Stop wasting time. I'm gonna share with you the three time rules I followed to go from broke to multimillionaire. See, when kids come up to me and I'm driving one of my supercars, they always ask, what do you do? And I always say to them, it's not what I do, it's what I did. Welcome to the Martell Method.
I went from rehab at 17 to building a $100 million empire and being a Wall Street Journal bestselling author.

Getting Things Done by David Allen is one of the best books ever written on doing more. I fell in love with it. I loved it so much that I actually went to one of his seminars. And because of that experience, he taught me a completely different way to work that I wanna share with you now. This is the 4D framework. The first D is do it. The rule is if it takes less than two minutes, you do it now.
You don't even write it down. It'll take you more time. to write it down, and to just get it done. So if that means sending a text message, calling someone, I literally was just talking to somebody and they were like, I wonder if we can make this work on YouTube. I said, one sec, I called the person, asked the question, we got it done right away. We don't even write it down.
The second D is delegate it. If someone else can do it, let them. Stop working on stuff you don't need to do. The third D is defer it. This is really important for things that are not now. They need to get done. They're just not a this week, even this month.
So I always try to put it in a place where I know I'm gonna review it so I don't get bogged down by the pressure of having all these open loops for things that don't need my attention today. The fourth D is delete it. If it doesn't serve your goals, even if you want to do it, you'd like to do it, you've got to learn to say no. Here's the deal. A yes is a no to your goals.
A no is a yes to your potential dreams. You have to learn to say no so you create the space so it's available to you when you have the opportunity to execute to make the thing happen. Here's what I like to tell people. If you don't have a framework for managing time, time will manage you.
But time isn't the only thing you need to manage, which brings us to rule number two, you don't manage time, you manage energy. When I first started getting going, I was so worried of missing opportunities that I said yes to everything that my calendar was like a tapestry of meetings that made no sense. I mean, I used to say yes to meetings at 9 a.m.
in the morning, breaking up my most creative time for some meeting that I could have done in the afternoon. Understanding how you naturally want to flow through your day so that you're available for the work that you need to get done is a game changer in business. Here's the mental model to consider. You can't do more if you don't have energy for more.
