Hey everybody, the time has finally come.
This week, starting October 7th through October 11th, that's Monday through Friday everybody, we are revealing the iconic 400.
Yes, Bo and Yang and I famously missed our 400th episode here on Las Culturistas, but we are ready to reveal the iconic 400.
Who is on the list?
Does it matter? No.
Will it be fun? Yeah.
There might even be a surprise or two in there.
So listen carefully.
Listen to Las Culturistas on Will Ferrell's Big Money Players Network on the iHeartRadio app Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Welcome to Before Breakfast, a production of iHeartRadio.
Good morning. This is Laura.
Welcome to the Before Breakfast podcast.
Today's tip is that you don't need to sweat the seconds.
If you make good choices about your hours, you don't have to worry too much about saving every second you can.
So I like life hacks like anyone else.
I probably like time -saving strategies more than most people.
So listeners are sometimes surprised to hear that I don't use a template for Before Breakfast scripts.
Yes, that means I type out the same opening and closing sentences 260 times per year.
Is that efficient? Probably not.
But typing those sentences takes me just a few seconds.
If I had a template that I called up every day instead, maybe it would take me 10 seconds versus 25.
So I could save on net 15 seconds per weekday.
That is an hour and five minutes over the course of a year, which may not be zero.
But since it comes in chunks of 15 seconds, it is almost impossible to use for much.
Unlike money, I can't really save those 15 seconds each time and cash them in with interest.
Typing the opening lines gets me in the frame of mind to write a script.
So it's fine. No need to sweat the seconds.
People are also sometimes surprised to learn that when I am away from my computer, I email myself the data for my time tracking logs, and then transfer the information to my computer.
Once I am back at my desk, it could be much more efficient, I guess, to put a time tracking Google sheet on my phone and enter the information directly.
But I'm fine with my current procedure.
I have been doing it this way for nine plus years.
Is there a quicker way?
No doubt. Do I care?
Nope. When we hear about other people's efficiencies, it is easy to feel like we are missing out if we don't seize that efficiency too.
Sometimes we might even be embarrassed about doing something a slower way.
But there's no real reason for that.
If you are happy with your processes and you have room for what you want in your life, carry on.
I love my work. I'm raising five happy kids.
I train for half marathons.
I sing at a choir. I get enough sleep.
If the big stuff is in place, it doesn't really matter if I could save 10 seconds with a keyboard shortcut.
Indeed, I sometimes find that trying to ring each little second out of something actually makes me feel time poor.
With time, I want to feel like Scrooge McDuck diving into a pile of money.
I have so much time I can waste it, not learning keyboard shortcuts.
That sounds pretty good to me.
In the meantime, this is Laura.
Thanks for listening.
And here's to making the most of our time.
