Welcome to Before Breakfast, a production of iHeart Radio. Good morning. This is Laura. Welcome to the Before Breakfast podcast. Today's tip is to let time do its job. In many cases, time is the secret ingredient in success. And time can help us do things that we couldn't do immediately on our own.
Today's tip, like some others over the next few weeks, comes from my new book, Big Time, A Simple Path to Time Abundance. This book, which is out May 5th, is about what happens when you truly believe time is big enough to accommodate what matters to you. With some smart strategies, it is possible to fall in love with your schedule. Big Time is about how to do just that.
One of my favorite insights that I came across while writing Big Time is that patience is a superpower. When we keep putting time into things, time will help us accomplish things that seem impossible at the beginning. This is obvious in the natural world. One of my favorite children's books is Christmas Farm.
which is about a little boy named Parker and his neighbor Wilma and how they plant Christmas tree seedlings. They prune and water the trees for five years. As Parker grows, and the trees grow too. The ingredients they need are sunshine, good earth, water, and time. It would be ridiculous to expect a tree to grow immediately.
But give a tree five years, and it goes from being small to big enough to fill a living room. So it goes with many things in life. When I first start learning a challenging piece for one of my choirs, it can seem impossible. Who can figure out all these rhythms and dissonant harmonies or what have you? And yet, with practice and time, I do figure it out.
And those melodies burn their way into my brain until they seem completely obvious. Many people have trained for their first races with approachable programs like Couch to 5K.

Chapter 2: What is the main message about patience in this episode?
That is indeed the promise of what can happen in three months. You won't go from sitting on the couch to running 3.1 miles immediately. But in 12 weeks, a very high proportion of people can, in fact, train their bodies to go a lot farther than they have before. Time is the secret ingredient. Friendships are also built over time. Spending relaxed time with someone repeatedly will make you closer.
And if you keep doing it, you can become great friends. But you can't do that overnight. Time is your friend in making friendships that last. So if there is something you would like to do in life, see if patience might be your superpower too. What can time do over time? If you write a little bit a day, you can write a book in a year or two.
If you walk and run a little farther each day, you can run many miles in a year. If you study strategically for a few hours each week, you could take a big exam in a year or two. You can't do it immediately, but you can do it in time. Time will pass eventually. And if we keep moving forward... is big enough to work with us, helping us do things that seemed out of reach before.
In the meantime, this is Laura. Thanks for listening. And here's to making the most of our time. Thanks for listening to Before Breakfast. If you've got questions, ideas, or feedback, you can reach me at laura at lauravandercam.com. Before Breakfast is a production of iHeart Media.

Imagine an Olympics where doping is not only legal but encouraged. It's the enhanced games. Some call it grotesque. Others say it's unleashing human potential. Either way, the podcast Superhuman documented it all, embedded in the games and with the athletes for a full year. Within probably 10 days, I put on 10 pounds. I was having trouble stopping the muscle growth.
