You Can Plan Forever, But Nothing Changes Until You Commit To One Next Step
Planning feels great until reality shows up. We’ve all sketched beautiful lists, only to watch them dissolve under meetings, family needs, and the next urgent fire. Today we turn planning into progress by committing to a simple, visual flow that respects your bandwidth and fuels momentum: brain dump, weigh impact vs effort with the DAMN Matrix, then sequence one big rock at a time.
We start by pulling every idea out of your head and onto a surface—career moves, skills you want to learn, health goals, neglected projects, and relationship investments. Once the fog becomes visible, we score each item for impact and effort so the real priorities stand out. High impact and low effort rise to the top for fast wins; high impact and high effort follow to channel that momentum into meaningful outcomes. Low impact items get an honest review, so time‑sinks don’t quietly steal your focus.
From there, we make the critical shift from options to order. Instead of juggling five priorities and delivering average results, we pick a single next move and “walk the plank” one task at a time. We cap Month One at eight items—two per week—to match real capacity and protect existing commitments. No date‑drama yet: sequence first, schedule later. This self‑first framework isn’t selfish for its own sake; it’s how you refill your energy and show up stronger for your team, your clients, and your family. Progress becomes visible, resentment fades, and your calendar starts reflecting what you value, not just what’s loud.

00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:07.679
I want to like slap you across the face and wake you up just a little bit because planning don't mean nothing without commitment.
00:00:07.919 --> 00:00:13.119
So today we're going to close the loop on the whole walking the plank thing.
00:00:13.279 --> 00:00:17.760
Here's a little kind of overview or maybe replay summary of the deal.
00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:27.120
And we started off with the brain dump, getting the big ideas, goals, projects, things that we've been neglecting and delaying, getting them out of our heads so that we can view them.
00:00:27.280 --> 00:00:40.159
And then last time we jumped into the damn matrix, which helps us like weigh the things and give them some weight, give them some value, looking at them objectively as one thing at a time.
00:00:40.399 --> 00:00:43.039
And today we're going to go into commitment.
00:00:43.119 --> 00:00:51.520
So I'll be walking you through what that actually looks like and you know, kind of why I use the thing and how it's helped me in my career.
00:00:51.679 --> 00:01:01.039
If you're a first timer, I'm Jesse, your selfish servant, and I want to help you leave this world better than you found it.
00:01:01.359 --> 00:01:06.319
And the best way I know to do that is with this self-first framework.
00:01:06.480 --> 00:01:10.159
And again, specifically, we're just talking about future planning today.
00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:16.879
It's the process that has helped me bring my crazy, wild, enormous ideas to life.
00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:22.000
And I say enormous because they were way bigger than I thought they were going to end up being.
00:01:22.079 --> 00:01:30.719
And it took a lot more time, but it's helped me keep my business like from going off the rails and helped me continue to serve.
00:01:30.879 --> 00:01:33.120
And so, anyways, it's helped me tremendously.
00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:50.400
I know for a fact that it is helping some other like major, major players out there in the industry also lead their team successfully, get clear in their head, be more present for their families and for all the other things that you know it's super, super easy for us to neglect.
00:01:50.560 --> 00:01:57.599
Um, now I gotta tell you, the tool that we're gonna be looking at, this little template is available to you.
00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:04.560
And so if you want the tool, all you're gonna do is drop double D in the comments, or let's see if I could do this fancy part.
00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:06.319
Where is it?
00:02:06.400 --> 00:02:07.200
Where is it?
00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:10.240
I gotta I got a fancy QR code.
00:02:10.479 --> 00:02:14.639
Boom! So you can scan that QR code, you know, do the clicking.
00:02:14.719 --> 00:02:24.879
Once you scan the QR code, you'll get the daily domination board instantly, you know, some more clicking, and then the follow-up emails, you'll get uh the framework that we're going over today.
00:02:24.960 --> 00:02:26.560
So, anyways, if you want that, go get that.
00:02:26.639 --> 00:02:32.080
Now, if you are out there in the omniverse, glad that you're here.
