Why most people lose time unnecessarily

The woman stepped inside the café, took one look at the queue, turned on her feet, and left.
Her hunt for morning coffee would continue elsewhere.
She'd made a bet.
That she'd save time by finding another café, hopefully with a shorter queue.
People are making these choices all day, all the time. We all know how precious a commodity time is.
Life is short, and we feel it.
We are drawn to things that promise better uses of our time.
• Beautiful holidays, even if they cost more.
• Quick-fix solutions.
• Outsourced help.
• And paths that promise time saved.
But we overlook the best way to save time:
A still mind.
We make better decisions when we get good at lowering self-induced stress through worry and rumination.
Decisions rooted in un-clouded wisdom instead of confused thought-heavy illusions.
I've lost literally years of my life to poor decisions I made when I was overly stressed, frustrated, angry or simply confused.
Over the years, I learned how to have clearer thoughts.
I learned how to reduce overthinking and bouts of rumination.
I've saved thousands of hours thanks to developing the skill of stressful thought reduction.
It is a skill.
And it can be learned quickly.
And If you'd like to save time through the power of a still mind, you might like my course, Untethered Mind.
The course guides you through all the steps you need to master stilling your mind.
