(0) Intro
0:01–0:23
Time management, soul force management—focus on what really matters, moment to moment. This will be a fun masterclass exploring time management through a unique lens. It’s less about classical time management and more about the greater context in which it operates.
0:23–1:10
We’ll start with familiar models, like Cal Newport’s deep work equation (high-quality work = time × intensity of focus) and Brian Johnson’s genius work equation (adding energy into the mix). These show that time is just one small aspect. Classical time management tools will be mentioned briefly and linked for those interested, but the focus here is on deeper principles and context.
1:10–2:03
Imagine learning how to use a screwdriver but not understanding its purpose. You might misuse it in the kitchen, causing more harm than good. Similarly, it’s important to know the context of time management tools—when and how to use them effectively. Beyond time and focus, this discussion will highlight the importance of soul force and life force management.
2:03–3:02
This masterclass is relevant to everyone, not just entrepreneurs or freelancers. While these groups manage their own schedules, the deeper principles of soul force and life force apply universally. For example, we’ll discuss the motivation equation later, but true inspiration—true life force—doesn’t require motivation. Life and children don’t procrastinate; they naturally express energy moment by moment.
3:02–4:15
Procrastination arises when something has gone wrong earlier. This isn’t about fixing everything but raising awareness and subtly adapting. Instead of focusing on accountability and procrastination, we’ll explore how to increase the ratio of tasks you naturally want to do, minimizing the need for external motivation.
4:15–5:15
Some tasks will still need to be done, whether “monkey work” or “genius work.” However, we’ll start with the bigger picture and the contexts in which time management operates.
5:15–6:00
Here’s a quick overview of the five main ideas:
The Big Why: This focuses on soul force management—expressing life force in ways that truly matter, like family or meaningful work.
Flow Times Three: This includes small flow (focused work sessions), big flow (transitioning in and out of flow), and meta flow (being in flow with life itself).
Mottos and Principles: We’ll cover deeper principles and highlight a few powerful ones in detail, including the motivation equation.
MVPs (Most Valuable Practices): Practical tools and techniques for time and life management.
What’s the Price?: Reflecting on the cost of focusing solely on tasks versus creating the space for flow.
6:00–7:05
Flow times three deserves special attention:
Small Flow: The most efficient way to work—an hour of flow is more valuable than five hours without it.
Big Flow: Managing the transitions into and out of flow to maintain overall energy and effectiveness.
Meta Flow: Living in flow with life itself.
7:05–8:00
Idea three introduces mottos and principles, offering an overview and diving into a few key concepts. These principles act as gifts when their truth is fully accessed. Idea four then explores concrete practices—tools that intersect life and time management.
8:00–9:15
The fifth idea, “What’s the Price,” asks what we sacrifice by focusing only on tasks instead of creating conditions for flow. For example, investing time to set up a flow-friendly environment can yield greater returns than constant task-focused effort.
9:15–10:15
This recording feels special—it’s part of a cacao ceremony. Overwhelmed by energy earlier, I calmed myself with cacao before recording. Efficiency also means grounding oneself to avoid paying a high price later.
10:15–11:15
I’ve paused to refocus and will now dive into the first idea: The Big Why. Time management is ultimately about managing soul and life force—expressing what truly matters. See you soon! Bye.
(1) big WHY = Soul Force
0:01–0:23
Idea number one: The Big Why equals soul force. Why do you care about time management? If you ask yourself this question repeatedly and deeply, you’ll likely realize a few key things. One is that some things matter more to you than others. For example, time with your family might outweigh time online, or creative work might take precedence over “monkey work.”
0:23–1:15
On a deeper level, you’ll sense that you want to be more efficient with less important tasks to have more time for what truly matters. You’ll also realize that you only have so much time—24 hours in a day—and there will always be more things to do than you have time for. This makes prioritization essential. Time management becomes about aligning your priorities with what feels right and meaningful to you.
1:15–2:00
Some might call this pursuit happiness, but I’d describe it as a deeper joy or life force—a sense of aliveness, purpose, and meaning. Many of us have been conditioned away from this feeling, but we’ve all experienced moments of it, often in childhood. Time management and efficiency help us move closer to that state, even incrementally.
2:00–3:15
Efficiency, often defined as output per input, is misunderstood when reduced to measurable results alone. True efficiency considers our happiness, inner peace, and abiding joy. In this masterclass, we’ll explore efficiency in the context of life force and soul force. Sometimes, what seems inefficient is actually the most efficient for our well-being.
