The wealthiest people have a secret.

They don't work harder than everyone else.

They just manage their time in unexpected ways.

I used to be constantly overwhelmed,

never making any real progress and trying to work harder than everyone else just to get ahead until I realized

that I didn't need more time.

I needed to manage my time better.

And once I did, I made so much money and literally built my dream life.

So if you wanna do the same,

these are the six unexpected ways to manage your time.

First up is a principle that successful people live by they aren't available to everyone.

If you're always available to everyone,

no one will ever respect you.

And this was a hard one for me because I used to be available to everyone 24-7.

People had my phone number,

my email, and I would encourage people that I worked with to reach out to me at any time.

But the problem was that people actually did reach out to me anytime and all the time.

So much so

that I ended up having no time to work on what

I needed to do in order to move the business forward

and i think part of this

that isn't really talked about is it almost feels a little

bit shameful not to be approachable to your team like i would actually feel bad

if i wasn't giving them the time that they needed

so i just allowed myself to be available and make sure

that everybody knew i was there for them

but i had to change my approach the moment that i realized

that if the people in your environment can't make things work

when you're unavailable they probably were the wrong person to begin with

and if you own a business or manage other people in your current role,

being constantly accessible is actually one of the biggest leadership traps.

Harvard research shows that professionals who guard their time are viewed as more effective and high value.

So just remember that.

If you're always reachable, you're a responder.

If you have boundaries, you are a leader.

And the top CEOs protect their time because scarcity creates value.

So starting tomorrow,

go relook at how you respond batch your emails your return

phone calls your messages into just a couple of windows instead

of constantly checking I like the cadence of the middle of the morning

and the end of the day I'm not a huge fan of checking my emails first thing in the morning

because it sets you down a different path

but mid-morning allows me to work on the most important things first

and then later in the day allows me to get all the emails

that have piled up here's the thing remember every person does not deserve immediate access to you.

I guarantee that when you create space with the other people who depend on you,

they will actually start solving their own problems.

So protect your time by being less available and fill that time up with the things that you need to do.

Next is number two.

Successful people set up their strategy at the start of the week.

There's a reason why you're always overwhelmed on Monday and the good news is you can change that.

If you're always reacting in the day or the moment to the latest problem,

you will end up losing entire control of your week.

So every Sunday night, try setting up your own game day strategy.

List out all of the priorities for the week.

Think about your week in quarters.

Every single day has a very specific purpose.

What has to happen on Monday for you to know that by the end of the day on Friday,

you are successful?

What about Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday?

The more you think about your week like a game and

that you need to move into having confidence that you are going to win every single week,

the more intentional you're going to be about the way you spend your time.

This means that Monday can't just be you firefighting,

Tuesday having meetings, to Wednesday being able to do deep work.

It won't get you to where you're trying to go.

And once you have these priorities,

everything else doesn't get done.

When you decide to play before the game starts,

you stop reacting and start using your time effectively.

Next is number three.

If you want to be more productive,

you need to stop treating your health like it's optional.

I don't find time for my health.

I make it an active part of my day.

I don't schedule workouts in the evening hoping to make them happen,

but maybe allowing the door to be open if a dinner pops up or something more important is going to take place.

I schedule the workouts first thing in the morning to get them done

because it's my job to be in peak state and peak condition and to feel good about myself.

The most successful people know this.

If you don't feel good about yourself,

how helpful are you going to be to your team?

If you don't do the things that you say that you're going to do,

how confident or you're going to show up to a meeting that matters.

There's a lot of limiting beliefs about people who are successful and trading off their health for their success.

But let me shoot this to you straight.

You can have both.

It is not one or the other.

In fact, your health, if you truly do prioritize it and use it as your foundation,

amplifies what you're able to do every day.

I had to cut out drinking Diet Coke.

I cut out caffeine.

I cut out gluten.

I cut out dairy.

I started working out three to four times a week and I sleep eight hours every single night.

And what this has reminded me of is I don't need to squeeze more in the day.

I need to prioritize my sleep.

I need to prioritize eating right.

And I need to make those things happen because it creates a better outcome in the workplace.

