My original thread was posted within our mastermind group forum when I asked something along the the lines of does anyone know how to make more time in a day, although I was somewhat kidding (who doesn't want/need more time), the following answer from Mike (RealOG) is excellent and worth sharing.
FROM MIKE
Time = Money
As your time becomes more valuable, it is worth more money. Start hiring out the tasks that are not worth your time.
If money is an issue, consider the following:
1. equity/profit share partners
2. interns
3. task-based contractors
You don't have to hire out for your business, hire out to do the simple bullshit of life like cleaning (maid service), grocery shopping (Safeway - Ingredients for Life), laundry (wash n fold services).
Your time has to be more valuable than those things.
The other options are reducing sleep, multi-tasking, giving yourself time limits. I find that my first hour is the most effective of any task. Therefore I dont spend more than one hour at any one task. If is takes longer, I come back and do it later.
END
I would like to continue the discussion out here in the main forum.
What do you do for more time if your time is valuable but funding is such that it is not prudent to spend? What factors do you use to weigh when to start paying for these other things? What are your ideas of ways to implement these ideas w/o spending?