00:02:32.240 --> 00:02:35.520
Let me know that you're there, let me know where you're calling in from.
00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:39.840
And uh the silent lurkers out there, you know I love you.
00:02:40.159 --> 00:02:52.479
And if it's helpful to you, if you got more questions about this time management thing, um, how it can work for you, if like especially if you're in construction, because you know that's kind of my my sweet spot there.
00:02:52.560 --> 00:03:02.400
I spent a little bit of time there, and these this whole system uh is designed to like accommodate the craziness that we deal with in our industry.
00:03:02.639 --> 00:03:04.960
Let's go to let's do a quick review.
00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:17.120
I know I flashed the thing, but I want to make sure I don't want to like get you lost in the middle of it so that at least you can like start working through this thing uh while you're on the call or right after the call this morning.
00:03:17.439 --> 00:03:19.680
So here is the deal, right?
00:03:19.840 --> 00:03:25.520
So the first thing we do, and this is specifically for future planning.
00:03:25.759 --> 00:03:36.400
Okay, we're not talking about scheduling, so don't worry about your calendar, don't worry about any of that stuff because you start worrying about that, and your brain is gonna lock up and be like, oh my god, I don't have time to do it.
00:03:36.479 --> 00:03:37.599
Like, don't worry about that.
00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:41.039
We're not making any commitments, we're not locking it in yet.
00:03:41.199 --> 00:03:50.960
When you're when you're doing the brain dump, all you're doing is getting those things out of your head, the goals, the projects, the ideas that you've been neglecting, or you keep putting them off.
00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:52.479
We want to see them all.
00:03:52.639 --> 00:03:55.919
We want you to see them all so that you can say, Oh, the list ain't that bad.
00:03:56.000 --> 00:03:58.719
Or like, okay, there's a big list.
00:03:58.879 --> 00:03:59.840
Where do I start?
00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:01.759
And so that's the first phase, right?
00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:03.039
Get it out of your head.
00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:09.360
Things around business and professional growth, personal growth, meaningful connections and relationships.
00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:11.439
Those are the buckets I think through.
00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:18.800
You can totally, totally customize and use this system, this method in your own way as you choose.
00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:30.879
I know I just talked to Jordan, my brother Jordan out there, um, and he's absolutely using kind of the same mental models, but he's using a different um a different medium to like work through the things.
00:04:31.040 --> 00:04:33.120
And so get the thinking, man.
00:04:33.279 --> 00:04:34.399
The thinking is the deal.
00:04:34.480 --> 00:04:38.160
It's not the tools necessarily, but I do have tools available for you.
00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:41.199
So we do the brain dump, get it all out of our head.
00:04:41.360 --> 00:04:47.680
Then the next step, which was last our last live stream, is run them through the damn matrix.
00:04:47.920 --> 00:04:54.720
And the reason we want to run them through the damn matrix is so that we can set ourselves up to start building momentum.
00:04:54.959 --> 00:05:06.000
Now, I want to be clear why momentum is important, is because these are things that we've been delaying, procrastinating, deprioritizing for a long time.
00:05:06.399 --> 00:05:14.319
And so the easiest way to get going, and also they're probably the things that other people in your world are saying, Why are you doing that?
00:05:14.399 --> 00:05:15.120
You shouldn't do that.
00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:17.279
Don't you have other things like all of this stuff?
00:05:17.439 --> 00:05:21.920
These are those super secret little things that you would just want to make progress on but have it.
00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:40.079
And so now we want to build momentum so that we can get comfortable with valuing ourselves so that we can build comfort with putting ourselves first and eventually you know get some major, major strides and start making progress, not just for everybody else anymore, but for ourselves as well.
00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:42.879
And so that's what the purpose of the damn matrix.
00:05:42.959 --> 00:05:47.680
We dump all the stuff in here and we weigh them based on impact and effort.
00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:50.639
If you want all the details in there, let me know in the comments.
00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:53.199
You want to want the replay to to whatever.
00:05:53.360 --> 00:05:55.199
I'll I got them on YouTube, baby.
00:05:55.279 --> 00:05:59.439
So I'll give you the links and go back and consume all of that good stuff.
