Here’s what you can learn about time management from very successful people:
- Do a time log. See how long things take and when your best windows are.
- Plan the whole week. Focus on your core competency and what makes you happy.
- Have a morning ritual that gets you closer to your long term goals.
- Set 3-5 anchor events for the weekend.
- Plan something fun for Sunday night.
Eric adds:
