INSIGHT

Time Management

  • Tasks don't inherently take a long time; we spend significant time not working on them.
  • This "not doing" time is waste, highlighting the need for better prioritization and focus.
ADVICE

Challenge Prioritization

  • Challenge the phrase "I don't have time" by reframing it as a prioritization issue.
  • Ask "Why?" to uncover the underlying reasons behind prioritization decisions.
ANECDOTE
