In Time Machine, Kris Krohn has written a new book about managing our time and learning to get our focus back on what matters. He begins the book by explaining time is not money. A lot of us believe that time is valuable. We all have the same amount of time in a day, 1440 minutes. He revealed how we need to know when to say yes to things and when to say no thanks and move on. He looked at how we can accumulate money and we can do this by saving, investing, and spending. He explained how only 16% of Americans have $200,000 in retirement and this can lead to a problem of having very little to live off of. In the book, he shared that his company grew by 200% while he was writing this book. He chooses to work Mondays, Tuesday, and Thursday. Wednesday is bliss day, Friday kid day, Saturday his day, and Sunday Lord’s Day. He feels that making more money shouldn’t require us from having to spend more of our time. He opened up about his different jobs and buying real estate. He explored the lens system and came up with two new standards: delegation and yes. He walks readers through how to discovered how to use their time more wisely.
I would recommend this eye-opening book about time and figuring how what matters. I honestly don’t see how he is able to personally work only three days a week and gets to spend that much time with his family compared to others who work way over that many hours. Maybe this is a struggle for me. I thought this part was kind of crazy. I appreciated how he revealed how we need to only say yes to the activities that will benefit us that is twice as much as our highest hourly rate. He enclosed some examples to show the lessons in action.
“I received this book free from the publisher for my honest review.”
