DO THIS FOR TIME FREEDOM | TRENT SHELTON

About this video

Shelton presents his time management framework called the AM-PM-WM method, which categorizes how people spend their time into three buckets: automatic minutes (recurring obligations like sleep and commutes), wasted minutes (unproductive activities like excessive social media use or staying in harmful situations), and purposeful minutes (time spent on meaningful activities aligned with one’s gifts and goals). He argues that most people spend too much time in the first two categories and too little in purposeful activities, leading to unhappiness and lack of fulfillment.

Key takeaways

• Shelton recommends auditing your time by categorizing it into automatic minutes (unchangeable obligations), wasted minutes (distractions and unproductive activities), and purposeful minutes (meaningful work aligned with your goals)
• Shelton suggests checking your phone’s screen time to identify wasted minutes, as many people claim to lack time while spending hours daily on social media without productive purpose
• Shelton believes that spending more time in purposeful minutes rather than automatic or wasted minutes leads to greater fulfillment and prevents burnout from excessive grind
