TIME – Page 2 – The Builders Time Machine

In a world that spins faster with every technological advance, reclaiming your time has never been more important.

Why? Because it’s the one resource we can’t manufacture more of, no matter how hard we try.

Despite this intangible truth, many of us find ourselves perennially strapped for time, chasing a never-ending cycle of productivity that often leaves us more depleted than fulfilled .

The journey to reclaiming your time is not about adding more hours to your day but about leveraging the hours you have in a way that aligns with your deepest values and ambitions.

It’s about creating a life that isn’t just busy, but genuinely fruitful and satisfying. This path is deeply explored in my book, where I introduce concepts and exercises designed to guide you through this very transformation.

My coach once shared a powerful criterion for deciding whether to accept or decline any request for my time: “If it was tomorrow, would you do it?”.

This simple question forces immediacy into our decision-making process and often reveals our true willingness (or lack thereof). If an activity doesn’t resonate with us on a level deep enough to say “yes” for tomorrow, it likely doesn’t hold genuine value in our lives. Rather, it creates noise that distracts us from our core purpose and drains the limited time we have .

But the journey doesn’t stop at refining how we allot our engagements; it traverses deeper into the foundation of what drives us—our values. The book guides readers through a “Values Visioning” session designed to crystallize what truly matters to us. This clarity acts as a compass, directing not only our daily choices but also our long-term endeavors and the legacies we aim to build. In essence, when your actions and time investment are congruent with your values, every moment spent feels inherently rewarding, thereby reclaiming your time from the clutches of aimless busyness.

Aimless busyness…. man that hits home.

Reclaiming your time is not an act of selfish preservation but a strategic maneuver towards greater freedom, profit, and impact.

It’s about refining our focus, so we become exceptionally effective at what we do, all while fostering a life rich in experiences that resonate with our true selves.

Taking control of your time is more than a productivity hack; it’s a holistic approach to living. It’s about deciding what’s truly important and carving out a path that respects your most authentic self. As we navigate the fast-paced demands of the modern world, let’s remember that reclaiming our time is not just a luxury but a necessity for anyone looking to make a real difference, both in their lives and the lives of others.

So…. would you do it tomorrow?

Last week, I did something I hadn’t done in 43 years—I went for my first eye exam.

I’d always thought my vision was fine. Sure, I noticed things had gotten a little blurry over time, but I’d chalked it up to long hours in front of screens, my newfound welding hobby or maybe just getting older.

Nothing too serious, right?

But sitting in that chair, with the eye doctor asking me to look through a series of lenses, something happened….

She flipped from one setting to another, showing me what things could look like.

Suddenly, the world snapped into focus—clearer, sharper, and more vibrant than I remembered. It was eye-opening (pun intended) to realize how much my vision had deteriorated without me even noticing.

I walked out of that appointment with a prescription and a new perspective, and it got me thinking about something many business owners are going through right now…

Your business may have slipped into a place where things are far more blurry than you realize.

~ A Slow Decline: You Don’t See It Until Someone Shows You ~

When you’re deep in the grind of running your business, things don’t go wrong overnight. Like my eyesight, your business may have slowly drifted into a state of “blur.”

You’re putting in the hours, managing teams, dealing with clients, and trying to keep everything moving forward. But the clarity you had when you started—why you got into this in the first place—has likely become a bit fuzzy over time.

You might not have noticed that you’re working more hours than ever, but profits haven’t grown.
You might not have realized that your time is being drained by tasks that shouldn’t even be on your plate.
You might have become so accustomed to the constant demands and firefighting that you don’t even recognize how much it’s wearing you down.

And just like me thinking my eyesight was “fine,” you might think this is just the way it is. This is just how running a successful business feels.

But let me tell you—it doesn’t have to be this way.

When the eye doctor switched those lenses and showed me what clear vision could look like, it was like I suddenly had super powers. The same thing happens when I work with custom home builders like you.

My role is to flip the lens for you—to help you see clearly what’s been missing and how good things can be when you’re no longer buried in the day-to-day grind.

Think about this:

You don’t have to work 60+ hours a week just to keep up.
You don’t have to be the one handling every client call, every site visit, or every decision.
Your business doesn’t have to depend on you being involved in every little detail.

But when you get a clear view of what’s possible—delegating tasks, trusting a reliable team, implementing smart systems that allow you to focus on growth and strategy—it’s like putting on a new pair of glasses.

Suddenly, everything sharpens, and you see what you’ve been missing: your time, your freedom, your ability to scale without burning out.

I want you to reflect on this today – and I hope this is the first step in you gaining some clarity.

Always on your side,

Rodric
