Jake Burhans argues that saying "I don't have time" becomes true the moment you postpone. A shirt left in the car, dishes in the sink: each delay reinforces scarcity. The decision to act takes zero time. The only real opportunity is now.
If you don't have time now, then literally when are you going to have time? I've had this shirt in the back of my car for 2 weeks. I'm like, oh yeah, I'll get it later when I have time. When I have time, I'll get it. When will I have time? Every single time I look at that shirt, I go, oh, when I have time, I'll do it. Oh, those dishes in the sink. When I have time, I'll do it. I don't have time right now. Well, when are you going to have time? You never will. The time is now. You can make the decision right now to do the thing, right? It's like your viewpoint on life that you don't ever have enough time. So guess what? It continues to be this reality where you never have enough time. If you don't have enough time to do it now, when will you have time?
