Being a life diabetic means having too much care but not enough time to communicate it. Blood sugar is your care and concern. Insulin is time and resources to transfer that care to people who need it. If you care about too many things and everything is important then nothing is important. Would you rather be 100 percent with four things or 40 percent with 10 things.

What you'll learn in this episode:

• Diabetes analogy: blood sugar is care, insulin is time and resources, high care with low time means care cannot be communicated
• Too much blood sugar damages organs: too much saying yes, too packed schedules, everything important damages you and burns you out
• Insulin deficiency in life: sign up for 10 things but only have capacity for four, attempt to do all 10, then do none well
• Balance required: need equal levels of care and time and capacity, personal organization systems create buffers and discipline
• Investment question: have 100 units of stock, invest in key investments with high return or one dollar in 100 different places

When everything is important nothing is important, and you are not able to show the amount of care that you have because you are spread too thin.
