If you don’t feel fully in control of your time and your schedule, you are not alone.
Most people want to level up their focus, time management, and where they’re spending energy.
Do you need breakthrough in the area of time management, focus, task lists, personal values, and/or work-life integration?
Do you need a quick dose of motivation, inspiration, and actionable advice to get you re-focused?
Benjamin Franklin knew how to rock a schedule
Check this out…
I love how open and simple his schedule was. Tons of margin. A few big blocks of uninterrupted, focused time.
Though his schedule had structure and routine, it was also very forgiving to all the nuances and variables that each day’s unique tasks and priorities bring.
He had only six blocks of time scheduled each day:
- Getting ready for the day: shower, breakfast, personal study, and prepare for work (3 hours)
- Morning work (4 hours)
- Review of current projects and to eat lunch (2 hours)
- Afternoon work (4 hours)
- Dinner and rest and wrapping up the day (4 hours)
- Sleep (7 hours)
So simple, yet still structured and helpful.
From time to time I take a look at my own routine to make sure it’s serving me well.
Having a daily routine helps ensure that the minutes don’t get away from you. It helps you avoid squandering your time.
Many people kick against the idea of structure or routine or a schedule. I certainly used to. But in truth, a routine like Ben Franklin’s is extremely empowering — it’s actually liberating.
You will do your best work when you’ve found a way to live within constraint. Having themes and a focus for your time each day.
Moreover, you’ll also find that it removes much of the stress between your work life and personal life.
The secret to all of this is found in your daily routines and habits.
And I’d love to teach you more about how to build habits that line up with what matters to you (in every area of life)…
