Jardin Nelson Mandela - Paris The more control you have over your attention, the more control you have over your future. And it starts with having enough courage to protect your time.  It's so easy to say yes.  We want to be agreeable, helpful, liked.  That's how time disappears and attention becomes fragmented:  not in big chunks, but in a thousand small concessions.  What you trade your attention for is what your life becomes.  James Clear 3-2-1 Thursday Blog REFLECTION:Examine your time.What small concessions do you make with your time?Do you say 'yes' too often - wanting to be seen as agreeable, helpful and liked?Do you have the courage to protect your time?What does that look like?
