In his latest video, "This Is How I Manage My Time," entrepreneur and author Alex Hormozi shares his insights on effective time management, drawing from his impressive experience of generating $250 million in revenue last year. If you're looking to optimize your productivity without watching the entire video, we've summarized the key points for you.
Hormozi emphasizes that productivity is measured by the dollar output divided by the hours input—essentially, dollars per hour. He argues that if your busy week didn’t result in an increase in either of these metrics, you weren’t truly productive.
He categorizes individuals into two types: makers and managers. Makers require two to four uninterrupted hours to produce their best work, while managers can work effectively in shorter, 5 to 60-minute chunks. Depending on your current business phase, you may need to switch between these roles.
Hormozi advises that for managers, meetings can consume a significant portion of your day, costing you a full unit of time (15 to 60 minutes). Managers may have 20 or more slots available each day, and an empty slot can feel like wasted potential. In contrast, makers typically have only two productive blocks per day, meaning one meeting can take away 10% of their entire week. He suggests structuring your day based on your role: either dedicate the first half of your day to maker tasks and the second half to management, or alternate days between the two.
Finally, Hormozi stresses the importance of teaching your team the rules of engagement based on their roles. Managers should follow specific guidelines, while makers should adhere to a different set of rules to maximize efficiency.
By following these steps, you can enhance your time management skills and boost your overall productivity, just like Alex Hormozi.
