Wherever you're currently spending your time is a list. If you map out the order of where you spend the most time, then the second most, then the third most — that's a list of your priorities in life. And every single one of those is a conscious choice you're making, which means every one of them is something you can change. Let's use an example. Say you tell me you don't have time to do anything because you're constantly exhausted, constantly stretched thin. The honest question is — okay, where's the time actually going? And a lot of the time, the honest answer is being swallowed in your devices. Hours scrolling. An episode becomes three. A "quick check" of your phone becomes forty minutes you can't account for. And the first thing I'll say is, you can reduce that. You can make a choice to free up that time and reinvest it into your own life. And you might push back and say, 'I need that, it's how I switch off, it's my downtime.' I get it. And at the same time, there's an opportunity to be honest about the scale of it. If that's two or three hours a night, that's potentially over a thousand hours a year. That's not downtime anymore, that's a second part-time job you're working for free, and it's not paying you anything back. A lot of the time, it's not really about the time at all — it's an excuse, because we don't want to expose ourselves to something harder. It's built on fear. This excuse of "I don't have time" — it's just fear wearing a disguise. We use it so we don't have to face the fact we don't actually want to do the thing yet. If I handed you all the time in the world and all the money in the world, you'd probably still not do it. Because it was never really the time stopping you. It was the fear. What's the real number for you — how many hours a week do you reckon disappear like this? Be honest with yourself in the comments, I'd love to hear it.

Hello tribe, I am starting to look into where to live. I may have the possibility to buy something small soon. As far as America, Chatgpt tells me these places are my sweet spots: Olympic Peninsula, Washington - Sequim - Port Angeles Northern Colorado - Loveland - Fort Collins - Longmont Oregon Coast - Florence - New Port Northern California Redwood Coast - Arcata - Eureka For now I am leaving off the East Coast possibilities. Is anyone familiar with these areas? What can you suggest about them or other west coast areas? Also, does anyone know where I can do that test that tells you the best place for you to live geographically based on your birthday? I am open to the EU as well. Will be getting dual citizenship and was leaning towards Sardinia, Italy. Any other suggestions? I am looking for something that has nature and water (I prefer the ocean but will settle for other bodies of water) think Topanga, CA but does not need to be so close to city. Want to be semi-secluded but close to things. More of an artist community town feel. I have medical needs, which is why I may stay in the US before thinking of Italy (although once a resident in Italy, I can get similar care so you never know). If you were starting a whole new life, where would you go? Thanks in advance. 🙏
