Episode 4090: J. Money shares how a simple walk with his young son helped him realize he was heading toward burnout and inspired a practical framework for deciding which projects are truly worth keeping. By evaluating every commitment through the lenses of time, money, and enjoyment, and pairing that with Derek Sivers' "Hell Yeah or No" philosophy, he offers a powerful way to reclaim focus, reduce overwhelm, and make more room for what matters most. Read along with the original article(s) here: http://www.budgetsaresexy.com/the-triad-of-hustling Quotes to ponder: "When deciding whether to do something, if you feel anything less than “Wow! That would be amazing! Absolutely! Hell yeah!” then say “no.”" "Three out of three, and you’ve found a DREAM hustle. Two out of three and it’s still pretty solid as not all projects can be dreams. One out of three and it’s probably time to reconsider or try switching things up." "We’re all busy. We’ve all taken on too much. Saying yes to less is the way out."
