Stressed? Drowning in to-do lists? Busy but going nowhere? You don't have a time problem. You have a priority problem. Time management is a lie. I'll show you right now the exact secrets and system I use to get 10 times more done in half the time. You know, I get this question over and over again because I do more. I get more done. I get more accomplished before noon than most in one day. than most people do an entire week. And I've known guys for 30, 40 years, and they always say this. They say, Kevin, you just have this unique ability to get things done. Get cycles started and completed.

You bring cycles to a completion. You get the ball across the finish line. You score the goal. You finish cycles. You accomplish tasks. You reach. your goals, you get things done and get them done under budget and I had a schedule. It's not a unique inability I have. It really isn't. It's a skill. It's a specific technique.

And it goes back to what I learned when I heard the story of a guy named Ivy Lee. Ivy Lee was a business consultant back at the turn of the century in the early 1900s. Andrew Carnegie, the richest man in the world at the time, had just sold his steel empire to J.P. Morgan, and they formed U.S. Steel. The first president of U.S. Steel, which was the largest corporation in the world at the time, was a guy named Charles Schwab.

No relation to the Charles Schwab Investment Company. It just happened to be his name. But there was no connection. So Charles Schwab was a young man, probably in his early 30s, and he was the president of the largest corporation in the world U.S. Steel. He was overwhelmed. He had so many people coming to him, so many tasks that he had to do. He had a to-do list that was like many pages long. He said

he would come in really early in the morning. He'd work all night sometimes till 9, 10 o'clock, now I'd go home to see his wife. He would be stressed out. He'd work on the weekends. And he just never seemed to get and accomplish everything done, to get everything done. To get everything done or accomplish what he needed to get done. And he always seemed overwhelmed. Some of you probably feel the same way. So he heard about this brilliant management consultant named Ivy Lee. And he said, Ivy Lee, come in. And he told Ivy Lee his problem. Ivy Lee said it's not uncommon. It's probably, you probably have more overwhelmed than most people, but it's not uncommon. You can have a small business with three employees and have the same feeling of being overwhelmed and having too much

to do and not enough time to do it and never seem to get ahead. Sound familiar, right? So Ivy Lee came in and he sat with Charles Schwab, the president of U.S. Steel, for a month, evaluating and looking at how Charles Schwab did his day-to-day business. And all Ivy Lee did, this is how the story goes, didn't ask questions, he just observed. He was a fly on the wall. After a month, Ivy Lee said to Charles Schwab, I have a solution to your problem.

Great. Give me the report. Give me the presentation. Tell me what I need to do. And I really said, oh, I'm not going to write a report. It's a very simple solution. I can explain it to you in five minutes. Charles Schwab was like, this is the greatest management consultant in America.

And he's going to, after a month of evaluating me, give me the solution in five minutes. go ahead and i believe said what i want you to do is i want you to grab a pad of paper and at night at the end of your day in the evening i want you to write down the six most important things that you have to do tomorrow not a goal that you want to accomplish like increase sales But a specific action step, something you need to do, the six most important things you need to do, it could be call so-and-so, or have this meeting, you know, attend this meeting. That could be an important thing. Write down the six most important things you need to do tomorrow and list them in the order of importance.

then take this sheet of paper, take your pad of paper that you wrote your list down, go into work tomorrow, put that pad of paper in front of you, and look at the very first thing. And don't do anything else. No interruptions. Don't take any phone calls. Don't open the mail. Don't do anything until you have either accomplished that thing. In other words, finished the cycle, brought it to a conclusion, or there's nothing else you can do with it today. Only then do you go on to the next thing and then follow the same procedure. Work on that with total focus and concentration, with no distractions, and continue to work on it until you accomplish that thing that you wrote down as a price. priority to do, an activity that you needed to do, and don't stop until you finish it, complete the cycle, or there's nothing else you can do with it today, and then go to the next. And Charles Schwab said, but wait a minute, what if I need to do all six of those things?

