| Overview | If You Value Your Life - You Will Value Your Time
We've learned over the years that the fastest way to improve something is to get help. Many times we need external resources for motivation until our internal motivation kicks in. That's why folks hire a coach.
And that's why we've created this tool. We have created a easy way to build awareness of your life while improving your time management & productivity by using simple behavioral neuroscience.
The other principle we're using with this tool is self-coaching. This approach focuses on empowering individuals to become self-directed and self-motivated in achieving their goals. The tool itself fosters internal motivation and a different internal dialogue to make different choices.
Additionally, the design of this tool provides a daily feedback loop for continuous micro improvements. Here we're employing the principle of the 1% edge - if you can improve by 1% a day, you can double your effectiveness in 70 days.
By the way, the format can certainly be employed and customized without the purchase of the book through - for example - a specific journal layout. However, there is something to be said for the challenge of filling in and completing something. Then, having a written record of it. Plus, it saves time to have the full 60-day layout done for you in a format that is portable.

Part 1: The Time Side
_Chart out time usage: take time periodically through-out the day to chart out how your time is being used – practicing self-observation.
_Build time awareness: become aware of time as it is passing. You can do this in blocks - increments of a ½ hour or hour.
_See your work in time blocks: this helps to see time more realistically in terms of how long events & tasks for better planning.
_Build decision awareness: notice what kind of decisions you’re making related to how you are using time. What is getting your attention?... and for how long?
_Daily alignment: Was time spent aligned with what you wanted, including overall vision and strategy?
Note: There is extra space in the top and bottom margin for opportunities to customize. For example, the top margin could be used that for your Morning Moment – establishing an intentional mindset through a thought, an area of focus, a motivating mantra, or a quote.
Part 2: The Assessment Side
This is where you assess and record:
-How your day went
-Comments on how you used your time
-Was it aligned with intent or strategy?
-The decisions you made and why
-What can be improved tomorrow?
-What would you like to be different?
The daily discipline of observing and assessing is key here. You cannot change, what you do not see.
This is an overview of suggested options on how to use the tool.
