We hear about being present, living in the moment, being grateful for what we have. But how to reconcile that with being ambitious and goal-driven?
Let’s create a basic distinction: present time and future time.
We view reality with the sense that some things are normal. They are not.

If someone tells you a story of how they proposed to their loved one, they don’t mention that it took 0:07 seconds to hear yes.
We hear about time management more than decision making, but the decisions are what determines the time spent doing…
