• 0:28
  Hey, everybody. Good morning from the chicken
• 0:30
  coop. So today to follow up yesterday,
• 0:33
  we are talking today about net time.
• 0:36
  So yesterday we talked about time sucks, today we're talking
• 0:38
  about net time. So what is net time?
• 0:41
  So for me, this is time that you can do two things that don't
• 0:46
  overlap and cause you to stress multitasking.
• 0:50
  So there are certain things. I'm not a fan of multitasking
• 0:53
  because I believe that it takes your attention away from things.
• 0:56
  But there are things that are automatic for your hands and you
• 1:01
  don't have to think about them. And this is where net time comes
• 1:04
  in. So we all know it.
• 1:06
  When we're driving, we'll say, oh, I can listen to this while
• 1:08
  I'm driving because we get in the car and we're just going to
• 1:11
  get on the highway and we're just going to drive or we're
• 1:13
  going to go somewhere. We're just going to drive.
• 1:15
  And when we're driving we can listen to music, we can listen
• 1:17
  to podcast, thankfully from my perspective and or classes or
• 1:22
  whatever. So I am very big on listening to
• 1:25
  audibles. Love, love, love Audible.
• 1:28
  I think it's one of the best tools out there.
• 1:30
  I love summaries of books like Cliff Notes for adults.
• 1:33
  I use Headway and I don't get paid to promote them.
• 1:36
  But I'm telling you, Headway is a really great app to use and
• 1:41
  you can get a whole book done in 15 minutes and then if you
• 1:43
  really liked the book, you can go and get the book.
• 1:45
  And I sort by that all the time. So I know which one's really
• 1:47
  interested me and had some different concepts that I wanted
• 1:50
  to dive into. But this is, this is an
• 1:54
  interesting thing because people will say, well, I really want to
• 1:57
  learn. Like, I hear it a lot because I
• 1:59
  talk about gardening, farming, all that stuff in piece.
• 2:01
  I really want to learn to garden okay, but they never end up
• 2:06
  doing it. I don't have the time.
• 2:07
  So here's the thing. First of all, we don't find
• 2:10
  time. We make time.
• 2:12
  I don't find I I don't go out there and and and just find time
• 2:15
  sitting on the shelf to to create what I create.
• 2:19
  I actually choose to make it happen.
• 2:21
  I work my ass off to make it happen that way because I am
• 2:25
  efficient. It's just like I don't go into a
• 2:27
  studio to record this podcast. I do it in the morning while I'm
• 2:31
  taking care of the chickens and it's it's two things at once.
• 2:35
  And am I losing my attention and focus on taking care of the
• 2:38
  chickens for it? No, because it's two different
• 2:40
  skill sets and I'm talking to them anyway, which is how this
• 2:43
  whole thing started. Instead of giving my pep talks
• 2:45
  just to chickens to be safe for the day, I get to give them to
• 2:48
  you guys, which is wonderful. But in any of it, we don't find
• 2:51
  it. We make it.
• 2:52
  So while I'm I'm taking a class I I know I may have taught.
• 2:57
  I'm sure I talked about this about creating a flower garden,
• 3:01
  like actually a flower breeding business.
• 3:04
  But I'm not actually creating that.
• 3:06
  I'm just doing it because I want to expand my knowledge on
• 3:09
  flowers and these were the best people to go to florette flowers
• 3:12
  and I took a course and I'm loving it.
• 3:15
  But while I'm watching those videos, I am doing other things.
• 3:20
  I'm folding clothes. I've got the IT all set up on my
• 3:23
  iPad so I can walk around. The other day I was clipping all
• 3:26
  my plants and trimming them back in my studio.
• 3:30
  Had it on the whole time. Was able to sit there, listen,
• 3:34
  glance over, watch what she was talking about the whole entire
• 3:38
  time. And it is net time.
• 3:40
  It means I'm doing one thing but my brain.
• 3:42
  If I wasn't directing my brain while I was doing the plant
• 3:47
  clippings, my brain would have been all over the place thinking
• 3:49
  of unresourceful things. So that's why it's one of those
• 3:53
  things. It's use your net time, marry
• 3:55
  them together so that you can have the outcome that you're
• 3:58
  looking for. Super important to recognize.
• 4:01
  Make a list of where is your net time showing up.
• 4:05
  Someone said to me, well, I only have 10 minutes in the car.
• 4:08
  Well, perfect for you. If you use headway, you can get
• 4:11
  a book in on your way to the office.
• 4:13
  And she's like, really? I was like, yes.
• 4:16
  So you feel more productive, you feel more excited, and you're
• 4:19
  actually utilizing that net time in such a great way that it
• 4:23
  makes you feel like you're doing a better job for yourself in the
• 4:26
  process. So while it seems strange, while
• 4:29
  it seems like it's something that you're not used to thinking
• 4:32
  of this way, as soon as you start incorporating it, you'll
• 4:35
  be shocked at how much more you end up with.
• 4:38
  So if you're when I'm out doing chores here on and I'm not doing
• 4:43
  a podcast, I'll have my earbuds in and I will be listening to
• 4:47
  Audible. So while I'm raking, while I'm
• 4:50
  pulling weeds, while I'm planting, a lot of times I'll
• 4:54
  have it in my earbuds. But honestly, sometimes I just
• 4:57
  put it on speaker, put my phone down if I'm working in a section
• 5:00
  of the garden. And you'd be surprised how much
• 5:02
  the chickens like listening to it.
• 5:04
  They all come around, they're all hanging out listening to it.
• 5:08
  They particularly really like listening to Joseph Murphy,
• 5:10
  which I don't know if it's the reader or the words or the
• 5:12
  energy, but they really love it. So find your way to get that net
• 5:17
  time back. Think about the things that
• 5:20
  you're doing where you can cross pollinate it and say, OK, this
• 5:23
  is net time I can use learn something new.
• 5:26
  Fill yourself up. OK my friends, I hope you have a
• 5:28
  blessed day and I'll see you tomorrow.
• 5:30
  Bye.
