Episode 87 | Navigating Time Management and Building a Purposeful Legacy
Leadership is not just about making decisions and guiding teams; it's also about personal growth, managing time effectively, and building a lasting legacy. Joshua K. McMillion's podcast episode is a treasure trove of wisdom for leaders who aspire to excel in time management and leave a mark on the world.
The concept of 'time bends' is introduced as a flexible alternative to the more rigid 'time blocking.' This innovative approach allows leaders to adapt to the unpredictable nature of life without compromising their productivity. Time bends encourage leaders to establish macro-level routines that balance professional responsibilities and personal aspirations. This alignment of daily actions with long-term goals is strategic and critical for legacy building.
Joshua K. McMillion stresses the importance of prioritizing the process over the goals, a mindset that focuses on consistent actions rather than fixating on the end results. This process-oriented approach ensures that leaders continually move towards their vision, even if goals must be adjusted along the way.
The TIME acronym serves as a guide for leaders to manage their minutes effectively. Each letter represents a step in the process: 'T' for time bends, 'I' for identity, 'M' for micro plan, and 'E' for evaluation. Together, they provide a framework for leaders to craft a routine that reflects their values and vision.
Reflection is presented as a crucial tool for time management. Spending a mere fifteen minutes each week to assess and recalibrate strategies can significantly enhance a leader's ability to manage their time. It's an opportunity to review what's working and what isn't and to make the necessary adjustments. This practice ensures that leaders remain on course and that their time investment aligns with their desired legacy.
Accountability partners play a transformative role in a leader's journey. They offer an external perspective and hold leaders responsible for their time management choices. Joshua encourages listeners to find an accountability partner and engage in weekly self-audits to stay aligned with their leadership vision.
The episode concludes with a call to action for leaders to join the Purposeful Accountable Leaders Facebook group. This community serves as a platform for leaders to share insights, support each other, and grow together.
Leadership is a marathon, not a sprint. By adopting the strategies discussed in this podcast episode, leaders can master their time, influence meaningfully, and shape a legacy that stands the test of time. Joshua K. McMillion's insights provide the tools needed for leaders to navigate the challenges of time management with purpose and accountability.

In this powerful episode of Tales of Leadership, I sit down with Jake Larson—affectionately known as “Papa Jake”—a 102-year-old World War II veteran and national treasure whose story has captivated millions across the world.
Born during the Great Depression and raised on a farm in rural Minnesota, Jake’s journey took him from poverty to the front lines of history. At just 15 years old, he joined the National Guard by lying about his age. That bold decision would place him on the path to help plan the D-Day invasion as part of G3 Operations. Armed with a skill most overlooked—typing—Jake was responsible for processing the very orders that sent thousands of men onto Omaha Beach, including himself.
