- If I 'Had No Time' ...
Two weeks ago, I explained that you can never ‘have’ time but can make it.
Today, I’ll walk you through some real-life examples.

The Big Picture 🖼
Simple math: there are 24 hours in a day.
Let’s pretend that John works for 12 and sleeps for 9, both on the high side.
It may seem like he’s only got 3 ‘free’ hours in the day - but I still see an opportunity.
The reality is that most people don’t work 12 hours or sleep for 9.
Down below, I’ll map out 3 examples.
Explain It To Me Like I’m 5 👦
Today’s topic, as simply as possible:
“Make a little time every day for yourself.”
There’s Time For Version 2.0 Of You 2️⃣
Here’s a chart with 3 examples …
What change will the 2.0 version of YOU make?
… and a bit more explanation below.
John, Dave, & Mark. ⏰
John: The ‘Hard’ Case
He’s working 12 hours per day when you factor in his commute.
When he gets home, he wants to be with his family. He’s not going to the gym.
But John has lots of meetings.
As a starting point, I might coach John to take 1-2 meetings while walking.
Dave: A ‘Common’ Case
After a 10-hour workday, Dave typically has some quality (or carpool) time and dinner with the family, then watches TV for a few hours before falling asleep around 11.
He has a short commute but sleeps until 8 most days because he’s tired.
Dave’s opportunity is obvious: if he’s willing to give up half of his media time, he can get some exercise in a few days per week in the morning.
This will begin a cycle of healthier sleep habits plus burn more calories.
Mark: He’s Less Motivated
Mark works from home but spends 4+ hours on his phone, computer, or watching TV.
He is getting 7 hours of sleep most nights, but he’s very overweight and sedentary.
He’s got plenty of opportunities to change his diet and exercise habits, which I love.
But I’d typically start him with one or the other - not both at once.
These are hypothetical examples; your steps will depend.
If you are a busy man looking to improve your health, I want to hear your story.
Inside, I give tons of FREE coaching, plus you get support from other guys like you.

A simple word, phrase, or thought to take with you:
The new version of you is closer than you might think.
