Summary of "The Brutal Truth About Time Management No One Wants to Hear"
Key Wellness and Productivity Strategies from The Brutal Truth About Time Management No One Wants to Hear
Mindset Shift: Time is Created, Not Found
- Time isn’t something you have; it’s something you make by choosing what not to do.
- Successful people don’t have more hours; they use their time differently through mindset and priorities.
Track Your Time Honestly
- For one week, track every single activity (work, eating, scrolling, conversations, etc.).
- Identify where time is wasted on low-value or mindless activities, such as excessive phone use, TV shows not enjoyed, or pointless social media scrolling.
Treat Time Like Money
- Every request for your time should be evaluated like a financial decision.
- Ask yourself:
Would I pay money for this? Is this worth the cost of my time?
- Recognize that time spent is life spent — once gone, it can’t be recovered.
Ask the Hard Question: “Is This Worth My Life?”
- Evaluate daily activities by whether they are worth the finite resource of your life.
- This question helps eliminate easy distractions and forces prioritization of meaningful activities.
Prioritize What Truly Matters
- Make a list of your real goals, projects, relationships, and experiences that matter.
- Schedule these priorities first on your calendar as non-negotiable appointments.
- Let less important or irrelevant tasks fit around these priorities or be eliminated.