3:15–4:20
Attention management is just as important as time management, if not more. Here’s an example: I stopped reading “good” books to focus on “very good” books that truly matter to me. This prioritization reflects time management aligned with soul force. You can keep asking deeper questions about what truly matters to you, refining your focus over time.
4:20–5:30
Without connecting time management to life force, we risk misusing tools like efficiency, applying them to tasks that don’t truly matter. This leads to long-term unhappiness and restlessness. True alignment ensures that our efforts work for us both in the moment and the bigger picture.
5:30–6:15
The Big Why is essential because without it, everything else loses meaning. Take a moment to reflect on your life: What activities bring out your life force and soul force? This isn’t about fixing or changing things but observing them honestly and giving them the attention they deserve.
6:15–7:00
Your life force and soul force are literally your life. At the end of your life, you won’t regret expressing too much of it—you’ll regret not letting life flow through you. Take the time to reflect, without judgment or evaluation, and trust that clarity and solutions will follow naturally.
7:00–7:30
This was idea number one: The Big Why equals soul force. I’ll now return to my cacao before recording idea number two. See you soon!
(2) Flow x3
0:02–0:38
Idea number two: Flow times three—small, big, and meta. Let's talk about flow. Flow is what makes time management almost irrelevant or, rather, the most important part of it. In a true flow state, time loses its usual meaning. You may feel like five hours have passed when it's only been 20 minutes, or the other way around. Flow drastically increases efficiency and productivity, making it worth investing time in creating flow states rather than focusing solely on traditional time management strategies.
0:38–1:35
There’s a distinction between creative, genius work and shallow, repetitive tasks—like cutting vegetables in cooking. Flow has a massive impact on creative work. One or two hours in a flow state can produce more and higher-quality output than 8 to 10 hours without flow. Similarly, one or two days in flow can lead to better results than a whole month of non-flow work. The key time management question should be: "How do I get into flow states more often?"
1:35–2:35
I don't fully understand why people focus so much on improving their efficiency with tasks rather than on creating the conditions for flow, where tasks happen naturally and at a higher quality. If you achieve flow, the rest—like shallow tasks or “monkey work”—will fall into place. Prioritizing flow is crucial.
2:35–4:15
Reflecting on how to create flow states is worth the time. You can’t force flow; forcing is the opposite of flow. However, you can create conditions that increase the likelihood of flow. For example, this morning’s masterclass idea came to me spontaneously. I didn’t actively work on it the night before, yet my broader lifestyle choices, like going to bed early and waking up before dawn, set the stage for this inspiration. In those quiet morning hours, when everything is still, I feel deeply connected to myself and the universe. It’s no coincidence that flow happens during these moments.
4:15–5:38
Let’s now look at the three types of flow: small flow, big flow, and meta flow. Each could be a masterclass in itself, but for now, consider this a brief overview.
5:38–7:10
Small Flow
Flow exists at the intersection of challenge and skill. Picture a graph with challenge on one axis and skill on the other. If a task is too difficult, it becomes overwhelming. If it’s too easy, it’s boring. True flow happens when your skill level matches the task's difficulty. Additionally, flow requires full presence and attention—what Eckhart Tolle calls "the power of now."
7:10–8:16
If you're not in flow, ask yourself:
Is the task too challenging?
Is it too easy?
Adjust the difficulty to create the right balance and engage your full attention.
8:16–10:15
Reflect on past flow experiences:
What were the qualities of those moments?
What happened before and during those flow states?
Take time to write down your thoughts. Reflection helps anchor insights deeply, making your learning more efficient. If you skip reflection and just consume content, you'll need to revisit it repeatedly. Taking time to reflect might feel like a delay, but it’s actually more efficient in the long run.
10:15–13:00
Here’s my perspective on flow:
Emotional State: Do I feel connected to myself? Unfelt emotions like sadness or anger can block flow. I often experience flow after processing emotions like sadness or frustration.
Physical Energy: A good night's sleep is essential for flow. Sleep, especially REM sleep, helps our subconscious process thoughts and emotions, preparing us for flow the next day. Many inventions have come to people in dreams or during naps.
Mindset and Priming: Preparing your mind for flow is also key. For example, before starting a project, I might journal about it or leave reminders for myself. Priming my subconscious helps me enter flow more easily. Conversely, distractions like YouTube can interfere with this process. The less general input I consume, the more likely I am to achieve flow.
