In this Summer Short, Ryan shares a transformative practice that changed how he relates to time and lateness. What started as a simple experiment became a lasting mindset shift that turned everyday frustrations into opportunities.

Key Takeaways:

  • Reframe delays and cancellations as "time given back" rather than time stolen
  • Track how much time you give versus how much you receive to shift from scarcity to abundance mindset
  • Build micro-flexibility muscles that help you respond better when life doesn't go to plan
  • Partner with time instead of fighting against it

The Practice: For a few weeks, track time given (helping friends, attending meetings) and time received back (early meeting endings, cancellations, delays). Notice how this shifts your perspective from scarcity to abundance.
