A brief history of time
"A Brief History of Time": No, this is not Stephen W. Hawking's remarkable book (which is said to be the book with the greatest discrepancy between sales and reading), but something much simpler:
Your time is limited, and you can not multiply it!
What does this mean according to the laws of economics? Correct: Time is valuable. More valuable than anything else that we can multiply, like money, for instance.
And here is the bummer: We have all the same amount of time available: exactly 24 hours a day.
The only difference between the people and their success is what they put into this time to produce results.
Now you may think: that's all very profane! And you’re right: It is! However, as in the book quoted at the outset, there is a huge discrepancy between understanding and implementation. So, here are some ideas about "time pirates" and "time wizards":
Time pirates (they steal productive time):
- TV
- Newspapers
- Meetings
- Internet
- Most phone calls
- Working without goals
- Many colleagues at work
- Low mental energy
- Distraction
Time Wizards (they increase productive time):
- Good books / audiobooks
- Video and audio courses
- Good seminars and workshops
- Work on the topics that accelerate your growth
- Talks with interesting people
- Clear goals at the beginning of each day
- High mental energy
- Clear mission
- Focus
- Momentum
Please expand these lists according to your own experiences. Then, use 80% of your time with “time-increasing" activities. Simple, right?
