Robby: You're listening to the brand ed bullet from the brand ed podcast.
Four freaky fast Friday wins to get you going for your weekend.
Let's go!
Normally, we start this digest off with something to try, but this digest
we're going in the reverse order.
Win number one, something personal.
Hurry it's everywhere.
Hurry is a silent killer of joy, being present, and making memories.
For example, these digest I tried to keep short because like me,
you are probably in a hurry.
That's because running a personal brand business and hurry are great friends.
They're best buds.
Business and busy-ness riding side by side.
I'm trying to awaken myself to this more, to move from befriending hurry to frenemy.
And then hopefully on to enemy.
I'm officially going on record that I hate hurry.
Will you join me?
When number two, something to think about.
Hurry is a form of violence on the soul.
And right now everything is being intentionally designed
for distraction and addiction, because that's where the money is.
That's a quote from John Mark Comer in his book, The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry.
So here's the challenge for you.
Will you set aside two minutes today?
Not tomorrow.
Today.
Turn everything off.
And just take stock of your hurry.
I would love for you to DM me and let me know how that went.
When number three, something had client recently asked.
I was meeting with the leadership team in a business strategy
sprint recently, and they were sharing how distracted they were.
Read hurried.
So I asked each one of the four to answer these questions.
To grow your business, what three things do you need to do
every day that only you can do?
And then I asked each of them, what do you need to eliminate off of
your plate so that they can focus on the three things they need to do.
How do you stay focused on your most important tasks?
When number four, something to try.
Say it with me now, death to hurry.
Here are some ways to put, hurry to death, try one or more of these.
Read the elimination of hurry by John mark comer.
Go to bed 30 minutes earlier, wake up 30 minutes earlier and spend that
30 minutes unhurried and unplugged.
Set a time to take a short walk with a friend or by yourself with
no headphones on, just listen to the birds and the sounds of the wind.
Connect with someone who lives an unhurried life.
Someone from the past, that could be an author, a poet, or an artist.
Almost anyone prior to the 20th century lived a far less hurried life.
Spend a few minutes each day, hanging out with them.
It's a great way to unplug.
No, there are no quick fixes to detangle from hurry.
So don't be in a hurry to get rid of hurry.
Just begin to adjust your rhythms.
Tell a friend that you're trying to do this and enjoy the slow river drift
towards a less hurried life and business.
