Hey everyone. This is Kirk here again from Option Alpha and welcome back to the daily call. Today, we’re going to be talking about why time comes to those who make it, not those who find it. Now, I think this is really important because ultimately, the last couple of weeks, I think I mentioned this on a Facebook Live recently, but I went through a little bit of funk in my schedule and we were traveling and we had so much going on with the kids and school, soccer, swimming, they’re overlapping, swimming and soccer and I just couldn’t seem to find time to get some of the content writing and some of the podcast done that I wanted to do. And ultimately, what I ended up realizing was that I was trying to find time in my day, like fit something in that was important, but ultimately, what I needed to do was I needed to make time for it. I needed to block out time in my day to make that a priority.

And so, this is a reminder for you and for me because I’m talking to myself as I do this, but we have to make time for the things that are important. And I don’t know why in this case, I slipped and had a really good schedule and then somebody else was taking over the steering wheel and it ended up being my kid’s soccer practice and swim lessons and traveling and family and this and that and I let the steering wheel slip on my time and my habits and ultimately, I paid the price for it. I got a week and a half or two weeks behind on things that I wanted to do. And so, now, what I need to do is again, regroup and make time, block out time in my day to make commitments to the things that are really, really important and ultimately, I have to say no to a lot of things that are really, distractions and get me away from my core path and mission and where I’m going with not only Option Alpha, but with my family and with my relationship with my wife and everything.

This is a good reminder of us today hopefully just to figure out those things that are really, really important and then carve out time. Make time for them in your calendar, on your planner, in your phone, so that they become the priority. In fact, make time for them at the beginning of the day when you have a lot of energy and your brain has a lot of capacity to get through a subject or to work on a project or to learn options trading. Make that the first thing you do during the day, so that you don’t have to find time for it later on because we all know we’re all searching for time. It’s just nonexistent. It seems like time flies these days, especially if you have so many obligations and work and family and school and friends and relationships. There’s just no time left in the day unless you make time for the things that are important. Hopefully this helps out. As always, if you have any questions, let me know and until next time, happy trading.
