We can always make more money but we can never make more time. It is a non renewable resource. Credit to @neilpasricha in his book the #HappinessEquation for the idea of 3 buckets of 56 hour. You sleep 56 hours/week (8 hours per night times 7 nights. If you sleep less than 8 hours then it is most likely only making the quality of your waking hours worse.). 50 hours a week for work seems to be the new 40 and then you have commuting and thinking or stressing about work while at home, so its about 56 hours/week there as well. That leaves us with 56 hours left each week to spend them as we want. Use them well! One area that seems to steal away more time than we ever intend for it to is our phones. The smart phone (like many things in life) is a great servant but terrible master. One way to make sure we aren’t wasting time is to monitor/limit the time spent on our phones. The StayFocused app on Android is good for this as well as Forest app for iphone. I limit my instagram time to 20 minutes a day. Some days I get kicked out. Some days I stay under. Any time we use in one area of life will be stolen from another. Sacrifice your time where it most benefits your life and reflects what you believe in. Be intentional with how you use your time or it will use you! #MayhemAthlete #CrossFitMayhem #BeBetterOnPurpose Background Information on Jake: Jake got his undergraduate and master’s degree at Tennessee Tech University in the Exercise Science Department, and is currently at Tennessee State University finishing his final year in the Doctorate of Physical Therapy program.
