“Unlocking the Hidden Costs of Every Yes: Are You Sacrificing Your True Priorities?”
The Problem of Limited Time
The problem is that nobody has unlimited time. Most of us work for a living. And we have to sleep and eat and exercise and all the other essentials. A week contains 168 hours, but most of those are already spoken for. If you’re lucky, you’ve got one free hour per day that you could commit to something new.
An hour per day is seven hours per week. Which is a lot. With seven hours per week, in a year’s time, you could:
- Get a lot fitter than you are right now.
- Write a novel.
- Learn a foreign language.
- Build a following on TikTok or Instagram or YouTube.
- Read all those books you always wanted to read.
- Binge-watch all the episodes of several long series on Netflix.
- Grow an amazing garden.
- Fix everything broken in your house.
- Hundreds of other things—fill in the blank with your own private dream.
But you can’t do all of those things. You just can’t. If you try, you’ll burn hot for about three days, and then you’ll flame out, and then next year will be just like last year.
