Ed Mylett ’ s 4 Strategies To
MAX OUT YOUR DAY
Without Feeling Overwhelmed
Ed Mylett shared his unique strategies for managing his day during a Q & A with Robin Robins , CEO and founder of MSP Success and TMT , at a TMT event for top-tier members . Here are four steps MSPs can take to reduce overwhelm while boosting productivity , wealth , and happiness :
1 . Establish “ Mini Days ”
Mylett manipulates the traditional 24-hour day by scheduling three six-hour “ mini days ” ( 6 a . m .– noon , noon – 6 p . m ., and 6 p . m .– midnight ) into one day . Assessing and recalibrating after each mini day , he gains more time , flexibility , and control . “ Now you ’ re getting 21 days in one week ,” he explains . “ If you stack that up against someone running 24-hour days , I ’ m going to beat you , and I ’ m not overwhelmed .”
2 . Schedule Rest And Peak Performance
Mylett builds in rest throughout the day and pays attention to his peak performance windows . He aims to schedule important meetings and tasks during his peak mental and physical state , which for him is 11 a . m .– 2 p . m .
3 . Increase Your Internal Thermostat
Mylett discovered brain techniques to help him overcome self-imposed limitations and grow personally . People often subconsciously limit their success and happiness based on what they believe they deserve .
“ Your internal identity — the beliefs you hold about who you are — governs your life , like a thermostat set at 72 ° F ,” he explains . “ Even if you could exceed that setting , most people never will . I ’ ve always worked on increasing my internal thermostat , which has been the biggest driver of growing my wealth .”
4 . Establish An End-Of-Day Routine
Mylett has a regimented morning routine . However , adding a specific routine in the last 30 – 45 minutes of the evening has been life-changing for him , setting him up for the next day and providing a sense of control . “ These routines in the morning and evening reduce my anxiety by creating a safe space for my mind , being , and soul ,” he says .
By controlling your day , you , too , can perform at a higher level . Apply these strategies of time compression , rest , and routines collectively to maximize productivity while minimizing overwhelm .
