Taking a goal, or an achievement, and striking for 10x that. It sounds crazy, and its supposed to. Life is too short, no matter how long it is. Because there’s just too much to experience. The volume of things is growing at an insane rate. We live in an age where there’s a million different things to watch, read, listen to…on and on. Creators are pumping out better and better content at ever increasing rates, which is itself a very positive sign of a societal shift towards creativity. Creativity being, I believe, the greatest strength of humanity. But life doesn’t have to *seem* too short. While it will always remain so, we have enormous power over our perception of time. Inspired by [this article](https://medium.com/the-mission/why-there-is-no-such-thing-as-time-management-4d514a21060a), I’d encourage you to say screw it to balance. Focus. Focus on one thing completely, give it all of your attention. All of your time. Then focus on something else. Don’t try and balance your time between a million different things. I myself am guilty of this since I love to do a million different things, am very much a jack of all trades. +> William Penn — Time is what we want most, but… what we use worst. -> William Penn — Time is what we want most, but… what we use worst.Trying to do everything at once will confuse and overwhelm you and rapidly burn you out. Find a focus, concentrate on it to its fullest, and then find the next. That’s the key to 10xing your achievements, and to ‘stretching out’ your perception of timing.
