Make Time for Growth - Ryan Cutter

Branch Out - A Podcast from Connection Builders

Many of us could not readily answer if you asked us what we had for lunch yesterday or how we spent our time last week. Talking to us today about making time for growth is Ryan Cutter, senior associate with CID Capital and positive intentions and actions enthusiast. Ryan tells us how he manages a full-time job yet still gives himself time to read books, exercise, and meditate. He breaks down the benefits of taking time to do the things you love, including being more productive and less resentful of those taking up your time. We find out why we should have the work ethic of a lion (short bursts of intense concentration) compared to that of a cow (prolonged, less intense effort) and why you owe it to yourself to make time to grow. We discover the creative benefits of relaxing and how looking back at previous journal entries can show you how much you've grown.

Key Points From This Episode:

• The importance of finding time to yourself in being intentional in your daily life.
• How meditating for as little as 10 minutes a day can set you up for success.
• Looking back at previous journaling and observing how you've grown.
• Owing it to yourself: giving yourself space to do the things you love.
• The Lion vs Cow work ethic: why being highly productive for a shorter period is better than being less productive over a longer period.
• Taking ownership of your time to avoid resentment.
• How spending time in your thoughts can help you grow.