100

It is not a detractor from the workplace.

101

I refuse to use being too busy at work as the reason to let myself go in all those areas.

102

And the big unlock of managing your personal time

103

and your priorities with your work is to understand

104

that your health isn't optional when your job requires you to be in a peak state.

105

High performers, they don't squeeze in their life after work.

106

They build their life to include the components that are important.

107

Health being one of the main ones.

108

They know that being exhausted and feeling like shit leads to bad decisions.

109

And this costs way more than the hour that you saved by skipping the workout.

110

So schedule it.

111

Schedule your movement.

112

Schedule your workout.

113

Schedule your sleep.

114

Schedule your eating time populate those things in your calendar

115

and then protect those times like business meetings block your workout

116

in the morning set a bedtime alarm for 9 30 my

117

phone goes to sleep every single night at 9 30 alongside me

118

and that allows me to get up at 5 30

119

so I get a solid seven to eight hours of sleep every single night

120

when you think about your food how do you take the

121

randomity out of not knowing what to eat every single day you can batch meal prep

122

or you can know exactly where you're order food from,

123

but you have to have a game plan.

124

And the little time that it takes to plan these things has a disproportionate effect on your ability to actually do them.

125

I guarantee that when your health is stable, everything else runs better.

126

Your energy, your focus, your patience with your team,

127

your decision-making, and high-pressure moments.

128

Health shouldn't come last.

129

It's the foundation.

130

Next up is number four.

131

Successful people treat their calendar like an asset, not a suggestion.

132

If you're constantly busy but never making any real progress,

133

let's be honest, it's because you're letting other people spend your time like it's their time.

134

And I used to get stuck in this all the time.

135

So I really do understand why this is such a hard thing to get out of.

136

The perfect example of this,

137

and I'm a little embarrassed to say how recent this was

138

is me with my inbox i used to spend hours a day in my inbox

139

and my mindset around this that was so broken was that

140

if my team members had something

141

that they needed me to see i had to review every single detail i couldn't let something go out there

142

that i didn't approve and i didn't review because what

143

if they did it wrong and i always find things and

144

so i would just get mired stuck to my email

145

and not able to do more networking events

146

or feel the weight of having to come home early from networking events

147

so that I could respond to all of these incoming messages.

148

So about six months ago,

149

I told my team that I don't want to spend any more than 15 minutes a day going through my emails.

150

So my team has actively had to change the communication around

151

me to be able to get me down to where I'm actually only spending 15 minutes a day in my inbox.

152

And since then, my time has freed up and I can actually spend more time writing LinkedIn posts,

153

creating more content, working on my new podcast.

154

I just went to Paris last week

155

and had time to talk to people without having this worry that I was missing something.

156

And I came across a study from the Harvard Business School where they analyzed 27 executives

157

and found that the top performers spend about 43% of their time on pre-planned strategic moves

158

while the rest of the world spends their day in reactive mode,

159

answering emails, slack pings, and all of the ad hoc requests.

160

So let's talk about this week.

161

Look at your calendar as if it is your own money visualized.

162

Look at every meeting, every commitment,

163

every time block, and ask,

164

if this time was money,

165

would I spend it here?

166

Maybe it's a daily stand-up call that could actually be an email.

167

Maybe it's a lunch meeting where it never leads anywhere.

168

When you identify those things that are wasting your time as if they are wasting your money,

169

you either delegate them or delete them entirely.

170

Anything that doesn't actually earn what you are investing,

171

you'll find at least five to 10 hours that you're wasting on things that don't move your goals forward.

172

Now we're on to number five.

173

Successful people review and adjust.

174

They don't just grind.

175

You have to stop repeating the same unproductive week over and over,

176

wondering why nothing changes.

177

To understand this, just like we talked about previously,

178

think of a football game.

179

You've started with the game plan but by the third quarter

180

or nearing the end of your week

181

if your strategy isn't working you'd have to adjust you don't keep running the same play

182

and the same play and the same play

183

and failing your schedule works the same way

184

when you set your schedule there will be problems

185

that come up there will be priorities that have shifted

186

or there will be quote-unquote fires at work and

187

so the more you can in real time adjust not to be reactive

188

but to ensure

189

that the priorities are still being met the more you're actually going to be able to create the growth you want.

