You Don’t Need More Time—You Need to Own the Time You Have | Bill Korman

We all have the same 168 hours every week.So why do some people feel completely in control of their lives while others constantly feel like they’re running out of time?Today’s guest is Bill Korman, a retired U.S. Navy Chief, leadership strategist, resilience expert, entrepreneur, and author of The 168 Game: Time Ownership vs. Time Management.After 20 years in the U.S. Navy and a career that eventually grew into multiple businesses, a nonprofit, a book, and a coaching program, Bill came to question the conventional idea of “time management.”His argument is simple: you don’t actually manage time—you decide how you own and spend it.In this conversation, we explore:Why Bill believes time management is a flawed conceptThe difference between managing time and owning itWhy your morals, values, and principles should guide your scheduleHow unexpected events expose weaknesses in our plansLessons Bill learned from military serviceWhat failure and bankruptcy taught him about resilienceWhy success without fulfillment isn’t enoughHow to build an operating system for your lifeThe danger of living according to other people’s expectationsWhy disconnection from technology is becoming increasingly importantThe three-day time inventory Bill recommendsHow to recognize whether your daily schedule actually reflects the life you wantBill also shares a practical exercise: track everything you do for three days, then step back and ask whether the way you’re spending your time is actually aligned with your morals, values, and principles.This is ultimately a conversation about something much bigger than productivity.It’s about ownership, purpose, fulfillment, and deliberately choosing how you spend the limited time you have.🌍 Thought Atlashttps://joinpodmatch.com/thoughtatlas🌍 Bill KormanBill Korman’s official website⁠🎙️ BKMR — Bill Korman Mindset RevolutionBill also mentions that he hosts the BKMR (Bill Korman Mindset Revolution) podcast every Friday.📖 The 168 Game: Time Ownership vs. Time ManagementBill says listeners can find the book and accompanying resources through his website.
