Time Management Analysis (TMA) is a personal assessment that measures time management behaviors using 20 questions. This easy, yet compelling evaluation, describes four basic labels of Time Talented, Time Inclusive, Time Missing, and Time Expand. Participants receive a personalized report that helps set the stage for updating or creating a formal time management plan. A Time Talented person demonstrates that time management is deeply ingrained in their daily approach. A Time Inclusive person includes time management in their business and personal life with occasions to bring in more structure. A Time Missing person knows the importance of time management but misses opportunities to implement in their everyday lives. A Time Expand person can benefit by expanding time management structure into their routine.

Is wisdom a waste of time? Then I applied myself to the understanding of wisdom, and also of madness and folly, but I learned that this, too, is a chasing after the wind. Ecclesiastes 1:17 Wisdom minus any action is a chasing after the wind. Wisdom without sharing is a chasing after the wind. Wisdom for selfishness is a chasing after the wind. Let wisdom be tangible.

But as automation grows, advisors are facing a new kind of competition—not just other humans, but algorithms. 🔍 The real question: Where does that leave financial professionals? ➡️ It leaves you in the one space AI can’t touch: emotional intelligence. In a recent article for Rethinking65, I explore why advisors must become “thinking partners,” not just money managers. Lifestyle planning, identity shifts, grief, purpose—these are human conversations that dashboards can’t deliver. ✅ Embrace the machine. ✅ Provide the emotional intelligence it lacks. ✅ Focus on Return on Experience (ROE), not just ROI. 📖 "Why Robo-Advisors Will Never Replace Emotional Intelligence" 𝐇𝐞𝐥𝐩 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐧𝐮𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐬.

🏃 Ever see someone retire, then jump back into work? 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐜𝐞. It’s not always about money. More often, it’s because they didn’t know what else to do. Work was their identity—and without a plan, they needed it back. Working in retirement is great—if it’s a choice, not a reflex. Think ahead. Make your next chapter intentional.