And maybe I don't finish because I'm spending too much time on the first one. Ivy Lee said, well, you've already determined that the first one is the most important. Do this for 60 days and see what happens in your business. Well, Charles Schwab was, quite frankly, he wrote, not very impressed. And he said to Ivy Lee, what is your fee for this management, consulship, you know, consultation. I've at least said, I am not going to assign you a fee and I'm not going to send you an invoice. I want you to use this for 60 days. And then at the end of 60 days, based on the results you're getting, then you send me a check for what you think it's worth. Charles Schwab

said, that's more than fair. 30 days later, not 60, 30 days later, the story goes, Charles Schwab sent a check to Ivy Lee. Ivy Lee got the envelope, opened the check, and there was a check in there for $250,000. In today's money, that's well over $5 million in today's money. And it was a note, and Charles Schwab said, this is the singular most important management tool that will affect my business in a positive way compared to anything else I've ever heard or learned. Because notice, this is not a time management tool. What Ivy Lee told Charles Schwab was how to manage his priorities.

It's not managing time. You can't. We all have the same amount of time. You can't manage time. All you can do is manage your activities. You can manage your priorities. Years later, back in the 80s, there was a guy by the name of Dan Stamp,

I believe he was Canadian, and he formed a company called the Priority Manager, and that's what this is. And I've been using this ever since. So what I'm going to show you today is something that I've been using for 40 years. And it allows me to have no feeling of overwhelm. I never miss an appointment.

I never forget what I have to do. I have no stress or anxiety about my to-do list. I feel powerful and on top of my activities because I am managing my activities. I'm managing my priorities because it's priority management, not time management. That's the key. And that's the singular distinction. When people say they're doing time management, it's a lie. You have to manage your priorities.

That's the key. Now, there are some technical elements. And I'm going to share with you the thumbnail sketch of this. I have an entire, actually Dan Stamp came in and did an entire, I think, four or five hour lecture training people on this. And it's free to all members in the Global Information Network, my private success club. That's free to them, all that training. And I talk a lot about this to the partners in the Kevin Trudeau fan club and so forth. But I'm going to give you the thumbnail sketch, a brief overview on how to do this.

So first, I use a paper-based system. I use the priority manager. And you can go online and buy the priority manager, but it's going to go out of business soon because nobody buys paper anymore. So this system is full of paper. It's paper-based. It's a paper-based system here, and it's called the priority manager. But it's a paper-based system.

So I'm going to show you what's in here. need to have this system. You can use as simply as a pad of paper. That's really all you need. And a calendar book. Now, somebody says, well, I use a calendar online. Well, let me just back up and just tell you about the technical things and digitizing. Look, at the end of the day, we live at a digital world. We used to live in an 8.5 by 11 world in America and an 8.4 world in Europe. but now we live in a digital world. The challenge is it is simply convenient because you walk around, you know, you have your phone with you, right? I walk around with this.

Okay, so I know it's a big pain in the neck. So a lot of people aren't going to do that. But I do. The reason it's with me, it was in my car. When I leave here after the show, I'm hopping in my car and I take this with me. I'm going to an appointment. I walk in. I have this with me.

And when they book an extra appointment, I opened up. And I have my calendar. This is April here. So we have April. There's my calendar with all my appointments. But generally what you need is a paper calendar book and one of these, actually two of these. I'll show you how to use them. That's the tools you need.

And a pencil. This is a pen with blue ink. But you want to use pencil because you can. I have a mechanical pencil here, but the eraser is kind of small. So I also have a big thick eraser. So I recommend you get some mechanical pencils with lead, and this is a .5 millimeter, and a nice big thick eraser. And look, if you're not going to carry it around,

at least have it at your office or house, and then you can use your digital as well. well. The advantage is this. Research has shown over and over again that when you type something into your phone, when you type, actually if you're actually typing on a machine like a keyboard, there's only around nine neuro pathways that get activated. When you print, there's something like 37. But when you use cursive, there's like hundreds of different neuropathways to get activated. Therefore, if you write something down a to-do in cursive, your brain is much more engaged. You don't forget it. And your subconscious starts working on it infinitely more than

you would if you just typed it into a phone or a computer. Look, I know we're going to use phones or computers and do the best you can. I'm just telling you what I've done. Clearly, if I started today, maybe I'd be more technically, I'd be using technology a little bit more. I started 40 years ago, and I have guys that are very technical that I trained how to use this, and then they went digital, and they went back to the paper system. And they go, Kevin, I still use digital, but I use the paper system, and I supplement the paper system with the digital, so it's easier to carry around with my phone. So I do have my appointments in my calendar on my phone, but I also still have it written down.

