| 0:00.0 | What does it mean to live more with less? I'm Katie Wells and welcome to the maximized |
| 0:06.8 | minimalist podcast. If you found yourself caught up in the hamster wheel of modern day |

| 0:29.5 | Time is our most precious commodity. It's finite. We definitely can't create more, |
| 0:36.3 | although some days I know we wish we could. And it's one of |

| 1:46.1 | today. There is a huge difference, massive difference, between spending your time doing something |
| 1:53.9 | and investing your time doing something. So what I mean by that is when you spend time, |
| 2:02.6 | you're really not looking to get anything back. And a classic example of spending time is a lot of us spend time on our phones, |
