Summary
On today’s episode, Brian Tracy shows you how “consequences” are the key to managing your time and becoming successful. Taking inconsequential actions creates inappreciable results. Are you spending your time working on things that have no real consequences? What can you do today that really matters? How can you minimize distractions like texts, email, and social media so you can really get things done? Brian also discusses the difference between fast and slow thinking, and how you can use slow thinking to make better decisions in life and business.
