505: Time Management: Life Is Long, Here's How To Get Your Time Back | Chris Croft

Conquer Local Podcast

Leading expert on time management and negotiations, Chris Croft from Chris Croft Training and Management joins us this week for part 1 of a 2-part series. He is one of the most viewed authors on udemy.com and on Linkedin Learning with 36 courses, 24,000 views a day, and 18 million students in total. His Negotiation Skills course on udemy is the most popular negotiating course in the world. This week he joins George Leith to discuss time management. Chris has this brilliant ability to make the impossible very attainable through incredibly clever tactics and his realist approach to taking on projects. We are all very busy, and time is historically known as being a "scarce resource". Let Chris guide you into finding its abundance in this week's episode of the Conquer Local Podcast.

Chris' 5 choices you have for getting more time:

1. Say no - ie. "I can't do it."
2. Negotiate - ie. "I'll do it, but only if this..."
3. Say yes and give it to someone else - ie. establish a trusted team you can delegate to (like Producer Bret for George)
4. More efficient systems - ie. standard emails to send, files, spreadsheets for automation etc.
5. Be less fussy - ie. is your input really going to impact output enough to justify your time and energy expense? If not, don't sweat the details.
