How to Master Time Management
Sunil Tulsiani
Former Police Officer, Speaker, Author, Mentor, Investor & Founder of Professional Investors Club
Before stepping into the exciting world of real estate, I served as a police officer, a role that taught me discipline and structure. But when I switched to entrepreneurship, I faced a new set of challenges.
One day, early in my career, I missed my daughter's school play because of a meeting that could have easily been an email. Seeing her disappointment made me realize I needed a better way to manage my time—not just for my business, but to be there for the moments that mattered most. That night was a wake-up call for me, pushing me to find better strategies to balance my professional and personal life.
Prioritize with Precision
Every day, we all have tons to do, but not everything deserves your full attention. Learning to prioritize was a game-changer for me. Using simple tools like the Eisenhower Box, I learned to sort tasks by importance and urgency. This method helps me spend my time on things that truly push my goals forward.
Empower Through Delegation
One of the toughest lessons for me was realizing I can't do everything on my own. Delegating tasks to my team not only built their skills but also freed up my time to focus on where I can make the biggest impact. Outsourcing things like digital marketing and admin tasks meant I could focus on what I do best.
Harness the Power of Technology
Using technology smartly has saved me countless hours. Tools like Asana for project management and Zapier for automating routine tasks have made a huge difference. They help keep everything running smoothly, which lets me focus more on big-picture strategies.
Set Strong Boundaries
As my business grew, so did the demands on my time. I had to learn to say "no" and set clear boundaries. This way, I keep my time for projects and people that align with my goals and values. It’s tough, but it means I don’t spread myself too thin.

Revolutionize Your Day with Time Blocking
Time blocking has been a major boost for my daily productivity. By setting aside specific times for different tasks, I can focus deeply on one thing at a time. This helps me get more done and makes sure I’m not always distracted by what’s next.
Prioritize Your Well-being
I used to think working non-stop was the way to succeed. But I learned the hard way that your health is crucial for long-term productivity. Making time for exercise, rest, and family is essential. It keeps me sharp and ready to tackle each day.
Stay Agile and Reflective
No system is perfect right from the start. I regularly take time to look back at what I’m doing and make tweaks. Being flexible and willing to adjust helps me stay effective as my business and personal life evolve.
Closing Thoughts
Good time management isn’t just about getting more done in less time; it’s about making sure you’re there for the things that truly matter. By focusing on what’s important, delegating wisely, and using technology to streamline tasks, I’ve not only reached my business goals but also enjoyed my life more fully. Time is precious—let’s use it to build a life we love.
This approach has transformed how I live and work. If you’re looking to take control of your time and achieve a better balance, I’m here to tell you it’s possible. Let’s make every moment count, and enjoy the journey as much as the destination.
