Over the years of trials and tribulations, I've learned how to collapse time.
...when I use this ability it allows me to do an impossible amount of powerful actions that propel my life forward in a relatively short amount time - while having fun and not getting burnt out :)
I'll be honest, I'm not perfect at it... but I'm getting damn good.
I'm going to break this down and show you how I do it to the best of my ability.
Over the past 11 weeks, I have:

and probably more things I can't think of right now...
I've also made some mistakes, it's resulted in some deep pain and learning on how to be a better man and leader.
In my life, I vow to be an unstoppable force of nature.
Maybe this list impresses you, maybe it doesn't, it's not the point.
This isn't about some productivity hack or believing that getting more stuff done makes you a better person.
My point is that the excuse of "I don't have the time" doesn't exist in my life anymore...
It's a belief I've been eradicating and transcending in my system and I encourage you to do so as well.
There is always time, and there is a way to collapse time.
And most importantly, none of the things on the list above have been done through effort and tightening down... precisely the opposite.
The secret is relaxation, and letting it be done through you.
I will explain this and give some examples. Most people think that time is linear and finite.
Meaning, I have 10 minutes, 10 minutes is 10 minutes, and there will never be more or less than 10 minutes in that time frame.
It's not true.
That's just what appears on the surface of 3D reality.
A lot can happen in 10 minutes.
You can sit and binge-watch NetFlix for 10 minutes.
A baby can be born in 10 minutes.
Someone can say "I love you" and alter your life forever.
A war can break out in 10 minutes.
An infinite amount of things can happen in 10 minutes, time is not linear.
You can spend 10 minutes being utterly ineffective and frustrated.
Or you can spend 10 minutes in pure inspired action channeling your most powerful work and get more done than you did in 2 years in those 10 minutes.
The secret is energy and relaxation.
If you take a deep look at the world, you will notice that the most powerfully effective and joyful people are actually the most relaxed.
The secret to that relaxation is knowing that everything that is meant to be created through you has already been created on an energetic level.
It already exists.
It's why you can feel that vision or that calling in your heart, you feel it because it's real, and what you want actually wants you as well.
All you have to do is become a frequency match for it.
This means relaxing and getting inspired
When you create the proper conditions in your body, the right actions will arise spontaneously through you, precisely at the right time, with minimum effort.
The problem arises when we egoicly think that we actually have to "make it happen" by trying harder, pushing, or overthinking.
Believe me I've tried all the time management courses and approaches, and none of them ever worked for me.
All it ever created was more tightness in my body and more suffering as I relentlessly tried to organize an endless amount of tasks and push through life.
It squeezed all the creative oxygen out of my body, made me stressed, ineffective, physically ill, disconnected from my spirit, and out of tune with the deeper wisdom trying to move through me.
These days I do things very differently.
I work very little with "to-do" lists and work primarily with creating energetic alignment within my body.
I simply move through my day focusing on the most expansive state or action I can focus on, having fun and doing what fuels me the most... and then... stuff just comes through me.
It's like a spark of inspiration hits, and I just know exactly what to do, and it gets done effortlessly with minimum effort.
Take the writing of this current issue as an example.
I actually sat down at the computer feeling completely blocked.
I tried to write, but nothing came through.
I knew the article I wanted to write was already written, so instead of getting upset about it I realized I just had to become a frequency match for it.
I went for a walk, made a smoothie, talked to the cat, and took some time to connect and feel the vision for my life and what I'm building.
...and then spontaneously.
"Oh yeah, that idea about time collapsing I wanted to articulate."
That was 30 minutes ago, now I'm having a blast.
The real beauty that is meant to come through you always happens when you're in an expansive and relaxed state, and it often arises non-linearly.
Entering this state and being a master at this is a process because it means being able to embrace high amounts of what your mind tells you is "chaos" or "boredom"
Your mind tells you to sit and write an article, it feels like there's a gun next to your head if you don't get this thing done right.
Your wisdom tells you to eat something and pet the cat instead.
Your mind doesn't know that eating something and petting the cat will actually help you get the thing done, so you wrestle internally with the dissonance.
Over time though, you learn to trust this process and to discern what the path is and where you're just fooling yourself with distractions or trying to run away from doing what you're afraid to do (more on this below)
The key is relaxing when you want to contract, zooming out, and trusting that it will be done through you when it needs to be done.
Hold a firm vision, and relax.
If it doesn't feel like joy in your body, don't do it.
f you don't know what to do and you're feeling anxious, scarce, or tense... stop trying to pluck it out of the ether.
