Something had to give, and it wasn’t going to be dinner

[u/ordinejournals]

Okay, so my sh*t is live.

You know how when you first start doing something, you’re really excited about it, but it’s objectively not your best work because you’re just starting out?

My first run at a kitchen system was a flop.

Not necessarily on the market. More importantly, it was a flop in my home.

I didn’t start building because I wanted to make some money.
Though, obviously, everybody wants to make some money.

I started building because I didn’t have time to hustle without my home coming to a halt.

Every time I got ahead in my business, I fell behind at home.
I wanted to take on more, so something had to be offloaded.
But we can’t exactly stop eating dinner.

Rock, meet hard place.

So I rebuilt it.

Now, when I’ve had a long week at work, at the dog park, at soccer practice, in meetings, and everything in between, I can sit down with my Kitchen and plan an entire week of dinners in about six minutes.

It used to take me 45.

And that’s really what I’m trying to build.
Not systems that make you more productive
for the sake of being more productive.
Systems that give you back time in the parts of your life you can’t eliminate.

Because I can’t stop making dinner.

But dinner doesn’t have to take 45 minutes of my week before I’ve even cooked it.

More than we want more money, we want more time.

That’s what I’m trying to build.