I always have it written down. And even today, I have a calendar that my secretary, Megan, my executive assistant and secretary, she runs that calendar so it's digital, so it's easier. But she'll also call me, and I put it in my priority manager, in my paper-based system as well. So you use what you can. You can either get the priority manager, and by the way, they have the big version, and they also have a smaller version. Or you can just get a physical paper calendar book. And two pads of paper.

And I'm going to show you how to do this. First, your physical calendar. Anytime you have an appointment, you open up your calendar. And in this particular case, I'm looking at the date. Here we go. It's May 10th. Oh, you want to have a meeting at 10 o'clock? Yes, I'm open.

And I'll write 10 o'clock meeting with Joe. How long is that meeting going to go? I'm thinking about two hours. So I write 10 to 2. And so I block it off on my calendar. A paper calendar system. And then I'll call Megan and I'll say, let's go over my schedule. And then I'll say I'll go over the next month.

And she will then punch it into the digital system. And then when she books something, she punches into the digital system and she calls me or sends me a telegram and says, I just booked a meeting with you with Sebastian, who's the president of the world's best nutritionals and organics, put it in your calendar. She'll either call me or send me a telegram, and I'll add it into my paper calendar, and she manages the digital one. And then when I add something in, I'll call her. That's how I work with the secretary, say, may I want to consider that. So the first element of managing your priorities is looking at your calendar and booking appointments. What type of appointments do you put in your calendar?

I put everything in my calendar, not just business, but personal. So I'll put in my calendar, if I'm going to have breakfast at a cafe, I'll put breakfast 7 to 830. And I'll put that on my calendar. If I have lunch scheduled, I put lunch in my calendar because I need to schedule when I'm going to eat. And I got to make sure that if somebody wants to book a meeting or if Megan is going to, if somebody's calling and trying to book a meeting with me and Megan's looking at my schedule and they go, oh, can I do it at 12 o'clock noon on Thursday? goes, no, he's unavailable. Because I wrote down lunch, 12 to 1. So she knows, no, Kevin's not available from 12 to 1. Another day, I may be having lunch at 1 o'clock from 1 to 2 because I'm meeting with a friend of mine. So I know it's going to be a long lunch. So I put 1 to 2 lunch

with Mike McGee. And she's like, no, he's going to DeMarcos with Mike McGee. I know he's not going to be available because he has lunch scheduled. If I'm going to medicaid, he's going to meditate between 4 and 430, I'll put that in my appointments. If I'm going to the gym, I write that in my appointments. If I got my haircut or dentist appointment, I write that into the appointments. If I'm going out at night for dinner, I write that in my appointment schedule. Write down everything. It's Tuesday night. There's a show that I like called the Curse of Oak Island. So I write down, Island, 8 o'clock to 9. Don't bother me. I'm watching a show that I enjoy watching because I

scheduled it in. So now, oh, can we go to dinner? All right, I can look at that and saying, look, I'll watch it the next day. I'll just download it, so I don't have to watch it on Tuesday night, so I can cross that off. But the point is, in your calendar, get into the habit of writing down every single appointment. Remember this phrase. Plan your work and work your plan. Critical. And there's something magical that happens when you write it down. But this is the reason why I use pencil. Because if I write down 8 o'clock Oak Island and I'm going to change it because I just John called me and say, hey, I'm going to take you to dinner. Oh, you're taking, you're buying, you're going to a nice fancy restaurant. I'm in. What night? My only night is Tuesday. Hold on. No, I'm watching

Oak Island. That's okay. I'll get the free dinner from John. I'll watch Oak Island the next day. I'll download it. So I'll erase Oak Island and put in my new appointment. Then of course, immediately I will send a telegram message to Megan. The moment I put in a new appointment, I immediately sent her a telegram message. That's the app that I use. And I say, I just booked an appointment and she'll put it into the digital calendar. Because when somebody wants to book an appointment with me, most of the time I'll say call Megan. She knows my schedule. and then she'll check. So this is how you manage priorities.

