Artificial intelligence is making it easier than ever to do things yourself—but that doesn't always mean you should. Join me and Matt Robison this week as we explore the hidden opportunity cost of AI, why "saving money" can sometimes cost you hours of valuable time, and how to decide which tasks are worth outsourcing versus handling yourself. You'll also learn practical strategies for avoiding AI rabbit holes, evaluating the true value of your time, and using AI as a tool rather than letting it become another item on your ever-growing to-do list.Find out more about Mike at https://www.mortonfinancialadvice.com and connect at https://www.linkedin.com/in/mwsmorton/

AI can save your team hours every week. But then what? In this episode, Reid sits down with Jamie Gorski, Co-Founder of Journey Lens and Founder of Catchpoint Collective, to explore what happens after AI creates efficiency. They discuss why many organizations are falling into the "free time trap," how leaders should rethink roles instead of simply adding more work, and why change management may be AI's biggest challenge.The conversation also dives into customer and associate journeys, the power of micro moments, measuring AI's ROI, and whether the future belongs to point solutions or all-in-one platforms. If you're navigating AI adoption in multifamily, this episode offers practical insights that go well beyond the technology itself.
Would More Time Actually Make You Happier? (It Might Be Energy You're Missing) Juan questions whether having more free time would actually make people happier, proposing that many would feel just as miserable because they wouldn't know how to use the extra time beyond more consumption or distraction. Juan cites the pandemic as evidence: despite eliminating commutes and gaining time, many remote workers felt more frustrated and guilty, realizing they weren't working continuously and were drained by meetings and distractions. The core issue is framed as energy and quality rest rather than time, illustrated by Juan's wife, Courtney, correcting "I don't have time" to "I don't have energy," and a pattern of meeting others' priorities while neglecting one's own. The episode ends with a practical call to action: set a 5–15 minute timer to close your eyes and rest or nap to regain clarity. 00:00 Would More Time Help 01:06 Pandemic Time Paradox 01:34 Work From Home Reality 02:18 What Fills Free Time 02:54 Time Versus Energy 04:09 Vacation Escape Loop 05:17 Quality Rest Matters 06:31 Clear Head Over Hours 08:30 Slow Down To Recharge 08:50 Five Minute Reset 10:08 Closing Thoughts

Most Advisors are not lacking discipline. They are lacking capacity. In this episode, Brendan Frazier explores a common frustration inside advisory businesses. You know what needs to get done. You have clear priorities. But by the end of the day, the most important work is still unfinished. Instead, your time gets consumed by emails, meetings, and unexpected requests. That pattern is not a personal failure. It is a structural issue. Brendan reframes the challenge by showing that this is not really a time management problem. It is a design problem. If your business is built to react, your growth will stay reactive too. In this episode, Brendan covers: Why time is the most common barrier to Advisor growth What a reactive day actually looks like in practice Why productivity tactics alone do not solve the problem How to think about time as a system, not a schedule How to spend more time on revenue-generating activities

That's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.Discovered another 5 star rating and review today on Audible from Laura Van Wormer. “Scott Miller's narration of old science fiction short stories is just wonderful. Of course, so is the material! Everyone from Ray Bradbury to HG Wells to Lovecraft to Asimov to Jack London and on and on... But there are also the one-timer sci-fi short-story writers that are relatively unknown and Miller provides a little background on them all. Extremely well done. Bravo, Scott Miller!”Thank you for that awesome review Laura.

