www.davidmeermanscott.com According to Nielsen, the average American
spends 158 hours each month watching television(!!). That's 1,896 hours per
year. Damn. That would be enough time to write an awesome book or start a
company. You want a six-pack? Exercise instead of watch TV. Eliminate
television and you gain nearly two thousand hours a year. Imagine what YOU
could do?!

www.jerrodsessler.com Time management is merely a result of living our
priorities. We demonstrate our priorities in the ways that we invest our time. If
you do not agree with yourself then change how you are investing and enjoy the
results. The alternative is to get better, faster and to buy every manner of tool
and app to make you more efficient. I suggest doing all that but also having a
stoic focus on priorities to maximize the effort building the life you really want.

www.veeroll.com Here’s what works great for me…First, I figure out what my
definite chief aim in life is for the moment - this is normally in the form a project
(limited in time) that I am super passionate about. Then, I figure out the MAIN
priority to make this project a reality and a success. I do my best to JUST focus
on this ONE MAIN priority at any given time, until it’s complete…and then
move onto the next priority on the list. To help me stay focussed, I use things
like Trello to collect and manage all my to do lists related to this main project.

And I also use a physical egg timer to help me stay focussed on any given task
for the day. For 45 minutes, I would work on the main priority, and then for
15 minutes, I would either take a total clean break, or clear some emails or
messages, depending on my energy level. If necessary, I would dedicate some 45
minute slots to clearing emails, messages and admin… but still try and keep
them as focussed as possible on my main project. I also constantly look for
building a team to help relieve me and my business of our biggest bottlenecks in
getting to our goals.
