Time management => life management.
Using the strongest instruments:
- speed reading,
- blind typing,
- listening to audio at 2x speed (this one stupid, but then, who knows - maybe, some crazy time?),
- foreign langs,
- doing a bunch of things at a time in the smart way (listening to audiobooks with kids while doing breakfast for them...).
80/20 - Paretto principle.
Stategy-tactics.
Thinking long-term.
Outsourcing.
Doing things out of the box.
List of things not to do.
Results programming.

5 stars:
-1 star: a lot of stuff glossed over (for example, the pond and the lilies - had there been not any of the prior growth days, the pond wouldn't have been covered by 50% during the last day),
-1 star: a lot of recycling,
+1 star: this recycling was concise.
Overall: 4 stars.

This is a great book full of passion and great tips to improve your business and personal life. Highly recommended for anyone chasing wealth and starting their own business.

[Linda · Rating 3 out of 5]

Nothing really new here. This book pulls together ideas from several sources elsewhere - and I'd advise you to go to these. It's very repetitive with lots of annoying typos and primarily focused on making money more than anything else.

[Whitney ♥ · Rating 2 out of 5]

So many pointless calculations.

Here's one - I could have saved 8 hours of my life NOT listening to this book.

[Emil Bredahl · Rating 5 out of 5]

5-5 stars to this fantastic book ❤️Life Leverage is an awesome book in so many ways and I am here going to explain just a few 😛 It is practical and filled with great ways to optimize your life and the way you work. It challenges you to look seriously at ways you do things, and also to jump into start leverages areas if you life. I do feel like the end of the book went a little over board and some of the information appeared to already have been talked about in earlier chapters or extremely simple stuff that all people know. Apart from these few irrelevant chapters did I enjoy the book. There is so gold to gain as we learn to maximize and cut away practices in our life that takes us away from our calling/mission.

Life focusing philosophy

[Toby White · Rating 4 out of 5]

I never thought I’d be the one for reading a self help book but I had had this on my reading list for a while so finally got to to reading it!

It has a lot of useful life advice, and even if you have no inspiration to be a serial entrepreneur than it’ll still help you make the most of your time and manage any available opportunities.

If anything, it’ll help you work better at work and spend more time focusing on what you want to do, without being taken along for a ride.

[Alina · Rating 2 out of 5]

Read Money by Rob Moore first hence found this book as a du location and not as insightful. He could have at least came up with a different examples and stories.

Spoilers:

2. The 3 Ms of emotions: Time management is life management and life management is emotional management. How you manage your emotions manage the results in your life. Take control of your emotion, accept balance of your emotions, control negative emotions, make strategic decisions rather than reactive you will have a live by design. Management of emotions: 1. Miss use of emotions is being affect of them have no control over them. Pattern: a.Feel strong emotion.b. React negatively to someone base on that emotions. C. Regret laler d. react again this is what spirals your life out of control. It blocks success and contributes to unhappiness and low self esteem. It’s not who you are, it just you don’t have conscious control over it. Focus on the important task at once. Know your energy levels, focus on the high value tasks. 2. Manage. A.Constantly plan and check in on your vision, values, goals KRIs. B.Do the important task first. Focus on a single task at hand be single minded . C. Do hard task and do them now. Eat that fat frog don’t let it manifest and get bigger and unmanageable. D. Manage your own time and don’t be pulled by others. E. Priorities ruthlessly without complaining, justifying. F. Vision and strategy task first then operational and others such as fire fighting tasks. Compartmentalise your diary with tasks that focus on vision strategy values. G know your Energy levels through out the day your highes and lows. H. Isolate yourself from distraction and create for efield time.3. Master, know yourself and manage your emotions, focus on the task.

3. Hard working delusion: Life leverage:
1. Choose the right job. If Current career limits you? You are in the wrong place.
2. Choose a job that also a passion.Outsource the stuff you don’t like.
3. Study lives of people you admire do. Mode and copy to get where they are. Get more done in less time and outsource low value tasks.
4. Know what to get going on and what to give up on. Give up on low values low returns tasks.
5. Live life using life leverage phylosophy and do what you know. Don’t get sucked in to other people plans for your life. Live life your own way on your terms on purpose with life leverage philosophy getting more done in less time. Outsource everything low value and create your ideal life.

