So let's now talk about how you can master your time. How can you become more productive? And how can you deal with this task that you have more effectively, so that you can free up your time and just have a busy life. The first advice I would like to give you is to first define the tasks that you want to do, the project that you have, or the goal that you have. Because if you want to master your time, it's all about mastering your goals. And I know that I'm saying that over and over again.

But you can see here that it's something that is common with the high achievers. So what I would like you to do is to take a piece of paper and write down what two main projects in your life are. For example, I wrote a book recently, it isn't here, it's mastery life. It's the book that you can, you can you can have, it's on mastery life, mastery life book.com and I had to write this book. So it was one of my favorite So I define the goal is to write the book. I know the goal that I had, it was about a life event.

And the goal that I had, it was about my website, and then I had about YouTube videos. So I had many goals that I have I define them. What I did is that I took an Excel sheet, and I wrote down, okay, what are the goals that I have my own for my website. So it's important that you know what you want to do. And when you have written something down, for example, you have a code that is written, you must ask yourself this question, am I 100% committed in achieving that goal? If you're not 100% committed, it's a waste of your time.

And literally, I mean that. So you want to be doing tasks that you really want to be doing? So just be careful with that. I know that some people say yeah, Alan, but I have this job here. I hate my job. I just have to do that.

I just have to do this task, say yes. But if you want to get a better life, you must start thinking In terms of what do you really want in your life, and setting the goal for what you truly want, and start taking action towards that. So that's why you need to master your time. Even if you are at work, and you work for someone, you can just ask yourself this question, what are the goals? What What is the mission that I have here in, in in my role? What are the goals that I need to accomplish?

What are my projects, and just by having more clarity on the thing that you have accomplished, you will be able to master your time. So it's about taking an Excel sheet and writing down all the goals that you have. Number two, it's about defining the tasks that you have and to prioritize them. So I take again, the example of this book. My goal was to write this book, the task that I had, I had to find this topic. I had to write the book.

I had to find someone to edit the book. I had some to find someone to print the book, and I had to find someone who would, who would Send the book and someone who would do the marketing. So these were my tasks. And I also had that for my website. I also had that for my YouTube videos for my life events, and alternatives that asked myself this question, what is the priority number one, the priority number one is to find the top. The priority number two is to start writing the book.

The priority number three is to find someone to copy to edit the book. So I just broke down my project that I had. So I took this big project of writing a book and I broke it down in small pieces. And basically I broke it down into milestones. So milestones are big things that you must accomplish in order to accomplish your main goal. So I encourage you to do is to take this Excel sheet and this is how you do it.

You take this Excel sheet to define your goals. And then you define the milestone the big actions that you must complete the big steps that you must complete in order to in order to To achieve what you want, and then you start prioritizing it. What I encourage you to do is the night before you look at all the milestones that you have at all the projects that you have, and you just ask yourself this question, what is really important? What do I really have to do here? And what is really important? What are the important steps that I must do?

And what I do the night before, I just sit down with this blank piece of paper, and I prioritize the tasks that I will be doing the next day, that doesn't that are in relation with the milestones and the relation with the goal that I want? Why do I do that the night before? Because the night before, I will ask myself the question, what are the actions that I must do? And what if I don't do that? And I arrived in the office, I would ask myself this question, what are the tasks that I want to do? And sometimes the tasks that I want to do are completely different from the tasks that I need to do, because there may be painful and comfortable so that's how I'm able to really do the tests that I must do the tasks that are really important.

So I really encourage you to prioritize your tasks in the night before you write it down before leaving the office. You just prioritize the tasks that you have to do the next day and say, Okay, these are the most important tasks. These are another one, then this one here, this one here, this one here. Why do we want to do that? Because the when you arrive in the morning, I would like you to start doing the most important tasks first. Why is that?

The reason is that we have a limited amount of willpower each day. And in the morning, you can imagine that it's full. And when it goes through the day, it diminishes. So if you want to do an important task at 4pm, you will have less less willpower. That's why I encourage you to when you're writing the office, you know your priorities and you start working on them. And then when it's when it's 234 5pm on its way You're a little bit maybe tired, and you don't have a lot of willpower, you can do tasks that are a little bit less important.

That way, you will be able to accomplish massive tasks and accomplish massive goals because you are working on the most important tasks first in the morning. Number three, I would like you to have 100% focus on one task. It means that when you are working on this project, you are working on this project. And the mistake that people have is that they try to multitask say, yeah, I'm doing a lot of things at the same time, but it doesn't work. So, when you are when you are creating that project, when you are writing that book, when you're doing that, you are doing that, nothing else. You are not also working on another project, you are just doing that.

Why is that important? Because if you focus 100% of your energy and your attention on one task, you will end state that we call flow. Flow is a state where you become productive, and you have good ideas and you are able to work freely, and it just flow. And I'm sure that you have already experienced that. It's a state where, like you're working, you're working like on fire, you're focused. And you can accomplish amazing things and you can accomplish massive things.

In order to enter this flow. It's important that you just do one thing at a time. Okay, so I encourage you, from now on, when you have the priorities of the task, and you have the first task, you try to remove the distractions. It means that you turn off the internet, you turn off your phone, you don't have any notifications that buzzes your phone, you just turn off the phone, you just try to not be disturbed, disturbed when you are working on your test. And I know this can be difficult because some people will say you have to have my colleagues. I have My emails, I understand.

But if you want to manage your time and master your time, it's important for you to find time where you can be 100% focused on the tasks that are really important. And that will give you the goal that you want. Because mastering your time, it's about knowing the tasks that are really important to you. And you must the test that you must do. And the tasks that are not important. And that's not that's not true all your responsibility, or it's not something that you want in life, mastering your time, it's about doing the tasks that will give you clues that will get you closer to your dreams.

