Yesterday I had a call with an upstart Bitcoin Treasury Co. Very hot deal, lots of FOMO. Was hard to get a call scheduled. Potential 100X.

I've been going to the gym for over a year now consistently, partly to be a good example of health for my daughter.

Once in a while I'll casually ask her if she wants to come with me as I'm leaving. This time she said yes 🧡

I knew my gym session was going to run late now that she was coming, so now I had a problem - do I skip the call that I've been trying to get done all week and signal that I'm unreliable to the team, or do I try to make it work and do the call at the gym while I put my daughter on the treadmill for 20 mins and split my focus?

The words of my coach dan martell (Buy Back Your Time) came into my mind. He talks about how people often tell him their number 1 priority is their family, but when he asks to see their calendar, he sees either nothing planned with the family or too much work.

"Show me your calendar and I'll show you your priorities."

I decided to prioritize my daughter and our time together by not trying to fit the call in. I had my team reschedule the call and I spent the focused time with my daughter.

Tbh I might have missed the opportunity because it’s gonna be hard to get that call rescheduled, but I’m glad I made the right choice for what I’m trying to optimize my life for 🫂
