July 29
7 mins

Episode Description

If you've ever wondered why no planner, calendar, or productivity system seems to give you more time, this episode explains why.

Ann Rusnak introduces the concept of time leveraging and shows how it differs from traditional time management. Instead of treating every task as equally important, you'll learn why a small percentage of your activities creates most of your results—and how recognizing the difference can change the way you work.

Drawing from her own recovery from burnout and the lessons she learned from the 80/20 Principle, Ann shares the simple exercise that became the foundation of her time leveraging approach.

In This Episode You'll Learn:

  • Why time management eventually stops working for many established business owners.
  • What time leveraging means and how it changes the way you think about your day.
  • How the 80/20 Principle applies to your business, your time, and your life.
  • Why not every activity deserves the same amount of your time and attention.
  • The simple rating system Ann used during her recovery from burnout.
  • How identifying high reward, high profit, low reward, and low profit activities helped her accomplish more while working less.
  • The first step you can take today to start leveraging your time.