13:00–15:15
Even within work sessions, you can prime yourself for flow. At the end of a session, I prepare for the next one by organizing my workspace and opening the files I’ll need. This preparation helps my mind process the task during breaks, increasing the likelihood of flow when I return to work.
15:15–18:19
Big Flow
Small flow sessions exist within a bigger context—your daily, weekly, or monthly rhythms. Sometimes, small flow sessions come at a cost. For example, if you get into flow late at night and skip sleep, you may struggle to achieve flow the next day. Recognizing this cost is crucial. I sometimes cut a flow session short to preserve my energy for future sessions. Big flow involves transitioning in and out of flow gracefully, maintaining balance across your entire rhythm.
18:19–22:34
Meta Flow
Meta flow is being in flow with life itself. It involves aligning with life’s rhythms, even during challenging periods like processing childhood trauma or facing difficult emotions. Meta flow means accepting all aspects of life as part of a larger flow. If you can align with life’s flow, you’ll naturally experience more moments of small and big flow.
22:34–23:04
In this broader context, ask yourself:
Where am I numbing myself?
Where am I blocking flow?
Understanding meta flow is more important than mastering small or big flow, as it directly connects to your life force and soul force.
23:04–23:59
This was idea number two: Flow times three. We covered small flow, the flow equation (skill vs. challenge), the importance of emotional, physical, and mental states for flow, and the concepts of big flow and meta flow. I’m going to take a break, drink my cacao, and prepare for the next idea. See you soon!
(3) Mottos & Principles
0:01–0:40
Idea number three: Mottos and Principles. We are now at the intersection of time management, attention management, and soul force management. I’ve selected five mottos and principles to cover briefly. There are many more, and I’ll provide additional lists for deeper exploration. Use your inner voice to filter what resonates with you. There are countless valuable mottos and principles, but you can’t integrate all of them at once—it’s inefficient and doesn’t work on a deeper level.
0:40–2:00
One of my favorite quotes is, “All models are wrong, but some are helpful.” No model or principle represents the full truth, but each carries some truth. Pay attention to where you feel resonance—either through enthusiasm (a spark of excitement) or resistance (a negative reaction). Both forms of resonance indicate areas worth exploring. Let’s dive into the five mottos.
Overview of the Five Mottos
2:00–2:30
"There’s nothing less efficient than being efficient with the wrong goal."
"First things first, second things not at all" (Stephen Covey).
"The most important things are the things you don’t do."
"Match the energy to the task."
The "Motivation Equation" (also called the Procrastination Equation).
Motto 1: There’s Nothing Less Efficient Than Being Efficient with the Wrong Goal
2:30–4:15
It’s important to reflect on whether the task at hand is worth doing in the first place. You could be highly efficient and climb a mountain only to realize you climbed the wrong one. If your goals aren’t aligned with your true self, better time management will actually make your life worse. Efficiency without alignment leads to unhappiness and restlessness.
Motto 2: First Things First, Second Things Not at All
4:15–7:10
This Stephen Covey quote highlights the importance of prioritizing what matters most. However, this principle must be applied intuitively, not cognitively. The key is asking yourself moment by moment: "What’s important now?" Byron Katie says there’s always only one thing the universe asks of you in each moment.
Sometimes, what’s important might be something mundane like washing dishes. It’s about trusting your inner wisdom to guide you. For example, taking a pause to clean dishes can lead to creative sparks that move a project forward more than hours of non-stop work would.
Motto 3: The Most Important Things Are the Things You Don’t Do
7:10–9:00
Efficiency is also about what you choose not to do. For instance, I stopped reading “good” books to make time for reading “great” books. Not doing certain things creates space for better things to emerge. This requires courage—to say no to conditioned tasks and trust that more aligned opportunities will fill the empty space.
Motto 4: Match the Energy to the Task
9:00–11:00
Imagine having $200 and $1, and you need to buy an apple and a bicycle. If you use the $200 to buy the apple, you won’t have enough left to buy the bicycle. The same applies to attention management—if you spend your peak energy on low-value tasks (like checking emails first thing in the morning), you’ll have less energy for creative work later.
Pay attention to when your energy levels are highest and match tasks accordingly. For instance, mornings are better for deep work, while afternoons might be better for answering emails. Misaligning energy and tasks leads to inefficiency.
Motto 5: The Motivation Equation
11:00–16:00
This formula explains motivation as:
M = V × E / (I × D)
V = Value of the task
E = Expectancy (your belief that you can succeed)
I = Impulsivity (distractions and scattered attention)
D = Delay (time until the task’s outcome)
To increase motivation:
Increase Value: Reconnect to why the task matters. If taxes feel like a burden, remind yourself that completing them allows you to continue offering your services.
