<v Speaker 1>Paul Fellavledo.

5
00:00:21.440 --> 00:00:25.160
<v Speaker 2>Hello everyone, and welcome to the seven Minute Leadership Podcast.

6
00:00:25.199 --> 00:00:29.480
<v Speaker 2>It's episode six oh six. Today's episode is You'll stay

7
00:00:29.519 --> 00:00:34.200
<v Speaker 2>average forever until you master these four powerful time rules.

8
00:00:35.119 --> 00:00:38.520
<v Speaker 2>Most leaders are not overwhelmed because they have too much

9
00:00:38.600 --> 00:00:42.000
<v Speaker 2>to do. They're overwhelmed because they have never been taught

10
00:00:42.039 --> 00:00:46.439
<v Speaker 2>how to control time without lying to themselves. Time is

11
00:00:46.479 --> 00:00:51.039
<v Speaker 2>not the problem. Discipline is the problem. Clarity is the problem.

12
00:00:51.560 --> 00:00:53.520
<v Speaker 2>Boundaries are the problem.

13
00:00:54.200 --> 00:00:55.280
<v Speaker 1>There are four.

14
00:00:55.280 --> 00:00:58.240
<v Speaker 2>Simple time rules. None of them are fancy, none of

15
00:00:58.240 --> 00:01:01.960
<v Speaker 2>them are new, all of the work, and most people

16
00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:05.920
<v Speaker 2>ignore them because they look too basic to matter, and

17
00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:10.319
<v Speaker 2>that mistake keeps leaders average. So let's break these down

18
00:01:10.359 --> 00:01:14.159
<v Speaker 2>and turn them into real leadership moves you can apply immediately.

19
00:01:14.920 --> 00:01:18.280
<v Speaker 2>The first rule, the eight plus eight plus eight rule.

20
00:01:18.760 --> 00:01:22.920
<v Speaker 2>Eight hours for you, eight hours for focused work, eight

21
00:01:22.959 --> 00:01:27.120
<v Speaker 2>hours for deep, guilt free sleep. This is not a

22
00:01:27.159 --> 00:01:31.760
<v Speaker 2>lifestyle quote. This is an operating system. Leaders love to

23
00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:36.560
<v Speaker 2>brag about grinding late nights, early mornings, running on fumes.

24
00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:41.200
<v Speaker 2>That is not leadership that is poor energy management dressed

25
00:01:41.280 --> 00:01:45.000
<v Speaker 2>up as dedication. If you do not protect time for

26
00:01:45.079 --> 00:01:49.680
<v Speaker 2>your body, your relationships, and your mental reset, your decision

27
00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:55.519
<v Speaker 2>quality drops, your patience shortens, your communication gets sloppy, your

28
00:01:55.599 --> 00:02:00.400
<v Speaker 2>leadership presence erodes. So your action step look at your

29
00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:04.480
<v Speaker 2>calendar this week in block time that is non negotiable

30
00:02:04.519 --> 00:02:09.319
<v Speaker 2>for you, not left over time, scheduled time. Treat it

31
00:02:09.400 --> 00:02:12.759
<v Speaker 2>like a meeting with your most important stakeholder, because it

32
00:02:12.840 --> 00:02:17.400
<v Speaker 2>truly is. The second rule, the one three five rule.

33
00:02:18.240 --> 00:02:22.759
<v Speaker 2>One massive goal that scares you, three key tasks that

34
00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:27.039
<v Speaker 2>move you forward, and five quick wins that clean up noise.

35
00:02:28.039 --> 00:02:33.360
<v Speaker 2>Most leaders fail because everything feels important. When everything matters,

36
00:02:33.639 --> 00:02:38.599
<v Speaker 2>nothing moves. Your one massive goal is the anchor. If

37
00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:42.319
<v Speaker 2>it does not scare you, it's not big enough. This

38
00:02:42.520 --> 00:02:46.000
<v Speaker 2>is the thing that actually changes your role, your income,

39
00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:51.199
<v Speaker 2>your impact, or your future. The three key tasks are

40
00:02:51.240 --> 00:02:56.120
<v Speaker 2>the moves that push that goal forward today, not someday today.

