Episode 2947

Amanda Wheeler reframes ROI as a powerful tool for evaluating how we invest our time, energy, and attention, not just our money. By treating daily choices like social media scrolling or skipping workouts as investments, she reveals how even small habits can generate big returns or long-term losses in our mental, emotional, and physical well-being.

Quotes to ponder:

"Negative ROI in small choices permeates into everything else. It doesn’t stay contained."

"Every choice we make has a return on investment. Very small amounts of time can reap largely negative or largely positive returns."

"I’ve never left a gym session feeling like I had a negative return on investment. It’s positive 100% of the time."