So this is how you're managing your day. Now, it's also critical. I'm in the process of writing several books. I'll then look at my schedule and say, when am I going to write my books? Oh, I'm going to write my book on Friday, May 9th. So I cross off the whole day. I don't want to be bothered.

I'm focusing on that. So I immediately crossed it off and I put book. So I get the whole day crossed off. Nothing. I'll eat when I want to eat lunch. I'll eat breakfast because I know that's my day with no other appointments. And then I'll call Megan or send her a telegram message and saying, I'm unavailable on Friday, May 9th for the whole day. Totally unavailable. She doesn't need to know anything more than that. Or I'm unavailable. The 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th. Okay. He's unavailable. So if somebody wants to book an appointment with me or if somebody calls me directly and I happen to have my calendar in front of me, my priority manager and they want a book and I go, no, if I'm unavailable, I'm unavailable. Like right now, I'm looking here. It's like, I'm unavailable from the 11th of May all the way to the 19th of May, because it's completely unavailable because I'm going to Boston for Dream Weekend for the Global Information Network. Now, I wrote down that I'm unavailable, but I'm in Boston. I'm going to want to meet with a friend of mine.

So I know that I'm gone because I wrote that in as well, that I'm gone for Boston during that time, but I'm completely unavailable unless I choose to say, yeah, I'm going to go to dinner with this guy, but it's really my time. And I will book things in with meetings with high-level gin members who want to meet me. I'll bring them up to my suite. So I can still book that in. But in terms of other things, I'm completely unavailable. So the point is this calendar, you can use a calendar book I'm using the priority manager.

This calendar here with all the months, and by the way, I'm looking here July. I have dates already booked. I get appointments in August. I got a Dennis appointment on August 14th. I got a patron dinner where patrons in the Kevin Trudeau fan club are coming to my house for a private dinner. or we go to a nice fancy restaurant. I have a partner call for partners, a Zoom, live Zoom call for partners in the Kevin Trudeau fan club.

By the way, all the stuff is available at Kevin Trudeau.com. I think we have the Chiron down there. You can just go to Kevin Trudeau.com. But I have all my appointments booked in my calendar. So that's the first thing you need. The next thing you need, in addition to the calendar, is you need what's called one through 31s. This is your daily to-do list, and this is how you can use this.

All you have to do is pick the date. Let's say it's May 1st. Put May 1st on one sheet. On the next sheet. So you can use pen for this. You pick the date. May 1st, May 2nd. So each sheet would have a date, like May 1st on this sheet, May 2nd on that sheet.

So this is your daily to-do lists. I happen to have it already in my priority manager and my daily activities. They call it activities as opposed to do. That's what this is. And this is the date. And on this side is the daily plan. So this is why the priority manager is a little, it gives you an advantage.

I can put this right out on my desk. On my right side, I have my to-do list, and on my left side, I have my day. 7.50 and I have to leave to go to the hyperbaric chamber, from 8 to 10, I'm in hyperbaric chamber, and then I leave, and then in the car, I have a 1030 phone call with Tom and Blaine and Danielle, and then I'm going to be in the studio, and I'm shooting,

and then after that I go and grab something. to eat on the way to get my hair cut, and then after that, tonight I have, I'm free, and then I have the Oak Island. So this is my schedule that I'm looking at when I have my page. So you do the same thing. In addition to the to-dos, the reason you have the other sheet is that's when you actually write down in the left column, the times. So you write down starting as early as 7 o'clock in the morning, all the way down, and now you can write in your daily. appointments because what you do is you go to your daily calendar the night and you do this the night before you go to your daily calendar and say what do I have on the schedule for Tuesday and then

you take your sheet and then you put in your day so from 715 and you write it into to 10 o'clock I'll be here and then I'll have a 1030 phone call and then I'm going to be in the studio from 11 to 1230 and then I got my hair cut from one to three and then I'm free and then eight o'clock show. So you write down this and now this is what you have on your desk. Again, if you're not using the priority manager. So let's talk about your to-dos. A to-do is an action step. And what you're writing down on your to-do list, and this is what I have here on my to-do list,

and this is what I have here on my to-do list. So what I write down on my to-do list is anything and everything that I have to do. For example, log into Coinbase wallet and move money to other wallet. That's an action step. Call William and Matt set up meeting. Go to dry cleaners. Call Dustin set up. meeting to look at landing pages.

