Okay, so let's talk about actually building this thing called Time Wealth, right? I mean, we've talked about what it is, why it's important, but like, how do we *actually* get there?
So, what I've put together is basically a "Time Wealth Guide," and it's all about systems, like specific, high-leverage systems to help you build each pillar of Time Wealth. I’ve tried to back these up with, you know, clear research, and they're definitely battle-tested, 'cause I've used them myself! I'll share some of my own experiences with you as we go along.
Now, this isn’t a one-size-fits-all kind of deal. You don't have to read every single thing. Honestly, just browse through it, pick the stuff that feels relevant and useful to *you*. We all start in different places, right? I think that by the end of each section, you should be able to kind of customize things to make your own way through it, you know, choose your own adventure kind of thing.
As you’re thinking about, and actually putting these systems to work, remember that Time Wealth Score quiz? Yeah, use your answers there to really focus your attention. Pay close attention to the things where you strongly disagreed, or just disagreed, or even if you were just neutral. Those are the areas where you probably need to make the most progress. You know, the squeakiest wheel gets the grease, and all that.
Just a quick recap, what are we really shooting for? Well, we want to be deeply aware of how limited and precious our time is. We want to have a really clear idea of what our top two or three personal and professional priorities are. And importantly, we want to actually be able to focus on those priorities consistently, right? We don't want to feel constantly busy or scattered, unable to spend time on what matters most. And, ultimately, we want to be in control of our calendar and our priorities. That’s really the key to it all.
Now, on the flip side, let’s talk about what we *don't* want to do. These are like, Time Wealth anti-goals! We don’t want to spend too much time on low-value, energy-draining activities, right? Ugh, nobody wants that! We don't want to be so busy that we can’t spend time with the people who matter to us. And finally, we don't want to lose all the spontaneity in our lives in the pursuit of these big priorities. Gotta leave room for fun, you know?
So, alright, with all that in mind, let's dive into twelve, yeah, twelve systems that have been proven to help build Time Wealth. Here we go:
First up is the "Time Wealth Hard Reset." That's all about building Awareness.
Next, we’ve got the "Energy Calendar." This one focuses on both Awareness and Attention.
Then there's the "Two-List Exercise," which also helps with Awareness and Attention.
After that, we’re tackling the "Eisenhower Matrix," you might have heard of it. Again, Awareness and Attention are key here.

Now, let's talk about "Effective Delegation." This helps with both Attention and Control.
