What are you actually saying when you say you are too busy?
“I’m too busy” translates into one of three honest sentences, and none of them sound as good out loud.
- I’m too busy
- Work out roughly where yours went last week.
Who built something with less time than you?
Plenty of people have built serious businesses on far less free time than the average person who claims to have none.
Where did your last 168 hours go?
Most people cannot account for forty of their weekly hours, which is an entire working week that simply vanishes.
You are not too busy. You are busy with the wrong things, and you know it.