41
00:02:57.080 --> 00:03:02.960
<v Speaker 2>The five quick wins are maintenance, email errands, paperwork necessary,

42
00:03:03.280 --> 00:03:08.319
<v Speaker 2>but not leadership work. So your action step start every

43
00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:12.240
<v Speaker 2>morning by writing your one three five on paper, not

44
00:03:12.360 --> 00:03:16.159
<v Speaker 2>your phone. Paper slows you down enough to think clearly.

45
00:03:17.319 --> 00:03:21.560
<v Speaker 2>The third rule, the ten minute rule. Ten minutes of

46
00:03:21.719 --> 00:03:26.560
<v Speaker 2>deadly focus, two minutes of rest, and then repeat. This

47
00:03:26.719 --> 00:03:32.800
<v Speaker 2>rule exists for leaders who struggle to start. Procrastination is

48
00:03:33.280 --> 00:03:37.840
<v Speaker 2>not laziness. Its resistance ten minutes is small enough that

49
00:03:37.919 --> 00:03:41.000
<v Speaker 2>your brain cannot argue its way out of it. Once

50
00:03:41.039 --> 00:03:47.479
<v Speaker 2>you start, momentum takes over, focus sharpens, confidence builds, work

51
00:03:47.719 --> 00:03:52.360
<v Speaker 2>gets done. So your action step pick one task you've

52
00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:56.560
<v Speaker 2>been avoiding, Set a timer for ten minutes, phones down,

53
00:03:56.919 --> 00:04:02.439
<v Speaker 2>notifications off. When the timer ends, stand up, breathe, reset,

54
00:04:03.199 --> 00:04:07.520
<v Speaker 2>and then go again. The fourth rule is the ninety

55
00:04:08.240 --> 00:04:13.840
<v Speaker 2>ninety one rule. Ninety minutes for ninety days on one

56
00:04:14.360 --> 00:04:19.720
<v Speaker 2>life changing goal. This role separates leaders who dabble from

57
00:04:19.839 --> 00:04:24.800
<v Speaker 2>leaders who transform. Most people scatter their effort a little here,

58
00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:32.639
<v Speaker 2>a little there, Progress stays shallow. Depth wins, consistency wins.

59
00:04:33.319 --> 00:04:37.600
<v Speaker 2>Time focused on one thing compounds fast. So your action

60
00:04:37.720 --> 00:04:42.240
<v Speaker 2>step identify your one life changing goal for the next

61
00:04:42.319 --> 00:04:46.160
<v Speaker 2>ninety days. Schedule ninety minutes on your calendar at the

62
00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:50.600
<v Speaker 2>same time every day. Protect it like a command decision.

63
00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:56.920
<v Speaker 2>And here is the leadership truth underneath all four rules.

64
00:04:57.879 --> 00:05:06.360
<v Speaker 2>Time reveals priorities, Calendars expose honesty, excuses, hide fear. Average

65
00:05:06.439 --> 00:05:11.519
<v Speaker 2>leaders react to time. Strong leaders command it. You do

66
00:05:11.560 --> 00:05:15.639
<v Speaker 2>not need better hacks, You need better standards around how

67
00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:22.920
<v Speaker 2>you spend your minutes. If you want to lead at

68
00:05:22.959 --> 00:05:29.120
<v Speaker 2>a higher level, stop negotiating with yourself. Pick one role

69
00:05:29.240 --> 00:05:33.920
<v Speaker 2>from today's episode and apply it for the next seven days.

70
00:05:35.000 --> 00:05:40.000
<v Speaker 2>Watch what changes in your energy, your focus and your confidence.
