How to Get More Done in Less Time

Week 3 of Winning the Game of Money program focuses in on how to get more done in less time.  Did you know that 20% of your actions are responsible for 80% of your results.  The other thing that is important to know is that the importance of the task that you have to do is inversely related to the time frame that you give it.  If you give yourself a lot of time to finish a task, you will not feel it is as urgent and important to get done.  I learned this concept when I wrote my first book with Alicia Dunams, Seizure Free - Addressing the Causes of Seizures Naturally.  She had us focus in on tight deadlines and meeting them.  Most of the people in that Bestseller in a Weekend course finished their books within a month.

Make a list of all the things that need to get done each day.  Then mark which ones are the most important based on highest importance, highest income earning activity and highest impact activity.  When you start doing this, you will start increasing your income.  You will discover that the important things are getting done and the least important things are leaving your life.  Most individuals don't take the time to analyze the question, "What is the most important income earning activity in my life?"  Take the time in your life to answer this question and ensure that you are focused everyday on an income producing activity.

Develop a routine with the most important activities.  My routine starts with meditating in bed with the daily Winning the Game of Money audio.  I then proceed to breakfast.  I eat a healthy autoimmune paleo breakfast to jump start my day.  Then I move on to the 15 minute rebounding workout.  Rebounding on a mini-trampoline is a maximum effectiveness workout.  It stimulates the immune system and maximizes the force of gravity.  It isn't the only workout that I will do, but building it into my day as a habit keeps me on track to achieving my health goals of eliminating my autoimmune condition.

Organize and simplify.  Everyday you should take the time to organize and simplify your life.  Eliminate the clutter and confusion.  Make it a daily or weekly routine.  This will help you eliminate the chaos in your life.  This is an essential step.  If there is junk in your environment, there is junk in your head and it is causing chaos.  John Assaraf uses Friday as his decluttering day.  I like to clear the clutter on Saturdays.  Once you clear the clutter, it gives you the time to implement these time tested techniques to get more done in less time.

Make sure that the habits that you are forming support your goals.  One of my important habits is to express 3 areas of gratitude each day.  I write them on this blog everyday.  I do this because it has been shown that expressing three things that you are grateful for each day can improve your mood, your happiness and your self-esteem.  That is something that I want in my life.

1. I am grateful for the opportunity that I have today to clear my clutter
2. I am grateful for my vision board to help me refocus on my goals daily
3. I am grateful for the healthy autoimmune paleo pumpkin bread recipe that I found that will help me stay on track with my healing.
