You have 24 hours in a day. And on average, you’ll probably sleep anywhere from 7-9 hours, 10 probably on weekends.
60 minutes in an hour, so if you remove the amount of time you spend sleeping, on avg im gonna say that probably is going to equate to about 1,000 minutes left (easy to remember) to make something happen every day.
You have 1,000 minutes, and you get to choose how you spend those minutes each day.
- Audit yourself every day
Some things that I find value in are making appointments on my calendar for work that I need to get done. If I have a contract to write or a meeting I need to prep for i put that on the calendar so it gets done and I dont get double booked. Fill your calendar with things you need to do and make people work around your schedule. If you value your time so will others. By doing this if you get something done early you can either start the next task ahead of time or take a littl3 break, scroll through IG and mot feel bad about it.
- Multi-task when you can
- I do these strategically, but during the day I can get away with multi-tasking and still be effective. IE I am constantly learning… When I run in the morning, instead of just listening to music, which occasionally I do because it helps me relax mentally or motivate me temporarily, but most of the time I am listening to Audiobooks, learning new concepts, new perspectives, and continuously challenging my knowledge.
- Meal Prep your lunches
- Saves you money
- Adds discipline to your diet, creating minimal room for cheating or becoming lazy with your diet.
- Don’t waste time driving to grab food or choose a poor meal option
- Meal prep on sundays for an hour saves you time
In addition to what cooper said other things thay you can do are clean while you cook, pick things up as you go.
If you are in a meeting where you don't have to be 100% involved answer emails.
I've told contractors thay im very busy and don't have time to attend all of their meetings. We comprised and when they need me they address my name to get my attention, I answer the question or provide feedback and them go back to doing whatever else I needed to do.
- You can wake up earlier
- I don’t wanna hear it, matter of fact, if you are OK with living a mediocre life, then go ahead and enjoy your beauty sleep. That’s OK with me, and that’s OK with all the rest of us working our ASS OFF waking up at 530-6am everyday working towards someday making our dreams our reality because look… I don’t know a single successful person that started with nothing and created something that didn’t wake up early PISSED OFF or FIRED UP to make/create something epic. Not a single one. They sacrifice sleep, maybe not every single day, but they go through the week with 5-7 hours of sleep and are accomplishing WAY MORE than someone that sleeps 8-9 hours a day. I can promise you that.
When I need to get something done the first thing that goes is sleep. Your goals are worth your time. I don't want to miss out on life to sleep. It is important but making memories and hitting goals is more important to me.
If you take anything from this, remember this:
YOU are the CEO of your own bank of time and YOU get to decide where that time gets spent.
Time is a commodity that you don’t get back. It is not like money you can’t make more of it.
Make each minute count,
We’re out.
MAKE TODAY COUNT.
