Too often I hear people say the reason they want to get into leadership is the money. You will always be paid your worth to the company you work for, even if it's your own. The key is to understand that regardless of your title, finding something you are good at and can find passion in, will ultimately lead you down the path of the money you desire.

In previous videos we have talked about the importance of using data to Lead. Whether that is to make the case for more resources, for someone to get promoted/fired or to make a case for a pivot in strategy...Data is the key to unlocking the things you need.

Always remember to push yourself, but never forget to take care of yourself. The best way to do that is to make sure that you take time to rest and recover. These two things aren't talked about enough in today's culture (although it's getting better), they are an afterthought more often than not.

I am here today to remind you, that you can't pour from an empty bucket. I heard that on the Diary of a CEO Podcast and I never forgot it. So take time to take care of yourself.

I hope this was helpful! Thanks for being here! Take care!

After 7 episodes in a row of Time Management and talking through all the ways to build the perfect plan and schedule, all while being super effective. The reality is, that these are all incredible things to strive for and I would highly recommend pushing yourself to embrace these things as often as possible...but you also have to be realistic with what you can handle in a given day or week.

Now that we have covered the top 5 time management techniques, I wanted to wrap up this series by talking you through how I manage my own time on a daily basis. This will be as detailed as I can make it without giving away information I am not allowed to.

The last concept we are going to cover is the Pareto Principle (AKA the 80/20 rule). I don't remember when I first heard about it, but I do remember not quiet understanding the rule the first time I did. After listening to Ali Abdaal (https://www.youtube.com/@aliabdaal) and Jim Kwik (https://www.youtube.com/@JimKwik) talk about it more in-depth, I started to get a better understanding of it and how to put it into practice.

I came across Parkinson's Law fairly recently as I was diving into how to manage my own time on bigger picture passion projects for myself. I was finding myself continually putting off things that I was super passionate about. As I was exploring what might be happening or how I might be unintentionally sabotaging myself, I came across Parkinson's Law from a video by Ali Abdaal his channel is (https://www.youtube.com/@aliabdaal) .

The Time Management Matrix (AKA Eisenhower Matrix) is a time management method that uses a 4 quadrant matrix to help you understand the importance and urgency of a task. I remember reading about Stephen Covey's Time Management Matrix for the first time and thinking to myself, this doesn't make any sense to me.

Time Blocking is the next step in my Time Management/Productivity Journey and while I don't remember specifically where I first heard about it, it's hard not to find great content about it on YouTube.

The Pomodoro Technique was my first foray into the Time Management/Productivity space. I remember watching it on Thomas Frank's Channel (https://www.youtube.com/@Thomasfrank) many, many years ago.