00:05:59.680 --> 00:06:03.519
And so that brings us to today what we're gonna be talking about.
00:06:03.839 --> 00:06:11.920
So once we've got it all out of our head, and if you notice, everything here is super, super visual, and that's so that we can see it and we can manipulate it.
00:06:12.000 --> 00:06:18.000
Look at these stickies, I can move them around any way I want, and the sky does not fall down.
00:06:18.480 --> 00:06:23.680
We've already given them weight, and it is commitment time.
00:06:24.000 --> 00:06:52.399
So the planning is getting it out of our head so we could see it, weighing, giving some weight or some value in terms of impact and effort for the different ideas, projects, goals, dreams, all of the above, giving them some weight, and then we can use that information to transition into commitment, to transition into this is what I'm going to do first, this is what I'm going to do second, this is what I'm going to do third.
00:06:52.560 --> 00:06:54.720
Again, we're not worried about calendar yet.
00:06:54.959 --> 00:07:00.560
At the end of the call, I'm gonna give you a little sprinkle in a little hint about the calendar part.
00:07:00.800 --> 00:07:03.360
But right now, we're committing to the sequence.
00:07:03.600 --> 00:07:17.120
Okay, so folks, if you got comments, of course, if you're a frequent offender, you've been here multiple times and you've been jacking around with the South First framework and you've you're stuck and you got a question that maybe is not pertinent to what we're talking about uh today.
00:07:17.279 --> 00:07:17.839
Don't worry about it.
00:07:17.920 --> 00:07:18.639
Ask me a question.
00:07:18.720 --> 00:07:19.600
I want to answer it.
00:07:19.680 --> 00:07:33.920
Uh, if you have cheat codes, if you have a personal thing that you do specifically around future planning, like long-term planning and prioritizing the things, drop it in the comments, man, because we could all benefit from more cheat codes, right?
00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:36.319
Especially the world shakers out there.
00:07:36.480 --> 00:07:44.639
Um, we can't help but be compelled to serve people and create a better experience and improve the quality of life of others.
00:07:44.800 --> 00:07:49.600
So any tools that we could add to our toolbox is super, super appreciated.
00:07:49.680 --> 00:07:51.600
For me, anyways, I know for damn sure.
00:07:51.680 --> 00:07:54.079
For other people, maybe I'm speaking out of turn.
00:07:54.240 --> 00:07:56.959
So, anyways, we're gonna go back to the deal.
00:07:57.040 --> 00:08:01.519
So we just did the review and I stopped at the damn matrix, right?
00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:05.600
Because the damn matrix, D A M N, right?
00:08:05.680 --> 00:08:06.959
So it's do these first.
00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:12.240
Anything that is in that first, that top left-hand quadrant means it's high impact, low effort, super quick.
00:08:12.480 --> 00:08:16.319
In the A quadrant, you do those after the first.
00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:17.199
Simple.
00:08:17.680 --> 00:08:22.639
Those are also going to be high impact, but they're gonna be higher effort, right?
00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:27.439
It's gonna take more resources, more time, more energy, burn more calories, whatever it is.
00:08:27.519 --> 00:08:31.600
Uh, but you want to do those second because we're looking at building momentum.
00:08:31.680 --> 00:08:39.200
So, we in order to do momentum, when you're a lazy person like me, it's all about the the quick wins, right?
00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:42.799
What is the things gonna have the highest impact with the least amount of effort?
00:08:42.879 --> 00:08:44.000
I want to do those first.
00:08:44.159 --> 00:08:47.120
Then we get into the third quadrant, which is M.
00:08:47.440 --> 00:08:49.600
Maybe you do those next, right?
00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:55.600
Because they don't have high impact, they're lower impact, but they're also low effort.
00:08:55.679 --> 00:08:58.720
So it could be a nice, you know, way to get a point up on the board.
00:08:58.960 --> 00:09:02.480
And then the fourth quadrant is in need to evaluate.
00:09:02.559 --> 00:09:07.200
These are things that are gonna have low impact and they're gonna take high effort.
