…from all my recent reading lately, I’ve come to the conclusion that the greats don’t let the day escape them.
For them, it’s all about control, and not just beating the sun in the morning.
It’s about wringing the most from that day, and not letting the sands of time slip through their fingers.
It’s about clawing back time, sometimes through staff and software, but also through reading and listening, so they can condense learning from others’ years of mistakes down to hours, if not minutes.
It’s about putting what you do, above the attention and distractions everyone else is seeking from them.
It’s about following a daily plan, so they get the most out of their day.
It’s about realizing that if a minute can’t be replaced, then how can I turn it into five, ten, or an hour, through repurposing, reusing, or outsourcing?
It’s about realizing that you’ll never get more than 24 hours in your day. That if you can’t extend it, then you better make sure that you find better ways to make money and freedom in that day.
It’s about knowing that at the end of the day, there’s nothing more satisfying than climbing into a bed knowing you did all you could that day. – And tomorrow you’ll do your best to do the same.
It’s about knowing that life has a countdown and it’s not an endless journey. – So if you want to make things happen you better act now because the clock’s running down.
It’s about putting your work first in the day. – So if the day gets taken from you, you’ve still punched the clock and done your time.
It’s about trying to fail as fast as you can because it’s better to find the outcome of an action today than tomorrow.
It’s about trying to squeeze as much into this life as possible, then doing the least amount and having all life to do it.
Outside. we marvel at what they do, how quickly they get things done, and how focused they are.
But really, it all starts with not letting the day escape them.
Don’t let today escape you.
