Guest Post: The Savvy Mindset – Time Management While You Sleep
December 1st, 2009 by Cristina Favreau
Trevor Emdon and I met over the internet a few months ago, and we hit it off right away — something about personalities meshing that just can’t be explained. He offered to write a series of guest posts for The Savvy Entrepreneur blog, specifically to help you, my dear readers, with ‘out of the box’ strategies to get more of what you want in your business. Enjoy!
The Savvy Mindset – Time Management While You Sleep!
Working from home means you can run your own schedule. That sounds great until you get a “to do” list so long that clocking off time becomes when you can no longer keep your eyes open.
Here’s an unusual tip for time management. As you go through the day you’ll accumulate things to add to your to do list. Jot them down, but if they can wait, don’t do them yet. Before leaving your desk for the day, sort the list into these two categories:
- Down to Earth, and
- Inspired Required.
Down to Earth will be things like pay invoice number… and phone supplier X. By contrast, Inspired Required should include such things as, find the perfect marketing agency/publisher/virtual p.a. or write sales/advertising copy or need perfect product for Xmas sale and so on.
Read over the Inspired Required list and just let them roll around your mind without attempting to solve them yet. Now, before you go to sleep, just mentally issue an instruction to your subconscious mind:
“I’m going to sleep now. While I’m resting, I want you to take care of all the things on my Inspired Required list.”
Then go to sleep. In the morning, deal with the Down to Earth ones that need handling – or, better still, get your p.a., partner or friends to do them. (If you hate accounts and you have a friend who enjoys them, there’s always some skill or favour you can exchange even if you don’t have a budget, isn’t there?)
Now turn your attention to the Inspired Required list. You’ll be amazed at how many of the those tasks will seem to “do themselves”! I bet you didn’t know you had a “silent partner” living in your head who will willingly work while you sleep, did you? Try it. There’s no penalty for sacking them if they don’t come up to expectations!

Simply fantastic, Trevor!
I've been following this method myself for a few years with excellent results. So many people wake up in the morning and THEN figure out what to do — it's so much more efficient to wake up and already instantly have a game plan.
I'm glad to see the idea is moving more main-stream.. keep up the great posts, and hope to see you back around here again soon!

Your article on time-management above was very intriguing and it rings true. Many people think working from home is less of a challenge than working in the traditional office space, when in reality running a home-based business can be twice as challenging! Getting enough sleep is absolutely integral to the clear-headedness needed for concise time-management.

This is a unique one, thanks. As working from home can also prevent you from sleeping, every entrepreneur would really have that ample time to rest the mind for a while but still having the things set and planned for tomorrow. The most challenging part here is taking consideration of the “inspired required” tasks and how automatic for an entrepreneur to finish them because you've got the right spirit upon waking up.