00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:08.320
And so, what does that mean?
00:09:08.480 --> 00:09:18.320
You're gonna spend a lot of time, a lot of grief, a lot of irritation, and also you're gonna be putting other things off to get this thing done because you got to pick.
00:09:18.559 --> 00:09:22.399
And if they're not gonna have a lot of impact, do you do you really wanna do them?
00:09:22.559 --> 00:09:28.480
And I'll give you like a super, super uh cheat code that I learned as a result of using this method.
00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:39.039
Is I almost never even find the time to work on any of the things that are in the low impact, high effort box.
00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:50.399
Because I have a big crazy wild brain and I'm overly optimistic most of the time, and I overestimate my capabilities to do things within a short period of time.
00:09:50.559 --> 00:10:00.480
And so, what that means is the stuff that I have in the uh the D box and the A box, those things end up being bigger than I expected, and they take more time and they have the impact I want.
00:10:00.720 --> 00:10:02.320
The other stuff becomes like trivial.
00:10:02.399 --> 00:10:04.000
It's like, okay, I'll just let them fall off.
00:10:04.159 --> 00:10:06.240
Nobody's gonna be mad at me, nobody's gonna call my mom.
00:10:06.480 --> 00:10:08.240
So, anyways, that's the idea.
00:10:08.399 --> 00:10:19.679
All of these little sticky notes on here, they're just these are just my cheap, lazy example way of showing this is where the task lands in terms of high impact and high effort.
00:10:19.840 --> 00:10:26.559
And if you want more on that, like I said earlier, let me know in the comments if you want the link to the replay where we go deep deep on the damn matrix.
00:10:26.639 --> 00:10:30.080
I'll give it to you so you can go watch that and and kind of nerd out on that.
00:10:30.320 --> 00:10:33.200
So now, oh, the scary time.
00:10:33.519 --> 00:10:40.240
If I have any commitment folks out there, if this is the time where you start saying, Oh, I don't know, but what if again?
00:10:40.480 --> 00:10:43.279
All we're gonna think about is the sequence.
00:10:43.519 --> 00:10:44.960
What am I gonna do first?
00:10:45.120 --> 00:10:46.399
What am I gonna do second?
00:10:46.559 --> 00:10:47.759
What am I gonna do third?
00:10:47.919 --> 00:10:48.480
Period.
00:10:48.720 --> 00:10:51.679
We're not worried about do I have the time?
00:10:51.840 --> 00:10:52.879
How long is it getting?
00:10:53.200 --> 00:10:54.559
We're not worried about any of that.
00:10:54.799 --> 00:10:58.559
We're just going to walk the plank.
00:10:58.879 --> 00:11:01.120
If you've ever seen them old pirate movies, right?
00:11:01.200 --> 00:11:07.679
You get on the plank and one at a time, one person walks off the plank, then another one off the plank.
00:11:08.000 --> 00:11:18.320
Because for me, and I know some super awesome people like Megan, she's like a super, super genius, dynamo genius, and she can micro, I'm sorry, multitask.
00:11:18.559 --> 00:11:29.759
I'm not a great multitasker, but I mean, I can do multiple things at the same time, but my delivery or execution of those multiple things is mediocre.
00:11:29.919 --> 00:11:34.559
If I want to do something like to the best of my ability, I can only do one at a time.
00:11:34.879 --> 00:11:52.960
And because life and careers and everything else, um, this thing, this method helps me get clear and feel good about okay, I have all these things that I want to do, learn, accomplish, and I'm at least moving the ball, I'm at least making forward progress.
00:11:53.279 --> 00:11:56.320
I may not finish the thing, it may not be 100% complete.
00:11:56.480 --> 00:12:18.159
I usually discover that it's gonna take a few years to make that thing actually happen, and that's okay as long as I'm making progress, and so focusing on one big rock at a time is the secret, and so what I do because I'm a dopamine fiend, I am a dopamine junkie.
00:12:18.399 --> 00:12:28.720
If I got any dopamine junkies out there, give me a shout out or a thumbs up in the comments um because I want to recognize you and because I don't want to be the only one, right?
