Summary

Have you ever stayed up late scrolling Instagram or YouTube and woken up exhausted? When that happens to me, I always think, "Night Jon screwed Morning Jon." Have you ever decided to change your sheets after you get home from work, only to come home to a completely unmade bed you forgot all about? Morning You screwed Night You. How can you prepare future you for success?

0:00.0	Hey everyone and welcome to the All It Takes Is A Gold Podcast.
0:06.4	The best place in the entire world, including all of Canada, who learn how to build new
0:11.0	thoughts, new actions, and new results.
0:23.3	I'm your host John Eckman and today I'm going to teach you how to prepare your future
0:29.7	self. But first, a quick word from today's sponsor. If you want to accomplish more goals
0:36.1	next year, you should use the calendar that I've been using for the last 11 years. It's
0:40.6	called the Finish Calendar and I love it for seven very specific reasons. Number one,
0:45.4	the Finish Calendar is big and beautiful. It's 36 inches tall by 25 inches wide. This
0:50.1	thing is massive. It gives you enough space to actually plan things each day. Number two,
0:55.5	and that I love it. Finish calendar is reversible. You've got a vertical side and a wide
1:00.5	orientation side. That's like two calendars for the price of one. Me myself, I prefer vertical,
1:05.8	but I also like that it comes in two versions, traditional paper and dry erase. Number three,
1:10.7	reason I love it, it makes time real. When someone says, hey, John, can you do that project in the
1:15.4	next six weeks? That time feels fictional to me. Six weeks from now, I can't even wrap my head
1:21.3	around what will be going on then. I need to be able to see the whole year, not just talk about it.
1:26.3	Number four, reason I love it. It's a Monday focus calendar, which means each week starts with Monday.
1:31.0	A lot of calendars start the week with Sunday, but that's not how my head works. Monday is the first
1:35.6	day of the week to me and Sunday is the last. For example, I don't know anyone who plans their new
1:40.3	week on Saturday night because Sunday is the first day of the week. Number five, reason I love it.
1:45.2	Studies show that planning when and where that you're going to work on your goals doubles the
1:50.5	chances you'll achieve them doubles it. That's amazing. This calendar makes it easier. Number six,
1:55.8	the finished calendar has 12 encouraging statements on it that I wrote to help sling shot you into a
