Episode Highlights

02:56 - Well, I think it's just minimizing at the base level. It's just getting your open cycles down to a manageable thing. And then once you realize and understand what causes stress is open cycles, if you start feeling stressed, you know what it's related to and you can do a quick open cycles inventory. Certainly, it doesn't take three hours once you know what you're doing. Because you can go, "What is on my list I need to take care of?" I mean, I've got my date, my planner, right here on the desk next to me and in this planner, there's a list of 10 or 12 things that I need to get done this week. That's all I do. I just get that one done. Done! Move on to the next one. That's how I manage it.