00:12:29.279 --> 00:12:37.679
I'm a dopamine fiend, and so being able to see the impact of my efforts fuels me up, and I just want more of it.
00:12:38.000 --> 00:13:08.240
Because of that, I start with my high impact activities and the ones that are gonna take or require the least amount of effort, and so what I do is super, super simple, and this is what I'm recommending to you out there in the omniverse is I go to the D-Box and from the damn matrix, I'm in the D-box and I'm looking at okay, this little black task, whatever it is, doesn't matter, that one is the highest impact with the least amount of effort.
00:13:08.480 --> 00:13:09.039
So, guess what?
00:13:09.120 --> 00:13:10.240
I'm gonna do very simple.
00:13:10.399 --> 00:13:27.440
I'm gonna drag that bad boy down here, and in month one, again, it doesn't matter what month, that's the first thing that I'm going to start that I'm going to commit time to, not finish, not like just commit time to it to start it.
00:13:27.600 --> 00:13:30.720
That's the game because we're talking about momentum.
00:13:31.120 --> 00:13:34.559
And then I come back over here and I say, Oh, okay, what do I want to do next?
00:13:34.720 --> 00:13:45.759
Well, this one has high impact and got a little bit more effort, but I'm gonna make that one second, and then this one, you know, make doesn't have as much impact, but it's gonna be easier.
00:13:45.919 --> 00:13:53.600
So I'm gonna drop that black boy down here, and then I'm gonna go to the next one, and like that's that's the trick.
00:13:53.840 --> 00:13:55.919
And I just keep on going down the path.
00:13:56.080 --> 00:15:13.639
Now I know this this might seem trivial, but I'm gonna I'm gonna expand on it a little bit more because right again, I want to remind you like this whole thing is only about visualizing your big ideas, your big goals, the things that bring you fulfillment and are gonna help you grow into the promise you're intended to be, and visualizing them and giving them some sort of prioritization, some sort of sequence, um, so that you can start valuing yourself.
00:15:14.920 --> 00:15:15.480
All right.
00:15:15.639 --> 00:15:19.080
And so before I go any further, I've got a little webinar.
00:15:19.159 --> 00:15:28.920
Um, and you're you're if you want to see the webinar to learn more of like the whole system, you'll get downloadables and you know all kinds of templates that you want that you could just start using without the workshop.
00:15:29.159 --> 00:15:37.639
But if you want to learn more about the workshop to figure out if it's right for you or if it's right for your team, for your company, come to the webinar.
00:15:37.879 --> 00:15:38.920
You don't know I'm crazy.
00:15:39.000 --> 00:15:43.240
We're gonna have a little bit of fun, we'll have some face-to-face interaction, answer all your questions.
00:15:43.480 --> 00:15:45.080
So if you're interested, let me know.
00:15:45.240 --> 00:15:50.680
Drop, I don't know, webinar in the comments or whatever, and I'll get you the invite so that we can hang out for a little bit.
00:15:51.159 --> 00:15:52.279
Back to the point.
00:15:52.519 --> 00:15:54.279
We went over the deal, right?
00:15:54.519 --> 00:15:57.159
Real quick, I'm gonna show you again.
00:15:57.480 --> 00:15:59.399
Here we are, the damn matrix.
00:15:59.480 --> 00:16:05.000
We get the stuff out of our head, we we give it weight in terms of impact and effort.
00:16:05.159 --> 00:16:07.720
Super simple, man, like not complicated.
00:16:07.879 --> 00:16:19.320
And then based on we take everything from the D-box and we put them in order one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, and then we continue and go and and fill it out as much as you're comfortable with, right?
00:16:19.480 --> 00:16:27.159
Now, I will tell you, and I know for some of us out there, we're seeing this, and it's like, ooh, it gives us a little bit of anxiety.
00:16:27.240 --> 00:16:28.519
But what if, what if, what if?
00:16:28.680 --> 00:16:30.600
That's natural, and that's okay.
00:16:30.840 --> 00:16:35.800
Again, this is just about getting it out of your head so that you can see it.
