It was not fortune.
It was having strong, supportive relationships, whether that came in the form of family or friends that feel like family.
As we're spending the hours of our week, how do we engage to cultivate those relationships such that they are strong and supportive and that they have the longevity?
So it's absolutely worth the time.
It's just making sure that at the end of the days, at the end of the weeks, at the end of the years, at the end of your life, you have those strong, supportive relationships.
So what does it mean to be time poor?
We have all heard the old phrase time is money, usually in the context of work and productivity.
But the thing is, time isn't just about money.
It's about happiness and health and life and how we use it and the feeling like we actually have enough of it to do the things that really matter is everything.
Problem is, according to a study by Harvard Business School that analyzed two and a half million Americans, many of us actually experienced this thing called time poverty, or this chronic feeling of just having too many things to do and never enough time to do them.
And I think most of us are emerging from the last few years with this newfound awareness and appreciation for how we spend our time and a desire to make our time here on earth really count.
Time is precious, and it's also our one non renewable resource.
I mean, when a dollar is spent, you can earn another.
When a day is gone, it is gone for life.
So how can we move forward making sure we live more intentionally and spend our time wisely so that we won't have regrets in the end?
Or at least fewer regrets?
Maybe.
My guest today, Cassie Holmes, has done incredible research on making the most of the world's most precious resource time.
And I am super excited to tackle these big questions and ideas in this important and timely conversation with her.
