Common Mistake & What To Do About It
Welcome to the one day at a time podcast where we forget about yesterday. We don't worry about tomorrow. It's what are we going to do today? This all matters because you've only ever had or will ever have the fantastic twenty four hours a day you're about to embark on. So hopefully this episode is going to give you some daily dose of wisdom that you can take action on today to improve your life.
Speaker 1:And remember, all it takes is one day at a time. Oh, it's Wednesday. It's it's hump day? You think it matters? What do you call today?
Speaker 1:You've got twenty four hours a day. That's all that matters. Stop naming these days. You've got twenty four hours. And I'm now on TikTok, get in, that's a TikTok classic guys straight into your ears in this one day at a time podcast.
Speaker 1:Hello, hello, Scott Tic is here. What have I got to say today? Basically, I'm just gonna share a story happened to me yesterday. It might have relevance, it might not seem to sharp voice note. Basically, do you know when I tell you guys, got to track your macros, and you got to make sure you are tracking everything honestly in and out, so you know where you're at.
Speaker 1:And then if you do that, you basically get the results, right? And then you stop lying to yourself or you stop kind of knowing you're hiding stuff or you're nibbling, and then results don't come. Well, I was looking through a lot basically in terms of business yesterday, got an invoice for something that I thought was going be an x amount but it was way higher. Now to start with, I was shocked. Was like, what?
Speaker 1:How can this happen? I was like, this always happens in business you always get you always under undervalued or you're gonna have to spend right. So it's the reverse of the macros with the macros you like always overestimate underestimating what you're eating. So actually, yeah, you're you're overeating so you might not miles off and then when it comes to to the financial side, you always think things are gonna be less, but they end up being more than nice. So I was like, why has this happened?
Speaker 1:Like, I'm just looking to, I hadn't been tracking the transactions going out to the business for a while. I haven't been looking at what's coming in. Kind of knew kind of where it was at, but I didn't look at it in like a lot of detail. So I spent a good few hours doing it. And I'll tell you what's the shock when you go into detail about something and you realize, wow, like, you know, I just spent an hour or two canceling subscriptions for like software tools or like things we didn't need anymore, or like updating this and that and then you end up saving loads and you spend you know you spend like an hour or two and then if you compare what the other cost you over a year you can save potentially hundreds if not thousands of pounds by just doing like an analysis.
Speaker 1:So it really today is like on this magnificent hump day or from a TikTok persona and this doesn't matter what day it is, do an evaluation. So whether that could be financial, whether it would be a macro evaluation in new job, whatever it may be, like, do an evaluation and then spread that out over time. So spread it out till the end of the year and be like, right, if I kept going in this trajectory right now, with my finances, or with my nutrition, or with my work ethic, and whatever, what does that really look like if I map it out, and then basically you can start reverse engineering. If it's not something, if it's not the result you want, then the reverse engineer is like, how can I make it better than result not going to end up in there? If it is the result you want you still reverse engineer and go what type of person do I need to be to get to that place.
Speaker 1:Does that make sense? And then I'm gonna share this framework right. So this is like the no waste decision making process. So you need to create a decision making framework to consistently make fast choices that align with your long term goals and principles, right. So the person I want to be framework or whatever you want to call it the I framework and it's very, very simple and you've come across a lot of these stuff in terms of values and stuff before, right?
Speaker 1:But basically, the person you want to be, do you want to exercise routine? Yes we do. Do we want a meal prep? Yes we do, saves us money and basically kind of guarantees all macros. What type of person you want to be in relationships with your partner and your parents and your siblings?
Speaker 1:What type of person do want be in terms of gossip and communication? What about the wardrobe? What about the clothing you wear? What about your view on risk? Right.
Speaker 1:And then in terms of the risk, I've got a very good decision making progress in this process in this. If I don't understand it, and I don't want to spend hours looking into it, it's a no. A lot of people now are like, I wish I could into Bitcoin. Oh my god. I'd have been loaded if I got into Bitcoin in 2011.