So it's really important here and you must remove the distractions, what I encourage you to do is for him to turn off the internet if you don't need it, to block certain websites. When I wrote my book, I went to a room where the only thing that was there it was a small table and a computer and I didn't even even have internet on my phone. So I just sat there and I wrote the book like really quickly in a few months it was written just because I had the Single tasking. So enter this flow state constantly. I knew my priorities, and I had defined to go, and I removed all the distractions. So it's important that you learn how to remove the distractions.

If you work from home, and you say, Yeah, but I have my children who always come, just tell the children I know, it's I know, it's maybe it's maybe something that you're not comfortable with, but tell them, Hey, I have to work for this hour. Don't disturb me. Go play there. But don't disturb, I have to focus on this task. If you want to master your time and take massive actions to get closer to your dream. You must set boundaries with people.

And that's why when you are working, you are working. It means that you work eight, nine hours per day, I don't know how many hours you work, but when you're there you work. You try to single task as much as you can. And you remove the distractions. A great tip here. Not to be disturbed by people, is you just put earphones you don't have to put me But just the fact that having your friends people will interrupt you less often.

So this is one quick tip number five, it's about tracking progress. Something that works really, really well, well for me is that I have this Excel sheet. And when I complete a task, I just put, I just make it clean. Or if I have a to do list or have something like that, I just, I just cross it. Because at the end of the day, I say, Oh my god, I have accomplished this task. Like it's amazing.

And it gives gives me the confidence to say, Wow, I'm moving closer to my dreams. I'm accomplishing, I'm accomplishing a lot of things. And it's something that can really, really help you. So track progress is something that is really great. So you can do it. You can cross on this on a piece of paper, or just on Excel, you can just change or Mark completed and make a tree.

It's something that works really well. Just something that I wanted to add here with the distractions. It just came to my mind, what the heck is a distraction list? It means that when I'm working, I'm 100% focused on a task. And I say, hey, maybe I should buy this new t shirt. Instead of going online and looking for that new t shirt, I have a distraction list.

Basically address write down low, new teach new t shirt. And at the end of the day, I will take my distraction list and I will spend 15, half an hour one hour, just researching everything that is on distractions. So instead of stopping the tasks that I have, and looking for the new t shirt and and wasting a half an hour there, I just write it down so that at the end of the day, when I would have less willpower, I would just go online and do the things that are less important because I have prioritized my tasks, okay. responsibilities and the roles. And it's really important here to just understand what your responsibilities and roles are. Maybe you're an entrepreneur and you have your own company, or maybe you work for someone, or maybe you don't work at all, and just want to do is to start a new project.

How can you do that? It's important to understand what your role in the company is. It means that what are the what are the tasks? What is your mission? What are the three roles that you have in that company? Because if you work in marketing, and you work this is to do social media and to other things.

And then you have someone a colleague that comes Hey, can you help me with Finance? And it's not something that is related to role. Now it's up to you to decide. Are you going to say no? Or are you going to say yes to that person? And sometimes, it's better to say no, because if you want to mastery times about taking control back of your time, if it's not your role, maybe it's great to say no, I'm not saying hey, say no.

Say No. All the time. To everyone that comes and ask for help. I'm not saying that I'm just saying that you must be willing to say no to people, if it's not your role or your risk or your responsibility. And if it's their responsibility, you can remind them that it's their responsibilities. And it's not, it's not yours, you can just you can just tell them, and we'd set it a bit uncomfortable and people will hate me for that.

But if you want to master your time, it's about really focusing on your goals and how you can get there faster. I'm not saying don't, don't take it too. Don't don't help people. But I just saying, Hey, tell people, hey, I have to work in this important task until 3pm. After 3pm, I can maybe help you. We will see later.

You will I mean, you must be precise and laser focus with the tasks that you want. And what I encourage you to do also is to remove a delegate task. When you have written down your task and have prioritized them. Maybe there are tasks that you could delegate to someone, if you have an assistant of someone that can do this task for you, maybe this person won't do as well as you because we entrepreneur and you think that we only we can only do the job and no one else can. But it's not true. There are people who can do the job even better than others.

So what you can do is that find someone that you could delegate the task to, or you can remove the task, say, okay, is this that's really important is this that's really important. Like, if I don't do this task, what would happen, nothing will happen. Maybe I can remove the task. So as you can see here, it's a new way of thinking about how you can master your time. And it may make you a little bit uncomfortable, because you say, Here Island, but I want to have everyone in my company say if you help everyone in your company, you're not in control of your time. You're not mastering your time and you're not mastering your life.

So it's about just prioritizing, defining what you want. You break down into milestones and you make priorities, and you write down the tasks the night before, and you prioritize the tasks and when You're working, try to focus 1% of the time you remove the distractions, you track your progress, you cross on a piece of paper, or you make it green. On the Excel sheet, you remind yourself of what your roles and responsibilities are really in this company like, What? What do you what do you have to do to make that happen? And also you try to ask yourself this question, can I remove the task? Can I delegate the task?

Or should I say no? When someone comes and ask for help? It's not my role and my responsibility. Do I really want to help this person? Is Is it in my advantage to help that person? Should I have that person?

Is the question that you should ask yourself and don't always say yes, because you must master your time. Okay? Yes, help some people I would say I do it but it must really find the balance. Okay. Between mastering your time and helping some people because you want to be like human does not always say no, no, no, no has to say, Yeah, I can help you. But it will be at 4pm when I have accomplished that Okay, you're because you're always the priorities, your tasks, the priority is your goals.

And then if you still have a little bit of time or you want to have that person, you can do that. But I encourage you to do that at the end of the day. So that was it on how you can master your time.
