In this episode, we explore the illusion of "not having enough time" and how to master time management for greater success. Key insights from the discussion: 

Time is Not the Problem 

  • Unless you're on your deathbed, time isn't the real issue
  • The true challenges are: 
    1. Priority management
    2. Energy management
    3. Time management structure

High Performers' Time Focus

  • Successful CEOs spend: 
    • 80% of time thinking about the future
    • 15% dealing with present challenges
    • 5% reflecting on the past


The Time Management Matrix (Stephen Covey's Model)
Four quadrants to prioritize tasks:

  1. Urgent & Important (Crisis mode)
  2. Not Urgent but Important (Growth activities)
  3. Urgent but Not Important (Daily tasks)
  4. Not Urgent & Not Important (Distractions)


Practical Tips

  • For an 8-hour workday, only plan 5 hours of structured work
  • Leave 2.5 hours for unexpected tasks and interruptions
  • Use the last 30 minutes to plan for tomorrow
  • Stop saying "I don't have time" and start saying "It's not a priority" to better understand your choices

The key to mastering time is understanding that it's about energy management and proper prioritization rather than trying to squeeze more into each day.
