Time is Your Greatest Competition

Description: We are all given the same amount of time in a given day. Additionally, we have been told that we can manifest our success if we are competing against ourselves. Through the analysis of the Yerkes-Dodson Law, the metronome effect, and stress, we will understand why time is our greatest competition.

Takeaway:

  • Leaders will welcome new challenges because they have no problems working under pressure and dealing with tight deadlines. Through this metronome experiment, you realize that you are only competing against yourself when no one is watching. You are competing with yourself when you are practicing and training, and you are improving your skills. However, your accomplishments from workshops, practice and training sessions are meaningless if you can’t execute your purpose when it matters.

The greatest business leaders develop that killer instinct when they can perform at an elite level during stressful situations.

One of the best ways we can stay committed to our objectives is to make sure that we set a deadline for each goal. When a deadline is set, we are establishing a binding contract. At this moment, we have commenced a friendly battle against time for each goal.
