Chapter 1 TIME MANAGEMENT SECRETS OF BILLIONAIRES
Yeah I can’t wait until I’m a billionaire. We would call it putting out fires. He calls it “got a minute”
Management Accounting philosophy is plan, organize, control and feedback. His “My Time Management Epiphany” p.9 is that he planned and organized his day into “got a minute” slots and meeting slots. Again, you have to be commitment to this method and be prepared with a canned answer like “Is this something that can’t wait until the weekly meeting?”
The Six Steps to Great Time Management
Step 1 “Touch it Once” I believe in this and practice this.
Step 2 “Make Lists” – I believe in this and practice this. Every day at 4:30 I plan a list for what I need to do tomorrow. It helps me sleep at night too. Since I have to charge out my time, I also summarize accomplishment for that day. If you do it daily, it doesn’t take long to do.
Step 3 “Plan how much time you will allocate to each task.” I don’t do this. If find this is a waste of time. When I schedule my “make a list” I divide list into 8 hr tomorrow and after tomorrow list.
Step 4 “Plan the Day” got it.
Step 5 “Prioritize” at my 4:30 planning and dividing my list into tomorrow and after tomorrow.
Step 6 “Ask Yourself. ”Will It Hurt Me to Throw This Away?”
I’m guilty of too much saved email. However when it comes to paper, I am constantly cleaning out and organizing my client files because I have to carry a briefcase with their information in it. If I don’t clean it out, it will get too heavy.
Okay I’m ready to be a billionaire.
Chapter 2 “Instituting Higher Standards and Regular Training”
p.21 “Preprogram Your Organization to Run Like a Finely Turned Machine”
Again, I live by this philosophy with continuous improvement and I am a fan of “E-myth”
I am shocked that “… 90% of the population will not look to improve their skills.” I must be in the 10%.
