What is something, no billionaire, millionaire, or a king or a dictator or a president of the most powerful country can’t buy? That’s Time.
It is evenually distributed but non-evenly managed by the majority. I learned from one the video where he says: your freedom of activity have a negative corelation with age. Which means, the more you aged, the less you have the freedom to move.
Being rich means you can buy your time and use it on things that you love, but to reach that wealth, you need to give a certain part of yourself to it unless you are born in the wealth.
What decisions in life you take determine the way you going to spend your time on.
A few months ago, I tried to manage my time. Give myself a time to do a task, I did the task and I learn that how much you can achive in a single day if you limit your time for a task. It change the way I see my days and weeks.
But, if you ask: what is the ultimate time killer? It is the smartphone, the screens around us, the number of micro-information we are getting, the dopamines, and our own quest to end boredom from our life.
Just yesterday while I was scrolling X (formerly Twitter), someone said: I don’t know how we reach to almost end of the year without even knowing it. I think this will be more easier for people that are busy in their life, all the time, to understand this. The more you are busy or pretending to be busy, the less you going to notice the time.
Waking Early:
I don’t know if you can be a billionaire if you wake up early but you can definitely be a more time person if you wake up early. You can achieve much more in the first four hours from 5:00 am to 9:00 am then you can in the whole day. When I start my day with working and achieving, you want to achieve even more the rest of the day, and it become more easy.
Following the Human circadian will always make you happy and satified in life — this applies to everything.
Each Task have allocated time:
You should allocate a certain time to each task. 30 minutes for cleaning the room, 1 hour for writing about a project, or 45 minutes running.
You can have task un-incompolished for a whole day that might take 30 minutes if you give yourself a time to complete it.
According to the Yerk Dodson Law: Performance increase under stress but to some degree.
Too little urgency → boredom and procrastination.
Moderate urgency → peak focus and productivity.
Too much urgency → stress and mistakes.
The concept of deep work is that involved.
Deep work is done through the very start of the day.
Some of the biggest enemies Time:
- Screen time.
- Not planning your time. Struct in one small task for too long.
- Not differentiating between a free time vs a productive time.