Record, fly on the wall video. I'm offering fly on the wall training soon to a handful of people that will live with me and actually observe me, operate for 24 hours so they can learn how to become successful. Record turbocharger business video. I'm going to be offering three days at a mansion in Beverly Hills where you live with me. five people that have a business, and I'm going to be picking apart your business, tweaking it, and allowing you to 10x it in two to three years. Increase the profits by 10x.

Call and set up a time to pick up suits downtown. Decide when to go to New York. Call Billy about proofreader for my book. Call Blue Cross Blue Shield, which is an insurance company. called power construction set up meeting. So these are the type of to-dos that I have on my list today. There's more. But here's a critical part.

The next day, I also have a lot of to-dos. And then the next day I have already listed of to-dos. The next day I have to-dos. The next day I have listed to-dos. The next day I have listed to-dos. then there's nothing for a few days, and then over a week from now I have something listed, and there's nothing for a few days,

and then two weeks I have something listed as a to-do. The reason why I point that out is here's a common error that people do. They write down everything on a one to-do list for tomorrow. You can't get it all done. So if I think of something I have to do, I don't immediately open up my book and write it on today's to-do list. I look at my to-do list and think, do I have time to do this today? Is it a priority that I do it today?

No. Let me see about tomorrow. And then I'll look at my calendar and go, notice how quickly I can flip, by the way, because we have little tabs here. And I go, no, tomorrow I'm gone the entire day. I can't put it on tomorrow's to-do list. Let me see Friday. Friday's completely gone, can't do it.

Let me see about Saturday. Mike Siegel's coming in town. I'm going to be with him. I'm just looking at my daily calendar. I can do it Sunday. Now I want to take Sunday off. I can definitely do it Monday. So now I flip to my daily activity page or my to-do sheet for Monday the 14th,

and then I write it down because it's not a priority. If you're using this, it says May 1st, you would flip to your May 14th, and you'd write it down there. That's critical that you don't write everything on one page, that you decide, look, there's no reason to write it down on my to-do list today because I can't get it done, but I can do it in three or four days. So a daily activity sheet is critical. Next, when you use the daily activity sheet, you do this the night before.

So last night, after dinner, I opened up my priority manager. and I look at today, last night it was tomorrow, the next day, and I look at the calendar, and I see my appointments. I then open up to my to-do page for today's date, and this is where I write in on my daily calendar what my time availability is, so I can see that very accurately. That's the first thing I do. So now I know that from 7.30 until 4 o'clock, I have no time to do anything because I'm booked in appointments. I got a window from 4 to 6 before dinner that I can do something.

Or I can just relax. So I know that I have a very limited amount of time to get any action steps done. my first thing is are these appointments that I could cancel or are they priorities? In this case, they're priorities, so I'm not going to cancel them. So that's my first step that I do. I do it the night before. The next thing I do is I look at my to-do list. And what I do, and it's very important, so pay attention, I look at each of the things I wrote down on my two-do list.

do list today. And I read each one and I make this decision. It's not a decision, actually, it's a determination. Is this something that absolutely positively has to happen today? If the answer is no, then it instantly is a B priority. In the rare instance that the answer is yes, then it becomes an A priority. So I write down next to it A or B. and in the priority manager, it gives me that opportunity. In this particular instance, there's nothing that's an A priority because there's nothing here that has to happen today. Everything on my list could be put off till tomorrow.

