Had a fascinating convo with a colleague this afternoon about time management. Subconsciously, I have done a bit of an audit of my time in an effort to maximize every waking hour. People ask how I have done so much in my career. Here's how... #JoesLifeLessons

There are 24 hours a day. 8 hours sleeping & 8 hours working. That leaves 8 hours of _____. That's why it was easy for me to say yes to hosting @WHLHitmen & @calstampeders games or helping start up @ABDugoutStories. #JoesLifeLessons

These audits are always ongoing. Family & friends will always come first. When I started my relationship with Erin, I knew I would have to recalibrate. Same when we bought a house, got married & I will do it again if/when we have kids. #JoesLifeLessons

I have a lot of empathy for people who are hustling & doing everything to provide for their families. I will also always question those who claim there aren't enough hours in the day for a #SideHustle. Have you done a time audit? #JoesLifeLessons

Maybe there is an hour a day where you can sell some stuff sitting in boxes in your basement on Marketplace or eBay. Maybe there is an hour a day to cut grass for a neighbour willing to pay. The opportunities are there for those looking for $$$. #JoesLifeLessons

But again, it all depends on the lifestyle you wanna live. If you have big aspirations, you gotta work for it. If you are content, then cheers! Time is the asset. Happiness is the legacy (like that, @FaisalKarmali?) #JoesLifeLessons