4. The myth of balance: Merge your passions - job and passion. Do the things you love.Don’t do things or be things because other people expect you to be or do something. Let go of low value and unimportant things that do not serve your vision and values give it to someone who it aligns with they will be grateful for it; and you just say no. People going to judge you anyway so say and do what’s right for you maintaining grace and humility.

5. Pareto principle 80/20. Invest your time wisely invest it in key performance areas and income generated tasks. Avoid draining low level tasks and focus on maximum leverage. The main things that hold people back are:be overwhelmed; lack of believe; Information overload; fear.

6. The life leverage philosophy: Always twick your ways of doing, ask for feedback; Have alignment with your goals, visions OKRs; Find shortest and sustainable way to achieve your vision; who can you get to do it? Ask for suggestions before questions; Life leverage is about doing what makes you alive; living the most important live priorities to make money and to make a lasting difference; Life leverage is about maximising time on this planet, leaving legacy;

7. The law of compounding: More you stick with something more you will learn. What is the cost of change? It’s resetting it to zero again and starting over. Issues with resetting to zero: you may already not have a clear vision, you maybe distracted or lured by something looks easy from outside. The long term reality is poverty, lack self of worth and fulfilment. Each time you start is each time you need to grow new roots, restart by seeding, planting, furtalisong the process all other again. More it happens more you loose your confidence and ability to create compounding success and you will look for further short cuts to save you because you doubt your own ability, so the cycle continues. Brand and reputation

More you experience being overwhelmed , confused and frustrated less you get done. Finally you make a decision but it’s often a wrong one because you want to get rid of the pain. Such emotions block decisions and actions; they are nemeses of life leverage.
A)So where does overwhelming comes from? It’s when you are overcomes by mind and emotion; you bare it underneath. You feel overwhelmed when you try to meet imposes actions and deadlines by others; can’t handle a pace of tasks; brain can handle speed of learning; pressures to do to many things that are not important to you & you can’t see an end to them. You feel out of control of your tasks, time and life. how to get rid of overwelment? 1. Take full and personal responsibility (never blame, complains or justify because it’s nobodies fault that you do what you don’t want to do, your brain is falling into negative thinking) 2. Check your vision, your values and your key result areas. 3. Drop and let go, say no to anything that is not a key result area or income generated task. Be ruthless so no to anything that occupying your mind & time & isn’t KRI or EGT. They are all emergencies to other people or not a high priority or in line with your vision that dump on you. Add to subconscious knowledge that it’s guilt & it’s not progressing you. Where does overwelment behavior comes from? Ex. 1Are you unable or have difficulty saying a word no? You end up using your time to help them? Or you bit more than you can chew and can’t meet your own objectives? 2.are you unrealistic on what you can and can’t do? Are you scared to miss out on something? Identify it and let it go. 4. Priorities according to highest key result area and income generated task. 5. Focus single mindingly on one task only.
B: where confusion comes from? Is about lack of clarity in your life due to lack of knowledge, experience, to many options, unability to decide or priorities; doubting yourself. How to abandon confusion? 1. Check your vision, values & key results areas. 2. Drop, let go and say no to any non key result areas.3. Prioritise according to highest KRA 4. Decide now and take action on the first task.
C: where frustration comes from? Feeling of dissatisfaction, anxiety, depression resulting from unresolved problems or needs not being met. How to band distraction? 1. Stop biting yourself up 2. What does feedback tells you? What do you need to approve to move to higher level growth? Listen to your frustration, listen for what it is? Identify changes you need to make. 3. Check your vision values and key result areas 4. Prioritise according to highest KRA 5. Focus single mindenly on the task. 6. Allow yourself award celebration and feel good. Remind that other people will never achieve what you have.

[Jamie · Rating 3 out of 5]

Good book, easy to read and lots of actioable content. I enjoy the way Rob writes - lots of passion and easy to understand and digest.

I felt a lot of the writing could have been broken down and the book madr slightly shorter (about 250 pages and I'd say you probably only need half of that).

The philosophy that he presents makes a lot of sense and definitely motivates yu to get started in your busines ventures, although if that's what you're looking for I'd suggest Seneca's On the Shortness of Life as a way to make you get the most out of your time.

Overall, good book but there are books I'd read before this one

[Darren Phillips · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is an excellent read and I will definitely be implementing some of the methods that Rob Moore talks about in this book.
Time management and a balanced work / family lifestyle is something I have struggled to organise in the past but this book explains simple ways in which you can do this and have more spare time to do the things you love.
This book makes you look at the things you do daily that are time consuming and wasteful and explains ways in which you can streamline your time and create a more flexible and enjoyable lifestyle.
One of the best books I have read for a long time and I will be looking up more titles by the author. Highly recommended.

