I&
#39;ve read pretty much every book on productivity and time management lol - here are my top time management tips that I genuinely use

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đ" title="Ziffernblatt 02.00 Uhr" aria-label="Emoji: Ziffernblatt 02.00 Uhr"> We own all of our time - at any given moment we&
#39;re doing what we most want to do. If we decide to play WoW or scroll twitter like a wasteman then we can&
#39;t say "I don&
#39;t have time to workout". We&
#39;re all in control of our time and choose how to prioritise it.
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đ" title="Daumen hoch" aria-label="Emoji: Daumen hoch"> Hell yeah or no - It&
#39;s okay to say no. If someone asks me to do something and I&
#39;m not like "hell yeah" then my default position is to say "nope, I&
#39;m not gonna do this". Thanks
@sivers for this one.

" title="Kalender" aria-label="Emoji: Kalender"> The daily highlight - I started doing this thanks to the book &
#39;Make Time&
#39; by
@jakek and
@jazer. Every day I try to write down the one thing I need to get done that day. By focusing on just 1 thing I don&
#39;t drown in all the other tasks I need to do.
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đ" title="Klemmbrett" aria-label="Emoji: Klemmbrett"> Use a to-do list - the reason we let stuff slip through the cracks when managing our time is because we haven&
#39;t written it down. I like to use a physical to-do list and cross stuff off as I complete it. But it doesn&
#39;t matter what you use tbh.
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đ" title="Spiralkalenderblatt" aria-label="Emoji: Spiralkalenderblatt"> Time blocking - put a block in the calendar whenever we need to do something. I don&
#39;t do this for everything, but I always time block my daily highlight (like "call Grandma" or "record video"). That way the 1 thing I&
#39;ve decided is super important is always going to get done.
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="âď¸" title="Waage" aria-label="Emoji: Waage"> Parkinson&
#39;s law - work expands to fill the time that we allocate to it. So if I have to film a video and give myself the whole day to do it, inevitably I&
#39;ll use all that time. But if I have just 1 hour, I&
#39;ll get it done much quicker. Advice: leverage artificial deadlines.
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đ" title="SchlĂźssel" aria-label="Emoji: SchlĂźssel"> Protected time - I like to keep my mornings free from Zoom calls. This means I can wake up whenever I want and for a solid 4 hours I have uninterrupted time to do whatever I want (like writing my book, thinking about the business, or playing WoW).
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đ¨âđť" title="Techniker" aria-label="Emoji: Techniker"> Delegation - ask yourself: what&
#39;s the dollar value of my time? It was about $25/hour for me when I started on YouTube. If there&
#39;s any work you don&
#39;t enjoy that can be outsourced for less than that (like cleaning your flat lol), then it might be a good idea to do that.
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="âď¸" title="Zahnrad" aria-label="Emoji: Zahnrad"> Automated scheduling - I found I was wasting a lot of time scheduling chats with people as we&
#39;d email each other for a solid 10 day before anything got done. But then I discovered
@Calendly. It&
#39;s great. You send a link to someone and they just book a slot in your calendar.
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đ" title="Lächelndes Gesicht mit lächelnden Augen" aria-label="Emoji: Lächelndes Gesicht mit lächelnden Augen"> The choice to be satisfied - when youâre a productivity nerd itâs easy to think âIâve only filmed 1 video today but I couldâve filmed 5, whatâs wrong with me?â We internally beat ourselves up, instead of choosing to be satisfied with what weâve done.
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đŹ" title="Filmklappe" aria-label="Emoji: Filmklappe"> Check out the video I made on this yesterday - hopefully you find it useful :)
