Get 6 hours of extra stuff done in a day!
Hey there!
How was your day?
I’ll be quick today. I’ve got to run because I’m late for dinner. I’m going to have streak frites and red wine…
Shhh… Don’t tell my diet coach…
You’ve met time management expert Dave Navarro before. He’s a super cool guy.
He's a really nice guy underneath all this. Honest.
He’s so cool, in fact, that he’s giving away his fantastic 30 Hours a Day Time Management program.
It was originally a 11-CD program and Dave sold it for a zillion dollars.
Now he’s giving it away for free on his blog. Because he’s awesome like that.
I’ll let Dave explain what it is…
Hi, I’m Dave Navarro, and I want to welcome you to the 30 Hours a Day Project. Since this project is a time management program, and since I know you’re already too busy as it is, I’m going to make this introduction short and sweet. This way you can dive right into what you really came here for – freeing up massive amounts of time and increasing your productivity so you can get 30 hours of stuff done in a regular 24 hour day. Sound good? Let’s go.
About the 30 Hours a Day Project
People thought I was a little crazy when I told them I was working on a system to get 6 hours of extra “stuff” done in my day. They thought it was impossible, I guess the same way a lot of people think it’s impossible to earn a million dollars in a year or two.
But people go from zero to a million all the time, so I figured it that we humans could go from 24 to 30 hours of productivity as well.
Pulling six hours of results out of thin air may sound unattainable, but it’s not when you really think about it. It’s like increasing your daily get-things-doneness by less than 25% – and that is certainly very reasonable, if you have a solid plan on how to do it.
(Yes, technically, I’m aware that if you take out the 8 hours that many people sleep in a day, and you’re left with 16 hours, well, then pulling an extra 6 is a little over a 35% improvement. Still not impossible – if you have a solid plan, that is.)
The Solid Plan
The 30 Hours a Day Project revolves around three simple steps that you can take to send your daily results through the roof:
- Discover what problems are you holding back from getting things done
- Create a battle plan to kill those problems, one by one
- Create a system to work that battle plan every day so you can reap the benefits
Now, I know that sounds simple, and that’s because it is. Success isn’t rocket science, it’s just a matter of getting solid on the fundamentals. There’s no reason to get overly complex, like a lot of other time management methods do.
Most time management systems make things really complicated and bog you down with these huge systems that you are supposed to use to replace the way you are doing everything in your life. From my experience as a coach, I’ve rarely, if ever, seen that work. If you’re too busy already, the last thing you want to do is step back and try to change everything at once.
That’s why the 30 Hours a Day project does things differently. I’m going to take you through a series of mini workshops that are going to show you the small, manageable next steps you can take to start making progress right now, right where you are.
You don’t have to change everything overnight to start seeing some massive progress. You’ll be able to go at the pace you want to, you’ll be able to pick and choose the areas you want to work on, and you won’t really have to break away from the tools you are already using. You’ll see what I mean as we start moving on.
Now, I told you I’d keep the intro short and sweet, and that’s exactly what I’m going to do. We’re done. So let’s start getting you closer to your 30-hour day!

Don’t say I’m not good to you!

But I don’t want to pack 30 hours into a 24 hour day or even 22 hours into a 16 hour waking day (I like a bath now and then). Am I missing the point? Does Dave deal with work/life balance and contentment, which we all seem to need help with these days, or is it all about yet more work?

Does this program let you free up time to talk to your brother on the phone?

I’m with Pa – I think it’s time people stopped cramming way too much “stuff” into their days and stopped to actually think about all this stuff they’re doing…

I liked Dave better when he was in Jane’s addiction, the Red Hot Chili Peppers and was married to Carmen Electra! He needs a nappy nap!
Seriously though, There are definitely ways to free up time and get more done. I stopped watching TV years ago and although I did not stop to free up extra time, so to speak, that was a natural consequence. In addition, I stopped staring at the wall and drooling which also freed up considerable chunks of time.
I am definitely going to check out this Dave’s book.

