dramatically change your life.
I can remember the very moment I read Grove’s book. It hit me like a ton of
bricks.
For too long, I let my to-do list master me. “Sorry, I can’t make it home for
dinner because I still have that report to do.”
I never exercised, I skipped most meals, and then I would gorge on fast food.
My life was one dimensional, and even in that dimension (business), my around-
the-clock pace kept me down in the weeds instead of above the trees.
Super successful people don’t just burn hour after hour trying to cross more
items off their task list. Instead, they think through their priorities, schedule time
for each, and then enough is enough.
George Bush probably valued reading two books a week because it was a
way to relieve stress, get smarter, or was just plain fun. He knew that learning
and recharging are valuable tasks, and he wasn’t going to let them get blocked
out by “urgent” items.
Sheryl Sandberg clearly puts a high value on dinner with the family and
keeps it scheduled. Yes, she wants to maximize the success of Facebook, but the
“success” of her relationship with her children is even more important.
Richard Branson places a high value on fun and adventure and calendars it
accordingly. And he smartly crafts his adventures into brand building for Virgin.
