Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, folks, welcome back to Built to Win. Your
daily dose of CEO mindset drops right here in your ears.
I'm your host, Leo Weston, and let me ask you this,
Why ever feel like time is slipping through your fingers
faster than a greased piglet at a county fair. Ever
(00:22):
wake up a Monday morning feeling like you already got
five things checked off your to do list before you
even left bed. Yeah, I get it. Being a CEO,
being in the driver's seat of your own empire, it
comes with its own set of uni challenges, and time
management is right at the top of that list. Today
(00:44):
we're diving deep into the art of mastering time, not
just surviving it, because let's be honest, you're not just
building a business, You're building a legacy, and to leave
your mark on the world, you need to make every
second count. Think of this as your cheat sheet for
(01:04):
getting more done, feeling less stressed, and having time for
the things that truly matter outside of work. Here are
five key takeaways to level up your time management game.
First off, ditch the hero complex. You're not a lone
wolf trying to do it all yourself. Delegate, surround yourself
(01:24):
with a kick ass team, people who can handle the
load and bring their A game to the table. Trust me,
you'll be amazed at what happens when you empower others
and free up your own time for bigger picture stuff. Remember,
delegating isn't laziness, it's strategic genius. Think of it like this.
(01:46):
If you were running a marathon, would you carry all
your supplies on your back? Nope, you'd have a support
crew right saying, goes for your business next up. Prioritize ruthlessly.
You've got a million things vying for your attention. But
remember the Pareto principle is your best friend. Eighty percent
of your results come from twenty percent of your efforts.
(02:09):
Identify those high impact tasks that move the needle and
laser focus on them. Everything else it can wait. Learn
to say no gracefully but firmly. Protecting your time is crucial,
especially when it comes to distractions. Think of it like
guarding a precious gem, keep it safe from unwonted hands.
(02:32):
Speaking of distractions, let's talk about tech. Those notifications are
like tiny sirens screaming for your attention, pulling you away
from the task at hand. Turn them off. Mute those apps,
close unnecessary tabs, and create a distraction free zone where
you can truly focus. Remember you're not checking email. Email
(02:56):
is checking YOUO. You be the boss of your inbox,
not itsn Now let's talk about planning. You wouldn't set
sail on an ocean voyage without a map, right, so
why would you navigate your day without a plan? Block
out time for specific tasks. Schedule meetings strategically, and use
(03:16):
tools like calendars and to do lists to keep yourself organized.
A well structured day is a productive day. Finally, remember
that rest and recharge are not luxuries, their necessities. Their necessities.
You can't pour from an empty cup. Make time for
activities that bring you joy, help you unwind and replenish
(03:38):
your energy, whether it's hitting the gym, taking a walk
in nature, or simply catching up on a good book.
Prioritize self care to keep yourself sharp, focused, and ready
to conquer any challenge. Let me tell you a quick
story about a friend of mine, Sarah, who used to
be drowning in emails, meetings, and endless tasks. She felt
(03:59):
like she was constantly playing catch up. Then she decided
to take control of her time She implemented a system
where she blocked out specific time slots for focused work,
turned off notifications during those blocks, and delegated tasks whenever possible.
Sarah's productivity skyrocketed. She had more energy, less stress, and
(04:23):
even found time to pursue some personal passions she'd put
on hold. Her whole outlook changed because she finally mastered
her time instead of letting it master her. So remember, folks,
time is your most valuable asset. Use it wisely, manage
it strategically, and watch your business and life flourish. You've
(04:46):
