Creating an Extra Hour in your Day – Step 1

Creating an Extra Hour in your Day – Step 1
By Michael Erwin

How valuable would an extra hour every day be to you?
Ever found yourself saying, I will when I find the time or time got away from me? We’ll this is for you ☺

I am going to take you through the 7 steps that will create an extra hour a day for you.
So let’s go through the steps quickly. We will come back to each one over several newsletters.

The seven steps are:

  1. There is no such thing as time management – so what do we do?
  2. Time is for spending – what do you really want?
  3. Crossing that GAP – that is the gap between knowing what to do and doing it
  4. Ready aim fire – or should that be ready FIRE aim?
  5. 2 perspectives on time – what you do and what you think
  6. Sources of energy – more time is only useful if we have more energy
  7. Don’t mistake activity for achievement!

OK so let’s get in to it.

Step 1 – There’s no such thing as time management – so what do we do?
Does this mean all the courses and diary systems are no good? Not at all. But first there is a mind-shift you need to take.
Time is! It just is! 24 hours a day. 1400+ minutes every day.
Time management implies we manage time, BUT time can’t be managed!
The key to creating an extra hour a day is changing your mindset to SELF-MANAGEMENT!
What is self-management? Mark Victor Hansen in the book One Minute Millionaire says it is “accepting responsibility and not laying blame.” I suggest it is about moving closer to your true goals, every day.
Step 1 Not time management but self management. Stay tuned for Step 2 in the next newsletter!

Actions: Do at least 1, preferably 3 of these actions in the next 24 hours.

  • Track your time for at least 1 full week..
  • Create an ideal week. Define what happens when in your ideal week.
  • Clarify your goals and values. Are you really clear about what they are and why you want them?

You can email me Michael@timecreationcoaching.com.au for a simple time tracking process and sheet, an ideal week template and a values clarification form. Have a great day ☺