Now, it may be better if I do it today, but it doesn't have to happen today. So as an example, what has to happen? today. I need to send this via Federal Express because the guy needs it tomorrow. I can't do it tomorrow because it has to be in his hand tomorrow. That would be an A priority. Haircut, that's an A priority. I have to go. I have to be there today because that's when my appointment is. So my appointments are A's, but my appointments aren't even listed over here. They're on my, on the left side. So this is magical. You then determine what's an A and a B priority. If you do, you do, do have a couple A's, then you go back and as Ivy Lee said, you number them in an order

priority. What's number one? What's number two? What's number three? And you stick with the first one until it's finished or there's nothing else you can do on it, then go to the second. If you use this system, you're going to have very few things as A priorities. And from a psychological standpoint, when you finish your A priorities in 30 or 45 minutes or an hour and at nine or 10 o'clock, you're done with your A priorities. You are going to feel like you're on top of the world. Like, I am so powerful and so efficient. I'm awesome. Then you're going to jump on the B's and go, which one of the Bs now do I want to do next? And now you can choose what you want to do, what will give you some pleasure. And you can start deciding which of the Bs you want to do.

Always keep them a B. Because at the end of the day, you're going to look at this list, and the majority of things that you wrote down in your to-do list today have not been accomplished, but you're going to feel great because you accomplish the A priorities, and you accomplish some of the Bs. So you are going to feel like you won. You have a win. You're going to feel confidence.

You feel like you had a successful day, and success builds confidence. confidence creates activity, motivation, inspiration. You're going to be driven to do more because you're winning. You're not going to feel overwhelmed, but you're going to feel powerful. And then tonight, you're going to go through this list of things you didn't do, and you're going to look at each one and say, when do I want to do it? Should it be on tomorrow's sheet? Should it be on the next day's to-do list?

The next day's to-do list? the next day's do-list, and then you start making some decisions on where you want to assign it as a task. You still haven't determined whether it's going to be an A priority on that day, and it may not even get done, but you go through each one of these. It takes about five to ten minutes to do this cycle of moving everything that you didn't do, crossing them off on today's sheet, and moving them to another day. But there's something powerful in this process. every time you look at an action step, you actually subconsciously are seeing it completed. And when you physically move it and rewrite it, the brain, especially if you use incursive,

over hundreds of neuro pathways are getting activated. Your subconscious is working on that thing for you while you're sleeping. I can't tell you the number of times that I've taken something and moved it forward once, twice, three, four times. It's always on a to-do list, but it's always a B priority. It never seemed to get it done. Never seemed to really make it an A priority. And then all of a sudden, one day it's like, oh, you know, that magically worked itself out. I don't even need to do that. Or somebody did that already for me. And then you just cross it off. It magically got done. That's going to occur. Those are the two basics of your management system. And again,

I'm just given broad strokes. Today, there's an entire five-hour seminar that Dan Stamp did, who's the founder of this system, and whether you use the system or use paper, that's training that's free to Global Information Network. If you are a member, go to the subject-specific area of the Global Information Network website, if you're a member, and get it. It's all there for free. There's another key element to this management system. That other element is called a communication plan.

And again, you can use a piece of paper. The communication planner system is this. In the back of my priority manager, I have an A through Z tabs. And each tab, I have what's called the communication planner. The communication planner has a person's name at the top. This is Billy. He's this chief executive officer of True Star Publishing, my publishing company. And then if I go to D, I have Dustin.

I have David. I have Danielle. I happen to alphabetize these most of the time by first name. You can use last name. These are all people that I work very closely with. Or first name, it doesn't matter. The key is all the key people that you deal with, you should have a communication planner. And that can be as simple as just taking a piece of paper and putting their name across the top,

and you've got a communication planner. And what you do, and the reason why this system is great because it's alphabetized, is when I'm thinking throughout the day, oh, I have to talk to Dustin about the price of the Your Wishes Your Command program. I have a thought. that thought's going to vanish into the ether unless I write it down. So I grab my priority manager, I flip to Dustin, and on his communication planner, I write down, discuss price of the your wish is your command program.

Then I close it. Now, I continue to do that. Anytime I think about something that I need to talk to Dustin about, I write it on his communication planner. If I think about something to talk to Billy about, I write it on his communication planner. Same thing with John Denny. I have one for John Denny. I have one for Trey.

