What to do when you’ve done nothing with your day

. . .

Wait, how is it six pm already?

I’ve done so little.

My little ego pulsates.

A sense of subtle dread rises.

I catch it and unfold it like an origami swan.

Inside the swan, there is a note. It says:

Focus on what matters most.

What matters most?

Ah yes. For me, it’s the small, compounding beauty of writing.

That’s what matters most right now.

It doesn’t seem like much, but that’s where zooming out comes in.

Zoom out until your desk is filled with hundreds of glistening rooftops.

String together the little things that matter most, and you realise you have leverage.

Turning a bad day into a great day only requires you to do one little thing that matters.

Now you have something you can grip.

Like a lever that releases a boulder from the earth.

If you’re running out of day, do one small thing that matters.

What matters most for you right now?

I always feel an initial pang of ick in my chest when I’m about to tell you about one of my courses.

But then I remember that these courses help people, and the more frequently I tell you about them, the more of you get a chance to enjoy the benefits.

Today, I’m promoting my guided course to help you master mind clarity in less than a week. With clarity, you’ll have the inner wisdom to know what to prioritise in your life.

When applied, it works. My method is unconventional.
