In Episode #141 I have a discussion with Scott that ends up helping me make a very tough decision.
Scott Maderer, author of Inspired Living: Assemble the Puzzle of Your Calling by Mastering Your Time, Your Talent, and Your Treasures.
Scott challenges the glorification of busyness, emphasizing that being busy doesn’t equal productivity or importance. Instead, he highlights the value of aligning your actions with your priorities and learning when to say "not now."
This episode offers practical insights for living an inspired life by intentionally managing your time, talents, and treasures.
Key Takeaways:
- The Three Ts Framework: Time, talent, and treasures are finite resources requiring intentional stewardship.
- Keystone Habits: Improving discipline in one area often positively impacts others, like health, relationships, or finances.
- The Myth of Priorities: Focus on a single priority to reshape how you allocate time and energy.
- Time is Focus, Not Quantity: It’s about attention, not hours.
- Intentional Trade-Offs: Productivity involves deliberate choices, letting go of less important tasks.
- The Power of "Not Now": Embrace seasons of delay to focus on what matters most.
- Avoiding Burnout: Emotional depletion affects your ability to share talents and nurture relationships.
- The 15-Minute Miracle: A simple exercise to track time use and align activities with values.
- Creating Actionable Change: Use time blocking to ensure essential tasks get done.
- Friction and Smoothness: Add barriers to distractions (e.g., social media) and ease productive habits (e.g., prep for workouts).
- Making Intentional Decisions: Thoughtfully reflect on how you spend time to avoid automatic, unproductive behaviors.
- Holistic Control: Combine awareness, planning, and strategic friction to align your time and energy with your goals.
- A Meaningful Question: How do you answer, “How are you?”
Memorable Quote:
"You always have time for the things you put first!"
This episode will inspire you to rethink busyness and focus on what truly matters.
