The clock runs. The hour passes. The time is spent.
Most of the world gets paid for the passing of that time. It's a comfortable contract. An agreement of safety. Trade one hour of life for an agreed-upon unit of currency.
The problem with this contract is that it caps your potential. It rewards presence, not performance. It celebrates effort, not outcome.
But the economy of impact is different.
No one pays the painter for the hours she spent cleaning the brushes. They pay her for the masterpiece. No one pays the entrepreneur for the hours he spent staring at the ceiling. They pay him for the breakthrough idea.
They pay for the result.
The moment you accept this truth, your relationship with the clock fundamentally changes. You stop asking, "How long will this take?"
You start asking the only question that matters:
What can I do with this time that will yield the single greatest result this week?
This is the question of leverage. It's the search for the action that isn't just productive, but reproductive.
The task that doesn't just fill an hour, but multiplies the value of every hour that follows.
Stop measuring in minutes. Start measuring in impact.
What is the multiplier you're ignoring?
Your Coach,
Spencer
