Existence will demonstrate to its users how to optimize their time.Â
Rob explained in Monday’s video that his success is a direct result of accounting for how he divvies his time.
‘When I started shooting the show I would shoot, you know, one show over like two or three hours. Then I got that all the way down to 25 minutes,’ he detailed.
He continued, ‘I used to shoot two episodes a day and I got to shooting 12 a day.’
The TV host attributed his efficiency to his commitment to a ‘time mastery goal.’
As a result, he said his ‘overall quality of life’ became ‘amazing.’
As the camera followed him into a production space, he announced, ‘This is the new studio that I am trading for the Ridiculousness studio.’
Rob stated, ‘As fate would have it, the week that my show ends and my run on MTV ends is the same week that I launch what I consider my magnum opus.’
