You have 168 hours per week. For most, sleep takes 56 of those. A full time job is anyone 40. Food, grooming, exercise add another 18 if you’re reasonably efficient. Misc obligatory bullshit paperwork like taxes or errands, another 7. This leaves you with 47 hours!

47 hours to dispose of as you see fit. You can get so much done in 47 hours! And that’s without counting overlapping eg. food with socialization.

The limit is not time. It is energy, gumption, courage. Those are real barriers! But they are not time.

I know a few exceptional people who truly run out of time, they are going every minute and there are no gaps. The rest of us are killing time on Twitter, watching Netflix, indulging in whatever activity feels that it doesn’t demand too much of us.

If you think your problem is not enough hours, and you’re talking about it on Twitter…believe me your problem isn’t hours.

I think this is important to notice because if you try to solve an energy or courage problem with a time solution, you won’t succeed in getting any more done.

@eshear I can’t remember who said this, it was about a decade ago (gosh), but it was something like “if you know who Daenerys Targaryen is, you’re not [going as hard as you could be].” Translated to today it might be “If you know who Sydney Sweeney is…”

@eshear not to say that one SHOULD go so hard as to be detached from mainstream culture, but it gestures at what is possible
