Why I work only ~3 hours per day

“Tim, have you seriously been sitting here for 2 hours?” asked my brother as he walked into the living room. “Careful not to stare a hole in the wall.”

I lift my gaze.

“I’m contemplating important matters, David. You wouldn’t understand.”

“Pfft. Yeah right.” 

Okay, I will admit … my current workday looks a bit … umm … how shall we call it? 

Atypical.

In total, I “work” about 3 hours per day.

• I write my daily email

• Handle client work

• Manage my Twitter profile

And I’m done.

This is NOT what I usually do. Normally, I work a lot more. 

But lately…

I’ve been taking it slow.

Most of the day, I’m in the living room with a journal on my lap … thinking.

Between you and me…

I don’t have any desire to work hard at the moment.

Because working hard is like pressing the accelerator. It’s fantastic if you’re on track. But if you veer off even a little bit … you might speed down a cliff.

Instead, I’ve been analyzing my mental patterns.

And honestly … the progress I made mentally is insane.

Like many other people, I used to have an unforgiving inner critic. 

A voice that would berate me into working harder, doing more, staying busy – anything to avoid the existential dread of stopping long enough to face myself.

And when I looked deeper, I realized…

I  wasn’t building this business for myself … I was building for that inner “slavemaster.” I felt obligated to prove something.

But now?

That voice is gone.

Left is a sense of clarity.

And that clarity has led me to a decision:

I want to help others find alignment too.

I recently invested multiple thousands in my education. My skillset has leveled up. And now, I want to pass that knowledge on.

That’s why I re-launched my coaching program.

This is where I help copywriters and ghostwriters scale their brands to $3,000/mo in 90 days – without slaving away for more than 5 hours per day.

This week, I’m opening a few early-bird spots.

Want in?

Reply with “early” and I’ll send you the details.

Either way … ask yourself one uncomfortable question:

Why are you building your business? 

For you? For your loved ones? … Or are you doing it to impress others or prove something?

Because if you’re building from a place of fear, you will never feel free – no matter how much you make.

Talk soon,

Tim <3
