Hey! It’s Brian here. Before we dive in, I wanted to announce the launch of my new book, The Lonely CEO on Amazon. You can pick up a copy below:

Time management isn’t about doing more—it’s about doing what matters.

The pressure to cram everything into your day is real, but quantity alone won’t move the needle.

Do this instead:

The secret to effective time management? Prioritization.

It’s not about crossing off every item on your to-do list; it’s about focusing on the tasks that align with your goals and values.

Quality over quantity should guide every decision about your time.

When you dedicate focus and effort to your highest-priority tasks, you achieve results that actually matter.

Deep work is the key.

It’s not about being busy—it’s about immersing yourself in tasks that demand focus, creativity, and discipline. That’s where real progress happens.

Time management isn’t about packing your day with endless tasks.

It’s about making deliberate choices, saying no to distractions, and allocating your energy where it counts most.

The goal isn’t to do everything; it’s to do the right things.

When you focus on what truly matters, you’ll see meaningful results in both your work and your life.

I’ve coached hundreds of business owners, helping them reach their goals and become the best entrepreneurs they can be.

3 Tips

Use The Eisenhower Matrix: To use the Eisenhower Matrix, draw four quadrants on a piece of paper. The top two quadrants are important, the bottom two are unimportant. The left two quadrants are urgent, and the right two are not urgent.

You’re only going to do tasks that fall in the top row of importance. You’ll do the urgent and important tasks immediately. Then, you’ll schedule the important but not urgent tasks. The non-urgent but important tasks you will delegate to someone else, and the unimportant and unurgent tasks don’t need doing.

Say No More Often: During your regular reviews of your values, get clear on what matters to you. This will help you filter what you should commit to.

We all find ourselves being asked or nudged to accept a task or obligation countless times per week. The clearer you are on what you are about, the more often you should find yourself saying no.

Drink More Water: Seriously, you’re probably not drinking enough water. Make sure you adjust your water intake for your physical activity for the day and how many dehydrating drinks you’ve had that day (like coffee or other caffeinated drinks), too. Mineral water is best, whether you buy it bottled or add essential minerals to your filtered water, and will actually help you stay hydrated longer.

You’ll be surprised at how much clearer you can think and how much better you can focus when your body is properly hydrated.

The Richest Man in Babylon, by George S. Clason: This book is considered a classic by many in the financial space.

Although it goes over financial basics, it does so in a fresh way that helps them sink in. Through short stories, the author explains financial principles that help people build wealth. While focused more on the individual, there are still good principles for the entrepreneur and business owners.
