| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Darren Daly on demand, your most trusted resource to help you become better every day. |
| 0:07.3 | Here's your success mentor, Darren Hardy. |
| 0:13.5 | Ever notice how everybody talks about wasting time on Netflix or watching TikTok or YouTube videos or playing video games, when they should really |
| 0:21.5 | worry about how they're wasting time working. |
| 0:25.3 | And in today's world, when time is the ultimate currency, where speed determines survival, |
| 0:29.6 | this might be the most expensive mistake you're making. |
| 0:32.9 | Here's the disturbing truth. |
| 0:34.4 | Your biggest time waster is probably not social media, TV shows, or |

| 1:12.2 | doing busy work that goes nowhere, and you feel, quote-unquote, productive. Yeah, you see, |
| 1:18.7 | that's the real danger. I worked with a CEO who was, quote-unquote, busy 16 hours a day, |
| 1:23.9 | calendar, packed, email inbox, full to-. Overwhelming. But his company wasn't |
| 1:28.6 | growing. His team wasn't improving. His goals weren't happening. Why? Because he was doing fake work, |
| 1:35.1 | disguised as real work. A recent McKinsey study showed the average executive waste 40% of their day. |
| 1:41.2 | Oh, that work feels important, but creates zero impact. That's 1,000 hours a year |
