“The management of your time is the
single most important
contributor to your success. Period.”
- Darren Hardy

You can’t manage time…You can only manage yourself.
![Page 24: The Journey of Success: What I've Learned about Life, Love, and Business](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052523/5561e4c5d8b42a9d068b4cf9/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
You can’t save time…You can only spend it wisely

1First things first
![Page 26: The Journey of Success: What I've Learned about Life, Love, and Business](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052523/5561e4c5d8b42a9d068b4cf9/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

A SIMPLE RULE TO FOLLOW…
Never do a “C”
(EVEN THOUGH IT’S EASY AND FUN)
When you can do an “A”
![Page 28: The Journey of Success: What I've Learned about Life, Love, and Business](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052523/5561e4c5d8b42a9d068b4cf9/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Don’t MAJOR in MINOR things.
Where are you spendingmost of your time?
Are your goals, tasks and accomplishments HIGH IMPACT?
![Page 29: The Journey of Success: What I've Learned about Life, Love, and Business](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052523/5561e4c5d8b42a9d068b4cf9/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Pareto Principle
![Page 30: The Journey of Success: What I've Learned about Life, Love, and Business](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052523/5561e4c5d8b42a9d068b4cf9/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Pareto Principle
SPEND MORE TIME HERE
![Page 31: The Journey of Success: What I've Learned about Life, Love, and Business](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052523/5561e4c5d8b42a9d068b4cf9/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Multitasking…
doesn’t work.
28% loss in productivity
![Page 32: The Journey of Success: What I've Learned about Life, Love, and Business](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052523/5561e4c5d8b42a9d068b4cf9/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
It’s the same rush!Switching back and forth through multitasking drops IQ by 10 points.
Smoking weed drops IQ by 5 points.
So, if you’re multitasking, you’re actuallywalking around all day stoned.
