0:00So here we go alright. 0:03My name is Phyllis Khare and today I want to show you some practical 0:07and powerful calendar based time management strategies. I know 0:11that's not a very sexy title. 0:13I tried to think of something a little pithier, but I just couldn't 0:17and by the time he had my name in a lake it doesn't fit into a tweet. 0:21I can hopefully explain exactly what this all means through the 0:26presentation. Again if you are tweeting, please use the hash tag #timeblissme 0:30and use my username and make sure you spell it correctly. 0:33Well yes let's get to it. So today 0:37you're going to learn a few things and one thing is you going to figure out 0:41how to find out which time sucking task in your day 0:46you need to stop doing right away. I can show you had to do this very easily. 0:51I'm also going to show you how to notice what things you're doing 0:56based on wishful thinking and how to stop that. 0:59I'm also going to show you how to find more free time 1:02than you knew you could. Honestly a lot of people say no way 1:06I don't have any free time I just work around-the-clock until I drop into bed. 1:10Well I used to be that way too and I'm here to tell you that you can have free 1:14time and I'm going to show you how to do that. 1:16I'm also going to show you how you can 1:20figure out which tasks in your day need to be 1:24outsourced in order to be successful and keep your momentum in your business. 1:28I'm here to tell you that I used to think I could do everything. 1:32Honestly 1:36I wish I had started outsourcing some of the things that I do my business a long 1:40time ago. 1:42But I can show you how you figure out which 1:45things are the ones you need to outsource. It's so clear when you use a 1:48calendar program 1:49I'm also going to show you today the big one 1:53which is how to feel relaxed and confident 1:57that everything is getting done. 2:00I don't know about you, but I used to go to bed at night thinking 2:03"Oh my god, oh my god, I don't know if I can 2:07remember everything I need to do." Once I started putting everything on 2:11my calendar 2:12I started to feel more relaxed and more confident. I can show you how to do that too. 2:20How do you figure out which time sucking task in your day you need 2:26to stop doing right away. 2:27I think I hear from the audience 2:31stop looking at Facebook [Laughs] 2:35But we'll get to Facebook shortly. There are some traditional ways 2:39that people have used to find out 2:42if there's something in your day that's time sucking. Those traditional ways are 2:46you keep a time journal, you write everything down 2:50that you do during the day. Then you analyze it and 2:53you could figure out what's really wasting your time. 2:56Or you could set up computer timers 3:00and you could figure out "Oh my gosh it takes me a lot longer to do something 3:04than I thought it did." Then you could analyzed that. Or 3:08you could just be really clear on your own reaction when you do something. 3:12I'm pretty sure a lot of people here are thinking "Well 3:16I know what time sucks are because I know how that feels." 3:19Okay so these are all the traditional ways 3:23of finding out if something is a time suck. But there is a different way of 3:27figuring that out 3:28and that's if you used a calendar based method. 3:31You'll find out two things when you do this process: 3:34you'll figure out 3:38that a calendar is a reality 3:41based time view. What I mean by that 3:45is it you can't pretend that something 3:49takes you 60 minutes, when in reality 3:53it takes 90 minutes, if you're 3:56using your calendar in this particular way I'm going to show you today. 3:59There's no invisible reasoning with a calendar based method. 4:05What I mean by that is you can't explain it away you can't say things like, 4:08"Well I really wasn't fully doing the work." 4:12or "I really wasn't working on my A game." and things like that. 4:15So a calendar based method is reality-based 4:19and I'll show you what that is. But sometimes I need to stop for a moment 4:23and clarify what I mean by 4:25calendar based system. Now I want you to 4:28throw out what you think when I say the word "Calendar". 4:33A lot of people think well a calendar is something that holds my appontments 4:38like the dentist 4:39or business appointment and that's it. For this I want you to try to imagine a 4:44different idea 4:46for the rest at this presentation. So whenever I say the word "Calendar" 4:51imagine more of a daily, weekly 4:55time management system, 4:58a space where everything, 5:02everything in your life is notated 5:06on a specific time just like you see in this image here. 5:11Now going back to finding out if something is the big black hole of time 5:16suck for you, 5:17there are some warning signs. There are some 5:20big warning signs. If you feel bad 5:24after spending time online, yeah I can guarantee you 5:28a lot of that was just time suck. Because 5:31you feel bad after spending time looking at a screen and there's something in 5:35there that's sucking the time and 5:36energy out of you. If you're way up past your bedtime, 5:40it's 2 o'clock in the morning