out of ourselves to produce a masterpiece. Martin Luther King said, “that each man called to be a street sweeper should sweep streets as Michelangelo painted, as Beethoven composed music and as Shakespeare wrote poetry.” Are you striving for excellence as a student, as a daughter or son?

Gabi and Salem!

Serendipity!

Gabi (the youtuber) went to Kenya and arrived in Nairobi. When he was explaining what he was going to do, he met a young Muslim man named Salem and they started talking a little.

Salem pointed out the difficulty of getting work in Nairobi and also said that he was going to the town to pray in the mosque.

They started looking for a matatu to take.
Gabi was very happy that he met Salem because walking around in a new city without knowing anyone from the place is scary and the YouTuber said that it can be dangerous.

Finally they reached the CBD (Central Business District) of Nairobi city center after that Salim started talking about his life and how hard his life was and also said his family were waiting for him to give them food like anything they would eat.

Then they did little things while walking around Nairobi.

Then Salem went to the mosque to pray.
Gabi started talking about Salem, how he lives, and how he is a good man, He even said that the value of Salem’s life is his family.

Salem came after 30 minutes and they continued walking until they felt hungry and went to the restaurant, Salem said that he had never been to a fancy restaurant before and he was very happy because Gabi brought him to the restaurant, Gabi told how Salem reacted when he saw the restaurant, They entered the restaurant, sat on the seats, and ordered chicken priano. After they finished eating, they visited KICC, entered the tower, went to the roof, enjoyed the view, and the YouTuber started explaining the city and some animals from there .

After that they wanted to go home they looked for the best matatu to take, Gabi pointed out that in the CBD area you can find the best matatus .

After that, they find one and the Gabi was about to go back the apartment but Salem asked him to visit the place where he lives and his house and the Gabi agreed .

While they’re on the way to go Salem’s house the Gabi noticed that the place where Salem lives is located between two rich neighborhoods.

Finally, they arrived at Salem’s house, and the Gabi showed that Salem and his family are living in a small house.
They entered Salem’s room and Salem gave Gabi a dress,( called thope, the Muslim people wear mostly ) but he said that he could not take it, but he wore it , then Salem started preparing coffee.

While preparing the coffee, Salem showed Gabi the house and said that the toilet and shower were shared by nine families. The coffee preparation was finish and Salem gave the coffee to Gabi .

After that they came out of Salim’s house and the sky started to rain and they entered a small shop waiting for the rain to end. While they were waiting, Salem gave Gabi something (A present to show his gratitude).

10 Tips For A Successful Year!

Leave a comment

Tip number 1.

Manage your time by well by splitting your day into blocks.

It takes approximately 15minutes to get back to your tasks when you are stopped to check emails or text messages. On average 28% of employees days are spent managing interruptions and refocusing on what they are doing. In a 40 hour work week that is 11 hours of time wasted.

That is why it’s advisable to separate your day into three blocks.

Block Number 1. Strategic Block

This is the time block when you work on strategic tasks minimum 3 hours, no emails, no talking to colleagues, no daydreaming about what you are going to eat for lunch.

Block Number 2.  Buffer Block

The purpose of this block is to handle those small tasks such as email or calling your dad e.t.c

Block Number 3. Break Out Block

Success is not about working hard all the time, you must allow your mind to rest and recharge so that you can always work at your full capacity and focus.

Tip number 2.

Work life balance is a lie.

You struggle to find a balance between work, family, friends, health and personal time so you decide to give equal time and energy to each of them.

The problem is that when you do that you over extend and become frustrated. Success can’t be achieved by balancing your time in each area of your life.

Success happens when you intentionally create an imbalance and direct the time and energy towards one or two areas of your life.

Different moments in life will require different amounts of energy and there is nothing wrong with that. The purpose of intentional imbalance is to put your energy where you want it to go.

Tip number 3.

Avoid having too many goals.

Having too many goals means having too many strategies and obstacles. They will quickly drain your energy and will make you give up.

Tip number 4.

Create a routine.

Your execution will suffer a lot if you do not form a routine.

