Let’s face it we all want more time in our life to get more done, be more, do more and have more.The thing is, we are all given the same 24 hours in a day as everyone else.So why is it then that some people are just so much more efficient at squeezing more out of every moment of every day? Well they have a few secrets up their sleeve that you should know about. 1. Get up an hour earlier. 2. Use Sunday evening for planning the week. 3. Say no. (the power of constraints). Ignore. Focus only on the thing you’re looking to achieve. 4. Turn off your emails on your phone. 5. Don’t say should, say “I will”. Think like Yoda “There is no try, there is only do or do not.” 6. Don’t answer the phone. Literally. If it’s important they’ll leave a message. 7. Plan your day according to the most important, biggest task, not the smallest and easiest. 8.
