Summary
The kabbalists teach that we are given enough time to fulfill our purpose, but only just enough. Which means it behooves us to continuously reassess what fills our time. In this episode of Spiritually Hungry, we discuss how to focus on the kind of busyness that brings us closer to our highest potential, how to assess if we are wasting time being busy on the things that ultimately won’t fulfill us, and helpful changes we can start making towards a more positive and soul fulfilling busyness.

| 0:54.9 | And then as it turns out, where we landed was exactly our conversation yesterday. |
| 1:02.1 | I think that was intentional, but everything I'm thinking about sharing today is exactly what I was |
| 1:06.9 | going through yesterday, oddly enough. It kind of came out of nowhere. I think partly because |

And then yesterday was our first, like, full, full day back leading into, like, a full week. And I felt really overwhelmed by all the things that I had neglected. And then so I do what I usually do, which is shave hours off my sleep time, which is not recommended. And I don't do it so much anymore, but I did it. And the good thing is when you shave your sleep time, it winds up influencing shaving time off my sleep time. Well, you always go back to sleep, though. Not true.
