It's that T.I.M.E of the week again!

The newsletter that provides actionable life lessons to a wealthier, healthier, and happier future.

Inputs Vs Outputs Ratio

If you are feeling overworked, tired or burnt-out, consider this.

Most of us think we’re exhausted, but what we’re really feeling is overstimulation.

We’re drowning in inputs and starving for outputs.
And this imbalance is quietly wearing us down.

Imagine a simple diagram with a balance scale with two sides:

The input side is overflowing, constant consumption, noise, and information.
The output side? Usually neglected.

This overload doesn’t just make you tired, it can lead to mental fatigue, anxiety, and even burnout. Not because you're doing too much, but because you're absorbing too much with no time to digest it.

We wake up and check our phones.

We scroll, consume content, listen to podcasts, answer emails, and scroll again.

It’s a never-ending intake loop with no space for processing.

But what we often need isn’t rest, it’s release.

Finding the balance is crucial.

How to Use the Diagram in Daily Life

Use this visual as a daily check-in:

Morning:
Ask yourself: Where are my outputs today?

Aim for this rhythm:
For every 2–3 inputs, add 1 meaningful output.

Try:

• Journaling one idea.

• Going for a short walk.

• Having a phone-free chat with a friend.

• Sketching, stretching, or simply sitting with your thoughts.

Evening:
Revisit the balance. Did you express more than you consumed?

You don’t need to eliminate inputs.

If you want to feel better, you do need to give your mind an outlet.

I love finding new podcasts and I am a massive fan on Tony Robbins. I’m also trying to start consuming information that will help me to learn how to invest my money.

In the debut episode of The Holy Grail of Investing , the hosts sit down with Robert F. Smith, the visionary behind Vista Equity Partners, a firm managing over $100 billion in assets.

What they discuss:

• How Smith used engineering principles to build a highly successful private equity firm

• His unique investment philosophy and systems-based thinking

• The impact of AI on technology companies and how it’s driving unprecedented efficiency

• Why data, discipline, and decision-making are crucial in scaling success

• Personal insights on leadership, legacy, and long-term value creation

Key takeaways for you:

• Think like an engineer: process and discipline can drive breakthrough results

• Leverage AI as a tool for scale, not just speed

• Success isn’t luck, it’s systems, structure, and smart risk

• Your background doesn’t limit you; your vision (and execution) does

This one is for anyone interested in learning from successful entrepreneurs.

Be mindful of what you say.

You never know the affect your words can have on others.

At the same time, use what you know to empower when you can.

A powerful visual of the difference between thinking vs doing.

I consider myself an action taker. I get stuff done, however sometimes, this to my determent because I act without thinking it through properly

The hard part is finding the right balance. Something I still grapple with.

One thing I will say though is I would rather fail forward than sit there with regrets, overthinking and not try anything at all.

So what are you, a thinker or a doer?

Ambitious Question

When was the last time you did something for the first time?

In case you missed this week’s newsletter, here’s what I shared:

TEACH – The Grand Theory of Life – A 2x2 matrix that maps how you spend your time: consuming vs creating, alone vs with others. The sweet spot? Creating with friends. That’s where meaning, connection, and magic live.

INSIGHTS – AI Is Lying To Us – Simon Sinek reminds us that soft skills like empathy, curiosity, and friendship are irreplaceable in an AI-driven world. Real resilience comes from human connection, not more tech.

MOTIVATION – Outgrow Your Problems – Some problems aren’t meant to be solved, just outgrown. Let go. Move on. Grow beyond the knot.

EXPLORE – Creativity Vs Constraints – Limitations aren’t obstacles—they’re launchpads. Like Dr. Seuss writing Green Eggs and Ham with just 50 words. Use what you have. Make it work. Magic will follow.

Ambitious Question – Are you avoiding discomfort or chasing growth?
