Time is Money. How many times have we heard that? Alternate: We all know this, right? Or at least we’ve heard it (time and time again). But what exactly does it mean? How are time and money similar? Actually, there are a ton of parallels. Give some examples. On top of the similarities, though, there’s… Continue reading Time is Money

How do we get from here to there? Step one is to start with a blank slate – we need to get to zero. But how do we do that? How do we get to zero? How do we get out of debt – both financial debt and time debt?

What have we learned from COVID? We can meet remotely. We can attend church remotely. We can take fitness classes remotely. We can work from home and avoid traffic. It is true that some experiences are better in person, no doubt. But just because we can’t be there in person doesn’t mean we have to… Continue reading Work from anywhere

A few years ago, my friend Vanessa said that her sister is not motivated by money and does not aspire to have a successful career. In her sister’s words, she doesn’t have income goals, she has lifestyle goals. Since then, a new term has emerged: the time millionaire. What is a time millionaire? Some resources:… Continue reading Time Millionaires

Ben Franklin was onto something: early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy and wealthy and wise. And aren’t those all things that we want? Healthy. The only way to accomplish everything you want in life is to be on this earth long enough to do it. So staying healthy is critically… Continue reading Early to Bed and Early to Rise

How would we like our world to look? It’s only a problem if we want something to change. We’re going to talk about the journey – how we get there. But we first need to talk about the destination – where are we going?

In this book, we spend a lot of time talking about the goal of being able to work anywhere, anytime. Not only do we want to be financially free, where we have enough coming in automatically to cover our bills each month, we also want to be physically free, not tied to a particular location,… Continue reading Anywhere, Anytime

Time management, first and foremost, is about time awareness. That’s one of the reasons I joined AARP on my 50th birthday – not because I really think I’m old but more to remind myself that I’m not as young as I used to be. Some people fight it and don’t join, but it doesn’t change… Continue reading Time Awareness

Prepare yourself. When you start spending your time differently, you will have your critics, people who thing you’re making a mistake, possibly even wasting your life. That’s probably because they don’t understand. And this lack of understanding is partly because of how thoroughly embedded work is in our culture. In fact, the way our society… Continue reading The language of time

When we “save time,” we don’t really save it. We can’t put it in a vault to use at some point in the future – we have to spend it right now. Otherwise it’s gone. Time is going to pass no matter what; all we can do is determine how we’ll spend each second, each… Continue reading About time

We all do. And it can seem overwhelming, especially when we don’t have a full grasp of everything that needs to be done. Or more than one thing needs to be done at the same time. Or there’s simply not enough time in the day to get everything done. So how do we capture all… Continue reading You have a lot to do

There are plenty of twelve-step programs out there. This isn’t one of them. It’s a six-step program. And here, briefly, are those steps. Step one: set some goals. You don’t have to know exactly where you want to be at this point—you can always revise the goals later on. But you need some sort of… Continue reading Step by Step

Your path will be different than mine. In fact, everyone’s path will be different because our starting and ending points aren’t the same. Point A—where you are now—and Point B—where you want to be—are specific to each individual, so our journeys will be different as well. But there will be some overlap, so I’m hoping… Continue reading About You

Everyone has a different perspective, and it’s that unique perspective that allows us to share ideas that others might find useful. Instead of reading a bunch of self-help books and pulling the best ideas from them, I’m deliberately not doing that. Most of this book, at least the initial draft, is based on my own… Continue reading A Little About Me

I wrote this book by accident. It started one morning, early in 2022, when I was jotting down some ideas about things I wanted to change over the next twelve months. It was a new year, and I had just turned 50 a couple weeks earlier, so this seemed like a good time to get… Continue reading About this Book
