I’ve watched all of the Rambo movies, and I just watched the new Rambo movie last night.
While watching the latest Rambo movie, I was struck by a parallel to one part of the Great Time Management Secret. In fact this parallel is evident in most of the Rambo movies.
One of the tenets of The Great Time Management Secret is…
TRADITIONAL TIME MANAGEMENT
Traditional time management teaches the EXACT OPPOSITE…be quick to commit and slow to act. The end result of that? A never ending pile of commitments and the feeling of utter and complete overwhelm. How can that lead to fast action? It can’t. How can that lead to results? It can’t. It leads to inaction. It leads to procrastination. It leads to you blaming yourself for failing!
THE GREAT TIME MANAGEMENT SECRET
Compare that to the Great Time Management Secret…be slow to commit but act quickly…and act as if you are unstoppable. In every one of the Rambo movies, especially Rambo 2, 3 and 4, John Rambo has to be convinced several times. In fact in each of the movie he at first says NO to the job…sometimes he says NO more than once. But once he’s fully convinced, he fully commits with everything he has. Once he commits…you can’t stop him from acting on his commitment! He may encounter many obstacles, but because he has few commitments, he can handle the obstacles!
In the two movie trailers below…watch him be slow to commit and fast to act! Watch him use this important tenet of the Great Time Management Secret….
I am not advocating violence in any way. The Great Time Management Secret has absolutely nothing to do with violence.

TRADITIONAL TIME MANAGEMENT
Traditional time management is a time centered approach. Let’s say you spent a lot of time working on something…let’s say you spent 15 years of TIME. According to the teachings of traditional time management you are committed.
THE GREAT TIME MANAGEMENT SECRET
It’s not time that determines your level of commitment. Commitments are not time centered. Your level of commitment is actually reflected in what you are WILLING to do as well as what you ACTUALLY do!
Example…you can spend 15 years writing a novel but NOT FINISH it. Spending 15 years doesn’t mean you’re committed. Or you can spend 6 months, of hard work, doing whatever you need to do and FINISH a novel. That is true commitment. That is following the Great Time Management Secret!
The Great Time Management Secret Movie will be shown on March 7, 2008. Please tell your friends! In this movie, I will reveal the Great Time Management Secret. 5,000 years of time management history is about to be revealed!
To your time management success,
Dr. Jason Raj
