Are You Still Juggling Your Time? You Might Regret It.

Dan Sullivan the author of The Strategic Coach uses a system called the “Parental Time System”.  It divides all your time in the three kinds of days

BULL’S EYE DAYS -

These are the activities that give you your highest payoff for the time invested. To be successful in this system, you must schedule more “bull’s eye” days and hold yourself accountable for producing the results.

My core genius areas are…

Building relationships, networking, training, and coaching. 

I do these things easily and well. And when I do them, I enjoy myself whether I am getting paid for it or not.

My “bull’s eye day” would be like…

70% of the time coaching children, helping my team members reach a higher level of success and building strong relationships with our families at Kid’s Revolution

You’re Bull’s Eye Days might be spent by

• Developing a new line of clothing

• Making sales calls

• Negotiating deals

• Producing a loan package to send to a mortgage lender

• Painting

• Performing

• Or writing a grant proposal for a nonprofit organization

Do whatever you can to increase your number of Bull’s Eye Days.

Alignment Days -

A alignment day is when you prepare or plan for a bull’s eye day. Either by learning a new skill, training your support team, locating a new resource, delegating a task to others, or traveling to a worksite.

Alignment days ensure that your bull’s eye days are as full and productive as possible.

For me a alignment day may be taking a seminar to improve my coaching skills.

• Planning how to maximize the value we provide at Kid’s Revolution and create more quality in the program.

• Reading a potential story to get inspiration to write.

• Or delegating a project to a member of my support team.

The key is to group all your alignment day activities into the day before your bull’s eye days, so you are not diluting your bull’s eye days.

FREE DAYS -

It is a day completely free of business meetings, business related phone calls, cell phone calls, emails or reading work related journals and documents On a true free day, you are not available to your team or students for any kind of contact except for true emergencies.

The truth is that most so-called emergencies, aren’t emergencies at all they are simply coworkers, and family members that don’t have or haven’t been given enough training, responsibility, or authority to handle the unexpected situations that arise.

You have to set clear boundaries. Stop rescuing people and trust that they can handle things by themselves. 

 When you train your employer, employees, coworkers, and family not to bother you on your free days. It forces them to become more self-reliant it also forces them to grow in ability and self-confidence.

If you’re consistent overtime, people will eventually get the message. This is ultimately a good thing because it gives you the ability to have more free days.

Free means some days without the kids too! The question often arises about what to do with the children. For the most part you need to take some time away from your children on a regular basis.

This is where Kids’ Revolution comes in as a community resource for your little ones.

Especially with our new Drop In/ Flex Care options.

Between a growing work from home movement and social distancing considerations… families may not always need full-time childcare services.

Many parents must choose between spending a significant portion of their wages on full-time daycare or finding a cheaper but potentially lower quality care option. Others wind up leaving the workforce altogether.

As working from home becomes more popular, KIDS REVOLUTION it’s offering a new drop in childcare option, for the home-based working parent.
