TMS #073: 5 Time Management Secrets of Millionaires
Maximize Your Productivity for Success
Read time: 3 minutes
Hey there hustler,
You know the phrase "time is money," right? It's more than a cute quote on a coffee mug. It’s as real as it gets, especially when you're building your empire from scratch.
Time is your golden ticket. It's your ticket to success, wealth, and the life you’ve always dreamed about.
But... effective time management is not just checking off things on a to-do list. No, it's a whole other ball game. It's all about steering your precious time towards the stuff that lights up your entrepreneurial journey.
From Oprah Winfrey to Elon Musk, the millionaire league knows this secret. They learned, in every way possible, that time well managed means business well done.
So, let's dive into the deep end and find out how these millionaires do it.
Time Management Secret #1:
Prioritize Ruthlessly
First off, apply a ruthless prioritization strategy.
Yes, we all have 24 hours in a day. But millionaires like Oprah Winfrey and Elon Musk separate crucial tasks from the time-suckers.
What’s their strategy?
Categorize tasks into "urgent and important," "important but not urgent," "urgent but not important," and "neither urgent nor important."
Prioritize the "urgent and important" tasks first.
Say "no" when you need to. Remember, you can't do it all.
Take a leaf from their book. Start distinguishing between what matters and what seems to matter.
Time Management Secret #2:
Delegate, Delegate, Delegate
Second, delegate... but do it right.
Millionaires don't spend time on tasks they could delegate. Richard Branson is a perfect example. Important as it is, delegation does not mean dumping tasks on your team. It’s about identifying the best person for the job.
Not sure where to start? Use the DDD method:
Drop tasks that don’t bring value
Delegate what can be better done by others
Do the tasks that add unique value to your business
Delegate and watch your productivity soar.
Time Management Secret #3:
Automate Your Way
The third secret? Automation is your friend.
Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg use technologies to boost their time-management game. They use tools and automations to weed out tasks that would otherwise zap their time and energy.
Look out for how:
Project management apps help streamline work processes
Calendar tools assist in meeting schedules
Communication tools such as Slack or Teams maintain efficient communication
Spend time on what matters. Let tech handle the rest.
Time Management Secret #4:
Unplug for Success
Next up, disconnect. You got that right: Disconnect.
It sounds counter-intuitive, but Arianna Huffington, a self-proclaimed advocate for wellness, swears by this strategy. All work and no play doesn't make you productive. It makes you dull.
So make it a point to:
Schedule regular time to disconnect
Take that vacation you've been putting off
Choose activities that rejuvenate your mind and body
Unplug, recharge, and watch your creative juices soar.
Time Management Secret #5:
Embrace the Growth Mindset
Finally, embrace the growth mindset. It's all about seeing challenges as opportunities.
Take Jeff Bezos, who lives by his 'Day One' mindset. He highlights the power of staying curious, staying flexible, and always learning as a component of his success.
Remember to:
Stay open to new experiences
See challenges as learning opportunities
Embrace the unknown
As you build your empire, don't forget to build your growth mindset too.
