If you learned to use the strategies that billionaires, Olympic athletes, and other successful people used, could you become more successful?
In 15 Secrets Successful People Know About Time Management by Kevin Kruse, the Kruse Group, 2015, Kruse takes top productivity tips disclosed by others, such as Richard Branson and Gary Keller, and distills them into 15 strategies to use to get more done.
In the first chapter, Kruse reminds us that each of us has the same 1440 minutes in a day, and our choices on how we invest those minutes determine our outcomes in every area of life. The second chapter encourages us to find our “one thing” which is the title of an excellent book by Gary Keller, and focus on it. In chapter three, Kruse advises us to stop making lists and schedule all important tasks in time slots on a calendar instead. Chapter five has some cures for procrastination.
Chapter six reminds us there will always be more to do and we need to pick a time to stop a work activity if we want to have dinner with our family. Chapter seven focuses on always having some paper nearby, such as a moleskin notebook, like Richard Branson uses to record our good ideas. Chapter eight has strategies to master the email inbox. Chapter nine advises us to eliminate or limit meetings. Chapter nine affirms that “no” is an important word to use to maintain control of our schedules.
Chapter ten discusses the concepts of drop, delegate, or redesign. Chapter eleven discusses how using a “theme”for certain workdays can help us get more done. Chapter twelve discusses some “touch it once” strategies for dealing with mail. Chapter thirteen advises us to establish a morning routine, like Hal Elrod in the Miracle Morning.
Chapter fourteen reminds us that it is as much about energy management as time management. Finally, chapter fifteen pulls all the chapters together by reminding us to combine these tips into an individualized operating system to get more done.
Additionally, there are additional time-saving tips shared by billionaires, Olympic champions, other famous people, and entrepreneurs.
Overall this is a good book to read, especially if you have not yet read the One Thing by Gary Keller and Hal Elrod’s Miracle Morning. If you have already read those books, you probably are already using most of the tips in this book. Still, this book does a good job of combining multiple good ideas taken from others and distilling them down to help us become more productive.
Overall, this book is quite helpful and recommended to help you get more done.
