Time Is Money
That is a fact. Whether you’re paid by the hour, day, week, month, or year, sale, contract, piece, or the whole pie – time is something you must account for in your job. People always want more time and money, but they never seem to have enough of either. In fact, many people often end up spending more time than they expected because they don’t realize how much time has already passed. This can lead to problems because not only do you waste time, but you also lose money in the process. That’s what is referred to as a lose-lose situation, and while no one wants it, people do very little to deliberately plan for win-win days.
Procrastination Kills Progress
Procrastination is the number one reason people have less time and less money. According to a study published in “The Journal of Positive Behavior Interventions,” procrastination costs individuals an estimated average of $8,500 per year, AND it takes up more than one hour a day, on average. People often spend more time and money investing in quick fixes that promise more focus and less distraction to overcome procrastination. Meanwhile, the study’s authors suggest that the same interventions targeting procrastination could save people time and money in the long run. In the short term, these investments are just as costly as procrastination itself.
Money Is Time
Here’s the big idea behind Mark Hover’s “Million Dollar Day.” You set yourself up for success by seeing your priorities and obligations as, essentially, ways to pay your future self. It’s a mindset shift. The question he asks is, “If you made a list of EVERYTHING in your ENTIRE life that you have been procrastinating on (yes, everything) and someone said they’d give you ONE MILLION DOLLARS if you could complete the list in 24 hours — do you think you could do it?” Could you?
More Money Mindset
Tricky question, right? Maybe you could, maybe you couldn’t — so what gives? The million-dollar day has little to do with what you actually get done and more with what happens to your way of thinking. The minute you start shifting your mindset from getting things done because you have to into getting things done because you want to be more successful, you’re on to something. Here’s what happens:
- The more you do it, the more things you get done.
- The more you get done, the more successful you are.
- The more successful you are, the more money you make.
- And again and again …
