Two Words To Help You Level Up: Time Management.
Mastering time management, is what your impact on this planet will come down to. All human beings are born innately great. However, unfortunately, only some of us apply ourselves properly. Through poor time management, many of us fail to apply the greatness we have within. Instead, we let it go to waste.
The main way that we tend to fall short, is time management. Too many of us, waste the little precious time that we have and honestly, it’s hard to blame anyone for this.
Nowadays, everything is monetized online. Advertisements are everywhere. In 2026, the average human sees around 4000 to 5000 ads a day.
Pulling our attention in several directions at once. However, the starting point, or first goal that we all should aim for is simply being aware of how we spend our time.
Make no mistake, time, is one of our most precious resources. Time mirrors money, in that how we spend both time and money indicates what our future growth will look. In the same way that some of us keep track or pay attention to how we spend our money. By, for example, reading through our receipts, to be aware of how much we spent and how much things cost.
Never Ever Waste Time.
The reality is, we need to be doing the exact same thing, when it comes to our time. If you are committed to you and you love yourself, you should be spying on yourself. Okay, may spying is too strong of a word (lol), but you definitely should reflect on how you are spending your time.
Again, your time and your money are linked. Most of us have no generational wealth. Instead, we hope to be the ones that create generational wealth in our families for the first time.
If this lofty goal is to be achieved the one thing we can never afford to do is waste time. One of the greatest lines Cardi B ever rapped is, “I ain’t got no free time, all my sh** expensive“.
That one line, indicates the mental shift that every would be entrepeneur or money maker, needs to have. In a world ordered by Capitalism, it is next to impossible to ever get ahead if we are mindlessly, giving away one of our most precious resources (time).
The Three Ways We All Need To Spend Our Time: Work, Rest & Play.
Arguably, we have three main daily needs when it comes to our time: work, play and rest.
Conventional wisdom and/or science dictates that most human beings need between seven and nine hours of sleep every night.
Which leaves us with about sixteen hours left to divide between work and play. The last thing we are going to do is tell you exactly how to spend your time. That, is for you to decide. However, when it comes to your daily schedule, the million dollar question is how should you be spending your sixteen hours of awake time?
Most of us work for eight hours. Which means most of us have eight hours a day, that we can choose to spend how we want.
Our last article, included a video from Dr Angela Duckworth that included passion, as being a big part of what grit is. Arguably, if you managed to get your eight hours of work and rest in. The only thing left for you to do is have fun. Moreover, what better way to have fun, than to engage your passion(s)?
Additionally, with sleep being a non social activity. Your social needs will probably need to be prioritized somewhere in your eight hours of free time. Especially if you work somewhere that lacks camaraderie or healthy relationships between co-workers.
Time Management Is The Tool You Use, To Put Your Stamp On Life.
Nevertheless, we are all unique, have different passions, need different amounts of rest and do different things for work. Which means, how we spend our time is going to be different.
Life has diversity, built into it, sometimes we sleep well, sometimes less well. Which is exactly why time management and you creating your daily schedule, is a job best done by you.
You are the person best aware of your different needs and goals. So you are probably best placed to create your daily schedule. Once created, the results you achieve when you stick to your daily schedule should help you figure out whether your schedule needs tweaking.
However, the main thing is we all have to be conscious of how we spend our time. Being aware of what our different needs are and intentional with how we spend our time. Will empower us to be able to spend our time in a way that brings us closer to our goals sooner, rather than later.
Life Is Limitless, If You Can Master Time.
Arguably, by mastering how we spend our time everyday. We automatically put ourselves on course to having a productive 2026. Put a different way, the challenge is to have a perfect day, which then in theory makes it possible to have a perfect year.
Or, to slow down a bit, once you have a perfect day, you can have a perfect week. After that, the goal is to have a perfect month. Once that is under your belt, you are looking at taking mastering your day and turning it into mastering your year and potentially, your life.
If you can have a perfect day, you just need 364 more of those and then before you know it, the sky is the limit.
The great thing about all of this is, it brings the loftiest goals to being within your reach, through your daily schedule. It helps you to see how you can go from being a victim of wasted time. To productive and living up to your full potential, courtesy of, excellent time managment.
