Because it isn’t about apps or tricks. It’s self-management: deciding what matters, valuing your time and handing off the rest. You leave with your own plan, not a list of tips.
TimeRICH How to use time to your advantage
Win back your week, from chaos to control
A half-day, hands-on workshop for owners who are busy all day and still behind. Find out where your hours really go, put a value on your time, plan the week that grows your business, and hand off the rest.
Come on your own, bring your managers, or ask for a TimeRICH just for your team.
86,400 seconds in every day
Everyone gets the same. What you do with them is the difference.
Sound familiar?
Busy all day. Behind all week.
You start the day with a plan. Then the phone rings, a customer complains, someone needs “just a minute”, and it’s 7 pm. The work that would grow the business waits for when things calm down. They never do.
It isn’t a time problem. It’s a self-management problem, and that can be learned.
- Do you have a minute?
- I’ll do it myself. It’s quicker.
- I’ll plan when things calm down.
- Just checking WhatsApp quickly.
Where your hours leak
- Fire-fighting all day
- Meetings without an agenda
- Email and WhatsApp all day
- Jobs you could pay someone else to do
- No plan for tomorrow
- Sundays at the office
The Time Target
Where does your week really go?
Every task lands in one of four zones. Only one of them grows your business. Put in roughly how many hours a week you spend in each, and see how much of your week is spent in the Zone. Your numbers stay on this page.
- Your week
- 60 hours
- Working on the business
- 12 hours
Move 5 hours from Delusion and Distraction into the Zone and you’d spend 17 hours a week on your business: 42% more.
The starting numbers are an example of a 60-hour week. In the workshop you do a real time study of your own week.
Time mastery
You can’t manage time. You can manage yourself.
Time is your most valuable asset, and how you invest it is one of the keys to business success. TimeRICH works on three areas, in this order.
-
01
Self mastery
Do what needs doing, not just what’s in front of you.
- Urgent versus important
- A, B and C priorities
- Tomorrow’s list, written tonight
- Goals that keep you motivated
-
02
Planning mastery
A simple plan about what to do, not theory, and the discipline to work it.
- Your ActionPLAN, kept simple
- Valuing every opportunity
- A default diary for your ideal week
- Daily success activities for 90 days
-
03
Delegation mastery
Let go of what you don’t need to do, without simply dumping it.
- A time log that shows what to hand over
- Delegate, don’t abdicate
- What, why, how and by when
- Fire yourself, then replace yourself
Do a task without writing it down and you are destined to repeat it.
Your base earning target
What is an hour of your time worth?
Business turns your knowledge and effort, through your time, into money. Once you know what an hour of yours is worth, every task gets a simple test: is this worth my time, or should someone else do it?
- Every hour you work is worth
- ₹1,000
- Every productive hour must earn
- ₹1,667
Your rule: if you could pay someone less than ₹1,000 an hour to do it, it’s a task to delegate.
Your figures, your arithmetic: an illustration, not advice.
What you walk away with
Half a day. Every week after it, better.
Not a list of tips: your own plan for your own week, ready to use on Monday morning. Expect a few BFOs, Blinding Flashes of the Obvious.

Meet the time vampires
They don’t steal hours. They steal minutes, all day.
Every business has them, and they’re usually lovely people. Learn to spot them and you get your focus back, politely. Have a militant attitude to your time.

“Do you have a minute?”
Drops by all day with one small thing at a time.
The cureCollect the small things and go through them together, once, at the end of the day.
-
Mr. Meeting
Lives in meetings and wants you in all of them.
The cureAsk whether you need to be there, and never meet without an agenda.
-
Mr. Trivia
Treats every small matter like a big one.
The cureAsk them to rate it out of ten. You deal with the nines and tens.

The Emotional Crisis
Magnifies everything into a drama.
The cureCut to the core of the problem and agree the next step.
Five ways to stop interruptions
- Get lost: be unreachable for focus time
- Don’t answer every call
- Check email at set times

FAQ
TimeRICH, answered
I’ve tried time management before. Why is this different?
I’m too busy to take half a day out.
That’s usually the best sign you need it. Half a day spent working on how you use the other 99% of your week is an investment, not a cost.
I don’t have a team to delegate to. Is it still useful?
Yes. Self and planning mastery work for anyone, and delegation includes suppliers, freelancers and simple systems, not just staff.
Can I bring my team?
Yes. Book seats for a few people, or ask for a TimeRICH for your team alone, so everyone plans and protects their time the same way.
How long is it?
Half a day, about three to four hours. A TimeRICH for your own team can run to a full day.
Is it in person or online?
Each seminar states its format and venue. A TimeRICH for your team can be at your office or online.
What should I bring?
Your diary or calendar for the last two weeks, your to-do list, and an honest idea of the hours you work.
How much is a seat?
The seat fee is shown with each seminar date. For a TimeRICH for your team, ask us and we’ll quote for your group.
