VIDEO SUBTITLES:

my father had 90 years but it seemed 93 years but it seems sure in his seemingly long life of 93 years it was short because it just seems like if we only had more time old testament gives us a view of some people who live to be five six seven eight nine hundred years old if i have a chance to ask i will ask how come we got short changed

wouldn't that be a good question if you had a chance to ask imagine seven eight nine hundred years to watch generation after generation after generation after generation stay healthy and well i mean you got to have you got to be healthy to make it to 900

you got to take your vitamins

i'm pushing the bible i'm pushing vitamins i'm doing good today

so the key is time is precious now let me give you bill bailey's description of time life is not just the passing of time life is not just the passing of time life is a collection of experiences their frequency

and their intensity

life is not just watching the clock tick away life is a collection of experiences

their intensity their frequency when my friend mark died at age 44 someone says that's young to die but what if he lived four lifetimes in one might not be too young so here's what it whatever the span of your life turns out to be here's what you want to fill it up with experiences and the intensity of those experiences

but now let's talk about the management of time here's one of the best ones we covered earlier when should you start building this hotel answer as soon as you have it finished now jot this one down on time management when should you start the day

as soon as you have it finished

plan the day the best you can leaving plenty of room for improvising and surprises and all the stuff that happens during the course of the day but if you've planned a good productive day now you start that day you can't believe how much more valuable your time will be don't start the day until you have it finished now here's the next one don't start the week until you've had it finished now to lay out a week is a pretty good challenge

next don't start the month

until you have it finished the places to go and the people to see and the productivity and the sales and the customers and the development and all the rest of what you want to accomplish during the course of 30 days don't start the month till it's finished and then here's the big one this is really challenging don't start the year until you have it finished to the best of your ability it can't be finished like minute by minute but in terms of the sweep of what you want to accomplish in the year 2002 make sure that that's set and ready to go by the time january 1st rolls around and it might get all upset it might get torn up and you do a new and you make so much progress the first 90 days that now you've got you've multiplied it all by two by three because that happened to me i thought wow here's how this is gonna be a great year by the time i'd finish the third month i'm rolling i'm sore and so many things are happening i revised my whole year's plan okay now jot this down approaches to the management of time here's the first one ignore the subject i mean that's good advice

don't let anything overly bug you because you remember now you don't have to do anything someone says well i got to get a handle on my time the answer is no you don't if you want to let it all go you can let it all go i mean this is good advice somebody says you ought you what you ought jot this down ignore all the you oughts or you should only if they're giving general information we should it's better to say if you're teaching we should not you should we should then you let me listen in without it being too confrontational if everyone did this see that would be great and then you give a person a chance to choose to do it or not to do it but when you start the you ought you ought now see if i don't now see we got some tension and maybe some problems so you oughts seem to always create problems when you're talking to your kids you say no if kids would do this not always saying if you did this if you did this life would be better but if kids did this life would be better it's like making a little talk and letting them listen in and then it's a little less confrontational it gives us a choice in one of my seminars here's what i teach all life form strives to the max of its potential except human beings all life form strives to the max of its potential except human beings
