If you want to manage your time like the top 1%,

you need to stop following the same old productivity advice and start using a system that rewires your brain.

As a CEO, board member, and investor at some of the fastest growing companies, my life was a firefight for years.

Every second mattered.

I had to make time for what drives results, cut distractions, and stay in control when things got chaotic.

Today, I'll share a simple system I used.

Borrow what works for you so you can make time for what matters to you.

But before you apply this system, there's one question that can help you cut through the avalanche of online advice.

Everyone has the same 160 hours per week, right?

Why do the top performers get dramatically more done without burning out?

Jack Dorsey can run

Twitter and Square simultaneously.

In the same week you and I have, Elon Musk runs more than two companies.

Same number of hours.

These CEOs don't manage time.

They manage their attention.

If you just focus on the tactics of managing time, like batching and prioritizing and time blocking, that's great.

But you will still miss the big picture.

It's about applying what I call the 3 -2 -1 system.

Here's how to do it.

The first part of the system is the three roles.

Most people fail at productivity because they're playing the wrong game for their level.

Taylor Swift is a perfect example.

In the early days, she wrote songs and she recorded songs.

Today, she has to write, produce, record, perform, make music videos, run business operations, do philanthropy,

manage brand partnerships, all of it while managing a global tour schedule.

The time management system that worked for her early on would kill her productivity completely today

because her game has changed and her role has changed.

How she manages her time has to be completely reinvented.

Marshall Goldsmith says the right thing.

What got you here won't get you there.

Habits that tend to work in simple phases of life actively harm you

when you graduate to a role that demands complex responsibilities.

That's what CEOs learn the hard way.

If you want to manage your time like the 1 % elites, you have to understand the role you're playing right now.

And there are three roles.

Maker, marker, multiplier.

First, maker.

This is relevant when you're juggling handful of priorities or if you're an individual contributor.

Your role mostly requires that you do everything yourself.

Stay in late, stay in your lane, heads down, deep work, details, diligence.

You have clear deliverables, clear timelines.

Your time management has to build with that role in mind.

Now, there are tons of folks I know around the world who love staying in

that role throughout their entire career in tech, in finance, in pharma, research, several other verticals.

And it's a totally acceptable path for time management and career management if that's what lights you up.

But then some of you will want to graduate from maker to marker role.

Now you have to manage 10 to 20 priorities in life all at once.

You start managing a team.

Maybe you have a life partner or a family.

So in this phase, you can't touch every single thing on your own every single time.

And you shouldn't.

Think of it this way.

You are transitioning from the maker to the marker mode.

Everybody else in your team will produce research, code, business plans, whatever they're working on.

But you are the marker.

You're the editor.

You give feedback.

You give comments to refine their work.

You don't take their work and start rewriting.

You build processes that automate everything.

You're doing and you're also delegating.

That's the mix.

The challenge in this phase is to understand what you can delegate and where you have to invest your own time.

Anything that's mission critical to your project or your company or your brand, that's where you need to be totally hands -on.

And from there, you graduate to the third role, the multiplier role.

That's when you have 30, 40, 50 responsibilities.

You're managing a very large team.

In this phase, you have to become what

Eric Schmidt calls the most expensive router

because your job is not to create your job is not to review what other people create.

Your job is to recruit, orchestrate, and align your team.

You focus on connecting people.

You make strategic bets.

You route requests from one corner to the other corner of your team.

You have to stop obsessing over every little detail and focus on the big picture.

Taylor Swift, again, is a great example.

Her early career was about being a maker.

Today, she's a maker in music, but she's a multiplier across the rest of her life.

The core insight here is that if you don't know what role you're playing, you'll manage your time the wrong way.

Delegating when you're a maker and micromanaging when you're a multiplier are both recipes for failure.

You, of course, have to come up with tricks and techniques to manage your time better, but only after you know what role you're in.

Otherwise, your calendar will fill fast with the wrong things and you won't get anything done.

Or, more alarmingly, no one around you will get anything done either.

But the way you manage your attention is not just about the role you play.

It's also about which zone you're in.

The second part of the system is about two zones.

Airbnb's founder almost killed the company by following textbook time management advice.

So from 2016 to 2020, Airbnb's founder, Brian Chesky, did what every business school,

every business book, and every VC will tell you to do hire great people and get out of their way.

Let them do their magic.

Nothing wrong with that advice because when he was doing that, the business was growing.

Brian was enjoying the multiplier role.

But around year 2020, Airbnb's growth started slowing down.

Costs started exploding.

COVID had changed the dynamics of every business, including Airbnb.

Chesky had to make a difficult decision step in, get his hands back on the wheel, and steer the ship through the icebergs.

He removed layers of leadership to make the company lean and flat.

He got deeply involved in product, in every critical decision, every important detail.

100

And the result?

