"Your time should be managed on the move, because it cannot be paused while you stop and figure things out." - Johnnie Williams III
Each and every podcast episode allow for me to find my way back into the flow - as long as I focus my energy and attention on the theme and thought. My process for producing each message is 3-fold, beginning with tapping in and allowing my marker to dance across the white board that contains my show notes. Once that is done, i usually take a day or maybe a few hours to sit with it, look at it and then move on to record it.
As I walk into my home studio and hit the power button, I am already ascending into a higher state of...or enlivened state. My heart begins beating slower, which is seemingly the opposite of what would be expected, but I actually begin to relax into what will ultimately become another thought stirring experience for whomever might listen. My intent with each episode is to capture my energy during this moment of flow as I focus upon a single-quote I may have created more than 7 years ago. I try to remember where I was and what I might have been doing, thinking or trying to say; and make sure that I allow that to come back to me as I began to share with you the listener(s).
This episode's message allowed me to briefly highlight the obvious notion - that time does not sit nor stand still despite our desire for it to do so. It (time) doesn't slow from the pace we have set for it to tick and tock along with our lives. Therefore, at best all we can do is manage it better and better from experience gained from wasting it or losing it and paying the high price.
I quickly offer up a way that I escape the grip of time and you can as well, before signing off with a couple of questions you should consider answering:
1) When is the busiest part of your day?
2) Where do you get caught wasting the most time?
3) How do you make up for lost time? (and... can you?)
