Ever wonder why time seems to slip through your fingers like sand? You're not alone. Millions struggle with a hidden productivity saboteur, draining their energy and leaving them feeling perpetually behind.
- Have you ever felt the pain of saying this: “Where did my time go? I was so busy and yet I feel like I didn’t get nearly as much done as I could have?”
- How many times have you made the same mistake repeatedly, wondering how to break the cycle and get it right?
- How often do we let poor habits creep into our lives without noticing them?
The answers to these questions and, our “salvation” in terms of increased productivity and efficiency and released stress, is hiding in plain sight at this very moment. And it’s right in front of every one of us. It’s in the actions that we take every single day.
The problem is that we’re so close to the subject at hand that we don’t see it as clearly as we could. We don’t make as much progress as we could because we either lack the discipline to refine our daily processes or we simply don’t know how to make the changes last.
If we were to design the ideal schedule and follow it, we’d make significant progress quickly in anything we do.
“If a student of virtually any discipline could avoid ever repeating the same mistake twice – both technical and psychological – he or she would skyrocket to the top of their field.” – Josh Waitzkin
Design the Ideal Schedule
So how might we tackle such a tremendous undertaking as changing our daily habits to match our goals and dreams?
At ProAdvisorCoach, one of the most effective coaching tools we have is our Time Tracker. Surprisingly, it’s not a tool that everyone greets with open arms. In fact, many approach it begrudgingly, like a certain CEO of an 8-figure financial firm whose initial response was, “I already know where I spend my time. Tracking it sounds pointless.” But on the other side of it, they all come back and say, “That was worth it.”
The aim is to minimize repetition as much as possible, by having an eye for consistent psychological and technical themes of error.
Here are just a few examples of client results we’ve been able to generate because they improved their daily focus on disciplined actions:
- A Major Account Executive for a technology company did the exercise for 2 weeks and was able to gain back an average of 10 hours per week in the first month and then went on to double their sales over the next 12 months.
- A CEO of a financial advisory firm was able to save 6 hours per week and increase their appointments by 2 per week, resulting in an increase in new business of over 30% in the next year.
- An owner of a marketing company was able to save 21 minutes per morning by seeing inefficiencies in the way she prepared the daily plan and started her day, resulting in saving nearly 2 hours per week
- A CEO of a financial advisory firm was able to pinpoint 7 specific times EVERY SINGLE DAY where he was leaking time and, upon fixing it, was able to double the production in his business over the next 3 years.
