Today is Saturday.
I woke up at 7AM and realized...I had not set-up a Saturday Note to go out today!
This is the first time I missed the deadline since I started!
Why?
It turns out the reason is simple, and I bet many of you can relate.
My Time Management system has collapsed!
Jim Rohn was one of my favorite professional development speakers when I started my own business a decade ago. I was turned on to him after learning that my late grandfather was a fan of his work.
In reflecting on my schedule the past several months it is clear something needs to change.
Looking over some of my old notes on time management I found these quotes from Jim Rohn and I wanted to share them with you this weekend.
Something will master and something will serve. Either you run the day or the day runs you; either you run the business or the business runs you.
Learn how to separate the majors and the minors. A lot of people don’t do well simply because they major in minor things.
Don’t mistake movement for achievement. It’s easy to get faked out by being busy. The question is: Busy doing what?
Days are expensive. When you spend a day you have one less day to spend. So make sure you spend each one wisely.
Sometimes you need to stay in touch but be out of reach.
Time is our most valuable asset, yet we tend to waste it, kill it, and spend it rather than invest it.
We can no more afford to spend major time on minor things than we can to spend minor time on major things.
Time is more valuable than money. You can get more money, but you cannot get more time.
Never begin the day until it is finished on paper.
Learn how to say no. Don’t let your mouth overload your back.
Time is the best-kept secret of the rich.
My Key Takeaway: Don't Major in Minor Things!
