If you’re like most people you go through your days never having enough time, always playing “catch up” and wondering what you can do differently to get things done, right? If this is you, then you’re going to love this podcast episode because getting everything done that you need to is not about managing your time, it’s about prioritizing your commitments and values. When you know what you value most and what you’re committed to, it’s then easy to understand how you need to prioritize your time. If you don’t know what you’re committed to you don’t know how you’re choosing and when you don’t know how you’re choosing you’re mismanaging your time.
Actually, the reason most people never have enough time is because they manage their day by time, and when you manage your day by time, you’ll never have enough time. Look at your own life and you’ll probably find that to be true. If you want to “catch up” and be productive and get things done then you must start managing your time by commitments and values.
In this episode I discuss:
- [1:30] Managing your time is no longer about the clock
- [3:25] Whenever you manage your time by time or circumstance, you will never have enough time
- [8:26] Prioritize your time, energy, and effort to get you to bigger long-term rewards, than chasing your tail every single day
- [9:26] What am I committed to? Whatever you are committed to is what you want to prioritize
- [13:57] If you don’t know what you are committed to, you don’t know how you’re choosing, then you do not know how you are investing or squandering your time
- [15:30] Whatever you’re in the habit of, is how you invest your time
- [30:30] What am I committed to and who do I have to BE to make it happen
