I want you to make a Google sheet,
00:00:01
really simple, and I want you to have
00:00:03
the time slots from 5:00 am to, you
00:00:05
know, midnight, what, however long you
00:00:06
work, in 15 minute increments, and I
00:00:09
want you to set a timer, easy timer,
00:00:11
kitchen timer, like for cooking, for
00:00:13
every 15 minutes. And every 15 minutes,
00:00:15
I want you to when it dings, I want you
00:00:17
to write down what you did. One or two
00:00:19
one or two words. Doesn't doesn't take a
00:00:21
lot. Now, as soon as I say that, people
00:00:23
are like, "Oh my god, I don't have time
00:00:24
for this." I will promise you it will be
00:00:26
the most productive week of your life
00:00:27
because you will be aware of how you're
00:00:28
spending your time. Every time I do
00:00:30
this, I immediately think I should do
00:00:32
this all the time and I don't. So just
00:00:34
do it. Just do it for the one week.
00:00:36
Okay.
