    Introduction

    Hello everyone! I'm Mridu Parikh, and this is Escaping Time Traps: How to Streamline Your Life and Make Better Decisions, a course from Scribd. Thank you for joining me.

    Are you so great at what you do that you decided to start your own business? Were you expecting the freedom and flexibility to do it on your terms but found yourself handcuffed to your business? If you feel like you're not doing anything well, whether it's at work or home, then you're in the right place.

    One of the biggest challenges that entrepreneurs face is the mindset that there are things we believe have to get done no matter what, A.K.A., our priorities.

    You're probably familiar with this scenario. You have a to-do list where you've written down everything you need to accomplish for the day. You work all day and stay busy doing all the things for all the people. You check everything off the list, and then somehow, you're adding more and more to the list, and you barely make a dent in it.

    Now you feel horrible about yourself. The end of the day comes around, and even though you worked like crazy, you don't feel like you really got anything meaningful off that list. That then, unfortunately, snowballs into really negative effects. You continue to operate like this and feel bad day after day, week after week.

    One of the reasons is that you don't have proper control of your time. There are several time sinks just swallowing your time, and this course will teach you how to let go of them.

    First, we'll be looking at five habits you should stop doing right now to sharpen your focus and save time. Then we'll talk about how to streamline your life and make good decisions. Afterward, we'll look at how you