and you're still on Pinterest 5:44then this is a big warning sign for you. 5:47If you start finding that people get mad at you for the 5:51weirdest little things 5:52day and I can guarantee that you're staring at a screen too much 5:56and that is sucking the productive time out of you. 5:59Another warning sign is if you're Pay 6:03to Time ratio is way off. What I mean by that 6:07is that if you're getting paid for a $15 dollars an hour to do something 6:12but you really end up doing 3 hours 6:15up for that particular task, because of all the 6:19craziness that goes on with doing that task. If your Pay to Time ratio is way 6:24off, there's something in there that sucking out your time and we need to 6:28address it. 6:29Also if you're spending a tremendous amount of your time 6:32learning skills that you'll never ever 6:36really practically use. 6:39Those of you who this might ring a bell with you if you're into that kind of 6:43person where you love to learn how to do stuff, 6:47but it's sucking up all you productive time, then this is a big warning sign for you. 6:52Also if you are staring at a screen for more than... 6:56really if you're staring at a screen and... I'm including your 7:00mobile screen and this total if you're staring at a screen for more than 6 7:04hours a day, 7:05then there's something that is eating up your time and you're not being productive. 7:09That's why this calendar is going to be so important to you. 7:13Also if you're seeing that you have no momentum in your personal and 7:17professional life, 7:19seriously that means that something is happening in your time 7:24and hopefully this calendar system will help you out. 7:27I'd like to know how many of you just flipped off a few of those. I'm 7:32going to try and take a look at the chat 7:34here to see did anybody a click off any of these warning signs? 7:39That sure did great.. 7:43yes yes and yes thank you for everyone for 7:48figuring out your own tech there to make sure things work. 7:51But did anybody click off any of these things because 7:55I'm sure that I'm not the only person 7:58who's had these problems in life. 8:03yeah I know I know it's so hard 8:06Okay so this is what I'm going to show you right now. 8:09I'm going to show you this. Now a 8:12calendar based method 8:15is if you set up a 8:18reasonable amount of time on 8:22your calendar to do something. 8:25Now remember we're not talking about dentist appointments and things like 8:28that right now. We're talking about 8:30a time block where you're going to do a particular task. 8:35So if you put on your calendar a reasonable amount of time 8:39for that task and how that task will help 8:43that you're getting paid for that task for that amount of time. 8:47But then what happens is that 8:50if you spend longer than that time, the cool thing about a calender is you can 8:54adjust these blocks on a calendar and make them bigger 8:59are smaller. So your 9:02block of time that you're doing something you expanded 9:06to match the actual amount of time that you did. 9:11You notice this is an unreasonable man amount of time for the task 9:15and this is a really big heads-up for you. 9:18You really really really need to do the math on this. 9:23If you are putting on your calendar 9:26to do something and it takes a couple hours to do 9:29in your mind, but the actual amount of time doesn't match that, 9:33then the reality is 9:36disconnected. Now the cool thing is 9:39is that your calendar will teach you how long something will take to do, 9:45okay? So if you put a reasonable amount of time in here 9:50and then it takes you twice that amount 9:53then you know through time when you bid for some sort of task that you're doing, 9:58if you have clients, 9:59or if you're just doing a task in your work, 10:03then you know that now you need to set aside a reasonable amount of time 10:07that matches the reality. I hope that makes sense to everybody. 10:11So for example in a calendar based method if you have 10:15this reasonable amount of time to do the task, 10:19but then you have this 10:22researching how to do the task 10:26but you don't know notate it on your calendar? 10:29What you'll begin to find is on your calendar 10:33you will start to book things too close to one another 10:36because he didn't place in your calendar the time it takes to research. 10:41Or the time it takes to learn something. 10:44So going back to this calendar system 10:48as you start to put things on a calendar, which I'm going to show you a 10:53little more of how do that in just a moment, 10:55You'll start to find that these blocks might be bigger 10:59then you think they should be at first. So you 11:02always have to do the math. "Math!" that's my t-shirt of the day. 11:07Another think that you need to do is 11:10you need to find out... 11:14Let's let's just say it this way, 11:19if you organize your calendar 11:23with all the tasks you need to do in a week 11:27everything like all the tasks you need to do in a week, just like you see 11:30in this image here 11:31where I've set aside blocks have time to do something. But then you start to 11:35notice something interesting. 