This is part 3 of the series on time management strategies from Tony Robbins.
These time management strategies help you live a more fulfilled life because, in actuality, they’re much more than techniques for managing time — they’re also tools for transforming the way you think.
Maximizing your resources in life starts with the right mindset, and these time management techniques help you teach yourself to focus on what matters to you in order to live a more joyous, productive life.
Tip #1 was to use the Rapid Planning Method [RPM] from Tony Robbins.
Tip #2 was to Chunk You Tasks into sensible categories
Tip #3: Use your N.E.T. Time For Action
Tony Robbins explains that N.E.T. stands for No Extra Time. N.E.T. time is the hours we spend each week on what are essentially mindless chores like commuting, walking, exercising, running errands or cleaning the house. Instead of letting this time slip by, why not take action with N.E.T. time?
Take a look at the average time that is spent towards some of these “chores” as per BLS American Time Use Survey and U.S. Census Bureau:
– Commuting to work: ~110 hours per year
– Running Errands: ~275 hours per year
– Sports and Leisure: ~1920 hours per year
– Eating and Drinking: ~450 hours per year
– Watching Television: ~1011 hours per year
Surprised? It‘s true… Here are two steps that you can follow to maximize the use of this unused/wasted time:
Step 1: Create a list of websites to visit, podcasts to listen to, and action items you can clear off your list during those otherwise mentally idle moments.
Step 2: Pick up one of those tasks from the list the next time you have that mindless chore and let it run on the background or do it
The best part about using your N.E.T. time is that while you are commuting to work (or doing something else), you are also feeding your mind and improving your life.
You’re doubling what you’re putting into those hours, and the yield is exponentially greater.

Tip #1 was mentioned in the previous blog.
It was to use the Rapid Planning Method [RPM] from Tony Robbins.
Tip #2: Chunk You Tasks Multitasking is the most inefficient thing you can do to yourself and to your goals and outcome.
Especially when you are doing complicated or unfamiliar tasks – because it takes extra time to shift mental gears every time a person switches between the two tasks.
But in reality that never happens. What Tony recommends is that you chunk the tasks that you do in your business.
You need to organize everything you want and need to do into categories that are manageable.
That way, even if you multi-task within that chunk you are not making a huge context switch.
Chunking tasks into categories are easier for your mind to handle, and they are aligned with your values, so you already know which tasks and goals are more important to accomplish first.
Step 1: Write down the “musts” for this week – the things that you have to get done.
Step 2: Examine the tasks for common themes. – e.g. Personal, Finances, Marketing, Management, Relationship etc.
Step 3: Once you have chunked them together, choose a time and day to do that particular chunk and do everything all at once.
Tip #3 is coming up in the next blog.

Tip #1: Use the Rapid Planning Method [RPM]
Always before doing anything you need to plan your path. Just like how you would launch google maps and ask Google for the shortest route to your destination, you need to plan where you want to go, why you want to go, and how you are going to go in your life.
RPM Stands For:
– Results Oriented: What is the outcome that you’re after? Be specific, define your goal in terms of something concrete that you can measure.
– Purpose-driven: Why do you want to achieve that outcome? Why is achieving the outcome a must for you?
– Massive-action plan: What do you need to do in order to reach your outcome? Brainstorm all the ideas for actions that you could do and choose one to three tasks that you can do every day for the next year to achieve the outcome you want to achieve.
Tip #2 and Tip #3 would be added in the following weeks. Look out for those blogs.
