First, be ruthless about your calendar—stick to it, hell or high water but create
space for unstructured time as well. Second, forcing functions—use them to your
advantage to get things done. Have people show up for events on the calendar
that you have to be at—that force you to do certain things quickly. Work
expands to fill the time you give it. Third, take care of yourself—create space
and time in your calendar for things for you. You are 100x more productive
when you are well taken care of. My personal example: I work out before lunch
Monday through Friday. That’s my time. Fourth, never eat alone—you get huge
leverage from a strong network, build it out. Knowing the person who can get
you what you need and who is willing to help you will save you hours and hours
of time.

Balance in everything you do is key to successful time management! There are
only so many hours in a day, so you must prioritize what needs to be done each
day. Make a list weekly or daily of what must be done on certain days and what

tasks can wait til the next day. Check them off as you go. Checking off items on
your "To Do" list will help you visually keep track of your progress and give you
a needed sense of accomplishment. Time management does not only include
prioritizing business tasks, but also your health (time for exercising and eating),
time for a sufficient amount of sleep, and recreational time. Today there are
many mobile and online apps that can help you with time management and
scheduling such as Google Calendar and Wunderlist, however my favorite
remains the old-fashioned written planner. I also find that I am most productive
early in the morning or late at night, when it is really quiet. It allows for better
concentration—though some people do better concentrating in a place with
background noise. The fact of the matter is, you must find what works best for
you and stick with it.