11:37The cool thing about especially Google calendars is you can move 11:41things you can drag and drop things on your calendar interface. 11:45If you find yourself moving something from let's say Tuesday 11:49you moved to Friday, then there's this little thing on Wednesday that you 11:53don't do, you move that to Friday too. 11:55You have this other little tiny thing you moved that to Friday. 12:00Then what happens you end up with this look and it's kind of crazy Friday 12:04from hell the looks like this 12:06where there is no breathing room, there's no space, everything is back to back to back 12:11to back to back, there's so much to do. 12:13Has anybody ever had that experience? where you 12:16move everything down, move everything down, move everything down. I'll do it on Friday.. 12:22So the interesting thing about that 12:25is your calendar will tell you 12:29which of these things you really really really need to 12:34outsource, or give to someone else or just stop doing. 12:37Because if you continually move them down on your calendar, 12:42this is a big conversation your calendar is happening with you. 12:46it's a "Okay. Why are you avoiding this?" Or 12:50"Why are you moving this?" You might say "Well it's because I don't know 12:54how to do it." 12:55Or you might say "I don't have the time." 12:59Or "This is going to take longer than I'd set aside." Or 13:02"I don't really want to do it." I mean all of these things 13:06are things that your calendar will tell you, 13:09but you have to put everything on the calendar first. 13:12That's the whole point is if your calendar is full 13:17of the things that you're doing and then you find out which ones are moving, 13:23then the calendar will tell you which of those things are 13:26wishful thinking on your part. 13:28That's why I say a calendar system is a 13:32reality based system. 13:35The thing is about that is you have to use the calendar in this way, that you 13:39have to actually put things 13:41on the calendar. Now the calendar will talk to you 13:45and here's the thing, I had a friend of mine and I told him a few of these 13:50points I'm telling you today. I want to take a moment to take a 13:53break and have you read 13:55what he said about it. 14:06So I hope you're reading that and I'm going to read it back in case for some 14:10reason someone can't see it or they're just listening to this 14:13in audio version. But here's the quote, 14:17"My time tracking and calendar blocking is on hyperdrive 14:21and I am so much more productive. And more importantly 14:25I see where I need to say no, I see where I need to raise rates 14:29to afford to have more free time, I see where I need to delegate more. 14:34I tell me seriously, this is one of those moments in my career that 14:38I will remember as one of the most pivotal." 14:41That's from Jason Wiser and he's a good buddy of mine. 14:45See that's the thing, he just took these couple of little things about 14:50putting 14:50everything on his calendar in time blocks. 14:54He started to notice things and he noticed things very quickly 14:58because the calendar again as reality-based. 15:02Notice that there are some 15:06open spaces on this particular calendar image. 15:09Now I would tell you I used to have 0 15:12open spaces in my life. I mean 15:16I was stressed and I seriously 15:19I talked about it all the time, I talked about giving it up and giving up 15:23writing the books and the teaching and I wanted to go buy a banana farm in Costa Rica. 15:29Well, I still want to do that. [Laughs] 15:32But time was not my 15:35friend. Seriously it was not my friend 15:38I kept saying things "I don't have enough time" 15:41that "Time is not on my side", "Time is running out" 15:45I mean those were the things I was saying to time. 15:48Let's be really clear here about this, 15:51I fully, 15:55fully and firmly have a deep understanding 15:59that everyone is the CEO of their own life. 16:03If you believe that your particular situation 16:06is someone else's fault or is 16:10time's fault, then I want you to especially listen through the next three slides, because 16:15I know without a doubt that you can turn this around 16:19because I did and I have free time now and it's really freaky weird to have 16:23free time and still get everything done. 16:26I have to tell you for someone like me 16:30who filled up space 16:33all the time with lots of things to do, 16:37it can be really weird to have free time. 16:41So let's talk about that for just a minute. 16:44Now a lot of people say that 16:47if I have free time I'm going to the beach, I'm going to chill, 16:52I'm going to read a 16:54book. But when they get that free time, what happens 16:58is that they do this. They work, they work and they work and they work 17:03and they build it. They're working the it, right? 17:06and I am positive the reason people spend their 17:10free time working more instead of hanging out at the beach, 17:14is because they're afraid. They believe they need to keep throwing balls up in the 17:19air 17:19or everything will come crashing down and they are. I don't use this word 17:24lightly, addicted to the drug called 17:28"Got to do it. I got to do this. 17:31I got to do that. I got to.. got to.. got to.. got to..do more." for a hundred different reasons 17:36Somehow people have become drugged by this physical chemistry being revved up, 17:42this adrenaline-fueled business building. I bet 17:45there are some people out there who can relate. 