00:16:35.960 --> 00:16:38.600
And then when you start prioritizing it, guess what?
00:16:38.759 --> 00:16:44.840
If I make a priority and I put it in this order and it doesn't work out the way I want it, guess what I get to do?
00:16:45.000 --> 00:16:59.000
I can change it, I can move it around, but ultimately it helps me look at it from the perspective, okay, these are all the things that I've been wanting to do and get done and learn and etc.
00:16:59.879 --> 00:17:04.440
And I'm going to make a decision to put one ahead of the other.
00:17:04.680 --> 00:17:06.440
Why am I making that decision?
00:17:06.519 --> 00:17:12.680
Based on the current conditions, based on everything that's going on in my life, there's a reason for the sequence.
00:17:12.920 --> 00:17:15.960
And when those conditions change, guess what?
00:17:16.200 --> 00:17:17.799
You could change it.
00:17:18.200 --> 00:17:31.159
And so it's very, it kind of the reason this works for me, and I've seen it work for a lot of people, is because it's not like the high pressure, under duress, what's your five-year plan?
00:17:31.240 --> 00:17:34.359
Break it into small buckets, like no, no, no, no, no.
00:17:34.759 --> 00:17:37.639
What are the things that you want to do, learn, and accomplish?
00:17:37.720 --> 00:18:01.799
The things that you have been putting off health, sleep, exercise, learning AI like there's a bazillion things out there that everybody, especially folks like you, are wanting to learn and spend or invest more time in, but life gets in the way, the job gets in the way because you're a freaking high performer and you're gonna make stuff happen, but you're making stuff happen for everybody else.
00:18:02.119 --> 00:18:09.799
This thing is about continuing to make stuff happen for everybody else and start making stuff happen for you.
00:18:10.519 --> 00:18:18.839
So get it out of your head, run it through the damn matrix, then we put that bad boy in order by walking the plank.
00:18:19.000 --> 00:18:20.759
So I'm gonna go back to that real quick.
00:18:20.919 --> 00:18:27.399
Um, hopefully, I'm not talking too fast because I get excited about this stuff and then it doesn't make sense.
00:18:27.959 --> 00:18:29.000
All right, here we go.
00:18:29.240 --> 00:18:36.439
So you might be wondering, oh my goodness, Jesse, but what do I do about these things?
00:18:36.519 --> 00:18:41.799
Now that I see there's a month one there and a month two, does this mean that I have to finish everything?
00:18:41.879 --> 00:18:43.159
What if I don't finish it?
00:18:43.240 --> 00:18:46.039
Uh uh, I know, I understand.
00:18:47.079 --> 00:18:48.519
You're not gonna get graded.
00:18:48.599 --> 00:18:51.000
I'm not gonna take you to the principal's office, right?
00:18:51.079 --> 00:18:54.359
This is just all about you getting clear, period.
00:18:54.839 --> 00:18:57.319
And so you'll notice down here.
00:18:57.399 --> 00:18:59.480
Let's see how many stickies do we have in there?
00:18:59.639 --> 00:19:04.119
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.
00:19:04.199 --> 00:19:07.240
So there's just enough space for eight.
00:19:08.519 --> 00:19:10.439
And let me show you why.
00:19:10.679 --> 00:19:17.079
The reason these blocks, again, if you're using the mural uh tool, it'll work perfectly.
00:19:17.159 --> 00:19:19.159
If you're using your own, don't worry about it.
00:19:19.399 --> 00:19:20.359
It's not a big deal.
00:19:20.519 --> 00:19:22.679
You could use whatever, you could do it on paper, doesn't matter.
00:19:22.839 --> 00:19:23.959
It's the thinking.
00:19:24.199 --> 00:19:42.039
But now I have my the reason I have eight blocks, only space for only eight blocks in month one, is because I know if I open my calendar right now, I am not gonna be able to do any of those things to starting tomorrow, right?
00:19:42.279 --> 00:19:45.719
It may and I and because I got plenty of things to do already.
