You Live.
You Die.
But in between, You Simplify.
This was something I came up with when I saw a post on LinkedIn by Elizabeth Pampalone asking for a poem.
Me? A poet? NOPE! But hey, I think it makes sense, let me explain it a little…
if I asked you how much time you
actually waste when you're at work
what would your reply be to think about
it for a moment now the reason why I'm
asking this is earlier today and you're
not too long ago this was posted up by
somebody I know and respect her name's
Elizabeth she does social media
marketing and a lot of other stuff as
well and she posts a lot of things and
this came up and literally within a
minute I came up with you live you die
and in between you simplify now it
sounds like a tagline for my business
and to be honest it might be they might
even use it but I came up with it on the
fly and it kind of triggered me into
thinking about we this is basically life
you live you die and you do stuff in
between my point is you have 24 hours in
a day you sleep eight hours generally
work about eight hours and you have
eight hours to do what you want to do
but obviously in those eight hours that
you do what you want to do you travel to
work if I mean we're not doing that
right now but you're traveling to work
and stuff so actually it kind of narrows
it down to about four hours of of stuff
that you can do keeping away from the
weekends but when there be easier if you
had more than eight hours for your own
life and in order to do that you'd
actually simplify stuff at your in your
work in your job so you could have more
time to do the stuff you want so the
point is if you simplify everything you
have more time to do what you want so
you live you die and in between you
simplify meaning the in-between bit is
actually really really important because
what we do in between life and death is
our legacy that we how we feel that we
leave behind and wouldn't it be good
that you had the memories of those
things rather than going oh
I wish you know I could work more no one
ever says I wish I could work more
everyone says I wish I wish I did that
sooner or I wish I could make this
easier I wish I could wish I could have
more time or to have more time you've
got to organize your life better so if
your work is eight hours basically let's
just say the amount of stuff that you
can get done in your work in eight hours
it is immense it's it's a massive amount
of time but if you're being distracted
again it goes back to this distraction
thing these videos that I made in the
past couple of days if you go go into
the get distracted all the time you're
not going to have those eight hours to
do the things that you actually need to
do at work and if you work for yourself
and you don't you eat into that time so
you have eight hours of working it out
of play of personal life and those eight
hours turn into 12 hours or 14 hours and
I know it happens because there are days
that I do it but not constantly you can
do it now and again but eats into your
personal time so make sure you simplify
so between life and death you can
actually enjoy the time you have and
enjoy the the moments with your loved
ones and for me it's worth it wolf is
down there chilling anyway have a great
weekend
hopefully this made sense it was a bit
of a weird one but this really kind of
resonated with me so I wanted to make a
video about it have a great weekend and
I'll see you on Monday see you then ciao
the way