All the people that I deal with. And then when I have my meeting tomorrow with Dustin, guess what I do? I flip to the D. Here's Dustin's communication planner. And I say, all right, Dustin, let's go over a few things. Everything is written down. And then when I discuss it, I put down the date that I discussed it and what we decided. So I keep, I have perfect memory of our meeting and everything I can then follow up and follow through on to make sure that what he said on February 6th today is actually done.

Because then when I talk to him three weeks from now and I go, let's go over your, I want to go over your, I want to go over your, or communication planner. On February 6th, we talked about this. What's the status? Completed. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Great. Cross it off.

On February 6th in our meeting, we talked about this. What's the status? Completed. I did this, this, this, this, this, this. Great. What's the status on this? No, it's not done yet. Why?

Because blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Okay, let's make that a priority. Now let's set a date on when it will get accomplished. This is how you get things done. So the communication planner is the third part of the system that makes it work. First is the calendar where you have your appointments and put down everything, personal as well as business. Next is your daily to-do list with your daily calendar. That's this page here where you have your daily to-do list and your daily time so you know your whole day.

Next is the communication planner. I'm going to give you one other element that I use, and I've used it for 40 years, and that is filing cabinets and Manila file folders. Dustin has a communication planner, but every person I deal with, they also have in a file, it's called People, and it's alphabetized, there is a Manila file folder. I also have a file folder with their name on my computer. so I do use technology. But many times I have a piece of paper.

Many times I don't have my priority manager with me. And I'll just scribble. I always, always, I have paper and pen around my house always. So if I think of something I can write it down. But if I'm sitting there and I think about something to talk to Dustin about and I don't have my priority manager, I'll just grab a piece of paper, write it down, and then I'll just take it, rip that paper off, and either put it in his communication planner later, or I'll just throw it in his Manila file.

And then if I get something via email, I can put it in his digital file folder. This way, when I have my meeting with him, in addition to me looking at his communication planner and going over that, my next thing is I'll grab the file folder and go through anything that's in there that we need to discuss. I can write notes on it. I can throw it away.

but it's there. If I need to hand them something, oh yeah, I had some direct mail pieces I want you to look at because they're really good examples of good ones, and I put that in his Manila file folder,

so when I meet them, I can hand it to him. Then I'll check with the digital file folder on my computer and say, let me just see what else. Nope, everything. Oh, yeah, I forwarded you this, and what's the status? Because if I forwarded him something,

maybe I put it in his digital, his digital file folder, and then I can follow up. So those are the key elements. Now, as I mentioned, I'm looking at the clock here. This is 40 minutes. It really takes about five, six hours of training to get all of the key elements and all the nuances and give you example, example, example of how to do this in real life. And that's what Dan Stamp did in the video that's Freedom Member.

So if you're a member, get it, it's free. go to kevin shrewdow.com get on our mailing list i'll send you some some information on more details i may even do a follow-up video and send it to people that are signed up on the kevin trudeau dot com fan club people who sign up i i send free stuff all the time so i would definitely get on that mailing list but i can tell you this if you do this and i have taught this to hundreds of people they get more done in less time reduce stress reduce anxiety society, you get other people to get more done in less time because even if they're not using the system as effectively as you, and I'll tell you, that's nobody that I know, John, and nobody

uses this as effectively as me. But because I am using it effectively, when I sit down with them, I make sure they get more done in less time because I'm using it, even though they're not using it 100%. So if you're in business, this is something really significant that will help grow your business. And if you're not, if you're just by yourself, it's going to reduce stress, reduce anxiety, reduce feelings of overwhelm, and allow you to accomplish more. And I'll tell you, when you feel like you're winning at the end of the day and you say, this was, I feel like it's been such a productive day. You may have only done four things, but two of them were A priorities and you completed them, and then you're ahead and you got two B priorities done, you are going to

feel like a champion. This will start the momentum cycle and good things are going to happen to you. I guarantee it. Do these things, my friends, and I know someday I'll see you on the beaches of the world. I'm Kevin Trudeau. This is the Kevin Trudeau Show, Limitless.