00:19:45.879 --> 00:20:00.839
And I also know that I can't just commit all my time to these great, beautiful, magical ideas because then I will fail, I'll start losing credibility, and I will fail to deliver to the people that I am committed to serving.
00:20:01.399 --> 00:20:07.240
So I maximize eight, like the limit is eight for me, it could be more or less for you.
00:20:07.319 --> 00:20:12.519
Actually, Craig, he's a make it happener, and he said, Man, I'm doing two or three this month.
00:20:12.759 --> 00:20:15.399
Perfect, like you understand the conditions of your life.
00:20:15.559 --> 00:20:26.519
But the reason I limit it to eight is because I'm only going to attempt or like commit time to two stickies per week.
00:20:26.759 --> 00:20:27.079
Okay.
00:20:27.559 --> 00:20:29.319
So let me go back to this again.
00:20:29.399 --> 00:20:46.359
This this might seem a little kindergarten y, um, but I'm telling you, uh, if if you're a psychopath like me and and you struggle with kind of executing and having big ideas and overcommitting yourself and stressing yourself out.
00:20:46.759 --> 00:20:48.199
Out, this is the way, man.
00:20:48.439 --> 00:20:52.679
So again, I walked the plank, I pulled everything from the damn matrix.
00:20:52.839 --> 00:20:56.199
I decided in order which one am I gonna do first?
00:20:56.359 --> 00:20:59.399
Which am I gonna do second, third, fourth, and so on.
00:20:59.639 --> 00:21:04.919
The next step is getting it into our calendar, which the next live stream.
00:21:05.079 --> 00:21:06.279
Guess what we're gonna talk about?
00:21:06.439 --> 00:21:10.759
We're gonna talk about the strategically selfish scheduling, right?
00:21:11.079 --> 00:21:13.879
Because I know, I already know.
00:21:14.039 --> 00:21:21.639
You're rolling your eyes over there saying, Jesse, yeah, but I got all these things going on, I got all kinds of stuff.
00:21:21.799 --> 00:21:23.480
I got, I got, you don't understand.
00:21:23.639 --> 00:21:24.839
I do understand.
00:21:25.159 --> 00:21:42.199
I know that part of what kills um me investing in myself, uh, me taking care of better, taking better care of myself is a function of already being overcommitted, of already having too many things on my plate.
00:21:42.279 --> 00:21:45.719
Too what's the too many Ps on my plate?
00:21:46.279 --> 00:21:59.959
And so what we're gonna have to do now is like really just go into our calendar and find the next available point, the next available space, the next empty space to commit, right?
00:22:00.119 --> 00:22:06.599
To lock it in, to take a take an action on the thing that you have been deprioritizing.
00:22:06.839 --> 00:22:12.359
So if that doesn't make sense, please ask me, drop your question out there uh in the comments.
00:22:12.519 --> 00:22:17.079
Um, because it makes perfect sense in my head, but I I also know that like I'm kind of weird, right?
00:22:17.159 --> 00:22:20.119
So it may not be translating, and I understand that.
00:22:20.359 --> 00:22:23.719
But overview, get it out of your head, right?
00:22:23.879 --> 00:22:31.559
Maybe you don't want to come to the to the webinar, and maybe you're not in a position where you can pay and sign up for like the full workshop.
00:22:31.799 --> 00:22:37.240
But here's the thinking get your stuff out of your head, write it down in a notebook, get sticky notes.
00:22:37.319 --> 00:22:41.159
I got these little baby sticky notes that you could, you know, they're super cheap, super easy.
00:22:41.240 --> 00:22:44.279
Just get them out till you could see them, get on a whiteboard, doesn't matter.
00:22:44.439 --> 00:22:48.679
Get the stuff out of your head, and then after you get it out of your head, give it weight.
00:22:48.839 --> 00:22:56.119
I'm gonna recommend that you evaluate each idea, each task that you want to start or a project that you want to begin.
00:22:56.359 --> 00:22:59.399
Evaluate them in terms of impact and effort.
00:22:59.559 --> 00:23:05.399
The higher impact, the lower effort things, those are I'm gonna start first because it feels real good.
