• 0:27
  Hey, good morning everybody from the garage because I am setting
• 0:33
  up my plans for planting. And this is an interesting time
• 0:41
  because I get to go and I get to pick the seeds and I get to sit
• 0:44
  down and I get to map it all out.
• 0:46
  And it's all very exciting for me.
• 0:47
  And I get to come in and check my lights, which is what I was
• 0:49
  doing this morning because I've got grow lights.
• 0:52
  Planning out how many weeks until I have seedlings and all
• 0:54
  that good stuff. But that's not really what the
• 0:57
  purpose of this conversation is. Today.
• 0:59
  I'm in here because I was setting it all up.
• 1:01
  It's very, very early. Like very early.
• 1:03
  And I stopped and paused and I said, you know what's
• 1:08
  interesting? Last year I didn't get the time
• 1:11
  to grow, set up to grow winter vegetables.
• 1:14
  And I was going through my brain sorting out like, 'cause I
• 1:19
  technically I could grow year round here if I had the right
• 1:23
  plan for it. And immediately my head went to
• 1:27
  the space of going, I didn't get the time to do that.
• 1:30
  I didn't get the time to do this.
• 1:31
  I should have planted. I could have done this if I had
• 1:33
  just planned this. My brain was going off on.
• 1:36
  I could have grown broccoli, Rob.
• 1:38
  I could have grown all crucifix vegetables.
• 1:41
  I could have done a lot of different things, but I didn't
• 1:44
  do it and I kept saying in my head I didn't have the time.
• 1:48
  And immediately I pulled out my phone because sometimes when I
• 1:52
  have these thoughts and it's not always the most appropriate
• 1:56
  time. Hence this morning to actually
• 1:59
  shoot with the chickens. But it's a really good thought
• 2:02
  because it's happening to me live time.
• 2:04
  So I kept saying I didn't get the time.
• 2:06
  Now there are 168 hours in a week, OK, 168 hours in a week.
• 2:14
  And to set up those seedlings and plan that out, that was
• 2:19
  probably about 2 1/2 hours to three hours of work to make the
• 2:23
  plans, to set the pots, to get the seeds.
• 2:25
  I'm talking every part of it, ordering it, putting it
• 2:28
  together, then maybe 3 hours of a week.
• 2:31
  And that wouldn't even even have to be in the same week because I
• 2:34
  would have to order seeds, get them shipped in.
• 2:37
  I'm talking cumulative hours put together.
• 2:40
  So three hours out of 168 over and that's if I did it all in a
• 2:46
  week. Now the point of this is to kick
• 2:50
  myself in the butt and say why am I saying I didn't have the
• 2:54
  time? Because we all have the same 168
• 2:59
  hours in a week. And granted, I am very, very
• 3:03
  productive in my weeks and I know that I I do as much as a
• 3:08
  human can on some weeks. Like with sleeping, with adding
• 3:12
  in sleep and a reasonable amount of sleep.
• 3:14
  Because I love to go and get go to bed early and get a good
• 3:19
  solid six to seven hours of sleep.
• 3:21
  That's what my sweet spot is. 8 hours too long for me.
• 3:25
  But that 7 hour mark, that's it. Now when you take that out of
• 3:30
  it, you sit there and say to yourself, OK, all those other
• 3:33
  hours are available. All those other hours are
• 3:35
  available. And yes, we have chores and yes,
• 3:38
  we have jobs and we have things to do, but they are our hours
• 3:42
  and we get to do what we want with them and we choose with
• 3:46
  them. So really the question had to
• 3:50
  come back to me and say, OK, well, it's not that you didn't
• 3:55
  get to do it, it's that you didn't choose to do it.
• 3:58
  And it was your 168 hours and you didn't choose it.
• 4:02
  And as soon as I said that to myself, I was like, OK, I really
• 4:06
  need to come back to this. One, with my own coach and two,
• 4:09
  with the fact that I have without doubt the time to make
• 4:15
  it work if I chose to put it on the radar and do it.
• 4:18
  But it was it important enough to me?
• 4:20
  Did I bring it back to saying was it important enough to me?
• 4:23
  Was this important enough for me to say I'm going to rearrange my
• 4:27
  schedule, I'm going to do this. This is what's going to happen
• 4:30
  and I'm making it happen because I choose it.
• 4:33
  And the truth was no. It's for some reason it just
• 4:37
  wasn't. Is it something I wanted to do?
• 4:39
  Yes. Is it something I did do?
• 4:41
  No. And I have to look back as I
• 4:45
  start to go into the planning phase for next year as to what
• 4:47
  happened. What was the reason I didn't do
• 4:50
  it? What was the reason?
• 4:52
  Was it the fact that the IT was so hot at the end of the year
• 4:55
  that it just took me out of gardening?
• 4:58
  Maybe I have to go back and read what I wrote in my journal in my
• 5:01
  notes. Maybe I need to start keeping a
• 5:04
  more thorough journal. Maybe I need to just start doing
• 5:06
  a complete gardening journal. So I know maybe there are those
• 5:10
  parts of it. But the truth is, and the point
• 5:13
  of this whole podcast today is to sit there and say we all have
• 5:17
  the same 168 hours. What are you going to do with
• 5:20
  yours 'cause I know I'm going to really explore mine now that I
• 5:23
  had that thought and I'm not going to say to myself without
• 5:27
  at least exploring it, you know, I didn't have the time.
• 5:31
  That is not the way to answer the question.
• 5:35
  I didn't choose to make the time.
• 5:37
  I didn't see I needed to put that time in.
• 5:40
  There are other ways to phrase it, but it's not that I didn't
• 5:43
  have the time. All right, my friends, I hope
• 5:46
  you have a blessed day and I will see you all tomorrow.
• 5:49
  Bye.