17:49I bet if you say it in the chatroom 17:53there will be people. Now there are also 17:57people who when they get free time.. 18:00the whole reason I'm talking about the free-time is that when you start 18:03using a 18:04calendar based system and you start getting the very efficient and organized in 18:09what you do, you 18:10you will get free time. For some of you, 18:13you don't know what to do with it. 18:16Every time I got free time I would spin out of control because 18:21"Oh my gosh, I could go to a movie, 18:24cook a dinner or I can go for a walk." There were so many possibilities. 18:29But what happens a lot of time with people like me 18:32is there's so many possibilities that 18:35you shut down and end up on the sofa 18:38binge-watching some TV show, right? 18:41So this is the thing about a calendar system, 18:45if you have trouble dealing with free time 18:50then you can fix this with the calendar system. 18:53So the way you did this is you create a time block on your calendar 18:59that's called "Free time" and you put it 19:02where you end up having some space in your day. 19:07Inside the description area you actually list 19:11all this cool things that you keep telling yourself you're going to do if you 19:15ever get free time: 19:17like walk 2 miles, bike 2 miles, read that book on Kindle, do a spa time, 19:23or whatever, you put your list in that description. 19:27Then this is the most important part 19:31when you get to that time lock on your calendar 19:34and you open it up you have to be 19:37willing and I'm going to say that word again willing, 19:41to do the next thing on the list. Now I know some of you are thinking 19:46"I have no problem with free-time. 19:48If I get free time, I'm totally okay with what I can do." 19:52Well some of us do have a problem with free time 19:55and this calendar based solution will help people like me tremendously. 19:59So how do you get all this free time? Well most people start with the checklist 20:04and I'm going to have a day here with the checklist. So 20:08how many people out there is still using a checklist, a daily checklist? 20:13You can put that in the chat. 20:16I'm a fan of the checklist, but 20:20the checklist to me is only step 1. 20:24If you stay with just a checklist 20:28I tell you there's so many problems with this and there's so many things you 20:32can do in step 2 20:34that will make a checklist work for you. Now here's the thing 20:38the problem with the checklist, the checklist has several problems. 20:43One is that it's generally a never-ending list. 20:47I like to call it little bunny rabbits because the more you put on the list, the more you think of to put on the list. 20:53If you sit down, seriously you could 20:57have this list go on until you decide to put the pen down. 21:02It's a never-ending list, but here's the thing 21:05one of the biggest problems with the checklist is the frustration for not 21:09completing everything on the list, 21:12right? So you work all freaking day 21:15and you get a check of 2 things. Now for those of you 21:18in a work environment where this is part of your job and there are things you need 21:22to do and you're just working off a task list 21:26I have to tell you what you need to do take this to step 2, 21:30instead of just keeping things on a task list. 21:33It's so frustrating to not get everything done. 21:37But this is the weird thing, the checklist 21:41is not based in time reality 21:44and that's because the things on your list might 21:48actually take days or weeks to complete. 21:52But because it's on just this one tiny little line, 21:55it looks like it should take an equal amount of time 21:58as the thing before it and after it, right? They are 22:02equal in their value but not in reality. 22:05That's a big problem with the checklist. 22:09The other thing this a problem with the check is it's a random list. 22:12It's whatever your brain throws out there that you need to do. 22:16Then you have to go back and prioritize it, 22:19you have to sort through it, you have to move it and it's a lot of work 22:23working with the checklist. 22:24That's again a very big problem. Here's a big one for me. 22:28I'm sure other people have this, that it's 22:31easy to ignore this checklist or forget it, 22:35only to find it 2 days later and realize that 22:39nothing on that list was completed. 22:42I'm positive I'm not the only one in this category 22:46Here's the thing, step 1: 22:50if you're still making a checklist, is to make the list. 22:53Step 2 is you take this checklist 22:57and now you're going to put it physically 23:01on a calendar. You're going to take each one of those lines 23:06on that checklist and physically put it on 23:09an actual time 23:12during the day. Now a lot of times when people 23:16do this they take their checklist and they put it on a physical time 23:20during the day, it's a big fat reality check. 