Constraints work to help, not hinder. If someone who works for you complains of having no time, give them more work. They will quickly work out a better way of doing things, eliminate the unnecessary and focus on the most important first. You can do this to yourself of course. It is just harder to see.

What would you do with an extra hour per day? More from the Blog What leads to the good life is the good life. Should you save money and hope you live to 65 before enjoying yourself? Or, should you piss it all away in Vegas, buy fast cars, enjoy yourself now as you do not when you will die? Life is full of paradoxes. Why not do both? It is often said that you should live each day as if it were your last. But I think it was Derek Sivers who said that this is terrible advice. You will end up blowing all your money each day and making bad short-term decisions. Better, he says, to live as if it were everyone else’s last day. You would likely be kinder to everyone you met. This is a great thought exercise for empathy and connection. You never know what someone else is going through. And everyone has their own shit to deal with. Live each day as if it were a lifetime. You would want to cram in a bit of each thing that made you happy. And you would not want to go to bed with any bad feelings left out in the open. Live like this for two weeks and see what happens. Enjoy the journey. Fed up of meeting hell? Our iPhone app can help. Find out more.

I heard Ed Sheeran talking a lot recently about growing up a weird nerdy kid with a stutter. He said that rap music helped him to get over it and look where his is now.

You won’t get distracted when you work on your side hustle. Family member has cancer? Great. You now have something worth making more money for, so you can give more back. You are homeless? Great. You have nothing to lose so you can try everything You are reading this? Great. You are likely the in the 10% richest in the world, you can do more than 90% of the world’s population think is possible Whatever is holding you back is the key to moving forwards if you set your mind right.
