Summary

Today I’m talking about one of the worst habits people have—saying “I’m thinking about it.” Most of the time, we’re not actually thinking. We’re just stalling and making excuses for not taking action. The truth is, you don’t have time to waste like that. Every day you’re getting older, and you don’t get those days back. In this episode, I’m giving you the fix so you can stop hiding behind that phrase and start doing what you said you would. Show Notes:  [02:22]#1 Put a limit on your thinking time. [07:21]#2 Say No and Move On [15:34]#3 Adding time to situations is akin to committing suicide because you only have a certain amount of life remaining.  [19:27]Recap Episodes Mentioned: 196: Hell Yeah!!!

Adding time to a situation is a bad idea overall regardless of who you are or what you're doing.

0:05.4

Why?

0:05.9

As the sooner you get things down, as soon as you can move on to the next thing.

0:08.4

And the more things you get through, the more life you live.

And work on your game is the system that turns discipline into dominance.

Today's topic is, stop thinking about it.

0:28.6

This is one of the worst habits that human beings have, and the habit is giving ourselves the excuse.

0:36.6

Giving yourself this excuse of, I'm thinking about it, a thing

0:40.9

that, again, we allegedly may eventually do. Yet we never actually get around to doing the thing,

0:48.9

or we just continue thinking about it, quote unquote, not really, but continue thinking about it

actually coming to a conclusion, despite all of this alleged thinking. A human being's ability to think

1:28.2

putting out this episode the proper way. But it's in quotation marks because most of the time
