Fat and Lazy

he's dudes here like the counterfeit handbag mafia my goal is to always make it through here without getting murdered day yeah I mean sorry I have my snapchat set so anybody can send me snaps like people I don't know strangers and stuff and the snap that I get the most are from people and it just says bored or it's like a selfie of them and they're like bored nothing to do how are this many people that have all this time and no way to occupy it you could build a city with all the free time that people spend sitting around being bored sending me snaps of themselves sitting around being bored mix it up the format a little bit today's vlog is gonna be about one theme one thing only first I gotta make some props you read what that says that is a fluorescent light that hangs above my office door that says work harder it also says the same thing tattooed on my wrist just in case I forget so today's vlog is about time management and productivity I really want to get into it Seneca said it's not that we have a short time to live but that we waste a lot of it Thank You Ryan for turning me on to that quote and that pretty much sums it up right now it's go time for me I want to maximize every waking second I'm never going to get any younger but right now I'm completely healthy I'm full of energy and who knows how long this will last I doubt it's going to be like that when I'm 50 or 60 years old so I want to do it now with that I wanted to share a little bit of my thinking behind that like a little bit of the logic and then the mechanics behind maximizing or my consideration for really maximizing every day and I know that this is like this is this is crazy person talk but the truth is the only time I really get bummed out or depressed is is what I'm not being productive is when I'm not accomplishing or doing or contributing in any way nothing makes me less happy than relaxation and sitting around with nothing to do what I'm doing here with the Domino's this paper tape measure this overhead shot is I'm going to do an animation of of my day what I think of as a pretty productive day and how I sort of manage my time the dominoes are broken into six different color categories for the tape first is white and that is free time next up is black black is sleep red is work orange is exercise and blue Blues family time last is purple and purple is like fun or partying or playing video games that's purple here are your 24 hours this is kind of how my day looks so starting at 7 a.m. I like to get in 1 to 3 hours of exercise immediately heading into work at 10 a.m. 6 7 ok then I get home at 7 p.m. and that's what I do family time so putting the baby to bed you know stuff like that that usually goes till about 9:00 or 10:00 p.m. so then starting at 10:00 p.m. when Candice goes to bed that's usually when I edit this vlog so from 10 p.m. until 1 a.m. I'm back at work so I 1 a.m. I go to bed and that's when I sleep and I sleep from 1 a.m. usually till about 5 a.m. and then I get up at 6:00 and from 6 to 7 is when I do email so then that's sneaking in one more hour of work so this is my day this is what almost every day looks like there's a slight shift in the weekend this is like a pretty grueling schedule and the reason why it looks like this is this worked I'm here from 10:00 a.m. till 7:00 p.m. my workday it's fairly typical workday this is the time spent working on my new company this is the time I've spent focusing on building this business I pull some minutes out of there to try to catch up shooting this vlog but for the most part my day time my day job is a full-time 50 plus hours a week focus on my new company so then where do I make this vlog where do I work on this vlog I had to steal some hours here from sleep these hours otherwise from 10:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. would be sleep from 6 a.m. till 7 a.m. that would be sleep time is the most precious resource for me right now in life this is the most valuable thing I have and that's why I'm so protective of my time why I'm so emphatic about all this is that I think life is substantiated by whatever impact or whatever contribution you can make while you're alive the finish line is the same for everyone we're all ending up in the same place but while we're here what what contribution can you make work and building things and making things and doing things and spending time with your family those are the ways that I feel I'm contributing that I'm accomplishing something so why wouldn't I want to maximize my time as efficiently as possible to be as effective as I can with that and that is why I say free time is the enemy of progress because free time sitting around is not doing and that's why I try to omit that entirely from my life last one out of the office today

Neat. I don't think I've ever seen a recipe for burnout before.
