Time management is a myth.

Time management is a myth.

Time is one of the only commodities we cannot make more of.

We often say, “I don’t have time for that today.” But the reality is, “I choose not to give time to that item.” We have to reframe our thinking. How we spend our time is an investment, it is up to us to decide where we put our money.

Instead of bemoaning that there are never enough hours in the day, look inward at how you are using the hours you do have.

It is self-management, not time-management, that truly maximizes our time

Do more of the right things.

Do more of the right things.

Doing more of everything is not the answer. It is about doing more of the right things.

Look at your calendar and surgically dissect the difference between what you could do and the three to four things you must do—the three to four activities that put you on the path to where you want to go.

Saying yes to a few great things means saying no to a lot of good things.

We are all bound by the same 24 hours in the day.

In order to make the most of them, the goal is not to fill every waking moment with work, but rather to be more purposeful and intentional with the time we do spend.

Set up a winnable game.

Set up a winnable game.

Most of us underestimate what we can do in a year but overestimate what we can do in an hour.

We want to be able to say “I can get it done tomorrow”—but we have to be realistic about what is possible.

If we constantly give ourselves impossible deadlines, we will feel perpetually behind and frustrated.

Give yourself a long enough runway to gain the speed required to take off.

As a result, you will be more reliable and less stressed in your life because you are not stuck in a never-ending game of catch-up — you have allocated the proper amount of time for each item and can complete each task.