You need a routine for everything, from your sleep, to the time you work or study.

Tip number 5.

Create your model week.

Your model week is kind of like your perfect scenario where you get everything done.

Once you start designing your model week you will quickly be able to say if your plan is realistic or not. If your plan isn’t realistic, you will not be able to find some space on your weekly calendar to put some of the tasks.

Make sure to do this before you start your week one.

Tip number 6.

Avoid focusing on tasks that involve your weaknesses.

Most tasks that you are working on should be based on your strengths, not your weaknesses.

Tip number 7.

You are allowed to say NO, when someone invites you somewhere or someone asks you to commit to something. Say No as often as you can.

Tip number 8.

Don’t multitask. When you spread your attention too thin, over multiple directions. You are not fully applying yourself to any tasks, you are overworked and tired.

Burnout is a likely result and in the end you haven’t mastered anything, you have just become mediocre at several things.

Tip number 9.

Some tasks will not get done and it is okay. Many people believe they can do it all and work day and night to catch up with everything on their plate.

They focus on what they can do quickly to get it out of the way, which puts their strategic tasks in danger. Some tasks will eventually fall through the cracks and it is okay. However those tasks should never be the strategic ones.

Tip number 10.

Celebrate. Even if you did not reach your goals, you still have three more chances and you probably made tons of progress. So celebrate and start and start again.

A Man Apart

Leave a comment

You know a man that has been alone for a while

He doesn’t mind being alone

He doesn’t mind eating by himself

He entertains himself and always stays busy

He’s not out here sharing himself with everybody so that he can feel wanted

He knows His worth

He’s strong but already been through a lot

That’s where he gained his strength

He doesn’t wish the things he went through on anyone

But at the same time, knows he wouldn’t be the man he is not without them

That’s why he knows his worth

Many men would have fallen victim to the battles he had to fight but not him

He persevered

This man has been building himself for years

Nobody is going to tell him who he is or how he should live his life

He knows who he is and where he is going

Anyone who doubts will be proven wrong

Anyone who stands in his way will be discarded.

Happy New 2024!

Reflecting On The Year That Was

Gallery Leave a comment

Reflection is one of the most underused yet powerful tools for success. It is a passive way to pinpoint solutions and strategies with the least amount of effort or wasted energy. It’s the opposite of “trying too hard” of forcing and answer. Reflection is more a matter of allowing an answer to unfold right before your eyes, often with little or no effort on your part.

One of the benefits of reflection is that it enables us to get our egos out of the way. In a quiet state of mind we are able to see things clearly, including our own contributions to problems, new ways of doing things, and the ways we get in our own way. Reflection allows us to sense our self-imposed limitations and some of the blind spots in our thinking.

Reflection is simply a matter of getting out of your way. It’s about quieting down your mind so that answers can arise within the quietness.

As we embark on a new year, let us leave behind the baggage’s that were wearing us down and instead purposely focus on the positive reflections which have the potential to spur our lives into greater heights.

Improving Your Speaking Skills

Leave a comment

When we talk about checking how good someone is at speaking, we look at lots of different things. Let me tell you more about each one:

  1. Pronunciation:
    This is about saying words correctly so others can understand you easily. Like, if you say “th” as “s” or “z” instead of “th”, it might be tricky for people to understand. For example, saying “thanks” as “sanks” might make it a bit hard for others to know what you mean.
  2. Fluency:
    This is about how smoothly you talk without stopping too much or getting stuck on words. It’s like when you’re telling a story to your friend and you talk without pausing a lot, keeping the conversation going smoothly.
  3. Vocabulary:
    This is about using different words and knowing what they mean. For instance, instead of always saying “happy,” you might say “joyful,” “cheerful,” or “delighted” to show different kinds of happiness.
  4. Grammar and Syntax:
    This is about using the right rules for making sentences. Like saying “I am going to the park” instead of “I is going to park.” It’s important to get the words in the right order and use the right verb forms.
  5. Content and Relevance:
    This is about talking about the right stuff and making sure it all makes sense. If you’re talking about pets and suddenly start talking about outer space, that might not make sense. So, sticking to the topic is super important.
  6. Interaction and Engagement:
    This is about talking with others and being part of the conversation. For example, when someone asks you a question, it’s good to answer and ask them something back. It makes the conversation more interesting.
  7. Non-verbal Communication:
    This is about using your face, hands, and body to help with what you’re saying. Like when you smile to show you’re happy or nod your head to say “yes.”
  8. Cultural Awareness:
    This means knowing about different cultures and how to act or talk respectfully. For instance, some things that are okay to say in one place might not be okay in another place. So, being aware and respectful of those differences is really important.