23:24Because honestly if you do this and you put 23:27everything on your checklist, you will find 23:30that it does not fit into one day. 23:35You would have to be working till midnight sometimes to get things done on 23:39that checklist. 23:40So than you think "Okay well I can move this over to the next day, move this over 23:45to the next day, move this over to next week." 23:48That's the cool part about the calendar based thing is you put 23:53everything in 23:54and then you have this big reality check there's not 23:57enough physical time in my day to do everything on the list. 24:01So where do I move this stuff? 24:05if you do that you'll start to see how the checklist is really only 24:10Step 1. 24:12Now I have to tell you I am fully a member 24:16of the superwoman club and I 24:19think about this now, I truly used to think I could do everything 24:23in a day, somehow bending time to my will 24:26that was like my superpower, but 24:30if I did that and I really pushed myself by God I am going to check all those 24:35stupid things off. 24:36I was more stressed than ever and I was not very good CEO of my 24:41own life by doing that process. 24:44So what do you do then? Well there's really 24:47really no magic to this. To get more free time 24:51you need to put everything on your calendar 24:54and I mean everything. That's 24:57a first step, right? You need to see what you've created for yourself. 25:02You need to have that reality check session with yourself 25:05and see what you've done here. You need to decide which things are important and 25:10which things are not. 25:11There are ways to do that by watching your calendar and seeing how it talks to you. 25:16You can listen to your calendar and is it telling you you've taken on too many 25:21projects? 25:22If you're working at an office and people have given you lots of project to do 25:27and it's just on a task list, it might seem as if 25:31you could complete those pretty quickly. But if you take those things on your list 25:35and put them on the calendar with the correct amount of 25:40time it's going to take to complete that task, 25:43then you'll notice that the checklist could take months to complete. 25:48So if you're a solo entrepreneur 25:51and you've taken on 15 clients and you have to do 25:55all their Facebook postings, Twitter, LinkedIn and all their 25:59YouTube 25:59and you start to put the amount of time that it actually takes to do that 26:03on your calendar, you might find that you've got 5 , 10, 15 26:07too many clients. Or else 26:10you're going to have to develop your own team, it'll become very clear when you 26:15use this calendar based system. 26:18Have you taken on tasks you're not skilled to do? Yeah, 26:21when you put everything on our calendar, you start moving things over. "I'm not 26:25doing that till Friday." Like I said you end up with 26:28that Friday from hell, 26:29it becomes very clear that you need to outsource that. 26:34The calendar absolutely tells you 26:38that. Now I want everybody to take a deep breath right now 26:43because I'm going to talk about something that might 26:47get people a little upset, but here we go. 26:51I want everyone to count your open tabs right now. 26:55Yes you, count how many open browser tabs you have right now. 27:00It might take a minute, but go ahead and count them out. 27:05I wanted to count them out because we're going to go through this 27:08exercise, okay? and I want you to think about this 27:12every tabby you open needs a little bit if your brain 27:19to remember why it's there in the first place 27:23so if you open were man into and then three taps like that 27:28in there are three bit to be your mental capacity 27:31it's now on dedicated to remembering about goes to reach your app's 27:36it's sort of like a background system running 27:39seriously it's like a bad ground system and it's not necessarily conscious but 27:44you know sort of that deeper unconscious surnames subconscious layer 27:48oh I have all these tabs I have to do this I have to do this I have to do this 27:52and 27:52to get this said now you've got 27:55I love this brain dedication to this 27:59so every open tab hold a little bit 28:02your brain hostage until the cabins 28:06you can K 28:09so when I talk to people about time management 28:12where the big things for me isn't that 28:16time also has to include 28:19how you're managing your tabs up on your browser 28:24everybody have a number DF numbers I CEO 28:27only 16 huh and I know 28:30okay well I'm going to keep your number in mind here's what we go here 28:34alright count your open tabs 28:38sure you're ready you have 1 through 5 28:41then I consider you still focused 28:44on a singular project and that 28:47things are finding your tab world in your okay 28:50that you have six to 10 tabs open the your brain is starting to slide in this 28:56turning to dedicate more space to keeping these tabs open 28:59which will cut down your productivity and which will increase your stress 29:04K. If you have 11 to 20 29:07open, honestly this is really too many is too many 29:10it will take up too much of your brain to remember what's going on there. 