How to Be Happy Every Single Minute of Every Day

August 1, 2025 | Episode 5150

Host: Scott Smith

Episode Description

Want to be happy most of the time instead of waiting until retirement? Scott shares two powerful tools that changed everything for him: the radio format clock strategy and his six passion zones system. You'll discover how balancing your day with activities you actually enjoy can transform your life from the inside out. No more waiting for "someday" – it's time to live the life you want right now.

Featured Story

Scott takes you behind the scenes of his early radio DJ days when his boss taught him about format clocks – those colorful pie charts that kept listeners happy by mixing songs they loved with new discoveries. This simple concept became the blueprint for how Scott structures his entire life. From playing the hits to introducing fresh content, the format clock isn't just about music – it's about creating a life rhythm that keeps you energized and engaged every single day.

Important Points

Balance your day with activities you genuinely enjoy, and happiness becomes your natural state instead of something you chase.

The six passion zones (personal, purposeful, connection, spiritual, abundance, and legacy) give you categories to ensure you're touching on what matters most.

You don't need to hit every passion zone daily – just touching one thing from each zone regularly will keep you satisfied and prevent time for activities that drain you.

Memorable Quotes

"If I did things I like to do most of the day, most days, I'd probably be happy most days."

"If you spend time doing the things you'd like to do that serve you, you're not going to have time to do the stuff you don't like to do."

"Most people wait until they retire to do it. I got it when I was like 18."

Scott's Three-Step Approach

Create your own "format clock" by visualizing your perfect day and slotting in activities you love alongside necessary tasks.

Identify your passion zones by writing down categories of things that energize you, then list specific activities within each zone.

Touch on at least one activity from your passion zones daily – you'll naturally crowd out the stuff that drains your energy.
