Jeremy (00:05)
Thanks.

Jim (00:06)
Okay, 75 % with

Jeremy (00:08)
It's

like, okay, you know, everybody has like their schemes that they use to like trick their brain to like doing what you're supposed to be doing instead of fucking around all the time. No, mine's ice cream. That's just what I do instead of what I'm supposed to be doing. My other day, and I said, and I said, ⁓

Jim (00:15)
of months coffee and ice cream.

us a video game.

Jeremy (00:27)
I'm gonna focus in 75 % of my time on my primary goal, which is getting polarity to the next level, getting the playbook launched and typing it up and personal brand. That's all tied together, right? That was it. And then 10 % of my day, of my week, my life. That's exactly. And I'm taking out.

Jim (00:42)
70 % of your day the toll

7 % polarity. I'm really

ready to give you a hug now. Okay.

Jeremy (00:55)
I'm

taking out sleep and stuff like that doesn't count. But my waking hours at my work time, if you will, and then 10 % on like real estate and other investments on health, wellness and relationships, right? And then 5 % is fucking around time because you got to you got to have a little wiggle room.

Jim (00:59)
This for wimps, I mean...

Okay, it keeps the lights on, yeah.

Okay, so we're at 95 % now.

Okay, so 75, me recap. 75 % is work.

Jeremy (01:24)
75 % is not work 75 % is primary number one, you know, whatever is whatever the number one thing if you're like, oh, this is really what I want out of life. This is what I need. Oh, fuck, then just make that your right. It sounds so simple. But for someone who gets easily distracted, it's like, okay, just

Jim (01:29)
the goal is.

I this no I'm being totally sincere when I say I think simple filters are incredible because you can say to yourself whenever there's like a some sort of interruption happened you know is this contributing to

Jeremy (01:54)
I'm to my 5

% fucking around time. I don't like that. Right. Because I want to use that for fun stuff. That's you. being outside.

Jim (02:00)
Okay,

so 75 % is primary objective. In my case, it's polarity. In your case, it's polarity. Correct. And then 10 %

Jeremy (02:06)
Yeah, basically, that's it. Yeah. Percents

real estate and other investments because I still have that while I don't run day to day with a lot of those.

Jim (02:13)
What would 10

% be more broadly for generic purposes?

Jeremy (02:17)
or a

person, would be like side quests that still take you to a goal that you want. Wait a minute, that still take you to a goal that you want that is productive and positive. But you can make it whatever you want.

Jim (02:28)
Wait, wait, you

had me at SideQuestGamerLingo? mean, it's my love language.

Jeremy (02:33)
And the other 10 % is health, wellness, and relationships, which is tiny for me. Like that's tiny. I can jiggle. I can jiggle between the remaining 25%.

Jim (02:41)
if you stacked. ⁓

jiggle in relationships. So if you stacked, I'm being serious for a second.

Jeremy (02:52)
to make real

estate and other investments in the less I get that money back. I get that time. But time is money. I get that time back into health wellness, ⁓ enjoyment relationships, people and people and moments is what so so

Jim (02:54)
You can get those things out of your temper.

Okay,

so people in moments is that now if I were to take you said walking personal stuff that walking is often personal stuff for you. So in your analogy, if you were to combine, for example, relationships and walking that goes into one bucket, you get more of that time back for other stuff. Double my pleasure. You're stacking. ⁓ I've heard my wife has talked about habits stacking. Like where Yes, so that's

Jeremy (03:30)
So I'll

sometimes eat a healthy thing on my way walking outside. So I'm ticking a lot of boxes while I'm talking to someone in person or on the phone. Yeah, that's great. That's like tick every box that is habit stacking. Very I don't do it intentionally.

Jim (03:43)
I

think habits that yeah, I have it. No, I the way I was using habit stacking is like you are but I think she would say habits stacking is like you you do something to trigger the next thing. Right. So like if I if I'm going to meet somebody I'm going to take a walk in order to get outside because that's important to me and then I'm gonna make meeting them the prize at the end which will force me to take the walk which I really don't feel like taking right now. Right. So for you that's the candy.

Jeremy (03:53)
Okay, that's

I like to

Yeah, would say those are things that that and then and then like I said the 5 % like you know You're gonna just drift off and do things that aren't necessarily don't fit into any bucket and that's okay So if that ends up being 5 % or closer to 10 % that's still okay You still have enough jiggle room just relentlessly don't ever eat into the 75 % That's the key. Okay. Now if you do it on one day It's like anything else like a cheat day and you're like down around 60 65 % then just make sure you're making it up for the rest of the week

Or don't have the cheat day. If you don't have the cheat day, you don't even have to think about it. Always stick to 75%. You know what's going to happen? I saw a thing. going say I read it, but again, I saw it on TikTok and it was basically 20 minutes of doing is worth 20 more, 20 hours. We take that 20 minutes of doing is worth more than 20 hours of planning. Yeah. Right. But how many people, we talk about

Jim (05:10)
How about 20 minutes of planning and then 20 hours of doing?

Jeremy (05:14)
I talk a lot about thinkers planners and doers right because it's like There's a lot of people who fit into one or two of those buckets, but very few people can fit into all three, right? It's rare. It's very rare and I'm not saying I do Well to a degree but what I'm saying is it's the doer part Yeah, I can do but only if it's like emergency. Hmm chaotic emergency like falling off a cliff. Okay now we do

Jim (05:28)
think you do.

I

respect what you're saying.

Jeremy (05:40)
Assemble people in your life. Yeah or people on your teams or if you're working on a project or for a company or scaling up a company you assemble them into to create this like Mega team that then has all these different features because you're just a thinker. Yeah You're never gonna you're never gonna plan or do or if you're a thinker and a planner that sounds great What you need to do or you need somebody who's not gonna take that and run with it? right But if you just have the great founder who just like likes to run with shit and it's

constantly going in different directions. might even be a thinker or visionary and a doer, but they're not a planner. Here's the problem, right? That middle part is essential too. And so that's why having those teams, I had a conversation with someone that we both know that is in business and is struggling with that because the founder is not into always planning and it's like, just run. And the problem is you can't just do that. It has to be a balance.

You can just do it, but you could also fail spectacularly.

Jim (06:43)
Well, and also you could create.

Swirl for people in the wake behind you correct so you know I really like what you're saying this idea surrounding yourself with people who have overlapping vision for their lives with yours like our 75 % aligns very tightly then when thinking about like sliders or calibrators of different skill strengths like you're clearly in the visionary column like you you are a thinker That's way high on you. I also think you are a doer

Jeremy (07:15)
It's the planner part that I struggle with. absolutely. Yeah, that's why. That's why we get along. You're like, put it in the food rack. But it comes out on the other side with like, you know, a wonderful dinner. ⁓

Jim (07:23)
No,

I also know like

that sort of like I do get you know great ideas visionary ideas sometimes but in the calibrator area I'm the person who like if you have the idea I'll go and and and and and right but that initial start

Jeremy (07:43)
Really again, that's rare too because a lot of people can't see the next steps They'll take great managers can usually take a vision from someone else and then implement it But the idea of then taking it and expanding on it Exponentially and adding the and and and is also that sometimes that they're the doer right there the implementer but the the problem is

And sometimes they're planners too, but they're not usually the thinkers. A great manager isn't usually a visionary or a Exactly.

Jim (08:14)
that Ralphie.
