Great question, here’s the full story…

In August 2006, from a tropical island in Thailand, I conducted a 30 day Time Management training course for a handful of clients.

On that beautiful island I put myself through a gruelingly intense 30 days dedicated to controlling every detail of my own time.

I reviewed over 80 software programs (including ‘goal setting’ and ‘personal productivity’) .

And I sent daily emails to the people on the course detailing my ongoing activities, the time management techniques I was testing, along with providing practical exercises for them to apply to their own time management too.

It turned out pretty embarrassing to start with.

You see… I had been selling a time management ebook that I had written. Much similar to the typical time management books you can buy at the book store. Along with some major improvements.

But during those 30 days of total dedication, my old time management system failed me.

Plus: All the time management strategies, tips and techniques I had learned from years of study… also failed me.

• I tried prioritizing by A to E.
• I tried scheduling all my daily activities to exact time slots on my calendar.
• I tried simple to-do lists that I wrote at the beginning of each morning.
• I tried reducing the amount of things to do each day.
• I tried overwhelming myself with lots of things to do hoping it would give me the discipline to do it all.
• I visited dozens of blogs and discussion forums and article sites on the net to try and find help.
• I used the best of those 80+ software programs.

Bottom line: Most time management techniques commonly taught don’t work. They’re unnatural. Short-lived. Difficult to maintain. Etc.

But by the end of the 30 days I had 55 pages of notes… and created a 4-part plan for time management that worked for me. And in the long-term it has worked for about HALF of the clients that joined me on that course.

But what of the other half?

Those 55 pages of notes were still kind of complicated and difficult to maintain. Too much effort was required for a lot of people to be able to maintain them.

Getting better at one area of time management such as:

• prioritizing or organizing your daily locations,
• or creating a full list of all your projects,
• or separating project lists into active, someday, maybe,
• or using time devices as discipline reminders such as timers and stop watches.

They worked on their own. But required a lot of preparation and effort. And were impossible to fit together. There was just too many pieces to this time management puzzle.

Having more effort and discipline is not exactly the right message to tell people that are struggling with time management.

I was forced to research the history of time management for deeper answers.

It became a personal quest to uncover the truth of what would work for the most amount of people.

I deeply believed that how we manage our time was KEY to life success.

Continuing to sift through my notes. Writing in the margins of my personal diary. Trawling through website after website, book after book…

And it wasn’t more than a few weeks past this point that I stumbled on the answer.

A very straightforward and natural approach to managing time that involves a kind of ‘lattice structure’.

Let me explain with these diagrams…

Here’s a ‘hexagonal lattice’:

And here’s the same lattice with one of the sides missing:

You can easily see that something is missing. And that’s how the natural approach to managing time works. By easily showing you wherever something is missing from your approach to time management. Can you imagine how easy that makes managing your time?

And so that’s why I bought the domain name with the word ‘lattice’ in it: Time Management System Lattice .com

I refined the system and it turned out so powerful as to completely turn people’s failure with managing time around, into instant and total success…

Rather than turning my 100+ pages of notes into a giant training course, I decided to teach the system only to a small group of private clients.

“…intrigued by what appeared to be something different and perhaps more effective then the GTD approach? It seems your system has a more organic/natural and complete feel to it.” – Richard L

Now we call it InstaTime, because it gives instant success with time management to anyone that puts it into action by cutting out all the old crap from obsolete time management techniques – whether in business or in your personal life.

In fact, the entire system can be summarized on just 15-pages.

I think of it like the carbon based ‘lattice structure’ of coal turning into diamond under great pressure.

So that’s the story behind the domain name TimeManagementSystemLattice.com

Wow that was a long story with some great memories. Thanks for asking Mike.

The report that exposes the 3 most popular and most destructive old fashioned time management techniques still being taught today is available from the homepage if you haven’t yet got it.

And the full InstaTime system is also now available.

In 2006 I conducted a 30 day time management holiday from a beach side hut on a tropical island in Thailand.

The InstaTime System has grown since then to an incredibly effective yet totally simple to apply system of personal time management.

I hope you’ve enjoy the free report available from the homepage exposing the 3 most awful time management techniques still in use today.

On with the show…
