Drop The Balls That Bounce!

Do you ever feel like you are juggling too many balls at once?

If you do, you are not alone.

I got a really cool concept of how to prioritize what is important and eliminate what can be done later.

The concept is a simple one.

Imagine you are juggling a number of balls. Some are glass (Red) and some are rubber.

If you drop a rubber ball, it will bounce right back up, maybe not as high as where you dropped it but pretty close. Whereas if you drop a glass ball, it will completely break.

This is the same for tasks we do on a daily basis.

Think about all the little tasks you do everyday. The small things that distract you and take your attention away from what is truly important. These are tasks that can be done later and are not won’t have a significant impact if not completed immediately. These are your rubber balls.

Now, what about the tasks that you do on a daily basis that if not completed, the opportunities they provide would seize to exist. These are your glass balls.

If you are juggling too many balls at the moment, consider dropping the ones that bounce as you will be able to pick these up later and make sure you keep the glass balls in the air.

Here are some action steps to get you started:

1. Make a list of all the tasks that you need to complete for the week

2. Create a table with 2 columns

3. Label one column GLASS and one column RUBBER

4. Put all of your must do immediate items in the glass column and your other tasks in the rubber column

5. Focus on all the tasks in your glass column before you move onto any of your less important tasks.

Another method to make this even more impactful is if you take out 3 colors, Green, Yellow and Red and circle the tasks according to the following order, this will help you be even more effective.

Green - Urgent, must do

Yellow - Less Urgent but still need to be done soon

Red - Tasks that are less of a priority and can be done later

You can use this green-yellow-red system for both columns to help you prioritize tasks in each and become incredibly efficient.

Remember: Drop the balls that bounce!

Do you ever feel like you’re putting in the work in the gym but not seeing results?

The answer is pretty simple, but you may not like it.

You can be ticking all the other boxes such as diet, exercise, rest but the truth is genetics play a massive factor.

It is refreshing to hear how honest and direct Dr Mike Isreatel is when addressing expectations that people have when trying to get in shape.

In this short clip they discuss:

1. The influence that genetics play in your athletic ability

2. How much protein you should be taking in daily for muscle growth

3. How diet and consistency are the biggest limiting factors in training, especially in older professionals

4. Strategies for hoe you can get in shape.

And much more…

Love this from Mark.

As we start to peel back the layers, we become more honest with ourselves.

As soon as I started taking full accountability for everything that happens in my lie, my life changed.

Try it.

This one is or all the coffee lovers.

Did you know your morning coffee is doing way more than just waking you up?

In this episode of The Ultimate Human, Gary Brecka dives into the science-backed benefits of caffeine, and trust me, it's not just about keeping your eyes open!

He talks about a 2025 study from the European Heart Journal found that daily coffee drinkers could slash their mortality risk by nearly 30%. But that’s just the beginning. Caffeine also boosts brain function, protects against neurodegenerative diseases, and even enhances physical performance.

Timing is key, though!

Brecka suggests waiting 90–120 minutes after waking before having your first cup. This helps your body sync with its natural cortisol rhythm, giving you better, longer-lasting energy.

The takeaway?

Your daily brew isn’t just a pick-me-up, it’s a health hack.

Check out the short video above to find how you can use coffee to optimize your health!
