0:00.0 | Yo, today's QOTS, you can be distracted or you can get epic work done. |
0:07.0 | You can't do both. Here we go. |
0:30.0 | Welcome back to the quote of the day show. I'm your host, Sean Crox and a shot Crox and |
0:40.0 | calm. We've got one of my favorite speakers, Robin Sharma on the show today. |
0:45.0 | And today, Robin is talking about the difference between being distracted and actually getting |
0:51.0 | work done. And no, I'm not about to go on one of my rants about how we waste so much |

1:57.0 | We got to start getting stuff done instead of researching forever and ever and being distracted. Here's Robin. |

2:19.0 | So my brother and I could read it every morning before he went off to school. |
2:23.0 | And I'd love to share it with you because it simply said, spring has passed. |
