In this episode, Paul talks with Richie Norton, entrepreneur and best-selling author of ‘Anti-Time Management about how you can completely re-think your time and purpose People are trying to find better solutions to managing their time but as Ritchie explains you really need to ask who is in control of your time and understand how you can become a time tipper Change how you think about time and focus on your purpose and everything changes because the opportunity has never been greater to live the life you want and get paid in the way you want to support it   KEY TAKEAWAYS It’s a values-based approach to how you manage your time We have been taught to sacrifice what we love for success so that eventually we will have more time for what we love and care about Is it not that I control my time? who controls my time? Anti-time management is not about managing your time it’s about prioritising your attention Time tippers find joy, magic and space creating an experience in life where you are deciding what you do No one is working for work's sake they are working for something else What people really want is a voice in how they spend their time Your level of autonomy, ability and availability determines how flexible and free you are to make choices   Gavin’s law is, live to start and start to live, because when you live to start your ideas you really start living Serve, think, ask, receive and trust and you are open to the opportunities When the reason for what you are doing is strong enough nothing will get in your way The magic of real purpose is that process follows purpose, you create a purposeful process Take a step back and ask yourself how many of the things you are doing are truly steps in your purpose   BEST MOMENTS ‘How you spend your time is how you show your love’ ‘Everything is done decidedly on purpose, fit for purpose to create time and space’ ‘The opportunity has never been greater to live the life you want and get paid in the way you want to support it’ ‘When you value your time and not time your values everything changes’  ‘There are now generations of people who are waiting to live their lives in retirement’   RESOURCES FOR THIS EPISODE Anti-Time Management by Richie Norton The Power of Starting Something Stupid by Richie Norton https://richienorton.com/   VALUABLE RESOURCES Mindset Change Podcast Mindset Coaching and Therapy The Mindset Coach UK Instagram Mindset Change YouTube    ABOUT THE HOST Paul Sheppard Paul is well known for his holistic therapy and coaching approach  when working with anxiety, stress, confidence, and motivation, understanding, and treating the root causes and surrounding issues He has a passion for understanding how the mind works and has been trained in many therapies.

Third wave can be exhaustion, guilt, shame, anger, judgement and isolation. it can be any consequences from the first two waves.   BEST MOMENTS “I am proof that anxiety heals” “There may be something you are still doing that you might not realise that can keep anxiety and make it much worse” “This is all about hijacking your nervous system, regardless of whether you’re in danger or not”   VALUABLE RESOURCES Mindset Change Podcast Mindset Coaching and Therapy The Mindset Coach UK Instagram Mindset Change YouTube     ABOUT THE HOST Paul Sheppard   Paul is well known for his holistic therapy and coaching approach  when working with anxiety, stress, confidence, and motivation, understanding, and treating the root causes and surrounding issues He has a passion for understanding how the mind works and has been trained in many therapies.
