Time management is really a fallacy. You cannot manage time. You cannot give me eight hours, and I can’t give you nine hours back. The person who created the term “time management” is a great marketer. It’s a great marketing strategy.
I’d like to reframe time management as activity management and rename it as a destination. What is your destination? How many activities can you put into a day? You cannot manage time, but you can manage the activities within that allotment of time. How do you do that? You create daily and weekly destinations. There are only 1,760 business hours per year—220 days times 8 hours. That is really all you have to be in front of a decision-maker. These are your money activity hours.
As a business entrepreneur, get more business out of your knowing
there is a win at the end of each hour. When you create those power blocks, you will have more productivity. Now, once your employer understands how power blocks work and notices his or her staff is
more productive, your employer will be supportive of his or her staff. You cannot manage time but you can manage activities within that time.