Speaker 1:Yeah. You didn't. But you didn't. You didn't do it in 2011. You didn't care to look into it in 2011.
Speaker 1:And when you would have wanted the stress and the volatility since 2011 till now, Would have you sold today or would have you sold in 2012 when they're under when I'm in massive dip and then you panic? Like, you can't think of things like that. So you have to have these decisions. This is like, no, flat out, and you can do this with as many things as possible and then business principles and morals and stuff. Right?
Speaker 1:So you basically create a document of all the things you want to be and you run through your decisions through that document. So then you can have a quick yes or no answer. Right? So you don't have to be like, should I do this and that and let your chimp brain make like some kind of decision for you. But you just say, is this in line with the person I want to be?
Speaker 1:And then you check your, you know, what your spreadsheet says about why you want to be in those regards and if it doesn't align it's a no straight away there's no even thought about it it's just a no. So you want to pick like eight to 10 categories so physical, spiritual, career, family whatever and then I would say put them in a spreadsheet some people put them in index cards whatever it is. And then you write in so you write them down and you gotta take time doing this. Like, you gotta take time. So this is what happens.
Speaker 1:You wake up one day, go, do know what? I can't be bothered to meal prep today. I'll just pick something up from the shop. Does the person you want to be just pick something up from the shop? No, they're not.
Speaker 1:Not going to do that because they know the letting it run to that they'll end up buying food they don't want really right. So you would do the meal prep. No ifs and buts, you commit. The non negotiables, right. So it's easy, you don't have to waste energy thinking, right.
Speaker 1:And Jeff Bezos does this good thing where he says, will this outcome, will I regret it more than I dislike it? So like you look at things and he goes, what's gonna be well, like, is that gonna be something I regret more? And if it is, he'll do it. So he doesn't want to regret in the future. So you need to create this framework for yourself and I think it'll save all of you a lot of time.
Speaker 1:Will the person you want to be skipping your daily walks? No. So every time you think I can't be asked go for a walk, look at your sheet. The person I wanna be will never skip on a daily walk because it's great for mental health. There was really an article on Apple News yesterday about an American girl living in London who started walking.
Speaker 1:So she was basically in a New York office before and she never went on lunch breaks, always sitting down. And then when she's over here due to COVID as well, she went on a lot of walks and she lost a hell of a lot of weight. She said her mood massively increased, her mental health massively increased. She's just an all around happy person and all she did was add in walking every day, took in the beautiful views around her where she lived. I think it's Camden or something.
Speaker 1:So yeah, you know, do that thing today, do an analysis and do that framework, save yourself time in the future. So the point of today is do an analysis, spend your time taking action that's going to save you either money or time or decision making processes in the future. But it does take a few hours just to grunt to get it done. So get a coffee and you can get it done. What day is it?
Speaker 1:No, it's not hump day. It is any other day, every day, whatever you want to call it. One day at a time, twenty four hours, all you got is today. Make the of it. If you're tired and you're in bed right now, get up.
Speaker 1:If you got this plane on your Google Home next to your bed, get up. But it's the last week, this is the last three days to go. So, what you wanna do these last three days? You have access for life, but there's only three days to go. Let's get it done.
Speaker 1:But I'll see you when will I see you? Tomorrow in the webinar for the total membership. So do please turn up for that if you wanna know more about it. And that's it. Thank you for listening to the one day at a time podcast with your host, Golf Leer.
Speaker 1:Hopefully, you understood something I said. I hope that some wisdom kind of distilled through into your mind, and I want you to now action it today. I don't want you to think about tomorrow. I don't want you to think about yesterday. I want you to think about leaving a review on this podcast.
Speaker 1:I don't want you to think about going to another website. What I want you to do is as soon as this podcast ends, you will take action and make the most of today. Ground yourself today, follow the one day at a time philosophy, and your life will change.
