A Message From Trevor Lohrbeeer:

Hi! My name is Trevor Lohrbeer.

I created Day Optimizer to help people gain more control of their time. During a group call with members of my Strategic Life Tools web site, people expressed that they struggled to find the time to do proper planning.

For the past few years, I had been occasionally using a process to create more time in my day. The process helped me convert my task list into an effective daily schedule. To help others, I developed an Excel spreadsheet to guide people through the process.

With the spreadsheet created, I started using the process almost every day and noticed how it helped me increase my focus and manage my priorities. It wasn’t long before I wanted more features and decided to focus on Day Optimizer full-time.

Day Optimizer is now both my day job and the tool I use to manage my time each day. I’m working to make it the best application for helping you plan an effective day—keeping you in control and ensuring you get your key goals accomplished.

If you have any questions about the app, please https://dayoptimizer.com/contact (reach out) and let me know.

In the meantime, I hope you https://my.dayoptimizer.com/register (give Day Optimizer a try) and that it becomes as effective of a tool for you to manage your day as it has for me.

Episode Highlights:

Trevor and Zack discuss about how easy it is to keep others accountable as opposed to keeping yourself accountable.

Learn how to lean out the decision making process.

Trevor breaks down the value of “conveyor-belt” decisions.

To make good decisions, you have to optimize your daily schedule and foundational mindset.
