On a daylight savings morning the host reflects on living the repeated hour and explores a 4% rule—how little time is spent in the present—inviting viewers to notice where their minds dwell.
On this daylight savings day, are both daylight savings days called daylight savings. We got to live an hour twice overnight. Whether it's my face or someone else's face you see bopping here into the Cadre sphere, we risk to share the things that we know. This is part of our journey towards experiencing better life.
We're supposed to spend 48% of our time planning for the future. But there's only one moment that we can have influence over. And that moment is right now. Pretty cool and also pretty backwards that we spend so little time training ourselves to make the most out of it.
So I ask you to consider today. Where is your brain living? Are you actually going, ooh, I am right where I am. Or are you thinking about tomorrow and all of the tomorrows after that? Acknowledging that your brain's in the future is bringing you into the current moment.
We got to live an hour twice overnight. It's the only time I've ever seen it happen. You better go ahead and live the hour that you're living right now. I will see you tomorrow. But hopefully after you've lived today, peace.
Hey, good morning, Cadre. How are we doing on this Sunday? This depending on where you live, but on this daylight savings day, are both daylight savings days called daylight savings. The one when you get the time and the one when you lose the time, I never know that, but I know that the hour is set back. So we got to live an hour twice overnight. At least that's the way that I think about it. Good morning, Chris Fortman. Good morning, Maffy. How are y' all today? Jules, nice to see you. Nice to see you.
On this Sunday. We got to live an hour two times last night, and we wake up, and all of a sudden it's a little bit sunnier in the morning, and all of a sudden this afternoon, we know it'll get a little bit more twilight, a little bit faster. So. Tis the season, right? Well, hey, I'm glad that I'm here. I'm glad that you're here. I know what I know, and I care about you. That is true every single darn day. Whether it's my face or someone else's face you see bopping here into the Cadre sphere, we risk to share the things that we know and we've experienced, not because they're right, not because it's exactly what you need, but because the exercise of sharing our experiences, whether they be professional or personal, from the things that we've planned or the things that surprised us, this is part of our journey towards experiencing better life.
Good morning, Luke. Good morning, Jules. Nice to see y' all this morning. So, yeah, we got to live an hour twice overnight on Sundays. I often talk about this idea of thin space, the space that exists in between. You may go in between. What? Well, speak wonder. I often like sharing my JC math, which I'm not a big math person, but every once in a while, there's a couple things that make sense in my head, that paint the picture, that paint the story in a way that I think makes sense. So I always like thinking about it as the 4% rule.
It feels like it seems like, as I observe the world, that we are encouraged as humans to spend about 48% of our time unpacking the past to go, what have we learned? Where are we going? Where are we growing? We're supposed to spend 48% of our time planning for the future. It's irresponsible if we do not plan things out, if we don't have all the things in place for every possible that could happen. Right? So we're supposed to spend about 48% of our time on the past, 48% of our time in the future. We're only supposed to spend about 4% of our time.
Now, no one ever says this, but you do the math. There's only so much time left. We're supposed to spend about 4% of our time in the current moment, in the moment that we are in. And that's when I go, yeah, but there's only one moment we actually have any power and any influence over any influence that we can actually know that we actually have influence over. Because people sometimes argue and be like, we have influence over the future, and if we don't learn from the past, we never will. Xyz. Yes and yes.
But we also know that the future can throw the curveball. We know that the past. There are complexities that even as we try to learn, sometimes we get it wrong. So the point being, we have one moment that we can have influence over, one moment that we can actually say, I can experience this thing. And that moment is right now. Pretty cool and also pretty backwards that we spend so little of our time training ourselves to be where we are with what we have and to making the most out of it. So I ask you to consider today.
Where is your brain living? Like, in this moment, in this right now moment, are you actually going, ooh, I am right where I am. Or are you thinking about yesterday or all of the yesterdays before that? Or are you thinking about tomorrow and all of the tomorrows after that? Not because it's like, oh, you're doing it wrong, but the act of noticing, the act of going, huh? I am aware that right now I am thinking about everything that's going to happen after today. Even you. Acknowledging that your brain's in the future is bringing you into the current moment.
Because in this moment, that's where your brain is. Back to daylight savings time. We got to live an hour twice overnight. I had a pretty rough health night. I was up most of it, and I literally watched the clocks go tick, tick, tick, flip back an hour, tick, tick, tick, same hour again. It was pretty cool to be up for that, because normally we go to bed, we wake up, and all of a sudden the clocks have changed, the satellite clocks have changed, right? And then you have to run around to the house and find the ones that haven't changed.
But how many times in this life do you get to live an hour? Twice? Groundhogs Day, Bill Murray. It's the only time I've ever seen it happen. That's a movie and a musical, but we don't get to live the same hour twice. So you better go ahead and live the hour that you're living right now, the one chance you get to live it. And today, this moment is the only moment where that message makes sense. Y' all have a great rest of your day. I will see you tomorrow. But hopefully after you've lived today, peace.
