Done Every Day (While Working LESS)","description":"<p>In December 2018, I gave my wife an empty box for Christmas.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>No, it wasn’t a “gag gift.”</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It was literally just an empty box.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I remember the look on Lucy’s face when I gave it to her…</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I could tell she was kind of confused (which is totally fair).</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So I said to her…</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>“Every day, at 5:30 PM, I’m going to put my phone in this box.&nbsp;I’m going to unplug myself from my business.&nbsp;And I’m going to spend the evening completely focused on you and the kids.”</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>That was my promise to her.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>And it was one of her favorite Christmas gifts ever.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>But halfway through 2019, things changed.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I took over as the CEO and owner of 7 Figure Flipping.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I was running 2 businesses, each with full teams of employees I was responsible for.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I was sleeping 2 or 3 hours a night.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So I talked with Lucy, and I said, “Hey, things are kind of crazy right now…”</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I explained the situation.&nbsp;And she understood.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>After that, the phone stopped going into the box.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I was pretty bummed about not being able to stick with it.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>And I remember one day just before Flip Hacking LIVE I saw that empty box sitting in our living room and realized it had been months since I’d put my phone in it.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>A thought crossed my mind…</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The same thought we all have when life is crazy-busy and stressful.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I thought, “I wish there were more hours in the day.&nbsp;I wish I could get more done in less time.”</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If I could have figured out a way to accomplish 3X more per hour, I would have had PLENTY of time to spend with Lucy and the kids every day.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If I could have TRIPLED my work output…</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>...then I could have put my phone in the box at 4:00 PM if I’d wanted.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>That would have been awesome.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I’m sure you’ve felt this way too…</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>We’ve ALL wished for more hours in the day.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>We’ve all wished we could be more productive.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>And at the start of a new year, we’re all thinking about how to get more done and hit our goals.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So I want to bring some special on the podcast today…</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Nina is a real estate investor.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>But in addition to that, she’s the creator of an incredible time management system that she uses to 3X her