29:1421 to 30: oh my gosh! 29:18Okay if you have 21 to 30 has you bring to you right now, 29:22I can tell you right now if you have 21 to 30 tabs open 29:26you were feeling overwhelmed I can /url this guarantee it. 29:30All right and if you have over 30: oh my gosh! 29:33seriously you just need to close that go home seriously 29:37disclosed that a now here's here's a day 29:42about these open tabs okay is a really 29:46easy solution to this and i know i love you start net 29:49let's turn to close a marina but it's really easy solution to this 29:52if you using a calendar bassist am and the solution 29:55is that if you let your calendar guy jerk activity 30:00in the only tabs ok then are there once it have to do with the task at hand 30:07and when the task in block is over he discloses caps 30:12right so if you have a Taser block a 30:15doing a particular project it involves 30:18let's just say here on Facebook could speed on LinkedIn 30:22just for an example then does taps to the open 30:25and then you do that process and then you can just go ahead and 30:29the in that time by close is now 30:32now what happens is downloaded times people will be doing the project 30:37and they've got Facebook Linkedin and HootSuite open and then they can it get 30:41distracted 30:42and then what happens is it they start looking to do it 30:46video in this article in its that may go down the rabbit hole 30:49and they don't stay focused so if you watch the number of tabs in your browser 30:54and you 30:55you realize what this means now you'll start to notice sooner 30:59the is starting to turn set to turn away 31:02and so that's why does it is Tam process because it will stop 31:06an activity all-star a habitual way 31:10doing things online it is sexy your time 31:14so but you have to do this you let your calendar guide directivity in the 31:18only taps up there are the ones that have to do with the task at hand 31:22and I'm telling you if you do this the brain 31:25overwhelm will immediately like not 31:28immediately like not like denounced speaking after tad 31:34we want to talk about these two things here 31:37Facebook and email now here's the deal 31:42a lot of people have facebook in the email open all the time 31:46and the only reason you should have facebook open all the time 31:50is if you have clients in need to manage their accounts on Facebook but 31:53even with that you really need to have alerts and notifications set up for that 31:58and not necessarily have Facebook physically 32:02ok then all the time just just close it 32:05just consider and I'm not gonna die deep in the email because I think there's 32:10some really wonderful programs and strategies out there for managing your 32:13email 32:14and in general what you need to have a system in place that works for your 32:18particular situations 32:19and I know that some people day only check the email three times a day 32:24and I highly recommend that first thing in the morning 32:27at lunch and then in the afternoon after about three thirty four clutch 32:32and I bet you know there's some people email like in the middle of the day 32:36and you don't ever hear back from them until after 3:30 32:40and you'll know that that's why because it could in 32:43email system into place to help manage the 32:47overwhelm and I highly recommend least doing 32:50that so just close at hand and only open it 32:54during those three time slots now 32:57you know I've been talking about you know this time system management program 33:01they've been 33:02on working on and they're just six rules 33:05for managing your time inside at the calendar and you can do this right now 33:09whether or not you 33:10get you know become a member outside my career not just did the six rules 33:14okay number one could and everything on the calendar 33:18everything just everything gets picked each other way to do that in the latter 33:22cases but to start putting everything on calendar 33:25and then here's the real number two no overlapping 33:29if you put something down don't schedule something that a relapse it 33:34you have to look at your calendar and find it empty space to 33:37hold that think and be realistic about the time 33:42again it to you put something on your calendar the takes three hours 33:47and then you have something else it takes three hours but you only have 5 33:51hours to do these two projects the need to think about 33:54because you do rule number two 33:58in it goes into six hours you're done 34:01plus a new word you're over an hour so it's a big wake-up call when you 34:05take on business and then see that you don't have the time to do it 34:09so again the reading on the calendar know everything 34:12and then the third row is you can't decide if you're going to have 34:16blocks of time are individual that 34:20and when I mean by that is let's say you have 3d people you have to call 34:24right you can either put in a block the time that says 34:28on right time to call these people 34:31in inside the description area but the name to the phone numbers at the people 34:35you're going to call 34:36that