How Much is an Extra Hour Worth to You?
I have always been fascinated with the idea of how much our time is worth. It’s something I write about a lot on this blog. Whether we are Presidents, CEO’s or an up and coming entrepreneur, we all get the same 24 hours in a day and it’s up to us how we use them.
I did a Google Survey and I asked thousands of people ““How much would you pay for an extra hour in your day?”
The majority of people responded that they would pay between $0-$199. So not very much at all. How interesting is that?
That 72% clearly valued their money over their time in the end.
However, the second highest group of people (11% of those surveyed) said they would be willing to pay over $1000! To those people an extra hour was practically priceless.
So why this huge disparity in how people value their time? Read more
Listful Thinking Turns Two!
Do you ever get one of those Timehop things on Facebook where a picture pops up that you could’ve sworn you posted not that long ago, when it turns out it’s from two years ago!! I’m having one of those moments today as it’s been two years since my book Listful Thinking came out.
Where has that time gone?
I had to make a list:
- There was that time I met Marie Kondo and it sparked joy.
- My appendix exploded.
- Then I developed an online course with my friend Terri Trespicio called Lights Camera Expert to help entrepreneurs, experts and authors get and keep media attention.
- I continued to hear great feedback about a keynote speech for New York Women in Communications.
Listful Thinking has been translated into 10 languages! The different titles and covers of the various international versions of my book all give me a small insight into the cultures they represent. A prime example of this is the Japanese cover which features an adorable robot. Plus there’s now a new language to add to the ongoing list – Korean!
I’m excited to announce the next step in the Listful Thinking journey. I’m launching a brand new course called Listful Thinking Masterclass. It’s designed to help you set up a real system to get more done than ever.
I’ll be personally leading the course each week to give you guidance and tackle the big issues that are stifling your productivity like distractions and procrastination. Check it out here. I can help you make this your most productive year yet!
The Stars Are Aligned For You to Get More Done Now
It’s the beginning of the new year and everyone is already fantasizing about their grand plans for 2017.
You’re in luck because this is the perfect time to get moving on your goals. Not to get too “woo woo” but Mercury Retrograde came to an end on January 8th.
So what does this mean? Well many people believe in avoiding making life-changing plans or decisions during the retrograde, because it’s a time when everything is in flux. They save all this for after the retrograde, when the chips have all fallen and you can make firm plans for the future.
Whether you believe in this theory or not, January is a great time to start planning your future. So how are you going to make this year different from all the other years?
The only way to break out of these patterns and start accomplishing our goals is to take responsibility for our role in that downfall. For example, your diet didn’t fail because a donut place opened across the street from your apartment. (Yum!) It failed because you chose to go there! (Multiple times…)
Bad habits are not just the actions we take, sometimes we can develop bad ‘thinking’ habits. So you might think failure is inevitable, which subconsciously causes you to act in a self-sabotaging manner. This ultimately allows you to prove that you were right about being a failure in the first place and continues the negative cycle. A self-fulfilling prophecy.
This year it’s important to take control and understand how you can break out of that cycle and your bad habits and get more done.
One way for you to get the most out of your day is to sign up for my webinar – “5 Habits That Are Killing Your Productivity & How to Optimize Your Time”.
It’s time to stop being ‘busy’ and time to start getting things done!
I’ll be hosting two sessions of the webinar. One on Wednesday and one Thursday at 8pm Eastern. Pick a day that works for your schedule and sign up by clicking this link.
