Summary

Do you know why most people are scattered?

Because they don't schedule shit.

When I was a kid, we didn't have cell phones, gps, or anything beyond a clock and our personal commitment to being responsible for getting to where we needed to be and on time.

Why?

Because if we were late, we got our asses whipped.

So I always made sure I was always 15 minutes early.

If you're not 15 minutes early, you're late.

When I started my business, I had to have a more organized way to get things done on time and on schedule.

When I got married and started having kids, I needed to make sure I made time with my children, my wife, and family obligations.

As I was juggling everything, I had to be more protective and strategic with my time.

And I made a new rule.....

If it wasn't on my calendar, it wasn't real and didn't get done.

I urge you to take this on as a policy in your life.

Schedule things.

Schedule time.

And if it doesn't fit into the box on your calendar, it's not getting done that day.

If you want to get more done and be more productive you have to be more strategic with your time.

0:00.0	Welcome to the rewire podcast.
0:02.0	I'm your host, Ryan Stumann,
0:04.0	and I'm here to rewire your mind for success.
0:07.0	You were put on this planet for success.
0:09.0	You were created to succeed,
0:11.0	but the force of average is after you every single day,
0:14.0	my brothers and sisters,
0:16.0	and this podcast is the one thing that's designed
0:19.0	to help you fight the force of average and excel in
0:21.8	every area of your life. We're glad that you're here. Most people struggle in their schedule
0:28.8	because they don't really have a schedule. My son the other day he was asking me,
0:32.6	said, man, dad, you're always on time or early everywhere. Why is that? Well, when I was young,
0:36.5	I got my either my butt beat up or my assude for being on time or early everywhere. Why is that? Well, when I was young, I got my, either my butt beat up or my ass chewed for being on time. If you weren't 15 minutes early
0:42.8	to whatever you were doing in the 90s, people called the police thinking you are missing
0:46.6	person. We didn't have GPS trackers. We'd have cell phones. We didn't know where anybody was
0:52.2	at any time like we do today. So we showed up 15 minutes early because if you were on time, a minute or too late, the bus might have left. The car might have left. You might not have caught a ride to wherever we were going. That was always my biggest fear growing up was that I was going to get left behind. I don't know that it ever happened to me, but man, I was always scared about that.
1:10.9	That and being kidnapped, neither of those things ever happened to me, right? But as I got older and
1:16.2	busier and running a company and managing a team and running a family, I realized that, you know,
1:22.0	work-life balance is bullshit. You have to make time for what you prioritize in your life, period,
1:27.2	whether it's work, life, whatever the case may be. But I realize I've got to run my whole life by a schedule. And I've talked about this on this podcast multiple times throughout the years that I've been doing. This is worth saying, again, everything I do is on my Google calendar. Wife's got something for me to do. She puts it on the calendar. Kids got something for me to do,
1:44.6	puts it on the calendar. We have a flat screen Google calendar on the wall at our house that everybody
1:51.4	adds chores to, everybody adds meetings to. All my team at work has access to my calendar.
