In this episode of Positive Solutions 4 Life, Peggy Meyer explores a transformative idea from Dr. Benjamin Hardy and Blake Erickson’s book Time Is a Tool. What if time isn’t something that happens to you — but something you can use for you?

You’ll learn how to stop living life on repeat, break free from the habits of your past, and begin operating from your future self — today. Peggy walks through key insights from the book, including how to:

• Shift your mindset from working toward your goals to living from them now

• Understand “slow time” vs. “fast time” and why not all time is created equal

• Recognize how “time promotes or exposes you” through your daily choices

• Harness the power of deadlines for clarity and momentum

• Duplicate your time to multiply your impact

• Reframe your past as a tool for growth, not limitation

Peggy also shares practical reflection questions and challenges to help you live a more intentional, purpose-driven life where time becomes your ally, not your enemy.

1. Operate from your goal — Be your future self now.

2. Set bold deadlines — Deadlines create focus and urgency.

3. Duplicate your time — Leverage systems, people, and learning.

4. Reframe your past — Let it refine, not define, you.

5. Remember: Time will either promote you or expose you.

• What would your future self do right now?

• How much of your life is lived in deep time vs. shallow time?

• What’s one small decision today that will promote your future self?

Take one action this week your future self will thank you for.

Maybe it’s having that hard conversation, setting a bold deadline, or finally letting go of something that no longer serves you.
Time isn’t waiting — it’s shaping who you become. Use it as a tool, and start living from your future now.
