Fourth Ultimate Gift: We Excel In The Careers Of Our Dreams
Putting Your New Power To Work
Now I put the physical movements to work, just as I witnessed in my Fourth Vision. Consider that small personal computers years ago broke through to produce almost any image -- abstract designs, quality pictures, now even motion pictures. The small home computers produced those advanced images through a two-step process: First, they broke down complex images to their handful of fundamental shapes. Indeed, every shape on earth comes from a handful of fundamental shapes just as all colors on earth come from three fundamental colors -- red, yellow, and blue. Second, the home computers interlocked little specks of those handful of fundamental shapes by the hundreds to form advanced images with incredible speed, power, and control. The ability to produce complex images became quite simple and efficient.
Similarly, my complex mini-company broke down to a few fundamental movements. Just as the many colors and many shapes all reduced to a few fundamental colors and shapes, the many projects and deals in my mini-company all reduced to a few fundamental movements. I interlocked all the little tasks of those handful of basic movements by the hundreds to perform advanced business moves with amazing speed, power, and control. The ability to manage my complex mini-company became quite simple and efficient.

As in my Vision, after determining my basic movements, I determined the approximate activity of each movement. In other words, I estimated the percentage of my 10-hour day that I should devote to each movement. Recognize that I estimated what I should devote, not necessarily what I was devoting at the time. I estimated the following percentages:
(1) | Phone Calls | 20% | or | 2 | hrs. |
(2) | Letter Writing | 15% | or | 1.5 | hrs. |
(3) | Copy Writing | 10% | or | 1 | hrs. |
(4) | Accounting | 20% | or | 2 | hrs. |
(5) | Meetings | 15% | or | 1.5 | hrs. |
(6) | Operations | 20% | or | 2 | hrs. |
Then, as in my Fourth Vision of the new code, I made a daily schedule as follows:
8:00-10:00am | Phone Calls (2 hrs.) |
10:00-11:30 | Letter Writing (1.5 hrs.) |
11:30-1:30pm | Operations (2 hrs.) |
1:30-2:30 | Copy Writing (1 hrs.) |
2:30-4:30 | Accounting (2 hrs.) |
4:30-6:00 | Meetings (1.5 hrs.) |
Now, look over my schedule, "Three Days Of Tasks Interlocked" on the next page. I did not schedule my tasks to time as did the traditional daily schedule. I scheduled my physical movements to time (just as the assembly-line did not schedule tasks to time as in the hand-built days; it scheduled the physical movements to time stations).
Driving Home Success
Indeed, the inferior traditional schedule that scheduled tasks to time was like the inferior hand-built car process, the traditional way during the early 1900s that scheduled tasks to time -- to the time-consuming tasks of putting in and adjusting the steering wheel, then carrying over and hand-fitting the seats, collating the rubber and rim and then putting on the wheel, and so on. The 20th-century traditional schedule missed the interlocking integration of scheduling the physical movements to time, out of which surfaced intensified, streamlined, physically integrated tasks like the intensified, streamlined tasks of a rivet-man in an assembly-line.
Look closely at my three-day schedule on the previous page. I drove home my physically integrated tasks like the rivet man drove home rivets. Like the rivet man driving in rivet! after rivet! after rivet!...I pushed out phone call! after phone call! after phone call! I did not walk over and have a meeting, then pick up the phone to make a call, then try my hand at a little copy writing, then make another call, then draft a letter. Such a common scenario among businessmen could be compared to the old way of building cars by putting the seats in, then coming over and putting in the brakes, changing tools to work on the steering wheel, then stopping for a lunch break. No, I just "drove that rivet home", drove it home. In my Vision, upon integrating movements to time, the average person soared beyond all productivity records just as the development of the assembly-line soared past all productivity records.
Quadrupling Success
The 21st-century schedule first doubled, then tripled, then quadrupled my intensity. To my delight, I discovered intensity was the most leveraged time-management tool. For example, previously I tried several popular time-management courses; they offered unrealistic disciplines to find an extra hour to two hours in a day. Even if I could handle the disciplines, how much good was an extra hour? Aside from not being worth the effort, that extra hour would not make me a money/power giant.
Now consider that as I doubled my intensity, I basically doubled my capacity. Suddenly, I in a sense gained eight extra hours in my day! As I tripled my intensity, I gained sixteen extra hours in my day! With a physically streamlined schedule to run my mini-company, my intensity continued to multiply up to many times what it once was. Suddenly, I was in businessman's heaven!
The physically streamlined schedule on the previous page deceives the reader as to just how much I really accomplished. Like observing a skillful athlete, the simplicity and ease tended to camouflage the significance of my money-making factory. See Diagram Eight over the next five pages, however, to get a perspective of the volume of my living job. To appreciate the intensity generated by my streamlined schedule, which I patterned after the 21st-century schedules I saw in my Fourth Vision, realize that everything on that five-page power-thinking list was done or was put into motion in one week. (Diagram Seven, "Three Days Interlocked" on page 187, shows Monday through Wednesday of that week.) A lot was on that list in Diagram Eight. All those money-making projects were pushed through the money-making factory in a week! That happened by creating intense pockets of time interlocked to the physical movements, just like all ordinary people's schedules in the Fourth Vision.