190

I mentioned earlier the weekly review that happens on Sundays,

191

but at the end of every day,

192

I also do a review that makes me twice as productive.

193

I review the day I just had and I adjust my plan for the next day.

194

A Harvard Business School study found

195

that workers who spent just 15 minutes at the end of

196

each day reflecting on what they learned performed 23% better after just 10 days.

197

So just taking a few minutes to review your day actually gets you better results the next day.

198

And the cost of not doing this is repeating the same mistakes

199

and wondering why you're stuck in the same place six months from now.

200

So at the end of each day,

201

block out 15 minutes to reflect on what you actually learned or did that day and then look at tomorrow.

202

And when you do this,

203

ask yourself, what worked today?

204

What didn't work?

205

And what am I going to move around tomorrow to make sure that I have a phenomenally successful day?

206

Maybe you've discovered that morning deep work sessions are when you're sharpest.

207

Maybe you realize that back-to-back meetings kill your focus.

208

Maybe you found that responding to Slack immediately derails your momentum.

209

Write it down, then apply those lessons tomorrow.

210

That's how you consistently review and adjust to make sure your tomorrow is always better than today.

211

Lastly, Number six, successful people protect their deep work time.

212

If you're struggling with your focus,

213

your attention, or getting all of the things on your list done every single day,

214

you should mute your notifications during deep work time.

215

For me, this looks like showing up in the morning and having a book,

216

an article, or a whole research project that I need to do with ChatGPT.

217

And during that time, I don't want any distractions.

218

I don't want my husband talking to me.

219

I don't want a text coming through and

220

so i immediately put my phone on do not disturb

221

but what ends up happening when i'm not disciplined about this

222

or when i'm feeling mentally lazy is i'm working through this problem it's like coming together it's unraveling

223

and i'm figuring things out

224

and then all of a sudden i have this urge to check my email

225

or to check instagram but instead of allowing myself to do

226

that i stop myself because there have been

227

so many times in the past where i didn't stop myself

228

and i had this protected time for let's say two hours

229

and for the first 30 minutes i was doing a great job of getting really into the problem

230

but then i allowed myself to get derailed

231

and all of a sudden the 90 minutes

232

that i had protected turned into me randomly researching some ex-best friend's daughter

233

that i once knew and seeing how much she's grown up and now i'm totally distracted So for me,

234

I always block deep work time in my calendar in the morning because that is when I'm the most rested,

235

I'm excited, and I'm focused.

236

And I know that nothing can touch that time.

237

And this deep work looks like spending time reading,

238

doing projects that I know are going to get me to the goals that I have,

239

career goals, business goals, all the things.

240

And most people really struggle with deep work because they get interrupted.

241

They put it at a time when they know that people are going to come into their office,

242

talk to them, which entirely defeats the purpose of deep work.

243

I read something yesterday from the University of California that blew my mind.

244

Once people are interrupted, it takes an average of 23 minutes and 15 seconds to return to their original task.

245

That means if you're getting interrupted even just a few times during your deep work time,

246

you're losing 23 minutes.

247

So deep work isn't something that you just squeeze into leftover time.

248

It should be first, it should be scheduled,

249

or it will never happen.

250

Remember, the most successful people don't get paid to be busy.

251

They get paid to think, to decide, to create.

252

But most people treat deep work like a nice to have instead of the actual job.

253

So tomorrow morning, block one sacred window for deep work before you check your email,

254

before you have any calls, or do any messages.

255

Make it a 90-minute walk.

256

Maybe it's from 6am to 7.30 before anyone's awake.

257

Maybe it's 9am to 10.30 after your first cup of coffee.

258

During this time, avoid any interruptions by turning off all of your notifications,

259

close Slack, put your phone in another room,

260

shut down your inbox, and protect this time like your goals depend on it.

261

Because they do.

262

If you apply one of these,

263

you'll immediately buy back hours in your week that you can now redirect towards money,

264

towards impact, and ideally towards the light that you want.
