THE PLAY OF THE WEEK
How are you spending your time?
The truth is, many of us are caught up in the day-to-day grind, tackling to-dos but neglecting our future selves. We dream of bigger things, but our calendars don’t reflect the time we need to invest in those dreams.
Here’s the secret: Investing time in ‘Future You’ doesn’t have to be a grand, overwhelming gesture. It’s about making small, intentional decisions—blocking off 20 minutes here, signing up for a course there. It’s those small actions, taken consistently, that compound into significant results.
We all have the same 168 hours in a week. How you invest them determines the future you’ll build.
Start by being intentional with your time and ask yourself, am I spending it, or am I investing it?
GET ON THE ICE
Here’s how to start investing your time:
- Audit your time: For five days, track everything you do, down to the minute. How much time are you truly investing in the future you want?
- Create thinking time: Dedicate at least 20 minutes each day to future-focused thinking. Turn off distractions and use this time to strategize, reflect, or plan.
- Set mini-investment goals: Start small. Whether it’s reading a chapter of a book, making one important call, or brainstorming new ideas, each tiny investment adds up.
