On Investing

From the Inspirational Thought Unit

"Think about what you want today and you'll spend your time.

Think about what you want in 5 years and you'll invest your time."

-James Clear (Newsletter)

My typical day planning stems from what I want to get done that week. When I plan my week, I based it on what I want to get done that quarter. My quarter planning is based on a year plan. Planning for the year is informed by a 5 year projection of what I'd like to have accomplished.

It has taken me YEARS to figure this out. And I still fall into the habit of thinking what I want this day, instead of thinking about the future.

I think this applies in every scene in your life. Take a moment this weekend and think about where you want to be in the spring of 2027 with:

  • Your relationships

  • Your projects

  • Your health

  • Your finances


Plan your days accordingly.
