Everyone has the same number of hours a day, but some of us achieve more than anyone else in these 24 hours. It is whether they have special time management techniques, or they are “super” humans with a secret we don’t know!
The key is both of these possibilities: They understand the time management benefits and they have a secret of not letting anything distract them!
We can’t deny that many times we end up complaining about the day not having enough hours because we need to get to work, do chores, eat, sleep for 8 hours, go out, have a personal life, grocery shopping, meet our friends, have quality time with our partners, and many more… how can we manage all this in one day?
Let’s be honest, to create a schedule is simple, but to stick to it is hard…
#1 – Start your day early
You can do a quick online search about the time successful people start their day, and you will find that the majority of them would choose to be up at the crack of dawn in order to take full advantage of the day!
• The CEO of Apple Tim Cook wakes up daily at 5 AM.
• The Vogue editor Anna Wintour plays tennis before she goes to the office; she wakes up at 5: 45 AM.
• Oprah runs on the treadmill and meditates before going to the studio; she wakes up at 6 AM.
PS: exercise is an important part of every successful person’s life.
#2 – Set your priorities and goals
The best time management tool is to set all of your priorities and goals for the day, it is how to determine the course of the day and make productive progress toward your goals. Successful people can tell the difference between important and urgent matters, so they tackle them both and then leave the rest of the menial tasks for later.
