The 96 Minute Secret to Amplify Results

The greatest lever we have to change our lives is how we choose to use our time.

Time is the great equalizer. It is our scarcest resource. Everybody is given a brand new bottle of twenty-four hours at the beginning of each day. Some fall into the trap of concluding they don’t have enough time. There is always enough time for the most important things in life. We simply need to be intentional with how we use our precious time.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if you had a magic wand that instantly gave you more time?

Take a moment and think about what you would do if you had an extra day each week. Would you spend more time with your family? Would you go on vacation? Would you create a better business? How would you invest your extra time?

There is a magic wand that gives you extra time. You’ll gain power to have as much time as you want once you learn how to wave it properly.

The magic wand is called the Pareto Principle more commonly known as the 80/20 rule. The Pareto Principle states that we achieve 80% of your results from 20% of our work.

While the 80/20 rule on its surface is powerful, it becomes more powerful when level up the 80/20 rule. We achieve 80% of our results from 20% of our work. When we level up the 80/20 rule, we get 64% of our results from 4% of our work. Just think about this for a moment. We get the majority of our results from just 4% of our efforts.

Here’s how the math works.

80% x 80% = 64%

20% x 20% = 4%

Let’s look at the 80/20 rule applied to our time. If we work forty hours in a week, 20% of our time is eight hours which equals one day. We can get 80% of our results from how we use one day a week.

When we level up the 80/20 rule, we look at how we use our time during that one day. 20% of our time in a day is 1.6 hours or 96 minutes.

Think about that for a moment. 96 minutes out of the 2,400 minutes we have in our forty-hour work week. 96 minutes is a mere 4 percent of our weekly time.

How would your life change if you got the majority of your results in just 96 minutes each week?

The reason most people don’t get the results they want is they don’t harness the power of the way they use their time. Not you. You’re different.

Let’s amplify this and assume you only have 96 minutes to work this week.

If you only had 96 minutes to work this week, what would you do? What would be the critical MUST?

TAKE ACTION — Block out 96 minutes to work on those items in the next week. During those 96 minutes block out any distractions and lean in. Let me know what results you get.