Remember, practicing speaking helps get better at all these things! Whether it’s talking with friends, reading aloud, or joining activities that involve speaking, practicing regularly can make a big difference in becoming a good speaker.

No One Said It Would Be Easy

Leave a comment

Good people will do what they find honorable to do, even if it requires hard work; they’ll do it even if it causes them injury; they’ll do it even if it will bring danger. Again, they won’t do what they find base, even if it brings wealth, pleasure, or power. Nothing will deter them from what is honorable, and nothing will lure them into what is base.

If doing good was easy, everyone would do it. (And if doing bad wasn’t tempting or attractive, nobody would do it.) The same goes for your duty. If anyone could do it, it would have been assigned to someone else. But instead it was assigned to you.

Thankfully, you’re not like everyone. You’re not afraid of doing what is hard. You can resist superficially attractive rewards. Can’t you?

What is Personal Effectiveness

Leave a comment

“You will be the same person in five years as you are today, except for the people you meet and the books you read.” — Charlie “Tremendous” Jones

In your journey of personal development and self-improvement, a solid foundation in personal effectiveness is key.

You need to start with the right knowledge to build your inner core from the inside out.

For your journey, I’ve curated a selection of timeless and impactful books that serve as cornerstones for personal growth and greatness.

These books encompass character development, habit formation, and emotional intelligence.

They will equip you with the tools and insights you need to navigate life’s challenges, make meaningful changes, and cultivate your personal effectiveness starting with your inner core.

Why Build a Core of Personal Effectiveness

Here are three compelling reasons to build a core of personal effectiveness:

  1. Achieving Your Dreams: Personal effectiveness is the compass that guides you toward your dreams and goals. It empowers you to set clear objectives, manage your time wisely, and make informed decisions. With these skills, you can transform your aspirations into concrete, achievable plans. Imagine the satisfaction of realizing your dreams, whether they involve advancing in your career, nurturing fulfilling relationships, or pursuing personal growth.
  2. Resilience in the Face of Challenges: Life is full of unexpected challenges and setbacks. Personal effectiveness equips you with the resilience and problem-solving abilities needed to navigate these hurdles with grace and determination. It’s about bouncing back from adversity, learning from failures, and emerging stronger and wiser. By developing your personal effectiveness, you can face life’s storms with unwavering courage and emerge victorious.
  3. Empowering Others and Leaving a Legacy: Personal effectiveness is not only about self-improvement but also about inspiring and empowering others. As you enhance your communication, leadership, and interpersonal skills, you become a beacon of guidance and support for those around you. Whether you’re a parent, a mentor, or a leader, your personal effectiveness can shape the lives of others positively. In this way, you leave a lasting legacy of growth, impact, and empowerment.

Thank You Daddy!

Dear Son,

Remember you have warrior’s blood in your veins

The code that made me as your father is the same code that will make you a man that your children will admire and respect

Put your pain in a box, lock it down, we are men made up of boxes, chambers of loss and triumph, of hurt and hope and love

No one is stronger and more dangerous than a man who can harness his emotions, his past

Use it as fuel, as ammunition, as ink to write the most important letter of your life.

Love Daddy!

The Kipling Poem – What A Man Should Be!

Leave a comment
For Tafadzwa!

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too:
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream- -and not make dreams your master;
If you can think- -and not make thoughts your aim,
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same:.
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build’em up with worn-out tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings,
And never breathe a word about your loss:
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on! ‘

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings- -nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much:
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And- -which is more- -you’ll be a Man, my son!

