If you are anything like me, you’ve made the mistake of blaming time for not getting everything you want to do in your life. Statements like “I don’t have time " or “There aren’t enough hours in the day” are as common to say as they are to hear from others, but if we’re being honest with ourselves, they’re just excuses that help us feel better about how our priorities are playing out in our lives.
If you are curious about becoming more intentional about how you use time, then turn up your volume. My guest today is David Buck, who wrote the book on this subject. It’s called The Time Optimized Life, and I feel certain you’ll get at least one great nugget of wisdom out of our conversation.
And hey, if not, you’ll at least get to hear about the type of person I find to be more proud of their lifestyle than both vegans and crossfitters combined, and man, that’s saying a whole lot.
