Summary

What if you could change your life in 7 minutes? I’m here to tell you it’s possible. In fact, I’m doing it myself. It’s called The 7-Minute Principle, and it’s the idea you can do anything for 7 minutes.

Here’s an example. A former student of mine had drama around doing the dishes. For years and years, she HATED doing them.

One day, she decided to time herself. It took her 7 minutes. All of the drama dropped immediately because - let’s be honest, you can do anything for 7 minutes and it’s not that bad. Now apply this to other areas of your life.

What would your email inbox look like if you spent 7 minutes cleaning it up?
What would your laundry situation look like if you spent 7 minutes folding clothes?
What would your morning routine look like if you spent 7 minutes getting ready?

In this episode, you'll learn the ins and outs of this simple but life-changing hack.

Try applying this principle to your life for one week and see what changes you experience. It’s a small change that can make a huge impact.