[Slava Oganezov · Rating 4 out of 5]

A useful book that teaches you how to manage your life to be most efficient. Its main points are: to prioritize highest value tasks and outsource everything else, to merge professional life with personal life and to plan your vision and actions top down. It covers few interesting concepts, such as 80/20, levels of money management, importance of letting go to let the business operate without you, monetary value of tasks etc.

[Ellie · Rating 5 out of 5]

A good, easy to understand book to inspire.
Really enjoyed reading it, quite quick to read and written with plenty of passion. I've picked up some good points I hope to implement in my own life, a few I already put into place.
I was lucky enough to win this on goodreads giveaways, for an honest review.

[Gregory Olczyk · Rating 5 out of 5]

The only bad thing about it is the fact it wasn't published 10 years ago so I could have read it back then. A must for anyone who wants to be someone and live the life they dream of.

4/5? Embracing life leverage is key to achieving your biggest goals. TBA come back to action notes.

To do:
- Neuroscience shows clutter overwhelms our limited cognitive bandwidth. Twice yearly, completely declutter your work and life. Purge paperwork, process your inbox, reevaluate commitments, prune to-do lists, unsubscribe from draining inputs, cancel unused subscriptions, and revisit your vision, KRAs, and IGTs. A clean slate renews focus.
- Use Time Models: Divide your day into time wasted (eliminate this), time spent (reduce this), and time invested (maximise this). Always ask, “What will deliver the highest return on time invested?” Prioritise endeavours with exponential upside.
- Leverage the 4 Ds: When looking at any potential task or commitment, decide if you’ll Do it yourself, Delegate it, Defer it, or Delete it entirely. Maintain a “to-leverage” list prioritizing tasks to outsource or automate.
- Sync all calendars, communications, and documents into unified cloud-based platforms. Implement automated email processing rules to streamline your inbox.

Notes:
- By mastering principles like strategic outsourcing, automation, and building remote teams, you can untether yourself from overwhelming responsibilities and focus solely on your highest-leverage creative pursuits.
- What people call time management is really life management – identifying priorities and allocating your efforts accordingly to maximise impact. If you can’t seem to balance all your commitments to focus on what truly matters, you don’t need more hours in the day. You need to start leveraging more effectively.
- Life leverage harnesses “time-related assets” like people, software, systems, and processes to allow you to invest the maximum amount of your personal labour in accomplishing meaningful goals. By outsourcing or automating lower-leverage tasks, you free up bandwidth for higher-leverage activities that move you closer to your vision. It’s a way to “cheat” and accomplish more than seems possible with the limited time available.
- The 80/20 principle states that 80 percent of results come from 20 percent of actions; leverage helps you consistently focus on that 20 percent of highest-leverage activities.
- To grasp the power of compounding, consider that if you added just one percent of leverage annually, you’d be over 30 times more productive after 30 years.
- There’s no point outsourcing work to free up time if you don’t have clarity regarding how you’ll invest that recovered time and energy.
- Nietzsche said, “He who has a why to live can bear almost any how.”
- A powerful leverage concept is “NeTime,” or No Extra Time – deriving multiple, compound benefits from single time investments. Examples include listening to audiobooks during commutes, taking calls while walking, hosting business meetings over meals, planning during travel, batching tasks like email, bundling errands together efficiently.
- You can even take NeTime to another level by “leveraging the leverage” – outsourcing pieces of the process. Hire a ghostwriter for your book, use virtual assistants to systematise repeatable tasks, let a videographer accompany you throughout a day and edit footage into content, etc. Squeeze every drop of productivity from each hour.
- Duplicating efforts is an incredible time sink. If you re-do just one hour-long task weekly, that’s over 2,000 hours lost across a 40-year career – time that could have been invested elsewhere.

Specific life leverage strategies can include:

Time leverage: See time as your most precious commodity, something to steward wisely. Batch tasks, apply productive habits, and meticulously capture and eliminate inefficiencies.

Learning leverage: The rich devote more time to reading and self-education than the poor. Invest in continual upskilling through books, courses, and mentors.

People leverage: Don’t try to do everything yourself. Leverage others’ complementary skills and strengths through partnerships, outsourcing, and team-building, as Bill Gates advises.

