I’m doing a daily video challenge on X and sharing it across my Substack notes during the month of September. Coincidentally today’s video prompt is Time Management.

So here am really spending tons of time thinking about your words. In truth, while serving in the Air Force, my time was planned by them. For 14 years.

Now, I plan it. And now I plan myself around the things I need to do, when I need to do them because I agree with you that time is not what we manage, but ourselves, our tendencies, our faults, our habits.

So good! I’m quoting you on my video today!

From me to the Author Alex Mathers

Alex Mathers/Joe-Kwame,

excellent, brief, disciplined, structured and Relevant Advice,

Recap and interpretation:

• Failure is an alert sign, for the ones who understand the benefit from faults and progress in bettering.

• Dreams are lucid play in your mind, created by Subconscious Thinking. Conscious Thoughts are there to resolve into action

• the Archetype and driving Force of Science and Research, on and on… minding the way remains the Objective.

• „…network determines your net worth. Surround Yourself with losers and become a loser,“…and the Opposite

• Discomfort along with Faultiness mean to be your harassing impuls for bettering.

• physical time is irrelevant and void, Psychological Timing is propelling, bringing quality to your Life

• Time to Listen, Time to Shine and Time to Learn

thank you, Alex.

Namasté, Joe-Kwame
