How do you spend your day?
About this video
Shelton challenges viewers to evaluate how much time they spend on entertainment versus purposeful activities. He shares his personal practice of dedicating 12 hours daily to purpose-driven activities (family, work, fitness, reading) and limiting entertainment to 5% of that time (36 minutes). Shelton encourages viewers to create their own formula that works for them, starting with honest self-assessment of their current time allocation.
Key takeaways
- Shelton recommends honestly evaluating how much daily time is spent on entertainment versus activities that move life forward
- Shelton practices a 12-hour purpose block with only 36 minutes (5%) allocated to entertainment like social media or TV
- Shelton suggests creating a personal formula that works for your situation, even starting at 50/50 if needed, rather than complaining about lack of progress without changing time allocation
