There are two things we all crave more of:
Time and Money.
There are people who are wealthy beyond belief, but wish they had more time, and there are people with all the free time in the world who wish they had more money.
Why not have both?
I’m going to show you two tricks that helped me get there…
Trick # 1. Forget About Email
You may be part of the group of people that believe constantly checking your email is productive, but it’s actually one of the biggest time-wasters we experience each and every day.
Here’s how to fix that: gradually move away from checking your email until you get to the point where you’re only doing so the bare minimum.
First, change to checking it once in the morning and once in the afternoon.
Then move to just once a day. If that’s allowing you to keep the machine running smoothly, test checking your email every other day, and eventually get it to once a week.
You’ll find that the following happens:
- You’re no longer interrupting your own progress by stopping to check your email every hour.
- The issues that regularly pop up and distract you from the truly important tasks will start to solve themselves.
- You’ll have fewer emergencies to deal with because employees or coworkers will realize that they must solve those problems themselves.
- You’ll become less stressed and more efficient.
If you’re accomplishing the important tasks, this model will help you chase down wealth faster.
Trick # 2. Systemize Your Days
The amount of success we achieve is all determined by the sum of what we accomplish every single day. So, it makes sense that enhancing your daily productivity will earn you more wealth.
Here’s how:
First, create a physical list of some sort that includes every task you need to accomplish.
At the top of the list, write down the 2 or 3 things that are vital to achieving your next goal – the things you’d do if you were only able to work for an hour each day.
Then break down the larger tasks into smaller steps.
This will give you clarity and protection against feeling overwhelmed. A big project can feel like a mountain to climb until you break it down into smaller, less intimidating tasks.
And accomplishing those smaller tasks will help you feel encouraged to do even more.
Instead of burning out by hacking away at something and feeling like you’re not getting anywhere, you’ll find happiness and motivation by checking task after task off your list.
Eventually this system will allow you to find which tasks are truly important and cut your to-do list down to the few things you actually need to do.
Follow these two tricks and you’ll start to see more time and money coming your way.
