Do you feel swamped by the endless amount of work at the end of each day? Are you always short of time? Have you ever wondered why some people always seem to have 48 hours a day? Wonder no more. My moment of truth came when Todd Duncan taught me the concept of time investment!
Time investment. This term really needs to be popularized. I’ve lived with a strong belief in the concept of time management since middle school. And I hate to admit that it’s really just a myth!
Time Investment vs Time Management
So what’s the difference between the two? Why make such a big fuss? Here’s a table to illustrate this:
| Time Investment | Time Management | ||
| - | Term suggests that time is a continuous, unmanageable resource | - | Term suggests that time is a manageable resource |
| - | Based on concept of return on investment and the law of compounding | - | Based on concept of prioritizing |
| - | Returns can be measured | - | Not concerned with returns |
The greatest difference between the two is really the way you view time! As with all investment concepts, time investment emphasizes the returns from investing your time in your activities.
What’s Your Going Rate?
Concepts are always best taught with examples. The following example will give you an idea of what I’m saying.
Consider employees A and B. Employee A earns $7000 per month. Employee B earns $10000 per month. Looking at their monthly salaries, it’s obvious that Employee B commands a higher pay. What if I told you that Employee A works 40 hours per week while Employee B slogs for 66 hours per week?
Based on a four-week month,
| Employee A earns $43.75 per hour. | |
| Employee B earns $37.88 per hour. |
Now, who commands a higher hourly rate? One of the key concepts of time investment is about putting in rewarding hours like Employee A.
Of course, it isn’t always centered about money. Before I ruin your understanding of the topic, how about letting Todd Duncan do the teaching? Check out his New York Times bestseller – Time Traps: Proven Strategies for Swamped Professionals NOW!

B-A-A-mazing Notes from the Blogger:
You should really start to keep a mini personal library for yourself. Books are your assets. One puny book can often offer you mind-blowing concepts that will benefit you for life.That’s when you know that skipping that one movie for the book was really worth it.
