    #437: My Secret To Add Hours To Your Day!

    This episode is likely to be one of the most controversial Eva has ever published, at least among the younger big dreamers who would love nothing more than to spend hours of time each day watching TV, perusing TikTok or playing video games. DreamBigPodcast.com/437  But this is the DREAM BIG podcast, and the truth is that too many people are destroying their big dreams by spending all their “free” time every day on anything but working towards their big dreams.  Studies show that the average American spends more than 6 hours every day watching TV and on social media.  That’s 6 hours per day that could be spent making progress on your dreams.  In this episode, Eva shares her 3-part strategy for reclaiming many of those hours, and how you can ensure that this newfound time will be spent on working towards your big dreams.  For our show notes, visit DreamBigPodcast.com/437   Check out other inspiring episodes: DB 409: Escape the Rut: Find Your Fun and Big Dreams Again!
