CHAPTER4

Time Toxins

Time is the coin of your life. It is the only coin you have, and only you can determine how it will be spent. Be careful lest you let other people spend it for you.

—CARL SANDBURG

A “TIME TOXIN” IS ANY BEHAVIOR, ACTIVITY, HABIT, person, place, or thing that consumes, steals, hijacks, or contaminates your time and causes you to become stuck, stalled, or stopped when working toward achieving what matters most to you. And this is a crucial part of the Time Cleanse. You need to begin identifying and eliminating these toxins to create more time for those things that matter most to you.
