Here is a video I came across and it really crystallized some ideas I've had in my head about time management.
This is the reason some people end up retired early, with multiple flows of passive income,
sipping Pina Coladas on a beach in the Bahamas, with all the freedom in the world, no worries about finances/etc
And others end up in the daily monotonous grind, wearing away their life, passion and self worth,
thinking "Damn, is this all there is to life?"
It all comes down to the time you have and what you select to do with it,
and the concept of ROTI = Return On Time Invested
@MJ DeMarco expressed this concept way before Rory did this talk even,
and in my personal experience,
I've noticed there is a undeniably huge correlation between those that are successful
and a high ROTI on their tasks.
So let's the genius that is Rory Vaden take it away:
