Notable Quotes:
“So that's kind of my key to optimization. I think it's really important to make note of what you're doing and how long it's taking you and then also give yourself a score. You can look back and be like, OK, this is what I did this week. This is what I did this month. And then you can also look back and say this is what I did this year.”
“I think that's the biggest mistake that people make is they don't even start because they think it's gonna be a lot of work. So I'm gonna give you a few of my favorite things that I think are really easy to implement and can have a huge impact on your life. So 1 of them is something that I've been doing for years, and it's something that I think is so important. That is to have a weekly review. So every Sunday, I take an hour or so and I review the week that I just had. I look at what I did, what I didn't do, what I could have done better, what I'm looking forward to in the upcoming week. And I think that's so important because it allows you to reflect on the week that you just had and it allows you to plan for the week that you're about to have. It allows you to be proactive instead of reactive. And it allows you to be intentional with your time and your energy.
"If you're not taking your time seriously, why should anybody else? I think that's a great example of how you can start to look at your calendar and start to look at your time and start to look at your business and say, Okay, I'm gonna take my time seriously. I'm gonna start to plan out my day. And then from there, you can start to look at what are the things that I need to do? What are the things that I need to delegate? What are the things that I need to outsource? What are the things that I need to automate? I think that's a great place to start.”
“The calendar is the most underutilized tool, and it starts there.”
"Busy feels good, but busy gets you nowhere."