The Carey Nieuwhof Leadership Podcast: Lead Like Never Before
In this episode, you'll learn a fresh perspective on exactly where your time goes, how to cut the investments where you're least effective, and multiply your time investments in the activities that generate the most results.
Independent healthcare practices are at a critical crossroads. Based on original research from Tracy Cherpeski International's white paper "Unlocking Potential: A Business Blueprint for Practice Owners," this episode reveals the time crisis threatening independent practice ownership—and the surprising wave of change on the horizon. Tracy shares data showing that practice owners spend up to 35% of their time on administrative tasks, while 80% dream of a future with more strategic freedom. But there's hope: with proven time leadership strategies, practice owners are reclaiming 5-10 hours weekly and building sustainable practices that support both exceptional patient care and quality of life. Click here for full show notes Is your practice growth-ready? See Where Your Practice Stands: Take our Practice Growth Readiness Assessment Episode Highlights The shocking data on how much time practice owners lose to administrative work weekly Why physician practice ownership dropped 13 percentage points from 2012-2022 The emerging wave of young and mid-career physicians choosing independent practice ownership Dr. Noah's story: From drowning in admin work to reclaiming his practice and his life The "garden sunlight" framework for understanding strategic time allocation What's at stake if we don't support the next generation of practice owners Proven strategies that help owners reclaim 5-10 hours per week Memorable Quotes "The biggest threat to independent healthcare practices isn't private equity buyouts or declining reimbursements—it's how practice owners are spending their time every single week." "Medical school teaches you how to diagnose and treat patients. It doesn't teach you how to build systems, delegate effectively, or think like a CEO." "Your time as a practice owner is like sunlight in a garden. If you spread it too thin across every single plant, nothing grows particularly strong." "We're at an inflection point. And the question is: will these courageous physician entrepreneurs have the support, resources, and business knowledge they need to succeed?" "Independent healthcare practice ownership doesn't have to be a path to burnout. With the right approach, it can be exactly what you envisioned."

What separates thriving enterprises from those trapped in operational stagnation? In this strategic analysis, host Alan Pentz and Chad Brooks, Senior Managing Editor of Business.com, examine the systemic inefficiencies plaguing small business growth. Drawing from comprehensive research, Brooks reveals that entrepreneurs work 45-hour weeks yet dedicate merely four hours to actual growth activities—with 82% losing entire workdays to email management alone. This discourse transcends conventional productivity advice, presenting empirical evidence and sophisticated frameworks for operational restructuring, strategic delegation, and the judicious implementation of AI as a force multiplier. For executives seeking to transform from operational managers into visionary growth architects, this conversation provides the intellectual foundation necessary to reclaim strategic focus and unlock sustainable scalability.

Do you feel controlled by time? Does life appear to be coming at you too much and too fast? When the waves of life come crashing down, it can be tempting to deny one's emotions and to distract from the “bigness” of the moment. However, if we want to be present for the events of our lives, even the ones that feel overwhelming, we can use our practice to meet the moment head-on. With honesty and intention, we can learn to expand and open ourselves to the flow of life. We can release our grip and learn to trust the waves. On this woodland walk, imagine a life of flow, rather than constriction… a life of trust, rather than fear.

Hey there, welcome back to Designed for the Creative Mind! Today we're diving into a topic that hits way too close to home for so many designers — the dreaded “time trap”. Yep, I'm talking about hourly billing and the never-ending stress of tracking every bathroom break like you're auditioning for TaskRabbit. If you've ever stayed up late trying to remember how long that third round of tile edits took… this episode is for you. What we're talking about in this episode: Why charging by the hour feels “responsible” but wrecks your profits (and sanity) How hourly pricing turns you into a technician instead of a trusted expert Why your efficiency should be rewarded, not penalized How to handle clients who want a minute-by-minute breakdown A real-life example of switching to a flat fee (and how it changed everything) How value-based pricing builds trust, boundaries, and breathing room for creativity I'm walking you through my own journey of breaking free from hourly billing — the mistakes I made, the lessons I learned, and how I now coach other designers (like my client “Jess”) to make this shift with confidence. Here's the big takeaway: Clients are paying for your genius, not your time. It's time to stop selling hours and start selling transformation. If you're ready to ditch the time trap and step into your role as a creative professional (with pricing that reflects it), let's chat. Book a call with me or my team and let's get you out of hourly hell. Remember — you're not alone. And you don't have to stay stuck. Until next time, keep rising — one decision at a time.
