3. What qualifies me to “lecture” any human
being on time management?
➔ Binged F.R.I.E.N.D.S (10 seasons) at least 30 times
➔ Consistently pulled all nighters to watch the UEFA Champions League on

17. #2 - Foraging the Resources
➔ Who are some of the leaders/
influencers in the field?
➔ What are the top books/ articles/
videos in the category?
➔ What are the latest trends in that
industry?
➔ Is there someone in your community
who can help?
Questions to ask at this point
“Ummm. This is all
good. But how is this
relevant to managing
my time?”
19. #3- Mapping the Journey: Resources -> Habits
Finding time for the new routine
1. How do you spend your time currently?
2. Identify the activities that don’t take you
closer to the goals set
3. Where can you squeeze in the new routine
'If You Can't Measure It, You Can't Manage It' - Peter Drucker
21. #1- Experimenting with the new routine
Questions to ponder at this point
➔ Are you a morning person or night owl?
➔ How does the new routine affect your
current habits?
➔ Are you actually being productive or simply
busy?
➔ Does the goal make sense?
Try. Test.
Iterate.