Trust that it will come when the time is right and simply focus on relaxing, breathing into the tightness, and focus on something else.
If something expansive appears on your path, if it vibrates in your body, it's probably a sign it's part of your non-linear process towards your vision.
A couple of months earlier my friend called me up and invited me to a retreat he was hosting.
My whole being wanted to come and hang out with my friends and be part of this retreat.
But I felt fear, contraction, and massive amounts of guilt.
My mind came up with a whole list of reasons as to why I couldn't attend this retreat...
Why it was irresponsible for me to do this with my work obligations, I had just moved and had a ton on my "list" and my life felt chaotic.
Money, time, I need to focus on my work, I need to manage the sailing expedition, etc...
I wrestled with the choice, but my wisdom won over and I ended up going.
I had a great time, I grew, made new friends, healed a major wound, and came out feeling more inspired and fresh.
Worked flowed 10x faster after the retreat and I was more equipped to face a major challenge that came my way.
The sailing expedition also sold out and I did very little, the right people just showed up.
I take this approach to my daily tasks as well.
Sometimes I have a list of stuff to get done and I do it.
More often. I look at that list for the day I tunnel vision only on the most exciting thing on that list that actually vibrates in my body.
What always happens when I do this is that the feeling of excitement starts to propagate and expand through my day and leads me to see things clearer.
Usually, this leads to realizing that 90% of the things on that to-do list weren't actually important.
Some of the coolest things I've created have come about this way.
I write all the sh*t my mind thinks I SHOULD do to clear my head of the noise.
...but then I do what I WANT to do instead.
A CAVEAT: This is a learned skill, you need discernment. If you don't have experience pushing through fear and resistance you can easily use this wisdom to go in circles and indulge in avoidance.
Sometimes you have a firm commitment to yourself and you need to learn to apply this wisdom within the constraints of commitment.
As an example, I have a firm commitment to publish a newsletter every Sunday, that commitment came from inspiration. I choose to do that knowing it will be difficult sometimes, but I apply this way of doing things to that commitment, I'm not going to spend the whole day drinking lemonade because that's what my inner child would rather do.
Continued...
Most of the things people put on their "to-do" list are there because of guilt...
...we feel lost in life and a feel profound sense of emptiness, so in an effort to get somewhere we try to stuff that emptiness with tasks we think will get us somewhere.
Instead, this breeds more emptiness and disconnection.
A wonderful thing happens when you embrace that emptiness instead.
Relaxation, and Space.
Sometimes a lot of tears have to come through you and pain needs to move before that arrives...
...but when it does arrive, the things that are dying to come through you will naturally start to come through you effortlessly.
I cried for 3 months straight almost every evening before the vision that I'm currently working on crystallized for me.
The caveat:
Relaxation doesn't mean distracting yourself or being sedentary.
Sometimes, actually taking a break, turning off, and taking a rest actually IS the highest and most expensive action.
But for me, that time is best spent lying quietly, resting, walking, breathing, or reading a book I enjoy.
The key to time collapsing is removing distractions and senseless life-draining people activities from your life that disperse your attention.
I've learned that my attention is my most valuable asset.
Even if I'm doing nothing, I'm usually meditating and dedicating my attention to the moment, or reflecting inwards.
The Most Important Thing:
Do what you love.
Don't hold back. Recently I had a man sign up for my sailing expedition...
He knew he wanted to do it but he didn't have the resources to do so.
He was so clear in his heart that he wanted to come on the trip he decided to trust that the money would arrive and he put whatever money he had towards a deposit for the trip.
Not only have all the funds for the trip shown up, they have arrived most miraculously in a very short amount of time. (A story I'll share in an upcoming newsletter.)
Time collapsing is like an infinite "on-demand" superpower given to you by the creator.
Picture it like an infinite amount of time and resources in a Universal faucet, you just have to put your bowl up to the faucet and fill it.
Most people never come up to the faucet, and complain their bowl is empty, "I don't have time", "I don't have the resources"
I recently made a video titled "Why I don't believe my own bullsh*t anymore and how it changed me", it's worth a watch.
There is an infinite amount of time, and miracles will happen, but you have to take a leap, do what you are afraid to do, and take action towards your dreams.
When you act from inspiration, time will bend in your favor.
You can't think your way into this.
You have to act your way into this.
Whatever demand for time or miracle you need will be met but you actually have to show the Universe you mean it, otherwise it won't show up and time will not bend in your favor.
What are you waiting for?
