Managing time, how to get the best out of time, how to do more in less time, how to achieve your goals in record time, how to do what you want to do when you want to do it
2. The Relativity of Time
Time absolute and
unchangeable in and of
itself. It simply flows
unvaryingly. I have
explained everything in my
Laws of Motion
You are wrong, Isaac. The
only constant is the speed
of light. Space and Time
are relative. Everybody’s
reality is different
3. To move fast is
to have all the
time in the
world
- Ajibola Ayomaya
4. Know these things
You are in control
Your time is currency
Balance is to be sought
If you are fifty years and you still look at the world the way you did when
you are 20, then you have wasted 30 years of your life – Muhammad Ali
5. You are in control
Don’t waste time doing things
because others are doing it
Don’t do things because you
want validation from others
You are in control. The wheel of
your life is in your hands
6. Your Time is Currency
Time is the most
valuable thing a
man can spend
- Theophrastus
Spend your time, Invest your time, but
never waste your time
Think always: what is the best use of
my time
7. Balance is to be sought
• Too much of anything is never a good idea
• You need a balanced amount of work,
recreation, and rest in order to stay fully
functional
• There’s a time and a place for everything, and
sometimes work isn’t it.
• Working extra hard, but your relationships and
social life should never be sacrificed as a result
9. Focus - Leverage the Pareto
Principle
– On the average, 80% of your daily achievement is a result of 20% of
your time
– Because you are focused and have full concentration only 20% of the day
– Because your brain is working at full capacity only 20% of the day
– Because you spend only 20% of the day doing critical tasks
– Work in 90 minutes spurts. Break for 20 minutes:
for calls, emails, talk, and stroll.
Lost time is never found again.
- Benjamin Franklin
10. Grow - Aggregate your Marginal Gains
– There is at least a 1% margin for
improvement in everything you
do
– If you improve every area in you
life by just 1 percent, those
small gains would add up to
remarkable improvement
Regret for wasted time is more
wasted time - Mason Cooley
11. Delegate – To Humans and Machines
– When you fully concentrate, it should be on tasks that
worth that concentration.
– Give less challenging work to less capable people – it will
be highly challenging for them, and will improve them
– Use tools. That’s what makes present humans more
powerful than previous ones. That’s what keeps humans
at the top of the food chain
All that really belongs to us is time; even he
who has nothing else has that - Baltasar Gracian
12. Habitualize - Create Repeatable Patterns
Habits account for about 40
percent of our behaviors on any
given day
To transform your life, transform
your habits
Those who make the worst use of their
time are the first to complain of its
brevity. - Jean De La Bruyere
13. Choose - Keep Intelligent Company
– Spend time with older, more experienced
people. You will gain from their
experience and do things faster and
better. Also, you will talk about more
important things instead of frivolous
things
Time is the wisest counselor of all
- Pericles
14. Know these things
You are in control
Your time is currency
Balance is to be
sought
Do these things
Focus
Grow
Delegate
Habitualize
Choose
The time is always right to do what is right – Martin Luther King Jr.
15. In the End – Hold fast to The Light
God is the Light of the heavens and
the earth …… Light upon light!
Surah 24:35
The LORD is my light and my
salvation— whom shall I fear?
Psalm 27:1
- Take away from Theory of Relativity – the worth of my time is different from the worth of your time
- Take yourself to the highest level
Your brain can’t focus for more than 90 – 120 minutes at a stretch
Improve all aspects of your life by 1%. All what you do, do it faster by 1%. The time it takes to sleep, use toilet, brush, bath, wear clothes, walk, eat, drink, gist, exercise, every aspect of your life
If you buy a powerful computer, it should be because you want to run powerful things
There is no difference between past people and present people, that makes us achieve much more, except in the tools we presently possess. Previous people were most likely more intelligent, adept, physically honed and resourceful