Increase Expectancy: Boost your belief in success by improving your skills or finding role models who’ve achieved similar goals.
Reduce Impulsivity: Minimize distractions, like keeping your phone away while working.
Reduce Delay: Break tasks into smaller, time-bound goals to make deadlines feel closer.
Procrastination often occurs when one of these components is off. Checking the motivation equation can reveal why you’re stuck and what to adjust.
Summary of the Five Mottos
16:00–19:00
There’s Nothing Less Efficient Than Being Efficient with the Wrong Goal: Reflect before acting to ensure your tasks align with your true self.
First Things First, Second Things Not at All: Prioritize intuitively, moment by moment.
The Most Important Things Are the Things You Don’t Do: Create space for greater opportunities by saying no to less important tasks.
Match the Energy to the Task: Use your peak energy for high-value tasks and lower energy for shallow work.
The Motivation Equation: Understand and optimize the factors that influence your motivation to stop procrastinating.
19:00–23:59
There are many more mottos and principles we could explore. I encourage you to listen to your inner voice as you go through them. Pay attention to what resonates with you—whether enthusiasm or resistance—and trust that following those sparks will lead to the most efficient and aligned path.
That was idea number three. See you in idea number four.
(4) My MVP Tools & Tricks
0:01–1:30
Idea number four: My favorite tools and tricks – best practices.
Since time is getting a bit tight, I will share only my top three tools and tricks for time, attention, and soul force management. There’s a longer list with around 100 tools that I’ll link under this video for deeper exploration. But these three are my main practices for staying aligned and efficient.
Tool 1: The Minute of Silence (Pausing)
One of my best time management tools is taking a minute of silence. This practice represents the broader category of pausing, stepping back, and slowing down.
When I notice myself speeding up—whether mentally or physically—I slow everything down. Flow isn’t fast or slow; it’s both. Often, when we speed up, our minds race, and we lose clarity. We can no longer distinguish between important tasks and distractions, or make aligned decisions.
Taking a minute of silence allows my higher self to enter, bringing clarity and alignment. I pause at the start of conversations, throughout my day, or whenever I notice myself rushing. Sometimes, it’s a 10-second pause; other times, it’s five minutes.
Without these pauses, I risk heading in the wrong direction, realizing too late that I’ve made a mistake. Pausing creates space for clarity to emerge, allowing me to course-correct after three steps rather than three kilometers.
Tool 2: The Pre-Screen Memo
The pre-screen memo is my second favorite tool. Before I use a screen (computer, phone, etc.), I record a quick voice memo stating my intention.
Why is this important? Because screens are one of the biggest distractions in my life. Most inefficiencies and obstacles I face are connected to screens—whether it’s YouTube, emails, or WhatsApp.
By recording a pre-screen memo, I bring awareness to the moment. It takes just 20 to 30 seconds to state my intention:
Why am I going on the screen?
What is my goal?
What are the risks of getting distracted?
This simple practice reduces unnecessary screen time by at least 10%, and the return on investment is huge. It prevents me from going off track and wasting time on things I don’t want to do.
The voice recorder itself has been a massive game-changer for me in terms of time management. It allows me to gain clarity on the go and stay aligned with my goals. The pre-screen memo is a specific use of the recorder that has had a significant impact.
Tool 3: Journaling
Journaling is a huge part of my life and one of my best time management practices. It’s a way of stepping out, reflecting, and creating space for clarity to emerge.
Journaling allows me to:
Process emotions like resistance, fear, or anxiety.
Capture creative ideas and sparks of inspiration.
Clarify priorities and tasks.
It’s like having a conversation with yourself. Just as you get to know another person by talking to them, you get to know yourself by journaling. It’s about listening to your inner voice without judgment or evaluation.
Journaling helps me address anxieties or urgent tasks. For example, if I feel anxious about a task, I write it down. This calms my mind because I know it’s on my list, and I can schedule it for later.
There’s an Abraham Lincoln quote: “If I had five hours to chop down a tree, I’d spend the first four sharpening the axe.” Journaling is sharpening the axe. Taking time to journal before a deep work session is incredibly effective. Even spending 5–10% of your work session journaling can lead to huge returns in clarity and productivity.
Tools in Practice
I journal with pen and paper, but I also use my voice recorder. Many friends who’ve started using a voice recorder have continued because they find it so beneficial.