Four Stages of Elimination in Life

Leave a comment

At 60, the workplace eliminates you. No matter how successful or powerful you were during your career, you’ll return to being an ordinary person. So, don’t cling to the mindset and sense of superiority from your past job, let go of your ego, or you might lose your sense of ease!

At 70, society gradually eliminates you. The friends and colleagues you used to meet and socialize with become fewer, and hardly anyone recognizes you at your former workplace. Don’t say, “I used to be…” or “I was once…” because the younger generation won’t know you, and you mustn’t feel uncomfortable about it!

At 80, family slowly eliminates you. Even if you have many children and grandchildren, most of the time you’ll be living with your spouse or by yourself. When your children visit occasionally, it’s an expression of affection, so don’t blame them for coming less often, as they’re busy with their own lives!

At 90, the Earth wants to eliminate you. Some of the people you knew have already departed forever. At this point, don’t be sad or mournful, because this is the way of life, and everyone will eventually follow this path!

Therefore, while our bodies are still capable, live life to the fullest! Eat what you want, play and do the things you love.

Remember, the only thing that won’t eliminate you is your peer group 😉

So, communicate more in the group, say a hello, maintain your presence, be happy, and have no regrets !!!

Most of all: as the days go- keep close to God- maintain peace of mind- less anger, less bitterness, less envy & jealousy, less drinking, less toxic friends- make God the CEO of your life…

Why Worry?

Leave a comment

Worrying too much about what others think about you is a waster of thoughts. Truth is, they rarely do. Think about expanding your potential, strength and confidence and let mistakes become guiding points that guide you towards your destiny. Some of the best decisions are made from your past experiences and lessons obtained from past choices. Mistakes may be painful and costly, but with time, they become a collection of valuable lessons learnt about decision making. Instead of living with regrets, learn and move on. You may not live long enough to make all mistakes in order to get enough life lessons. Take advantage of other people’s mistakes and learn your lessons.

I’m Slowly Learning…

Leave a comment

That even if I react, it won’t change anything,
It won’t make people suddenly love and respect me,
It won’t magically change their minds.

Sometimes it’s better to let things be, let people go, don’t fight for closure, don’t ask for explanations, don’t chase answers and don’t expect people to understand where you’re coming from. I’m slowly learning that life is better lived when you don’t Center it on what’s happening around you and center it on what’s happening inside you instead. Work on yourself and keep your peace.

12 Life Lessons To Carry You Through Life

Leave a comment

1. Dr. Ben Carson said, “I struggled academically throughout elementary school yet became the best neurosurgeon in the world in 1987.”

 LESSON: Struggling is a sign that you are on a verge of success. Don’t quit yet.

Harsh Truths I Know At 40, I Wish I Knew at 20

Leave a comment
  1. Most of your friends aren’t really your friends. They are just along for the ride when it’s fun or convenient. Your real friends are there for you when you have nothing to offer.
  2. You’ll only see your loved ones a few more times. Remember: It’s later that you think.
  3. Most people don’t really care about you. The spotlight Effect says that we overestimate the degree to which other people are observing our actions. This should be liberating.
  4. You don’t need to have an opinion on everything. It’s perfectly reasonable to have no opinion on something that you haven’t researched or don’t understand.
  5. You probably won’t be remembered or have a legacy. In a few thousand years, chances are we will all be forgotten.
  6. You can tell everything you need to know about a person by observing (1)how they treat service workers and (2)whether they put their shopping cart back.
  7. You can get pretty damn far in life by just saying what you’re going to do and then doing it. No fancy hack needed.
  8. Most of us need fewer friends and more intellectual sparring partners. Friends are easy to come by, but intellectual sparring partners question our assumptions and force us to level up.
  9. Being kind to people is the only real life hack. Kindness remains severely underrated.
  10. We should all stop talking about how many books we read last year. It’s much more impressive to ready one book and have it deeply impact you than to read 100 books and not feel a thing.
  11. You should never bet against a person who just keeps showing up.
  12. Most of the people you look up to and admire are remarkably unremarkable. Their success is not due to some intrinsic difference, but some stellar combination of effort and luck.
  13. If it seems too good to be true, it probably is (and you should run away)
  14. You’re probably being held back by your unwillingness to ask. Remember: Closed mouths don’t get fed.
  15. Failure doesn’t always lead to growth. Sometimes failure just leads to pain. Sometimes the growth doesn’t come from the failure, but from simply outlasting the darkness.
  16. Waking up is the easiest way to improve your odds of success. You don’t have to wake up early to be successful, but you rarely find an early riser that isn’t winning.
  17. Hard work is not overrated. That’s ridiculous. 99% of successful people worked very hard.
  18. Showing up early costs very little and pays off handsomely in the long run.
  19. The world is not fair. Bad people win and good people lose – most of the time. The world may never be truly fair, but it will always belong to those who make the most of what they have before them.

