Nancy Nardin’s “215 movement”: time is shorter than you think. Make the most of it.

Last week we posted, thrilled, “We’re Hot Tool of the Month at Smart Selling Tools!” Honoring our TimeDriver personal scheduler, sales/productivity guru Nancy Nardin said it “Fits well with our 215 movement. It automates a task that is usually quite time-consuming.”

215 Movement?? I clicked through, and it’s eye-opening. You might think there are 365 days in a year, but here’s the reality.

  • Take away 104 weekend days
  • 15 vacation and sick days
  • 24 days for non-selling meetings (e.g. internal sales meetings & events), training and travel time
  • 7 paid holiday days

150 days are gone before you start! “That leaves 215 days we can spend selling,” she says. (Or whatever produces value in your job.)

Lesson: don’t waste time on trivial tasks. Check out her list of “215 killers” on the right side of her 215 Movement page.

Takeaway: When you find yourself wrestling with the back-and-forth hassle of setting appointments it should drive you nuts: you’re killing your own productivity.

Here’s Nancy’s own TimeDriver welcome page:
