Humans haven't figured out how to create more time. The people who win? They protect it like their life depends on it. Because it does. Time is your sharpest weapon. You either use it to cut through the noise, or you let it dull itself with distractions.

If you're not lethal with your time, you'll lose it. Simple as that.

I talk about urgency all the time. Not just in business. In life. Urgency isn't panic. Urgency is respect. It's knowing time is limited and treating it like gold.

When you move with urgency, you cut the fluff. You get to the point. You stop dragging things out that don't need to be dragged.

The fastest way to kill momentum? Move slow. The fastest way to build momentum? Move now.

People always say life is short. I don't believe that.

I believe life is long.

The question is not how fast you can fill your calendar. The question is how well you can fill your life.

I love to work, but over the years, I've learned there's a difference between being busy and being lethal. That's a hard pill to swallow. People love to seem busy.

That's not bad. It's human.

But the faster you can learn what's not........