would be at time block or you can put 34:39their name in their phone number as in individual 34:42Advent on the calendar now in this case 34:47depending on your particular situation you might choose one of these options 34:52on the nice thing about the individual event 34:55is if you don't reach when it is people you can just 34:58drag added it to the next day in Trenton again 35:02so that's something to think about either a block 35:06for individual it and then always set a reminder this is a key ingredient to my 35:11particular system 35:12is setting at reminder I have a 10 minute reminder 35:15before each new block in my calendar starts 35:19and that sort of like lose me into I'll shoot well 35:22obviously did not organized enough time for this were 35:26you know up in nineteen completeness in 10 minutes because my next thing starts 35:31arm I know that there's some pretty high level CEO's its and pretty in major 35:36companies 35:36his views a counter Bay system and Bay 35:40always put in a half an hour buffer time between 35:43everything that they do and their reasons for that is it things 35:47Red Rover little bit external early but group no 35:51be like that but for time to let things sink 35:55Ian from the last thing that they attended 35:59said you might want to think about is you organize your time 36:02is not just put things back to back to back to back is to you 36:06and there's a buffer times where there's nothing on your calendar 36:10and then the other a rule in my system is to do a weekly review 36:14how me and my sister doing this things really start to change 36:18because is your day working to your week you might be adding things to your 36:22calendar for next weekend then 36:24it on Sunday night you sit down and just review your calendar for the upcoming 36:28week 36:29six in the place where there's overlaps delete things that really don't need to 36:33be done 36:34rearrange things according to when your brain works better 36:38and you certainly make everything nice in the in organized I tell you 36:42your sleep good on Sunday night because then things are 36:45several know things have a place to get done 36:50and as long as you do the things your calendar tells you to do 36:54at the time you want to do date you can't feel 36:58relaxed because in three things going it done 37:01and it's so nice to be able to just let on thank you now 37:06knowing that your calendar has your back and really that's 37:10the six rules like that and this 37:13this system then I had is call time bliss 37:16dot me using Google calendars and I developed this starting back 37:21in 2010 when I really thought I was going crazy 37:25and I needed to develop this and this is how it evolved in this is what it is now 37:30and there are some wonderful things and I in this program I just can't take a 37:35few minutes and explain how it works 37:37desist enhance so remain categories 37:41there's where and teach you how to use assist and in all the calendar skills & 37:47how to expand things and the cool thing is is stated 37:50in this particular section I even show you how to take 37:55in mind map know I know I didn't mention my maps in the air but I do in this 37:59program 38:00and that is it a lot of people instead of a check list eight think 38:03in terms of my nap in a sure out these incredible flow charts it's how things 38:08go 38:10well that's great but that again I consider a step 1 38:14and says step to you is actually put their on a calendar said the 38:18everything gets done in the way that you want to get done 38:22in time and that you can again not be stressed about it 38:26in fact my entire system 38:29and creating this product I use dist 38:33particular process so I show you how to do that to take something from a mind 38:37map 38:37and place it on the calendar and that's in this particular program 38:41and then the other thing that I have is dis on 38:45view where I turn on their screen sharing you just watch me do things that 38:50how I do things in my personal calendar so you see me do a weekly review 38:54you see all the things I do with my email that put things on the calendar 38:58you'll see me notice patterns that I know I have about myself 39:03and how that works and so I 39:06I definitely on like to show that when 39:10because i think is learn more when you do it that way and also 39:14the morning teaches system the more I realized that dined really needed the 39:18coaching session 39:19I really need to have in 39:22that firm you know really important part in it 39:27because the thing is is that people say oh yeah put things on the calendar when 39:31I noticed is that they would start to do it in eight hits some kind of resistance 39:35and so I decided put in the coaching aspect to this program 39:39but when people hit those blocks and when you need is boxed 39:43you know all the sudden the counter programming is like on errand run to do 39:47that anymore 39:48because here running into something on 39:51it might be a subtle form of procrastination 39:54it might be so. for have not valuing your 39:58own on ability to manage your own life there's 40:02all sorts of things that