Peculiar time Management strategies of successful People

It is often said that successful people right from sportsperson to movie stars to business tycoons & world leaders make things happen. They just don't let the things passively drift away from them! Success is never accidental for them. For them, success at any task or project is the direct result of preparing, planning, and aligning their time with their most important goals.
1.They Dont waste time on petty decisions: Only a few decisions truly matter. Successful people know that every decision need not be perfect. This frees them to make quick decisions most of the time. They automate and simplify day to day decisions.They don’t think about whether they will go to the gym. They don’t deliberate about what they will eat for breakfast. They workout at the same time every day. They eat the same breakfast every day. They use their willpower and flex their decision making muscles on the highest impact decisions they face each day.They insist on routine: A precise formula that produces an effective daily routine doesn’t exist. But,highly successful people experiment with different activities until they find the precise routine that fits their lifestyle and sets them up for a successful day. Successful people often compile a combination of the following activities throughout the day: meditate, read, journal, exercise, prioritize their tasks & activities, and eat multiple small meals to fuel their day.
2.They Plan Ahead: One of the major differences between highly successful people and average performers is detailed and strategic planning. Successful people spend more time thinking about their big picture goals and ideas. Average performers make those decisions in a reactive mode while they’re in the thick of the forest of their lives. Successful people plan thoroughly and reap the rewards down the road.Their detailed planning provides clarity on what they should be working on at any given time. Because, what doesn’t get scheduled, doesn’t get done; successful people regularly schedule time to review their priorities, goals, and road maps to achieve them. They schedule time to monitor their progress on key objectives and iterate their plans based on results and lessons learned. They schedule their projects on a daily and weekly basis. They set aside time to plan and execute those plans.They produce at high levels because they separate the planning and creation processes. They don’t plan on their whims & fancies but they make it a habit to plan meticulously.
3.They Prioritize & work on most important projects first: Willpower is a limited resource. As we make decisions, run errands, and work on various projects throughout the day, our willpower is depleted. Successful people leverage the full tank of willpower in the morning by working on their most important project first. In his book,''First Things First" author Stephen Covey lays out a quadrant with the following categories: urgent and important, not urgent and important, urgent and not important, and not urgent and not important. The quadrant where you spend the majority of your time determines your life’s destiny.Average performers live in the urgent quadrants. They are constantly putting out fires. On the other hand, highly successful people focus on activities that are important and not urgent. These activities don’t yield instant results. However, they produce massive long-term results.
