We start every day knowing we’re not going to get it all done. And we look back on the years and wonder where they went and why we haven’t accomplished what we had hoped. Time is the only element in the world that is irretrievable when it’s lost. Lose money and you can make more. Lose a friend and you can patch up the relationship. Lose a job and you can find another. But lose time and it’s gone forever. 18 Minutes provides a comprehensive approach to managing a year, a day, and a moment so that our lives move forward in a way that keeps us focused on, and doing, the things we decide are most important. The system structures your daily life through an 18-minute ritual: 5 minutes in the morning to plan priorities onto your calendar, 1 minute each hour to reset and recommit to your goals, and 5 minutes in the evening to review lessons learned and maintain key relationships.
