Summary

Too many of us live our lives trying to shoehorn our many activities and responsibilities into too few time slots available. Increasingly for business people, fathers and mothers, even kids, (ineffectively) managing the myriad of activities has become an all-consuming chore. And we're so stressed that our relationships and job performance suffer. Why? Because we organize our time and our lives poorly: We spend five years of our lives waiting in lines, three years in meetings, and two years playing telephone tag! We get interrupted 73 times per day, interfering with our productivity, and take an hour of work home every night, interfering with our family time.But we can solve these problems. This book presents 151 quick and easy ways to meet these challenges in our daily lives. Each idea comes from the real world experiences of people like you--people who are experimenting with, examining, and discovering unique solutions to the time problems all of us face every day. These tried and tested ideas work! And now they are available to you. Select those that fit your particular circumstance and try them out! Here are a few:Start Your Day the Night BeforeUndercommit and OverdeliverOrganize Your WorkspaceBlock Contingency Time Every DayUse Voice Mail as a Call ScreenerFight SPAM with an E-mail BlockerDo more in less time, take control of your schedule, and create a new balance between your work and your family life.

    One of the biggest issues preventing us from reaching our goals is distractions that can hinder our focus and ability to do our best. Distractions can lead to us losing focus on our goals and cause us to do other things that prevent us from completing tasks and achieving success. 
    We’ll then make excuses on why we didn’t complete tasks on time. Excuses are commonplace among virtually everyone, especially entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurs in particular can make excuses for why they don’t get something done because they have no real boss to answer to except themselves. 
    Unfortunately, this can lead to a pattern of constantly being late with projects and tasks that you want to complete, leading to you not succeeding with your business or to the level of success you expected in your personal life. 
    You have the power to control your environment, as well as control the motivation you have for completing the tasks and projects that need to be completed. Ask yourself how badly you want to succeed? Do you really want to succeed? Are you really willing to do whatever it takes to ensure you succeed?  
    The point is that virtually every problem or situation can be solved if you have the motivation and desire to do so.  
    If you have the desire, you can learn the skills that are needed to build and maintain a profitable business. If you have the desire, you can find and/or hire the help needed to build and maintain a profitable business. If you have the desire, you can overcome the noise and other distractions an entrepreneur faces when he/she attempts to build and maintain an online business.  
    This video course has been converted into an audio course that you can listen to any time, developed to help you eliminate excuses, overcome procrastination, and attain higher levels of success as an Entrepreneur.

    Uri Gneezy and John List are like the anthropologists who spend months in the field studying the people in their native habitats. But in their case they embed themselves in our messy world to try and solve big, difficult problems, such as the gap between rich and poor students and the violence plaguing inner city schools; the real reasons people discriminate; whether women are really less competitive than men; and how to correctly price products and services. Their field experiments show how economic incentives can change outcomes. Their results will change the way we both think about and take action on big and little problems, and force us to rely no longer on assumptions, but upon the evidence of what really works.
