Highly effective people do the things that low performing people do – sleep/shower/dress/drink coffee/drive to work/do the necessities/eat/repeat.
But it’s in the spaces in between that they separate themselves from the pack that squanders time and opportunity.
When you’re on a mission – let no bit of time be lost.
What do you do with your spaces?
I saw an excellent example of this in action when I visited Jesse Waltz at JES. Not only did he model this discipline but he set an expectation for his leadership to do the same. I drove away after a two day visit with a lot of changes to make not only in myself but also to set expectations for my leadership team as well. If your not on a mission, there is no urgency.

For a good conversation (and writing), refrain from a direct statement or description of what the audience has already figured out. Informational redundancy -unlike other forms -comes at a very high cost.
Curious to see what you consider to be squandering time.
We have families and friends and lives that need attention. We also need to keep our sanity by “shutting off” every so often, having alone time and not over-thinking constantly, lest we burn out too soon!
I realize that a lot of the time I am crisis oriented. Focusing the urgent need at the moment . I read this message in then I started to think about all the moments that I lose in the middle of the day. I found that I can get a lot of thinking done a lot of planing done in the time that I normally waste.
