Girls quitting sports due to appearance
According to research by Dove, the fear of not looking like an athlete leads to 45% of girls quitting sports by the age of 14. The shift in focus from ability to appearance makes sports intimidating for girls. To address this problem, Dove and CVS have developed tools and resources to empower teen athletes and encourage their continued participation in sports.
Multiplying time through significance calculation
The concept of multiplying time involves a shift from efficiency and prioritizing to a three-dimensional approach called the significance calculation. Instead of solely considering urgency and importance, multipliers also evaluate the long-term impact or significance of an activity. By giving oneself permission to invest time today in activities that create more time in the future, individuals can effectively multiply their time and increase productivity.
Rory Vaden explains how top performers multiply time instead of just managing it. He details the evolution of time management from efficiency to prioritizing and now to significance. Vaden advises calculating importance not just urgency, asking how long something will matter. Multipliers break free of one-day thinking, giving themselves permission to invest time today that creates more time tomorrow.
