It took me years…
Trying, and trying… and trying to get normal time management techniques to work for me… failing miserably – until I discovered time management’s dirty little secret…
This secret exposes the entire time management industry as being almost at a complete loss
to really give you a lasting improvement in your time management.
But it’s important that we all face facts.
When you avoid these old techniques, you might find like I did in 2008, and my clients and customers have since then… that you free your own natural time management skill that brings back the energy, passion, and vitality you can probably remember feeling at certain times of your life when things just seemed to flow naturally.
Because Time Management does not have to be difficult.
In 2008 I excavated the oldest relic of time management theory… still taught by helpless time management trainers, who repeat what they read 20 years ago… that was based on training from 50 years ago… that was derived from one single 20 minute business meeting during the 1930s…
At a cost of $35,000
The Exact Time Management Technique That Steel Magnate Charles Schwab Used To earn 100 million dollars – in the 30′s!
Here it is:
Ivy Lee, an efficiency consultant in the 30s, told Schwab to make all his executives write a list of their 6 most important things they wanted or needed to do.
And then to order them by priority.
And to do them in that order.
And that’s it.
Well 3 months later, Schwab decided the results were worth paying Lee US$35,000 for. (At the time, the average worker in the US was being paid $2 per day.)
So if it was good enough to make 100 million, isn’t it good enough for you and I?
Well let’s see… Just write down the top 6 priorities you need to get done, and do nothing else but them until they’re all done, one by one…
And if you think that will work for you… if you think that’s some kind of magic revelation… if its the first time you’ve been exposed to this idea… then by all means go ahead and give it a try.
But let’s think about it just for a second.
Schwab and his top management were able to command employees to do their bidding.
They employed maids, cooks, nannies, etc.
And they lived in the 30s – known as ?the age of style?, when times were good, and life moved slow. Certainly nothing like our busy modern hectic lifestyles we have today.
And you probably don’t have a cook, maid, and nanny. I know I don’t.
Here’s the bottom line:
That one darn suggestion (that worked great in the 30s for top company management) has become the underlying principle of time management techniques still taught today.
Prioritizing by urgency or importance in today’s fast paced lifestyle only serves to keep you fighting to stay afloat.
Our professional and personal lives are far busier than they were for 1930s Executives.
So if you get frustrated with all of modern life’s distractions, chores, and piles upon piles of opportunities that pass you by day every day…
then you’ll feel as I do that modern time management needs to step back from these 80 year old ‘industrial’ techniques, and come from a new modern perspective.
I invite you to read on and explore a natural, modern, simple, flexible approach to time management.