I always carry index cards for notes and reflections, along with my voice recorder. At home, I use larger sheets and whiteboards for brainstorming and planning. I make journaling as easy as possible, no matter where I am.
Key Takeaways
The three tools—pausing, pre-screen memos, and journaling—help me avoid doing things that aren’t aligned with my true purpose. The minute of silence creates space for clarity. Journaling deepens self-awareness. Pre-screen memos prevent distractions and keep me on track.
If I avoid doing the wrong things, I naturally gravitate toward what I’m called to do. Life will guide me toward the right actions.
Additional Tools
There are many more tools I use, such as:
Weekly planning for flexibility.
Using backlogs and index cards.
The FocusMe app for blocking distractions.
Creating fun challenges to get into flow.
Transparency with myself and others.
I could list tools forever, but I’ll link a more comprehensive list under this video for you to explore.
Final Words
These were my top three tools for time and attention management. They help align my soul force and life force, ensuring I stay on the right path.
This section ends at 12 minutes and 12 seconds—a nice round number! I’ll take a break now and see you in idea number five.
(5) What’s the Price I’m willing to pay
Idea Number Five: What's the Price? What Price Am I Willing to Pay?
0:00–0:25
This is going to be the shortest idea—and the most fun one. It’s also the one worth pausing for. If a question resonates with you, stop the video, take time to journal, and reflect on it. This might be the most efficient use of your time, because when inspiration comes through, that’s the moment to capture it.
The Core Question: What’s the Price?
0:25–1:30
Ask yourself: What’s the price I’m willing to pay?
To answer that, you need to understand the price you’re currently paying. This isn’t something you can measure with numbers; it’s a deeper clarity that goes beyond words.
Here are some questions to reflect on:
What’s the price of not reflecting on your life and soul force?
The cost of reflection might be 10–15 minutes a day. But what’s the cost of not doing it over the course of days, years, or even a lifetime?What’s the price of jumping to conclusions too quickly and applying tools without looking at the big picture?
Taking 20 extra minutes to reflect on the bigger context has a clear time cost. But what’s the cost of not doing it?
Examples of Hidden Costs
1:30–3:00
What’s the price of investing your time and attention into things that don’t matter?
What’s the price of not asking yourself what truly matters?
What’s the price of focusing solely on tasks instead of creating the flow space where things naturally happen?
Yes, creating a flow space takes time. But what’s the cost of not doing so?
What’s the price of not taking a minute of silence?
A minute of silence costs one minute. But the cost of not taking that pause can’t be quantified.
The Importance of Awareness
3:00–4:10
What’s the price of not reflecting on these questions?
Writing down quick answers or passively listening is one thing. But what’s the cost of not truly reflecting? Could the hidden cost be much higher than we realize?
This process isn’t about forcing change or fixing things. It’s about having the awareness to see things as they are. Awareness alone can heal.
The Power of Awareness
4:10–5:15
If you notice yourself skipping reflection or rushing toward quick solutions, don’t force yourself to stop. Just become aware of the price you’re paying for that choice.
With awareness, change happens naturally. You’ll start journaling when it feels right. You’ll take a minute of silence when it’s needed. You’ll make time to reflect—not because you’re forcing it, but because it’s in alignment with you.
All it takes is the courage to look at the price you’re paying. Without that courage, those costs stay unconscious and continue to influence you from the shadows.
Final Reflection: What's the Price of Time Management?
5:15–6:10
Every masterclass ends with the question: What’s the price?
It’s the doorway to awareness. By understanding what price you’re paying, you can make aligned choices without forcing change.
Ask yourself:
Is it worth spending so much time optimizing time management?
Or would your life and soul force benefit more from a different focus?
Reflect on it and see what comes up.
6:10–End
That was idea number five: What’s the Price?
Take time to reflect, and we’ll see where this leads.
(9) Outro
Masterclass Recap: Time Management, Soul Force Management, and Focusing on What Truly Matters
0:01–1:15
Let’s recap our masterclass on time management, soul force management, and focusing on what truly matters, moment to moment.
This was a fun session with my cacao, which helped center me, though the grounding effect didn’t last long because I kept getting into states of inspiration and enthusiasm.
Let’s quickly review the five ideas we covered before concluding.
Idea 1: The Big Why = Soul Force
The first idea was The Big Why, which equals soul force.
We explored why time management matters. If you ask this question deeply enough, you’ll realize two things:
You only have limited time.
Some things are more important to you than others.
