    About this ebook

    Learn How to Put an End to Busyness and Finally Have More Time to Live Your Life on Your Own Terms

    "I don't have time."

    When was the last time you heard that or said it yourself? A few days ago? Yesterday? Today?

    Every day is full of things to do, people to see, and decisions to make. When do you get time for yourself and what you really want to do?

    Time is your most precious commodity – everyone only has so much – so why do you spend it like you have an unlimited supply? When the Grim Reaper finally comes for you, will you smile, remembering all the experiences you had that made you happy, or will you think back with a tear at all the "what ifs" you missed because you just "didn't have the time"?

    How to Have More Time will help you reclaim your time for you, your goals, and your sanity. Learn some of the tricks to make the time for a healthier lifestyle: have time to eat better food, exercise more, and surround yourself with the people that are good for you. Inside, you'll discover:

    - the biggest time-suck in your life and ways you can better deal with it (trends show more and more people are starting to get how big of a time-suck this one thing is – you're about to find out the what, why, and how),

    - how working harder is actually counter-productive and ends up taking MORE time (and learn what to do instead),

    - how to maximize your time to do everything you need to and still have time for yourself (yes, it is possible to have your cake and eat it),

    - how a materialistic lifestyle robs you of precious time and why it's a sure-fire way to attract unhappiness in your life (and what to do to have both more money and more time),

    - and the silent robbers of your time that do nothing but steal time from you (but don't worry, you'll learn how to overcome them).

    Take the journey through this book to cut away the unessential and maximize the use of your time.

    Discover how much time you could have for yourself to improve your quality of life, spend more time with your family and friends, or simply get to do those things you've always wanted to do but could never find the time for. The answers (and a better lifestyle) are waiting for you inside.

      About Martin Meadows

      Prologue

      I don’t have time.

      When was the last time you heard that or said it yourself? A few days ago? Yesterday? Today?

      Everyone is busy. Everybody wants more hours in the day.

      Nobody can afford to simply live because there are still so many things to do and oh I can’t stop it’s all so important.

      Chronic busyness creeps up on us like an epidemic disease. We work, work, work, and then it’s too late to realize that, as John Lennon sang in Beautiful Boy, Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans.

      If there’s one common complaint I hear on a regular basis, it’s I don’t have time. It makes me want to grab someone by the collar and yell in his face, get yourself together!

      What do you think is the most precious currency we have in this world?

      US Dollars?

      Try again.

      Gold?

      Nope, sorry.

      Perhaps real estate?

      Wrong answer.

      Time is the most precious currency we have in this world because it’s the only finite resource that you can’t buy. Everything else can be bought with money. If your time is up, your time is up – the Grim Reaper doesn’t accept credit cards, checks, cash, gold, or real estate, no matter how rich you are.

      Yet, so many people live their lives as though they’ll live forever. They’re so busy chasing money, they lose the only currency they have – their time and the freedom to spend it on the things that really matter.

      I don’t claim that money doesn’t matter, though. Unemployed people have all the time in the world, but they don’t have true time freedom, unless they’re a part of a forgotten tribe in Papua New Guinea where the concept of money isn’t as applicable as in the rest of the world.

      Once you’re past a certain level of income, though, chasing more money at the expense of losing what’s most important – your time – is a ridiculous decision that perhaps leads to more money, but at the cost of overall happiness in life.

      Numerous studies[i],[ii],[iii], [iv] have shown that happiness isn’t the function of things, but of experiences – and most notably time spent with family and friends.

      A major finding of one of the longest studies on the quality of life, the Harvard Study of Adult Development[v], is that good relationships affect our happiness the most.

      If you’re constantly busy, how do you expect to have close relationships? A constant lack of time is a recipe for unhappiness in life – and that’s just one of many reasons why busyness isn’t the answer.

      I refused to subscribe to the mindset of busyness. Instead, I structured my life in such a way that now I can do what I want, whenever I want (and no, the answer isn’t constant idleness, but it isn’t constant busyness, either).

      I wrote this book because I hate hearing people saying I don’t have time. I’ll give you practical solutions that worked for me that might also work for you – or help you come up with your own ideas that will help you get more hours in the day to do what you want, and not just do more.

      In the following pages you’ll learn what you can do to regain control over your time. We’ll:

      - explore the biggest time suck in your life and cover some practical ways to deal with it (trends show more and more people are starting to get it – you’re about to find out the why and how),

      - how to live a distraction-free life, or at least not let the distractions take over your entire day,

      - how a materialistic lifestyle robs you of precious time and why it’s a sure-fire way to attract unhappiness in your life,

      - learn why exhaustion doesn’t equal effectiveness (and even though it sounds obvious, you most likely also act in a counterintuitive way),

      - how to structure your lifestyle for maximum time freedom – including both big and small life decisions that make all the difference,

      - discover numerous unconventional ideas to create more time (and no, I will not share with you time management techniques that will
