Why Most People Will Always Be Overwhelmed (Until They Learn This One Workflow Principle)

If you’re exhausted by unexpected tasks, missed opportunities, and the erosion of trust with your key clients—this isn’t about planning better. It’s about thinking better.

And if you can reFRAME how you use time in just four distinct environments, you can finally stop time from running you… and start ruling it.

🧠 Section 2: Change Your Story

You don’t have a time problem. You have a workflow illusion that’s never been upgraded.

The truth? You’re probably not as “behind” as you think—you’re just caught in a mental loop with no exit ramp. The 7 Day Your Time Matters Experiment gives you a structured escape route: one decision, one environment one hour at a time.

🎓 Section 3: Regain Control

Let’s dismantle the myth: You’re not busy. You’re bloated with unnecessary activity.

Here’s how we shift that…
The Mindmap reveals 4 daily environments where time is either stolen or sown:

Environment #1: Before Work (at Home)

• Stage your win before the day begins.
• Clothes ready. Appointments confirmed. Order created.
• STOP reacting to circumstance.
• START architecting outcomes.
• Of course, life throws you curve balls.
• So what… BE Ready So That You Don’t Have To Get Ready!

Environment #2: At Work (Before The Flood)

• Think on paper, using something like the Mindmap shown above.
• Activate your external brain (GTD Methodology — Capture).
• Schedule every Task. Do Nothing Now, except true emergencies.
• Leave 10 minutes of every hour unallocated and use this as flex time when emergencies arise.

Environment #3: At Work (Mid-Motion)

• Reject multi-tasking.
• Read The ONE Thing and start practicing what you’re learning.
• Honor task-completion over task management.
• Check email at strategic intervals—never letting it dictate your mind.

Environment #4: With SELF

• Reflect and Rejuvenate.
• Do a Quick Preview of tomorrow’s BIG Rock responsibilities.
• Control your attention by setting boundaries and practicing rituals.
• Do something for your SELF before you jump back into the mode of “serving others”

Here’s the REAL BENEFIT:

When you commit to structure, logic and sequence, you unlock your SECRET F.L.O.W. That’s how ordinary days become executive unfoldings.

🙌 Section 4: REFRAME Your SELF 1ST (with Help)

This is NOT about mastering your calendar—it’s about reclaiming your crown.

Start your 7-Day Experiment by downloading the Mindmap.

Watch the BIG Rocks First video:

Then…

✅ Determine Your BIG Rocks for each of the 4 environments. Write them down on the Mindmap. (8 Available Slots)

🎯 Here’s the Mindmap Download: BIG Rocks Make Your Time Matter Framework (RNA2066)

✅ Determine Your Smaller Rocks for each of the 4 environments. Write them down on the Mindmap. (4 Available Slots)

✅ Determine Your Sand. These are activities, people, places and things should support the BIG Rock and smaller rocks you’ve already defined (on paper).

✅ Determine Your Essentials. Review your Mindmap each day during the next 7 days, asking the following questions:

1. Is there anything still out of place?
2. Is this anything missing?
3. Is there anything that can be removed (because it is non-essential or provides no value)?
4. At the end of the 7 days, print a new sheet and fill out again. Repeat this 7-Day Process until you can flow without the unnecessary weight — activities, people, places and things — attached to you.
5. Plug in to the 7DS system and do life with like-minded people, started with REFRAME.

This ain’t about productivity—it’s about sovereignty.

You don’t need another planner.

You need Your SELF, and then your RESOURCES Back.

The REFRAME Life Transformation Guide is your next move.

Because until you’ve restructured the way you see your SELF, you’ll keep using your time and other resources on SAND-Level Stuff.
