Impactful hours

The Wealthy Gardener discusses the idea of how the most productive people take advantage of maximizing their time by adding impact hours and minimizing the amount of hollow hours throughout their day.

We all have the same amount of time in the day, but clearly some people have more impact than others. Clearly some can accomplish more in the same amount of time than others.

Why is this so?

It is because they use their hours more effectively to create better results. Even though they have the same 24 hours as everyone else, they have fewer hollow (aka “wasted”) hours. What would an example of a hollow hour be? Watching Netflix, scrolling through social media, doing nothing to move you forward or achieve your goals.

Your goal should be to fill your day up with more impactful hours. What actions do you need to take to move the needle in getting you closer to your goals?

Mindset change to earn more money

How can we do more with less?

How can we earn more money in less time?

We need to figure this out, because eventually we all hit a limit for how much time we can spend doing something (time capacity). Instead of thinking “I make X dollars per hour, so I’ll just work more to make more money,” we need to focus on changing the type of equation we’re trying to solve.

It’s not a dollars for hours worked equation. It’s a dollars for impact equation. Focus on the big items that make the most impact and outsource the rest.