00:23:05.480 --> 00:23:17.559
Like that instant gratification is built in, which will start this reinforcing loop so that you can continue like executing and and doing the other stuff.
00:23:18.199 --> 00:23:23.959
And for some people, the idea of being selfish is a challenge, and I get it.
00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:07.679
00:00:07.919 --> 00:00:13.119
00:00:13.279 --> 00:00:17.760
00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:27.120
00:00:27.280 --> 00:00:40.159
00:00:40.399 --> 00:00:43.039
00:00:43.119 --> 00:00:51.520
00:00:51.679 --> 00:01:01.039
00:01:01.359 --> 00:01:06.319
00:01:06.480 --> 00:01:10.159
00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:16.879
00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:22.000
00:01:22.079 --> 00:01:30.719
00:01:30.879 --> 00:01:33.120
00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:50.400
00:01:50.560 --> 00:01:57.599
00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:04.560
00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:06.319
00:02:06.400 --> 00:02:07.200
00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:10.240
00:02:10.479 --> 00:02:14.639
00:02:14.719 --> 00:02:24.879
00:02:24.960 --> 00:02:26.560
00:02:26.639 --> 00:02:32.080
00:02:32.240 --> 00:02:35.520
00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:39.840
00:02:40.159 --> 00:02:52.479
00:02:52.560 --> 00:03:02.400
00:03:02.639 --> 00:03:04.960
00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:17.120
00:03:17.439 --> 00:03:19.680
00:03:19.840 --> 00:03:25.520
00:03:25.759 --> 00:03:36.400
00:03:36.479 --> 00:03:37.599
00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:41.039
00:03:41.199 --> 00:03:50.960
00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:52.479
00:03:52.639 --> 00:03:55.919
00:03:56.000 --> 00:03:58.719
00:03:58.879 --> 00:03:59.840
00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:01.759
00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:03.039
00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:09.360
00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:11.439
00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:18.800
00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:30.879
00:04:31.040 --> 00:04:33.120
00:04:33.279 --> 00:04:34.399
00:04:34.480 --> 00:04:38.160
00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:41.199
00:04:41.360 --> 00:04:47.680
00:04:47.920 --> 00:04:54.720
00:04:54.959 --> 00:05:06.000
00:05:06.399 --> 00:05:14.319
00:05:14.399 --> 00:05:15.120
00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:17.279
00:05:17.439 --> 00:05:21.920
00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:40.079
00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:42.879
00:05:42.959 --> 00:05:47.680
00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:50.639
00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:53.199
00:05:53.360 --> 00:05:55.199
00:05:55.279 --> 00:05:59.439
00:05:59.680 --> 00:06:03.519
00:06:03.839 --> 00:06:11.920
00:06:12.000 --> 00:06:18.000
00:06:18.480 --> 00:06:23.680
00:06:24.000 --> 00:06:52.399
00:06:52.560 --> 00:06:54.720
00:06:54.959 --> 00:07:00.560
00:07:00.800 --> 00:07:03.360
00:07:03.600 --> 00:07:17.120
00:07:17.279 --> 00:07:17.839
00:07:17.920 --> 00:07:18.639
00:07:18.720 --> 00:07:19.600
00:07:19.680 --> 00:07:33.920
00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:36.319
00:07:36.480 --> 00:07:44.639
00:07:44.800 --> 00:07:49.600
00:07:49.680 --> 00:07:51.600
00:07:51.680 --> 00:07:54.079
00:07:54.240 --> 00:07:56.959
00:07:57.040 --> 00:08:01.519
00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:05.600
00:08:05.680 --> 00:08:06.959
00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:12.240
00:08:12.480 --> 00:08:16.319
00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:17.199
00:08:17.680 --> 00:08:22.639
00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:27.439
00:08:27.519 --> 00:08:31.600
00:08:31.680 --> 00:08:39.200
00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:42.799
00:08:42.879 --> 00:08:44.000
00:08:44.159 --> 00:08:47.120
00:08:47.440 --> 00:08:49.600
00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:55.600
00:08:55.679 --> 00:08:58.720
