Why do your 1,000 daily minutes decide what your life looks like after prison?
Description
In this episode, I dive into what Michael Santos taught me about the quadrant theory and how it shaped my prison adjustment. He broke down every day into 1,440 minutes—about 1,000 after sleep—and made me see how each of those minutes mattered. I explain the four quadrants—high risk/low reward, low risk/low reward, high risk/high reward, low risk/high reward—and how every decision in prison fits into one of them. I share why documenting your journey is high risk but high reward, why reading with purpose is low risk but high reward, and why wasting time with endless laps or TV is just low reward. The key lesson is that if you don’t use your thousand minutes deliberately, they vanish, and you’re left with regret.
