What are the root causes of distractions that we face daily?
Thank you so much. Great to be here.
Neil, I thought I'd jump in with the first question. I got to admit, when I heard your podcast with Shane Parrish a while ago, I was just like blown away. I thought, geez, this is really fascinating stuff. But one of the things that we talk about on the Australian Finance Podcast is basically how do we protect our money and make money, basically. So we talk about, you know, building diversified portfolios. I know you're an investor, so you can relate to all of this. But we don't talk much about how do we protect our time. So I thought maybe this is a good way to start. How do we protect our time? And what are some of the strategies? I guess even why do we protect our time? What are some of the strategies?
And how do we go about doing this in the first instance?
Yeah, these two topics really do go together like hand in glove. We hear time is money, but I actually think time is more important than money.
