The question of the hour is asked:
“I got a quick question, how do you have time to do this volume of reading, especially times when you have to read a book 10 times, considering the volume of writing you do yearly, the number of businesses you run, spending time with family and being a great dad to Willis? What’s your principle to reading fast and not losing vital information?”
The short answer is:
I’m not a “fast” reader at all, just consistent.
The longer answer is:
I also am in a constant state of not just “urgency” but emergency.
If I have a time management & productivity “system” that is it.
The complacency people have right now is astounding to me.
The way the normies keep falling for one obvious scam after another (covid, so-called AI, bull shyt wars, etc) have made it so my business goals are totally bent around having enough money to escape the consequences of their idiotic voting patterns, celebrity worship, nanny-state dependence, media narrative shilling, corporate CEO (big pharma, AI, etc) simping, and the list goes on.
So my time is heavily invested in that mostly.
Business mornings (approx 4 hours) are split between my book/newsletter & Trading businesses.
Although I only spend about 10 minutes per week on the trading, barely a “blip” in my schedule. I am actually launching a course to Low Stress Trading students in a couple weeks about exactly how I do this, to exact stocks I trade, and some other stuff I won’t go into here.
Then the rest of my day?
Is spent prepping – spiritually, physically, and mentally.
I also walk a lot with my thoughts, talk a lot with Stefania, and play a lot with Willis.
This is why I don’t have time to haunt social media all day.
If I’m on there at all, it’s as a break and for entertainment purposes on Twitter, mostly, or to “pre-write” content by posting in my free Settleheads group. I also, at certain times during any given year, spend an hour each day for my own selfish purposes working on my next series of novels.
No money goals or grand scheme for the fiction.
I do it purely for love the of the game.
Whatever happens, happens.
