✋ Stop Wasting Your Life!
+ Intentions instead of resolutions | Wisdom Letter #224
Do you struggle with time management? Like there’s just too much to keep track of in life? So many things to do, so little time.
Do you feel a constant overwhelm of having too much on your plate combined with the nagging fear that you’re always missing out on something crucial.

It’s just the world we live in.
The way out is not by becoming super productive, and trying to do everything in the world all the time.
Because you’ll never be able to master time.
Instead, the solution in surrendering to time, and admitting that there’s only a small number of things that you’ll do, and everything else you’ll ignore.
And that’s OK!
