The greater the automated income you can build, the freer you will become. Taking the first step is the hardest, but 5 houses later living off automated income since July 6, 2016. You’ve got to start taking steps to achieve your goal.

Amazing woman

"I don't have time" = "It is not a priority."
This is actually true!!!
If someone gave me $10,000 to learn English, I would definitely do it immediately.
So, stop saying that I have no time!
Time is elastic. It depends on what you choose.
So, if you want to do something, right now, write down 3-5 things that would make it a great year for you professionally.
Put them on priority.

Arrogant style of speech, I like it 😂

Humanizar o ambiente. Humor leve. focar na solução e menos problemas.

We should be relaxed and elastic at some extent.

I eat my feet

Blablabla

The problem is you think you have time - Buddha

Great speech😊

Utilising time is a choice . We have time for what matters. If we do what matters then we'll have the life that we want .

At the beginning, I say peace be upon you, but after
Oh man, what has deceived you about your Rabbi ,the Generous, who created you and fashioned you, and in what form did He create you?
Allah created the night and the day
Make the night slumber
And He made the day visible

Allah made lawful for us and forbidden for us, and gave us an example of everything, but man is the most controversial thing until the way of the ancients comes to him and he sees the torment coming.
The profit of time is linked to the satisfaction of the conscience, i.e. the soul, but the soul taught it from its creation.
Staying away from the forbidden, such as gambling, drinking alcohol, watching pornographic films, all of this is forbidden, isn't it?
Get married, choose the righteous husband, do beneficial deeds, and do not cooperate in sin and aggression.
I don't want to talk too much about what I say that time is linked to fate and fate is in our hands.

So true! Thank you!!!

Thank you.

1. Instead of watching TV and every time there is an ad, skip it, don't watch it.
2. We don't build a life by saving time, we build our life and time will give birth by itself.
3. We cannot create more time, but time will stretch to match what we choose to do.
4. It's not that we don't have time, it's whether we want to or not.
5. The more detailed the goal, the better.
6. Actually we have a lot of time.
7. Small moments have great power.

You guys are having free time?? 🙄

Everything i do, every minute i spend, is my choise
And rather than say
İ dont have time to do x, y or z
She'd say, i dont do x,y or z
Because it not priority
İ dont have time often means its not priority

Research shows that exposure to blue light wavelengths (peaking at a 460 nm) stimulates the body's production of serotonin and dopamine. So your dopamine system is telling you that/making you feel as though your survival depends on watching (this is the definition and root of all addictive behavior)

very good I enjoy it thanks

you look pretty in this outfit

In fact, every Chinese junior or senior student stay at school for at least 10h every weekday:(

Ukraine no more need dirty energy from russia they now use mother nature power as she suporting them

While I fully agree with your findings - There is time provided we plan ahead starting with our priorities; there is a crucial element missing in this equation - Energy! You can find time, however, try working a job that involves travelling to different countries 3-4 days a week every week, or taking care of >2 kids, or dealing with any other energy (physical and mental, physical is actually easier to deal with), draining events - health conditions, emotional difficulties, constant change e.g., and you may find time but nothing in the energy tank. Physiscal depletion being a lot easier to deal with - leaves you the change to work on intellectual persuits. It's mental energy (lack of) that stops you from any meaningful progress and enjoyment. The usual counter balance activities being physical exercise, exposure to nature e.g. feel more of a "must do" at that point. Hence, people opting for the easy way out - instant gratification, that in the long run depletes their energy reserves even more. It's a constant balance between priorities, time, energy (mental and physical) and opportunities. That's why it's so hard, and so rewarding when you keep in balance!

Yeh! I totally agree with you as when we know what are our priorities ,we automatically come to know what we have to do nd after completing that wr feel pretty worthy . So priortize things to get ur path early 😊

"We build the lives we want, and then time saves itself." This sentence made me think deeply about my value of life. Also, the sentence "I don't have time" often means "it's not a priority" was instructive. After watching this video, I thought that I had to use my free time efficiently and I should make plans. Thank you for making a good video, and have a nice day!

I've been practicing to utilise my breaktime at work, listening to podcast while driving to workplace and try my best to have at least 1 hour study time at night... it really make a significant impact on how I learn things and make progress...

Free time implies you waste time. Nothings wasted in time or you have no life. Not watching. Im sure the video is a stepping stone though.

Good advice

Me watching this on a friday afternoon 😮

كل شي اقوم به و كل دقيقه هي اختياري

I loved hers tips about how can we enjoy time with ourself , we need to be the management of our own time but we need to learn how . I confessed , I have many difficulties to mananger my free time, I like to wash TV and sleep kkk

Indeed, we should build the lives we want by being resourceful, and see things, particularly time, in how much value they actually have. That is, seeing every minute and every second as a period of time when we can do something, or try to do as much as we can when we see time or there is suddenly some spare time. Moreover, this I think, the ability to see time in its true value, hugely influences a person’s success, as we see those who succeed, almost all of them I would say, know how to manage their time, when they also know what are their priorities, meaning what things matter more to them, and what are not. If we model successful people and the way they approach things, we will be just like them.

So far the best video I have seen on Time Management

As we don't have time enough to commit everything in our lives, so we need to make sure whether it is invested into good deeds or not👍

Wonderful🤩

Возможно, в 2017-м эта информация была чем-то новым и уникальным, но, если так подумать, сейчас эта речь кажется довольно банальной, учитывая, сколько методик по борьбе с прокрастинацией и тп придумали к 2023-му...

Writing on this topic for a makeup assignment. However, I chose this topic because it interested me. I will keep this knowledge in the back of my head.

😊😊😊😊😊

kinda utopic

Time is our choice.

Sometimes it is not just about the time. It is about the energy you have.
