Think You Don’t Have Enough Time in the Day?

We have so much amazing tech available at our fingertips right now. And yet, most people I meet don’t follow the simplest success principle that prevents their business from leveraging every growth tactic. 

Parkinson’s Law states that work expands to fill the time available to complete it.

And man! 

The number of founders who tell me they have no time is insane.

I had a client tell me this week that he has no time to learn AI and is coming to us because he thinks he never will. 

When I dug into it with him, I found out he had no formal system to ensure he had time for what mattered. 

The system I’m alluding to that no one seems to be doing anymore is time blocking. 

I learned the concept of time blocking in 2017 from The One Thing, the NY Times best-selling book by Gary Keller. 

Reverse engineering success and time blocking are two of the systems Gary used to build North America’s largest real estate company in just a few decades. And this still works–no AI needed!

Here is what you need to consider if you’re feeling your company isn’t growing as fast as you want, you have no time, or you’re falling behind:

1.) Schedule 30 minutes/week to review your goals

These should be weekly and monthly goals. Personally, I like to do this on Fridays. I close out the current week by setting 1-3 intentions for the following week. 

And when it’s the last Friday of the month, I also build out 1-3 goals for next month.

2.) Have your short-term goals coincide with your annual goals 

Time blocking is required to ensure consistency, but actually using that time wisely is pivotal. 

Set an annual target (typically, this is revenue or profit) and then ask: “What is the one thing I need to accomplish this month to make everything else easier to hit my one-year goal?” 

This is where AI can help you. 

As humans, we’re very biased. The best founders in the world are great at being unbiased, but it is a skill. And because it’s a skill, most people aren’t good at it at first. 

I would recommend using an LLM as a coach to ensure the goals you’re setting are the right ones. Here’s an easy way to get started:

1. Make a project for setting goals

2. Upload the book, ‘The One Thing’ to its knowledge base

3. Ask it to use the principles from the book and act as a coach to ensure you set the right goals

Scaling revenue without fixing your finances is how founders end up with IRS notices, cash-flow surprises, and fake profit.

3.) Execute

Use time blocking to set a recurring day and time to execute your most important work. 

No excuses. Block 2-4 hours per day for your highest-leverage work and treat it like a meeting you can’t miss. Eliminate all distractions (Slack, email, calls) during that time to help you really zone in. 

This is the difference between founders who “know what to do” and founders who actually grow.
