294 More Time Doesn’t Solve CPAs Overworking

294 More Time Doesn’t Solve CPAs Overworking

I used to think I needed more time. If I just had more time, I could solve so many more problems. But thinking that way never solved enough problems to give me more time. Instead, I maintained a status quo of “never having enough time.”


You might want more time. More free time. For your health. For your family. To travel. You might think you need more time. But “more time” isn’t the solution to the “not-enough-time” problem. 


If what you want is more time, the answer lies in changing what you think.


Changing what you think in order to get what you want might be the simplest but hardest thing you can do. 


I hope you’ll accept the challenge. :)