Dave is brilliant. I bought that program when it came out. It’s amazing.
JJ – I think some of your readers might have a funny idea about time management. It’s about making sure that you spend your time doing more of what you want to be doing and less of what you don’t want. Pa and Suzie seem to think that it’s all about work. That’s not the intention at all. Of course it’s about work/life balance, of course it’s about contentment.
It’s cool. Try it.

@Pa – Hey!
Thanks for visiting my blog. It always makes me happy when I know you’ve been here.
I think we see the concept of “time management” somewhat differently.
We’ve all got stuff to do. This might include:
– working at our “job” on our business.
– sorting out filing / taxes / etc
– shopping / cooking / dealing with household issues
– spending quality time with out partner or our families.
– pursuing our interests and hobbies
– having a bath.
The list is never ending.
In every moment we are doing something, even if it is just staring at the wall and drooling.
As Dave mentions above, managing our time is about consciously planning what we’re doing to make sure that we do more of what we want to do and less of what we don’t. It’s also about making sure that none of the areas of our life get neglected. If we spend 16 hours at work then it’s going to have an impact on our family life. And not a good one.
Time management is about consciously choosing what we are spending our time doing, rather than reacting to the events our lives. It’s about making sure that our 16 waking hours are spent doing the things we love, with the people we love, and not in unconscious reaction to the rest of the world.
Time management sounds really annoying, doesn’t it? Like advice about how to stop procrastinating – it just presses the wrong buttons. I understand that. It sounds like someone’s going to try to tell us that we should spend 14 hours at work every day, doing something we hate. Or that we should be developing an enormous caffeine addiction and giving ourselves a stroke. The aggressive and overtly masculine picture in this post probably doesn’t help in this respect.
So when we hear about time management we often react emotionally, and we say things like: “I’d rather be happy and content than productive”
But this doesn’t make any logical sense. These things are not mutually exclusive. In fact, we could easily argue the opposite.
It’s like saying “I’d rather be rich than happy.” It makes no sense. But people say that because it helps them feel better about the fact that they are not rich.
Time management is about making sure you have time to have that bath. It’s about making sure you have time to play with your kids, or do the gardening, or watch TV with your wife.
Another assumption people often make is that “work” is, by necessity, something you don’t want to do. The phrase work / life balance presupposes that work sucks and life does not, and that work is not a part of life. I have a real problem with that premise, and that is part of what this blog is all about. We want to structure our lives in such a way that whatever it is we’re doing is ultimately enjoyable and rewarding – and conscious time management is very much a part of that.

@Anthony – Maybe this Dave knows Carmen Electra too? It can’t hurt to ask.
@Suzie – Thanks for your comments. I think I gave the wrong impression of what time management actually is. My bad. Time management is really about thinking about all the stuff they’re doing – which is exactly what you think they should be doing… I think the fist probably gave rather the wrong impression. I’m not advocating anyone turn into a City-boy workaholic speed addict. I’d much rather they were on a beach in Fiji, drinking coconut milk and being fanned by a big leaf…

The beach in Fiji sounds good!
I also think that we need to spend time just being, rather than doing all the time
Just my opinion lol

@Suzie – That’s a cool way of thinking about it. And I think I agree.
I tend to think of just being as doing the stuff I enjoy. This could be sitting in the jacuzzi, writing, playing the piano, having a great conversation, etc etc…
Your latest blog post was totally awesome, by the way… People – go read it here and share the love:

Hi JJ,
Let me throw my 2 cents worth of Zen, Tao ( The Way) or Yoga (union with the Self or God):
“Do Nothing and Yet Everything is Done!”
“Doing” is based on the concept of doership. If we act just as a matter of duty, then there’s no action done but results would be still there.
Having said that, I’ll go thru’ the Time Mgmt System you refer us to. It just sounds great.
I love simple & elegant solutions!
