I WASTED 730 HOURS LAST YEAR

Just a year back, I wasted 2 hrs every single day on my iPad scrolling through YouTube

One day, I just sat and calculated it

(I had to use ChatGPT... I suck at math)

2 hours a day = 730 hours in a year

and if you suck at math as well… understand the fact that 730 hours is a whole MONTH.

So, if I had the mental capacity to spend a 1/12 in a year on binge watching shorts…

I could also have the mental capacity to leverage them

Master a skill
Build a project
Earn 1000$

Step 1

BUILD LEVERGAE EARLY

If you don’t know what “leverage” actually means, here’s the definition.

❝

“leverage” basically means using something small to create a much bigger result.

There are 3 kinds of leverage:

MONEY
Investing early and letting it compound
SKILLS
High income skills like writing, coding (uhm I do hate coding), designing, and sales.
The kind that opens doors and pays you forever once mastered
PEOPLE
The network you build… mentors you learn from… and most importantly, friends who push you higher (yeah, most importantly)

      Leverage
   /     |      \
Money   Skills   People

Understanding these “levers” is one thing… but just knowing isn’t enough. the real thing is when you’re applying it…

APPLYING IT EVERY DAY

CONSISTENTLY

Step 2

THE 30 MINUTE DAILY SHIT

It’s not about having 10 hours… just 30 minutes

Break it down

❝

LEARN A SKILL (10m) ➝ CREATE SOMETHING (10m) ➝ SHARE IT ONLINE (5m) ➝ REFLECT (5m)

30 minutes a day = 182 hours/year

That’s 182 wins that stack into something massive.

P.S.

it’s actually not hard. don’t get me wrong; it’s not easy, but at the same time it’s not hard as well.

Step 3

THE MAPPING

I bet anything that you haven’t decided what to eat for breakfast tomorrow.

But yeah, now I’m not gonna to talk about food

We’ll talk about life

Ever heard of the phrase?

❝

A dream written down with a date becomes a goal.
A goal broken down into steps becomes a plan.
A plan backed by action makes your dreams come true.

So, if you got a dream to achieve, write it down.

Now, break it up into different parts on how you can achieve them.

For example,

Year 1: Learn → explore skills.
Year 2: Build → create first projects.
Year 3: Monetize → charge for your work.
Year 4: Double down → scale what works.
Year 5: Expand → systematize, outsource, grow bigger.

This is something that will work wonders for me; because I have all the time in the world being a 12 year old.

But if you’re starting later, just cut the time in half… and use it WISELY

It just doesn’t matter about the age; it’s all about what u do with the hours you actually have.

Step 4

THE SKILL PYRAMID

Here’s the catch:

stacking hours alone isn’t enough. You can spend all day learning random things and barely move forward.

To really make those hours count, you need to focus on the right skills.

Not all skills are created equal, some unlock everything else.

Think of skills like a pyramid;

Base (must-have):
Communication, writing, learning how to learn.
Middle (value creators):
Sales, coding, design, marketing.
Top (rare):
Leadership, vision, building systems.

Don’t try to skip levels. build the base; then climb.

The hours become result when they are invested in the right stuff.

Knowing and mastering the right skills is only part of the equation.

The other part of the equation is

APPLYING THEM.

❝

Skills without application are like a hammer in a toolbox that never gets used.

To turn your knowledge and effort into real results, you need to build something tangible

Something that proves your skills can create value.

STEP 5

BUILD YOUR FIRST PROJECT

The formula is simple

Find a problem.
Build a small solution.
Sell it.

(it looks so easy on paper; but there’s a hella amount of grind needed)

That first project is proof you can build something from nothing.

After that, it’s just scaling.

All the planning,

Skill stacking,

First projects,

Mean nothing if you don’t actually start.

It doesn’t matter where you start, how old you are, or how much time you think you have.

What matters is what you do with the hours in front of you.

So, its time to LOCK TF IN.

Take care.
