    About this ebook

    This book contains proven steps and strategies on how to manage your time efficiently and effectively.

    Our concept of time cannot be manipulated. We cannot add another hour to the twenty-four hours we get every day. Our snooze button does not have the power to delay the sun from rising in the morning. Time simply does not wait for anyone.

    You'll discover powerful strategies and explosive (usually not literally, but be careful!) techniques that will enable you to get more out of your day. You will definitely agree that time management is what every person would want to have. We keep trying to find the time to accomplish what we need as if it's out of our reach, and we end up frustrating ourselves when we don't have enough time to get things done or do what we please.

    One thing we fail to recognize is that, time management is actually just a foot step away! If we only take a closer look then we can certainly have a breakthrough!

    Don't waste another second, buy this book now to learn the powerful productivity strategies you need to start the life and business of your dreams.

    What’s time management in simple English?

    It’s a set of principles, practices, skills, tools & systems that help you use your time to accomplish what you want.

    Why’s time management important?

    Time management is crucial for your personal life & career success. It simply teaches you how to manage your time effectively & make the most of it.

    Here are a few of the amazing reasons why it’s so important, & how it can help you use & manage your time more advantageously:

    1. Time is simply a special resource that you cannot store or save for later use. Everyone has the exact same amount of time each day. Time not well used simply cannot be retrieved.

    2. Most people, feel like they’ve too much to do & not enough time. They blame lack of time for their poor finances, stress, even bad relationships, & for also not exercising their body.

    Wise time management can really help you find the time for what you desire, & for what you need to do.

    3. You also need time to get what you want out of life. If you simply wait for extra time to appear, you may actually lose the game of life. Through right time management, you cancreatethe time you need, & not just wait for it to come. By planning your time wisely, you’ll have more time to do more things.

    4. Time management will also help you set up your own important priorities.

    5. Time is limited to just 24 hours a day, so please plan your life wisely.

    6. Time management helps you make conscious choices, so you can then spend more of your time doing things that’re important & valuable to you.

    7. You can easily learn to find the time for the things that’re important to you. Even a small amount of time once a day, or perhaps even once a week, will then take you closer to your goals, & you’ll be surprised at the amazing progress you make.

    8. You also become more productive using improved time management skills & tools, & can accomplish more with less effort & time. Time management can also  help you reduce wasted time & energy, help you become more creative & productive, & enable you to do the right thing at the right time. This will of course lead to more optimum balance & fulfillment in your life.

    9. Life today presents so many distractions, & therefore, it’s very easy to lose time on unimportant activities. Also ask yourself, is watching this or that TV program, reading this or even that gossip or even participating in a certain activity is going to add anything to your life. Is the time spent on a particular activity well spent, or is just a waste of time & energy?

    10. Life simply puts in front of everyone so many choices each day, & the main question is, do you follow what appears on your way, or do you consciously choose what you want to do? Do you allow external distractions to deter you from your goal, or do you use willpower & self -discipline to walk toward your goal in a straight line, without wasting time & energy?

    11. A certain degree of detachment & inner peace are useful in managing your time effectively. They also help you avoid spending too much emotional & mental energy on what people say & think about you. They even help you stay calm, despite distractions or difficulties, & this saves you a lot of time & energy, which you can spend on better & more rewarding activities.

    There’re many things you can do & tools to use to manage your time effectively. There’s a lot of time wasted each day, which can be put to better uses. There’re changes you can make, which will effectively increase the time you’ve at your disposal every day.

    Thinking, planning, and finding out how others manage their time, & reading books & articles on time management, will develop these skills & give you good ideas.

    Among the many changes that you can easily make to manage your time, there’s one that’s important & easily available, & that’s getting up early in the morning. Give up watching TV late at night & go to sleep a little earlier than usual. It’ll then be easier to wake up earlier.

    Even waking up only 10 to 15 minutes earlier would be great. It’s a time of quietude, before everyone else wakes up, which you can simply devote to reading, meditating, exercising, or planning your day.

    To get rid of the feeling that you’ve much to do & not enough time, try to feel & to think, as if you’ve all the time in the world.

    This kind of thinking would then enable you to focus on what you’re doing, without stress & strain.

    Always plan your time well & don’t waste it on useless matters. Be careful not to procrastinate, & do everything in the best way you can, with focus & attention.

    Chapter 2: The Iconic Mcdonald’s System

    We should work on our process, not the outcome of our process.

    — W. Edwards deming

    McDonald's has 36,525 restaurants around the globe. they’re found in 118 countries & serve 68 million customers each day. That's around one percent of world's population, every single day. Mind blowing.

    McDonald's employs over half a million people, most of whom, as you probably know, are perhaps acne-ridden high school kids.

    But here is the most amazing part: Despite the massive scale & complexity of this multinational corporation, their product & service is consistent.

    I could go to a McDonald's store in the United States, then the United Kingdom, & then in Australia, & everything would be the same. I’d get the same food. I’d get the same service. The store would look the same. Everything.

    Even more staggering is that most McDonald's employees are in fact failing high school students.

    how’s it that McDonald's, in all its 36,525 stores, is perfectly consistent — especially when its employees are mostly incompetent?

    Here's how: McDonald's has a secret. they’re perhaps the best in the world at creating systems. They break down all aspects of the business into their simplest components. They simply reduce their entire business to no more than a collection of little steps. They make these small steps so simple that a bunch of failing high school kid can actually run the business. Literally.

    McDonald's builds a simple, step by step process. They then just turn it over to their employees. The result of this system is that you get the exact same experience no matter what McDonald's store you go to — an extraordinarily & a really impressive feat considering they hire some of the least skilled workers in the world.

    So let's take a look at what the McDonald's system can teach us about time management.

    The General & the Troops

    Most people work long & hard, but fail to work smart. The biggest hurdle to working smart is indecision & lack of direction. this’s because we humans have two modes of work: Strategizing & doing. We plan & we act.

    The problem is that we often try to do both of these things at the same time. One minute we’re in go mode, the next minute we’re in strategy mode. This not only slows us down & makes us highly inefficient, but it leads to multitasking & decision fatigue.

    Multitasking also causes a 40 percent drop in efficiency. Decision fatigue depletes one's willpower. Decision fatigue also, as its name suggests, simply reduces the quality of subsequent decisions.

    So what's the solution?

    This dilemma can be simply resolved by dedicating a block of time to being in strategy mode. This frees up the rest of one's time for being in go mode. This clear division also eliminates the need for multitasking. It also quickly extinguishes the decision fatigue that saps at one's willpower & reduces the quality of one's work.

    The effectiveness of an army would be severely limited if men
