As the year's rollercoaster comes to a screeching halt and we survey the scattered tracks of experiences, one constant remains unchanged: time. | Sonu Goswami
As the year's rollercoaster comes to a screeching halt and we survey the scattered tracks of experiences, one constant remains unchanged: time. We all wish we had more of it, right? Especially when our 168 weekly hours feel like they disappear in a blink. Well, enter '168 Hours: You Have More Time Than You Think' by Laura Vanderkam. Good Morning Everyone 😊 🙏 As This book📙isn't just about squeezing more into those hours; it's about changing how we see them altogether. Get ready to ditch the time scarcity mindset and explore how this book might become your ticket to a less frantic, more fulfilling version of your 168. 🕰Equal Time for All: Your Destiny, Your Clock No matter who you are—whether homeless, a billionaire, a teacher, or a blogger—we all get the same 24 hours each day, 168 hours every week, and a grand total of 8,760 hours every year. How we use this time is the secret sauce that flavors the fulfillment of our lives. 🕰Taking Control of Time: Your Symphony of Choices In life's big music show, how we spend our time is like playing our favorite tunes, not a lack of minutes. Saying "I don't have time" blames others. Saying "It's not a priority" changes things. Those 168 hours become a canvas for your decisions and priorities. 🕰Work and Life Mix: Untangling Choices A job is like a mixtape of tasks, and life is your unique playlist. Some things, like sleep, are must-haves, but the rest are choices bundled together, creating life's rich tapestry. Harvard's Smith and Rivkin challenge the idea that tasks must always follow old patterns. Maybe in the future, we'll see new, unexpected bundles, like a chemist winning a Nobel Prize and writing poetry. 🕰Super Skills: Your Unique Talents Beyond just skills, core competencies are your powerful, unique abilities that go beyond work and life. These talents should matter to you, match your values, and show off what makes you great. In simple terms, focusing on what you're really good at, even if you're good at many things, is a win-win. So, while managing your time is important, the real secret to more time is honing your special talents. 🕰Energizing Your Week: The Right Job Magic Choosing the right job is like finding a life partner; it fuels your entire week. When your job aligns with your strengths and brings joy, it's not just a career boost—it energizes every aspect of your life. ✳ Time Hacks: Three Steps to Efficiency: 1. Ignore it: Skip projects that don't add value, like avoiding unnecessary meetings. 2. Minimize it: Simplify tasks, like creating templates for repetitive work. 3. Outsource it: Delegate tasks to others, like hiring a virtual assistant for administrative work. ✳ Tactical Time Mastery: 1. Log Your Time: Reveal hidden patterns and prioritize. 2. Time Compression: Short-term vs. long-term reality. 3. Practice Consistency: Regular, focused effort for lasting results. ✅ Lesson: It's Ticking 🕰 Life is a one-time offer; make the most of each ticking moment. | 81 comments on LinkedIn
