If you were totally honest, would you say lack of time is that thing that's holding you back from your next level, from you finally reaching your full potential? Welcome to the Millionaire Success Habits podcast. All success starts right here. Hey, it's Dean, and I'm so excited right now in this training during the Better Life series to show you a process to gain 2, 4, 6, even maybe 10 hours a week of time back so you can be more productive. Work on the things that actually move the needle in your life. Hey, we live in one of the craziest, busiest times. Craziest, busiest. I don't even know if that's right terminology, but it's the true story. With our phones right next to us. Oh, my God. They eat up our lives. So how do we find the time to take our business to another level or start our business or grow our career or fix our relationship, be a better parent, make more money, have more freedom, let our creativity thrive and make an impact on the world. How do we do it? I'm going to try to simplify it during the Better Life series. I'm so excited that you're here in less than 10 minutes. What if we all worked on too many things that actually didn't move the needle in our life? So we're going to look through the lens of binary thinking. How does binary thinking have to do with you being more productive? Here's how. Binary is 1 or O. There's no gray area. It's either a 1 or a no. Let's look at it as a yes or a no. Okay. And it's a yes or a no on the things that actually move the needle in your life and the things that don't move the needle in your life. You see, with so many things, especially, did you ever go on Instagram to look up a family friend and two hours later, like, oh, my God, how did I lose two hours? What does that cost you? What does that cost you at the end of your life? I mean, when you're 100 years old and you look back, you're going to be so mad at the time you wasted that you could have achieved the things that you want, that you desire, that you crave, that can impact others, your family, your life, and you and give you control, freedom that you want. Wow. I know. I'm on fire today. I'm feeling it during the Better Life series because this is our time. This is. I don't know about. For you. The last five years have gone by like that. I just looked at a picture of My daughter today, she was sitting on my lap during one of my events and she was like this big. If you're listening, she was like 2ft tall. She's almost as tall as me right now. She's five foot three, going to be 13 years old. I think she's going to be taller than me. But it went by in a flash. I don't want to waste any more time and I don't want you to waste time not having a process to buy you back 2, 4, 6, 10 hours a week. And that time you buy back needs to be allocated to your next level, your full potential. Working on the needle movers, gaining self education, gaining specialized knowledge in the areas that you want to excel or go faster in. So back to the binary thinking, simple as that. You know, this is the Better Life Week. And I talk about the Better Life Journal, my journal, the same journaling, the outcome journaling system I've been using for over 25 years. Yes, my journals. I'm so freaking excited. My journals have launched. They're amazing. If you're watching this, there are four colors that are amazing, but the outside, even though they're beautiful, it's the inside what matters. Non overwhelming process. Simple planners overwhelm me. Apps to save time. Overwhelming. Better Life Journaling changes everything. But here's what I want you to do. I hope you do it in the Better Life Journal a moment. You can go to deansjournal.com and grab one. But right now, I don't care if you use a piece of paper. I don't care if you use the journal that you have. If you have a planner, you probably don't have any open pages, but you could do it anyway. I'm going to encourage you to think through everything you do on a weekly basis and then boil it down to a daily basis. And yes, I'm going to ask you to boil it down to an hourly basis. Now for me, I do this ongoing, every quarter and I do it in my journal and I write down what I did this hour, next hour, and I'll take a whole week because our next level is worth it. And when I start analyzing what I do on an hourly basis, a daily basis, a weekly basis, I start going, oh my God, those things are not in binary. Thinking yes or no? Yes. This is taking me towards the direction in life I want to be. This is taking me towards a better father, a better husband, a better leader, making more impact, making more revenue for my company. It's taking me being, taking me towards the deeper Values that I want to be, building a character of who I want to be as a man. I get to look at those things and say, yes, that is a binary thinking that's a yes. I need more of that in my life. But simultaneously, on the opposite side, I'll find things where, oh my God, I can't believe I still do that. When I hang out with that person, it really, really brings me down. I have to eliminate that or, oh my God, I can't believe I'm still driving to Home Depot to get those things. I can have somebody do that online or do that for me. And I'll start finding every quarter. When I do this, I start finding out all the things that don't move the needle, don't impact God, the universe, my children, or who I want to become. And they start getting off the list. And when they go off the list, I make sure I take that time and I move it over to the things that actually move the needle in my life. Binary thinking. The heck with the gray. The heck with, well, that's kind of good, kind of bad. No. Yes or no? Does it bring me to where I want to go? Does it make my company more money? Does it make me a better human? Does it make me a better dad? If it's a no, it's got to go off the the list and throw it out. And that's why I carry this journal. It's never more than two feet away from me because I'm always trying to figure out what I could do less of. And here's the secret. If you know anything, if you read my book, Millionaire Success Habits, this is a great reminder. When you start finding the things you shouldn't be doing, the list of things you must do, great, but the things, like, it's a waste of time. Do one of three things. Delegate it to someone else. Give it to someone else. If it needs to get done, automate it. There's so many ways to automate things in today's world, but my favorite is the third. Eliminate it. So you're going to delegate, automate or eliminate and cut it out of your life and watch time open up. But just do me the favor. When you find the 2, 4, 6, 10 hours a week, fill it with the things that can take your life, your family's life, the impact you want to make to another level. And watch how fast you grow with this simple message on how to buy back time in your Life in under 10 minutes. And this is the Better Life series.
