"People that would never think of committing suicide or ending their life would think nothing of dribbling their life away in useless minutes and hours every day."What separates winners from losers?
We all have
same 24-hours in a day, so why do some people always seem to accomplish more with
same amount of time?
Winners leverage every minute of every day in
most effective way possible. They make every minute count. They don't waste one minute on other people's urgencies or on
unimportant.
You are
best of
best. You reside in
achiever category at
top of
performance chain. How do I know that? Because only
best people,
top 10% of
population, want to better themselves and that is why you are reading this. (You'd be surprised at how many people want to get ahead, yet don't lift
proverbial finger to turn
page of a book to help reach their goals.)
In order to create time, you must shift your focus — from days and hours — to work. You need to leverage
hours that you do have and focus only on
actions that will yield exponential results.
Start by identifying
activities that you take part in on a daily or weekly basis that yield little or no long-term benefits.
Coach's Insight: For example,
average person working in a corporation, by eliminating coffee breaks or combining coffee breaks with meetings can create two full work-weeks in a year. Two full work-weeks!
Those eighty hours can be used to generate more income, spend more time with family, read a self-improvement book to gain additional peak performance results, go on a much needed vacation, or enhance your health with three hours of aerobic activity per week for half a year.
Here's how this calculates. Let's assume that
average person takes two 20-minute breaks a day. Over
course of a year, figuring on two weeks of vacation, that's 166 hours. That's more than four 40-hour work-weeks added to your year. You have just created an additional 166 hours of time in your year. Try
same calculation with lunch.
Does this mean that you never take time for yourself? Of course not, this is your time that you create. Who is benefiting from all that extra time you have gained? You are — in terms of increased income, enhanced relationships, or an extended lifespan due to better health.
