"Im too busy"
Today, I want to address a challenge many community members face while getting their remote journey off the ground:
"I don't have enough time"
So today, I'll walk through:
- The 2 types of "too busy to start" people
- How to identify which type you are
- And how to solve the time bottleneck for yourself
The two Archetypes of "I don't have time" people
After surveying countless community members and talking to many more, I found that there are two main types of busy people:
- The "I don't want to prioritize this" (70% of people)
- The "I'm too busy to figure this out myself" (30% of people)
Here's how to identify your type & solve:
The "I don't want to prioritize this" (70% of people)
This is the by far most common archetype of "too busy to start" people.
I was this archetype before I got started in 2023/2024.
These people are not really too busy to start. Rather, they use "I don't have time" as an excuse to never start. Because if they would have time to start, they could actually start, and then fail.
In other words, this archetype is fear of failure masked as busyness.
How you know if you're this archetype:
If you:
- Have more than 1 hour of screen time on social media per day
- Play video games a few times a week (or every day)
- Go out and party during weekends
...then, you are 100% part of this archetype.
If that's you, I hate to break it to you but:
You're keeping yourself busy so that you don't need to try and fail.
Now, I know what you're thinking:
"But Sam! Going and partying with my friends on Friday is important for me! Can I not have fun in life?"
That's not the point.
The sacrifice is smaller than you think.
The truth is, you probably just need to give up mindlessly scrolling for 60 minutes on Instagram a DAY to make time.
How to solve:
First, you need to really see the problem here:
- Acknowledge that you're distracting yourself
- Realize that your busyness is just your mind procrastinating in the fear of failure
Then:
- Map out which habits are draining your time (often social media, video games, and partying)
- Make a commitment to cut down on ONE of these habits for just 4 weeks (you can always go back later)
- Spend that 1 hour a day on building on your remote journey instead - and look back after 4 weeks
(Don't know what to do with the new found time? Follow the blueprint in our community)
If you do this right, you'll build so much momentum that you won't be able to stop working.