In Order…

Leave a comment

In order to grow…we have to understand that some things that happened in our lives were beyond our control.

When You look back on the past you may wonder that maybe if you had made different choices in your life things would have turned out differently or maybe if you were at a specific place at a certain time things would not have happened the way they did.

They say everything happens for a reason and that things unfold the way it was meant to but often we find that hard to accept.

Not many will understand how hard you really tried to make peace with it all and how some things will never leave you. It’s as if someone just flipped a switch and your light turned into darkness.

I know…life was not fair to you. You did not deserve to go through what you did and I know that sometimes you can’t help but wonder why you were the chosen one.

But I can tell you…the answers that you have always been searching for will be told someday.

1440 Minutes!

Leave a comment

Do you know what you have in common with Elon Musk, Steph Curry, Jeff Bezos, Oprah Winfrey, and J. K. Rowling?

You all have the same number of minutes to use however you choose, every single day.

24 hours in a day multiplied by 60 minutes gives all of us 1,440 minutes – take away a reasonable amount of time to sleep, eat, shower, and hug your kids, and you’re left with 1,000 minutes.

You can use your minutes to conquer the world and earn buckets of money, write books, train for a marathon, hang out with your family, have drinks with friends, buy groceries, meditate, or watch Netflix.

Every day you wake up with a fresh 1,000 minutes in your bank of time.

You are the CEO of that bank, and it is totally up to you to determine how you want to put those minutes to use.

You’re as rich in time every Monday as the actual richest man in the world.

You can no longer think of your time as free.

Big you – successful you – knows that time is expensive, and when we think about our time like we do our money, we can shift our mindset to not throwing it away.

You wouldn’t throw away $100, would you?

Well, that’s what you’re doing with an hour and a half when you’re not being productive – you’re basically throwing your income out the window.

Bye-bye, money!

The clock starts ticking the second you wake up, and if you aren’t aware of how those precious minutes are being used, it will suddenly be 9:00 PM and you’ll be wondering (once again) how you didn’t find the time to call back all of your clients, follow up with that new contract you made last week, or finally have that “date night” with your partner.

“The day got away from me.”

“I’ll do it tomorrow!”

Sound familiar?

That’s because you’re…

1) trying to do too many things at once.

Multitasking is NOT productive. Quit it. It’s much better to make a mile of progress in one direction than it is to make a few inches of progress in ten different directions.

2) failing to make time for the important stuff.

You need to set priorities. Pick three things you want to do today, and then don’t do ANYTHING until those three things are complete.

Want to grow your business? Make an hour of cold emails the first thing you do when you get to the office.

Want to make your business run more efficiently? Start your day by auditing your systems and processes, and then figure out where they need to be optimized.

3) wasting time on things that don’t matter.

Do you really need to spend the first hour of your day reading the news? How about “resting” by watching two hours of Netflix in the evening?

It’s not my place to make those decisions for you – YOU have to determine what’s best for YOU – but I have a feeling that you’d feel even better if you spent that time sending emails, figuring out what your day looks like tomorrow, or spending time with your loved ones.

Time is the only resource you can never get back.

So, where are you spending you 1,000 minutes today?
