I'm a big believer in Tony Schwartz' approach to time and energy management. Definitely read his book "The Power of Full Engagement." A big concept he covers is the body running on different rhythms.

Our attention and energy is like a rhythm We use it and then we need to replenish it. This is the underlying principle I build my entire work day around. As soon as I arrive at my office, I know exactly what I need to do.

In the morning I always focus on the most important things first. This is when my energy is at it's peak level. In my business, it's all about creating content and finding new ways to market. I focus my life on these things overall, but especially first thing in the morning. I know I'm always going to focus on these areas right away. I also know specifically what I need to do because part of my "end of work day" routine involved making a to do list for tomorrow and tying up any loose ends before I leave.

When I sit down at my desk in the morning I get started right away. I shut the door to my office and make sure nobody bothers me and I go to work.

The routine I use is very simple. I work in blocks of time. Then I relax to renew my energy. Here's the breakdown:

I go 50 minutes on - then 10 off. During the ten off I may meditate, refill my water, hit the john, read, and just take deep breaths. Then I do another 50 minutes of busting my ass, and I follow that up with a 30 minute break where I have some type of meal.

So it's 50 on , 10 off, 50 on, 30 off with meal. This is the basis I use for my entire day. In the afternoon I take a 20 minute nap. I have a really comfortable couch in my office and I crash on it to renew my energy. I do this all day, every day.

It's all about living intentionally. I have a purpose. There's a set of goals I've laid out that I need to accomplish. I need to do certain things to achieve them.

Most people live life unintentionally. Life "happens to them." Having a goal isn't enough. If there's no execution laid out, you won't get where you need to be.

The business I am in is great because it allows me to totally be strict to this. Some of my future endeavors will, without question, provide more unpredictability. I'll just adapt the system to it.

Focus

Everything I've been talking about sounds pretty good right? I can tell you from experience it's great and it works, but at the end of the day can you execute? Your ability to manage yourself comes down to one simple area: FOCUS

When you arrive on the job and start your first 50 minute block, do you stay focused on what you need to get done or do you get distracted? I hate to be cliche but life in our world today runs at a crazy pace. One second you're reading a business email and before you know it you're looking at some ridiculous topic on Wikipedia and then your watching a video on YouTube.

Your ability to focus in on one task you need to do and actually execute is very important. The best way to avoid massive distractions is to create a great environment. You want to be totally honed in on what you need to do.

Multitasking is one of the most unproductive time wasters around. By focusing on the task at hand and not reading a text message, or checking an email, or browsing the web at the same time you will be much more effective and get way more out of the activity.

By putting yourself in the proper environment you drastically reduce the chances of you getting thrown off course. Ideally you want each block you work in to be dedicated to one specific or a few related tasks. Don't try to talk to a customer on the phone or via email and build a new product in the same block.

You'll want to close down all other distractions. Communicate to everyone else you are not to be bothered. I shut the door to my office and everyone knows not to disturb me. I shut my cell phone off and close every program on my computer than is not related to exactly what I'm doing.

At that point in time, nobody can get a hold of me. I know exactly what I need to do and I just execute. When the time is up, I wrap up what I'm doing and completely remove myself from it. When the next block starts I'm not thinking about the past block. I'm totally engaged in that moment.

I know that the most profitable way to spend my time is working on marketing my business. It's the most high leverage activity I have at my disposal. Everything I've created in my business is totally centered around and supportive of me marketing the business. That's how I get paid. I don't want to deal with tech hassles, customer support, or any other operational issues. I only focus on what's important. Try to design your environment based on what is important to you.

When it comes to email, phone calls, and any other ancillary activity that I ABSOLUTELY have to personally handle - I dedicate a block of my time to handling this. Then I cut it clean, and don't go back until the next scheduled session. Nothing is more unproductive than trying to work all day and interrupting yourself by checking for new messages.

You want to focus on high leverage activities ALL DAY because this will bring you closer to your goals much faster.
