One of the key secrets that separate the most successful entrepreneurs from the rest is how they take charge of their day.
It's vital to understand that time management is a common convenient misnomer.
Nobody can actually manage time – like money it has a mind of its own.
However, you can manage your allocation of it and, more so, the ways in which it is consumed or stolen by activities and by other people.
We can manage access, rules of engagement and choices.
There is no such thing as secret software or secret sauce that you’re going to find behind any exceptionally productive person.
They all pretty much do the same three things:
- Place themselves in environments conducive to productivity
- Severely restrict distraction and interference
- Hold themselves accountable for getting chosen things done within predetermined time slots
Most people do none of these three things.
Some at different times manage one or two out of these.
The problem is they often try to over-complicate things.