101

The company delivered over 500 product improvements in just three years.

102

Airbnb went back to being a profitable company.

103

That's how the zones affect your time management and your priorities.

104

There are two zones, wartime and peacetime.

105

When Airbnb was collapsing, that was wartime.

106

That's when you have to roll up your sleeves and get in there.

107

Once the company stabilizes, step back again, become a multiplier.

108

The key insight is that your zone dictates your role.

109

War time zone can force you to move from a multiplier to a marker or from a marker to a maker.

110

Your system has to be this dynamic.

111

You've got to know which zone you're in and act accordingly.

112

When you're building a startup or when you're in a tough market or swimming in the red ocean with sharks, it's war time.

113

And when you're in war time, all bets are off.

114

But even if you master your role and your zone.

115

There is one final piece that separates the top 1 % from everyone else.

116

The third and final piece of the system is the one non -negotiable.

117

I've seen many CEOs struggle with this until one brutal question changes everything.

118

When I served as the CEO of our AI company a few years ago, I had a great team,

119

the timing was great, and we had a great product.

120

So we were one of the top 20 fastest growing tech companies in the US, according to Deloitte Fast 500.

121

And we were absolutely in war time zone.

122

Every day was just plain chaos.

123

And every night I would stay up wondering if we can hire the right people fast enough,

124

whether our customers were delighted to have us as their partners.

125

And then I started realizing that I was becoming a bottleneck in every decision.

126

I had to ask myself that one question.

127

What is the one thing that only I can do?

128

That one thing I should focus on while I delegate everything else.

129

And I thought about it and I realized that we were growing because of our mission.

130

If I could focus on building relationships with our people and with our customers,

131

then I could articulate our mission even more clearly.

132

I focused on that one thing, relationships.

133

On recruiting, on culture, on internal communication,

134

on customer partnership, every touch point that helped me build the relationships.

135

The rest of it, I delegated.

136

I still had daily stand -ups with our C -level team.

137

We had our weekly leadership meeting, product meetings.

138

tech meetings, finance meetings.

139

That's the operating rhythm of the company and you need that to build the execution muscle.

140

But for me personally, my proactive focus was on that one thing that I couldn't delegate,

141

which was building mission -driven relationships.

142

Now, I'm not sharing this to show off or anything, but to showcase how you can put your CEO hat on.

143

Your three -two -one system is about three roles, two zones, one non -negotiable.

144

You have identified your one non -negotiable, but how do you actually delegate everything else without it all falling apart?

145

The best leaders don't manage time, they manage trust.

146

Steve Jobs and Johnny Ive are the gold standard when it comes to this.

147

Johnny Ive was the chief design leader at Apple and he designed iPod and iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch.

148

These were complex tasks, right?

149

The designs had to be tasteful, but they had to keep in mind the cost.

150

Cost of manufacturing, cost of supply chain, all of that.

151

So Steve Jobs and Johnny would meet every day for lunch, and then they could go for a walk,

152

and they would talk about business, design, aesthetics, art.

153

Steve would ask deep questions.

154

He would review everything.

155

Every detail mattered to him.

156

But here's the thing.

157

Johnny never felt micromanaged.

158

Why?

159

Because Steve Jobs was there as a partner, not as a boss.

160

He was in the details to learn everything, not to control everything.

161

And that's what most people miss when they move from doing to delegating.

162

Because leading is not about time management, it's about trust management.

163

You review things, but to coach.

164

You connect, but to provide context.

165

You step in, but to unblock others.

166

So your time management, outside of your own deep work, is spent on developing and managing trust.

167

And how do you find the right rhythm for delegation?

168

It depends on three things.

169

If your teammate is new to the task, work alongside them.

170

Build trust by giving comfort.

171

If they have some experience, guide them closely, review steps, but build trust by giving clarity.

172

And if they're experts, step into unblock.

173

Build trust by giving context.

174

That's what Steve Jobs was doing with Johnny Ive.

175

If new hires get too much freedom, they will fail.

176

And if experienced people get micromanaged, they will quit.

177

You lose both ways.

178

So that's trust management.

179

Trust speeds up everything.

180

And remember, you don't need to be a CEO or a founder to apply any of these ideas, right?

181

You can still apply to your calendar with your teammate, to your roommate, your partner, your spouse, your kids, whoever.

182

So here's what I would invite you to do this week.

183

Pick any of the following.

184

Define your role, name your zone, write your one non -negotiable, or delegate one repeatable task.

185

And remember Remember the eternal principle.

186

You cannot control time.

187

You can only steward the time you have.

188

In the end, good time management helps you make time for what matters to you personally, things that bring you joy and happiness,

189

because your time is finite.

190

If you liked this video, I hope you find time for another one here that I think you will enjoy.

191

See you next week.

192

Thank you and I love you.

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
