This is part of the reason why I want people spending 15 minutes a day on the stuff that lights them up that engages them.

And I know I can hear the people, I can hear you all out there, saying like, yes, but Sam, that would be selfish.

That'd be selfish of me to spend 15 minutes on my own thing.

And I want to say, again, you've got it backwards.

Because what's actually selfish, what's actually an imposition on us, is when you are walking

around exhausted and stressed out and with no sense of humor, and the rest of us have to deal

with you like that.

That is selfish.

You show up, rested, prayed, meditated, walked, creatively, creatively. and the rest of us have to deal with you like that. That is selfish.

You show up, rested, prayed, meditated, walked, creatively fulfilled, whatever it is.

We love that version of you.

You're calmer, you're less reactive, you're a better listener.

Like, please, please claim that 15 minutes for yourself. And do the thing that you know keeps you a little bit lit up inside.

That's Sam Bennett.

get it done, start right where you are, and most recently the 15-minute method, the surprisingly

simple art of getting it done, have helped thousands of people make the most out of their days.

So you'll learn, one, the impressive amount you can get done in just 15 minutes.
