You may have heard the saying that it isn’t time management we have trouble with—it’s choice management.

We all have the same amount of time in a day. So if we aren’t getting things done, the problem isn’t that we don’t have enough time. The problem is that we aren’t making good choices about how to spend our time. Keeping that in mind, I thought I’d share some tips that I’ve picked up from the CEOs I engage with on a daily basis. If you really want to create the best schedule to maximize efficiency, you’ll want to do the following.

Stick to a Routine

Every high-yield CEO I know has a set routine. They go to bed at the same time; they wake up at the same time. They start and finish work around the same time. Yes, you want to be flexible enough that you can disrupt your routine when necessary, but generally, the best way to manage work so that things don’t become chaotic is to have a fairly predictable schedule.
