We all have the same number of hours each day to accomplish our goals. Nobody, rich or famous, has more than 24.
How we use those hours determines our success. Today, I would like to get back to a discussion we've been having on this topic in ETR for years, most recently last April.
I want to cover the two most commonly asked questions on how to allocate time for maximum productivity:
- How many hours, in total, should I work?
- What sort of activities should those hours be devoted to?
In particular, I am interested in the number of hours that should be devoted to planning and preparation versus taking action.
I have always resented any time I've had to spend to get ready to do a job. I want to get to it immediately. I don't want to sit around researching the task, assessing potential problems, and then figuring out the best way to approach it.
This is especially true when I am inspired. Driven by some vision of what could be, I feel maniacally compelled to realize that vision as fast as humanly possible. People who work with me are sometimes stressed by my eagerness to get going.
I believe this drive to action has been a big factor in my success as an entrepreneur. But, in my early career, my disdain for planning and preparation was a major waste of time -- mine and that of those who worked for me.
