Next Level Podcast – Episode 107 – 4 minutes, 4 seconds.

Time is limited for every one of us and for that very reason making the most of our time is essential part of living a successful life.

We live in a time where there has never been more distractions.

Because we have more distractions than ever the ability for us to focus is valuable as ever.

Recently I discovered a simple and powerful framework for sharpening your focus which involves two main components:

1. Identifying a Specific and Measurable Objective for Your Business
2. Tracking your time for 100 hours to ensure you are staying focused and making progress

It’s that simple.

Some people prefer to track one half hour at a time but I find one hour time increments works best.

These are the four columns I use for my time tracking spreadsheet:

Date & TimeActivityValue or Waste?Progress Made on Main Objective?

The Reason This Works

This tracking system works because what gets measured gets managed.

Forcing yourself to track your time will encourage you to spend more time adding value, and eliminate wasted time.

The way I work this system is with the free web app: Google Sheets.

By using Google Sheets I can easily track my time on my computer.

Typically I will have my time tracking spreadsheet open in a browser tab if I am online.

There is also a free Google sheets app you can download so you can track your time easily on your phone.

Enjoy!

Conclusion

Track your time for 100 hours and see if this strategy works wonders for you too.