This realization leads to prioritization.
True time management isn’t about measurable outputs—it’s about optimizing your life force and soul force. That’s what truly matters.
Without this connection to your Big Why, none of the other tools or techniques will improve your life. In fact, they might even cause harm if you lose this connection.
Idea 1 and Idea 5 are the most important concepts because everything in between—Ideas 2 to 4—lives in the space between those two. Without the connection to your Big Why, none of the other ideas will improve your life.
Idea 2: Flow Times Three – Small Flow, Big Flow, Meta Flow
The second idea was Flow Times Three:
Small Flow – Flow during focused work sessions, when skill meets challenge, and you give your full attention.
Big Flow – The rhythm of your day, week, or month, transitioning in and out of flow states consciously to avoid burnout.
Meta Flow – Life’s flow, the overall alignment with life itself.
I shared practices for creating flow states, including:
Emotional preparation – Releasing “negative” emotions to access a flow state afterward.
Spiritual and mental preparation – Priming yourself by preparing work sessions in advance.
We also discussed the interaction between small flow and big flow. Sometimes, achieving a small flow state comes at the cost of big flow—for example, working late into the night and paying the price the next day.
Meta flow is the ultimate goal: being in flow with life itself. Even phases of non-flow are part of life’s overall flow.
Idea 3: Mottos and Principles
The third idea was Mottos and Principles.
We covered five key mottos, knowing there are many more:
“There’s nothing less efficient than being efficient with the wrong goal.”
It’s like climbing a mountain quickly, only to realize you climbed the wrong mountain. Prioritize what truly matters first.
“First things first, second things not at all.”
This is about moment-to-moment prioritization. Trust your intuition to decide what’s most important now.
“The most important thing is what you don’t do.”
Focus on eliminating distractions and tasks that aren’t aligned with your soul force.
“Match the energy to the task.”
Attention is like a currency you can’t get back. Don’t spend your $200 of attention on a $1 task. Save your best energy for your most important work.
The Motivation Equation:
Motivation = (Value × Expectancy) ÷ (Impulsivity × Delay).
This equation helps explain procrastination and how to overcome it.
Stopping procrastination is one of the most important ways to improve time management. You can either choose tasks that naturally inspire you or apply the motivation equation to increase your drive for necessary but uninspiring tasks.
Idea 4: Tools and Tricks – My Best Practices
We covered three main tools:
The Minute of Silence – Pausing to create space for clarity and intuition to emerge.
The Pre-Screen Memo – Recording a voice memo before using a screen to stay aligned with your intention and avoid distractions.
Journaling – Getting into conversation with your higher self to gain clarity and process emotions.
All three tools help prevent inefficiency by stopping you from doing what you’re not supposed to be doing.
I also mentioned additional tools like weekly planning, using index cards, and the FocusMe app to block distractions.
Idea 5: What’s the Price?
The final idea was “What’s the Price?”
Ask yourself:
What’s the price of not reflecting on your life and soul force?
What’s the price of jumping to solutions too quickly?
What’s the price of focusing on tasks instead of creating the flow space in which things naturally happen?
The price of investing time in reflection is clear—it takes time. But the cost of not doing it is much harder to quantify and often much higher than we realize.
This is about awareness. You don’t need to force change. Just bring awareness to the choices you’re making and the prices you’re paying. Awareness alone can create change.
Final Reflections on Time Management
This was a unique approach to time management. There are plenty of traditional time management tools and courses out there. You don’t need more of those.
What’s rare is this bigger-picture context—the soul force perspective on time management.
When you start with the Big Why, you’ll naturally apply time management tools in a healthier, more aligned way. You won’t misuse tools like a screwdriver in the kitchen; you’ll know how to use them effectively in your life.
A Final Word on Intuition
All the models, mottos, and tools we discussed are helpful, but none of them provide definitive answers.
This work goes beyond the mind and rules.
All models are wrong, but some are helpful.
You can’t figure everything out cognitively. You need to trust your deeper clarity—your intuition.
Your intuition will guide you in applying these ideas moment to moment. It will tell you when to take a minute of silence, when to journal, and what tools to focus on.
Ultimately, the best time management practice is learning to trust your intuition.
This inner voice is always there, speaking to you. It’s the language of life itself.
Learn to listen to it, and you’ll naturally make aligned choices.
Conclusion
Time management is never really about managing time. It’s about managing your life force and soul force.
Focus on what truly matters, moment to moment to moment.
And that was our masterclass—accompanied by cacao.
