TEN REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD ENROLL IN ACCOUNTABILITY SCHOOL
August 5, 2009

Yo Unstoppable One!
 
Here are the ten reasons why you should enroll in my online-based time management and accountability school program (www.AccountabilitySchool.com):

10. It only costs $300 for three months.

9. You can participate from ANYWHERE in the world.

8. You will finally learn how to get 96 hours of effectiveness out of each 24 hour day.

7. Current student Yuri Geylik in Brooklyn writes:
"Accountability School is the only time management and personal productivity system that is designed to motivate and support its members 24/7. Even more importantly, the system promotes the sense of responsibility for one's dreams and actions. Monroe Mann deserves an award for inventing the tool so desperately needed by our society!"

6. You will make new friends and colleagues from around the world who through some friendly but firm 'peer pressure' are going to make sure you get more done each month than you did the last month.

5. Your tuition includes two 30-minute one-on-one sessions with Monroe Mann by telephone to help get your ass in gear.

4. Current student Beverly Aarons
in Paris, France writes, "Joining Monroe's Accountability School has been both motivational and inspiring. In just 10 days I've made more progress on my scifi series and other projects than I've made in months. What a return on my investment!  Monroe's Accountability School is highly recommended for those who want to GET IT DONE! www.BeverlyAarons.com"

3. When Monroe's new book, "Time Zen" comes out, you will receive a free SIGNED copy.  And if you sign up now, you get the book NOW in Microsoft Word format, so you can read it immediately. 

2. The program will help you put together your ten year business and career strategy, show you how to break it down all the way into your to-do list for TOMORROW, and how to finally become one with time.


1. You will get more done than you EVER thought possible.  That is something I personally guarantee to you.

EXCERPT FROM MY UPCOMING BOOK "TIME ZEN"

FROM THE INTRODUCTION: A NEW PARADIGM  (c) 2009 by Monroe Mann

The truth of the matter is that most major success in this right-brain, internet-connected, uber-competitive world no longer comes from doing things consecutively.  If you do things consecutively, you lose.  That is a fact.  Slow and steady may have won the race in the past, but today, in order to even get into the race, you have to be the one organizing it too, and doing everything all at the same time. 

In other words, in today's world, it's the multitasker who wins the race—because often you can't get into the race unless you put the thing together too.  Sure, forty years ago, you could focus on one trade and get a job that would support you for the rest of your life.  These days, though, you're fortunate if you have the same job in the same industry for a few years.  The time to become a little bit more diverse in your pursuits has returned.  Da Vinci would be proud.

And in this new day and age, if you can't keep up with those of us who know 'how to juggle' multiple projects, then tough luck, you're gonna be left in the dust.  Yes, we have entered the age of the time masters, and you would choose well to join us.  While time itself moves forward on a single timeline, that doesn't mean your projects have to move forward on that single timeline.  Instead, the idea is to propel many projects forward on a whole bunch of timelines. 

In other words (and here's the basic time philosophy of the book):

 Doing one thing at a time is a recipe for a life that won't keep up with your dreams.

   You see, while each of us does only have 24 hours in a day, that's the wrong way to look at time management.  The key to successfully doing more, in less time, and with better results, is to stop thinking linearly, and start thinking spacially and synergistically.

Think about it conceptually: we may only have 24 hours in a day, but if we can each learn to juggle three or four balls during every hour (instead of just one), we essentially end up with 96 hours of effectiveness per day.  Quite a jump in productivity.

And while the floor space of our lives—like the floor space of our offices—may be limited, if we conceptually understand the idea of 'juggling', it should be clear that by juggling your various projects and dreams up off the two dimensional timeline, and into the three dimensional space above and around you, you are going to be able to take on and handle a heck of a lot more projects than you normally could. 

Remember the key premise of this book: doing one thing at a time is a recipe for a life that won't keep up with your dreams.  I know we've all heard that it's better to do one thing at a time, and put all of our energy into that one thing until completion, and then move onto the next thing… but that just won't work if you have great ambition and want to live a greater than average life.  Think of all those people who have done amazing things with their lives.  For example, Da Vinci, Edison, Thatcher, and even in our own time, Spielberg or Stefani.  Do you really think that they've done so much with their lives by focusing on just one thing, and then moving to the next in a linear manner?  Da Vinci was working on scientific musings at the same time he was drawing, inventing, and theoreticizing.  Spielberg was writing screenplays while he was directing them, producing them, and casting them.  Edison was failing for the thousandth time on the light bulb while he was working on hundreds of other inventions at the same time.  Stefani was recording while designing clothes.  And I am writing this book while I am also writing three others, while in law school, while shooting two films, while running my businesses, and while rehearsing my songs to perform at Pete's Candy Store in Brooklyn.  Focusing is for losers—for those boring people who have the ability to speak only to a select group of people at a cocktail party that understand or care about their particular niche.

I know that some studies have concluded that multitasking actually reduces the amount of brain power we are using, citing examples that today's youth know all about multitasking and processing, but little about focusing and analysis.  There may be a lot of truth to that analysis but it leaves out an important point: multitasking and processing by itself may be of little use, but when you combine those qualities with focus and analysis, it's quite amazing what one can accomplish.  And that is what this book is all about.

My point is simply this: you can come up with as many excuses as you like to rationalize what I call 'your laziness', but in the end, if you want to make things happen in this life, you have to learn to multitask.  And that requires the mastery of your time. 

You have to learn to squeeze every valuable second out of every valuable minute in such a way that it encourages the time efficiency you are seeking.  In other words, in order to juggle projects, you need to have control over your time; you cannot let time control you. 

And not surprisingly, the more efficient you are with time, the more organized your space will become too—they are absolutely related.  And the more organized your space, the more quickly you will get things done because everything is well organized.  Make sense?  Good, because now this is where things get confusing. 

When I say 'time', I don't just mean 60 minutes in every hour.  I mean that the more efficient you become, you'll actually learn how to get 180 minutes out of every hour—through efficiency, delegation, productivity, etc.  Said another way, your space is where you are able to apply the time you have.  If you are the most amazing time zen master ever… but your life as a whole is a mess, then you're not going to get very far. Conversely, if your life's space is clearly organized, but you are not able to manage time very well… again, you're not going to get very far.  In other words, you cannot be good at time management if you are disorganized, and you cannot be organized if you don't know how to properly manage your time—for what is time management but clearly organized use of your time.  That's what this book is going to show you how to do.
