The Time Investment Strategy for High-Impact Leaders


Why do some leaders accomplish more in a year than others do in a lifetime?

It’s not about working longer hours—it’s about leveraging time differently.

In my years coaching executives and high-performers, I’ve seen one principle separate the best from the rest:

 

The Law of 10%

The most effective leaders intentionally set aside 10% of their daily time (2 hours and 24 minutes) for strategic thinking, innovation, and high-value activities.

📌 They don’t just “fit in” time for personal growth—they protect it.
📌 They don’t let urgent but low-value tasks dictate their day.
📌 They use their most focused hours for deep work, leadership, and self-mastery.

 

How You Can Apply This Starting Today

  • Time Audit – Track your time for a week. Identify where distractions and inefficiencies steal your best hours.
  • Protect Your 10% Window – Block out 2 hours and 24 minutes daily for strategic, high-impact work. No emails. No distractions.
  • Build the Habit – Leadership transformation happens through daily commitment, not occasional inspiration. Make it a non-negotiable part of your day.
