4 SIMPLE TIPS TO GET STARTED TODAY:
1. AVOID DISTRACTIONS
2. CREATE CONSISTENCY
3. BE A PASSENGER

WHY IT
WORKSWhen you wake up early or go to bed late, the probability of someone else being awake and able to interrupt you decreases.
No distractions. You’re hustling away while the rest of the world is busy either sleeping or trying to pull themselves out of bed.

HOW IT
WORKSSocrates once said, the secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old but on building the new. The key here is focus & energy.
Whether you sleep in or go to bed early, make sure you’re well rested. Eat healthy meals, drink lots of water and try to get a light exercise in when you can.

TIP“We can’t manage time because time is a constant. Instead, we must learn to manage ourselves and prioritize our efforts on a daily basis.”
BE A PASSENGER3.
WHY IT
WORKSI hate driving. People usually think that’s odd so let me explain. It’s not that I hate the act of driving from point A to point B, what I hate is the amount of time required to get there.
Taking advantage of time spent traveling allows you to be efficient with your time and will make the world of difference in your already busy schedule.
BE A PASSENGER BE A PASSENGER3.
HOW IT
WORKSTake a tablet or laptop when traveling by air. Work on the tasks that don’t require wifi and send everything off once you reach your destination.
Utilize taxis or busses. Reply to e-mails or manage your calendar in the time you would have spent driving.

TIP“Anything over an hour is an hour you
could have been generating value,
instead of simply moving your body from
here to there.”

BE A PASSENGER
WHY IT
WORKSDon’t spend time doing things that aren’t going to benefit you down the road or help you get closer to your goals. Focus needs to be embraced when you’re taking on new work and a new lifestyle.
4. THE POWER OF
SAYING NO“ ”
HOW IT
WORKSIf you’re too busy to catch up with someone or commit to something, simply tell them you’ve got a lot going on right now. Honesty is always the best policy. Prioritization is the key to success and happiness; choose wisely.
4. THE POWER OF
SAYING NO“ ”

TIP“Say no to requests to do things that you don’t really want to, don’t value or don’t bring you satisfaction and joy.”
