so like 10 o'clock last night I was at the gym getting swole I was listening to
a guy named Dan Ariely who's a behavioral economist he was talking
about why we work in his entire sort of thesis was predicated on the idea that
we work because we want to not because we have to it made me think about my
YouTube channel and the fact that I've made like 600 videos in the last couple
years and how much I and all the things I don't get to do in life because I'm so
focused on my work the vast majority of the work that I do including here on
YouTube I get paid for but it definitely is not why I show up I get it out of
this like longing or hunger for accomplishment or this idea of needing
to complete something professor I was listening to he equates it to like
climbing a mountain which is a perfectly
it's an appropriate analogy because I love climbing mountains look here is a
picture of me and my homie Graham at a nearly 23,000 feet above sea level
my brother van put that note in there right after we got back so why don't we
climb mountains I don't get paid to climb mountains it's not fun do I look
too happy then I'm not a happy I'm close to death right there we climb mountains
for the same reason that we work it's because as human beings you have this
desire to do something to complete something money is the topic that I
purposely try to avoid for the five years that I've been making videos
because I just I just feel like it's not important to anyone and I just want to
make entertaining videos don't get me wrong though I don't hate money I'm not
gonna pretend like it doesn't matter to me because it matters to everyone but
when I started doing YouTube I was in college I was on a student loan I
couldn't even afford a proper computer that I could record gameplay on so I was
lucky I managed to sell some artwork that I made online and that's how I was
able to get started some of you know this story but shortly after I quit
college and so I had to get a job and I took whatever job I could get which was
to work in a hotdog stand and a lot of people like to take this story as
something negative or like oh he did that or I can't believe he used to sell
hotdogs now look at him making big bucks it wasn't like that at all for me I was
the happiest I was at that time because I was finally for the first time in many
many years doing what I wanted to do and the fact that I could make videos was so
much more important to me that I had to spend a few hours a day doing a job that
wasn't that prestigious I didn't know you could be big and well I know people
who were big at other type of videos but there was no one big at gaming and I
didn't know you could make money out of it so it was never like a career that I
just quit college to pursue it's just something I just love to do and here we
are five years later and it's it's exploded and what people I
guess don't really think about until it's in their face is that I have nine
billion views and that translates to something there's ads in my videos I
make money out of those so whenever it comes out how much I made a certain year
people just get so shocked and a lot of people also which I saw were very very
angry they thought it was unfair they thought I just sit on my ass all day and
I just yell at the screen over here which is true but there's so much more
to it than that and I understand that people just haters gonna hate right but
I don't know I I really think that money doesn't make you happy
I am just as happy as I am now as I was five years ago I'm I'm very happy that I
don't have to worry about paying rent because that was a huge issue when my
state came over to Sweden we could barely afford it so I'm happy about that
but other than that it doesn't change much probably read about this at the
leader who had no title but I want to reinforce the idea for you which is
every day get up in the morning ask yourself this self coaching question
what five things need to happen between now and the last hour of today for this
have been an exceptionally productive day
why do you do that because five little goals achieved every day at the end of
one year at the end of one month is 150 little goals achieved and at the end of
one year almost 2,000 little goals to achieve
so it's not only that you've achieved 2,000 meaningful goals in 12 months from
this be log in a world where we are so distracted but it's also what the
achievement of those goals have makes a few in terms of a better thinker a
better performer a more confident person so your daily vibe is a fundamental
tactic to leave without a title we don't build the lives we want by saving time
we build the lives we want and then time saves itself here's what I mean I
recently did a time diary project looking at a thousand and one days in
the lives of extremely busy women they had demanding jobs sometimes their own
businesses kids to care for maybe parents to care for community
commitments busy busy people I had to keep track of their time for a week so I
could add up how much they worked and slept and I interviewed them about their
strategies from my book one of the women whose time logs I studied she goes out
for a Wednesday night for something she comes home to find that her water heater
has broken and there is now water all over her basement if you've ever had
anything like this happened to you you know it is a hugely damaging frightening
sopping mess so she's dealing with the immediate aftermath at night next day
she's got plumbers coming in day after that professional cleaning career
dealing with the ruined carpet all this is being recorded on her time log winds
up taking seven hours of her week seven hours that's like finding an extra hour
in the day but I'm sure if you had asked her at the start of the week could you
find seven hours to train for a triathlon could you find seven hours to
mentor seven worthy people I'm sure she would have said what most of us would
have said which is no can't you see how busy I am yet when she had to find seven
hours because there is water all over her basement
she found seven hours and what this shows us is that time is highly elastic
we cannot make more time but time will stretch to accommodate what we choose to
put into it and so the key to time management is treating our priorities as
the equivalent of that broken water heater so how do we do that how do
we treat our priorities as the equivalent of that broken water heater
well first we need to figure out what they are I want to give you two
strategies for thinking about this the first on the professional side I'm sure
many people coming up to the end of the year giving or getting annual
performance reviews you look back over your successes over the year your
opportunities for growth and this serves its purpose but I find it's more
effective to do this looking forward so much you pretend is the end of next year
you're giving yourself a performance review and it has been an absolutely
amazing year for you professionally what three to five things did you do that
made it so amazing so you can write next year's performance review now and you
can do this for your personal life too I'm sure many of you like me come
December get cards that contain these folded up sheets of colored paper on
which is written what is known as the family holiday letter bit of a wretched
John reveal it er ature really going on about how amazing everyone in the
household is or even more scintillating how busy everyone in the household is
but these letters serve a purpose which is that they tell your friends and
family what you did and your personal life that matter to you over the course
of the year so this year's kind of done but I want you to pretend it's the end
of next year and it has been an absolutely amazing
year for you and the people you care about what three to five things did you
do that made it so amazing so you can write next year's family holiday letter
now don't send it please don't send it but you can write it and now between the
performance review and the family holiday letter we have a list of six to
ten goals we can work on in the next year and now we need to break these down
into doable steps so maybe you want to write a family history
well first you can read some other family histories get a sense for the
style then maybe think about the questions you want to ask your relatives
set up appointments to interview them or maybe you want to run a 5k
so you need to find a race and sign up and figure out a training plan and dig
those shoes out of the back of the closet and then this is key we treat our
priorities as the equivalent of that broken water heater by putting them into
our schedules first and we do this by thinking through our weeks before we are
in them I find a really good time to do this is Friday afternoons Friday
afternoon is what an economist might call a low opportunity cost time most of
us are not sitting there on Friday afternoons saying I am excited to make
progress toward my personal and professional priorities right now but we
are willing to think about what those should be so take a little bit of time
Friday afternoon make yourself a three category priority list career
relationships self making a three category list reminds us that there
should be something in all three categories career we think about
relationships self not so much but anyway just a short list two to three
items in each then look out over the whole of the next week and see where you
can plan them in I truly believe this there is time even if we are busy we
have time for what matters and when we focus on what matters we can build the
lives we want in the time we've got