Money leverage: Move beyond just earning and saving money to having your money work for you through investing, speculating, and wealth protection strategies.

Ideas/Information leverage: Creatively repackage your knowledge and expertise into scalable educational products that generate passive income streams.

Давно книга у меня не вызывала такого явного отторжения и даже раздражения. Основная мысль: делайте то, что нравится, а то, что не нравится — не делайте. Серьезно? Спасибо, конечно. Автор предлагает отдать на аутсорс всю работу, которая не приближает вас к цели. А как заработать деньги на оплату аутсорса — не предлагает. Или я просто не дочитала до этого момента. «Если вы перегружены, скорее всего, вы отклонились от своего видения и ценностей. Сверьте с ними, напомните себе о том, что вас вдохновляет больше всего — и у вас появится план действий, на котором вы сможете сконцентрироваться». НЕ ПОЯВИЛСЯ

Куча аббревиатур, расшифровку которых тут же забываешь. Куча мыслей из разряда «Вы беспокоитесь? Перестаньте беспокоиться». Уйма утверждений о том, чем мне следует заниматься, а чем не следует. Вообще ни разу не советую.

[Marina Serozhenko · Rating 1 out of 5]

1. Интересные идеи есть, но они размазаны по тексту. В книге много воды, повторений одной и той же мысли, как в школьных сочинениях или университетских курсовых.
2. Текст в повелительном наклонении раздражает.
3. На протяжении чтения было ощущение, что автор хвастается, какой он молодец.
4. К автору чувствую только антипатию и нет никакого желания больше его читать.
5. Непонятно до конца, на кого рассчитана книга. Если на обычных людей, то советы "нанимайте личного помощника/исполнительного директора-отдавайте на аутсорсинг дела" выглядят странно.

Good book, it was mostly ideas repeated from other sources but compiled in a nice format that was easy to read. The author is very good at giving ideas simple names that are easy to sell. With that said, to book would have been more interesting if there was a backing by science and case studies - of which there were very few. More practical tools and real world examples would have helped as well.

Great book on how you could do more with your time. He talks about time leverage , people leverage, money leverage and people leverage. Also mention powerful leverage concept called “NeTime,” or No Extra Time – deriving multiple, compound benefits from single time investments. Examples include listening to audiobooks during commutes, taking calls while walking, hosting business meetings over meals, planning during travel, batching tasks like email, bundling errands together efficiently.

Really struggled with this book to start with. but I did get into the gist of it with a bit of persistence. Having said that there are many many examples of outsourcing that just won’t work for most people and the calculations of how much time and money you can save are fanciful at best. Still worth a read for the gems that are included and others I’m sure will find many useful gems included.

[Oleg · Rating 5 out of 5]

Book is a jam of tips how to make your life, how to improve it. Use every minute and mix joy with money making. For the first part of it I could find a step for myself. And it clicked in the second half. Don't drop it half way! Well worth to read. And lot's of actionable things to introduce to my life.

[Dennis Normile · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great book for people looking to get more out of their work time. It is the anti DIY anthem, and helds the reader understand why focusing on your core income generating tasks while hiring people to do other things is a mutual win win. I recommend it to anyone that feels like they have no time, especially businesspeople.

[Ellie Stevenson · Rating 4 out of 5]

A useful book on how to manage your time at work or in business. It has a lot of valuable tips and is definitely worth a read. I did find it a little prescriptive and the constant acronyms were somewhat annoying (although they are explained at the beginning) but the book does make you think about how you manage time and how you can work more effectively.

[smh · Rating 3 out of 5]

The book emphasizes focusing on one task at a time that aligns with your vision, delegating what doesn’t, and not hesitating to seek advice from experienced mentors and coaches. Its practical, action-oriented guidance and passionate delivery are strong points, but the content becomes repetitive at times, which makes it harder to stay fully engaged.

[PRY · Rating 3 out of 5]

Simple strategies. A little bit wasted on me as I've probably read too many of these sort of books but a good reminder of the things I need to stick to. Far too many acronyms. Otherwise great book and I still picked up a few new tidbits.

I think about 80% of this book could have been written in 20% of the words. I disliked the authors writing style which came across as arrogant. The book has some good ideas, e.g., outsource, give up on low priorities, say no etc, but overall I didn’t enjoy the read. Would not recommend.
