So here are three ways to cut the crap out of your life and become more productive immediately.

The first one, say no by default.

It's a wild concept to consider that no matter what you're asked to do by other people, just say no.

Protect your calendar.

Treat it like a bank account that every time somebody asks you to do something, they're essentially asking for you to give them money because they are.

It's your time.

You just don't realize it.

Every day has 86,400 seconds.

Think about that as in dollar bills.

Every time somebody asks, hey, you got a second?

They're not asking for a second.

They're asking for maybe $17, maybe $60.

Like what are they asking for?

And if you wouldn't give them that, protect it, which then allows you to choose how you use your time, which I'm going to get into in a second.

If it aligns with your goals, then it's an easy yes.

If it doesn't, then you say no.

But be careful because there's this middle ground of things that will stretch you, that will scare you, that will put you outside of your comfort zone.

And I don't want you to get too quick to say no.

If it aligns with your goal and it pushes you outside of your comfort zone, those are the ones that are yes.

So next we have to audit your time weekly.
