4. Purge your commitments

The most direct method to cut nonsense and create free time on your calendar is to purge your current commitments in all areas of your life.

If you have not yet opened your calendar or to‐do list to delete, postpone, cancel, and eliminate anything you can, this is your moment.

I go through a formal Weekly Review process (which you can read more about in my first book, The 5 AM Miracle) to thoroughly vet my calendar on a routine basis.

My review process includes a vitally important step of looking forward to the next week and clearing whatever I can to make room for my top three weekly goals.

Depending on the level of your attachment to the scheduled tasks, projects, and events already booked on your calendar, and your willingness (or lack thereof) to let someone down, this process could be your greatest challenge so far.

To help expedite the purge, follow a few simple steps:

Cut the easy stuff first, focusing on activities and events you could easily skip forever.

Cut tasks that you like but secretly know do not truly help in your quest to accomplish your vital few goals.

Evaluate the remaining items on your calendar to determine how closely they align with your current and most important objectives.

Upset one person. Go ahead and rip off the Band‐Aid now because this is going to become part of your daily life. Tell one person you cannot attend their meeting, party, or conference call. Trust me; you will feel free and liberated when it is over.
