Quick take
That’s why time it’s worth so much.
Your time, my time, their time–we all get the same number of minutes per day.
Sure, you can outsource. You can look for shortcuts. You can hire folks. You can automate stuff. You can make chatGPT your best friend. You can even send ithe phonecall to voice mail.
Spend your time on things that matter:
- Say no to meetings,
- Find time for deep (uninterrupted) work every day,
- Avoid distractions,
- Do it consistently (the most difficult part).
So simple & easy concepts, yet so difficult to embrace.
You can’t prioritize projects & features effectively if you can’t prioritize your own time.
Keep a journal on how many hours you spend per day in unnecessary activities and you will be surprised by the amount of wasted time.
