“Actually, highly successful people don’t think about time much at all. Instead, they think about values, priorities and consistent habits.” – Kevin Kruse. Billionaire entrepreneurs seem to accomplish more in a single day than most people do in few days to weeks. Everyone has only 24 hours in a day but how can they be so productive?
Create a morning routine
The early bird catches the worm. Undeniably there are models and researches prove there might be truths to the old adage. Early risers used to start their day really early, such as Apple’s Tim Cook, Starbucks’s Howard Schultz & Amazon’s Jeff Bezos.
Eliminating meeting
Billionaire Entrepreneur Mark Cuban, the owner of the Dallas Mavericks NBA team, advises, ‘never do meetings unless someone is writing a check.’. Only schedule necessary meeting to save everyone wasted time. It is suggested to use a brief daily huddle as a more efficient, informative and reconciling way to get your team moving.
Prioritise time management
Our time is limited but tasks are endless. Prioritisation varies for businesses and is shaped around deadlines, the importance of execution and outcome. The key is not to prioritise what are in your schedule but to schedule your priorities.
Gamify to-do-list
Jack Groetzinger, the CEO of SeatGeek, enjoys ‘gamifying’ his to-do-list. “I have an estimated number of minutes for all tasks and have written software to record when I begin and end each item. Each day, I challenge myself to hit an efficiency goal: the number of actual minutes divided by expected minutes. The best part of playing a game by myself is that I have every spot on the leaderboard.”
Reasonably staff-up
Some entrepreneurs love to do everything by themselves. But this is not just stressful but incredibly time consuming. Filling the right talents to the right positions allows you to focus on your professional and priorities. So let’s think about personal assistant, driver or nanny if you find your time becomes more valuable.
Create a long-term roadmap
This is effective to keep you focus better on your company development and whether the tasks are in line with your objectives. It is critical to manage both day-to-day activities that are necessary for sustainability and long term goals that gain momentum later in time.
