What It Means

Time management problems are actually system design problems - having better frameworks matters more than having more hours.

Why It Matters

Shifts focus from complaining about time constraints to building better processes and frameworks.

When It's True

When people with similar constraints achieve dramatically different results based on their approach.

When It's Risky

When someone genuinely has overwhelming obligations that can't be systematized away.

How to Apply

1

Instead of saying 'I don't have time,' ask 'What system would make this possible?'

2

Study how successful people organize their approach to similar challenges

3

Build repeatable processes for recurring decisions and activities

Example Scenario

Instead of skipping workouts due to lack of time, create a 6-minute daily routine that can be done anywhere without equipment.
