personal development productivity time management Apr 30, 2024

It’s 6:37pm and you’re still working.

Your spouse texts wondering when you’ll be done.

You look at your list and, though you accomplished 5 important things for your goals, you still have three tasks left. You know your spouse will be frustrated if you don’t stop, but you feel overwhelmed by those three tasks.

You tear yourself away from work, and head home for dinner. All evening you’re technically home, but your overwhelm keeps your brain stuck on the three items you didn’t solve.

Once your spouse is in bed, you fire back up the laptop and try to get one more done, hoping to fight back that feeling of overwhelm.

You skip your workout the next morning because you start work early, hoping to get ahead of your feeling of overwhelm. You check your phone first thing and see your to-do list for the day already seems impossible.

Head in your hands, you say to yourself “There’s not enough time…”, then you get to work, because you already feel overwhelmed.

Sound familiar? Yeah, for me too. I said “you” above, but replace that with “Andrew” in all instances. This was my functional experience for nearly a decade. And it cost my dearly:

  • Diminished impact even when I was working due to stress
  • Lost my sense of smell for a season
  • Inconsistent workouts and poor eating habits
  • Strained relationship with kids and my wife

I’m living proof that it can be different, but it takes doing the work to change your habits related to time (start here - it's free), then rewiring your brain to make time management easy.

In this video, I show you the simple hack to do just that. 

Spoiler: it’s simple, but it’s not easy.
