What is up time to shine squad Welcome to Episode 26 of time to shine today podcast when you die, your inbox will not be empty, level up and prioritize. This is Scott Ferguson. Let’s level up.

Hey, time to shine today How was my varsity squad doing 40 fanatics, all that good stuff. Thank you so much again, for the positive reviews I’ve been getting. I’m so blessed. Again, this was so far, far, far out of my comfort zone. I just want to kind of start today again by thanking my varsity squad out there and, and for people that and they’re just sending more people to listen and they just feel so great that I’m able to basically regurgitate information that I’ve learned from the giants that I look up to. So again, thank you, thank you. Thank you. And today, we’re going to look at prioritizing your time. The title of our podcast today is when you die, your inbox will not be empty. So let’s level up and prioritize. I’m a kind of guy that unfortunately, I don’t believe in a DD and all that other jazz. I’m not that kind of person. I’m a person that, you know, I will take responsibility for any of my weaknesses. And I’ve just found that I will jump back and forth between projects that I have, instead of finishing the project or finishing even that little segment of the project, I’ll jump into another project, and I found that that’s a major weakness of mine. And then at the end of the day, I’d be like, man, I didn’t get crapped on like, Where did the day go? So I’m going to ask you to be a lot less like me, because it’s a weakness that I work on every single day. And have you ever really just at the end of your day, not knowing how it kind of went by you just kind of went through it and didn’t get a lot done. And that all goes back to prioritizing your day. And I’m 40 I’ll be 48 years old in a couple weeks. And I just know that life goes by super fast and will never going to get everything done. But you must get done. What needs to be done? That’s critical for that day, to have a day that you progressed and leveled up in a lot of people will say, Well, I just never have enough time. And I got to tell you, we have the exact same amount of time as the greats do. People like Bill Gates, Da Vinci, Einstein, Michael Jordan, all the greats that are out there, they had the exact same amount of time is we do but yet they are on a whole other level. They all comes down How they prioritize their day period. You know, Leonard Bernstein, the great composer, which not too many people have heard of them, but I got introduced to him a little bit, a composer has got to be organized for the music to sound right. And he has a great quote, to achieve great things. Two things are needed a plan and not quite enough time. So you ever noticed like right before you go on vacation, you’re able to get so much done in that day and close so much stuff out.

One, you’ve prioritize the day until you have something great to look forward to. So while you’re going through your day, make sure that your goals are set for what you need to attain and not just the goal for the day, but your big picture goal. You’re not going to attain your big picture goal period. And in one day, it’s all going to come down to what I always say inch by inch, it’s a cinch by the yard. It’s hard and I got that front. Rod Harrison. Okay. So with that being said, You’ve got to look at things like Stephen Covey says begin with the end in mind. Make sure you review your big picture goals and strive towards those, but know that this little bit that you’re doing today is going to matter. You’ve got to prioritize your day. And again, it all goes back to your morning routine and how it starts. And I like to pull some from clay Clark, he’s a fantastic marketer. And he’s got his f six program in the the six F’s our faith, family, fitness, finances, friendship and fun. If you can prioritize each one of those and level up your day. By the end of the day, you’re going to attain greatness, you’re going to level up, you’re going to achieve your goals. So again, you’re when you die, your inbox is not going to be empty. It’s there’s always going to be stuff there. But if you accomplish the most important goals of your day, that is what’s going to lead to the big picture. And the next thing you know, it’s going to affect your bank account, it’s going to affect your relationships, it’s going to affect your faith, it’s going to affect all of those facets. In a great way, it’s going to level you up to heights that are just unbelievable. So that’s a real quick Knowledge Nugget, reminding you that when you die, your inbox will not be empty. And then what we’re going to do is we’re going to prioritize our day from the start. That goes back to my last podcasts and Episode 25 about rising and grinding in your mind over the mattress. So get up, prioritize your day and keep leveling up. All right, everybody. It’s Scott Ferguson.