go into this this part I have 40:05this system the coaching part and so it's in these little 40:109 a little blocks in everything's in there and the cooking about this program 40:13is that I have 40:15on the cutting part 2 like this little audio podcast that can really cool I 40:19really 40:20I'm really enjoy doing them in their confronts and then the rest the program 40:23is all about 40:25video and video tutorials and 40:28arm said there's a really easy to do they start here and if you click 40:32any of these videos they pop open to lightbox you can 40:36see this and you can if you took full screen on your computer or on your phone 40:39which Israel chemical 40:41and then each section firm has and members 40:44only on comment section for tuning 40:48so there's no need for like a Facebook group for GPS community it's all 40:52self-contained right inside the system 40:56so here's a cool thing and I know I've been talking so much I want to answer 41:00questions and so let me just get through this last 41:02I think here and then I'll go back and answer questions for you 41:06and that is it that the whole time list system using Google Calendar 41:10ok very important point I he is 41:13I created the system using Google Calendar because honestly I'm 41:16its kinda Google thing girl now you can use this system 41:20with in a calendar system as long as it has the function said I talk about in 41:25this

how many people here 44:16are solo entrepreneurs and how many people are here because they work in an 44:20office in their part of the team 44:22you can either put some lower team in the chat now can get an idea 44:28on a good question how specific should we get 44:32sometimes until they got my calendar that's a very good question 44:36and they're cheap things you can do with that in the title 44:39and just everybody understands the vocabulary 44:42on Google Calendar when you put something on the calendar the college an 44:46event 44:47alright so that it's not like you know a birthday 44:50event it's just that's the term the years so when you put an event on your 44:54calendar 44:55on the title you have 44:58room to put as much as you want sent you can put 45:02you now in the sentences 3456 sentences in the title 45:07especially if that time block is more than 45:10our and then of it text will show up on the calendar 45:15or you can title it on things 45:19you know very generic in the description you add all of that information 45:24on you have to come to know how your brain works in how you want to customize 45:28your character that way 45:31alright what else do we have here does it hurt you 45:35also use a time tracking tool well if you use your calendar 45:40and you happy pounder up and to you 45:44are on adjusting your calendar 45:47as you do something dan your calendar and it is a timer 45:52so for example if I have on my calendar 45:55a one hour block to do something and 45:58and arm I have I I do the thing 46:02and whatever it is the task it is and I go to the calendar and I noticed that 46:07it's a half an hour passed the time and then I had scheduled for each 46:10all you have to do is cool that little 46:13am box the block event lock down to match 46:18the amount any actually took and if you have time reset 46:22you will you will find that your next event 46:27watch you you into how much time you take each anyway there is a way to use a 46:31calendar 46:31as your timer hope that a answers that 46:36and let's say seller summer team for work solo solo 46:40team yeah I see everybody there that's great 46:44said let's see if I can find any other questions I can answer real quick 46:49how do you deal with people saying you on business email topic city don't 46:54really need to see each 46:56this is a big time set for me in reading emails that do not require 46:59include our response for me and these represent fifty percent by 47:04emails actually it's a very interesting thing that on 47:07a lot of people who work with the team day stop 47:11you seeing email for their team and they'll use something like asana 47:15or on tell you something like start i think is what it is 47:19Michael Hyatt just dad blog post about it 47:22and so what happens in and Michael do post you can go look it up 47:26he said that he did a little on research and that 47:29eighty-five percent of his email was from his team 47:33and so he took all love that conversation inside a sister 47:38and I think it was called star could remember correctly 47:41you can go look it up on his blockbuster maybe somebody can find it real quick 47:45and so what that does is it frees up your email and then that way 47:48you can go into your system and see which things you actually need to look 47:53at 47:54also your team needs to know how to use CC properly 47:58and also in the subject line hurt 48:01who needs to respond so for example 48:05if you have a team email and in the subject line you have 48:09arm next project list 48:12on dash on Sally Jo and 48:17stand need to reply all right said that 48:20it's very clear in the subject line who really needs to see that 48:24a lot of people use that kinda system in there email hope that helps.
